Healthy skin anti-blemish anti-wrinkle. I'm not sure the anti-wrinkle did anything but it was the perfect blend for not too heavy but still keeping the non-hormone/ non-cystic zits at bay.

I'd gotten it much cheaper (and in bulk) at drugstore.com. When I remembered to order before I ran out. Then it required the $12 and a trip to Ulta (which finally was the only place I could find it offline anymore.)

I fucking hate chasing coupon sales, sorry. I save my Bloodbath, petstore and hardware cards mailers when I know I have something I'm getting there soon, but I'm not going to chase them. I chase after enough, I have little patience for else.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sorry. Just trying to help.

I highly recommend the Paula's Choice anti-aging stuff (it's a little pricier than drugstore, but most of it isn't too crazy, and you can get samples of all of it). This stuff in particular is amazing--makes my skin not flaky, but doesn't irritate, and also feels kinda moisturizing.

The day moisturizer (with SPF) is pretty good too--I liked this one:

Bonus, use my link and get $10 off!

No, it wasn't you in particular. Someone at working lunch just went on and on and on about couponing today in the most smug and sanctimonious manner and it just made me tired and tetchy. I shouldn't have been so snappy about it, apologies.

(Also, they made me want to go poison all bees, buy a gun and shoot cute things, drive leaded gas guzzlers and pave my yard with uranium and lead. Hit all the high points, for sure.)

Ah, yis. This happens whenever someone brings up the Ant-Man movie, and my rant usually ends with, "Hank Pym makes me want to start a war just because he's a pacifist."

I have fun playing with the numbers with couponing. Plus, free/cheap stuff. (Though right now it's annoying me, because I figured out a really great deal on sunscreen, but it requires buying two specific types of sunscreen in the same purchase at Rite Aid, and of the two Rite Aids I usually go to, each one carries one of those types, but neither carries both.)

Either I got paint up my nose- unlikely (I experimentally painted a few spindles last night) or something started blooming that smells really ammonia-y. Yech.

I saw WILD alligators yesterday, fulfilling my modest ambition for touristing. I mean, it's easy to see them in a zoo, but in their natural environment is another thing entire.

Another thing that SC has is fox squirrels, which look like the illicit love children of squirrels and raccoons. [link]

They're all over the grounds of Brookgreen Gardens, which I've been spending major time at.

I am awake way too early, on my way to the airport. But I did wake up and everything, so here's hoping I didn't forget something crucial.
