Man, now that it's gotten warmer, my face is all "Moisturizer? GTFO!" and I have to remind it that it's as old as the rest of me, and the wrinkles aren't going away.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

the temp ones that someone recommended to me in Bitches really help. They are disposable and you use them for 3 days?
le nubian, I wish those were a possibility, but we are pretty much on plan D or E here (I've lost track), so we are down to having a guard made that only covers my two front lower teeth, and crossing fingers.
I, too, love the Mario Badescu stuff -- it's the only thing I've found that actually improves my Rosacea, instead of just not-irritating it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Cook's Illustrated recommends a pinch of sugar for roasting broccoli, maybe as much as a teaspoon for a whole pan, I don't remember. Not sure if I can tell the difference between adding it or not. Olive oil is good, I think I just use a little pepper and parmesan, garlic sounds good.
Apropos of recent conversation - I didn't think this dress was empire-waisted when I bought it (online, so didn't try it on).

It will soak up more oil than you expect when tossing it (this is not a bad thing) but otherwise either of those options sound good. The oil, salt, garlic is what I've done.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I actually like to quickly steam broccoli (in the microwave) and then drain before I roast it, because it keeps the stems from getting too stringy.

It doesn't get overdone before it gets crispy?

Just moisturizer, or something else too, for the rosacea?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mario Badescu made my acne an afterthought. It's been amazing. And expensive. But amazing.
My stomach is still upset and it hurts so much my legs are shaking. Not sure what to tell work, but I can't drive this way. Hands kinda shake too.

In "I can learn about self-care" news, I am totally stressed out about the press of end of year kid stuff, and stupidly scheduled a huge work thing for next week. So in addition to complaining on the internet, I just emailed two friends and suggested we get together on my day off tomorrow! (One of the plans is weeding the school garden, which manages to be BOTH virtuous volunteer work AND super fun and relaxing for me!)
