is like a Vaseline-ish productâŚmy understanding is it's like French Vaseline. Sometimes I get dry skin above my eyelids and around the corners of my mouth, and it helps a lot and doesn't do any damage like cortisone cream which can weaken the skin if overused. My brain used to be so susceptible to expensive âbeautyâ product advertising, but then I started getting really bad acne in my early 20âs, so now I see a dermatologist and use some medicated skin care, which helps so much and outside of that I love finding pharmacy or grocery store solutions to my skin issues. Like the aforementioned Homeoplasmine, coconut oil as body lotion, and icing my under eyes in the morning. This is all really obvious stuff, so I'm putting it under the umbrella of Homeoplasmine. (I do, however, still buy pretty lux moisturizers because the meds dry my skin out soooooo much.)

Honestly, I may have replaced my love of random creams and serums with my love of what i call âdrink-ysâ Which here means: non-alcoholic flavored sodas. I do love all the crazy LA ones that have, like, mushroom adaptogens and promise to improve your mood. Though, thus far, nothing improves my mood like a lime yuzu Fever Tree poured over ice. Totally satisfies a craving for a cocktail or a dessert.

Written and directed by Annie Baker, Janet Planet has settled in my mind as the best movie Iâve seen this year. Itâs sort of a slow burn, but it keeps burning in your heart months and months after you finish watching. Itâs slow and highly visual, but doesnât feel tone poem-y at all. The performances are extraordinary. And the way that Annie uses the camera to convey emotion is like a master class. You never feel the director, only the story. But if you analyze the film later, you realize how gracefully you were guided through.

A lifelong fan of Avatar the last Airbender, I resisted the Legend of Korra for a long time. But after completing maybe my 300th rewatch of the original series, I was hungry for more and dove back into Korra.Wow was I blown away. Korra's story is almost more like real life than Aangs. It's not just one big bad bad guy you have to defeat, it's lots of medium sized bad guys. Some want world domination, some want to liberate the world through force, and Korra tackles them all bravely as well as the demons and fear within herself.

Not the film, but the anime TV show. They are totally different stories that have nothing to do with each other, but both happen to be excellent.You donât need me to recommend the film to you, as it won the Oscar, but the show, if you havenât seen it, is incredible. I recommend it to all fans of anime, to fans of the Matrix, or fans of sorta the pandemic genre, if such a genre exists, which I think it does. It is exciting. Itâs hot. Itâs fun and I cried at the end.

People will tell you to eat spinach or kale, but arugula is even better for the skin and I kind of like the spicy flavor with the little mango pineapple lime juice and a half a banana⌠So goodâŚalso, if you want to, sometimes I add some frozen wild blueberries and a splash of olive oil. I donât recommend a protein powder in this unless it's flavorless.
