OK, it’s true, I seemingly have a new foundation routine every two seconds because I like to switch things up all the time. Lately I’ve been using a slightly different combo of some old faves, and I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what I’ve been doing with my skin. So I guess it’s working for me! Here’s the product lineup in order from start to finish… MAC Fix+: A few spritzes on bare skin MAC Prep+ Prime Natural Radiance: One pump applied all over face MAC Mineralize Timecheck Lotion: One pump on oily spots (forehead, nose, chin) MAC...

So…what is the Monday Poll? Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons.

Above that figure, is more likely that this visualization will make you feel melancholic. And below forties, or well below, well… congrats too! ;-)Via FlowingData: Who is Older and Younger than You Nerd Notes Data comes from the 2014 American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, which I pulled from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series.

“Because Old Navy” is as good a reason as any to sport sparkly skin on a typical spring Tuesday.

If there’s a maximum number of days a person should spend in sleepwear per year, I’ve definitely exceeded that limit!
