Missha US is also having a 40% off sale. Everything is 40% off site wide, and they have a gift with purchase. Spend $100, and you become a VIP member. VIP members get free shipping on orders over $20, 30% off all regular priced items, and a birthday reward. If you don't qualify for free shipping, ground shipping is about $6.
Amazon also carries a lot of Missha items. I feel like they are the cheapest, especially if you figure in shipping. Here is an example:
M Perfect Cover BB Cream #13
Amazon : $10.80 Free Shipping with Prime
Missha US : $13.20 Free shipping with VIP or $5.99 Ground shipping.
Soko Glam : $13.20 Free shipping on orders over $35 or Shipping is $6.95. (Coupon code: MISSHA4U is needed to get 40% off).

And the Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Liquid Soap, Lavender, 32 Fluid Ounce 32 oz (big!) is only $13.99, even cheaper than the peppermint ones which is $15.99.

So if you buy two of the lavender soap, you can add another brush soap like the Ecotools Cruelty Free and Eco Friendly Makeup Brush Cleansing Shampoo, 6 Ounce; Wash Away Surface Makeup, Oil, and Impurities from Brushes for only $3.39. Now your total will be a little over $30, after $10 off is $20 for THREE brush liquid soaps. yay! I love clean brushes and beauty blenders!

I like this Amazon deal better than the $10 gift card for spending $30 Target deal. Because you just pay less, while in Target, you have to pay $30 then get a gift card.

I have that issue with boxes too. I always keep a few Ulta ones around for shipping. I dabble with Ebay as well. It sucks, because in addition to the "I might need it one day narrative", now there is the "someone will buy that on Ebay, why would I toss it when I can make a few bucks?". I have a mental list of so many "trash" items that others would buy. There really is a market for everything.

I came across "The Minimalists" (they are a friend/ blogger duo) who wrote books ("Everything That Remains" ), do tours, and even have a documentary out on Netflix. The title that I linked is the only one I've read. I think the others are a compilation of essays and not in tradition chapter form. Anyhow, I liked Milburn's writing style. It was a bit floral and ^(a little pretentious) at times; however there were some good insights, and had some memorable scenes that still resonate strongly with me.

Branching off of that, I appreciated Joshua Becker's book. He has children, and has incorporated how that affects the process of downsizing and minimalism. If I recall correctly, this book has religious underones (I think the author is Christian, so he does reflect and tie all of it back to his relationship with God).

I read this one too. This lady was featured in The Minimalists' documentary. I think I liked it. lol. I can't remember. However, I do recall one specific story in it.

So yeah, maybe this will inspire and help you towards your goals. I certainly need to revisit them as well.

That totally sucks, babe! You have a right to be pissed off. It sounds like you have a firm grip on excelling at the technical aspect of your job. I know that there is more to succeeding at work than just this one facet. I read this book a long, long time ago and I found it so helpful that I turned around and bought one for my cousin. First, I have to warn you, the language used by the writer is kinda silly and possibly dated but the advice she gives is valid. It covers basics but it also introduced me to some concepts I wish I had known before I started my career. It is called "The Big Sister'sGuide to the World of Work." A second book that came highly recommended but I have only flipped thru is "Mistakes I Made at Work." Hope that helps. Wishing you luck!

Since I just started collecting makeup on Black Friday (and am having so much fun thanks to this sub), my palettes have been crowding into the drawers of my little countertop organizer.
This week I finally ordered a clear file organizer to keep them in, and I'm so happy with it! Good quality for the money and looks lovely with all the cute palettes!

Off-topic...do you follow the age guidelines when buying children’s toys? My niece is turning two and I bought this in Costco, but a Disney Junior one. I didn’t look at the age until I got home and it’s recommended for age 3 and up. I let her play on my old Brookstone Boogie Board and I thought this toy was similar to that. All opinions welcome.

Try a prenatal vitamin. I know it works to make your hair longer, but I feel like it has made my hair bigger too, if that makes sense. I take Rainbow Light Prenatal Vitamins . My nails are better too.

I love Dr Brandt microdermabrasion exfoliant. It’s not cheap, but the 2oz is half the price of the comparable size of Exfolikate on Amazon. Amazon

Not helpful for filling out an Ulta order, but I have to share these makeup remover cloths I got from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07VFM5M2N?

I have makeup erasers, some no name brands, etc. These outperform by far. I have cut a couple into little squares to use for toner and such.

I also picked up some colored ones to use for dusting...lol. A little water, and it cleans my cabinet fronts without leaving residue or water marks.

This is my first post here so let me know if I did anything wrong. Saw this lightning deal, here’s the link

Only available for the next 5 hours!
