Winter Skincare Guide 2025 ~

Save your skin this Winter.

No million step routines, no special tools or foreign skincare,

just pure hydration and protection.  

Castor oil + Vanicream Combo

Do you want the softest, smoothest skin ever? Grab a bottle of castor oil and a tub of Vanicream, and mix them together. I’ve been obsessed with Vanicream for yearssss now and I’ve put all my girlfriends onto it. Castor oil has been used for centuries for all kinds of purposes; hair growth, skin moisturizer, and even a body detoxer. BUT – I never thought of mixing them together.

Vanicream is a skin healer, and castor oil can penetrate the skin deeper than any other oil.

Your skin will be buttery smooth and sealed to perfection.

PS: for the body mix castor oil and shea butter ♡

Amazon.com: Handcraft Blends Organic Castor Oil - 16 Fl Oz - 100% Pure and Natural - Premium Grade Oil for Hair Growth, Eyelashes and Eyebrows 

2. Rose Water Spray 

Going back to our roots – a morning spritz of rose water will plump and hydrate the skin – especially on no makeup days.

Make your skin glow with dewy hydration in just one step.

The forever classic Mario Badescu Spray:

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rose Water for All Skin Types, Face Mist that Hydrates, Rejuvenates & Clarifies, 8 FL OZ 

3. Sunscreen 

It doesn’t matter what time of a year it is – if the sun is out–

so is the SPF.

Did you know UV Rays can reflect off snow? Well now you know.

(that rhymed.) 

UV can also penetrate thru windows and car windshields.

So go and reapply!

My favorite SPF of all time! No white cast, no tears, and it helps improve the look of skin over time– repairing the appears of old acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. 

La Roche Posay Anthelios UV Hydra Sunscreen SPF 50 | Daily Hydrating Sunscreen for Face with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E | Broad Spectrum Invisible SPF Protection | Anti Aging | Fragrance Free

Another fan favorite: hydrating and no white sheen. Usually more affordable but shop prices. This is a 3 pack:

Amazon.com : Biore UV Aqua Rich SPF 30 PA+++ Daily Moisturizer Sunscreen for Face, For Sensitive Skin, Oil Free, Hyaluronic Acid, Vegan, Oxybenzone & Octinoxate Free, Dermatologist Tested, 1.7 Oz/3pk 

4. Pimple Patches 

This year we are leaving our breakouts ALONE.

No picking or popping. This year we’re being mature and resisting instant gratification –  and letting them be! Grab a pack of clear patches, slap one on, and call it a day! Set it and forget it.

Your future skin will thank you!

This is my favorite brand Peach Slices (linked) – these patches are SUPER clear and barely visible to the naked eye; the patches are also super sticky so you don’t have to worry about the patch slipping and sliding throughout the day:

Amazon.com: Peach Slices | Acne Spot Dots | Hydrocolloid Acne Patches | For Zits, Blemishes, & Breakouts | Vegan | Cruelty-Free | Pimple Patches | Facial Skin Care Products | 3 Sizes (7mm, 10mm, & 12mm) | 30 Ct : Beauty & Personal Care

ELF brand is an OKAY dupe – much cheaper with more product.

The patches are more visible and not as adhesive:

5. Aloe Sheet Mask

I randomly treated myself to a sheet mask a few months back and now Im obsessed! I apply the mask right before bed and sleep in it; when I rise my skin is beaming and juicy. Aloe is natural hydration for the skin, helps to repair and heal the damaged skin barriers, and is naturally anti-aging!

ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. ♡

Distressing news in The Independent today:

“David Lynch has revealed he can no longer leave his house since being diagnosed with emphysema. The director of films including Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive, who created and starred in Twin Peaks, shared the revelation in a new interview about his career. Speaking to Sight & Sound magazine, Lynch, 78, said he was diagnosed with emphysema due to smoking throughout his life and said that, if he directs again, it will have to be remotely as he cannot “go out” due to fears he will get Covid. “I’ve gotten emphysema from smoking for so long and so I’m homebound whether I like it or not. It would be very bad for me to get sick, even with a cold,” he said, revealing that he “can only walk a short distance before” he’s “out of oxygen.” It’s because of this that Lynch says it is unlikely he will direct again, but if he does, he will be unable to do so in person. However, while saying “I would do it remotely if it comes to it”, he said: “I wouldn’t like that so much.””

For Lynch fans, this is obviously deeply saddening (and explains his low profile in recent years). If Inland Empire (2006) represents his last feature film and Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) his final artistic statement, Lynch’s career is ending on a creative high.

Update on this: Lynch has since posted this statement on Twitter. “Ladies and Gentlemen. Yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema. I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests, and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire. I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern. Love, David.” It’s worth bearing in mind Lynch is a multimedia artist so even if he never directs a film again (which let's face it, is likely) he'll still paint (for example), and he DID just release a fascinating new album called Cellophane Memories.

"[Migraine] means a lot to me. It's one of the first songs Josh and I ever played together. […] To be able to feel confident enough in a friendship, to show someone a song like this, was one of the many reasons why I knew I just couldn't be in a band with anyone else." — Tyler Joseph (2019)

"Home is a weird concept for me. I feel like I have a house full of stuff, which is completety different. The idea of a home seems kind of foreign [to me] these days. For me, home is pretty much wherever I'm hanging out with Tyler." — Josh Dun (TOBITW)

"My true best friend, he's a perfect person, the yin to my yang when it comes to all things life. I introduce to you my very favorite person in the world: Josh Dun." — Tyler Joseph (2020)

"Nine years ago today, I started playing in a band with Tyler. The portion of the band's agreement that I contributed [with] all those years ago [was] 'If i’m gonna be famous for something, I wanna be famous for loving you.' [It] still holds true today." — Josh Dun (2020)

Easy to forget that Jaal IS living his fantasy of "hot aliens come knocking at your door to whisk you away on space adventures in their technologically advanced alien ship"

Like we're the aliens this time around, coming to his home planet, getting him on a spaceship with a variety of hot aliens. In a single day, Jaal's life took a turn for the harem anime protagonist road.

This is a full on monsterfucking fetish to him, we are the monsters he wants to fuck.

And he's an alien enthusiast. He was writing "alien x reader" on angaran Wattpad since he was a teen.

MEAN GIRL MOTIVATION  

Regina George is one of the most iconic and misunderstood female villains of all time. 

One question reminds: is she really a mean girl?

No doubt we have a mean girl inside of all – but it's Regina’s self assured attitude that makes her stand out from all the rest.

Being a product of the early 2000s– the character of Regina has captivated me for years.

Mostly, her ability to control herself; and everyone around her. 

This is not a column for manipulation and bullying others – rather doing it to yourself.

I always admired Regina’s ability to flip any situation into her own favor.

She uses personal challenges, and her own raw emotions to regain control.

Regina is constantly turning lemons into lemonade: 

Bra Situation

Remember when Cady, Damian, and Janis were plotting against Regina; and the girls destroyed Regina’s top exposing her bra in an attempt to embarrass Regina in front of the whole school– 

But what does our queen bee do? Struts her stuff.

Regina doesn’t spend 1 second harping over the attack on her; instead she uses it to make her own fashion statement that influences everyone around her.

She acts as if the rips and cuts were purposeful; and through false confidence she continued to win the attention, and affection of others. 

2. Turning the Book on Herself

Nearing the climax, Regina is betrayed by all those around her, and in an attempt to regain control over her social status – Regina turns the burn book on herself – proving once again her ability to redirect every situation into her favor.

Yes, the burn book is a shitty thing. 

But when Regina was at risk to being exposed;

she knew exactly how to play her cards.

Regina was always 2 steps ahead~

Already prepared for what she would do if she was at risk of being exposed. 

Although it may not have given her the desired outcome; later being hit by a bus– but it kept her social status in check – which is what she was fighting for the entire time.

3. Flowers at Prom

Remember when Regina got hit by a bus, broke her spine, and still managed to be one of the most beautiful girls at the Spring Fling? Yeah she did that. My admiration for her character is strong with this one. I adore Regina’s Spring Fling dress. Despite gaining weight, losing her friends, and getting run over – Regina turned out. 

Regina’s decorating her back-brace will live rent-free in my mind for decades. Regina used what she already had – her looks, and her personal style.

She NEVER let a bump in the road slow her down.

She wasn’t going to let anything stop her from going to the dance. 

She showed up with flowers in her brace and a smile on her face.

And we ♡ her for that!

4. Anger into Motivation 

Throughout the entire movie Regina and the girls are on a journey of self realization and acceptance. By the end of the movie – the cliques disband and the girls branch out into new ventures including

Regina who uses her pent up aggression to become a star athlete. Again, redirecting her anger and frustration onto something that will project herself forward. No longer held back by friendship or relationship drama – Regina is free to express herself and let off steam. She is set free by her redirection. Regina breaks the cycle by finding a hobby that allows her to relieve stress and feel validated by her success instead of drowning in her old clique. 

5. Mindset

I just came across this video TODAY! it definitely goes into detail of Regina's ability to loved -- and feared; and all the things that make her a true IT GIRL
