I’ve been slowly trying to transition to more secondhand items over the past year and it has been difficult to know where to start or how to find good quality/brands that I like. These tips are so helpful and I appreciate the links for sellers you or a friend have used!
I have been doing the same, and it’s been a long slow process over 18 months and I feel like I keep learning as I go! I think we’re all just doing the best we can.
I have a question/idea for a future newsletter! I am easing my way back to using a retinol after a 6 year baby break! I am starting with Differin and usually doing the sandwich method with Prequel barrier lotion. Curious about how much irritation is normal, how many days in a row I should use it before a break, and how to include other acids/exfoliators in my routine. Would love your insight!!
That is very interesting info that buying vintage in Japan is safer to elsewhere - i’ll hopefully be in Japan next year and will definitely visit a couple of vintage stores!
I’m hoping to get there in about five years lol I think there is some great content online around best places to buy luxury resale goods in Japan! Definitely check it out before you go.
Lots of good information here! Thank you for sharing, Devan. Think I purchased the same ILIA lip crayon, mentioned on IG, looking forward to its arrival! Also, love your book content!
I really liked it! Went to Trader Joe’s, picked up some of their cottage cheese and a jarred bruschetta sauce. The fresh one was pretty close to the expiration date.
I’m also on a journey to find my style, and following fashionfixmn has been great along the way! She’s very big on having less that you can do more with - that volume does not equal variety. I’ve never thought of checking eBay for secondhand bags, I can’t wait to browse those sellers!
I feel that! Our weather has been so back and forth I really have to stop and listen to my skin and see what it needs. I can’t wait for it to just switch over so I don’t have to think lol

I used to be an EBay girlie but it fell off my radar - this is inspiring me to click around again 👀

I’m so glad you like! I just grabbed the two Ilia shades I was eyeing and I can’t wait to try them! Let me know what you think of it when you try it.
On a side note, after seeing your posts with cottage cheese on toast, I finally tried it! 😂
And what did you think?!

Loving the tips about shopping eBay. I know there is so much opportunity, but I get easily overwhelmed lol
Narrowing it down to a few sellers really helps me with the overwhelm!! lol but I so get it, there is just so much on there.
Really appreciate your vintage tips and book recs. I’m in the middle of Olga Dies Dreaming and loving it so far!
Adding this to my TBR! Thanks for sharing!! <3

I’m going to follow— I love that! I agree that the more I have the more I’m overwhelmed by how to style/what to wear.
I normally switch up my moisturizers for summer but I feel like I haven't been able to do that yet, still too dry on the daily!
