@HusbandsWifey - Hi, to you and Bella (who is adorable!) from Linus, Remi, and me. Linus (left) & Remi (right) 

OMGosh, @greeneyedgirl107 , you know I love the cat lights! 🐱 They're all great! Maybe I'll stop by Michael's even though I've officially started my no/low buy.

12/25: Best ways to keep warm figuratively and literally. - One or more of my cats laying on my lap (their little bodies are like a furnace!).- An afghan I crocheted.- Hot chocolate. 12/26: Who's ready to do some more shopping? Not really. I did look at Sephora's current sale...just in case. This is when I start my no/low buy, usually until Sephora's spring sale. Any returns in particular? No. 12/27: How to keep the spirit of the season going? I think it should be year long. Why is being nice seasonal? We should be following the Golden Rule. We can teach our children and lead by example. Others will see our actions, and it may encourage others to do the same.

This will be my second year in a row skipping the lucky bag.

Decmber 2025 FoilsMonth-to-Date: 3Year-to-Date: 83 🙌Last set of foils for the 2025, and we've got 3 this month. 😐 L'Oréal Professionnel Mini Metal Detox Anti-Breakage Hair Oil 1.04 fl oz/30 ml was alright. I have a feeling that the consistency of my sample may have been compromised by the weather or it having sat unused (and maybe not in the best of conditions) for longer than ideal, or, possibly a combination of both factors. It was goopier than I expected an oil to be. That said, I was able to thin it out a little from the friction and warmth created by rubbing the product between my palms but it was still more viscous than I expected from a hair oil. I had 2 other foils of this product but having been inspired by @ather's decluttering efforts, I put added them to a Ziploc bag full of hair products that will be dropped off at a local women's shelter next week. 😘 Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation x2, like the concealer in the line, is a good one for me, which came as a surprise because I've not had much luck in the past with shade matching when it come to YSL foundations. I was able to get by with a couple of shades in the sample packet. This is a very long-wearing, (veeery) FULL coverage foundation. I'm not sure I have a true full coverage foundation in my collection - most medium coverage foundations I find give me full coverage (or what I would consider full coverage) so that's usually the most amount of coverage I typically go. That said, I do like how this wears and would consider picking up a full size of the foundation. I will, however, hold off on even considering it until I use up my current medium coverage foundation (which I'm tentatively planning to include in my Shop Your Stash Challenge: Winter 2025 - 2026; final lineup to be posted around the 30th of December); even then, I may elect to just go for the concealer in this All Hours collection (a the foil from last month) which is also full coverage. If I do pick up a full size of this (and/or the concealer from the collection, I'll include that tally @ather in my 2026 count of new-to-me products purchased after using a foil sample even though I finished the sample in 2025).

SOOO my hair colors are currently fading, but I thought I would snap and share a photo of its current status my goal initially was to try two beta fish colors and for a while they complimented each other but the smoky color near my shoulders was a tad too light and faded more quickly then the orange I'm thinking I can darken that up a bit when I touch it up.
