My current skincare routine

I’ve always had problematic skin.  As a teenager, and well into adulthood, I struggled with acne, and sensitive skin that’s dry and oily all at once (side note: if you think you have combination skin, look up dehydrated skin and see if that sounds more like you. Life. Changing. Information.) Continue reading “My current skincare routine” →

I’m sure I’m not the only parent who skips lunch more often than not, or is guilty of scarfing down a couple handfuls of cheddar bunnies and calling it a meal.  To avoid existing entirely off of children’s snack foods, however, I do have a couple go-to lunches I never seem to tire of.

Minor Minimalism

Minor Minimalism

This post is the first in a series dedicated to our adventures in tidying up, paring down, and better enjoying our home (and life).

Katie Hampton

Katie Hampton is a writer, mother, partner, and PTSD survivor. She grew up riding horses in the Arizona desert, sucked inside a book, and elaborately fantasizing about being watched by a hidden audience (a la Truman show). These days you can find her crying every time she has to pick out a birthday card, making a lot of lists, and watching Wes Anderson movies on repeat. She lives outside of Tucson, AZ (by way of the Bay Area) with her husband and two children.

I want to remember today
When you stress-purchase a custom “FuckTrump” bendy straw on January 6 and it arrives on Inauguration Day 🇺🇸

Do it yourself.
