I have a fairly simply skincare routine that includes alternating between 2 cleansers, a serum, a day lotion and heavy night cream. Also, frozen cucumber lol. In my 20s I destroyed my skin barrier by never moisturizing, not hydrating properly, and using an abrasive acne wash every day for like 3 years. Just wondering if my skin looks like it could benefit from something else? Also, no matter what I have purple eye bags and I’m afraid they make me look much older and dragged out than I am. Any advice? Thanks ❤️

I’ve been occasionally pruning this plant to achieve a bush shape….but as you can see, the two largest stalks are so bare and leggy. I’m hoping to repot into a wider pot, and then do some kind of chop and prop. But I’m unsure where to cut it?! Near the top of the stalks, under the most mature leaves? Would I then just trim away the rest of the stalk? Help!

Thanks to everyone who shared feedback on my last post!! I’ve since moved the crates off the pavers and on to some grass. I’m going to be moving the whole thing farther from the ledge before I plant, so I can access it on all sides. I’ve added old patio rails to lift everything off the ground as well. For those asking, I put landscape fabric at the bottom of the milk crates for better drainage! I have beets planted, but nothing else will be planted until the end of the month. I’m growing potatoes, arugula, leeks, and carrots as well. Different soil mixes for each. My arugula and leeks have been started inside and are growing great. To those who suggested topping up the milk crates - I will be doing that soon, too! (I know the black pot is only half full, I ran out of soil today lol).

She lost about 50% of her growth, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was even more. First two photos were taken last spring - thriving. Photo 3 is about 4 months after transplant shock, during rapid leaf drop. The final 4 photos were taken today. It’s devastating BUT I still think she looks great - lots of new growth, no more rapid leaf loss, stabilized. I think we’ll get back to her original size and health before too long!!

I’m in Newfoundland, so a later start than most others. Should my crates stay on this concrete or move to the grass or does it matter?!
