I love a brooch for closing a neckerchief instead of tying it. Big estate sale rings work too.

Interested in a follow up on the anit-aging patches, I keep getting Frownies ads and I'm kind of curious about those too!

Oh! So I've actually been sleeping a few nights a week in https://thenaturalfaces.com/products/japanese-face-tape-original - this tape just on my forehead after putting on my skincare. The woman sort of has very long videos and intricate ways of taping her face that feel sort of..........crazy. But I sleep with my face buried into my pillow and always have this crazy line when I wake up (even with botox that I get just in my 11s) and when I sleep with the tape on, I don't have it. TBH aging is weird and I am trying to enter it with a sense of humor (despite deep fears and all the normal woman stuff). This tape feels affordable and sane. Worth trying if you're curious and not expensive. No breakouts either. I basically just cut it into a triangle and plop it on my forehead. Very easy. All of this is to say: you're perfect as you are, but if you want to try something, this is a good option!

I still can’t believe I had even this small ripple of impact. I’m so touched. And your broaches are incredible!! May your trip be full of ease!

Nothing is more fun than finding a stash of old brooches at an antique store….
