Daisy: SIX FEET UNDER, one of the best series ever and so tongue in cheek. Glad Oliver loved it too, and I for one ,think children need to be alert to all emotions and life/death, so no barbs from me coming your way…enjoy the summer and love the video of “your girl” swimming. I remember discovering that I wrote a size 9 shoe and not an 81/2. I told myself my feet get bigger with age like my ears. Lol Bonnie R.

It's been ages since I last watched SIX FEED UNDER but I think about the final episode kind of a lot! Like HOW did they stick the landing so well???? Sounds like it's time for a rewatch. :)

yessssss, I will keep you posted! I rewatched The Wire this winter and am into the idea of another big, immersive review! (Unlike 6 Feet, the Wire's last season is kind of dud.)

so funny! I was also told I'm a 9.5 when I went to buy Hokas a few years ago. Life changing.

I loved Six Feet Under—and yeah, Nate's hot!

A little thing that's made a difference for me is that I caved and started using retinol. It felt like no matter how much or what type of facial cream I used, my skin looked dry or just off. Now it holds moisture so much better, and it actually looks good. I don't know why I waited so long to try it when so many people sing its praises!

Oh now this is the sort of news I am after! Any specific retinol you are using? Is it prescription or OTC? And yes 🔥 Nate fisher

Right now I'm using Mae Love Moonlight Advanced Retinal Serum. I use it 3-4 times a week. The first serum I used was African Botanics Resurrection Cell Recovery Serum, which is much pricier, and has a tendency to sell out. I think I like the Mae Love serum better.

There's so much info about beginner/intermediate/advanced serums because your skin needs to adjust to it over time—it's kind of a lot to work out! I follow Sarah James for this sort of info because she tries a ton of products, and she has yet to steer me wrong. She has a Substack, but I still check her website for her currently using list: https://whoorl.com/currently-using/

Good luck if you find yourself going down this rabbit hole!

I love this analogy, Daisy! The slightly wrong shoe size is also like a should, or an expectation, that almost makes sense, and so we keep doing it instead of saying, this doesn’t really make sense for me.
