No BS Bulletin 27
Twenty-Seven
Welcome to Issue 27 of the No BS Beauty Bulletin!
We’re excited to bring you this week’s updates, even though it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster on our end. With the house getting a much-needed facelift, it was a noisy week full of ladders and paint, which Lincoln did not appreciate! He stuck close to my side, a little wary of all the commotion, while Ike managed to sleep through most of the chaos. Gabby, on the other hand, had energy to spare, zooming around Dad’s house like she was training for a marathon!
On a more exhilarating note, I decided to go skydiving again this week! The thrill of the jump and the rush of adrenaline were just what I needed to shake things up. There's nothing quite like the feeling of free-falling through the sky to remind you how amazing life can be. It’s definitely an experience that never gets old!
In this issue, we’ve got a roundup of the latest beauty news, including TikTok’s massive influence on the beauty industry and some key skincare tips you won’t want to miss. Plus, find out what I’ve been adding to my beauty stash this week, and see why Cosrx is our winner of the week. Spoiler: it’s a brand worth checking out!
We’ve also got a new giveaway winner to announce—congratulations to Wanda L.! Make sure to check your email for details on how to claim your prize. And a gentle nudge to last week’s winner, Melissa W.: you’ve got one more week to get in touch before we pick a new winner!
Let’s dive in and see what’s new in the beauty world this week!
Joke of the Week:
Q: Why did the sunscreen file a lawsuit?
A: It was tired of being rubbed the wrong way!

About the Dogs
The dogs (mostly Lincoln) have had a stressful week. Ike was luckily able to sleep through most of the week. This week we (meaning mostly cameraman) painted and refinished the outside of our house. Honestly, it has needed this since we moved in but… so many other things to do as well! Lincoln was not a fan of any of this- especially the ladders and loud noise. He spent most of the week right by my side or at the most one inch away.
Poor Lincoln, but happy new house! Maybe someday I’ll finally get my bathroom done… but I’m going to give Cameraman at least a week break between projects, lol! Gabby has been really energetic this week taking dozens of laps around dad’s house, even sprinting!

Cosrx has created dozens of amazing, affordable, and cruelty free products since its creation in 2013 by Jun Sang Hun. I love having the option to try products that are so affordable and unique! Cosrx is most known for its Snail Cream, but it also has many other amazing products that are worth checking out and won’t break your bank, either.

Loser of the Week - Dirty Towels
For some people reusing towels is just fine. For others it can be a mistake. These days we know more about bacteria than we did a long time ago. We also know more about the microbiome and what causes acne. For some people it might be worth checking out disposable and biodegrading towels if finding a clean towel after every wash is a challenge. So much bacteria gets spread on clothes, sheets, pillowcases, and towels keeping these clean and fresh can be extremely beneficial.
Some that I’ve tried and are worth checking out are below:
