We are now officially in Spring. It seems like a great time to try new skin care routines at home. After using the new night serum last month and seeing my smiling line wrinkles become a little bit less visible, I am motivated to try a new skin care product that might give my dry skin the hydration it thirsts for.
Here are some of the things I am doing in May.
New Nails
I used to get my gel nails done in the salon every four weeks in the past year. It has been two months since my last gel nails appointment. I am not quite used to seeing my nails without any colors.
I bought some new regular nail polish last week and I am ready to keep up with the nail color work myself until I can get to my next appointment.

Baking
There’s a shortage for baking yeast right now, because more people are baking at home now. Since I am short of yeast, I am switching from making bread to baking cake. This will cover my daily breakfast with my morning coffee.

New Entertainment
A few months ago Nintendo released a new Switch game, called Animal Crossing New Horizons. My brother’s family has been playing this while they are staying home. They’ve been telling me how great the Animal Crossing game is and they bought me the game, so I can join them for the family fun. Both the new game console and game will arrive in the next few days. I can’t wait to start to play.

New Beauty
Charlotte Tuilbury is one of my favorite makeup artists. I’ve been using her Magic Cream as makeup primer and Multi-Miracle Glow Cleanser, Mask, and Balm as night mask in the past two years. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Charlotte Tuilbury’s Magic Night Cream and I plan to use it as my night moisturizer this month to see if it’s as hydrating as it advertises.

Home Improvement
I never pictured myself as a capable home improvement person. However, I recently managed to fix a leakage in my toilet tank myself vs. hiring a plummet who gave me an estimate of $500. The cost of fixing it myself was $8 for the replacement parts and a couple hours of my time. I now have a functional toilet, and I also gained some confidence with fixing minor problems at home.
I just discovered there’s a minor flushing issue with another toilet at home. My plan for this month is to buy parts and try to fix it myself. It’s going to be a fun challenge while staying at home.
