A Pagan Life
It was one of those sunsets where you could make out the shape of everything in the skyline. She sat there on her aunts' porch in her aunt Elizabeth's old rocking chair, sipping iced tea to commemorate the both of them. They were her Secondhand Lions great uncles when she needed them. She even inherited the house from them. Thank goodness there was no mortgage on the house. They'd paid for it outright, leaving Evelyn with only the monthly payments to take care of. Since she was an online journalist, it was easy enough for her to take care of that. They'd each married men who turned out to be not as savory as once thought, divorced them and made a decent sum on the bargain in both cases. They met back up and decided to buy the house together in case they ever needed each other. It had started out like Practical Magic, except there was just her, no sister.

It is the silence of everything that was never said, every word swallowed before it could reach the lips, every thought folded carefully and placed in a drawer that was never meant to be opened. It lives in the space between what a woman feels and what she allows herself to express, in the fraction of a second before she smiles when she does not feel like smiling, in the small daily surrenders so habitual they no longer even register as losses.

Why Your Skincare Routine Is Damaging Your Skin - And How to Fix It
It started with a patch of dry, flaky skin on my cheek that would not go away. I tried a new serum. Then a different moisturizer. Then an exfoliating toner, because I read somewhere that buildup was the problem. Three weeks later, both cheeks were red, burning after I applied anything, and breaking out in places my skin had been clear for years. I had spent more time on my skincare that month than ever before, and my face looked like it was staging a protest.
