People keep asking me on my livestream, what my Special Elixir is.
Here is how I make it. I joke that it’s what keeps me alive, but it really does.

Skincare & Bathroom Stuff
Zero Sebum. Setting Powder. (~$9)
Review:
I use this for my make-up, since I have sensitive and acne prone skin.
Really helps with any acne that is “weeping”.
Somewhat difficult to get the powder out, but just need to develop a good “shaking” technique. 😁
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil (~$17)
Review:
Double cleanse has been the single best thing added to my skincare routine bar none
This is the one I use (I am sure there are others just as good)
I like the pump, makes for easy dispensing
Bottle tends to last me 2-3 months
NuDerma High Frequency Wand. Argon + Neon. (~$99-159)
Review:
First, wait for this to go on lightning sale. Happens pretty regularly. It will cost $99 instead of $150-170.
I feel like this really breaks up stuff in my face. Especially in my muscles.
It’s known to be good for anti-bacterial. Helps promote blood flow (e.g. in the hair as well) and also manages inflammation.
I use this daily, with my oil cleanser. That is MY personal routine. Please everyone, always do what works best for YOUR body.
You know you best.
Livaclean - Hypochlorous Acid Spray for Face & Body (~$14)
Review:
I spray this on my face first thing after I finish washing it.
Supposed to help with Bacteria (which is important with my cystic acne)
Great to use before Toner
Livaclean - Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches, Box of 272 all sizes (~$10)
Review:
1st. these bad boys have Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree Oil and Calendula Oil. They rock. and attack.
2nd. I swear, if you leave these on over night, it helps with scar fading somewhat.
3rd, you get daytime (invisible), nighttime, Large strips and extra large surface area patches.
I love using these. Great bang for your buck.
Saturday Skin - Rub-A-Dub Refining Peel Gel Facial Exfoliant (~$20)
Review:
I love using this gel peel. I have high skin cell turnover, so I need to exfoliate quite a bit.
This only targets dead skin cell, so minimal risk of over exfoliating.
I personally have sensitive skin, and very much like this product.
Dental - Tongue Scraper (~$9)
Review:
I swear by this thing as part of my dental routine.
Bacteria builds up on your tongue, causing bad breath and other things.
It helps with tongue health overall
And I SWEAR it helps with my acid reflux (though no idea why, but when I stop it gets worse. 🤷🏻♀️)
Kitchen Stuff
Simply Modern, 28 oz Stainless Steel Tumbler with Straw.
Pros:
Slim and Tall. Fits in most cup holders. Easy to hold, even with my tiny hands.
Barely leaks if you knock it over. Great for clumsy me.
Ice cubes at night, are still ice cubes in the morning.
IT DOES NOT SWEAT!
I’ve been using mine for several years now. Keep them clean, and they will last you.
Bowls with handles & Lid, Set of Two (~$20)
Review:
I like bowls. I really like bowls with handles. And lids.
Leftovers? Add the lid and in the fridge.
Taking out of the microwave? Good thing it has a handle.
Butter fingers? Good thing it has a handle. Nuff said. 😁
Review:
I use this to help pour my coffee into my coffee ice cube trays
It’s also good for filling up anything with very small openings (e.g. My steam cleaner has the tiniest hole, to fill with distilled water)
I’ve had the same one several years now.
2-Tier Over the sink Dish draying rack (~$110)
Review:
This has single handedly saved my counter space. This one specifically has two tiers, extra drying space
The racks are the perfect depth, to not hit your head and feel claustrophobic while doing dishes.
I have the silver one, which I think helps brighten up the area a bit
Also has a spot to dry knives. I also like to hang my straw cleaners and other brushes from the hooks
Splatter Screen / Grease Protector for Frying Pan (~$25)
Review:
So you can get one of these for as cheap as $12 on Amazon I think, but this one DOES have a few perks I like.
Dishwasher safe. Nuff said.
The screen is centered in the middle, allowing grease to “escape” through the middle, and prevent side splashing onto the stove.
Handle is removeable.
I swear by Grease protectors, keep my kitchen so much cleaner.
Health Stuff
ProtiDIET - Peach Mango Protein Shake, Pack of 7 (~$15)
Review:
70 cal. 15g of Collagen Based Protein.
Literally the only protein shake I can tolerate. It’s always a texture thing. 🙄
This is what I use every day and in my special elixir. (Though I usually buy in bulk from a different website)
Beister - Compression Stockings, Extra Tall (~$26)
Review:
Oh my god! I love these things. Cannot emphasize enough how much I love these things.
Warmer than tights, so no freezing in the winter. And more durable, less likely to run. (I wash these plenty times over, still solid)
Going to the bathroom? No belly shimmy pantyhose dance nonsense! And no pantyhose tummy pinch!
Great for wearing with Skirts & dresses. OR for athletic stuff in the winter. (Some outfits shorts be TINY!)
Work & Cat Stuff
Work Headset.
Review:
USB Dongle, no having to fight Bluetooth connections, but still wireless.
Mic, can be flipped up (mutes) and down (unmute). Bonus: Doesn’t show you as muted in Teams. Saves me when my mouth runs away from me.
Lightweight and open ear. Minimal headset fatigue. Still able to hear surroundings.
Keyboard & Mouse
Review:
Wired, no lag
Takes a little getting used to, but definitely helps with my wrist pain
Wired Ergonomic PERIBOARD-512B
Turbo Scratcher, Cat Scratching Pad with Ball.
Review:
My Cats love this. (And like very few toys. Mostly trash. They are trash babies)
Do need to replace the inside cardboard every few months. (Link to replacement pads below)
Specially fun if you spray or sprinkle catnip on it (If your kitty is in to that)
Do need to occasionally “dump” out the shredded cardboard into the trash can
Cats Main Laser Pointer. (Yes they have multiple. See links below)
Review:
Seems to be truly random
Runs multiple times (without me having to turn back on).
Does burn through the battery quickly, but it’s a USB-C charge.
Review:
Battery lasts longer, since it doesn’t auto turn on periodically.
USB-Micro charge (no batteries, but not USB-C)
Not true random (But my Tuxedo cat, does seem to like this one better for some reason)
New Laser Pointer. No review yet.
Thoughts based on pictures:
They do like wobble things they can bat. Especially with feathers.
USB-C Charge
(Supposedly) True random
Catnip feature (which my cats LOVE.)
