Someone at Home Depot recommended a new handheld vacuum and it’s wonderful.

I impulse bought it because the other customer had such good things to say about the brand. I needed a new handheld vacuum to clean my car. Turns out, the box had all sorts of attachments, including one for floors and I just vacuumed my entire house without having to bring out the corded canister vacuum. Pretty stoked about this.

Looking for a mechanic for an ‘86 Landcruiser imported from Japan

My husband has called around and several shops have said they won’t work on it.

He’s thinking the starter relay is bad. Super cool vehicle, wanting to keep it in good condition.

Spain and Portugal Itinerary, drop Ronda?

Worried that four cities in 14 days is too many, but it seems like a shame to cut any one of them. Days 6 and 8 are travel-heavy.

Flights in and out of Madrid are already booked, otherwise I’d entertain flying home from another city.

Husband suggested skipping Portugal, I’m having trouble imagining skipping it when it’s just right there. 😂

This will be in the fall, so not worried about crowds or heat. We’re not beach lounging people, we want to hike/kayak and eat and walk around towns and cities. We like little museums, I’ll do some shopping.

Any insight is appreciated.

Days 1–3: Madrid, Spain, arrive early morning.

Day 4: Madrid → Valencia

  • Travel by train (2 hour, 10-minute journey)
  • Overnight in Valencia

Day 5: Valencia

  • River rafting day trip to Montanejos/Mijares River (75-minute drive)
  • Overnight in Valencia

Day 6: Valencia to Ronda

  • Direct train to Málaga (approximately 7 hours)
  • Alternative option: flight from Valencia (VLC) to Malaga (AGP) 1.5 hour
  • Pick up rental car in Málaga by 4pm
  • Drive to Ronda (about 1.5–2 hours)
  • Arrive in Ronda early evening

Day 7: Ronda, Spain

  • Full day based in Ronda

Day 8: Early flight to Lisbon

  • Morning drive (1.5 hours) to Málaga (AGP) airport.
  • Return rental car in Malaga
  • Late morning/early afternoon flight to Lisbon, approximately 1-hour flight
  • Arrive in Lisbon before dinner

Days 9-13: Lisbon, Portugal

  • Extended stay in Lisbon

Day 14: Lisbon → Madrid

  • Mid-day flight back to Madrid, 90-minute flight, stay overnight in Madrid

Best Suited For:
Oily, combination, acne-prone, and redness-prone skin

Finish:
Satin-matte

My Experience:

Just a quick recap of my skin type and environment. I have oily combination skin, mainly in my T-zone area. If I layer my skin too heavily, I usually wake up with tiny whiteheads. I do get the occasional pimple, but most of my issues come from products feeling too heavy or occlusive on my skin.

I also live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, so the climate is extremely humid, hot, and wet this time of year.

I used this sunscreen for about a week and honestly enjoyed it a lot.

The consistency is VERY fluid. Unlike the Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel, you’re not really blending out a white cast, you’re just blending in the product itself. The formula is pretty transparent right from the start and leaves absolutely no white cast on me during the application.

It dries down to a satin-matte finish. If you lean dry, I highly suggest using your regular moisturizer underneath and letting it fully set before applying this sunscreen. If you’re super oily, you could honestly skip moisturizer entirely or just use a lightweight essence underneath.

I tested it both ways:
• by itself as my moisturizer
• with a lightweight essence underneath

The drier areas of my face definitely felt the matte finish more, while my oilier areas barely felt anything at all. When paired with an essence, it gave my skin a subtle “glow from within” look while still maintaining that satin finish. The matte feel also became less noticeable and more balanced overall.

It also plays REALLY well with makeup. I wear a decent amount of makeup and had zero pilling issues whatsoever. No breakouts either.

The formula feels extremely lightweight and elegant both during application and throughout the day. Out of all the Korean sunscreens I’ve tried, this is one I would absolutely repurchase again. Honestly, if I could only pick one Korean sunscreen to keep using, this would probably be it.

Also, no stingy eyes.

Only downside for some people: it is not water resistant.

Highly recommend if you’re interested in trying it.

The map will be live tomorrow, please keep an eye out for neighbors in need. Not just those on the street, but folks who don’t have working AC or households that can’t afford a hefty utility bill.
