Brush, Baby, Brush & A Tiny Heart Thief
🌼 Date: Monday, March 9, 2026
⚡ Energy: Curious, slightly sparkly
💖 Status: Flaky but optimistic
🥰 Outlook: Big changes coming—on my skin and in my heart
So, chemo brain strikes again… but this time, it’s a bright, sparkly kind of idea.
You know how I’ve been waging war against this full-body snow globe situation—arms, legs, face, earlobes, the works? Well, my brain came up with a potentially genius solution: dry brushing. Yes, the very thing people rave about for circulation and glowing skin, apparently. Could it also help me shed this chemo-induced flakiness without turning the living room into a winter wonderland? Only one way to find out.
So I went straight to Amazon, because that’s where all brilliant, slightly desperate ideas go at 2 PM on a Sunday. I ordered myself two brushes: one for my face, and one for my body—because obviously, my face deserves its own special treatment. And guess what, my lovelies? They arrived today.
Cue my inner Tina: wide-eyed, ready to exfoliate like a rock star sanding a guitar. Will these brushes rise to the occasion, or will they just add another layer to the snow globe effect? Stay tuned, because tomorrow, I’ll give you the definitive update on whether these little beauties can save me from looking like a peeling croissant.
But that’s not the only excitement today. Oh no. Today, the universe threw me a tiny little miracle. I was scrolling through a local shelter (because yes, my heart always has room for a four-legged companion), and there she was… the perfect little girl.
She’s six years old, weighs five pounds, and her coloring? Almost identical to our sweet baby girl, Gidget. But it wasn’t just her look—it was her eyes. Those tiny, soulful eyes that seemed to speak directly to my heart. 💗
So tonight, while my brushes wait patiently to show me their magic, I’ll be filling out her adoption application. Please send all the good vibes, positive thoughts, and tiny happy dances you’ve got—because this little heart thief might just be coming home with us.
Between the quest for soft, non-flaky skin and the search for another tiny life to love, today has been a mix of anticipation, hope, and a little bit of sparkle. ✨
Stay tuned, my beauties. Tomorrow, we’ll see whether I’m gliding into smooth skin or just creating another snowstorm, and we’ll also be keeping our fingers crossed for the little girl who already has my heart.
💗 Tina –
One Badass Day at a Time
