Theme: Lonestar reminds me of freedom because it brings me back to the wide open plains of New Mexico. There's nothing quite like the sense of freedom you get when it feels like you have the desert to yourself. I miss living there dearly.

Daily challenge: I was unable to get a picture or video because I'm squeezing a shave in while at a rental cabin with friends. I did shave without a mirror, and it was not as bad as I expected, though it felt weird. Pretty good results overall, though.

$SELFCARE - Took a long weekend this weekend to spend some time with friends I don't get to see often.

$FOF - The sage, hay, and grass in Lonestar move naturally into the dirt, ozone, and petrichor in Summer Storm. It felt like getting caught in an afternoon thunderstorm in the desert. Just lovely.
