Maybe it’s because many of you, Dear Readers, are vacationing this month (influx of questions is slower than usual), and many of my trusted resources are also vacationing (responses to queries are taking longer than usual), but I struggled to find a compelling subject for you this week. So I thought (vacation on the mind) why not offer an amusement park version of HNTFUYF?

Stop by the Believe It or Not Pavilion for a Bucketful of True Facts to tickle your fancies! Wander over to the Bearded Lady to gape at her unlikely list of Excellent Things I Would Buy at Sephora! Finally, have a quick peek at The Frankenstein Arm, courtesy of yours truly’s latest skin cancer surgery, which will have you reapplying SPF without delay. Don’t forget to keep yourself well-hydrated and wear a hat!

A reminder that HNTFUYF is a payola-free zone. I get no cut from sales when I mention a product. I share this so you know my recommendations are offered without obligation. The beauty portion of this post sits quivering with excitement behind a paywall, waiting for you to discover it.
