Miracle Leggings Are Here!

plus, HNTFUYF-ers' favorite products

Welcome readers, old and new! (If you’re receiving this post twice, I’m sorry; there was a glitch in the rollout this morning.)

Please hit the ❤️ above to read the most fantastic worm-related headline you will ever see.

I serendipitously came across two delicious videos last week.

The first is from a new reader I’m thrilled to introduce you to, as she’s published a book that’s as much fun to read (it’s mentioned in the video) as she is to listen to.

The second video comes from a longtime reader whose bits of wisdom are always helpful.

Needing something uplifting as I listened to U.S. congressional cabinet hearings, I put together a list of the cosmetics (including sunscreen) HNTFUYF-ers recommended in a recent post. It’s long and I didn’t include why you recommended every product—but each one was suggested with an intense passion most often found in the endorsement of a political candidate. Paid subscribers can find it here.

Next, a curious reader wants to know whether a new beauty product trend is actually a test: Is there a sucker born every minute?

HNTFUYF is a payola-free, reader-supported zone. I get no cut from sales when I mention a product. My recommendations are offered without obligation, making HNTFUYF one of the very few places where you can get unadulterated beauty advice. Paying for the work I do here makes that work sustainable.

The beauty Q&A in this post sits quivering with excitement behind a paywall. For full access to all posts and the archives, please become a paid subscriber at the current rate of $40/year. Can’t afford a subscription? Write to me at valeriemonroe@substack.com and I’ll give you a comp.
