Close-Up of the Helix Nebula
This cropped version of the Helix Nebula mosaic shows cometary-filaments embedded along a portion of the inner rim of the nebula’s red and blue gas ring. At a distance of 650 light-years, the Helix is one of the nearest planetary nebulae to Earth.

my teeny journal pages … seriously need to get some scans done bc my hands are gross
lately i’ve been watching some old Sex And The City episodes and i’m inspired by Carrie’s style…has enough time passed for the late 90′s/early 2000′s style to seem cool again?

🌱 the ordinary: $7.90/30 ml, 10% AzA, no frills
feels smooth and velvety on the skin and creates a smoothened, matte finish that looks quite pretty — until you try to layer more skincare or makeup on top, that is, and it starts to roll up. the pilling made me use it only as my last step of my evening routine, but the decrease in redness it helped me achieve was almost instantaneous, and it also faded my hyperpigmentation spots. that price is unbeatable, but i wish the formulation was less annoying.
🌱 paula’s choice: $36.00/30 ml, 10% AzA, also features salicylic acid, adenosine, licorice root extract, allantoin, bisabolol.
more expensive, more lightweight, with an ingredient list that features more interesting actives — and yet the PC AzA leaves my skin slightly less nourished, and i’ve seen less of a drastic reduction in redness, though it does effectively target hyperpigmentation. it does not roll up under other products, either.
it’s really hard to choose, but based on price and results, i’ll go with the ordinary as my winner — i use azelaic acid in my evening routine, anyway, and the simpler formulation is less irritating to my skin!
you’ll love it it if… you’re prone to redness, rosacea, acne, hyperpigmentation and/or broken capillaries.
