DIY dud? Not to be Dramatic…

I like it and IDK if I like it. It speaks to me and doesn’t. I was kind of excited to see this come to life but now that it did…I’m not sure I like it ENOUGH. I envisioned the sticks standing firmly in place but they actually are a little wobbly. Then I thought I would like the edges not having the uniformity. Only what I mean? 😆🤭 I honestly don’t want to waste resources to do it over. Even though it would only cost $6 and about 30 minutes. Anyone else done a DIY and felt like it wasn’t that great?

I can’t even lie, I’ve been *okay* with my skin care routine compared to my hair care routine 🙃 I put a lot of emphasis on caring for my hair and just not as much into my skin BUT that changes now. I’m really into diy skin care as 1. I believe in less is more. 2. it helps me save money.
