There are so many new skin care thingys and I go whaaat? Like I don't even know what some of these things are for! I'll stick to just using toner, eye cream and skin cream (and maybe a little oil if it's cold).

I'm sick of American politicians trying to blame videogames for gun violence instead of their insane gun culture. Playing a game doesn't mean you can do it in real life. It's an obvious attempt to scapegoat that a lot of idiots will fall for.

Your skin care routine sounds like a dream :D I have oily, acne-prone skin so I have to work to make skin look remotely decent. Work stress hasn't helped.

My skin is a bit oily but the things I have tried only work if you stay really still in cool conditions and not worth the price/effort.

I'm using a beauty water (as a makeup remover), cleanser, toner, essence, serum and moisturizer and eye cream but my routine takes about 10 mins in total. I've been doing this Home Spa routine thing by this Korean brand called Huxley and it's been pretty good so far.

Other FFF:

I've got my tickets to Japan and hotels booked! I've got free accommodation in Tokyo, so that saves me quite a lot of money. And I've got my next trip planned - Italy, maybe in October/November :D

Lucky you, will you be going to Kyoto too?

I know visiting America isn't particularly appealing these days, but if you're planning a trip to the West/Best Coast, you're more than welcome to stay at my place if you're in LA! Consider this an open invitation. :)

Omg late post is late! Yeah, I'm going to Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukuoka, in addition to Tokyo. So yeah, it's a long trip :D

With regards to daily skin care:
I consider it a job well done if can say that I applied sunscreen to my face, neck and decolletage in the morning and washed my face before bed. I keep it simple -- cleanser, moisturizer, coconut oil when my face feels dry, sunscreen sometimes, and serum sometimes if there are dark spots. Also, I only wear makeup when I have to meet with clients (to look older as I have perma-baby face) or will be enjoying a night out on the town. Am pretty low maintenance or lazy, however you want to look at it.

With regards to other minutiae in my life:
Work has been hectic with travel and deadlines in recent weeks, so I've been leaning more and more on the gym to decompress and zone out. This Reddit thread about having pet names for gym strangers popped up in my feed yesterday and it dawned on me that I have unwittingly given a middle-aged regular at my gym a nickname. Have seen him about for years, but in recent months our gym schedules have synced and I began to notice that he always wore a blue shirt. I lazily ( ... )

Your story reminds me of this fun book called The Hating Game. Have you read it?

Also - I forgot to ask, but are you on IG? Are you comfortable with sharing your handle with me so I can follow you?

Oooo, adding that book to my next round of purchases from Amazon.

I'll DM you my Insta handle, but warning, it's hella boring, mostly use it to remember gigs I attend, lol.
