truthfully i got into this because i watched spa asmr videos and i had to experience it myself.
it can be kinda $$$ but i love all the gadgets and creams and things they do to my face so that i come out looking like the teletubbies sun baby. worth it!!

The only face I look at more than my boyfriendās these days is my own. In the mirror, on Zoom, in my selfie cameras. Like fermenting or trying a new format of the infamous ādistanced hangā, skincare is an experiment. Babyfacial is my weekly ritual in vanity. It tingles, it burns, and a day later my top layer of skin flakes off. But it leaves me glowing and feeling productive.

Okay, so I fell into the tik tok trap of trying to look like a teenager for as long as possible, and I told my dermatologist to prescribe me retinol. I used it, like three nights a week, and then got so obsessed with the false belief I had in my head that it was making me like a doll, I was using it almost night...yikes. But THEN, I went to a facialist and the second I walked in she was like ā¦.āyouāre using retinol, arenāt you?ā and she told me it was irritating my skin and that I should stop immediately. She told me to stop with all the serums, the at home peels, the 200$ lotion, and instead wash my face with Kloraneās micellar blue cornflower waterā¦random lol. And to use Aveneās Cicalfate+ cream by pressing it, not rubbing it, into my face over and over again. Iāve never had a more minimal skincare regime in my life, of course I still use SPF every morning, but stripping back on all the glamorous goops has seriously improved my skin texture and my overall vibe. Also, Iām saving so much money because Iām literally addicted to buying skincare, and now I feel like Iām not allowed to, and I have a weird religious school instilled thing where I donāt really do things iām ānot allowedā to do lol. More on that in my next album.

love love love lentil soup. itās so comforting and also keeps you feeling full and satisfied.
iāve made minor tweaks to the recipe i linked:
- add 2 cloves of minced/pressed garlic after the onions and celery have sweat
- add 1 tsp each of turmeric powder and cumin powder
- use both the zest AND juice of the lemon

for the last few years Iāve booked off work for my birthday and treated myself to a me day. this consists of scheduling a massage or facial (truly the best), splurging on a nice lunch and dessert, and sometimes a movie!
