Mann, this reminded of the time when I was a teen, back when I was just a bit too concerned about my looks. I remember probably around 16 I had dug up some dark circles under my eyes "I was like why me? why at such an young age?"
Then I ended up getting some sort of a roll on gel from Garnier, which was actually targeted towards females I guess, but I said "what the heck, YOU NEED THIS NOWWW" so I got it soon enough and started applying it daily and it did actually help I'd say, but nothing too impressive.
Fast forward to over a decade, I just couldn't care less about my skin care routine or my looks, at least when it comes to the things that I can't change. Yes, I do try to keep my diet, exercise and activity on point, that will always be taken care of, quite "religiously", but all these creams and gels, skins care products and routines aren't for me, not at the moment at least.
Even if I do start some sort of a routine, soon enough I just give up, telling myself that I successfully managed to waste a ton of time behind some stupid shit lol.
Well, I'd say your foray into the complicated world of cosmetics went a lot better than mine, at least yours worked and didn't burn your face to a crisp. I'd say you won for sure.
On the caring about looks thing...I try to take some care. I wear hats to keep the sun off my face, or star out of it if possible, and put some moisturiser on most days. I'm not obsessed with it, or vain, just that I like to present my best. I'm not afraid of ageing, or what comes next; death. But I don't want to look like I died, whilst I'm alive. I don't do it for other people, but it makes me feel a little better. It's the same as grooming my beard diligently, ensuring my clothing in cleaned and pressed, keeping my car clean in and out...it's a state of mind for me I guess and it helps me be a better version.
Anyway, I hope you're having a good Saturday in the 'Desh and your weekend is good too.
For me it's a nice shower with some good shower gel and shampoo, bit of facewash and a few sprays of perfumes haha. Of course the beard and hair trimming is there too, but only after every 2 to 4 months. It's all part of a routine, so these things are obviously a must, but all the extras come into the routine only when needed, if things get a bit too "extreme" that is.
I'm doing alright brother, surviving, got the family here and a few relatives have come over as well for the weekend, the good times.
Hopefully you're doing well too brother, living healthy and fit, do take good care of yourself. 💪🥃
Seems like you're in for a good weekend.
I'm not doing much. Might watch some episodes of Black Sails on Netflix. Tomorrow I'm doing some work in the garden, laying some pavers and some otter stuff, then will watch the F1 GP from Suzuka, Japan on TV. Maybe have a snooze also. An easy weekend.
We all watched The Conjuring 2 yesterday, now a bit of lunch is being prepared for an afternoon feast. This week, the coming week and month is going to be quite hectic, it already is to be honest, even a little nap and snooze session isn't enough these days.
We've been house hunting for a while now, and even though this city has a ton buildings and houses, finding a home still isn't the easiest task I'd say. We are looking for a place where we can settle in and get "comfy" for about 3 to 5 years at least, till things settle down over here. The post Covid economy and situation has taken quite the toll on us, so it is surely going to take some time to recover.
Hoping for the best. Cheers brother 🥃🙏
Good times ahead.
I hope you find a house/home that's suitable. I don't know much about the city to be honest, just what I've seen on movies and I think I saw a documentary on it once a long time ago.
Good luck on the house hunting and the weekend ahead.
It's a love-hate relationship most of us have with this city, you can complain all day and still be madly in love with it haha. 💣
