  • Men, it’s okay to care about your skin. It’s not feminine, it’s human. If your answer to this question was ‘I shower’ or something else snarky you may want to consider looking up simple skincare routines for people your age and skin type. Just a tiny bit of attention to your skin can do so much for not just for how it looks and feels now, but for the difference it can make compounded through the years. Of enough soapboxing.

    This ~30 lady’s routine:

    I use a non alcohol toner in the morning followed by Kiehl’s moisturizer.

    In the evening I use a daily enzyme face wash, hyaluronic acid serum, and the daily moisturizer.

    I rarely see the sun, I never wear makeup. When I did those things woooo boy were there more steps.

    PSA consider using a daily SPF moisturizer. I promise it doesn’t feel like that crappy beach sun block. Give it a try, skin cancer is no joke. Fuck I’m on my soapbox again.


  • Yo it’s good to take care of your skin, and it’s good to do things that make you feel good. I used to do an intense Korean skincare routine but since COVID I don’t really leave home so I’ve cut it down to almost three steps. Easy peasy if you never see the sun and don’t wear makeup nor have a medical condition.

    I am gonna have to check some of these out though. I can’t out-hermit age lol














  • My dad told me to eat salads and lose weight when I was a little kid. I will never forget. Please don’t shame her, weight and appearances are so touchy but criticizing every bite I ate only fucked me up. I was chubby, I still consider myself the same proportional level of chubby as when I was a kid. I have yoyo dieted my whole life and when I see him I still just push food around my plate.

    The one great thing I remember about my childhood was driving long distances the two of us. He would often need to drive a few hours out of town to pick stuff up for work, and I would sit in the passengers seat with one of those huge map books and I would navigate us there. It was a ton of fun just doing mini road trips once or twice a month.

    I also went to conventions related to his profession, the topic was boring but conventions of any type inevitably have loads of candy dishes. Just doing things together the two of us felt special.
