Aro/ace mess
I haven't updated this journal in a long time because I was supposed to start using another one under my real name more often. But there's some personal stuff that I'd rather not have, for example, my potential future employers read, so... Hi LJ?
Maybe a couple of years ago now I finally came to the conclusion that I'm asexual - more specifically ( Read more... ) -
No longer self-helped
How strange that the moment I got 'back in business' with a work contract at the university that allowed me to properly continue research activities, I seemed to lose the need for life-coaching/self-help materials. Having tangible goals and responsibilities works wonders.

I mainly use Amy's (BodyFit by Amy) YouTube exercise videos. I KNOW, I KNOW, I used to be one ( Read more... ) -

Skin care & make-up experiment: Day 5 update
Just a slight update that my skin so far generally feels better, but doesn't look better, kind of like I expected. I have, however, got these tiny spots especially around my nose after starting the experiment which makes me think that one of the products is not after all oily-skin friendly. I guess what I'm going to try now for a day or so is ( Read more... ) -
Skin care & make-up experiment: the shopping is done(?)
I am back from Tokyo and I was almost able to buy everything I wanted/needed.
First, some 'accessories':

Skin care & make-up experiment: from zero to daily beast
What happens when someone who has virtually no skin care routine and wears no make-up starts following a daily (Japan-inspired) routine and experiments with make-up? I aim to find out! Booyah ( Read more... )
