10.10.2024 - Guess it's a Indigo Day
-> 1-pass head shave. Cool and good.
Some soaps are used too rarely by me; HoM Indigo is such a case. While I really love the smokey blueberry scent and like the Tusk base a lot, somehow it's underutilized. Well, today was one of the days were I finally reached for it again and surely, it didn't disappoint.
OAM toner really goes well with a lot of different things tbh, the scent is rather versatile. Coupled with the Phytorelax cream it pushed everything in a sweeter direction, but oh well. Everything still feels nice.
4/5 early shifts done. My new colleagues from the new station are rather nice, surprisingly I get along at least on a superficial basis with almost everyone at my workplace. It definitely was one of my best decisions ever to change jobs in the middle of my retraining. However, I am glad when this week is finally over - early shifts leave me constantly tired and with very low energy.
Indigo is like that for me, too.
