The thing is, I love Jodie Whittaker and was so excited for her Doctor. But her companions were so bland. Ugh just super boring. And I couldn't keep up with the lore for some reason. It just didn't hold my interest and I was so sad about it. :(

    This is so real, I swear to god. I joke about how neurotic I am about housework, and my house is always pristine, but still my worst nightmare is someone stopping by unexpectedly. My house can be spick and span and I'll still apologize for the state of it.

    Has anyone tried the On The Rocks flanker for Angels' Share? I love both the original Angels' Share and the Paradis flanker, so I'm intrigued by On The Rocks. If you've tried it, is it well balanced, or is it overly zesty? I like Paradis so much because it brings some sweetness into the mix which I think gives a nice counterbalance. But On The Rocks has citrus notes which will probably do the opposite. If you've tried it let me know your thoughts!

     

    A month or so ago, I was on a quest for a great peach fragrance, and ended up stumbling on 1969 by Histoires de Parfums, which isn't a simple peach fragrance, but does have peach notes. It sounded amazing and so on a whim I blind bought it (got the 0.5mL which is $50). I'm so happy I did! It's complex and sexy. I'm not the most sophisticated when it comes to describing fragrances - it's hard for me to pick out specific notes sometimes - but I'd describe this as starting out spicy/musky and mellowing to a creamy, very alluring spiced sweetness in the drydown. It's sensuous, long-wearing, and I seriously can't get enough!

    The description is:

    Top notes: fruits of the sun, peach

    Heart notes: rose, white flowers, cardamom, clove

    Base notes: patchouli, chocolate, coffee, musk

    Also the packaging is gorgeous:

    I'm going to check out some of their other fragrances!

    I got my first pull-up! (startrek.website)
     

    I don't know where else to share this, but I'm so proud of myself so I've gotta post it somewhere. I've finally got my first unassisted pull-up! It wasn't a goal I was working super hard toward, but I've noticed a lot of new muscle definition in my back, probably because I do a lot of rows, especially bird-dog rows and renegade rows. So I tried a pull-up and I was able to do one pretty easily! Not bad for a middle-aged lady! Now I've got a goal to do three. :)

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 and I just got the new OneUI update. Now when I watch media in Jerboa there's an annoying scrolling notification that appears:

    How do I get rid of this?

    Also how do I get rid of whatever this is in my edge tray?

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: I figured out the first one, search settings for the Now Bar and disable whatever you don't want to see

     

    Hey friends. I've recently realized that what I thought were freckles is actually melasma, and my dermatologist has prescribed me tretinoin for it. I have very pale skin, generally normal in the winter and a little oilier in the T-zone during the summer, but it can dry out really badly with things like AHA. From what I've heard, tret is pretty drying. My dermatologist recommended that I start with applying it only two nights a week, and using a pea-sized amount mixed into my moisturizer. I use the Tatcha Water Cream moisturizer, which is pretty light and has been great for me, but with tret I'm wondering if I'll need a heavier moisturizer. I'm also worried that my usual double-cleansing will worsen the dryness from tret. I double-cleanse with an oil balm to remove my mineral sunblock, then with the Tatcha Rice Wash to get rid of the sunblock & oil balm residue. But I'm thinking the rice wash might be irritating because it's got a (mild) physical exfoliant, so maybe I need to find something else for my second cleanse?

    Does anyone have any experiences to share about dryness on tret, or just starting tret in general? Anything I should be aware of? I'm weirdly nervous about it!
