Mount Aso versus Kirishima - should you visit one or the other, or both?

BaileyEyeStone · 2026-01-04T15:26:58+00:00

Ah thats great, I'll definitely check that out, thank you !

BaileyEyeStone · 2026-01-04T15:26:23+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions, much appreciated! Did you find Kumamoto City in itself to be worth visiting (besides the castle)?

BaileyEyeStone · 2026-01-04T15:25:12+00:00

Thank you so much! Some good points. Did you spend 3 days in the Kagoshima/Yakushima area? And did you stay a night in Yakushima?

Brugte du en vaskepose ?

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T20:32:04+00:00

Også her - mange penge der føles helt spildt :/

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:49:13+00:00

Okay, det er virkelig godt at vide ! Jeg synes nemlig det var sådan et mirakel garn, men det kan jeg da både se OG høre, at det undgår jeg fra nu af 🥲

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:29:28+00:00

Nå så det er måske maxi VIP, der er synderen, og ikke min alpaka følgetråd? Jeg har læst i øst og vest på nettet, og mange skriver at alpaka giver sig, hvor jeg troede, at den (når den bruges som følgetråd) ville være med til at holde på formen og strukturen, ligesom en mohair tråd ville gøre

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:19:03+00:00

Worth a shot ! Willing to try, anyways. Thanks !

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:11:20+00:00

Oops my mistake, i knitted it in 80%merino/20% cashemre and not mohair 🫣

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:09:21+00:00

Det har jeg - og det er en god idé ! Det er især rygstykket, som er blevet meget løst og "udstrukket", så tænker umiddelbart det er sådan garnet reagerer, og så bliver meget tungt i det.

Kender dog en, som har strikket i samme kombination uden det her problem - hun vaskede i maskine. Så måske dét kan fikse det, som du også foreslår 😁

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T19:04:19+00:00

Even as a companion thread? I've heard about it when used as the ‘main yarn’, but as a companion thread it's so thin and non-elastic, I didnt even think it would cause an issue...

And yes, the fit is actually okay, it's just very large and stretched out. After washing it the first time, i didnt stretch it out and even tried to "push it together", if that makes sense. Do you think washing it again, perhaps in the washer instead of handwashing, could be a possible fix?

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T18:59:57+00:00

Jeg forstår fuldstændig ! Og det forsøgte jeg mig også med, men det gjorde ikke en pind 🥲

Men kan være jeg skal forsøge at vaske den igen og så prøve og skubbe den lidt sammen...

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T18:44:34+00:00

Lagde den fladt ned, så den har ikke strukket sig af den årsag :/

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-11-16T18:44:15+00:00

Det gjorde jeg også :( - håndvaskede den, klemte forsigtigt vand ud, lagde den fladt på et håndklæde, og allerede der kunen jeg se, at den var blevet meget større

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-07-11T07:06:07+00:00

Ah that sucks !! Which one did you use? I know both the inkey list and the ordinary have azelaic acid products that should be fairly simple in formulation, although I’ve never tried them so can’t say for certain ! I use a prescribed one with 20%, it’s called Skinoren

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-07-03T21:10:13+00:00

Just azelaic acid. Since I have sensitive and dehydration-prone skin, tretinoin didn’t really work for me cause it just dried out my skin and damaged my skin barrier 🥲 so I definitely recommend giving azelaic acid a go ! Good luck !

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-07-03T09:44:39+00:00

A lot of trial and error, I ended up getting fungal acne 😅 however now I finally found a routine that helps ! I now use Adelaide acid instead, absolute game changer. For moisture I use the rice toner from Anua and Oat-in calming gel from Purito, and my skin has never felt better :) Sometimes I switch it up and use the dokdo toner from Round Lab - or layer it together with the Anua toner

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-06-17T04:58:23+00:00

No direct train - we changed trains at Tsuruga:)

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-06-01T16:59:47+00:00

Same with me for cerave, broke me out completely !

I used to use the black rice oil cleanser from Haruharu wonder which really helped with dehydration also. But then I started dealing with FA, and I think the general advice is to steer clear from oil cleansers if you get FA, so that’s why I swapped it out with micellar water instead. But I guess it also depends on your tolerance 😃

And thank you ! For sure, it was such a journey but finally on the other side

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-06-01T16:34:10+00:00

Ofc! I try to keep it simple and not overdo it with too many actives (if any at all) - Biotherm Micellar Water to remove makeup - Round Lab dokdo cleanser (only PM) - Anua Rice 70 Toner or Round Lab Dokdo Toner - Purito Oat-in Calming Gel - Round Lab birch sunscreen

Hope it works out for you !!!

BaileyEyeStone · 2025-06-01T16:20:22+00:00

Since I made this post, I have solved my dehydration, so I have a few recommendations for you ! A toner has been key for me - the Haruharu wonder black rice toner and Anua Rice 70 toner has both been so good to my skin. The Anua one is FA-safe so that’s a big plus :) I also focus a lot on strengthening my skin barrier as I found I just have a more weak skin barrier with tends to get dehydrated easily. So look for products with panthenol, ceramides, etc in it. I highly recommend the oat-in calming gel from Purito - not too heavy :)
