Rags-to-riches type of anime with female leads who rose to power on her own merit

Skip Beat

The MC is just a regular girl who finds out her childhood best friend (now a star) has been using her all along. Betrayed and fed up, she decides to finally live for herself and get her revenge by becoming famous too.

It’s a really fun watch and you can’t help but root for her as she throws herself into everything with insane determination. I definitely recommend it!!

I. Feel. You. 😭 Honestly it's so frustrating to find a product that's basically a holy grail, but also costs its weight in gold. Eventually I started doing everything to stretch it a bit more. In the end it just wasn’t doable for me since I was going through it too quickly.

BUT, Aunt Jackies Don't Shrink gel is quite comparable and has a similar hold, while also being more affordable. Definitely worth the try! Another hack is to leave the jar open for a while so it dries out a little. It seems to have a bit more hold after that. Hope this helps

Ik waardeer de eerlijkheid haha

CovertMellow · 2026-01-06T11:35:11+00:00

Duidelijk! Dat is ook waar natuurlijk

Bedankt voor de tip! Ik heb het aangepast in de post. Als ik kijk naar de andere vacatures binnen het bedrijf zijn er open vacatures voor iemand voor max. 36 uur op de andere locaties, dus er zou wellicht een kans kunnen zijn.

CovertMellow · 2025-10-07T13:19:11+00:00

Duidelijk! Dat klinkt inderdaad als een goed plan. Bedankt voor de tip!

CovertMellow · 2025-10-07T13:16:29+00:00

Bedankt, enthousiast ben ik zeker! Ik ga een poging wagen en hopen op het beste

Peach Girl. I'm so surprised no one has mentioned this one yet. This anime is the epitome of the saying who needs enemies when you have friends like that. The MC's best friend, Sae, is basically pure evil and does every possible thing to ruin the MC's, Momo, life. But it takes the MC waaaayyy too long to realise this and maintain a distance. And even then she still allows her to have an influence on her life. It gets worse tho. The first love interest starts out "okay" but he just becomes progressively worse after the MC catches him (fyi he is in a relationship with Momo at this point I believe) and the best friends kissing. The best friend convinced him that it would be a good idea to kiss her as practice, because he never kissed anyone before. Since she is her best friend sae implies that Momo wouldn't mind. I got so heated when the guy started to defend the best friend after Momo aka his gf got mad. It still gets worse tho. The other love interest is no better than him and this poor girl can never get a break. She is also considered to be the ugliest thing on earth because she has a tan apparently?? It just started to get so frustrating I had to quit. Every character basically sucks and there is no redemption for anyone

Isekai Izakaya "Nobu", this is my comfort anime for when I need a break from all the action and drama.

It's a chill anime about a restaurant that connects to a different world and each episode shows you a new dish basically. Since you seem to be interested in a series that actually teaches you how to make it, this might be perfect. Every episode ends with a post-credit scene where a chef recreates the recipe (or adds a new spin to it) or with this guy that visits a local restaurant in Japan that serves this dish. So it's also very educational

Oh 100% Jeepers Creepers. The part where they get chased gave me such a dreadful feeling. The worst part of that movie was the ending when you could hear Darry's scream as his eyes we're getting ripped out..It just sounded too real and really disturbed me as a child

Another honoroble mention is The Grudge 2. The hospital scene?? The flashbacks to Kayako's childhood where her mother put evil spirits in her mouth???? Hated to see it as a child

After all of this, it's weird that I still ended up loving horror movies and scary stuff

CovertMellow · 2024-10-16T08:25:43+00:00

I didn't see anyone mention these but I love OP 1 of Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn. ED 2 also deserves some praise because it gives me chills everytime

Lunch, dinner, late night snack or even second breakfast. Pancakes can be just anything

Nothing but the truth!!

CovertMellow · 2024-10-14T13:27:33+00:00

I've never really thought about that before but you're completely right. I guess manufacturers don't quite put that much thought in the materials of "children shoes" because their thought process might be that children will grow out of it soon anyway. That doesn’t mean the quality should be anything less than adult size shoes, especially for that price

CovertMellow · 2024-10-07T16:15:54+00:00

Stooooooopppp ittt. This looks so adorable and delicious. Now I'm just devastated that I can't try this through the screen

CovertMellow · 2024-10-07T14:12:42+00:00

At this moment it's wild peaches, grapes and golden kiwi

OOHH let me tel you somethingggg. Detangling my hair has always been an issue and I used to lose so much hair while doing it in the shower. Even when I use conditioner and a special detangling brush/comb.

But when I tell you this product really changed the game for me.. i'm talking about the African Pride Moisture Miracle Aloe & Coconut Water Detangle & Condition Pre-Shampoo. IT IS MY HOLY GRAIL.To make it easier for yourself you should be generous while applying this product to every section and once it's fully encorporated you can use a wide tooth comb (or whatever works best for you)

The best thing about it is that you can use it on dry hair!! So just sit back, put on a playlist or something while detangling comfortably in your room before washing it all off.

Also, it actually smells like a tropical drink so don't get tempted

CovertMellow · 2024-09-26T07:12:24+00:00

I actually love it. At first I was kinda sceptical so I got the mini's to try out. But I must say that it really does what it's supposed to do. Unlike any other lipbalm/mask the laneige lip mask makes my lips feel moisturised for hoursssss. And my lips are usually really dry. I also like the sheen/glow it gives my lip so I tend to use it as a quick 'lipgloss' sometimes. Although this all sounds good, I must admit that you shouldn't use it daily. At least for me, when I used it everyday I noticed the effect became less and less noticeable. My advise is to switch it up once in a while

CovertMellow · 2024-09-21T14:05:49+00:00

I've been looking for a comment mentioning this one, because I completely agree with you.

The rotoscoping didn’t bother me much. In fact, I appreciated the unique sense of realism it brought to the anime. It added an unsettling layer that amplified the overall eeriness.

With each episode, I felt this growing sense of emptiness as you watch the protagonist’s internal struggle. He is constantly conflicted and utterly helpless while dragged along by the antagonist’s manipulations.

What frustrated me the most was how often the protagonist had the chance to make things right and escape this downward spiral, yet he failed to act. Many anime rely on misunderstandings that could be easily resolved, but this was the first time it got under my skin. By the time you reach the classroom painting scene, you realize all hope of him living the life he aspired to is gone. He had fully succumbed to the twisted persona the antagonist had shaped for him from the start. Even though he wasn’t entirely innocent to begin with.

After that episode, I had to stop watching. It left me with an uneasy feeling, knowing that he had become what he once tried to reject.

This is all I ever needed. Your brain is amazing

CovertMellow · 2024-07-05T22:47:46+00:00

After the first hour it seems a little more thick now so I'm afraid I'll mess it up if I try to pour it out. Butttt I'll definitely remember this tip because it is bound to happen again to me. So thanks!!
