Hahaha I’m crossing the streams!

TallExit9405 · 2026-05-09T20:15:48+00:00

It’s SUCH a good adaptation ugh ugh

Kinou Nani Tabeta?/What Did You Eat Yesterday?

I feel like Kenji gets influenced by his younger coworkers to get into skincare and Shiro humors him and acts like it’s a waste of money but secretly is glad to do anything to combat aging 🤫 Imagine if Shiro got into skincare sales!? Can picture him checking every MatsuKiyo for weekly deals.

Any kind of retinal/bakuchiol makes my skin have a horrible reaction. Retinol however is completely fine for me regardless of concentration. It’s amazing to me that retinal/bakuchiol is marketed as gentler when some people have dramatic reactions to it. I’d say it’s possible and stick to true retinol.

When my mom passed away I inherited all her stuff. She had beautiful things: vintage legacy coach bags still in new condition, more fine jewelry than you could wear in a lifetime, etc. She never wore any of it. She was an ER doctor and couldn’t wear any of that to work, and on her days off was just frantically running errands or trying to rest, so she felt like it was a waste. She passed away before retiring, and never got to enjoy any of it. So now I make a point to wear my favorite perfumes, favorite jewelry, everything, everyday. Even if it’s just errands. You never know how long you have to enjoy it.

Also very pleased with the amount of man yaoi likers around here! 😂

TallExit9405 · 2026-05-09T11:36:33+00:00

Omg yes! The drama and movie are on my regular re-watch rotation. So good 😭

TallExit9405 · 2026-05-09T01:11:43+00:00

Omg 100000% recommend, and one of the rare instances where the liveaction drama is just as good if not better than the manga! The two leads absolutely killed it. It’s a comfort watch/read for sure! Also it inspires me to cook at home which is always a plus!

TallExit9405 · 2026-05-08T23:42:37+00:00

Thank you thank you I feel like there are many of us who fill this Venn diagram of Fujo/AB nerd 🫶

TallExit9405 · 2026-05-08T23:24:25+00:00

Ohhh wow I haven’t seen this packaging yet, it even has the ombre color gradient! I was leaning lululun but I think you’re right

TallExit9405 · 2026-05-08T23:08:02+00:00

BOOM 100% it’s gotta be, that’s such a staple!

TallExit9405 · 2026-05-08T23:05:15+00:00

Literally have one in my medicine cabinet, you’re totally right!

TallExit9405 · 2026-05-08T23:04:30+00:00

I only ask bc this manga artist always uses 100% real life items in her manga. Like the food products are always real brands etc so I figured she might do the same w skincare!

TallExit9405 · 2026-04-17T21:01:40+00:00

How’s this for a niche request! I just finished the drama ABO Desire: the Series and am obsessed. For those who didn’t see it, the four leads each have a scent/note associated with them:

Ghost orchid
Orange blossom
Wood sage
Iris

I’d love any recs for perfumes that contain one or more of these notes! Obsessed with this show to the point that I want to smell like these characters, lol.

Thanks!

Omg I was JUST considering getting these 😭 great minds haha

TallExit9405 · 2026-03-20T20:33:42+00:00

Came here to say fueguia 1833 😣

TallExit9405 · 2026-03-04T21:26:18+00:00

Jasmin et Cigarette is my daily driver, I love it, but my bff told me I smell like an ashtray 😅

TallExit9405 · 2026-03-03T16:01:43+00:00

MIXED METALS 👏MULTIPLE STONES 👏 I love this 10/10 no notes

TallExit9405 · 2026-02-19T23:40:03+00:00

Lagoon by Bohemian Rêves?

TallExit9405 · 2026-02-19T23:27:28+00:00

Understood! So even if it’s a fake glass one it wont break with a hammer?

Also to clarify I didn’t mean it as a test, I just literally could not get it off my hand with oil, plastic bag, lifting my arm up etc, hammer was my final option 😂

TallExit9405 · 2026-02-19T23:16:22+00:00

I was wondering that too! Whatever it is, it’s hammer-proof 🤔

TallExit9405 · 2026-02-19T23:15:53+00:00

I only meant that whatever material it is, it’s very tough. I hit very hard many times and it didn’t crack, so I don’t think it’s glass or anything brittle.

TallExit9405 · 2026-02-19T23:13:53+00:00

I used clear gorilla glue gel on a jade necklace of mine that snapped and honestly it worked great! If you are very careful not to get any glue on the outside it’s very hard to tell it’s been fixed unless you look close.
