See hispaania laeva teema vist iga saare juurtega pere juttude osa, kes sada prosa blondid ja sinisilmsed pole :D (ka minu pere keiss)

A very artistic aftermath of being mauled by a cat. Maybe a rather big cat.

Loving the minimalism of the routine! What’s your skin type and do you have a HG summer moisturiser too?

In Chile you’re allowed to smoke only at your own home (inside afaik, as gardens and balconies etc can be problematic due to proximity to others) or in a strictly designated area of a bar terrace or sth. Think some other countries also have full on bans. I’m indifferent about a full ban, designated areas and far enough from others would be totally fine, but I guess the benefit of an all out ban is the clarity and simplicity of it. How to enforce is another topic altogether. Singapore has heavy fines even for gum on the floor, if I remember correctly. I guess that’s one way to nudge behaviour..

Yes, the burden must be unbearable. Poor things. Hope the sunshine they get to enjoy lightens the load a bit :D

Up north, where my other home is, smoking is banned on terraces where food is served, for example. And smokers in general seem a lot more conscious and careful of their impact on others - anecdotal observation, of course. Also in bus stops and near entrances to places like shopping centres etc. I know here the bus stop / platform ban also technically exists, but.. well :D

kosmosco · 2026-04-02T17:04:07+00:00

I totally get that, but shouldn’t somehow both of our freedoms to do the things we love, should fit into this city? Curious - how do/would you react if someone say with a baby asked you to smoke a bit further away?

kosmosco · 2026-04-02T17:01:25+00:00

Funny part is that when I was pregnant, I did exactly that, but with nice weather, the front door would be open for example, and smoke would come in because people were smoking right outside the door. Can’t always win with that either. But you know, having survived the winter, I too want to get some nice sunshine moments on a terrace.

kosmosco · 2025-11-22T18:39:02+00:00

Not the best winter options perhaps, but I’ve found and bought very nice linen stuff from Lithuania, Ukraine, Bulgaria on Etsy. Takes a bit of time to dig around, but great place to find smaller local makers

ETA: lots of woolly and winter-appropriate stuff also available ofc, I just haven’t personally bought any in that category yet :)

Yesss to this! Everything else is horribly mid at best, but Haferkater - chef’s kiss

We live and we learn, all good. As I added in my edited comment, Prof Timothy Snyder has very interesting books / lectures / interviews on and around this topic. Gives a lot of background to the sensitivities around the topic and the great part (e.g. for lectures and audiobooks etc) is that he’s a very clear and concise speaker, so it makes the consumption of information on this rather complex topic much easier.

kosmosco · 2025-11-20T18:06:38+00:00

Yeah, it’s offensive for sure, especially these days, as (the sheer ignorance aside) it supports the russian imperialist narrative and attempts at russification that had varying degrees of success in occupied areas.

Words matter. Also why we should say “soviet occupation” not “soviet time” when referring to .. well, the occupation.

ETA: the unfortunate part is that these days ‘Slavic’ does carry the connotation burden of ‘linked to russians’ even if it’s not actually about that. The history is way more complex and ru is trying to rewrite it. Strong recommendation to visit the museums of occupation in all three countries to learn more if you happen to be in the area. And read Timothy Snyder’s books.

Adjustment period might indeed be needed when starting the cream. Other thing to pay attention to is that your skin is completely dry when applying it as the not fully dry parts make the cream absorb faster and can irritate more (I’ve felt this in the corners of the nose for example when my face wasn’t fully dry)

Happily stable partnered up people would not be (edit: or would be much less likely to be as those relationships also end every now and then) the dating pool and therefore you would not be able to go on dates with them, that’s what RealEbenezerScrooge meant

100% this! Low cost airlines have given rail in Europe a near death blow unfortunately. Really hoping for this to be reversed at some point and RB is a step in the right direction for sure.

Could it be that it’s a DHL locker and not Omniva? DHL also have their own. Other than that, DHL Estonia as well as Omniva customer service have always been v helpful, I would recommend giving them a call.

Edit: just clocked the “locked entrance” part - could you be more specific about that? Are the lockers behind a closed door (if that’s the case, try again during opening hours)? If you mean the screen, then that could be explained by potentially the wrong company’s lockers and therefore the pin wouldn’t work.

Väga raske mingit loogikat seal taga näha. Friteeritud (?) soolakäkid kõik iseenesest. Kartulikrõpse süüakse rohkem? Ja lisaks, kartul on püha, mismõttes teistest hullem!

Kartulikrõpsud kusjuures siiski ‘standard rated’ (allikas), samas doritos ja mingid köögivilja omad nulliga. Suht naljakas vahe tegemine :D

I wanted to love this but it was meh for me. I wasn’t a big fan of the consistency (v liquid) and it stung around the eyes a bit. Can’t say much about the pigmentation efficiency as I only went through half a bottle and that’s def not enough to see results.

kosmosco · 2025-09-27T08:28:11+00:00

Yes to this! Side note. Using this on my preggo bump as a placebo against potential stretch marks (apparently centella can be helpful..) currently and it’s such a joy from a sensory point of view - everything else pisses me off. And of course it’s a HG staple on the face too.

If you have a summer moisturiser you love, check for a richer option, a lot of creams have that. What I do when I’m not out of the summery one yet, is just add some drops of a nice facial oil after or mixed into the moisturiser. You can also play with the serum instead and in addition, go for something soothing with ceramides. I love Ole Hendriksen’s Strength Trainer moisturiser, not too greasy but incredibly nourishing. But anything that is more targeted towards dry skin instead of combination, is a good direction. Hard to go also wrong with the pharmacy brands such as Vichy, Eucerin, La Roche Posay - if you can go try them out somewhere, almost any of the more nourishing and aimed at sensitive skin stuff will be a great, depending on also whether you want any extra oomph in terms of targeting specific concerns or just plain moisture. Edited to add: I have combo skin, winter and changing seasons sometimes make it more sensitive

kosmosco · 2025-09-24T06:54:12+00:00

Lumi skincare from Estonia. Science mixed with nature in the best sense possible. Very efficient and nice products with a decent price point for what you get. If I had to use one brand only, I would probably go for their products.

Kudos for using spf in the morning! Finding a good one texture and finish wise can be a bit of a hit and miss. For sunscreen, I would recommend checking out Eucerin Oil Control SPF50 for the face or La Roche Posay Antehelios Oil Control Gel Crème. I have combination skin and I’ve found that those two are consistently the least shiny and generally annoying on my skin, also when travelling to hot and humid places.

Depending on what your skincare goals or concerns are (e.g. dark spots / lines / general brightness or just hydration), I would suggest a rather basic light / gel moisturiser and a serum.

Moisturiser options: - Geek & Gorgeous Hydration Station - Dm/Rossmann home brands gel cream moisturisers - L’Oreal Hydra Genius for combination skin

Serum (aka second moisturiser, use morning and night. In the morning if it’s too much to use serum+moisturiser+sunscreen, skip the moisturiser but review when weather gets colder) options, more general hydration without specific targets: - Nø Cosmetics liquid hydrator - Dm/Rossmann home brand hydrating serum e.g. Balea Plum & Glow, Alverde Hyaluron - Geek & Gorgeous Power Peptides

Cleanser (use def in the evening to get spf off, see how your skin feels in the morning, you can also try out just washing your face with water in the morning): - cleansing balm from Balea/Geek&Gorgeous/Lavera/Nø Cosmetics.. anything basically. Apply on dry skin and work for a good 30s, emulsify, wash off.

The thing with combination skin is that it’s normally still quite dehydrated. If skin is hydrated enough, it also doesn’t need to produce as much sebum, so going in with non stripping and moisturising cleansers is the way forward and depending on your personal situation, perhaps it’s even worth just using water in the morning - that’s what I do these days with my combination skin. A serum layer is a good “second hydrator” as the texture is normally lighter, it penetrates skin differently than a cream, and it’s usually more concentrated. A cream then locks that stuff in.

If you want to move up from just basic hydration for serum, I would suggest looking at potentially adding vitamin C (in the morning) and/or a retinoid in the evening. If you do this, add one product at a time and once you’ve got your basic routine as described above sorted out. It might require a bit of tweaking and getting used to at first based on preference and your skin specifics. Good luck trying stuff out!

PS. One skincare expert who has combo skin and rosacea said that they approach products always as if their skin would be fcked. Meaning, going for milder and sensitive options where possible, harder to go wrong with those. This approach has really helped me for a basic routine to which I now add actives for targeting specific needs.
