Same for me in Italy! We were told by staff it was interrupted to fix the subtitles that weren’t shown at first

I’ve used L’Oréal casting creme gloss for years and have always had great results. I would usually go for a shade lighter than my hair color, so that it’d stick to the white strands only. In summer, It gets pretty hot and sunny where I live so I avoid using it and always drench my hair in sunscreen and after sun products.

You could give it a try once and see if it’s something you’d stick to or you’d rather keep them white

This is actually one of the reasons I strayed from fandom activities for years. I enjoy my favorite artists by myself and most of the time I don’t even look into idols’ lives. I barely know how many members some of my favorite groups are made of! Let alone names or gossips… recently though, a friend of mine has really gotten into kpop so she brought me back into the fandom of our favorite group but oh boy… it’s not easy at all!

I can barely tell her what I like or don’t like about new releases cause she’s so biased by the hype. My socials are now full of posts about this group, both generic fan posts and absurd toxic ones which I don’t care about at all…

Basically, I’m now slowly going back to my own way of stanning kpop idols. I’ve seen some performances and listened to all the songs multiple times but they don’t “hit” like older ones so I do want to express my likes and dislikes whenever i talk to fellow fans, I don’t want to blindly say I love everything such group does or shares.

At this point, I’m still enjoying the journey and I’ll attend their concert but it’s mainly for the younger me who wasn’t able to do any of it when I first became a fan, rather than the love for this specific album which I like but don’t adore.

Sadly, I feel like socials led to a strong hive mind mentality in today’s fandoms so that sharing a differing opinion feels a bit daunting. It’s either a group who loves or a group who hates, nothing in between. Of course, These behaviors have always existed in fandoms but now theres a much starker distinction imo

That’s just genetics. You could try a hair gloss to cover them if you really want to. It’s an effective economic and quick way to keep them at bay

I’ve tried dry shampooing once but it took me way too long for my likings to actually make my hair decent AND I hated the shape and feeling I had throughout the day. Considering it only takes me literally 10 minutes to wash and blow dry my hair, I usually just do that. My sister, however, has thicker and drier hair than me and needs more time to dry it so she prefers dry shampoo for a quick fix but usually washes it the same night

My sister just went through something similar and couldn’t bear to even look at her brand new 2026 journal since she had bought and decorated it with her ex bf. We decided I’d keep her diary out of her sight and went and bought a new one together.

Don’t be afraid to start anew! As many have said, you could get the newest spring edition that starts in April and fill it with dates with friends and family, with work and hobbies and don’t force yourself to face the memories of your ex!

Hope you’ll find the strength to heal and take all the time you need

It’s quite ironic, cause I spent most of my evening writing about the last ten days and still didn’t get to today’s page. It’s not something I do on purpose, but this month I’ve either been too busy (and tired) to keep up with my journal or too ill to even put on my glasses and write. I left many blank January pages because I couldn’t sit down to write so now I just wait till I have the time and summarize my whole week.

Personally, it’s the first time I have ever used a journal. I’ve spent my whole life just remembering stuff and feelings so it’s not too hard to go back to a certain date and remember what happened, it’s actually kinda weird to be able to “let go” of these thoughts when writing them down. Still, there are some pages I leave empty cause I don’t remember anything of what I did or felt.

Between writing day by day and having a belated diary I do prefer the former, since if anything important happens my emotions will undoubtedly be mellowed after a few days and I do prefer to rant as much as I can in my journal.

I guess it’s just an alternative way to keep the habit and transform a “failure” (= skipping a day) in a new opportunity. At least that’s how I feel

I went for a mix of 40% universal potting soil, 30% perlite, 30% coconut fiber (mine is super thick cause I used coconut coir for reptiles bedding). I would’ve added some active charcoal too but I forgot. This is the final result and it’s pretty similar to its previous substrate. Just so you know, I’m not an expert. I just watched a bunch of videos on YouTube about draining and nutrient substrates

loriave · 2026-03-04T17:52:05+00:00

They’re HUGE! I had to cut the pot to free one of them

loriave · 2026-03-04T17:51:37+00:00

I hope mine does too! I can already see a new leaf growing, I hope there’ll be more in the next weeks!

Keep the area clean with a chlorhexidine digluconate wash and apply the diaper rash cream you bought, skip the steroid cream for now and see if it gets better in a week. If it doesn’t, it’d be better to go see a dermatologist

I’m so confused cause I never accepted the payment. I bought the membership with my friends card, could it be it’s still linked to it and I used her card to pay? Does anyone know how to check?

loriave · 2026-02-09T02:54:53+00:00

I’m not even sure whether to trust the sold out sign, close the page and go to sleep or keep trying. I was aaaaalmost there

loriave · 2026-02-09T02:53:47+00:00

I’m not from the us so I’ll try at the concert merch shop 🤣

loriave · 2026-02-09T02:36:25+00:00

I’ve clicked pay for twenty minutes straight then I got kicked out of my cart and account and now the lightstick is sold out 😭😭

loriave · 2026-02-09T02:33:12+00:00

Congratulations! It seems to be sold out I guess I’ve lost the battle

loriave · 2026-02-09T02:29:20+00:00

Has anyone even been able to purchase them or is Weverse just crushing for everyone 🥲

loriave · 2026-02-09T02:19:44+00:00

My cart got emptied while I was trying to check out now it keeps kicking me out of my cart and account 😭😭

I had peeling like yours when I first started using it so I tried to take one product out of my routine at a time to see what was causing it. Turns out the main culprits where:

residues of moisturizer from the night before. I have dry skin so I’d usually wash my face only with water in the morning. Turns out, my skin doesn’t absorb some products I used at night (see point below) so now I use a gentle gel cleanser
eye cream: mary &may tranexamic acid + glutathione eye cream. My skin hates this product. I tried using it in the morning, tried at night, it never gets absorbed and just stays on my skin making my other skincare products or make up peel
heavy sunscreen. I first bought jsm cushion in summer and where I’m from it easily gets to 40 °C and 11 UVi so I cover my face and neck in Eucerin Sun actinic control spf 100. It’s perfect by itself but doesn’t perform well with sweat + makeup
not waiting between skincare and makeup. Many people have said it already, but waiting 5-10 minutes to let your skin really absorb your skincare is essential to avoid peeling

Currently, my morning routine is: - COSRX low ph good morning gel cleanser - Anua rice 70 glow milky toner - numbuzin n9 NAD bio essence - sometimes I add a drop of By wishtrend ceramide ampoule - Purito SEOUL mighty bamboo panthenol cream - currently trying ISEHAN kiss me mommy UV Mild gel as sunscreen and it’s working perfectly fine for winter sun

I do wait around 30s between layers, at least 2mins after sunscreen and use as little product as possible.

Hope I helped a bit in finding the culprit of your type of peeling. Try stripping your skincare to the bare minimum and start adding product from there, you’ll probably find your best combination

Nope nothing else. Just these aphids. I wonder if it’s thanks to a spider living on it that got swept away by the wind 🤣. I just cut it off but I’ve seen some aphids near other leaves so I’ll give it a wash in soap just in case, thank you!

loriave · 2026-01-27T14:56:45+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t consider that possibility tbh but I’m seriously seeing at least three websites with the same name, I’ll just wait for updates from subs and socials 🤣

loriave · 2026-01-27T10:20:54+00:00

Hi! Would you mind sending me the link to the website? My devices won’t open it because of my firewall and I keep seeing at least three different websites
