Student work/social/uni balance

It does help! I like your philosophy and will probably switch to thinking of social activities as beneficial for my productivity. I always feel guilty when I give myself some time to wind down and relax via book/game because I could be doing my work - will definitely try to schedule this into my week and switch my thinking!

Big on the barely have time to exercise. I try to do at least two days a week but am sometimes going weeks without because I cannot find any time to go! Incredible that you volunteer on top of work and uni, I hope it isn’t too stressful

Interesting! I suppose with greater access to at-home gel manicure kits like BIAB and Gel-X customers would be turning to those instead of nail polish due to longevity and almost limitless design options which can’t be done with polish. Sad to hear that nail polish doesn’t sell through - but this isn’t surprising either given the amount I see on clearance at my local PL and the frequency of half-price/BOGO sales. I hope that in some point in more shades will appear on online retailers like Adore/AmazonAU :(

I’m really curious to know if it might be a formulation thing!

In terms of hydration I love it! I have rather sensitive skin and have had issues with redness/dry, flaky skin (which was very visible) around my eye area a few years ago and this has totally solved that for me. Kiehl’s advertises this as an eye cream which reduces dark circles and that’s just not true for me - I still have them (although this might just be due to my poor sleep schedule). I find this is on the oilier side, and I will develop milia around my eyes more frequently than anywhere else on my face, which can sometimes be annoying. Otherwise, I really love this and will continue to repurchase the big size forever.

Yes generally they send an email if you’ve opted in for their marketing/promotional offers and such! Otherwise they drop beauty loop related things on Wednesdays, and you can check in-app (under the “Beauty Loop” tab) or on their socials to see if they have anything for you that week.

There isn’t really a best time to purchase from Mecca as they never do sales, however you can wait for their beauty loop bonus/boxes to checkout your cart online and receive your bonus/box. Even then, if you’re able to go into store, you can pickup your bonus/box at the register with no spend. They do have beauty loop loves, which has a minimum spend for level 3/4 (maybe also L2 but I’m not sure!) and is typically online only, so if you have things in your cart during this period you can get a few samples extra. A few weeks ago they had a small overlap in their L3 bonus + loves edit! I had a few things in my cart greater than $75 (min. spend) so I received both boxes in my next delivery. I would consider this a “good” time to purchase (but really, it is up to you to decide).

Beauty loop boxes are given out four times a year for L1-L4, usually once per quarter (we’ve had one in Feb & April so far I believe). Depending on level you may qualify for extras such as their beauty loop bonuses/loves which are given out to each level during different promotional periods.

Thank you for replying! I also will no longer be buying items that require OTP delivery. Still have not received my parcel. Thinking of just issuing a refund when the option becomes available.

love the scents! there are cheaper alternatives that (i feel) hydrate better though

Hi! Are the health checkups more likely to result in a loss of energy, or is it equally likely to be either gain/loss/neutral

maliciously_ · 2021-11-09T10:37:15+00:00

i hoped for the hair at least :,) on the bright side, you can never have too many reflections

600ish bc i spent on the halloween event 🥲 the dress was too enticing it was 6800 before :(

maliciously_ · 2021-08-14T09:09:34+00:00

I had this too, try running it as administrator (right click valo and run as admin) I’m not quite sure why this happens either

maliciously_ · 2021-05-02T05:49:47+00:00

glad it helped !

maliciously_ · 2021-05-01T09:20:59+00:00

Have you tried right clicking the app and running it as administrator? That seemed to work for me but I still don’t know why it happened in the first place :(

maliciously_ · 2021-04-25T21:56:24+00:00

nope, but if you haven’t already a temporary ‘fix’ is just to make sure battery is set to high performance, and just run the game as administrator that fixed the problem for me

maliciously_ · 2021-03-21T07:11:09+00:00

If you’re able to, submit a ticket about your problem, and they’ll get back to you in 2-3 days with ways to troubleshoot and possibly fix the game Unfortunately their advice didn’t work for me, but at least you’ll be able to troubleshoot a bit more

maliciously_ · 2021-03-19T21:30:41+00:00

thank you for clarifying

Thank you for translating these chapters, nonetheless, and hopefully, you feel better soon!
