My study table has gotten old, is there anything I can do about it?
Too broke to buy a new one. Asked the carpenter if he could change the laminate but he said it's quite difficult plus high charges. How do I fix this?

Pls tell us how were your experiences. I wanna know about what are the chances as I don't want my efforts to go wasted.
I'm gonna be changing the bathroom rug to a new one and prolly gonna add a full mirror along with a very short table in front of it to keep my makeup and skincare stuffs. What else can I do?
Here are some of my ideas:
A hanging fern on the wardrobe top (confused about what colour to choose)
A memory grid and a couple of posters that suits my aesthetic
I'm also thinking of getting a spotlight lamp with which I can click good pictures when I get ready but still confused if I should go for it.
Also a bit confused if I should go for a floor rug and if yes then which colour
Any ideas are welcomed in the dm.
I'm 22f studying in college, and atp I feel like everyone has friends and their respective circle. Idk why I have no social circle and only 2 friends who don't go out that much. I've tried making friends from my apartments and so but it still wasn't so great. There are online social media groups for fellow people going through loneliness in my city but since I live with my brown family I'm not allowed to go out with strangers or people i met online. Tbh I have amazing online friends but atp I need smth irl. Idk what I do now. This feeling of not having anyone to feel comfortable with is eating me inside especially when I see everyone around me on social media hanging out and having fun with their people, and it's not like they're pretending or smth, these people actually are really nice friends and they actually share a great bond. I'm just stuck somewhere idk where. This was never smth that I wanted for myself. Growing up, I always had many friends and I was so extroverted. Over the years, this loneliness is getting a part inside me. And ofc I have many hobbies to do and my work and all but I still feel like no matter how much you enjoy your own company, it can't replace the outside connection.
Pov: This is not an invite for creepy/non creepy dms. I'm not looking for friends here. I'm genuinely asking for advice.

How good is this cleanser? Does it leave any oiliness behind? skin type- oily acne prone.
I'm 22 F. I have been getting acne on and off since I was 15. There were a few years that I did not just care about it and I let the acne grow on my face however it wanted to because I felt helpless. But recently, I became too conscious about it, thought of giving it a try and it's been eight months since I have left dairy products(except curd), changed my moisturizer to a gel-based moisturizer which is safe for oily acne-prone skin, changed my sunscreen to oil-free, changed my pillow covers twice a week, used a gentle cleanser, consistently been applying the gel formulation combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide, started eating super healthy, avoided sugar for almost a year haven't been eating any chocolates or ice creams or super sugary fruits or pizzas or burger or junk or anything, have been trying to control my insulin spikes (I eat oats in the morning to control my insulin spike and take a bit of amla powder in the evening to fight the inflammation inside my gut, although my gut is super healthy and I don't think I have any problem in my GIT). So basically, I have been controlling everything that is a known trigger of acne for about 8 to 9 months and honestly, the frequency and number of my acne breakouts has been reduced, but I still keep getting 2 or 3 breakouts here and there and it literally ruins my face. I feel so ugly and at this point, I feel like I wanna give up and nothing can help anymore. My routine right now includes using azelaic acid in the morning as a leave-on under moisturizer and sunscreen before I wash my face with water in the evening, and adapalene under moisturizer every night. Recently I started using chemical peels, Ordinary Red one, and honestly I got great results for my hyperpigmentation, but I naively used it too much, like once in five or six days, kept about 10 minutes. My skin is oily, so I thought my barrier is okay because my skin still felt oily especially in these summers, but then later AI told me that your skin can still be barrier broken and oily at the same time, so I need to reduce my chemical peel, give my skin a break of about three or four days, and then restart the routine without the peel for a while, using only azelaic acid and adapalene in my routine, which I have been following over a month or so now. I don't know at this point how I fkin get rid of my acne. What do I do to stop it? I don't even use makeup products anymore with the fear of it causing acne. I feel so frustrated and ugly all the time.
Couldn't write it here due to a technical issue so I'm writing about the post in the comments.

So I'm shifting next week with my family and I saw an option for movers and packers 'porter' website and selected the items eg almirah wardrobe AC shoe rack storage bed etc. but I'm confused if they will also pack and move the stuff inside these items as well? Or do I have to arrange that by myself? In that case, I'm planning that if I take some time off and pack my stuff in big boxes myself then maybe I can just book a big truck with 2-3 laborers (saw this option at the same porter website too) instead of paying for packing everything bc at the end only we know how to pack/unpack our stuff. Will that work? Any recommendations are welcomed in the comments.
