Late lunch in Serbia
My take on a French omelette with a side of tomatoes. It’s literally my first time trying it so it’s really not the best. I also added inside peppers fried with olive oil and cheese.
Rate my night routine!
This has been my routine for the last 6 months I think. Everything is Korean except fo the salycilic acid and the tretinoin.
I use the products in order as they are in the picture.
- Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil. - Love this one. It not too oily, spread really well and removes my SPF and makeup (when I wear it) really well. The only thing is that is does have a strong ginseng smell and some people might not like that. My fiance accidentally dropped the bottle and broke the top.
- Haruharu wonder Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel - Love this one also. I'm on my second bottle. Very gentle, which for me is great because I use 0.1% tretinoin and I sometimes add the salicylic acid serum so it can get a bit dry so I love that this one is not stripping. It does remove everything great. If I forget to use SPF or if I don't go out in the sun and I dont wear it, I just use this one without the oil cleanser and it's awesome.
- Revox 2% Salicylic Acid. I use it 2-3x per day on my T-zone because I get sebasious fillaments. I also dont use it always. Maybe for like 2-3 weeks, then I don't for months until my pores get clogged again.
- Tretinoin 0.1% - I use this every night, all year round. I put it first, even thought it's a cream, because I don't want anything else to interfere with the effectivness.
- Beauty of Joseon Revive Serum: Ginseng + Snail Mucin - Pretty good for hydration, which is why I primarily bought it. it's my third time buying it, doesn't have a smell, it not too watery but not completely like a serum, something in between. One downside, it does stain fabric which is that I found out after I was wearing white shirts to sleep and noticed that the area around the neck got brown haha.
- Tirtir Milk Skin Toner. - A milky toner, but it's not very thick, it's more watery. It is heavier than the previous one but I hydrates my skin well and it does dry out pretty quickly, doesn't leave a sticky feeling. It does have 5% niacinamide so if you're sensitive to it, I wouldn't use it. I repuchased it for the third time.
- Skin1004 Probio-Cica Bakuciol Eyecream - I wouldn't buy it again, at the end of the day, for me, eyecream is just a fancy moisturizer with a higher price that I don't think you really need because you can just use your regular one for that. Plus, I don't know if the Bakuciol works because I haven't noticed any special changes. I was in a mood for spending money and I wanted to try it out but it's not gonna stay in my routine.
- Aestura Atoberrier 365 Cream - I bought it two weeks ago when I used up my old one, and I can say i really do like it. It's not thick and heavy on the skin but it does moisturize really well because and that's something I really need because of the tret and the salicylic acid. I would definitely buy it again.
I would like to hear your comments on what you think! Also, if anyone know any other recs for the cleansers and other moisturizers, I'd love to try out new products.
Anything I can do more for my new ficus benjamina?
So two weeks ago I got a new plant, specifically a ficus benjamina natasja (it also says jute next to it but I don't really understand what it means haha).
Now, I know they like to get fussy and drop leaves, especailly if they are moved or something is not to their liking. I've put it on a south-east facing window and I have not moved it at all since getting it. I waterd it a week after getting it because the soil I got it in was slightly damp so I didn't want to overwater it. I check it with my finger and it was dry.
We do use an AC in our appartment because it's very hot, but I put it in a room that AC doesn't reach directly to. We have a fan, but it works for maybe 10min at a time, and it blows away from the plant.
My question is, should I be doing something more? It was very green but now almost half of the leaves are yellow. It's also my first ficus, so far I've owned just scucculents.
I wanted to repot it but I didn't want to upsed it further haha.
Should I maybe add some fertilizer next time I water it?
Can I in anyway propage this aloe vera?
Is there a way to propagate this aloe vera? Im new to plants and I think I made a mistake by repotting my aloe vera and didnt check if the new soil was too wet and it ended up with my plant rotting, well the root of my plant rotting. Is there anyway I could maybe use something from what i have to propagate it? Thanks!
First time playing and I have some questions
Hi everybody! So, this is my first time playing ANY Final Fantasy game, never played any game before so this one is my first introduction to the franchise. Of course, I've heard of it, I knew some of the characters beforehand but nothing else.
I'm on my first playthrough and I had a couple of questions. Should I bother to focus on making the best weapon build for each characters and finding all of the weapons and materia, leveling up etc? Or should I just focus on the gameplay and story instead? I've reached chapter 13 and I have to say, I've struggled with some boss fights, it took me a long time to beat some of them. I wonder is it maybe it's because I haven't leveld up enough, choose the right weapons etc? Or it should be that way? Is there an ideal level you should be by now or weapon you should choose?
ALSO. Is there a story before that I should know about, or maybe a game I should play? I've looked up some things online and some people say the stories are not really connected so it doesn't matter which game I play first. But the things they show, makes me think that there's more to the story/lore that I should know about, especially the characters.
Thanks!
Closeness to the storage/granary
So I have a question regarding the closeness to the granary/storage. I just recently came back to the game and I can't remember how it was before, but... What needs to be closer to the granary/storage in order to work effectively? Does it apply to everything that needs to use stuff from there or maybe things just like sawpits, bloomery, basically the industry part of the game? Sorry, English is not my first language so I'm not sure I'm phrasing this correctly.
For example, does the tailor shop also need to be close to it? Do the burgage plots need to be closer to the granaries or to the market?
List of updates?
Is there a list of all the updates and imporvement that has happened in the past year? I've recently came back into the game after not playing for a year and I'm wondering if I can find something like that, I'd like to see what has changed.
About the school update
I know there's a big school update coming. I'm wondering, were there any mentions of addings stuff to all the schools (elementary/highschool/uni) or just like highschool? It would be nice if they also expand on the uni since I don't even send mine to uni since it doesn't have any impact on further gameplay. But, tbf, I don't really TRY with children/adolescents/teens at school because it doesn't really impact anything.
Zois going to the wardarobes FURTHEST away from thier beds is driving me crazy!
Is there a mod that stops this? Like, I can't, it's the one thing that drives me nuts. One of my Zoi's bed is on the second floor and she goes ALL THE WAY DOWN to the ground floor to the wardarobe to change, even though there is one in her room. Like sure, I'll delete all the wararobes, but that's not the point haha.
I've looked through the mods in the game itself but I either missed it or there isn't one.
Game crashing after turning on SmartZoi
Does anyone have this problem? My GPU is AMD 9070xt, CPU is Ryzen 5 9600x and I have 32gb ram. I used to work before, but now it just gets stuck and the game crashes completely.
Nannies and maids
I don’t know if it was mentioned (I didnt see) but were there mentions of adding hiring maids regularly and also nannies? I get fed up with cleaning house and taking care of the many kids I have haha.
My family tree
I've been playing this one for almost a year. There aren't many members int he family tree since I did have breaks from playing the game for a couple of months.
The oldest son's (Matthias) first wife died so he remarried He has one son with his first wife and one with his new wife (Noelle).
The oldest daughter (Stella) is about to get a divorce because the husband is helping absolutely nothing when it comes to the kids and the home.
The second oldest (Victor) is a playboy, has four kids with four different women and he doesn't plan to settle down, he also has a crush on his older brother's wife. He is very messy because he has kids with two sisters.
Levi (the 3rd son) managed to get a girl of his dreamsm finally, after MANY rejections. They just moved out.
Lorenzo is planning to be a professional athlete and Lily, the baby of the family, doesn't want to get married or have kids, she wants to pursue art. She does, however, have a crush on Noelle's younger brother.
I have a washer and dryer in one (couldn't fit both in my bathroom) and I wonder, how often do you clean it (and how?)? Specifically, the rubber around the opening where a lot of lint and fabric leftovers? I clean it probably like 2-3 times per week with my fingers because it's kinda hard to remove it with a rag. Also, there is like a fold in the rubber that I have to kinda open to also remove the lint and fabrid also. How do you clean that part? The rest I just wipe down with a cleaning agent and wipe it down. Once a month a do a deep clean.
