A lot of you subscribed to last post I made  and also here. I got tons of messages asking to share updates here.

So here are 3-4 days of experience with the product. I haven't noticed any difference so far, but that is to expected since arata themselves claim it takes a while to show results. It causes a slight tingle on the scalp for me, so I suppose that's something. I am applying it every day in the evening for now so I can let my scalp get used to it I suppose.

Let me know if you have any questions. I will do my best to answer. I was questioning myself posting a picture of my scalp here but we'll see. I haven't ever done that so I feel paranoid.

The image here should serve as a baseline.

I've been coming to terms with so many of you subscribing to last post I made here. I got tons of messages asking to share updates here.

How long after your minoxidil gains started showing?

Context: I have been using min and fin for a while now but unfortunately it has not proven to be effective for me, (i am assuming i am one of those whom minoxidil has no effect on) and now I have lost so many hair my scalp is visible now. I have been seeking reviews for arata mitoactive but since it is new there are no reviews, so I thought "fine... I'll do it myself".

What's more is that the active ingredient for this (y100) has been on the market for quite some time but couldn't find reviews for that either. Apparently it has had clinical trials and has shown efficacy as far as I know.

Arata launched this recently I guess. I have used their curl cream previously and it has worked well for me and my sisters using the arata products haven't had any complaints so I'm gonna assume they know better about hair care than me (they do) and trust their judgement.

I'll be using using the prod and report here.

I thought might as well add the study of the ingredient or method, a fellow redditor found this : https:// pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13448373/

Edit 2: grammer

I have recently started earning good amounts of money (touchwood) and I kind of have been waiting for some money on my end to actually start taking care of myself. With that said, I am finally putting together a basic daily setup for the office/evenings and introducing some order to my chaos:

• Watch: Casio G-shock dw5600 - Keeping it simple, functional and durable, also an EDC. I am planning on getting a nicer seiko automatic
• Skincare: Minimalist Salicylic Acid, adapalene, spf 50 sunscreen from dot&key - Finally taking my skin seriously.
• Scent: fikn Fame Elixir - Got this in my beginner haul. Surprisingly solid, dark evening scent. Way better than generic deodorants, as well as zara blue temptation, I have some cheapies as well
• Hair: Please suggest, I have curly hair which I am loosing fast lol
• I basically have very little fashion sense and knowledge and I would appreciate some advice on general casual office attire, I don't trust ai with that sort of thing, please suggest a starting point.

It’s basic, but it’s a start. What else am I missing for a proper 20-something grooming routine?
Any tips before I start putting everything together?

I'm watching this awesome show for the first time. Ngl s04 has been the best so far (pls don't spoil)

Hey guys, following up on my post from last week. The last two bottles of my beginner haul finally got delivered.

Still trying to figure out what kind of scent profiles I actually like, so I tested these out over the weekend. Here are my very subjective noob first impressions:

1. Zara Blue Temptation I wanted at least one safe, fresh "blue" scent. It’s on the pricier side for a beginner budget, but it smells really good, very clean, kind of a shower gel/citrus vibe, I feel like I have taken a bath just smelling this lol. It’s impossible to offend anyone with this, and the performance is actually pretty solid on my skin. I'm going to cycle it with others in my collection for various purposes and see what fits where.

I remember a time where people used to fight over this brand now has seemed to slip into a bit of irrelevance. I just don't hear about it often anymore

2. Fikin 'Thrill' Elixir Their' bottle from my last post was decent, I took a blind gamble on this one too. Honestly, the opening is a bit spicy and fruity/sweet. It takes about 15-20 minutes to calm down into a dark, smoky scent.

Word of warning: do not wear this in the daytime heat. I wore it out in the sun and humidity it was a bit unpleasant to say the least. But I wore it again at night in the AC and it’s actually a really solid, rich scent. Longevity is decent, getting me about 4-5 hours on clothes before it fades. The bottle is nice though.

I'll be stopping the spend for now and see how these perform, any tips?

POST UPDATED ISSUE RESOLVED I think it had to do with windows being finicky, I had to reinstall full windows and then debloat it, and reinstall all drivers.

Re9 is running well at 60fps ray tracing off and many of the settings at ultra. Fucking unbelievable

Specs:

Ryzen 7 7435HS

24GB DDR5 4800MT/S RAM

RTX 4060

512GB SSD

Settings:

All settings are medium to high with ray tracing set to normal

DLSS 2X Frame gen on, DLSS upscaling set to performance

Running at 1080P frames capped at 30FPS for consistent performance

I'm barely getting 15 fps in leon section even with ray tracing off and running game at 720P

All drivers and everything's up to date

Had an accident a while back (I'm ok)

The watch ticks and functions normally, the display is gone it looks like there are cracks on the inside. I would like to repair it myself if I can get the parts, can anyone please help me source the parts and any direction required for the repair? Would really appreciate any help.

This is a pretty expensive watch to me, I'm poor af.

He's supposed to be outside but video call shows curtains inside the room. Thought it was funny and worth sharing not sure if a lot of people noticed
