You know, you should really be grateful for what you have. You don’t have any worries.
This weekend is going to be one of blissful solitude, what with my whole family being out of town and minimal social activities planned. To be honest, I’m looking forward to it - I even have my Saturday all mapped out. Some morning baking, a gym sesh, some closet reorg, a quick dinner with some friends, ending off with an extended pamper routine and some #broduce101 - A perfect avenue to rest, recuperate, recharge for even the most weary introverted extrovert. As weekends are best for.
Chatting with a friend, we talked about weekend plans, and I shared the grand ol’ Saturday I had in mind. To which, she said:
“You know, you should really be grateful for what you have. You don’t have any worries.”
“I’m sorry, what?”
“It’s just that, yeah, you should be grateful. You have a very good life.”
“You know, you should really be grateful for what you have. You don’t have any worries.”

Holy bamboozlement.

Felt like a sock to the gut.
While I have been extraordinarily blessed in very many ways that I never take for granted, there is so, so, so much that weighs me down. But I am also painfully, painfully escapist and so I tend to never talk about them or face them head on.
And as I spoke about in @wearmaemae:020617, that’s why I run to shallow pleasures and hide in frivolity.

Perhaps, that’s all people see. And I’ll just have to be okay with that. Because if I actively choose Not to confront my issues and Not talk about them - how can I expect empathy? (I don’t - But I would prefer not to be belittled.)
Just because I never talk about what bothers me, doesn’t mean those things don’t exist.
And so it is.
π skincare backups π
δΎδΎδΎ let's talk about happy shiny things again. Oosh.
Let's snoop into my skincare backups/ unopened skincare, shall we?

Organized chaos.
Probably using the term 'organized' a little loosely here.
✏️ Current skincare routine: @wearmaemae:220317. Funnily enough, I don't have many backups of my current routine ζδ»ιΊΌι¬Ό

HG, ride or die bros. #fancl mild cleansing oil.
Been using this for over 10 years? So many bottles I can't count em up. Daaann.
Remember when they pulled out of Singapore?! Pepperidge farm remembers. (As do I. So every time I/ anyone I knew visited Japan or HK, I had them bring numerous bottles home.)
Now that they're back in SG, I probably don't need to stockpile like this but you know, separation anxiety.

Because I'm a hoarder, I buy multiples. And then I find other products I prefer and the multiples become neglected.
Such is the case with this innisfree cleanser, and the hada labo one too. (I religiously use #cosrx and #cerave now!)
Thankfully, Rascalπ isn't picky about skincare so they'll still get used up. Eventually...

SEE. HOARDING Clarisonic brush heads. I don't even use the clarisonic anymore?! (I use the foreo now, but only about once a week.) No need to replenish brush heads or charge it as often ππ»ππ»ππ»
And #drbronners magic soap. My fave soap for brush and sponge cleansing! And they last foreverrrrr.

#theordinary niacinimide, that I've used up before but have stopped using for now because I've just introduced tretinoin into my routine.
And maaany bottles of t3 mycin gel! This is my zit treatment of choice and again, it's been upwards of 10 years since I've started using it.
I remember being prescribed it when I was younger by the national skin center! Then, turns out you need a prescription for it so it was quite hard to procure.

So every time I/ anyone I know goes to Malaysia. A pharmacy visit to pick up these babies are a must.

Ended my night and started my Saturday at V's with some friends, some gin, and some "would you rather's".
❓"Would you rather dispense any condiment of your choice from your nipples or replace your nose with a working 3-pin plug?"
❓"Would you cut off your baby toe for $10,000?"
❓"Would you chop off (insert spouse's name)'s toe for $50,000??"
❓"Would you cut off (insert myriad of body parts) from (self/spouse) for (insert ludicrous amount?"

❓"Would you cut off (insert myriad of body parts) from (self/spouse) for (insert ludicrous amount?"
In depth conversations about utility of body parts over uproarious laughter were had.
‼️ "Babe just let them have your toe la it's useless!!"
"WAH LAO OF COURSE YOU SAY THAT NOT YOUR TOE MA"
"Let them have my toe too!! More money!!!"
And the next one had us all rolling...

And the next one had us all rolling...
⁉️ If each toe of your spouse was worth $1,000,000 - how many would you cut off?
Without a moment's hesitation, J says:
"4! 2 on each foot!"
"WAH B HOW I BALANCE?! And how to wear slippers???"
.......
"Cut off 2nd and 4th toe of both feet, keep them equal. Can balance! And.... just wear sliders instead of flip flops!!"

HAHAHAH.
Disdained looks were dispensed. Spouses thrown mercilessly under the bus of hypothesis.
Most of us were quite willing to sacrifice each other, except for the newest couple (6 months and understandably madly in love) who vehemently said no to all.
New love, ain't it pretty π
We all said "NVM ASK YOU IN 3 YEARS YOU SURE CHOP OFF HER TOE!!!!"

It was a good night.
