Decomposer's posts

12 lavender/14 roses

I have 0 currency so far. Gotta get posting.

I added the finishing touches on my new avatar today.
I didn't have the volts I needed for commons and was too lazy to post, but I got what I needed in the daily prize.

I love it! Where'd you get it? Because I kinda want it for myself now lol.

I haven't been active on Roliana in years, but it was the second avatar site I joined (out of many more to come lol), so it's still sad news to hear it's closing.

I want to learn to play bass guitar.
I already own one, I just need take the time to practice.

I'd also like to get good at fitness and weight lifting, but like, my arms and legs are noodles.
I'm so weak. xD

One of my dogs is a corgi/rat terrier mix. He's the best.

I had really bad acne no matter what I tried until I started using the Paula's Choice acne kit.
I'd even get cystic acne, but haven't had any since it cleared up.
Now I only breakout due to hormonal changes or after trying a new product that doesn't work for me, but it's mild and easy to manage.

Instead of the full-sized kit, I started with the extra strength travel kit to test whether it worked for me.
They also have a regular strength travel kit if you don't need something that strong.
You can buy everything in the kit separately as well.
I've stopped using the exfoliant in favor of other products since my skin has cleared, but it worked great while my skin was broken out.
I only use the Daily Skin Clearing Treatment as a spot treatment since it can be drying and my skin is already dry, so it lasts forever.

I waited until my skin was clearer to start trying out new skincare products outside of the kit, since some irritated my skin further.
If you have a moisturizer that works for you then stick with it, but if you don't I'd recommend The Honest Co. Purely Simple Unscented Face & Body Lotion (I think it's technically a baby lotion, but it dries quickly, isn't greasy, and wears well under my makeup, so it's what I've been using lately) or one of Cerave's moisturizers.
I stay away from moisturizers that are made for acne prone skin unless I've checked the ingredients because they tend to have alcohols in them that aren't good for your skin, plus I find them drying.

I haven't found a sunscreen that I like enough to recommend, but you should start using one if you don't already.
Certain ingredients in skincare products can leave your skin more sensitive to UV rays, so it's extra important.

To remove makeup I use L'oreal Micellar Cleansing Water.
They have a few different formulas depending on your skin type and one for waterproof makeup.
A lot of brands have put out their own micellar water and they don't all have the same formula, so you might even be able to find something specifically for sensitive eyes/skin if you look for it.
Most that I've tried have been pretty gentle though.

I already linked to one of her videos, but maybe check out Veronica Gorgeois on Youtube.
She's an esthetician and a lot of her videos are on skincare.

And you should be using cool to lukewarm water to wash your face.
The tip someone gave about washing with warm water then rinsing with cold is outdated.

My only real New Year's Resolutions are to stop drinking so much caffeine, quit soda, and switch to coffee.
So far I've only had caffeine once on New Year's Day and I'm working on the quitting soda part now, since I've still been drinking caffeine free. The sugar is always so much harder for me to quit than caffeine.

Everything else that I'm working on as part of my New Year's Resolution I technically started a month before New Year's, so IDK if they count.

One of my best friends from high school shares those things all the time.
It annoys me to no end and sometimes I end up snoozing her for the 30 days over it.
It's almost always those "If you're my real friend you'll copy & paste this, people who don't share/don't respond aren't true friends."
Which in my opinion are the most annoying of the type of those messages, since the Facebook algorithm means a lot of people won't see it so it's not an accurate representation of "true friends" anyways.
Also it just seems kinda like begging for attention when you could message the people you want to be close with yourself instead of waiting for them to "prove their friendship" over an annoying status.

I am doing good. Just bored and lurking the internet.
Trying to decide if I wanna do anything this weekend or not.
Probably not because I'm lazy lol.

I've been binge watching King of the Hill lately.
