nw-passage replied to your post “Fuck this is hard. I know it’s supposed to be but I really feel like...”

honestly i am so impressed that you decided to go back after all this time i think it was very brave and commendable and i hope your thesis comes together for you!

Thank you! This means a lot! I’m hoping it does too. If I can’t pull it together in time I mean, I can still graduate in August, or December, I just really WANT to do it in May (plus I already registered for graduation, took time off work, family might show up?!). 

I think I went back because it started to feel really sad saying I didn’t finish just shy of the thesis, and because I’m making loan payments that are partially for a degree I don’t have since I had already finished coursework, but now it definitely feels like a thing to conquer!

Have you tried glossier? Thoughts?

Not yet! I’m interested in the Balm Dotcom bc I’m me. I’m pretty sure it’s just going to be another fancy version of vaseline, the texture and ingredients list look suspiciously similar to Air Repair’s rescue balm except unlike Air Repair (which has a base of oil and lanolin), Glossier’s is petroleum based, although it does have beeswax and lanolin as its third and fourth ingredients so I have enough hope of it being unique to eventually buy it probs. (I’ve had the best luck with beeswax based potted balms; relatedly, NUXE Rêve de Miel is on sale rn.)

Nothing else from ~phase 1~ really looks my speed; the base is too liquid-y, the moisturizer too moisturizing, and the mist too expensive. I haven’t gone too deep in reviews of it though so if y’all try it lmk, tag me in your reviews, I like to keep abreast of these things.
