i wanted to mention the ordinary as well but i see girlfrank has been faster. seconded. love their products.

girlfrank replied to your video

Ah, you ARE familiar with The Ordinary then! Have you tried them?

I totally forgot to mention them. I just finished their Vitamin C serum and it was really great! Definitely worth trying it out.

ingredient wise, la mer really d oesn't have any justification for their price tag...

true,which is exactly why i keep buying my moisturiser at the drugstore - you can still find great formulations at a low price

i guess part of the price comes from the “luxurious experience” feel or something like that

the last question deserves an essay

You are definitely right -  it’s a topic one could extensively research and still not reach any answer, but it would be interesting nevertheless

where do you find pumpkin puree in switzerland? :)

We have quite the Americans expat population, so we have two small American supermarkets in town. They’re very practical.

although the cashmere jumper i got there last year was fantastic

Ooh, well that’s a good sign! The last time I tried their cashmere in a sweater (I have gotten scarves and they’ve been A+) was a few years ago, so maybe they’ve changed their quality!

11 questions

I’ve been tagged by @softclary and am taking a break from Petrarch/Italian humanism/defining The Middle Ages so WHY NOT. I’ve no idea how this tag works and don’t really want to think up 11 questions so I’ll just answer the ones here. 

would you be more likely to bake muffins, cake, or biscuits? Cake I suppose, I did used to try to bake muffins sometimes but they’d always turn out to be variations of weird/bad bread.

choose a word you like/think represents you from another language. why? voorpret Dutch for ‘pre-fun’, the sense of enjoyment before before a party of event takes place. Because anticipation is always better than the actual thing. 

how do you decorate your room? There’s a bookshelf, a map of Australia, some posters, postcards, calendars, a floor lamp, my desk, and a chair with too many clothes on it. 

recommend a fic. it has been far too long since I read any, but I remember a few choice Dramoine ones that I can’t find anymore for the life of me. 

what design do you really want on a hoodie? I wouldn’t mind a dark grey with: plain in the front, and a massive eye on the bad.

what mythical creature would you like as a pet? a phoenix so I could spontaneously combust and then ASCEND FROM MY OWN ASHES BETTER THAN EVER.

tell me about the last book you read. Louise O’Neill’s ‘Asking for It’. It was a fictional exploration and pretty confronting exploration of rape culture. Really interesting, not for the faint hearted.

when do you usually eat dinner? When The Project is on (haha) so around about 6:30-7:30pm.

which fandom’s characters would you most like to see in a sitcom? I don’t understand the question.

are you a summer or winter person? autumn/spring... 

are you saving up for anything right now? if so, what? half-heartedly saving up for exchange kind of but not really

I’m tagging @gayusoctgayvius, @writingletterstoshakespeare, and @petrichorals if they would like to :)
