why is a cat in your lap an absurd luxury?

Washing my hands, I use a $1 bottle of dollar store soap, feels pretty luxurious (I’m a broke university student and my codormatory had no soap before I bought it don’t judge).

I once bought an electric hand dryer for the “office” bathroom in my house.

People have no idea how fortunate this is until it’s gone. Several years ago we had a bad algae bloom in the river that supplies our water and we couldn’t drink it for a couple weeks. Every store in town was out of water and you had people with well water leaving hoses and signs out front of their house offering it up to people. One Pilot gas station tried scalping 6 packs of Dasani for ~$50. It’s so crazy how you take it for granted until you can’t just go to the sink to fill up a cup of water (we have excellent tap water) along with taking for granted the fact that stores have bottled water on the shelves.

Ever since then we’ve kept a small stock pile of water in the garage just in case.

Thanks, i sould appreciate it more. Tap water in switzerland is maybe even healthier as bottled water.

Day AND night moisturizer for my face and eyes feels pretty absurd and with inflation over the last four years is entering what I consider to be luxury territory for my budget.

But, I love taking care of my skin and looking nice, and my face feels amazing after applying the moisturizer, so whatever.

My day regimen is:

Neutrogena Mens 3-in-1 Face Lotion and RoC eye cream

Night regimen is:

IFUDOIT Retinol Cream and Era Organics Eye Cream

And I keep a bottle of Ceravie with 30 SPF on my desk to use when I take the dogs out for walks. It works really well if you’re consistent. I am in my 40’s but get mistaken for early 30’s all the time.

Can it be biological? I’m approaching 40 and I’ve been asked to show ID buying alcohol until I got fed up and grew some beard… I don’t use this kind of products, I’m happy to live with just soap and shampoo and when it’s reeeeeealy hot outside and I just need to go out for long period of time I use whatever sunscreen I can find.
