How's you guys' days going?

I just had a phone interview, and I thought it went really well. which sucks, because it's really going to feel shitty when I don't get the job, but it's also impossible for me not to think about it and hope, you know?

I hate job searches

Hey, at least you got an interview! Congrats, and best of luck.

I've been job hunting for months, desperately trying to escape my toxic horrible job, and I haven't gotten a single interview. Seriously depressed.

Thank you! It's actually the second interview for this position (first was with the recruiter, this was the hiring manager, next would be in-person) and it's something that I'm genuinely qualified for, but that has a tendency not to matter, so here's hoping.

Good luck with your search! It really is an awful, awful experience and I can't blame anyone for being depressed. hugs if wanted.

Job hunting is the worst. It's just constant ups and downs and frustrations. Good luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for the job!

Meh. I'm hungry but everything I want to eat is unhealthy, so I'm just...not eating. But then I get dizzy and cranky, so I know I eventually need to eat but everything in the kitchen is either too much work or blah. Being an adult without a private chef is hard. :\

Other than that, the day's been alright.

I've been lightheaded all day but I have no convenient food onhand.

I've mostly stopped buying super convenient food in an effort to force myself to make my own dinners and eat healthier. On days like this I curse past!me and my healthy plans.

Just started importing my LJ. Who knows how long it will take. I also have separate LJs for food/cooking stuff and writing stuff because...I thought I needed them separate instead of just using tags like a normal person.

I'm trying to decide if I want to import them all to my main DW or maintain the separate entities. Hey - I could probaby just check the FAQ, but in case anyone knows: For a while at least, it seemed LJ's MO was to only show the past 20 or so entries attached to a tag (which kind of defeated the purpose o tagging). Does DW do that? Or if I tag 100 things with a tag will I always be able to see everything under that tag if I click it?

Pretty good. Seeing my abs and feeling stronger these days.

Just have to get my skin in control >_< I had the flu and skipped washing my face, which is a huge mistake because it's that sensitive that I've now been tackling the breakouts for a couple of weeks. I just didn't have any energy.

Curious, what do you do for skin care? This past year has been hell on my skin for some reason and I'm trying to moisturize at night and wash and balance more, but nothing seems to help. :( I don't wear make-up or anything, but ugh my face is awful and idk what to do.

I use products I fell in love with when I was in Japan! So if I run out here in Canada, I go to T&T (supermarket with products from various parts of Asia). I think Japan and Korea are considered to have top skincare, depending on who you ask.

My skin type: Combination / dehydrated
Face wash: Whip Premium (http://www.ebay.com/itm/F-S-Made-in-Japan-Whip-premium-Face-Wash-Cleansing-foam-155g-/252227155778)
• does not dry my face/t-zone, which I learned is important in knowing whether or not a face wash is right for you
• it's supposed to be a foam, but it comes out as a thick wash, so you only need barely a drop on your wet hand because it rubs very nicely. My last one lasted a year!

Exfoliator: Cure Natural Aqua Gel (https://www.amazon.ca/Cure-Natural-Aqua-8-82-Japan/dp/B001ABLKK2)
• a godsend! This isn't a scrub, it's a chemical exfoliator, which means your dead skin comes off due to a reaction. it sounds heavy-duty, but it's not. it's made mostly from water and is extremely gentle, I don't feel a thing, and that's the point of it.
• I use it on my legs too! it works so well, the skin just rolls off. kinda gross, but pretty neat

Toner: Hada Labo Goku-jun Hyaluronic Acid (https://www.amazon.ca/Rohto-Hadalabo-Gokujyn-Hyaluronic-Lotion/dp/B00BSNBO9O)
• this feels so nice on my skin - it's thicker than a usual toner, but I like to put it on a cotton pad and dab my face with it before I moisturize. I feel like it really works well together with my moisturizer

Face mask: Kose Clear Turn White Vitamin C Facial Mask Sheets (https://www.amazon.com/Kose-Clear-Vitamin-Facial-Sheets/dp/B000FP46FU)
• honestly, I think anything with a vitamin c serum works just fine, doesn't have to be this specific one. I do like that they are cloth masks and that they are packaged separately (more sanitary - which is important when dealing with skincare) and they are overloaded with serum. there's so much serum that I like to keep the package each mask was in, put it in my fridge, and use the remaining serum on cotton pads that I can just stick all over my face

Moisturizer: Hada Labo Rohto Goku-jun Hyaluronic Milky Lotion (https://www.amazon.com/Hada-Labo-Goku-jun-Hyaluronic-Lotion/dp/B00BS3Q0XE)
• it took me forever to find a good lotion that hydrates my dehydrated skin, but also doesn't leave anything behind for my sensitive skin to break out
• this is very gentle, but also quite hydrating. It's a solid white colour, which usually scares me, but it isn't a thick cream; in fact, it's a bit translucent and thin. I really like this stuff

Sorry for the tl;dr ^^; I hope this helps though!!

You probably already posted somewhere about it, but what are you doing to tone your abs/get stronger? Also, what's your motivation routine (When you're feeling lazy/too busy)?

I'm currently pushing myself to do some choreography videos/dance exercise videos (danced on Sunday, hatha yoga Monday, nothing yesterday, dance exercise + a little choreo today), but it's hard to maintain the habit/ build it in the first place.

Thanks and huzzah!

When it comes to the appearance of my abs, I just watch what I eat. My arms and torso are the first places I lose weight and the last places I gain, so if my abs are hiding behind a sheet of fat, I can give myself a week of eating well and generally staying pretty active, and they'll come back to me.

I can't stand working out! But I do love balancing and stretching, so I'm a huge fan of yoga and pilates. I find I strengthen a lot while balancing with yoga, even doing planks (actually, my left wrist used to crack nonstop whenever I moved it in circles, and planking has strengthened my wrists enough to help that a lot!), and pilates has been kind to my shape (my ass is more round + my waist hasn't straightened out the way it would if I stuck to sit-ups or running)

As for motivation... it's totally unreliable. I just make sure that I don't 'try' to do it; I just do it. Even if I'm busy, if I can find time to sneak in a yoga pose or pilates counts, I'll totally do it. There are a lot of things that can be done with a limited amount of space too. And hey, even if I feel lazy, I can still find a pilates work out for my thighs and butt while grinding on Final Fantasy, which is my kind of workout lmao

And I have a bad back, especially my lower (pulled a ligament a few years ago), so I actually need to be at least stretching every day, so I always make time for that. I just stretch out that time when I can to make room for more stretches and more workouts.

I'm also going to start rock climbing soon! I would definitely help me in working out my back. And, like I said, I really hate working out, but rock climbing would give me a goal. So I think that will be fun!

I hope I was helpful to you, anon!

Horribly. I hate my job and I can't wait until I quit.

:(

I'm sorry to hear that Kaijin, that super sucks

I'm working my ass off to try and finish this uni assignment by tomorrow, but also today I've got a date to go see BatB with someone pretty so that's nice.

You got this, anon!!!

Also, good on you for the BatB date, enjoy yourself!

Tired, and the supermarket didn't have brioche. On the other hand, spicy chicken wings were on special.

No brioche? Can't you eat cake instead?

Ever have one of those days where you wake up and you just know this will not be a productive day? I am having one of those.

Something is clearly wrong. I've been in agony since last night. I've been on the depo-prevova birth control shot for 8 months now (meaning I've had 3 shots). And until now it has done wonders. My pain became manageable.

Suddenly, last night, I was in agony. It was like the pain I used to get before the shots, before the pill, before surgery, before anything I've tried. Back, right front, whole vagina in agony. Barely able to get out of bed.

So I call my gynecologist. She can't see me until May 5. WTF? And she won't prescribe me anything. She did have me come in to give a urine sample, suggesting she thinks the answer is a UTI. But still, come on, I'm in so much pain I'm throwing up. Your nurse saw me bent over in the chair in your lobby. I get that painkiller addiction is a thing, but I'm very clearly not faking it. I'm maxing out on naproxen and ibuprofin and they are doing nothing. I've got three heating pads on various parts. What else am I supposed to do? Doesn't this sound a little urgent to you?

D: anon can you go to a hospital or something? maybe you have the...the big ulcer thing or something similar, that doesn't sound good! D:
