Some things that I’m loving atm.
Shows
Euphoria– Everyone knows it. Everyone loves it. I am very late to the party but I just started watching this show right in time for season 2! New episodes are being released every week. The show tackles the teenage landscape of substance-enhanced parties and anxiety-ridden day-to-day life. 86% 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes
The Sex Lives of College Girls – Four roommates navigate their new freedom on the prestigious campus of Essex College. I just started watching this show as well & it is hilarious. I love all of the quirky characters and their misadventures. Takes me back to my uni days. 🥲 97% 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes
WWII in Colour – Apparently we learned about WWII in grade 10 history class, but I thought it was so boring that I blacked out that entire semester lol. I always felt bad about my lack of education on the topic but I figured I’m just not into wartime history and accepted that as fact. Well, let me tell you that I was wrong. I loved every minute of this show. If you’re avoiding learning about this topic like I was, you should give this a chance. ⚠️Trigger warning: the visuals are real footage from the war, so there are a lot of graphic images and dead bodies. The last 2 episodes cover the holocaust and the atomic bombings in Japan. I cried and had some post-anxiety but honestly, I think it’s necessary to feel really intense emotions about events of this gravity. 8.7/10 ⭐️ IMDB
Games
Genshin Impact – In case you’ve been living under a rock: Genshin is an action RPG anime-style open-world game with an action-based battle system using elemental magic and character-switching. I first downloaded it when it was released in the fall of 2020 and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. My old phone (iPhone XR) couldn’t handle the game graphics and so I upgraded to the iPhone 13 Pro Max just so that I could play it lol. Totally worth it. I’m still amazed that a massive beautiful game like this can be played on a mobile phone. Will always be a favourite. 🔫 9.0/10 IGN
Borderlands 2 – A first-person shooter game that features a loot system capable of generating numerous combinations of weapons and other gear. It was released in 2012 but the graphics and gameplay hold up really well and it doesn’t really feel dated at all. My boyfriend and I already played through borderlands 3 together and we were looking for something else to play while we wait for the next instalment (Tiny Tina’s wonderland) to be released on March 22, 2022. 🔫 9.0/10 IGN
Products
✨ Calgon Ageless Bath Exfoliating Mineral Scrub
✨Salicylic Acid Lotion for Rough & Bumpy Skin, Vitamin D & Hyaluronic Acid Lotion
Why do beauty products have such ridiculously long names? Anyway…
Winter is not friendly to my skin. Every year the skin on my arms and legs gets dull and bumpy, but this year everything is different. For the past couple of months, I have been using the exfoliating scrub all over my body in the shower every day, followed by the lotion as soon as I get out. My skin is so soft & smooth. I feel like a dolphin. 🐬 I am going to repurchase them for the rest of my life.
