Perfect days

This movie is boring as fuck but can’t stop thinking about it since I saw it a few weeks ago

🍿

Watching movies not on a phone or laptop

I used to think that I purely hated most of the new stuff that comes out because it’s all bad, but apparently that is only half true.. I found out when I got a tv that I had just been consuming movies and shows on my phone in my bed like that one wojak meme, which sucks and is sad. Watching on an actual tv has made the experience way better

💄

Weleda skin food

The lip balm is good too. I’ve been putting it on the high points of my face and now people finally take me seriously
