sunscreen all year round, no matter the season. can't go out during the day without it. i love japanese sunscreens – fave brands: skin aqua, canmake, nivea japan. bioré's good too, but they don't have any fragrance-free option (i prefer skincare without fragrance).
other sun protective stuff i can't live without: sunglasses, hat, jacket, umbrella. call me extra or paranoid, but skin cancer is no joke. and where i live the uv index gets extreme

i’ve been wearing sunscreen almost every day for a decade at this point and it’s genuinely an essential for me, even if i’m not spending any or much time outside. i’ve tried a LOT of sunscreens and my go-to’s always end up being korean sunscreens (the isntree hyaluronic acid water sun gel and beauty of joseon relief sun aqua-fresh sunscreen are my all time favorites).

I feel like most people are good about this but I have been shocked a few times by people my age and younger that don't wear it!? Protect your skin!! Beyond a medical reason you don't want to look like an old saddlebag in 30 years. I like the beauty of joseon products, they have a couple of different spf products that are nice

i live where it's sunny and the top of my head always gets burnt on my hair part! i look ~just ok~ in hats so i had to find a solution and this powder sunscreen came into my life and it's changed the game. tap tap tap the spf dust on the head and I'm out and about drinking daytime aperol spritzes fully protected. you could prob use on other body parts too, but i just used it for my head. no residue, just vibes.

last night i had a heart-to-heart with a friend/co-worker about our strained friendship. we’d been distancing ourselves from each other for the past year because of some misunderstandings. it made me sad for a while, especially since i was struggling with mental health, so losing a friend felt like a punch in the solar plexus. but then i came to terms with the possibility that we might never talk again, but this acceptance was not out of resentment, just the realization that some friends are not meant to be close friends.
but it all changed yesterday. we didn’t even plan to have that talk, it just came out organically during a casual chat after a long period of no real conversations, just the occasional forced small talk since we see each other at work all the time. this time we talked for hours, like we used to before our falling out, and eventually addressed the elephant in the room. we both realized that we had unknowingly done things that made each other feel unseen and hurt in the past, so we apologized and forgave each other. i’m really glad that we had a heart-to-heart where we could be honest about our feelings without being defensive or blaming each other. it was all about understanding one another, acknowledging our shortcomings, learning from our mistakes, and taking accountability for our actions.
having a heart-to-heart is special. navigating a conflict is uncomfortable, but it’s an opportunity for growth and deeper connection.
