Ooooooo girl that’s pretty af!!! 😍😍 I adore the shine and how stark they are! Ooo I know they’re phenomenal irl!
I just use Sally Hansen top coat lol. There’s a clear one in a red bottle, and I also have SH’s 130 Bejewel top coat which I use if my base coat is a solid colour. I find the clear one dries harder and is more resilient, than the 130 insta-dry. It’s always so hard when buying a new one, I get decision paralysis.
I think pairing Reflection Pool with a dark undercoat (I reckon a dark forest green would be amazing with RP as a top coat) is the way to go.
I get impatient waiting for them to dry as well tbh, but found it dries quicker if I do multiple thin coats and build up colour that way. One nail always gets globbed with too much though and I have to redo it ha it’s the benefit of being unemployed: I can just paint and wait all day for them to dry. I’ll have to relegate it to a weekend only activity when I get all employed again lol

Feels good to have healthy long nails. And I feel like I’ve discovered a hack for holographic nails (like Holo Taco), using just Sally Hansen polish from Chemist Warehouse 😂
Two coats of 124 Amethyst Allure, and one coat of 450 Reflection Pool, then a clear top coat.
The picture can’t really capture how cool it looks tbh, and it’s under my yellow bathroom lights. it looks like a light blue from one angle and a dark purple from another, and the glitter adds such a pretty depth to it. I feel like I’m wearing a $50 bespoke nail polish from some artisan in Spain or smth, instead of the total $20 I spent total on the 2x SH polish and top coat while it was on sale lol

Yeah, I went into it blind so it was quite… Something. It’s told really well though, but it’s fucking BRUTAL.
I looked it up last night and apparently it’s based on an Indonesian legend of the Ungrateful Child (basically, boy raised by single mum in fishing village, leaves to make money and doesn’t return for years. Turns up as an adult super wealthy, but pretends he doesn’t know who she is. So on his ship home, a storm happens and turns him into stone. Basically, respect your parents and what they’ve done for you, otherwise you could become the Ungrateful Child). I think they adapted it really well, but it isn’t my culture so perhaps there are things I’m missing.
But yes, I was NOT expecting it dive into the topics it did.

Media realised they get clicks and money when they “discuss” issues like this. When a company does something gross, it’s because of money ultimately.
And the uneducated get caught up in it, because it gives them someone to point their fingers at and blame, “migrants are stealing our jobs”, “illegal immigration!” (No such thing. There’s people who come here “illegally” but then they wouldn’t migrants), “the woke left are giving jobs to gasp non-white people, race traitors!” Etc etc so on and so forth. It helps them not have to interrogate their own life choices, or see how the education system let them slip through the cracks. Because in reality, it isn’t migrants or the left wing hurting them, it’s their own parties they support. But they’re so caught up in the blame game, it’s easier to blame something tangible (like a demographic) over something intangible (like a company).

Renewed my Shudder subscription, mainly so I can rewatch Dragula seasons 💅
Watched two films last night, strangely both tackling similar themes but with their own distinct framing. Was surprised both random films turned out great!
The first film I watched was *sMOTHERed* (2025).
An Indonesian film about a successful artist in Jakarta, his college professor wife, and his mum visiting from the village she lives in. This film really surprised me, because I kept thinking it was going in one direction for it then throw more loops and curve balls. It went to some very, very dark places near the end but handled it so well, and from the perspective of a culture I don’t belong to.
5/5 hobbits, do recommend but be mindful of the last half hour, because while it felt cohesive with the story it is telling, it was still a shock to me even.
The second film is called *Other* (2025).
I thought this would be a creature feature, and it kinda is, but the depth of story they give it and the MC is crazy good. I can’t really say much without spoiling it heavily, but it is phenomenal. You only ever see the MCs face, every other characters face is obscured; tying in perfectly with the monster only ripping people’s faces off. Bits of gore, but not gratuitous, relatively few cheap jump scares, and an amazing story of one woman’s preservence in the face of her own trauma.
5/5 hobbits. Trigger warnings if you have a bad mum lol

I live in Brunswick on Syndey Road, have been here for 6 years. Avoid street level residences, aim for an apartment. This will keep you up off the street, as Melbourne (particulaly the inner suburbs) have a meth and homelessness issue. You’ll hear them yodel around at odd hours, and verbally cuss themselves out lol, but staying off street level means it’s just entertainment (dark humour sorry).
Otherwise I love it here. Everything is walking distance, close enough to the CBD without it being a hassle, Sydney road street party is great fun, always something artsy or niche to attend, lots of gigs, trivia nights, foods, etc.

Security cameras and an alarm systems methinks, that’s terrifying! Nightmare fuel shit.
You know your husband better than us (obviously), but from my experience with my feminist partner, these types of serious conversations with men, even they need to be told how serious this is. Like, emphasise the concern, how important it is, how deeply afraid/concerned/upset you are. And lay out what you would like him to do. Sometimes they need to be told what the solution is, so they can physically act. And make it a Thing. Sit him down, tell him you “need to talk about something extremely important to me”, that you require his full, undivided attention in this matter.
It may help to write down how you’re feeling. I know it’s a lot of mental workload to take on, when you’re already under so much stress right now. And I’m definitely not saying this is going to fix anything, as I said I don’t know your husband from a bar of soap.
I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this, sending you all my love

Try smaller picture houses. Brunswick Picture House and Thornbury Picture House generally have more interesting movies shown, as well as the more well-known films too.
Palace Theatres tends to be similar as well, while also showing international films too. Generally I’ve had a better time when avoiding Village and Hoyts

To play devil’s advocate, perhaps he thinks he’s being playful? Like, banter or something. At least, that’s my experience when I have confronted ex-colleague about the same behaviours. Then again, those types are often very good at feigning ignorance 🤷♀️
On the other hand, it isn’t funny if only he is laughing y’know. For something to be genuinely funny, the subject also has to find it funny. Otherwise it’s bullying.

Haven’t heard anything about the interview I had, so I guess I didn’t get the job. Kinda tired of just being ghosted; isn’t hard to just have a template rejection and BCC everyone who didn’t get the role.
But what do I know? I’m just an unemployed idiot I suppose.

They did it because I upset them and they were (probably still are) abusive lol
I can laugh about it now, because it’s wild crazy behaviour, but at the time it was difficult to explain to my co-workers that I just told them it was some sort of eye infection

Woke up with one very swollen eye. Giving me flashbacks to when my ex farted on my pillow and gave me pinkeye 😂 I don’t think it’s pink eye this time though, no weeping and it isn’t pink or red, just swollen.
Getting a blood test done today will be interesting lol

There seems to be a vague goal of meeting everyone at a festival, however I’m not sure if that’s just placeholder as NPCs are yet to be added.
Other than that, you travel around the map repairing some points of interest (eg, a windmill, a lighthouse, etc), and survive off the land. Gather resources for upgrading gear and base and tools, can feel a tad repetitive going around but it’s offset by the serene vistas and interesting landscapes. There always seems to be something off in the distance that looks interesting and can be checked out. Tbh I haven’t played rv there yet. I just played the demo for outbound like 2 weeks ago and bought the game based off that loool

It really is! Very peaceful and cosy! The lighting makes the world look absolutely stunning at dawn and dusk, and I stg they recorded actual thunder and lightning or something because of boy does it sound real lol
8.5/10 for an early access game, knocked points off because the world can feel a little bit empty, but from the Devs roadmap that will be rectified during the updates this year.

Ever wanted to go on a combi camping trip in a utopia? Well, Outbound is that game.
It is a chill af survival game, single or multiplayer (I’m playing single player because partner’s PC is too fronkensteen to run it), and it’s great. Slow paced, no enemies, no stress, and a friendly dog companion (obtained in the second area). Just collect resources, find collectibles, appreciate the tranquility, and upgrade the combi base building. There are some simple skill trees (one for the van, of for yourself, and one for the dog companion).
I haven’t made it past map 2 yet, and I certainly didn’t find all the gnomes or cairns in the first map. It’s just a fucking chill as game. Devs are updating constantly with qol and content (fishing and fish tanks, more wildlife, and NPCs are coming this year. It is early access but I’ve slapped a solid 20 hours into it since it released this week. Bit exxy for an early access, but I personally found it worth it so far.
