SPF50+ on your face everyday.

And Botox!

Tbh I'd save on the luxury skincare and use that towards treatments instead (facials, laser, etc). There are so many great products these days that $300+ for moisturizer seems like overkill

Augustinus Bader instead of La mer but the rest is right on: A quality pair of shoes, coat, pullover

Laser and botox

What kind of laser?

La mer for skincare and makeup; silk blouses and dresses, a long Max Mara long coat, maybe a channel purse

like

Don’t waste your money on La Mer. Only buy products that have active ingredients (i.e salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, oxybenzone, retinol, vitamin c); otherwise it’s just fluff (advice I’ve gotten from from multiple derms)

In all seriousness I try to spend as little as possible and once it is safe I will go for a regular face treatment again. I find it is most important to know what your skin, hair needs and then you can adjust according to your budget. E.g. my hair acts like a flamboyant pop star and likes rahua, my face gets only double cleansed in the eve and in the morning it is just water or some watery essence, spf if I remember (very bad). In terms of clothing, I like a matches or net a porter sale and basics by uniqlo or old-school euro brands. I try to shop less and consciously consume but again I don't want to wear the same thing over and over again at the client even though it would be beneficial for decision fatigue

Skincare, moisturizer, slight retinol (like 0.5) and botox. A good blazer, comfortable shoes!

Index funds 😉

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week. I texted her today to ask if she was still interested in doing something this week and she said she was super busy with a huge project and apologized. But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲
