Last weekend I did some stealth hammock camping nearby. It got down just below freezing overnight. I've also started doing embroidery, ignoring my cello, and started experimenting with makeup.

This second lockdown here in Germany is... Not good for my sanity, but at least it's somewhat productive?

Post makeup pics 🙂 I really need to attain some basic makeup skills myself.

You already have great skin, but I bet you'd be able to highlight your features really well! I just have basic concealer for under eyes and red spots, then foundation to smooth things out, and my favorite is brown Eyeliner stick, plus a bit of mascara if I'm feeling it.

Soooo it's quiet at work today, decided to put that all on

This is before, straight after a shower/shave






And bonus from the first time I tried to make cat eyes. Definitely need practice on that!

That's some good everyday-appropriate makeup, nice! I'm pretty lucky with my skin, it's true, and the HRT is most likely gonna boost it even more (definitely feels softer already, but that could be placebo I guess). Mostly I want to learn to hide the unnoticeable-to-all-but-myself stubble properly, probably wouldn't be that hard if I only just did it!

I've tried to do cat eyes a few times too, always gets uneven and then I fill in the other side more to even it out until it's just ridiculously much. Fun though, admittedly.

Oh you know what, I bet you could make the mustache pop even more with a good, subtle lipstick if you wanted 🙂

For sure, it's all just blending! And Oooh, I'd thought about what lipstick might be fun, do you have any ideas on shade?

I'm loving Corvid-chat, thanks you two! :kimchi: I literally read that rundown while walking to the store, so I picked up some peanuts. I have a decent sized balcony which I spend a bunch of time on.

Unrelated, some winter weather gear finally arrived so I am gonna take some time in January to do a hike from Brandenburg to Berlin, hopefully! Hammock Quilts and some base layers should be arriving next week to keep me toasty warm during the nights. I may have an obsession with Fjällräven...

Hot tip for getting balcony visitors on camera: set it to record and place it, so you don't have to be near. Trying to get a good shot manually usually just leads to me scaring mine off.

Hiking sounds like a really good activity right now, I should honestly do that myself as well but I'd need to actually get some gear. You like you know what you're doing, that's a good look!

Also, side note, but that's a nice looking bed. Does it have storage built in or is that me reading it wrong? I'm looking to replace my IKEA bed because it's started squeaking immensely, and since I have an actual steady job and decent pay for the first time since university I should get something a bit better. Mind sharing what that one is?


Idk how cold it gets by you, but some trousers that are thicker and a jacket with pullover underneath is totally enough for hiking most day trips! Honestly, if I didn't throw myself into this, I'd go crazy due to covid. I work from home so I have to go out of my way to stay active.

I will say, Germans aren't very keen on colors I've noticed, so I try to mix it up to make things interesting! Two old grannies smiled at me today when I was out in that, so I consider that a success

The bed is a BRIMNES with drawers. Honestly I want to replace it with a more minimalist bed frame but it is super sturdy and doesn't squeak. I'd maybe check the bar running through the middle though, that's what usually causes squeaking.

Also Miss Broccoli, I'm sooo digging the pride day outfit! And jealous Aussie pride didn't get canceled this year!

Wait, I thought lipstick lesbians were faux lesbians who only act that way when drinking or made up or something. I wonder if it's all regional.

Either way, Woebin, I LOVE that outfit, you look so good in it!

I'm spending Christmas Eve alone this year, but tomorrow I'll be celebrating with some friends during the day and making Venezuelan dishes and ordered some Hallaca and some bread.... Idk what any of that is.

But today, I just went for a 16km/10mi hike with a weighed down rucksack, and cooked up some mashed potatoes along with a gigantic steak. I know I should smile more, but I was about halfway through the hike.

Congratulations Woebin!!! I'm happy for you!!! :3: and yeah 90 Day Fiancée party, sorry about the confusion. We were supposed to have one today, too but the three others ended up getting independently sick. Only I remain healthy.

Soooo after a few weeks of being halfway depressed and feeling like general poo poo, I ended up planning a super cool hike... Only to have the last train connection be stuck for an indeterminate amount of time. Instead of just giving up and going home, I made the most of it and hiked back along the riverside 10 miles/15+km to another town. It was -13C/8F out so I was bundled up nice and cozy.

Thanks! Facial hair is definitely my biggest dysphoria trigger so I'm really glad to finally get it taken care of.

Sorry you've been feeling lovely, but that hiking sounds like, uh, a healthy kind of suffering? I'm sure it's actually nice if you can handle temperatures below "living room with an old-rear end radiator" though 🙂 looks real pretty out there, too!

And yeah, the date went well, just drinking wine, listening to music and trying on bondage gear. You know, standard date activities.

The hike helped not feel so lovely, had a mix of SAD and teetering on the edge of burnout. Buuut it's now regularly sunny out Aaand I signed the contract for a new job! So things are moving again.

It sounds painful. Like that time I went and got the full works at a turkish barber - hot wax all over my ears and in my nostrils and everything.



The barbers in Germany are overwhelmingly Turkish, and it's great because I for some reason have nose hair and they just take a flame to it.

In other news, I leave tomorrow for 4 days hiking through Brandenburg which is the only "state" where you can legally wildcamp like Allemannsretten. Will get some time to think since I'm thinking my recent job change was a mistake but also an opportunity.

So camping was both great and loving sucked. Absolutely gorgeous up until I left the riverside and then it was basically a thick cloud of mosquitoes. Ended up hiking 50km the 3rd day and just gave up finding a new spot. Changed my train to leave a day early.
