I am currently in the act of my own version of ‘skin cycling’

I’ve had a good look online for which actives have the research to back them up (some of which I was aware of before) and then try and arrange everything so it gets a fair distribution, without irritating the crap out of my skin (last time I went for it my skin got slightly fried)

So far it seems to be working, I’m about 2 months in. I can do an acid exfoliation, Tret, copper peptides in the pm with an evening off, and alternate between copper peptides and Vit C/antioxidants during the day…then restart the process for the next 4 days

Also I’m trying out NIODs CAIS (copper peptides) and FECC (eye serum, peptides, matrixyl etc) since May. I’ve been using them as much as I can within my routine, without combining them when I exfoliate and use Tret, Vit C etc

I think I can see a difference around my eyes, I’m still not sure about the rest of my face, I have been using them on my neck and above the ole’ boobs…I’m not sure whether it’s only the CAIS (or a combi with the aha/Tret) but my decolletage does look better and my neck too, less crepey

It’s early days yet, but I will report back 😀

I love your work, it’s like an updated voyager golden data disk packed with information…graphically elegant!

Totally agree…

I’ve been using mint for the last 4 years, and while I have had to use the command line for some obscure installs, it also works as an OS without needing to use it (i jumped in at the deep end and installed it in a pc I got from my brother and used it as my everyday OS)

I don’t understand why Mint isn’t the first suggestion for Linux ‘virgins’ switching over from Windows etc, it has everything you need pre installed plus the download manager for anything else

Linux has a flavour for everyone, and after a while when you’re confidence and skills grow there is the fun of using the command line and a bit of tinkering…or not, if you are happy with the ‘basics’

We used to have a video club at Primary School (5-12 years) where you’d pay something like 10p to watch a film after school on a crappy TV. One such film was Beastmaster, we also watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, and inexplicably Assault on Precinct 13 (one of the older kids brought it in and told us younger ones not to say anything to the teachers)

Needless to say, I loved Beastmaster and Raiders, and didn’t have a clue what was happening in Precinct 13 apart from the swearing and violence…Fun times

I wish I had your skills!

Simo is definitely a weird one!

My faves are Vlad (who looks like he’s seen some shit), Fluffy (sleep paralysis demon vibes), Hubble (a big goofy floof) and Ophelia (who’s just in the process of teleporting in)

…sweet dreams!

I had no idea, thanks for the info 👍

a certain ‘labor of love’ needs to be involved

You are not wrong! I think I must be mental sometimes, but it can be good fun discovering new things and then sharing them…

I really like her work, I posted last week some of her cityscapes of Manchester, which is interesting to see the ordinary and mundane of somewhere you know immortalized in art. I’ve got some others of hers which I’ll probably share next week

Also thanks for the tip regarding the code to expand images, it would be nice if the developers added a nice easy button to click to do it for me, but it’s something I can remember to do, like all the other minor things that help when making a post (it’s a learning process)

Cheers! 😀

edit, I’ve just tried it out on one of my posts on mander, it works really well!

Scotland does have it’s share of horrible decor, I do quite like the over abundance of tartan soft furnishings though…I’ve seen some that must be like living in one of those ‘magic eye’ pictures, must be fun if you have epilepsy…

They’re over 70.

No need for a proper sink in the kitchen as they exist on Wiltshire Farm Foods 👍

Well that’s worse than useless…

I’m fully convinced it’s a house for sex parties. Glossy wipe down surfaces for added hygiene, plus the plastic covers on the seats and table, a pointless sink to rinse your dick in, the weird bedroom/toilet/utility room. It’s high up on a hill so there’s the potential for some al fresco fucking, a marque out front…I’ve clearly been thinking a lot about this

edit- I forgot about the glass gimp box under the stairs…

It’s also been reduced! Buyers market… perfect for a Hugh Hefner Valley type

I think that’s the one with the fridge freezer in it …I think I was just getting really confused by then

Rip out the horrible interior, extend, it could look really nice!

In it’s current state though, it’s just bizarre. It’s like an ‘upmarket’ house in the countryside for sex parties… Maybe the weird hand wash basin in the kitchen is for rinsing your dick in?

Perfection!

No probs, I’m already in the process of selecting some

She already beat you to it

I’m glad there are artists capturing the normal sights of places instead of focusing on the most impressive and amazing parts of the world, you know?

I agree, it’s always nice to see your local places immortalized in art, I think it helps that she’s from Bolton, although I haven’t seen any paintings of that downtrodden place yet…

All that’s missing from the paintings is a couple of spice-heads, and the guy who’s always playing the ‘Harry Potter Theme’ on a recorder near Selfridges

Love back at you, from up the road 🐝 ❤️

I read somewhere that she often selects the fancy dogs that have their own instagram, so there’s definitely a fashionista attitude to them…glad you liked the post!

I had the idea to start off with the moderately tweaked, then descending into the acid trip, until the dimensions melted into WTF…

…with the quotes hopefully giving a preview of the images, and some context of her process

I love her work, she’s also got some excellent cat and human collages that I’ll be exploring at some point soon 👍
