Just a 1-pass head shave after trying out my new electric toothbrush and teeth bleaching/whitening set. Comfortable shave, just one tiny little weeper that I didn't even notice until after the shave (thankfully alum sticks exist).
Neon Sun is a great scent reminding me of warmer days, greatly appreciated in the current cold front we're having over here. It kinda feels weird to list my fragrance today, as I generally shave in the evening/at night and apply perfume in the morning. However, it's also seemingly not a compliment getter. It smells very interesting to me and is actually described as a very sensual scent by some fragrance forums on the net, but it still hasn't got the wow factor I'm looking for. But the good thing is that I got 3 new 2 ml samples today, among them the insanely expensive Amouage Interlude Man. Let's see how these will fare.
First day back in nursing school and it was honestly bullshit. First block was self study due to a sick teacher, second one was awful teaching, and then we finally started learning a little bit after lunch break. Can't say that tomorrow looks way better, but at least I see some of my nice classmates again.
