There's a bit of a chill in the air this morning, and Uitwaaien felt like a good choice to pair with Varen.
I got my smush today - thanks!
Good to see! I hope you enjoy.
Only 5 days left!
Monday, August 26, 2024: Les lundis de l'entropie
My bottle of Floid (which I bought maybe 5 years ago?) has become a bit opaque, and I wonder if anything is wrong with it. I thought that it is mainly alcohol, so would could go wrong? Anyways, I have a slight tingling on my face that I should not have, so I'll probably get rid of it.
Have a good night!
Maybe the alcohol evaporated? It can happen if the cap isn't sealing properly anymore
I had bought the vaporizer to maximize economies 👀 and because it's cool 😁. I guess the seal was not proper for a few years. Anyways, it's down the drain now 😱
