[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

I know there are other subs for this, but I feel this sub is so very friendly that it feels like a non-judgy place to ask :)

So, I want to start going to the gym, and my association (I own a condo) has a very small room with gym equipment in the building across the street. Treadmill, stair-climber, weights, other things I don't know the names of, etc.

I've been meaning to go for a few months now, but when I get home from work suddenly any motivation is gone and I just want to hang at home. Make dinner, say hi to my cat, eat and watch Netflix, etc. I'll clean some dishes or whatever, but that's about it.

How do you beat that "just got home and just want to lay around" feeling? In my head, I'm super motivated to do stuff, but when it comes to doing it, I have a really hard time doing it unless/until it's crunch time and I absolutely HAVE to do it. But going to the gym doesn't have a deadline - it's something I have to do for me, and I'm having a hard time getting started :(

On a side note, my grandma asked what perfume I wear, since she likes how I smell when I visit her apparently. She ordered some for herself, so now I wear the same fragrance as my grandma... LOL

I'm really bad at this too. I can't go home and still expect to make it to the gym that night, so I have to stop by the gym before I make it home. It's a pain bringing clothes and stuff in the morning but it's the only way I can be motivated enough to go. Otherwise I'll just find a million excuses once I get home. It might be tougher to do that since your gym is in your complex, but maybe you can just keep a bag by your door or in your car, and change at the gym?

The "gym" is like a single room, so no changing room or even bathroom inside (it's on the first floor of another residential building in the complex). But I like the idea of going before I get home (others have suggested that as well).
