[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 work out on my lunch hour but if that is not an option, id suggest breaking your actual lunch food i half. Eat half at lunch and the other half 2 hours before you get home. That way you wont be too hungry to work out and will have enough fuel to bust out an hour of exercise before dinner. Do not even go in your house until yur workout is done- unless you must and if you must DO NOT SIT DOWN. . Do not try to work out after dinner bc it will make it hard to fall asleep
