Looking for sleeping tips!
With the temperature fluctuating, it's been difficult to sleep:
Too cold -> Cannot fall asleep
Too warm -> Able to fall asleep, but will wake up with a nightmare soon
Any suggestions on how to deal with this??

Yes, ethanol is a carcinogen when consumed as a drink, but not topically (e.g., hand sanitizer), or at least, no association has been found so far.
Why would this even be discussed in the first place?
I am curious about what the scientific experts thought.

🍽️ Pan-fried chicken leg with creamy cheese mustard sauce
Inspired by others, I attempted to create a creamy sauce for the pan-fried chicken leg.
Definitely recommended! More flavors can be added to the chicken leg.

Someone asked if I don't read text messages frequently, I told them that I only read text messages when I am done working, so I can focus better.
The truth is: Based on the message preview, if this message is going to take an emotional toll on me, I will only open it when I am mentally prepared 🫠

The MV and the song itself are full of tokusatsu superhero vibe, very nostalgic, and full of Hayato Kagami's personality!
I think it is unique to combine his voice and his interested together in a song.

I am having mixed feelings about sales now: I recently got a pair of leather boots I've been eyeing for a while with a 20% discount.
Not a huge discount, but I was happy......until I checked the website and saw the same boots are now 30% off.

My neighbor is doing some work at their apartment, so I put on noise-cancelling headphones and opened a stream in the background to drown out the construction noise.

Learned a new Italian idiom today!
"al verde" (to the green) means broke.
My favorite Italian idiom is "in bocca al lupo" (in the mouth of the wolf), which is equivalent to break a leg!
And the response of "in bocca al lupo" is "crepi il lupo" (may the wolf die).

It is only acceptable to buy essentials in spares, for example, toilet paper, water filter, etc.
I will pick up my next perfume when I finish the current one (repeat to myself).
