Hobbies and such.

I don’t see why it can’t be a hobby! I am curious about your excel spreadsheet though. What do you have on it?

I've accepted I'm never going to have thrill seeking hobbies like rock climbing or bungee jumping, but I have just bought myself some beautiful roller blades and am aiming to get a paddle board before summer hits. Anything is a hobby if you enjoy doing it.

A lot of my hobbies emasculate them. I like diy projects, I fix up things in my house, and they see it as threatening somehow. 🙄 I have a bit of a fixer upper and I can't afford to have everything little thing done professionally. I'm supposed to wait around until I have a boyfriend willing to help me out? I don't get it.

Read the Beauty Myth. It is life changing.

I don't see skincare as a hobby, more like a self care routine and something you enjoy. You can learn about it and research new products periodically, but unless you are trying to make your own skincare at home I wouldn't call it a hobbie.

That's just me personally, as a skincare freak who spends $$$, though.

YouTube is so great for tutorials! Also, keep an eye out for any promotions for skillshare. I got a year free from a sponsorship link from a YouTuber I follow and it was the best for learning things you never knew you wanted to learn.

I used to be very into the whole glowing up side of YouTube and would spend a lot of time/energy learning about it. My advice is continue to learn about it and have fun with it, but get 2-3 other hobbies. You want to make being cute/attractive part of your identity but not the whole thing

Skincare was a self-care routine that became a hobby for me. As in i would watch and read many informational content with regards to skincare, experimenting with different skincare products within my means. It's great. My skin has dramatically improved and while i still enjoy make up i have used less of it because I want to show off my skin hehe

Of course it is a hobby! Anything you do in your spare time for the joy of it is a hobby. I realised recently that one of my hobbies is nailcare and nail art, even though I never considered it as such despite doing it for years because it seemed too trivial and more like "upkeep". However, don't let internalised misogyny convince you that something isn't a genuine interest just because it is deemed feminine. It's a hobby if you actively enjoy it, research it, etc, it's upkeep and self-care if it is just routine like brushing your teeth. Skincare is fascinating - you learn so much about chemistry and biology.

I think skincare can be a hobby. Trying different products is interesting and relaxing. I used to love applying masks every weekend before I got pregnant. When my kid gets out of her whiny phase I'll go back to it.

Curiousquest2 · 2021-02-28T15:44:09+00:00

Omg I have literally asked this same question. It’s just so freaking fascinating. But I usually just say “I like learning about new things” 😂

I’m almost the same as you! Broke up 4 months ago and wanting to also be single at least another year. Skincare is fun to me, I like researching the different product types and the science behind it. It’s a lot of trial and error until you find what works for your skin. I got a glow facial before and my skin looked amazing after! Makeup is the same way. I’ve found that it takes a lot of trial and error just finding what colors and brands/formulas work best against your skin type and tone.

Could definitely be a hobby! I think anything that has to do with taking care of yourself could be a hobby if you put a lot of time and effort into it.

My hobby is doing nails. I use builder gels, polygels and gel polishes. I could do it all day everyday and love watching youtube videos or browsing facebook groups about it.

2ndMrsDeWinter · 2021-02-28T17:16:06+00:00

Totally a hobby! And I love this project. I did this a couple years ago and it led to some skills with makeup I’m really proud of!
