Podcast Review - Bigfoot Collectors Club

This is a podcast about cryptids, the supernatural, and the paranormal.
So usual topic for me.
However unlike my usual listening these guys are believers, not skeptics.

I did laugh a little when the spoke about the famous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage as if it were irrefutably true.

A lot of their point for why it is real are my points for why it's fake.

I also liked that they kept accidentally saying 'Robert Patterson'.

I didn't appreciate the short musical breaks that were 3x louder than the speaking on either side.

I also didn't like the discussion that no one could have made a convincing Bigfoot suit in the 60's.
What is it with people and thinking that humans of the past (even recent past) lacked any skill or drive?!

Lemme guess, aliens.

Bioré - Self-Heating 1 Minute Mask

I like this brand for their pore strips so I thought I'd give these a try.

The mask does get noticeably hot on application, but not scolding hot.

I was surprised by the smell, a clean (menthol), floral scent that is super nice!

The only downsides are the recommended cut line to open the packet makes a hole that really is too small for efficient application and the fact that you only keep it on for a minute does make is less relaxing.

I find it does leave my face clean and triggers some 'purging' (pimples).

Price: 5/5 (4 for $6.99)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Jojoba Oil

Cristine of Simply Nailogical recommends this for nail support, she believes it is helpful for growing out your nails.

It is pretty cheap if you buy it pure and not in a fancy container.

It has a just the faintest 'oily' smell, but it is barely detectable.

I like how it feels on the nails, but I think it is making the skin on my fingers a little dry, it gives me little harder spots.
It may be something else but nothing else has changed, so I just pair it with a hand cream.

I haven't had a broken nail in a while now :D


Price: 3.5/5 ($17.70 for 29mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (virtually none)
Effectiveness: 4/5
