Description

An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in ParisOne overcast weekend in October 1974, Georges Perec set out in quest of the "infraordinary": the humdrum, the non event, the everyday "what happens," as he put it, "when nothing happens." His choice of locale was Place Saint Sulpice, where, ensconced behind first one caf window, then another, he spent three days recording everything to pass through his field of vision: the people walking by; the buses and driving school cars caught in their routes;

One overcast weekend in October 1974, Georges Perec set out in quest of the "infraordinary": the humdrum, the non-event, the everyday--"what happens," as he put it, "when nothing happens." His choice of locale was Place Saint-Sulpice, where, ensconced behind first one caf window, then another, he spent three days recording everything to pass through his field of vision: the people walking by; the buses and driving-school cars caught in their routes; the pigeons moving suddenly en masse; a wedding (and then a funeral) at the church in the center of the square; the signs, symbols and slogans littering everything; and the darkness that finally absorbs it all. In An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris, Perec compiled a melancholic, slightly eerie and oddly touching document in which existence boils down to rhythm, writing turns into time and the line between the empirical and the surreal grows surprisingly thin.

Great value; great products
Size: 8.45 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Anua products are great. They are reasonably priced, easy to use and make your skin look and feel lovely. I really enjoy the ease of these and the small amount you use with each application. They're non irritating and leaves your skin feeling moisturized without the heavy oily feeling.

My New Holy Grail! ⟡
Size: 8.45 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Finally Azelaic Acid that don't break me out. I've tried US skincare and they are nothing but harsh to my skin. I've tried korean skin care before but I guess I wasn't buying the product that targets my skin concerns. Now that I'm giving korean skin care a second go, it did not disappoint! I can see my skin improving! ⟡

So glad I finally tried this totally worth it!

I love Korean skincare and have been wanting to try Anua for a while, but I always found it a little on the pricier side. I was placing a Black Friday order and snagged this toner for $15, and I’m so glad I did! I originally wanted to try their azelaic acid serum, but since I already use a lot of serums, seeing it in toner form felt perfect — and it really is. I’ve been using this morning and night, and my skin already looks brighter. I have a lot of acne scarring, and even in the short time I’ve been using this, I’ve noticed visible improvement. It’s super gentle, not harsh at all, and has a light, pleasant scent (which doesn’t seem like added fragrance). My skin is extremely acne-prone, and this hasn’t broken me out whatsoever. If anything, it feels calming. So far I’ve truly enjoyed this product, and I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something soothing that actually helps with texture, spots, and overall clarity!
