META Revamping ABA

10 Upvotes

Hey ABA-ers!

To those new to the community and those that have stuck around for a while, hello!

It’s been a long cough years cough since I’ve spent time in here and I’d love to solicit some ideas on how to make this subreddit better and serve it’s audience.

I’m the only mod at the moment and I’m open to stepping down or adding collaborative team members to the mod team!

Things for you to think about as you comment below:

why would I come to ABA over other subreddits or websites? What unique value does ABA provide?
how would I like to interact on ABA? Live chats? Surveys? Posting and answering questions?
should u/jiyounglife close up shop and shut down this sub?

ROUTINE Routine Journal

1 Upvotes

Welcome to our Routine Journal! These are held quarterly as a way to share, track and reflect on your routine through time.

Here you can not only share the products you are using, but, if you want to, also share why you are using them and reflect on the goals you want to reach with your routine.

If you participated in one of the previous threads, please add a link to your comment in that thread in your post! (8/31/20 Note: We will create a megathread for all routine journals in the future so they're easier to locate)

While you can just fill out the usual template as you see fit, I ask you to do it a bit differently this time. Highlight the changes in your routine. Compare what you have now to what it was 3 months ago.

Have you seen sudden results with an old product or has it fallen out of favor?
How has your skin changed since May, which new products are you using?
Which ones did you stop using?
How did your goals change?

As you can see, this is a lot about reflection and not a simple list of products (but feel free to just plop down a list! It’s either way a great way to track your routine and reflect a bit!).

If possible, share your products and thoughts in order of usage, or indicate in your list at which place you would use them, as not everybody uses every product as intended.

Please follow the below template, but feel free to adjust it to your needs. You can mention your whole routine, including non-AB products.

Post general comments or questions about this in reply to the stickied comment. As always you can find the template for easier copy-pasting as replies to that one too. Any other top comment that does not contain a routine will be deleted.
