On Beauty Routines

Adulting is hard. Adulting as a woman can be even harder.
成年是辛苦的。作为一名成年女子可能会更辛苦。

In her new book Adulthood Is A Myth, author Sarah Andersen uses hilarious (and adorable) comics to illustrate the very specific growing pains that occur on your way to becoming a mature, put-together grownup.
在作家莎拉·安徒生的新书《成年如迷》里,她用滑稽(又可爱的)漫画阐明了成为一名成熟又有条理的成年人的过程中特有的成长的烦恼。

It ain’t easy being a grown woman, but Andersen’s comics show the humor in the struggle.
成为一名成熟的女子并不容易,而安徒生的漫画展示了女子奋斗过程中的心情。

以下是安徒生的的部分漫画节选:
