The technology behind artificial wombs has made leaps and bounds in recent years and we will soon see human trails. Right now they are only for premature babies that need more time in the womb, but someday they could fully gestate a baby from zygote to neonate. Personally, I think this will be the technology to end sexism once and for all. When childbearing is no longer associated with womanhood we will be valued for more than our reproductive systems. I can't wait, but I want to know how the other nonas feel.

I'm bleeding way too much on my period, blood keeps leaking out my jeans and my cramps are awful! I keep taking Advil but it's not working, just writhing around in bed sleepless and crying… help me!

Has anyone here tried to whiten their teeth? I don't smoke, but I drink a lot of tea and coffee and it's showing. But my teeth and gums are already sensitive so I'm worried to do more harm than good. Please post your experiences if you have any!

How much does your face change after weight loss?

Sometimes I miss you a little. Most of the time I don't. You were cruel. You told me you were no good and I didn't listen. You knew I was available and I honestly think that was the only thing you liked about me. You always told me I shouldn't have liked you and how terrible you were for me. I wish I listened, cause maybe we could have been friends still. In my eyes those warnings were kinda just lip service. If you cared that much about not hurting me you would have simply chosen to be good to me. Most of the time you aren't on my mind but yesterday was Valentine's day, and I found someone that's so much kinder towards me. He's kind, patient, forgiving, responsible (does not spend all his money on videogames before moving into a new apartment.) He loves my quirks. He doesn't hide himself behind layers of false identities. He's unapologetically himself. He doesn't take advantage of my forgiving nature. When he hurts me he changes his ways, because he truly cares for me. Yesterday was Valentine's day and it was wonderful. I convinced myself you could become everything he currently is.

I know you know I use crystal cafe, but I don't know if you check it occasionally like you do on their secret blog. Which is super creepy btw.

have you heard of this term "healing crisis"? i am curious because it seems like these days language is getting better to describe what is actually happening so you just might have.

it is a term used in the wonderful artform of detoxification. seems like most people are still asleep about detoxification and believe this is nonsense and hoax. based on that the chance they understand the concept that builds upon the idea of detoxification must be quckery as well to them.

well sucks to be them, i don't think it is a hoax, it works. it is so obviously real. just do it for a while and then remember that you did it so you can give credit where credit it is due. this is very easy to prove by just trying it and then feeling better because of it.

understanding that your body is in constant transformation with various toxins and trying to find out what you can do to help; that's all it is.

imagine you are in the process of doing stuff to get rid of toxins.

I'm a generic loser that is only now wanting to be somewhat the usual girl. I have like a few forms of eyeliner products but I still can't do a simple wing. I also have tube mascara, concealer, pressed powder, powder blush, matte lipsticks, lip balm, lip liner. I want to "complete" the kit by getting foundation and a good set of eyeshadow.
It irks me that there is so many makeup products and a lot of them are expensive as fuck. I also found out, if you don't have a good skincare routine, the makeup wont look as good and now I have to think of getting moisturising skincare and get makeup remover.

Another problem is when I wear makeup, I only have generic shirts and pants from years of being a tomboy, so I feel like it looks unmatching. When I wear blush and lipstick, on me I look like a clown. But other girls own it effortlessly

I feel so insecure. Am I just overthinking this? What am I doing wrong?

For anyone recovering from under-eating/disordered eating/over-dieting and those who are just trying to put on weight!

I’m trying to grow my hair really long. It’s wavy and below shoulder length at my back and kinda has these weird layers. It’s damaged from bleaching it blonde and previous black dye but I take good care of it. I do a lot of sports and work a full time job so I don’t have as much time to do my hair. I tend to wear it in french braids or a bun but it’s began to look too femcelish for my taste. What are some pretty and fairly simple hairstyles you nonas do?
