Now that the weather is finally gettig hotter I will be showering twice. I used to be worried that doing this would dry my skin out and the damage would add up but then I realised I was just thinking too much. I have finally nailed my routine and I follow it daily. It is very minimal but it is consistency that matters.
After seeing everything that the market has to offer I find holistic beauty the best. That overpriced lip oil is definitely not worth it no matter what the influencer tells you some shea butter will just do the job and do it better. Also seal your eye cream ( so basically a moisturizer ) with vaseline or aquaphor for it to properly work.
I continue to struggle with my hair. It is in a better shape than 2022 but I want more volume more shine and more life. I still have to try the fino and the tsubaki and &honey. So many things to choose from!
Summer will be all about mint and fruit and cold air and burning wood. No candy please.

Ear Piercers Anonymous 21386[Reply]

Has anyone here used one of these before? I'm thinking about buying one.

Anonymous 21392

went to a cheap mall shop and had my ears pierced with this kind of thing when i was younger.

it got hella infected and my skin grew over the actual jewelry. had to go to the doctor for them to literally cut it out of my ear and it's left a scar lol.

now i have 14 piercings just in my ear, all done professionally with the proper needles, and haven't had any issues with infections.

i don't really think it's worth it to mess with those.

Anonymous 21419

Please don't do these, they're not sharp enough at the end so what they'll do is create tears in the skin and invite in infection.

What you want is a hollow needle / gauge needle (of adequate size) and something to clean your desired earrings with, like an alcohol solution.

If you can go to a piercer. But if you want to do it yourself, please use the needle and make sure to angle it well while piercing. Keep it in there for a little and hold it perpendicular to your lobe.

I did my lobes and one of them puts up a fight when inserting earrings because I didn't hold the needle perpendicular.

i had my ears pierced with these at the mall when i was a kid and had no issue personally. i just remember it feeling like a pinch and then sore for a few days.

if you do use them just be sure to keep it clean after as that is what causes them to get infected. i cleaned mine a few times a day and they were healed after 6 weeks.

also make sure to check what metal the earrings are made out of incase you are allergic to them.

Anonymous 21454

When I was 10 my mom let me use these to pierce my own ears. But as an adult, with adult knowledge and adult money I would never. You can buy actual piercing supplies online for the same price.

Oral Hygiene Anonymous 21426[Reply]

What is your oral hygiene routine like? I like to brush my teeth ×2 a day sm it keeps me sane and makes me get the feeling of progress. I wish I could floss thrice a day but my gums hurt. I like to oil pull in the morning and use mouthwash at night. By the way I hate water floss and I will hate it till the day I die. Also going to the dentist is not scary get that filling today!

At minimum you should be doing it twice, once in morning and once before you go to bed.
I got the tism and don’t like feeling gunk in my mouth so I brush after every meal. If you don’t care about breath quality and think brushing is too much, make sure u eat cheese at the end of lunch coz apparently that helps the good bacteria in your mouth combat bad bacteria.

I have heard the same thing about xylitol tablets …I dont remember if it was about cavity or bad breath

Those are to help prevent cavities because it helps you generate more saliva to flush out your mouth.

matcha and coffee.…

Morning wake up drinks Anonymous 21403[Reply]

Water is absoultely needed. Apart from that coffee, tea, matcha or energy drinks is what I have heard people drink. Personally I find drinking an energy drink in the morning insane but you do you. I like the bitternes of coffee but it makes me very anxious so I stick to matcha. Tea is good too but only in milk.
I don't like the ones overloaded with sugar no matter what it is but I do like how they are presented.

I'm torn. I want to go for a natural lip look but right now dark lips are trending where I live and stores aren't stocking much. I also like big pouty looks but I've gotten comments that I over do it.

Anonymous 21395

Pouty looks are so cute but I don't have much in that dept so I stick to simpler forms. I think overdoing only counts if the look is not fit for the occassion otherwise have fun!

Youthful pink glossy lips! Still no good inspo for eyes, I just do generic shimmery browns.

Does anyone else feel like foundation is a total scam? Italways ends up making my face look so much heavier even thpugh I apply it lightly. I also hate when young girls slather their acne with foundation. The texture is still visible, it seems like a waste.

I posted before about wearing warm-toned makeup on my cool-toned face… Although I liked it I realized it does clash with my skin so I'm going back to cool tones now that I've used up stuff like blush and lipstick.

Disability general Anonymous 11446[Reply]

I don't think there has been a thread for those who might have some form of disability here. This thread is for discussing any problem related to a disability, it can be a mental or physical problem as long as this thread can help you feel less alone in this struggle it is all that matters. I personally have issues related to my hearing, I am curious to see if other anons do too here.

Honestly I'm in my 30s and yeah, it's embarrassing. Everyone else at the rehab center is elderly. My memory and recollection is only like 85% of what it should be. I got assigned a care manager as if I'm a person with Alzheimer's. But I need it.

I guess I appreciate that he's honest with his frustrationsinstead of hiding it and emotionally or physically cheating on me or leaving me. When we got together he didn't sign up to be a caretaker in his 30s, but now he is. I understand that's hard for him.

I have an iq of 85 which means I'm only borderline mentally functioning.

FND sucks. outside of the neurologist that diagnosed me, i've had to describe it to every other medical professional since they just don't know what the hell it is. really makes me feel like i'm just making shit up even though i've had to be hospitalized multiple times from FND symptoms.

Anonymous 21342

I looked up FND and the symptoms sound awful. Stay strong.

I wish I could go back to before I was disabled.

Wax Strips Anonymous 21271[Reply]

Has anyone here tried using them? Do they hurt and are they better than shaving?

Anonymous 21272

I use that brand specifically and prefer it to plucking/shaving my wretched mustache but there's no way to avoid the pain, as brief as it is. I used to have my mom rip them off my face (she had fun!) but then I moved out and have to pull them off by myself like a big girl. Sometimes it doesn't get them all and you have to pluck the remaining ones, but for me that's normally the thicker black kind that are easy to take care of. I've also used their bigger strips for legs/pits but for that I still prefer an epilator.

Anonymous 21284

i've recently tried nair wax strips and I think they're kinda fun and nice but since I don't grow that much hair, I think its just easier for me to shave. I don't like the wait period you have to do with waxing.

Anonymous 21402

yes, they're great but i use home IPL for face. warm up with hair dryer slap on and rip off. im a baby when it comes to pain and it's negligible, you can get baby oil but it comes with waxing oil that soothes the area. i have sensitive skin so i like to shave as little as possible

I suggest a Dove, scent-free sensitive skin soap bar. Also, try using a dove deodorant between your thighs to rub chaffing.

Remember sweat odor can also be influenced by diet. Eat cleaner for a while and see if you notice a difference. Less sugar and junk food and dairy if you eat a lot. Or if you're eating garlicky, oniony, fishy type foods

You need more fruits and veggies and also less pork
