Hey😊 Could I please request smut with Hyunjin, in which he has a curvy/thick girlfriend and he really appreciates her curves ( and her bum LOL 🤭)

I love, love, love, LOVE the idea of hyune with a thick partner and I lovedddd writing this hehehe

R&R

Masterlist

wc: 2.4k

warnings: smut, explicit sexual content, curvy/thick fem!reader (not a warning at all but just a description that idk where else to put it), fingering, lots of kisses, premature coming, he's just incredibly in love

He’s obsessed. Utterly, irrevocably obsessed with your body. It’s not sexual in the slightest— until it is. When Hyunjin has a new interest, it becomes his entire world. You’re his entire world and an obsession he’s never gonna get over.

His favorite time of the day is after you’re done showering (that is, if he didn’t join you). Whenever he can, Hyunjin steals your towel so that you have to call him over and he has the opportunity to see the entirety of you all over again. It’s a habit that never ceases to amaze him when the outcome is you, skin glistening and wet and looking so beautiful. If you give him the option, he’ll always say yes if you ask him to help you apply lotion to your body. Other times, he takes the bottle from your hands and does it without saying anything.

It had been such a busy week for you and just needed a little R&R. You greeted Hyunjin as soon as you got home snuggling into his chest a little extra and he automatically held you tighter. When you finally let go and made your way towards the bathroom, he offered, “want me to join you?”

“I don’t wanna be in there forever. Wanna cuddle later, though.”

He understood and nodded as you already began to strip off your shirt before even getting into the privacy of the bathroom. Hyunjin whistled and eyed you up and down, rolling your eyes and closing the door. You left it just a crack open so that he could talk to you from outside, something the two of you unintentionally started doing early on in your relationship. He told you about his day, you ranted about your shitty week and Hyunjin promised to kiss it all better once you were done.

You don’t know when he did it, you thought through the frosted glass of the shower that you would’ve seen Hyunjin sneaking in to steal your towel once again, your hand waving around the towel rack just to hit the wall. Shivering, you called out, “you thief!”

Mischievous giggles filled the room as he peaked his head in the doorway, stepping fully into the bathroom as you cracked the shower door open to see his smug face. The towel was in his hand, looking dry and warm and ready for you to use, but dangling in his grasp just out of reach. You lunged for it as best as you could without coming out of the shower, but Hyunjin pulled it away.

“Baby c’mon, I’m so tired,” you pleaded, pouting a little.

He didn’t say anything, holding it out once more. And when you tried to take it, he pulled away again with a laugh. “Let me give you a massage and I’ll give it to you.”

“Most people usually want something that will benefit them if they’re trying to bargain.”

“Giving you a massage does benefit me. A lot, actually. I get to feel you up and see your orgasm face.”

“Do I really make the same face?” Hyunjin raised his eyebrows and smirked while nodding. “Fine. Gimme that.” A literal hooray left his mouth, skipping out of the bathroom after giving you the towel and mentioning something about finding the massage oil.

You had hardly stepped out of the shower and patted yourself dry before your boyfriend came back with two different bottles in hand, not caring that you had kicked the door closed, he entered anyway. “Lavender or eucalyptus?” He asked without looking up.

“Lavender,” you replied, which made his ears perk and gawk at your body covered by just the towel.

Truth be told, it was too small of a towel and you were always met with the same reaction every time he caught you in it. Big eyes, dark and blown wide, mouth catching flies and almost drooling because he was so fascinated. Quickly putting the bottle on the counter, Hyunjin took your waist in both hands and ran them up and down your torso. You were struggling a little to keep the towel above your chest seeing as he was getting too excited and tugging at it.

“You’re so damn cute,” he cooed and leaned in for a kiss.

“Can I get dressed?” You giggled against him, honestly loving the attention.

“Nooo,” Hyunjin whined, “you said I could give you a massage!”

“Don’t massages usually require you to wear clothes?”

“Not mine. Strictly nude only.”

He took the edge of the towel and helped you to pat dry the rest of the moisture away before leading you into the bedroom with more kisses and more less-than-appropriate groping. Stopping at the edge of the bed, Hyunjin grazed his fingers over the hem covering your chest, “can I take this off?” Only a brief nod and he was stripping it away, laying it lengthwise with the mattress and instructing you to lay down. Hair still dripping, you gathered it in one hand to keep from getting the sheets wet. Hyunjin noticed, running away for a second to grab another towel. When he returned, he placed it beneath your hair and instructed that you get comfortable.

You felt exposed, somewhat embarrassed even though he’d seen you naked millions of times. It was the position, laying on your back and vulnerable with your most private parts on display. Gravity made your thicker parts feel unflattering, and the discomfort was written all over your face.

“Beautiful,” Hyunjin murmured to no one but himself, but you heard it loud and clear and it made your cheeks burn.

At the foot of the bed, he kneeled while still towering over you, ogling you from top to bottom with the most intense gaze. You could see the stars in his eyes and his hands holding back from touching.

“Stop looking at me like that.” You wanted to bury yourself in the sheets to get away from the heat of his stare.

Your hands moved to cover your chest and stomach, but was immediately stopped by Hyunjin gripping your wrists tightly, nowhere to escape. “Don’t hide from me.” Chills covered your skin at how sultry he whispered.

You didn’t move but rather allowed him to maneuver you however he wanted. Hyunjin placed your arms at your side and gently moved to spread your legs so he could sit between them. Everything was out for him to see, for him to touch, to love and adore and he couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Starting at the bottom, Hyunjin took a good amount of body oil and rubbed it into his palms before beginning to massage your feet. He could feel your body tense and watched your eyes screw shut. “Relax, honey. ‘M gonna take care of you,” he said with a kiss to the inside of your calf. It took another minute but you melted into his touch eventually.

From your feet he made his way up, deeply massaging your calves and coming to your thighs. This was one of his favorite parts, getting to caress and play with your thighs however he wanted. His big hands pressed hard into your muscles, and it was actually relaxing. Your shoulders began to loosen and you were enjoying yourself. But then you felt him move a little more than necessary, peaking open one eye to see his head between your legs, doing nothing but gazing up at you through his lashes. As you made eye contact, Hyunjin pressed his lips to your thigh while not looking away. He placed tons of sweet, chaste smooches to the skin and did the same on the other side. Just the heat of his breath so close to your core made your stomach light on fire.

“Love your thighs,” Hyunjin spoke into your flesh, now mindlessly running his hands over your legs, reaching up your stomach, back around to your ass, just every inch of you. That is, except where there ached a dull thrumming that craved his attention. “Perfectly soft and squishy and kissable.”

A light moan left your lips and encouraged him to keep going. He trailed his kisses higher, over the expanse of your belly and taking it into both hands, roughly squeezing and resisting the urge to bite.

“Isn’t this supposed to be a massage?” You joked, laughing a little.

He snaked his hands towards your love handles, squeezing, then sneaking them beneath your torso to hold you closer. His chest was pressed against the front of your mound, taking a handful of your ass and holding tight. “Are my lips not good enough, baby?”

“They’re wonderful, but—“

“I know where you want me,” he cut you off, burying his nose into your belly and taking in a deep breath, letting it go with a chuckle. “But I wanna have a little more fun first. Is that okay, honey?”

You only let out a small whimper, failing to keep your hands to yourself and threading them through his hair. He let you do so as he teethed at the skin around your belly button, carrying on and kissing up the valley of your breast. Of course, he had to spread his love there too and attach his lips around your nipple, sucking hard and lightly dragging his teeth over the nub, repeating on the other side with his grasp around your torso tightening as he did so. You could feel his hips trying to keep still as your knees came up to wrap around him. Clearly, he was struggling as much as you were.

“Please,” you whined when the front of his house shorts dragged across your cunt.

At this point there was no more oil left on his hands, he was purely moving based on desire and the sheer need to be holding every bit of you.

Ignoring your pleas, “wish I could be holding all of you at once. Wrap around you like a blanket and never let go,” he said as he placed you gently back onto the bed and ran his hands up and down your sides. “All for me.”

His mindless babbling was arguably more arousing than when he was actually trying to seduce you, granted it never took much effort on his part.

You didn’t think he would give in so easily, sneaking one hand towards your aching core and spreading your folds with his fingers. He finally got up to your face, though not without spending a bit of time taking extra care to kiss and nibble at your neck and shoulders as well. You were drenched and growing even more wet as his lips met yours in a heated, unadulterated kiss all the while his fingers only barely grazed the outline of your clit, slick with arousal. He swallowed every one of your moans, not holding back his own when he let himself feel you completely soaked.

Circling your clit, Hyunjin pressed harder into your bundle of nerves and began to become ravenous with the kiss, fighting a one sided battle against your tongue because he knew you couldn’t say no and winning easily. Just as you allowed him to bite your lower lip and tug, his fingers slipped into your entrance with little to no resistance, pressure that had you whining being alleviated just a little. Your hips bucked into his hand and his palm pressed against your clit, incoherent whimpers filling the room from you both.

He knew you so well, knew your body like his own and you were just an extension of him. It didn’t take much time for you to get worked up and feel the heat rise in your gut. His long fingers hit the spot in you just right and he wasn’t letting up with the pace to give you everything you wanted. And when your eyes shut and head fell back into the pillows to arch your back as the orgasm hit, Hyunjin made it his mission to leave a mark into the junction of your neck, making you shiver until the light behind your eyes turned dark.

In the minute it took you to catch your breath, your boyfriend was resting his forehead against your chest and pulling his digits out of your core, he was somehow just as winded as you were. Looking up at you, his expression was less feral and more adoring, bringing his fingers up to your mouth and letting you taste yourself. His cheeks were blushing a deep red when you swirled your tongue around them, whining just a little as you tugged at his roots.

He sat up, only to crawl on top of you and hide his face in your neck before you could look at him properly. Your legs were already around his waist, but Hyunjin gripped the underside of your thighs to hug his torso tighter, slipping them down to comfortably keep handfuls of your ass.

Just trying to get comfortable, you shifted a little and your soiled crotch bumped against his front again. It was warm and damp, “baby?”

“Yeah?” He murmured, still kissing the side of your neck softly and digging his fingers into the flesh of your bottom.

“Did you–”

“Yeah,” Hyunjin chuckled lightly and held you somehow tighter. “And I’d do it again.”

“I didn’t even get to touch you.” The slight pout in your tone was amusing, apparently, he giggled.

“Do you have to? I mean,” Hyunjin sat back on his knees again, caged by your legs around his waist and pulling you higher up his lap, looking down at you like a full course meal. “Look at you, honey. How could I not? I have to restrain myself from wanting to eat you whole. You’re just so sexy.” Emphasizing his point, Hyunjin lightly slapped your ass and soothed over the skin with his palms. The way he bit his lip and hearts circling his head was confirmation enough, but it still made you shy.

“No fair,” you played with the band of his shorts. Hyunjin laughed a little more deviously, only letting go to strip away his shirt but not the shorts. “Babyyy,” snapping the elastic against his skin was your way of begging for him to get rid of them, too, but he’s stubborn.

“C’mon, honey. Can’t I just appreciate you without getting anything in return?”

“But I wanna,” you pulled his shorts harder.

Taking your hands away from his shorts, he guided them back up to his hair and leaned down for another parade of kisses, “maybe if you get rid of all your clothes for the rest of time.” You laughed against his lips.

“You’d never let me leave the house.” “Exactly. I get you all to myself forever and ever and ever. Every bit of you is mine. Now,” he grabbed the bottle of oil again, “let me finish that massage.”

DREAM GIRL INTRO 2/5 How To Get Started: high maintenance routine (PT 2)

hello ladies,

Hey there! Thanks for sticking around for intro 2, part 2 of my high-maintenance routine. If you missed the previous post, it's on my page for you to catch up on. I've got more routines to share, so let's dive in and make it worthwhile! And remember, you don't have to do everything take some and leave some ☺️(I am not a medical professional, so please consult a doctor for proper advice, I'll place a ''*'' for the ones to look out for)

******************************weekly********************************

wash bedding: pillows, pillowcases, sheets, and blankets; stuffed animals too (If possible, I recommend washing them with lavender-scented detergent for a calming effect.)

everything shower: Shaving, scrubbing, masks— the works. You know how it is, ladies. (btw baby oil is the best shaving oil and it's cheap too! another alternative is coconut oil)

clean makeup/hair tools: It's important to establish a regular cleaning routine to keep your skin clear and prevent hair loss.

clean water bottle(s): Girls, it's great that you're staying hydrated, but don't forget to clean your water bottles. Many people overlook this and end up drinking mold, which can make you sick over time. (TIP: bleach makes mold stronger so sanitizing your water bottles with white vinegar is better and safe and no it won't taste like vinegar)

refresh space: it's nice to do a deep clean on your space/s so really be intentional (I like to write a to-do list the night before of what I need to get done in detail so I don't forget in the morning)

*24-hour gut reset*: Giving your body a 24-hour break from food can have numerous benefits, such as regulating blood sugar, metabolizing stored fat, and reducing the risk of heart disease.

************************monthly*************************************

*chemical peel*: I began using a chemical peel last month and have aGlready started to see results. I do not get professional treatments; instead, I use The Ordinary peeling solution. (follow the instructions to a T if you use it)

Mani/Pedi: Getting your nails done is an important part of a high-maintenance routine; it enhances your femininity. ( You don't have to use color if you don't want to; you can keep them clean and filed. )

brows: pluck uneven hairs to make sure everything is neat and polished.

*clay mask*: I use a clay mask with Aztec healing clay and apple cider vinegar(w/ the mother) to detox and clarify my hair.

I hope my routines have inspired you, bringing you one step closer to your dream girl.

-XOXOXO

Beauty products that I swear by (All of them are vintage and one is homemade!) 🎀

Nivea Creme: This is the best moisturizer! I use it on my body as well on my face and it leaves my skin very smoth. It works very well as an eye and neck cream. All the benefits in one place.

Johnson's Baby Oil: Another great product. After shaving, it leaves the skin so smooth, and I recommend mixing it with the nivea creme for an easier application of the cream, since it is quite thick.

Lux Soap: The only thing I use to wash my body! They have a wide range of scents and colors. They smell so good and leave your skin with a pleased clean scent.

Lipsticks: Revlon's "Certainly Red" and L'oreal's "Cristal Cerise": My go to lipsticks. One is a bright red, very 1950s (because it is from around that period) and the other one is more of a brown-red, with glitter, which reminds me of the 1970s

HOMEMADE BODY SCRUB: Just mix coconut oil and coffee grids in a jar and then apply the mixture to your body. It's all natural and actually lasts a long time if you keep it in a clean and dark drawer or cabinet.

Vaseline: I use it on my lips.

Can you do a ror loki and child reader hel needing help taking care of her rotten skin, so they do like skincare? Thank you!!

A/N: Gladly Anon, I absolutely adore these ideas with reader Hel and Loki. Thought I didn't expect RoR! Loki, how interesting~

This is going to be to write about~ <3

A fathers healing touch! 💜💚

➩ In the halls of Asgard, Loki, the god of mischief, found himself facing an unexpected challenge. His youngest daughter, Y/N, had been suffering from a mysterious ailment that caused her skin to rot.

Desperate to help her, Loki was desperate to find a solution, despite his usual penchant for chaos and mischief.

➩ Reader type: Reader!Child Hel and RoR!Loki

⚠: Struggling with skin conditions, rotten skin, single father Loki trying his best! 😭

“Y/N, my dear daughter, fear not. We shall find a remedy for your skin.."

Loki tries his best to reassure Y/N who found herself sobbing uncontrollably. She was panicked, distraught over her condition.

The constant pain, the oils and creams that never seemed to heal her, helping her in the slightest. It was tiring and she had almost lost all hope!

"But father! We tried everything, and nothing seems to work. I fear this rot will consume me.."

Y/N sobbed, about to throw away what the two had been brought to possibly heal her rotten skin. She hated this and herself for being born this way!

But right when she was about to, Loki grabs her wrist gently, never harsh towards her but understanding of her struggles.

She lowers her hand carefully while the girl sobbed, calming down from her fit of blind rage. Loki takes the ointments out of her grasp and makes Y/N face him.

"Nonsense, my child! There is always a solution. I'll travel out to find something, you stay home alright?"

Loki smiles reassuringly at Y/N, wiping away her tears and snot from her round little face, like he had done ever since she was a baby.

His precious little baby.

“Alright.. Please be careful.”

Now filled with the same goal as the previous one. Loki, concerned for his daughter's well-being, decided find help.

He knew he couldn't rely on the traditional remedies the gods used for this issue.

Instead, he had no choice but to venture into Midgard, the realm of humans, in search of a solution.

He hated that it had come to this, that he needed to seek out the humans' remedies instead of the gods.

He almost felt a little ashamed since It was supposed to be the opposite! But he would do anything to help and insure his daughters happiness and health.

Arriving at a bustling marketplace, Loki in disguise stumbled upon a small stall adorned with an array of skincare products.

Intrigued, he approached the vendor, met with an elderly woman who gave him a gentle smile.

"Excuse me, my lady," Loki began, not even trying to sound nice but just to get this over with. He needed to save his daughter!

"My daughter is in dire need of assistance. Her skin has taken a turn for the worse, and I seek a remedy to heal her."

The vendor studied Loki for a moment, the god suddenly feeling anxiety wash over him, he was worried she would see through his disguise for a moment before she just nodded knowingly.

Much to Loki's relief who thought he had been caught!

"Ah, the skin is a delicate canvas, especially in harsh conditions. Fear not, for I have just the solution for your daughter."

She handed Loki an assortment of creams, oils, and serums, explaining their benefits and how to use them.

Loki, grateful for her guidance, paid for the products and hurried back to Y/N in their divine realm.

Upon his return, Y/N greeted her father with a mix of curiosity and scepticism.

"What is all this, Father?" she inquired, eyeing the skincare products in his hands.

"These, my dear child, are the tools to restore your skin to its former glory,"

Loki declared with a confident grin.

"We shall test these out on you, it will be like us doing some skincare together~"

Y/N hesitant at first, trusted her father's judgement and agreed to give it a try.

With Loki's guidance, they began their skincare routine, applying the creams and oils with care and precision on the parts of Y/N's body where her skin had rotted.

Loki always made sure to stop if it brought Y/N any discomfort or was starting to hurt.

After all, the rotten skin was almost like burn marks, they were sensitive and could easily hurt by the slightest touch.

As they worked together, Y/N couldn't help but notice a change. Her skin, once dull and lifeless, started to regain its vitality.

The cracks began to heal slightly, and a healthy glow returned to her complexion but the scars were still there.

"This is remarkable, Father!" Y/N exclaimed, marvelling at her reflection.

"I never imagined this was possible to heal, thank you so much father!"

Loki beamed with pride, his heart swelling with affection for his daughter.

"Nothing is beyond our reach when we work together, darling~"

Loki spoke softly, pulling Y/N into a gentle hug before kissing the top of her head with love and compassion.

Nipple Care Reminder

If you intend to try this method, whether in an effort to lactate or simply to grow your breasts, please keep in mind to purchase some form of nipple balm before you start. It’s well documented that actions traditionally associated with breastfeeding are very hard on your nipples, and they can become dry, cracked, and painful without proper care. These things are what drive your entire effort, so make sure to take care of them!

Please keep in mind that the most common product for nipple hydration and protection associated with breastfeeding, lanolin, can be toxic to humans when consumed in excessive doses. There are plenty of companies now that sell balms made from various plant oils which will help just the same, please bear this in mind if you intend to have someone’s mouth in the localized area. And just to be safe, I would keep any tubes of lanolin clear of especially curious animals. Fine for boobs, not for mouths.

Signs that your nipples need to be moisturized include:

Irritated Montgomery glands: these are the small bumps on your areola surrounding the nipple itself, sometimes they will be particularly red, or you may even wake up with little things that look like scabs on them. This may also be a sign that you could benefit from being more liberal with your pump lubricant. Use a nipple balm and pump on a lower setting for at least half the day.

Red nipples: pretty self explanatory, if your nipples are looking exceedingly inflamed there is probably a problem. Moisturize them and pump at a lower intensity for the day, and hopefully they should calm down

Pale, dry nipples: I don’t personally run into this problem a lot, I have pretty oily skin naturally and my Montgomery glands do a pretty effective job of keeping their area hydrated, but for people with dryer skin or fewer nodules on their nipples this may become a relatively consistent problem, and it can lead to discomfort as well as difficulty getting your pump to seal. I would suggest taking up a regular routine with a nontoxic nipple balm if this is the case, just to help your skin out.

And I think this need not be said, but just in case: if your nipples start to bleed that is bad, do not continue pumping until they have fully healed, treat them with neosporin or something similar. I am not fucking with you I have read horror stories about breastfeeding women’s nipples falling off because they weren’t taking care of them properly or their baby munched them too much, you do not want to explain to a doctor why your nipple has fallen off when you have no children I beg of you

This concludes my PSA, please remember to take care of your nipples, and have a great day!

[boxingcleverrr]

So with the mind-boggling hilarity of people feeling the need to defend taking care of their skin, I wanted to do an update of my original skincare post. That I of course can't find, presently, as the search function on this site is still useless!

First of all, come to terms with the fact that you are walking around with a giant organ on the outside of your body (ahurhurhur).

Yes, preventing skin cancer is priority one when it comes to your dermis. Sunscreen isn't the only defense, having skin with a healthy moisture barrier is part of that prevention as well. ALSO, one thing a lot of those posts desperately yelping "It'S nOt BeAuTy StAnDaRdS!" leave out is, uh, the scary shit that can happen to your skin when you're elderly. Your skin WILL get thinner, that's just aging. Taking care of it now (keeping it stretchy and moisturized) gives it a better chance of not being paper-thin, to the point that the person taking care of you has to be mindful not to freaking tear it off of you just helping you get dressed.

If you have a strong stomach, go ahead and read some stories from hospice and other types of elder care workers. There's a whole contraption for lowering people down slowly if they're about to fall, all to prevent skin splitting or sloughing off.

Age spots are beautiful. Care-worn wrinkles and laugh lines are beautiful. Your arm skin sloughing off like a glove is not.

Fucking moisturize.

Is a side effect of that care often fewer of those lines? Sure, MAYBE, sometimes. It also doesn't at ALL require 18 expensive steps. Even before I left my job I was mainly using the best I could find for the least amount of money. Almost everything listed I've been using for over a year at least! Aldi-brand skincare is amazingly quality, as you'll see.

Washing:

Lacura Foaming Gel Cleanser: Super gentle and nice for a daily face wash. When I want to use it as a makeup-remover, I'll pump it into a super-soft sea sponge so I can scrub a bit more, albeit gently.

I don't get big breakouts much at this point (regular cleansing and moisturizing will usually chill your skin out eventually re: feeling the need to over-produce oil). But I do keep some Neutrogena Face Wash around for when I get breakouts anywhere, maybe a handful of times a month.

I don't know how much benefit I REALLY see from toner, as far as my pores. They seem fine! Mostly I just loooove the feeling of swiping it on fresh from the fridge, and the coolness does calm down the skin and sooth any puffiness. I still make my own Rosewater Toner with wilting discount grocery store roses and a few drops of lavender oil.

Goops:

Lacura Day And/Or Night Creams: These are SO AFFORDABLE (I'm using Amazon links for ease of reference, they are WAY cheaper directly from Aldi) and make your skin feel like butter. After washing and toning one or the other is what I glop on next, and a little goes a long way. Night cream is important because the skin under your eyes especially is so super thin, it needs that protection as we get older. But eye creams tend to be STUPID EXPENSIVE. Lacura is around $4 at Aldi and I legit see very little difference between it and the unsustainably expensive ones I've tried in the past.

Ponds Dry Skin Cream: The old reliable. I have used it since I was 19 and Oprah said it was good, lol. If you use nothing else on your face, use this (but also sunscreeen, dear gods). After Day or Night cream, this comes next.

A good rule of thumb for all moisturizers is that you don't want it to disappear into your skin immediately OR stay too greasy. As I've gotten older, this one sits on my skin longer, so I tend to only use it at night in the summer. Once it gets cold and dry out, though, morning and night baby.

Vaseline Cocoa Radiant: For the all-over-rest-of-me, you really can't beat it. After every shower or bath, all over everything, damnit. LUBE YOUR DERM.

Oil:

Olive Oil Squalane: My last step of the night is topping my face with a good Squalane before bed. My old job discontinued the one I swear by, pictured above, which, I have no idea why? It feels soooo nice and I saw such good results in the winter especially. I bought up a bunch of bottles from work before it disappeared, haha but there are soooo many options out there for a lot of different prices. Basically you want the main ingredients to be Olive Oil & Herbs, usually Rosemary.

Treat Yourself Tier:

Innersense Harmonic Treatment Oil: I was given a gift card to them for my birthday last year, and yeah they're reeeeeally wom-wom and a little insufferable in their marketing, and they're expensive. HOWEVER, this stuff is infuriatingly great? Nothing was helping my dry scalp until this. I use it instead of the Squalane maybe once a week on my face as well, and it definitely clears up any redness or irritation right away. How dare it be good and also $25 an ounce. But if you can treat yourself, why not!

Dead Sea Mud Masks: Masks are FUN, damnit. If you can ignore all the annoying "detoxing" claims and blah blah, it is a fact that mud masks can really flush out those pores. And they feel nice!

General Habits:

Wash Your Pillowcases: They're full of your face goo, skin cells, and slobber. Not only good for your skin, but just nice. Wash your sheets/bedding more regularly in general, if you're like me then I know you're not doing it enough. Make the change to fragrance-free detergent now if you haven't already, that shit could start bothering your skin at ANY time. My mother never had a problem with good ol' Tide, until she turned 60 and suddenly ANY fragranced soaps made her skin explode.

Wash Your Makeup Tools: Same as above, I regularly gross myself out watching all the GUNK that's stored in the pretty pink makeup brushes.

Wash Hats, Headbands, Etc: Hopefully the pattern is sinking in. If it touches your skin regularly? It should be washed regularly. It's easy to remember that your clothes do, of course, but there's so many other things as well that are fulla your skin cells, various products, pollution, and sebum. Scientists could probably clone you with access to the inner band of your favorite hat alone.

SUN SCREEN: EVERY TIME YOU GO OUT IN VIEW OF THE FIRE ORB. Sensitive face/skin? Baby sunscreen. I know texture is a big thing for people, but there are lots of different brands out there that have lots of different textures, ingredients, scents, etc. Don't give up on it just because Coppertone makes you break out, you owe it to yourself to find the thing that works for you. Skin cancer is a bitch that spares no one, not even Hugh Nicest Man Ever Jackman.

Drink Water: You know it, I know it, same as above, find the way to get regular hydration in that works for you. I personally like making my own fruity flavored syrups to dash in things. Hydrated skin begins from within, blah blah blah.

Vitamins: Take a multi-vitamin, get your vitamin D. The sun is not BEAMING VITAMINS INTO YOUR PORES, it synthesis it. A quick google will tell you that 8-10 minutes in the sun A DAY is all you need. So don't let anyone tell you BUT YOUR VITAMIN D!!!!!!! when you're layering on your sun screen. Take your vitamins, get a teaspoon of sun regularly, and then GOOP UP.

I'm no expert, just someone with a mother & grandmother who greatly regret/regretted their lack of skin care as younger women. My mom is 75 and she has lines and spots, and she's beautiful! But her skin can tear after a clumsy trip into a door frame. She's listening to her dermatologist now to the letter, and I too would like to avoid that as much as possible! We all deserve to like how our spongy flesh prisons feel.

okay i figured i should put together an x-files fic masterlist. please also take this opportunity to harangue me into writing more because i have some ideas but little motivation to start (this might have to do with the fact that i haven't watched any x-files in three weeks)

anyway, here they are in order of writing. i have to mention that i started writing only having seen s1 and am now still only in the middle of s2 so these are wildly canon divergent

"For…real? You must be joking, Mulder. We'd get at best reassigned and at worst fired." He takes his feet off the desk and turns in his swivel chair to face her.

She supposes it takes a fair amount of courage to propose marriage to your longtime coworker, but Mulder has always had courage in great abundance. "So we tell no one. You keep your name.

He's wanted her for the longest time, yearned for her body against his, her lips hot on his, his name in her breathy moans. He lets himself imagine for a moment him finally getting what he's dreamed of. But not like this. Not like this, with her pupils blown to such proportions that the blues of her eyes are but slivers, her skin hot and flushed, her mind not her own. It is not her. She is not doing this of his own volition, he realises, tearing his lips away from hers and moving to put the table between them. He has some idea now of how all those people fucked themselves to death or insanity. "Scully," he says. "Scully, look at me." She does, her hands reaching for him, a mournful, confused look on her face. "Mulder. I want you. Won't you have me?" "Not while you're high on this fucked up… sex pollen shit." --- wondered if anyone had written X-Files sex pollen fic, decided to write my own. this is like if the Midnight Oil plot from Agent Carter and Roald Dahl's Bitch and Gender Bender and Blood all had a baby together.

She is so beautiful. He plays back the pleasurable memories of last night as he takes the elevator down to street level, wetting his lips subconsciously. God, he could fuck her all day and night. He's so lucky to have her as a friend, as a fuck buddy. And one day, fate willing… they might be more. --- Mulder finds himself falling for his coworker-with-benefits, the beautiful and enigmatic Dana Scully, but he's convinced she doesn't return his feelings. Both of them drink a little too much and fuck a little too well. As we all know, you are your most honest self when drunk. Alcohol loosens lips, and loose lips can sink ships... or raise a fleet of emotions and secrets. Will they admit their true feelings to each other? Or will they only and always miss each other in the fog of drunken haziness and miscommunication?

She's already beginning to feel stir-crazy. The rooms are small. She and Mulder have one each, and they share one bathroom and one living/dining space. The ceilings are low and it feels as if the walls are closing in on them. Everything feels claustrophobic, too small for comfort. He's too close for comfort. --- The time passes — it would have passed anyway, but it is infinitely more enjoyable to pass it in each other's arms, knowing that they are loved and wanted. It is so good. The domesticity of it is so lovely, and she doesn't feel claustrophobic any more. It feels right to have him so close to her, to fall asleep next to him, to sit side by side and hold hands under the table when they eat. --- MSR, in the one-month quarantine they were put in after Firewalker

She smiles, but doesn't like the comment.

langly_ringo23 @trustno1 coworkers do NOT talk to each other like this

She's scared for a moment that Ringo's guessed that they're together. She's halfway through typing a DM to him to beg him not to rat them out when she stops, rereads the comment, and decides to leave it.

At least he knows they're supposed to be just coworkers.

Virgin coconut oil, made from the finest coconuts, is a natural wonder that benefits both skin and hair. Its nutrient-rich composition makes it a versatile addition to your beauty routine, providing deep hydration and nourishment.

Apply virgin coconut oil to your skin to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Use it as a hair treatment to strengthen and add shine, leaving your hair looking healthy and vibrant. This oil also serves as a healthy cooking alternative, enhancing the flavor and nutritional value of your meals.

How do you maintain hygiene? And what do you use to keep things lubed? I use a shower hose attachment and baby oil.

I'm a little surprised that I do not already have a post about this.

First, good hygiene starts with a properly fitting cage. The A272 that I wear is about the same diameter and length of my flaccid penis, which means it fits inside the metal tube without getting all scrunched up.

The open cage end is not even big enough to allow my little finger past the first joint. The inside diameter of the cage is about 33mm, which doesn't seem like it would make much difference compared to the 35mm of the CB3000/ Fort, but it's enough to make things much more secure, and gives a better fit so it's not sliding around all day. And the open cage end makes it easy to use a urinal, so I'm not splashing all over. Many cages have just a small round hole at the end that does not line up with your urethra, which means a lot of urine splashes back inside the cage.

I shower at night, and use my fingers to smoosh around as much hot, soapy water as possible into the cage. I can just about wiggle my finger around, and I'll work the cage back and forth. A removable shower sprayer head is helpful. Then I rinse out, dry off, and head for bed.

In the morning, I use a cotton swab to smoosh (word of the day) some unscented Gold Bond lotion inside the tube. This allows my penis to slide around a bit, making it easier to line up with the opening to use a urinal. I also put a generous dab between the cage and my testicles, just to keep my skin from sticking to the metal tube.

The lotion (like oil) helps trap sweat and urine drops, but unlike oil, it will wash out easily in the hot shower later on. Using oil, even coconut oil, traps sweat, urine, and bacteria, but will not easily wash out in the shower. The more closed up your cage is, the more opportunity to get that funky odor. That's why I stick to lotion.

About once a month, Mrs Edge lets me unlock the cage in the shower, where I give the inside of the cage and the outside of my tonker a good scrubbing, and two minutes later, I use some soapy water as lubricant, and lock back up again.

My cage is stainless steel. Plastic cages might benefit from a regular soaking in a mild bleach or vinegar solution, since plastic tends to hold the smell because of the microscopic pores.

[her-reawakening]

Hi, bitches.

*Gossip Girl intro voice*

Her Reawakening is inspired by my very own frontal lobe developing. Let's give it up for her! (applause emojis)

I've found myself in a life long rut. For some reason, I'd thought my life would magically take a u-turn and everything would work out in my favor without my having to work for it. I don't know what kind of delulu I was in but to my shock life doesn't work that way, and it's much harder without a plan.

So let me hold myself accountable here. My future self will definitely read this, and then I'll feel embarrassed about not having done a gotdam fuck thing.

It might have to do with the poison of Social Media which I am apparently very susceptible to, but I have this immense pressure and anxiety to be HER. I want to tear my skin off and put a new one on overnight and reawaken as Her, She. It's so frustrating not being able to do that. You know? Hehe...

I know I can become that version. And you can thinkpiece as much as you want on the dangers of women's toxic and impossible beauty standards on social media but I don't care. *laughs evilly* This is the world we live in and I'd rather enjoy the benefits of being an Angel on Earth. I've only just accepted that I'm starting at a certain point to reach my ideal version, so we're off to a good start. Hopefully whoever reads this will be able to learn from my experiences.

And this is not just the embodiment of beauty, but physical excellence, mental wellbeing, mindfulness, spirituality, social experiences, academic achievement, financial stability etc etc. <3

I want to sleep like a baby knowing I am doing my best to create the life I ENJOY living. I want to be the cuntiest, most solid version of myself. Every breath I take will be proud of me just because I am so excellent.

I have a few goals in mind at the moment.

Eat whole foods 95% of the time.

I am a particularly sensitive person, inside and out. My organs won't accept heavily processed food without making me feel sick, especially with gluten and dairy included. In my experience I have to eat as close to Whole as I can so I will actually feel like a real and functional person. To put this in perspective, eating this way for me is like putting the most expensive oil made for your car and also deep cleaning and detailing inside and out and getting brand new tires and a new paint job. It is a truly incredible feeling and I highly recommend anyone tries it out.

Also, cut out caffeine. I don't want to shock my poor body by going cold turkey so I'm going to slowly cut down my dosages everyday, take it early in the morning (but after two hours of being awake) and drink a lot water with it as well.

Green juices are amazing and my go to for breakfast. They help me feel so revitalized and give me a serious buzz.

I will grocery shop on Wednesday and Prep on Thursdays to avoid feeling overwhelmed of doing it all in one day.

2. Exercise regularly

Workout out 4/wk and Yoga 3/wk

I'm starting out with running since I'm not familiar with the proper forms you need for weight training. I add progression to my workouts of course, one minute longer, .5 miles longer, etc. I also do stair masters, and some leg machines that don't scare me. The glow I get from combining exercise and eating well is insane. It does take a week of 100% commitment for me to get to this 'candlelit within look' but I've done it before so I know I can do it again! I'm going to work out Mon/Tue and Fri/Sat and do an hour of yoga Wed/Thur/Sun! :)

3. Gua Sha/Face massage

I hold all of my tension in my face and traps, so I plan on getting masseter botox for a softer face and TMJ, which is a huge pain for my jaw! In the meantime I will face massage deeply every other day, at 8PM. I eventually want forehead botox as well to help with my frown lines. As an alternative I stick with forehead stickies and it makes a difference.

This is all I want to incorporate right now. They are my most bother some insecurities so I'll do myself the favor and create habits that support them :) I don't want to overwhelm myself and give up completely by too many goals.

Cheers to an update by next Monday!

Xoxo

massage for kinktober <3

kinktober day 8: submitted prompt

(previous days)

max/daniel. 818 words. another man touching max as foreplay. freaks.

-

Daniel’s never been one for sharing.

Watching another man run his hands all over Max – squeezing his thighs, spreading Max’s legs, positioning Max’s body where he needs him to be – it shouldn’t work him up like it does.

This is strictly professional. Post training massage. Absolutely nothing inappropriate happening at all.

But still, Daniel watches. Listens to Max’s groans, little moans, happy sighs, as the massage therapist works out knots and taught muscles. Keeps an eye on the smooth, pale, oil-slicked expanse of Max’s skin on the massage table as Daniel sits in a chair, pretending to be distracted by his phone.

He’s hard in his pants and doing his best to sit still. He’d bet Max is hard, too, but he has the benefit of laying on his belly and hiding it easily as the therapist works him over.

Daniel thinks about the man’s big hands, slick and sliding up Max’s thighs and under the towel to dig into his glutes. Thinks about the hitch in Max’s breaths when the therapist grinds a knuckle into a tight knot. Thinks about Max all relaxed, sleepy, blissed out.

How pliable he gets. How relaxed he is. How easy it would be.

Will be.

When the therapist tells Max he’s about done here and to take his time getting up after he leaves the room, Daniel smirks and gives the man a nod in goodbye as the door finally clicks shut behind him.

Daniel’s out of his seat and over to the massage table before Max has even lifted his head.

“Feeling good, baby?” He asks with a grin, slides his hands down Max’s back to the towel draped modestly over his ass. He doesn’t need this. Whisks it off to the floor and smirks as he gives Max’s ass a squeeze.

“Lovely, yes,” Max says as he makes a move to push himself up onto his arms.

“Just turn over,” Daniel tells him, bites his lip as he moves to the end of the table. Max, of course, does as Daniel says and shifts over onto his back. “Look at you. You got hard while he was touching you, didn’t you?”

Max shivers as he settles onto his back, naked, dick hard between his legs. He gasps as Daniel’s hands curl around his hips and tug his body back to the end of the massage table. His still-oily skin makes it easy and Daniel smirks as he pushes Max’s thighs open and back.

“Could fuck you right now, couldn’t I?” Daniel asks him as he grazes his fingertips up and down Max’s spread thighs, a ghost of a touch, enough to make Max shiver. “So relaxed and happy, aren’t you?”

“Please,” Max whines, nods his head as he looks down his body at Daniel standing at the end of the massage table. “Yes, Daniel,” he says. Willing. Wanting.

Daniel takes a moment to strip out of his clothes, eyes locked on Max lying there, waiting for him. Patient. Submissive. Waiting for whatever Daniel’s next move will be. Complete trust and willingness.

He uses the left-over massage oil to slick his fingers and his dick up, fingers Max a little but he barely needs much. He’s relaxed and blissed out from his massage as is, and always so ready and wanting for Daniel to fuck him at the best of times. So easy for it. Any time. All the time.

When Daniel pushes his dick inside Max he shudders, hands braced on the table at Max’s waist as he grinds in slow, deep, easy.

Max moans for it, satisfied and happy, closes his eyes as he lies there and takes it.

He comes inside Max quickly - been far too hard for far too long – and jerks Max off until he comes all over himself, relishing in Max’s high whine as he grinds his hips back onto Daniel’s cock. Shivering as Max’s hand reaching down to grasp Daniel’s hip, pull him in, keep him inside.

“Fuck, Max,” Daniel grins down at him, rocking his hips inside Max to let them both ride it out, feels his arms tremble a little on the table. He gives in and leans down, licks at the come on Max’s belly and bites him gently just to hear Max laugh.

“I was already wanting to sleep after the massage,” Max laughs, squirming at the tickle of Daniel’s teeth. “Now of course I think I really cannot get up,” he says and Daniel laughs, too.

He finally pushes himself up again, eases out of Max’s body and smiles at the little whimper Max lets out. Daniel swipes the towel up from the floor to clean Max up with, gives himself a perfunctory wipe as well, and reaches for his clothes to re-dress.

When they hit the hallway a few minutes later Daniel smirks, self-satisfied, with the way Max steadies himself with a hand on the wall.

Downsides and dangers of the Carnivore diet - part 3

For some reason the "clean beauty" movement has gotten to the Carnivore community, and now they too are sold on the notion that natural is always better... as long as of course we're talking about natural, home-made animal products, meaning slathering your face with lard or beef drippings.

"Clean beauty" believers say that anything that's artificial is inherently bad for you and toxic and pollutant, and that any commercial cream will cause endocrine disruption and toxicity and cancer etc.

One of the artificial products they most love to vilify is petrolatum (AKA baby oil, mineral oil, vaseline, vasenol, etc, these are all different names for the same thing). Every "clean girl / boy" will tell you this is the devil. When in fact it's one of the most shelf stable and non-toxic products you could ever hope to use on your body. It moisturizes because it's an occlusive, i.e. it retains the moisture on your skin and without clogging your pores. It's super inexpensive, plentiful and widely available. Even the poor can use it to good effect and without breaking the bank. So of course it's just not good enough for the Gwyneth Paltrows of this world and their superstitious belief in all things natural.

This is especially dangerous advice when they also tell you to forego sunscreen and to just let sunshine hit your skin without any kind of protection, otherwise how are you going to reap the benefits of producing your own vitamin D, and however did our ancestors survive skin cancer if they weren't wearing any sunscreen, etc.

They quite simply know fuck all about what they're talking about.

Do not forego sunscreen. Lots of people who are not sun worshippers and who have never gone into a tanning bed have nonetheless died of skin cancer. I once heard this dermatologist from Seattle, Washington (the cloudiest, rainiest, least sunshiny state in the US) say he nonetheless diagnoses his local patients with skin cancer all the time.

It's pathetic to see women in the Carnivore community in their fifties and older brag about their youthful appearance, all thanks to their diet, and their sycophantic guests (or maybe just polite guests) exclaiming how great they look... all the while looking super wrinkled up and prematurely aged. No doubt they look way better after losing many pounds of fat on the diet, but a youthful-looking skin they do not have.

If there's anything at all that the Carnivore community proves every day (a community full of aging, balding men and wrinkled up women full of sun spots) is that a diet can not prevent signs of skin ageing - sunscreen can. Proper, commercial, chemical-laden, totally unnatural, totally artificial sunscreen in a plastic bottle.

I grew up at a time when the skin care industry was a pure scam pulled off by men who were no more honest than the Wizard of Oz: it was all about selling you moisturizers of different colors and odors at a premium price. The smaller the bottle, the higher the price, and the most outlandish the allegations of erasing all signs of visible aging.

In the mean time just some greasy hand cream that sold for merely pennies a litter served you much better, and that's the truth. So much money that women just flushed down the drain in creams that did nothing for them. They were buying the dream, not the reality. Everybody aged at the same speed.

However - and I never thought I'd be saying this one day - things have in fact changed. The industry is no longer made of total bullshit. I'm not going to call these new-fangled things a miracle, but now you have all kinds of acids and retinols and peptides and led light face masks n'shit that actually do work in ameliorating and even reversing visible signs of skin ageing... as long as you actually use them diligently, like with everything else that also works.

It's sort of fascinating to see IRL women show proof of how they really do look ten years younger ten years later, since they've started availing themselves of these new strategies. And I'm only sorry I don't have a crystal ball to see how young women in their 20s who have already started using these methods will look when they turn 50, and then 70 and so forth. Can women of the future completely avoid ever having to undergo plastic surgery? If so, this is something that radfems should be celebrating. Feminist women and misogynist men alike, we all want to look youthful.

TL;DR don't listen to Carnivore skin care advice, they literally don't know what the fuck they're talking about. If you don't wear sunscreen you'll look really old real soon and you'll be needlessly risking skin cancer. The Carnivore diet is not a cult or a life style, it's just a diet for those who need it. You don't have to get fetishistic about animal products to the point where you start believing that natural and animal is always best, as if "unnatural" man-made things couldn't be infinitely superior and better for you. They sure can.

Title: The Wonders of Omega-3: A Comprehensive Guide to its Health Benefits

Introduction:

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats for maintaining overall health and well-being. While the human body cannot produce Omega-3s independently, they are abundantly found in various foods and dietary supplements. One of the most popular sources of Omega-3 is fish oil, renowned for its numerous health benefits. So, if you are looking for the best omega 3 supplement brand- look no further than Naturaltein. Check out our store for other supplements and the best whey protein supplements for improved performance and overall health.

Meanwhile check the article and know the benefits of Omega 3.

Understanding Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Omega-3 fatty acids comprise three main types: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),  and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is primarily found in plant-based sources like flaxseed and chia seeds, while EPA and DHA are found more in fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines.

1. Heart Health:

Omega-3s are celebrated for their heart-protective properties. Research has shown that EPA and DHA can help reduce triglyceride levels in the blood, lower blood pressure, and prevent the formation of dangerous blood clots. These benefits collectively contribute to a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, making Omega-3 an integral part of cardiovascular health.

2. Brain Health and Cognitive Function:

DHA, in particular, is a major component of brain tissue. It is crucial for brain development and maintenance throughout life. Studies have pointed out that consumption of Omega-3s may improve cognitive function, memory, and mood. Additionally, Omega-3s have been associated with less risk of age-related cognitive decrease and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

3. Inflammation and Immune Support:

Omega-3s possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which can help alleviate chronic inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is related to numerous health conditions, including arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and autoimmune disorders. By reducing inflammation, Omega-3s can provide relief and support to those suffering from these conditions.

4. Joint Health:

Individuals dealing with joint pain and stiffness due to arthritis may find relief with Omega-3 supplementation. EPA and DHA have been shown to reduce joint tenderness and improve overall joint function, enhancing mobility and quality of life for people with arthritis.

5. Eye Health:

DHA is a significant component of the retina, the eye's light-sensitive layer. Consuming adequate Omega-3s has been associated with a lesser risk of age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of sight loss in older adults.

6. Pregnancy and Child Development:

Omega-3s are vital for properly developing the baby's brain and eyes during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Expectant mothers who consume sufficient Omega-3s promote healthy brain development in their babies and may reduce the risk of preterm birth. 

7. Skin Health:

Omega-3s can have a positive impact on skin health. Their anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis and promote skin hydration and elasticity.

Conclusion:

Incorporating Omega-3 fatty acids into our diet can offer many health benefits, whether through fatty fish, nuts, seeds, or supplements. From supporting heart health to nourishing the brain and easing inflammation, Omega-3s are a powerhouse of nutrients. However, balancing and avoiding excessive consumption is essential, as high doses can interfere with blood clotting. As with any dietary changes or supplements, consulting with a healthcare professional to analyse the right Omega-3 intake for individual needs is recommended. By harnessing the wonders of Omega-3, we can take significant steps towards promoting our overall well-being and leading a healthier, more vibrant life.
