The Best Online Shopping Experience for Natural Products: Handcrafted Soaps and Unique Stone Jewelry

In today’s world, online shopping has revolutionized the way we buy personal care products and unique accessories. With a growing demand for natural and eco-friendly items, platforms like plantlife.net have become the go-to destination for consumers who seek high-quality, sustainable products. Whether you're looking for natural hand and body soap online or exquisitenatural stone made jewelry online, there’s a wide range of choices that combine luxury with nature’s best offerings. Let’s explore why these two categories have gained immense popularity and how shopping online for them brings convenience and quality right to your doorstep.

The Growing Popularity of Natural Hand and Body Soaps

Over the past few years, there has been a notable shift towards natural personal care products. Many people are moving away from synthetic chemicals in favor of more organic and natural ingredients. Natural hand andbody soap online have become a preferred choice for individuals who want to pamper their skin while avoiding harsh chemicals commonly found in mass-produced soaps.

These natural soaps are typically crafted with essential oils, plant-based ingredients, and other sustainable materials that are gentle on the skin. Ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter are often used to create moisturizing and nourishing soaps, offering a luxurious cleansing experience. When purchasingnatural hand and body soap online, customers can access a wider variety of products than they would in a traditional store, ensuring they find exactly what they need for their skincare routine.

Additionally, purchasing soaps online gives customers the chance to read reviews, check ingredient lists, and compare prices to find the best products for their skin type and preferences. With eco-consciousness at the forefront, many online stores, including plantlife.net, provide biodegradable packaging and sustainable sourcing for their soaps, further enhancing the appeal of natural products.

Embracing the Beauty of Natural Stone Jewelry

In addition to skincare products, natural stone made jewelry online has captured the attention of fashion enthusiasts worldwide. Natural stone jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings, is loved for its unique beauty and healing properties. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with no two stones being exactly alike, which makes wearing natural stone jewelry a special and personalized experience.

Natural stones like amethyst, turquoise, jade, and quartz are often used to create stunning, handcrafted jewelry pieces. These stones are not only aesthetically pleasing but are also believed to have various metaphysical properties, such as promoting healing, protection, and emotional balance. When buying natural stone made jewelry online, customers are exposed to an expansive selection of styles, designs, and stones that may not be available locally.

Moreover, many artisans and small businesses that specialize in natural stone jewelry place a strong emphasis on ethical sourcing and environmentally friendly practices. By choosing to buy online, shoppers can support artisans who prioritize sustainability and craftsmanship. The convenience of browsing online stores allows customers to explore detailed product descriptions, check for authenticity, and make informed purchasing decisions.

Why Shop for Natural Products Online?

The decision to shop for natural hand and body soap online or natural stone made jewelry online comes with a variety of benefits. One of the main advantages is convenience. With just a few clicks, you can browse a wide range of high-quality, natural products and have them delivered directly to your door, without ever needing to leave the comfort of your home. Additionally, online stores often offer detailed product descriptions, including the ingredients used or the stones featured in the jewelry, giving you all the information you need to make an informed purchase.

Another advantage of shopping online is the ability to compare prices and read reviews from other customers. This transparency ensures you are getting the best value for your money while purchasing items that align with your values. Many online platforms also offer a broader selection of products that may not be available in local stores, especially when it comes to specialized items like natural stone jewelry or organic soaps.

Furthermore, shopping online for eco-friendly products aligns with the increasing desire for sustainability and environmental consciousness. Many online shops, including plantlife.net, focus on offering products that are not only beneficial for personal use but are also gentle on the planet.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re looking for a luxurious, natural hand soap that nourishes your skin or a beautiful piece of natural stone jewelry that reflects your unique style, shopping online provides a convenient and fulfilling experience. The trend towards natural products continues to grow as more people seek ways to incorporate eco-friendly and sustainable choices into their daily lives. When you choose to shop for natural hand and body soap online or natural stone made jewelry online, you’re not only investing in quality products, but you’re also supporting artisans, sustainable practices, and your own well-being.

net meet cute

aka: how they start cyberstalking you. Some of these are more on the innocent side, some are slightly more intense.

Gaz sees you pop up in the people you may know section. He most certainly doesn't know you, but you are his type. As it turns out, you have some ridiculously distant relation of people that leads to his circle of connections (you're like his sister's college roommate's wedding photographer's cousin or something). But that one little tether is enough to make him feel tugged.

Soap started following you for your artwork. He follows anyone who even remotely interests him, and he liked what you made. You become a name he looks forward to on his feed-- he feels a bit parasocial about it, he knows your body of work so well now. And one day, he sees you share a post you were tagged in: It's a photo of you with another artist, both holding up the pieces you'd made to trade each other at a convention. He'd known you were talented, he didn't realize you were gorgeous as well.

Ghost sees you in the background of a video Soap shows him. Some disgusting display where people are trying to identify liquids they're drinking. When it's your turn, your face twists and you stick out your tongue, a little patch dyed umber from the soy sauce you'd sipped. He does a little detective work, finds you have a tiny little channel of your own. Nothing with a consistent schedule, clearly just a hobby, but there are a few videos of you restoring old toys, repainting dolls faces and things like that-- usually just showing your hands, but he finds your voice so soothing and you work with such delicate precision. Pretty soon he's obsessed with you, and fantasizing about ending up on your work table.

Price has very few reasons to surf online, but he does have a guilty pleasure: r/AITA. He loves a bit of tabloid level gossip now and again, and its the perfect place for it. He can see the world's most delusional people hard at work. His favorite ones are when both sides are clearly deranged and meant for each other. But then he sees you, posting about your shitty boyfriend, and all too willing to take the blame for the sorry state of things. And he finds himself rather keen on showing you how girls like you ought to be treated, as well as kicking your current man in the teeth.

I've mentioned this before, but I think König meets you in an online game. At first, you never speak on the microphone, and he doesn't either, but you're quite good, and your playstyle compliments his rather well. So he sends you a friend request on a whim, you accept it, playing a few rounds before turning on the party-only voice chat. And once he can hear you when you thank him for tanking damage, or targeting a player who'd been flanking, or pinging a pick-up for you, he's cooked. Looking you up on every social, trying desperately to find pictures of you, because he's sure you'll be as pretty as you sound.

Nikolai find you on a movie review website. He watches movies by the dozen when he gets some time off, but he's admittedly a little bereft of discussion partners, so review suit him fine. He typically disagrees with most of them, partially because he's naturally a contrarian, partially because the majority of online reviews are made by casual watchers and not lifelong cinephiles. And he comes across you, having written one of the only full, multiple-paragraph reviews for the obscure little number he'd just watched. And it straight up made him smile. Your review was punchy, funny, addressed multiple areas including the score, cinematography, casting, and costuming, and he agreed with a surprising portion of it. What he didn't agree with, he was intrigued by. He looks at your page to see what else you've written. You've seen and shared thoughts on many of his favorites, but quite a few things he's never seen, as well. He ends up watching them all, and feels a certain perverse excitement when it comes time to read another review, like he's a teenager taking you on a third date. Before long he's wondering where you are, if you go to the cinema. If they have non-hostile airspace.

Nikto finds you on the staff of some insanely obscure wiki/ID forum. Like, you help run a website/blog that's devoted exclusively to soviet era stuffed animals produced in Sergiev Posad (formerly known as Zagorsk). You help people identify them from pictures, from vague descriptions sent in to you of something from their childhood. He doesn't know why, but he ends up searching up images from others, often from unpopular and defunct listings on marketplace/bidding sites just to send to you. Just to read what you have to say about the stitch markings and stylistic eyes and the little tab of fabric on the leg seam from where the tag was cut. Maybe he'll take it further, maybe he won't. Maybe he'll find out where you are, just to make sure you're safe. Maybe he'll have to keep you safe. People with hearts like yours don't last in this world.

A Very Niche Level-Up + Looksmaxxing Idea List for 2025

This list is for the girls that get it. It’s niche and not for everyone, but I’m throwing up at the fact that every “how to level up in 2025” post talks about journaling sad pages 24/7, drinking 8 cups of water a day, and walking 10k steps. How original.

Again, this is a very niche set of ideas. If you can’t relate then you can’t relate. But if you enjoy a good plastic surgery post and luxe lifestyle, maybe you will :)

1. Upgrade your car. We’re getting the Lexus’, the BMW’s, the Mercedes, the Jag’s, etc.

2. Upgrade your home. We’re living in high rises, we’re living in coastal areas, we’re living up in the mountains, we’re living where Amazon can drop our package off and we don’t have to worry about a porch pirate; we’re living in nice areas and in nice units/homes.

3. Breast augmentation.

4. Rhinoplasty.

5. Medical grade skincare.

6. Fresh, organic whole foods; focusing on lean protein, nuts and seeds, mushrooms, onions, leafy greens, pro/prebiotics, sea moss gel, etc.

7. Russian manicures and pedicures or a good acrylic set. Dip powder had its thing for a while but I’m not going to dip my nail in a powder everyone else dipped their nails. I bet they don’t even wash their hands and if they did, they prob didn’t even use soap.

8. Laser hair removal. Everywhere. If you want a design down there that’s cool, but you literally use the bathroom and it drips in the hair. “Oh but I use a wipe”. Okay, next time you need to wash your hair.. don’t use shampoo. Use a wipe. Invest in a bidet but still, hair shouldn’t be in your 🍑 or near the sensitive areas of your 🦋 the top is fine but if you have a period, pee, or “the other thing”, hair should be no where near those areas.

9. Lip filler. Everyone can benefit. Ask for a pout that sticks out a little bit. I don’t suggest a lip flip, I couldn’t do anything with a lip flip and it was driving me nuts.

10. Fake tan. Sunlight is fine but a spray tan just makes you look a million times better. Every skin tone and every race benefits from a spray tan. Trust.

11. Muscle definition. Muscle looks so much better than fat AND bones. You want muscle. Did you see how Bella Hadid had her foot on our necks at the VS fashion show this year? I was sickkkkkk.

12. Long hair. But if you have a face shape like Hailey Beiber, short hair looks better.

13. Makeup. Remember water-based products and oil-based products don’t mix, so make sure you choose your products wisely so your makeup doesn’t separate and you look a mess.

14. A better paying job. I left my hospital job and now I work in luxury real estate and international yacht sales.

15. Red light therapy for face and body. I have a body red light therapy dome that I got online for around $3,000 (USD) and it’s life. The one I have for the face is from Sephora and I spent like $400-$500 on that one. Whatever it says on the website.

16. Lashes. If you’re a pro at strip lashes, then yes. But I get my lashes done. Do not go crazy. Natural lashes are in so I ask for a classic whispy set focused for thickening my lash line and NOT for length.

17. Morpheus8 for skin tightening. I used it on my inner thighs and it literally saved my life

18. Lipo. If you’re a good candidate, get it. Sometimes belly pooch is hard to lose. I don’t have a pooch but I’m sure when I have kids I will.

19. Vampire facials. I can confidently say my best facials were vampire facials. My med spa charges around $950 for each facial

20. People can tell you’re wearing Shein. Their clothes are cute online but I’m going to hold your hand when I say this, they never look flattering in person when they’re being worn. People can see the loose thread and the see-through material. They also don’t fit anyone well and makes a lot of you look square. You get what you pay for in clothing. Learn about the basics of clothing and you’ll quickly only buy quality.

Yeah this list isn’t meant for everyone, but walking 10,000 steps isn’t going to take you to the next level. Neither is drinking water. They’re good habits, but they’re not going to level you up. And yeah I understand my list requires having money, but this is literally what my blog is about.

My 2025 Mindset Level Up book is here!

The Spirit of Gluttony - The Gamer

The spirit of gluttony didn't have far to travel - in a nearby apartment building, the spirit encountered Will. Will was a gamer in his mid 20s. With dirty blond hair, and a nose too large to be considered conventionally attractive, the spirit sensed something of a kindred nature in the man. Will was already working on something of a dad bod, his belly soft and flabby, his arms weak from lack of exercise. Entering the body, the spirit found Will ready for him. Already inclined towards laziness, Will had no real issues with growing fat. The spirit made himself right at home.

Will, seated as his computer, found himself pushed away from the desk as his belly expanded outwards. Will felt his hands caressing the soft fat in a daze, moving on their own. He felt himself rise in his chair as his ass expanded, and he turned to catch a peek at the transformation. His clothes felt like they were strangling him, and his body rose and undid the pants, and he sighed with relief. The buttons on the front of his shirt strained mightily against his growing belly, but pinged one by one off, smacking into the wall above his computer. His belly jiggled on and out with each bursting button.

Will felt that he should have been stunned - that he should have been horrified at what was happening to his body, but he felt himself accepting it. This was right. This was how he was meant to be. The spirit delighted in the space in Will's body. He still didn't fit, but there was time to fix that. He directed Will's body over to the phone, and ordered a couple of pizzas. There was plenty of work to do to make these changes permanent to Will.

Months flew by as the spirit continued to share Will's life. The spirit changed Will's gamertag to "FattyWill" and laughed within himself at the coupled shame and arousal that filled Will's body. Will's family and friends watched in bewilderment at the changes in Will's body and lifestyle, but everyone accepted the new Will. The spirit worked hard to plant new habits in Will, enforcing the man's natural laziness, and making sure that Will got used to always having snacks on hand as he gamed. It was so easy when he could place a recurring order online to have junk food shipped to the apartment.

Will woke one morning - he felt his fat pressing him into his bed, and felt the accustomed~arousal as his body jiggled around him as he fought his way to his feet. Moving into the bathroom, he stripped off his underwear and climbed into the shower. The warm water slicked over the body and he lathered himself well with soap. Feeling the urge to piss, he fumbled against his belly to reach for his dick. He couldn't reach it. There was too much fat in the way. Will felt horror and disgust rising within him - he couldn't even reach his own dick. He slammed off the water and stepped out of the shower, scanning the bathroom for his scale. Why had he ignored the scale all these months? He stepped on, and to his horror and disgust couldn't even see past his own fat to the reading. Grabbing his cell phone, Will was able to snap a picture of the reading from under his belly. 403 pounds. As he stared in horror at the number, the spirit was thrust out of the body, in spite of his efforts to calm Will. Without the spirit in his mind, Will started to cry, even as his dick hardened as he stared at the number on his phone.

The spirit was pleased with Will, and hung around to ensure the man didn't lose his mind. Without the spirit, Will packed on another five pounds, even though he told himself on a daily basis that he would begin to diet the next day. The spirit of gluttony had nothing to worry about with Will. He was going to do plenty of growing on his own - his sense of arousal planted by the spirit was tied to his own fat.

2024: a year of transformation pt. 1

As 2024 approaches, im sure most of you are thinking about transforming your life. But I personally believe that transforming your life starts in December, not January. So here is the first part to transforming your life. Introducing: health is wealth.

health is wealth

Health is crucial for well-being, but most forget to take care of all aspects of it.

Skincare:

1.) Figure out your skin type:

There are numerous skincare quizzes online and youtube videos. Knowing your skin type is so important so that you can truly take care of your skin barrier.

2.) Products:

You don't *always* need crazy expensive skin care products to heal and clear your skin. I love CeraVe because they are affordable and available in most stores. If you are unsure, consulting a dermatologist is a great idea.

Regardless of your skin type, here are three basic and crucial steps of your skincare routine

Cleanser:

Find a cleanser special to your skin type and use in the morning and night. I like to double cleanse with a cleansing balm and my regular cleanser in the night using the CeraVe hydrating cleansing balm and the CeraVe hydrating cream-to-foam cleanser (I have dry skin) to remove any dirt on my face. Make sure when using a cleanser you take your time to cover all parts of your face and ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS before washing and touching your face.

Moisturizer:

Regardless of whether or not you have oily, combo, dry, etc skin, hydration is important for soft and nourished skin (especially if you live in a dry or cold climate). I use the CeraVe moisturizing cream which really hydrates my dry skin. Do some research on what moisturizer will hydrate your skin without adding oils and buildup.

Sunscreen:

Sunscreen is incredibly important to protect your skin against UV rays and blue light. Suprisingly, blue light from devices can affect your skin. To avoid skin cancer, use a sunscreen. I use the Black Girl sunscreen and the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen which don't have whitecasts and give a really glowy look. They are great for more melanated skin and last throughout the day. When researching sunscreens, look for those which don't give off whitecasts and for ones that are SPF 50

3.) Its bigger than your skincare:

Diet, stress, sleep, mindset, water, the vibration you are at (all of which I will cover later) play major roles in the appearance of your skin. When you fuel your body with nutritious food and ample water, you glow more. You look healthier, and skin will clear up more. Give it time and trust the results. Get atleast 7+ hours of sleep and manage your stress levels. Improving your mindset and operating at a higher vibration improve everything, and you will glow more.

Additionally, your hormones, allergies, etc may affect acne and skin. Consulting a dermatologist is amazing for this.

Also, don't feel pressured to buy the newest skincare products. Invest in affordable and quality skincare products.

4.) Natural:

I love using natural resources and ancient ayurvedic techniques to improve my skin. I use aloe vera gel in the night on my face because of its numerous nutrients and benefits for the skin. Get 99-100% natural aloe vera gel for this.

Qasil powder is a natural somali soap which is incredible for your skin. Its known as the purest cleanser for the skin and body. Make sure before you buy it, that it is 100% true Qasil powder.

Look to make face masks with natural resources. From my culture, turmeric is amazing for the face, but don't leave it on for too long. Search online for homemade face masks with turmeric. Honey is also amazing for skin as well.

Research on different natural resources (especially ayurvedic skincare) because they are age old practices which are great for skin.

Body Care and Hygiene:

Hygiene is so so important for health (also so you don't stank)

1.) Shower:

When showering, cleanse from top to bottom. From behind your ears, to neck, all the way down to feet. Use soap or a body wash to remove all dirt from the day and make sure you wash your underarms, feet, privates, and butt. DON'T wash your down-there with soap because it'll mess up your pH balance, no matter how tempting it might be. Water is enough. I like the method body wash because its super affordable and smells amazing (especially the nourishing wash and pink peony). I would also recommend African Black Soap because its amazing for your skin on body. There are so many benefits to using it, you can never get enough!

For odor, I love using the panoxyl benzoyl peroxide wash to remove bacteria from my underarms. I leave it on for 2-3 minutes and wash it off. It does a great job of removing the onion-y odor from your armpits. I would highly recommend (get the 4% one) because its also really cheap.

For softness, I like to exfoliate my arms, stomach and chest area, legs, feet and back. It removes all of the dead skin cells and excess dirt that may be on your skin. I do this once a week and my skin feels AMAZING after.

2.) Shaving:

Shaving is COMPLETELY AND ENTIRELY your choice. Never let anybody tell you you have to shave. I love shaving because I love the way my skin feels, but thats my personal liking. I wax my arms and shave my legs. When shaving, use a shaving cream. I like the Athena Club cloud shaving cream and its affordable. I recommend 5 blade razors and make sure you exfoliate before shaving. Lastly, just be gentle when shaving.

3.) After shower:

I love to lotion-ize my entire body (especially in the winter) after showering in the night. It hydrates your skin overall and avoids cracking of the skin. I LOVE the vaseline body lotion (its cheap) and smells amazing. For dyer areas, I recommend shea butter. Don't forget about the heels of your feet, your knees, elbows, and hands because they can get the driest in the winter. If you want to go the extra mile, using a body oil makes your skin feel great after the shower and adds extra glow

4.) Deodorant

Deodorant should be worn every day on your armpits to avoid odor. I've heard the salt and stone deodorant is great (its $20) but I just use Dove.

5.) Down-there:

Please please do not put random products down there, otherwise your pH balance will be messed up.

Oral Health:

1.) Brushing your teeth:

Brush your teeth atleast twice a day. Brush your tongue as well, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria from your tongue. It really does improve mouth odor. I also recommend using a mouth wash. The TheraBreath anti cavity mouth wash is great (I haven't tried it but I've heard great things about it). Floss everyday in the night to remove things caught between teeth

2.) For white teeth:

I recommend oil pulling with coconut oil for white teeth. It removes that yellow stain from your teeth. To do this, swish a spoonful of coconut oil in your mouth for 20 minutes and spit it out into the trash can.

I also recommend avoiding coffee and chocolate (excessive) because it makes your teeth yellower.

Stretching:

Stretching is so important for your muscles and body movement. Its amazing in the morning to wake up your body and help it move/function better. It removes tension in the muscles and body and can help reduce the likelihood for injuries and cramps. Movement and mobility is so so important for the body.

Yoga is also great for this. There are so many yoga excersises and stretches that work amazing alongside mobility exercises. If you want to feel healthy in the body when you're 80, stretch!

Exercise:

As an athlete, a basketball player, exercise is so important. Being active has numerous benefits, so many that I can't name all of them. Here are some ways to be active:

1.) Go to the gym:

Get a gym membership. Lift weights, yoga, cardio, etc. If you have a dream body, this is the start. However, don't go to the gym solely for the body. Remember this: Health is Wealth. If you are optimally working out in the gym, your body will reflect that. Train so that you can move freely when your old, train to play with your kids and grandkids, do it to enjoy life more. There are hundreds of videos and resources for gym workouts, ill also make another post on this!

2.) Sign up for workout classes:

These can be so much fun! Pilates, spin class, cycling classes, etc signing up for a workout class can make you gain motivation and enjoyment for working out.

3.) Go on walks and runs:

Fresh air has so many benefits for your health. Going on walks and runs especially in the early morning can be not only a great way to wake yourself up, but it can also improve your muscle functions. Plus, you may even discover a new part of town!

4.) Sports and dance:

My favorite! I love sports in general and dancing. Sports and dancing can be so much fun, especially with friends. You can gain so many friends from it.

Aside from this, don't be afraid to try new sports! Its one of the best forms of exercise because you use everything in your body, especially your mind. Here are some sports:

Basketball

Dance

Soccer (football)

American Football

Rugby

Squash

Tennis

Pickle ball

Swimming

Field hockey + hockey

Track and Field

Ice skating

Softball and Baseball

Cricket

I will be doing an in depth guide to exercise and being an athlete in the future!

Diet:

1.) Nutritious food:

You need nutritious food to fuel your body and reap the benefits. Eating more vegetables and fruits will have your entire body thanking you.

Incorporating fruit and veg into your diet can be hard, especially if you're used to processed food. Start by substituting a craving for something sweet with fruits. Eat vegetables with your meals, and better yet make them into your meals. Curries, salads, pastas, burgers, the list goes on. I will do an in depth guide to this later!

Vegetables don't need to be bland. There are so many ways to make them tasty.

2.) Protein:

Protein fuels your body. I'm vegetarian, so I generally get my protein from eggs, nuts, dairy, and lentils. Try working in protein into your meals in a non-fried way.

3.) Dairy + Milk:

Dairy has so many nutritional benefits, and if you're lactose intolerant, dairy alternatives still have numerous benefits. Calcium increases bone strength. Yogurts and cheeses also provide calcium alongside other vitamins such as E, D, B12, etc. When you have breakfast next time, try having a glass of milk (whole milk or soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, etc) or incorporating greek yogurt.

4.) Water:

Drinking water will improve all parts of your body, even your brain health. Drink atleast 64 ounces of water a day (or 8 cups). I would recommend getting one of those timed waterbottles so you don't forget to drink water.

5.) Overall:

Like I said, I will do a thorough in-depth guide to diet later but if you focus on putting healthy, non-processed and homemade foods into your diet, you will reap the benefits. Make sure you eat so that you are nourished. Diet also doesn't have to be restrictive. You can still have the dessert and enjoy the comforts food can bring. More than anything its about being mindful for the nutrition of the food you eat, and knowing the healthiness of it. I guarantee you, if you control your cravings and focus on putting in nourishing and homemade food into your body, you will feel better. What you put into your body will reflect on the outside

A Final Note:

If you really want to transform your life, I think one of the best ways to start is with health and exercise. Use that discipline to channel self-love and care into your life. In 2 weeks you'll feel it. In a month you'll see it. In 2 months people will notice. In 6 months you'll feel like a new person. Start now and you won't regret it. When you feel good on the inside, when you're healthy, you feel accomplished and amazing. More posts will come in the future about spirituality, mindset, the soul, purpose in life, and more. Have a blessed day and lead with love!

Hygiene for Bugging In or Out

You may think that keeping clean and brushing your teeth in an extended crisis situation would be a luxury and something not to worry about. You'd be wrong. Personal hygiene will be very important to maintain during the crisis. Ensuring bodily cleanliness will minimize the chance of infections, skin maladies, transmissible diseases and dental/oral emergencies. You may not be able to shower daily anymore, but there are ways to maintain your basic hygiene, whether bugging in or out.

Body soap is one item you should definitely have in abundance in your stash. Bar soap actually gives you more washing per ounce than the liquids, and takes up less space. You can wash your hair with it as well, so if you don't have space to store a bunch of shampoo, it's not a problem. You can purchase "water-less shampoo/soap", but these bottles will take up a lot of space. Another item to stock up on is packages of baby wipes, which you can wash your body with if water is hard to come by. Even if they dry out, a little water on the wipe will refresh them for use.

Toothpaste, floss and toothbrushes you should also have lots of in your stash. If you get a cavity when there are no dental services available, there's not much you can do besides yanking the offending tooth. Without good oral care, you could also develop an abscess, which can be life-threatening, so maintaining oral health is vital. You should have a tooth extractor in your first aid supplies, in case removing a tooth is your only option to relieve pain and/or treat an oral infection. In addition, it's a good idea to purchase temporary filling kits at the pharmacy to keep on hand that can keep you going for a while if you lose a filling. Oral pain gel is another item worth having.

Then there's toilet paper! Remember the mad rush for it when Covid hit? Certainly, it's an important commodity for both comfort and hygiene, so you should store as much as you can. However, toilet paper takes up lots of space, so unless you have a lot of room for storage, you won't want to prioritize toilet paper over, say, food and water. What to do?

Well, you'll have to adjust to a new way of cleaning yourself after using the toilet. In Europe, most people don't even use toilet paper. They have a bidet next to the toilet, and they simply rinse with clean water and pat dry with a towel. My solution to the toilet paper issue is to purchase a "portable bidet" for each family member. These are squeezable bottles with angled nozzles that you squirt yourself with after you finish your business. Buy some stacks of cheap washcloths at Dollar Tree in a different color for each family member. These are used to blot yourself dry after rinsing.

In terms of feminine hygiene, naturally you'll want to store as much of these items as you have room for. In an extended crisis, however, you may need to move to alternatives. Purchase some old fashioned sanitary pad belts (you may have to look around, but you can still find them for sale online). You can also buy reusable pads, which you have to wash, but that's what women did for centuries! Or you can keep your eye out for absorbent fabrics around your home that can be cut up into foldable strips to use with the belts. One other item that could be useful is "period underwear", which you can find on amazon. These can help prevent leakage that can happen using the old fashioned items.

Finally, have plenty of hand sanitizer in your stash. Soap and water is preferable, but if you run into limited water availability, the hand sanitizer will do the job to clean your hands before eating. In any case, whether you are bugging in or bugging out, personal hygiene is very important to maintain health and safety. Make sure you have all you'll need on hand to keep yourself and family clean and healthy for the long term, in case of an extended crisis.

ratella remastered: in the beginning.

old tumblr had some beautiful fan fic of a homophobic ratty looking man from school, rewriting for the sake of all that is beauty.

i stand, stare and disbelieve the sight before my eyes, I am finally graduating high school and while I am more terrified than ever of what is to come, I know that this is going to open my chances of not only accomplishing everything I've ever wanted, but becoming the girl I was meant to be.

all my life I knew I was different, ever sense I was enrolled into the cheese nibbler academy for divergent and violent rats in kindergarten I knew that something was off about who I wanted to be. off about how when I looked at the most beautiful girls in my class, I felt not a sense of love or sweaty hands and typical childhood emotions, but a feeling of intense and unfixable envy. I pushed this as deep as I could, assuming the alpha male position in my school years binge influences by the works of the most inspirational men I could find to repress my identity. Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate and of course Dreamybull. but thought my elementary school these urge to dress and act more feminine and truly my self did not dissipate, this caused me to repel against all of my natural instincts I was taught at the academy.

so I turned to violence, bullying every smaller rat, mouse and my biggest achievement the eldest neighborhood Cat Maswon Gyatfreigh after I almost fell victim to eating from his litter box. this continued through my young adult life, but no matter how many fights I started and then lost to or how bruised and bloody I was, I always felt an invisible pull towards something more, something I couldn't ever put my finger on as a source for all my hurt and anger.

it wasn't until I was in my last years as a little nibbler that I had finally met my match, my legs never got any bigger but my ego sure did, eventually leading to me finding the man who I realize now changed my life for the better. I was in the hallway at the academy and one of my notorious rivals "the Parm packer" challenged me to a dual which I could not refuse, I began to fight with my friends around me and fully beloved I should take him on, but within 5 seconds I was swept off my feet by his big strong arms. as he began to jump on my head, I felt my skull bang against the floor and the flashes of the cameras were exaggerated beyond anything I had seen, but with one last bang he was pulled away from me and my saving grace was there, the dean of students Melty Briar was there scooping me off the floor and showing the cameras away.

in the days following I came to the most shocking realization I ever had, I was not me. well I was of course but in the way that my body matched my face and my face my hair, but where does my soul fit there? in short, it didn't. I only had a few more years at the academy To go, but after the continuous fighting I was forced to leave for my own safety. while I was home I tried to body build but no matter what I did I never felt like anything of any meaning was changing the way my own soul did not fit into my body. it hit my like a truck 2 weeks after the fight, I just was in the bathroom one day looking down in the shower, slicking my wet fur with soap when the thought went across my head. "imagine I you just had some more curve there?" it seemed innocent enough and I assumed it was just more muscle definition so I started following workout videos on how to grow my hips, glutes, and shrink my waist, this was all rationalized in my head. I had found something I was happy with and it was always a bit more, a bit less there, all until the first time I got misgendered at the grocery store. I couldn't help but like it, even online I had started to go by my name now "Ratella" but there was no way I was a woman, right? was there?

With everything having chemicals in it, and everything either supporting a genocide or insanely expensive, here’s a list of natural beauty products that work better than chemicals imo;

Acne on face or body use African black soap -

Body moisturizing soap- use Aleppo olive oil soap -

Qusil powder used by African women for years as a naturally exfoliating deep cleansing hair and face wash. You mix the water with powder till it foams-

Rose water toner, it’s great for acne, anti aging, redness, sensitive, dry, and oily skin.

Hibiscus tea is a great vitamin C toner, you can dab it on your face as well as drink it for added benefits. Vitamin C evens and brightens the skin tone.

Pure pomegranate juice is another vitamin c alternative not the stuff you get at the store but the juice that comes out of the pomegranate seeds.

Fig seeds crushed and mixed with olive oil are a great natural exfoliating powder for your face -

Pure African shea butter is the BEST natural full body moisturizer you can get your hands on. It makes you so soft and silky. -

Argan oil is an amazing oil for your body face and hair, it promotes skin cell turn over acting as an anti aging agent for your skin, it deeply moisturizes your hair for long silky healthy strands-

Pomegranate and fig oils are amazing sleep masks if you have acne prone skin and breakouts. Slug with them instead of Vaseline.

Use pure Jamaican black castor oil for your eyelashes and eye brows to promote growth.

Use pure Virgin coconut oil as a natural makeup remover. Shea butter can also be used on the lips in place of lip balms.
