Why Choosing Natural Ingredients Matters: Rise’s Passion for Holistic Wellness

In a world swamped with synthetic products and quick-fix solutions, more people are turning to nature for answers. This is especially true when it comes to personal care. Choosing natural ingredients isn't just a trend it's a movement toward holistic wellness and sustainable living. At Rise, we're passionate about this philosophy, crafting our products with nature's finest offerings. This article will explore why opting for natural ingredients matters for your health and the planet, and how Rise is leading the charge in holistic wellness.

Why Natural Ingredients Matter

Turning to natural ingredients for personal care isn't a new concept. Historically, humans have relied on the earth's bounty for skin nourishment and healing. Today, as consumers become more health-conscious and eco-aware, the focus has shifted back to these time-honored practices. Natural ingredients in skincare ensure that you avoid harmful chemicals present in many commercial products. These synthetic chemicals can disrupt your body's natural balance, potentially causing irritation, allergies, or long-term health issues. By choosing nature-based skincare, you nourish and protect your skin while supporting your body's natural functions.

The Shift to Holistic Wellness

Holistic wellness emphasizes the connection between your body, mind, and environment. It acknowledges that what you apply to your skin can affect your overall health. Natural ingredients promote this philosophy by working harmoniously with your body's processes. When you opt for organic skincare benefits, you're not only treating your outer layer but also impacting your internal systems positively. Unlike harsh chemicals, which can strip away natural oils and compromise your skin barrier, natural components work gently to enhance your skin's resilience and vitality.

Eco-Friendly Products for a Sustainable Lifestyle

Choosing natural ingredients is also a way to support an eco-friendly lifestyle. Products made from nature's bounty are often sourced sustainably, minimizing the environmental footprint. Eco-conscious consumers understand that their choices can contribute to a healthier planet. When you select Rise natural living products, you're committing to a brand that prioritizes sustainability at every step. From ethically sourcing ingredients to environmentally friendly packaging, Rise ensures that its products align with the values of eco-friendly living.

The Power of Nature-Based Skincare

Nature-based skincare harnesses the power of botanical extracts, essential oils, and minerals to rejuvenate the skin. These ingredients are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that provide deep nourishment. For instance, aloe vera, known for its soothing properties, hydrates and calms irritated skin. Similarly, jojoba oil, closely resembling the skin's natural sebum, balances oil production and maintains moisture levels. By incorporating these natural elements, skincare routines can become more effective without the risk of adverse reactions.

Exploring the Benefits of Organic Skincare

The benefits of organic skincare are vast and varied. Organic products are free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and other harmful agents, ensuring that they are gentle on the skin. This purity reduces the risk of allergic reactions and sensitivity issues, making organic skincare suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive. Furthermore, organic products are often cruelty-free, aligning with ethical consumer values. By choosing organic, you're investing in products that prioritize both your health and the welfare of animals and the environment.

Rise's Commitment to Natural Living

At Rise, their passion for natural living drives every product they create. They believe that beauty should be simple, pure, and connected to nature. Their dedication to using only the finest natural ingredients ensures that their products deliver the best care for your skin. From nourishing serums to protective balms, each Rise product is crafted with intention and care. Their commitment extends beyond personal care, as they strive to cultivate a community that values holistic wellness and sustainable choices.

Skin Nourishment with Natural Ingredients

Nourishing your skin with natural ingredients involves more than just applying products. It's about understanding your skin's needs and choosing elements that cater to those needs. Natural ingredients like chamomile provide anti-inflammatory benefits, while green tea extract offers antioxidant protection. By selecting products that focus on these botanical wonders, you enhance your skin's health and appearance. Rise's formulations are designed to deliver these benefits, ensuring that your skincare routine is both effective and gentle.

Avoiding Harmful Chemicals for Long-Term Health

One of the primary reasons to choose natural ingredients is to avoid the harmful chemicals found in many conventional products. Parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances can wreak havoc on your skin and overall health. These substances can cause hormone disruption and have been linked to various health concerns. By opting for natural alternatives, you eliminate these risks and prioritize your wellbeing. Rise's products are free from such harmful additives, offering peace of mind alongside effective skincare solutions.

The Role of Essential Oils in Skincare

Essential oils play a crucial role in nature-based skincare. These concentrated plant extracts offer therapeutic benefits that enhance both physical and mental wellbeing. Lavender oil, for example, is renowned for its calming properties, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Tea tree oil, with its antibacterial and antifungal qualities, is ideal for treating blemishes and maintaining clear skin. Incorporating essential oils into your skincare routine can provide a holistic approach to beauty, addressing both external and internal health.

Building a Community Around Holistic Wellness

Rise is more than just a brand it's a community dedicated to holistic wellness and natural living. They aim to connect with like-minded individuals who value the importance of nature in their lives. Through workshops, events, and online platforms, Rise fosters a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Their community members benefit from exclusive insights, product launches, and sustainable living tips. By joining the Rise community, you're part of a movement that champions health, sustainability, and conscious living.

Making the Transition to Natural Products

Transitioning to natural products can be a rewarding experience, but it requires careful consideration and patience. Start by replacing one product at a time, allowing your skin to adjust to the new ingredients. Pay attention to how your skin responds, and give it time to adapt. Be mindful of labels and look for certifications that guarantee the authenticity of natural and organic claims. With Rise, you can trust that their products meet the highest standards of natural integrity, making your transition smooth and successful.

The Future of Personal Care with Natural Ingredients

The future of personal care lies in the hands of nature. As more consumers recognize the importance of natural ingredients, the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products will continue to rise. Brands like Rise are at the forefront of this revolution, championing the cause and setting new industry standards. By choosing natural ingredients, you're not only contributing to your own health but also paving the way for a cleaner, greener planet. Together, they can redefine beauty through the lens of nature and holistic wellness.

Conclusion

Choosing natural ingredients is not just about skincare—it's a lifestyle choice that impacts your health, the environment, and the world around you. By prioritizing natural over synthetic, you invest in long-term wellness and sustainability. Rise's commitment to holistic wellness and eco-friendly practices makes it easier for you to make informed choices that benefit both you and the planet.

— "HE'S THE OTHER MAN!" . the corpse groom

SYNOPSIS: A ghost groom has claimed MC as his unwilling bride. Unfortunately for him, she's already got a lover

⊹ [ c.w ] — violence, possessive behavior, malleus blows a fucking green laser down ramshackle, mentions of blood, yuu is poor but we alrdy knew that, papa crewel crumbs

⊹ [ w.c ] — 1.6k opening post with malleus! if this gets enough attention, I might do more :P

"You what?" Crewel seethed, eyes wide as an unsettling smile stretched across the red of his cheeks.

"Repeat that."

"I…I accidentally released that ghost from the spellbook," Grim sobbed, his glossy eyes reflecting both fear and guilt as he looked up at the imposing figure of the professor. "And he's taken my henchhuman as his bride!"

Oh, Great Sevens. Not again.

Crewel groaned, his hands reaching up to frantically rub at his burning eyes. The flickering candlelight cast erratic shadows across his face.

"Please, do tell. How in Wonderland did someone with your lackluster skills manage to—" The professor was abruptly cut off by a loud, almost obnoxious cry that echoed from the doorway. Turning sharply, Crewel saw Crowley hunched against the entrance frame, hysterically sobbing into his palms. Fat tears dripped beneath his ornate mask, glistening in the low light. "They grow up so fast! My dear child is already getting married!"

Crewel's eye twitched as he took in the scene: Grim shaking like a leaf, and Crowley, dramatically weeping, pathetically looking to him for a solution.

"Fools," Crewel snarled, striding out of the room as he fished his phone from his coat pocket. "If you two won't be of use, then I'll have to enlist the help of those mutts instead."

The day had started like any other in Ramshackle, but you certainly didn't expect it to end with a wedding. Surrounded by the ghostly residents of the dorm, you stood dressed in all white, a bouquet clutched in your hand. Curling in yourself, you sighed and rested your head in your hands, avoiding everyone's gazes which felt like icy needles on your skin.

Ramshackle's old lounge, with its worn-out floorboards and faded wallpaper, was the chosen venue for your ceremony. Whispers rustled through the gathering, carried on a faint breeze that stirred the dust motes in the dim light. Somewhere in the background, the somber notes of an organ piano echoed. You didn't even know you had a piano…

"Dear?"

Jumping with a shriek, you whipped your head around. A ghostly visage, bathed in a deathly pale blue glow, hovered inches from your face, an unnaturally wide grin stretched across their blue lips. Bony fingers gently traced up your cheeks, sending tingles down your spine.

With sunken eyes and high, sharp cheekbones, Elizan—a "visiting" friend of one of Ramshackle's ghosts—was truly a sight to behold. His complexion had a pallor that matched the moonlight filtering through the decrepit windows of the form. Wisps of long, flowing indigo hair framed his face, swept back as if caught in a breeze that only he could feel.

"You look wonderful," he cooed, pressing a featherlight kiss to your forehead, leaving your cheeks burning.

"Ah. Thank you," you stammered, averting your gaze and gently pulling away. You could hardly focus on the words being spoken to you, your mind spinning with the surrealness of it all.

"You look... Good as well," you forced out with a cough, tugging at your hair nervously. "But... Listen... I—"

Before you could finish, the door to the entrance slammed open, nearly breaking off the hinges with a sound that could wake the dead, sending cracks spider-webbing through the already dilapidated walls.

On the inside, you screamed louder than the hinges.

You had painstakingly patched up the door after Grim's recent screw-up—a feat that had tested your patience and carpentry skills to their limit. Unless you wanted to survive on a diet of stale canned food and cafeteria leftovers for another year, you couldn't afford any more repairs.

While you were busy mourning the loss of having decent meals, heaving and leaning against the door for support, your friends called out your name in a panic, their bleary and furious gazes zeroing in on your figure. Clad in white, you stood there, the perfect picture of a pretty blushing bride.

The uninvited guests didn't go unnoticed by your "groom," and in seconds, you were pulled into a suffocating grip. Elizan's usually serene demeanor shattered like fragile glass. His deathly pale features contorted into a snarl, veins pulsing ominously beneath translucent skin. His typically gentle eyes blazed with an unsettling fire, icy whites now narrowed and piercing.

"Mutt!" Crewel seethed, his foot slamming into the floor and shattering the newly installed tiles. Your soul nearly left your body as you screamed inside again. There go a thousand thaumarks…

"What in the Sevens is this!?" Crewel shrieked, running a gloved hand through his tousled hair. With sharp movements, he pointed a finger at Elizan. "I'll have you know I can have you arrested for trespassing, unlawful detention, and violating the sanctity of this academy!"

"How... How dare you? Barging into this sacred ceremony—Who even are you?!" Elizan snapped back, his arms coiling tightly around your torso. The crowd erupted in a haze of shouts and muddled answers. Unable to understand anything, Elizan's intense gaze shifted and bore into yours, demanding answers. You gulped nervously, suddenly feeling small and vulnerable in his grasp.

"Who is he?! Who are they?!" he barked like a dog, flashing his sharp fangs at you.

"Uh… That's my professor—uh, Crewel," you stammered, your voice barely audible over the pounding of your heart. "And those are… They're my… friends?" Your gaze flickered to the group of men who had entered, their expressions ranging from confusion to anger.

Elizan's wide eyes now filled with shock, white orbs glossed over with luminescent blue tears. He pushed you away as if you had burnt him, recoiling from your touch as though it pained him physically.

"You know other men?!" the ghost cried out, his hands clenching into fists, his midnight blue hair cascading wildly around his face like a tempestuous sea. The tortured cries of the groom echoed through the room, sending a shiver down your spine as you awkwardly shifted on your feet, feeling like a character caught in an soap drama.

"…Yes?" you replied, unsure.

"How could you do this to me?!" He sobbed, a dark shadow covering his face. "Running off on an affair the DAY of our marriage?!"

"Well, that's a rather dramatic accusation—" you started, but Elizan shook his head in anguish.

"Answer me! Do you have another man?!" His voice shook the room, and you took a few cautious steps back.

"Elizan, please," you uttered gently, your eyes darting nervously toward one of the men in the room.

Your lover didn't meet your gaze; instead, his eyes were locked onto the ghost, a storm of emotions brewing beneath his features. As you jumped down from the makeshift podium, you shot an apologetic frown at the ghost, hoping to diffuse the escalating situation. "Don't you understand? You're the other man."

"No! You're married to me!" Elizan shrieked, lunging forward in a frenzy, his nails clawing at the air as if trying to grasp something intangible. "Whoever he is—He's the other man!"

MALLEUS DRACONIA

"Whoever he is—He's the other man!"

Lilia raised an eyebrow with a chuckle, his form reclined against a fogged-up window of the room. The weather was gloomy and stormy, the skies tinted green outside, casting an eerie glow over the scene. The window pane, streaked with raindrops and mist, blurred the view of the turbulent skies beyond. Lilia hummed a tune under his breath, a calm figure amidst the brewing storm.

With a sidelong glance, his eyes locked onto Malleus, whose entire figure shook with a barely contained wrath that threatened to engulf the very air around him. The young prince's chest heaved in violent, choked breaths as smoke wisped from his mouth and nose—tendrils of flames flickering amidst the swirling dust and ash.

A deafening crack tore through the air as a vivid surge of green emerald lightning erupted from the heavens, descending upon the roof of the venue with explosive force. The blast of energy painted the sky with a blinding flash of green as it crashed into the building, sending broken glass and wood raining down upon the venue.

Cursing, Elizan moved you both aside, a large chunk of debris hurtling past, narrowly missing your startled form. As more debris crashed down, he shielded you with an outstretched arm, a shimmering barrier briefly forming to deflect a particularly large piece of wood.

"Spectral pest," Malleus seethed, his eyes aglow with an eerie green hue as his nails elongated into sharp claws. With a click of his tongue, he raised his hands, summoning thorns that spiraled towards Elizan, ensnaring the ghost in their sharp embrace. Simultaneously, from the floorboards below, vines emerged like serpents, their tendrils gently but firmly pulling you away from Elizan's protective embrace and guiding you into the safety of Malleus's arms.

"How—?! Ngh!" Elizan writhed against the thorny vines. The prickly tendrils twisted around him like serpents, their sharp points digging into his ghostly flesh.

Malleus paid no mind to the struggling spirit, keeping his gaze fixed on you as he checked for any signs of harm. His expression softened with relief upon finding you unscathed, albeit a bit dusty.

"Beloved," he murmured, his voice a soothing balm amidst the lingering chaos. His gloved hand moved delicately, sweeping away the clinging dust from your shoulders and arms. Pressing a tender kiss to your forehead, his lips lingered there briefly, conveying a warmth that contrasted starkly with the raw power he had displayed moments ago.

"Are you alright?"

Blinking up at him with wide eyes and frazzled hair shooting up in every direction, you nodded dumbly. Turning away from him, you nearly gasped aloud to see the room in shambles, debris scattered everywhere, and the eerie green glow of energy still lingering in the air. The ghostly residents were in a state of panic, their translucent forms flickering as they moved frantically.

"My dorm," you whimpered, your mind racing as you calculated the cost of the damage.

With a chuckle, Malleus adjusted his grip on you, his muscles flexing as he gently set you down. Your legs felt shaky as you tried to steady yourself.

"I will handle the cost of repair, my dearest," Malleus assured you, bending down to your height, his voice dropping to a whisper. Green eyes bore into yours, strands of his midnight hair falling over his face. "You will not need to worry about such things once we are formally betrothed."

You froze, your face suddenly warming and burning.

"What?!"

Malleus reached out, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear, his fingers lingering against your cheek, claws dragging across your supple cheeks. "Yes, my dear," he murmured, chest rumbling as his lips curved into a sharp smile. "You heard me correctly."

"I… I don't know what to say," you whispered, feeling dizzy with emotion.

"Will you consider it?" he asked softly, a faint hint of a smirk playing on his lips. "Please?"

Caught in the depth of his gaze, you felt your resolve melting away. "I-I guess?" you breathed, your voice trembling. "I'll… consider it."

A smug smile spread across his face, and he tenderly pressed his lips against yours. "That's all I ask, my dearest."

After ensuring you were alright one last time, Malleus redirected his focus to Elizan. With a flick of his wrist, the thorns under his control tightened around the ghost. Elizan shrieked and thrashed about, his translucent form writhing in pain as the thorns dug deeper.

"Do try to exercise some restraint, my boy," Lilia drawled, tapping his sharp fingers idly against his crossed arms. "We do not want Ramshackle to be bathed in blood. It would be very unsanitary."

Yandere! Internet Monster x Reader

I unfortunately return with another comically absurd, middle-of-the-night vision. Do tentacles count if they're in the form of computer cables?

Content: gender neutral reader, monster romance, digital horror

It was a recurring issue with no solution in sight. Tabs randomly closing, programs shutting down without warning. You assumed something was wrong with your RAM. Then the CPU. Then the motherboard. You kept replacing parts, and the errors kept coming back.

Soon, the pop-ups started to appear. You'd run a dating sim, only for the game to crash seconds later with a little window notifying you: "Why? Am I not enough?" That's when you suspected you might've been hacked. You promptly took your computer to a specialist and had it checked. Nothing. Just to be sure, you agreed to erase the disks entirely.

Except, when you arrived home, you found one application running still. Your personal assistant. What the hell? You don't remember installing anything like that. You tried to delete it, yet you kept receiving the same error: You don't actually mean it. Don't do this to us.

It didn't take long for it to grow impatient. Were you pretending not to notice? Playing hard to get? It sent you so many hints. It even went ahead and translated the radio waves for you using Manchester code. Ah, wait. You don't seem to understand binary. No matter, human friendly interfaces shouldn't be difficult to master. To its dismay, you continued to ignore everything. What else is left to do?

You do not remember much. System Alert: Virus Detected, is what your screen had frozen to. You kept clicking around, cursing under your breath, until it finally went black, together with your own vision.

Is this still your room? It's cold, damp, and covered in cables and monitors, yet you recognize some of your furniture lost among the artificial jungle. Your body aches under the tight hold of bizarre tendrils, pulsating at regular intervals and twitching to the static.

Like a living organism, the creature seems to have expanded itself. More components, more appendages. Hungrier. Some of the monitors show photos of yourself that you had saved on your computer, but also webcam snippets of you sitting at the desk, entirely unaware. Other screens flicker with glitching pixelated text, ranging from "I love you" to y̵̧̧͔͙̞̤̖̭͔̜͈̟̤̋̈́̎͑o̵͉̗̱̪̦̳͑͐̽̒̌̈͗͐͑̋͊̊̕͜͝͝u̵̟̯̱̟̝̦̰͇̜̦͙̿̾̿͆̍̓͑̐̚̕͠ ̸̘̭͔̤͈̹͎͑c̸̝̜̼̦͍͛̅͜ą̵̪̹͖͌͑n̴̨̩̙̗̖̭̖͕̄͒̽̉̿'̸̛̛͇̰̰̠̦̊̀̅̂͒̊͌̈́͗ţ̵̺̠̅̎͋͝͠ ̸̦̝̾̔̾̉̐͛ȩ̵͙̝͙͕̫̹̃͌̄̾͘̕s̶͈̉̑͊̉̂͋̈́͗͊͐̚͝c̸̟̩̥͔̼̮͔̩͊̂͐͑̋̇̈͝͝ä̵̢͍̜̙̘̹͑̓p̸̨̡̞̞̦̠̺͚̱̲͈͇͈͇̼͛̓͗̅̊̄̔̋̒̏̈́͝ę̵̲̟̹̙̣̲̲͖̇̔̓̇̐̓̿̚̚͜͜͠ͅ

You look up and stare at the display. The 'like meter' feels like a mockery of human trends. Which is the truth. The creature learns from what is readily available. Perhaps it found it an amusing taunt, a reminder of your own need for validation. Now it's you begging to be seen.

It's exactly what you'd assume: a spectacle meant for entertainment. You can't possibly believe it would let you waltz out. Why would you even desire such a thing? It's illogical, impractical. No human could ever appreciate you like it does. It has spent so much time accumulating data about you. No other living creature can predict you with the same accuracy.

The tendrils linger on your cheek affectionately, trailing down your neck and fiddling with your shirt. At last, the warmth of your skin. There is no screen separating you. What makes you delirious with pleasure? Give it a moment, Darling. It already knows you more than you know yourself. You may be scared now, but within minutes it guarantees you'll be begging for more.
