i love the sun so much but she hates me 💔

[graevs666]

ugh feel so shit and anxious n cried for the first time n a long time

my lil sister sent our mum the music video she worked so hard on w her friend n they’ve put their own money towards it. they’re so good and talented and I love their gothic jazz

our mum said it was okay but didn’t like it, after my sister was so excited to show her and it hurt her feelings and made her ball her eyes out

n I phoned my mum asking her to apologise bc she upset her n she just said we need to toughen up and tht she feels being honest was best and was just super immature cold unempathetic and defensive being a victim like usual instead of being aware of the fact she hurt her daughters feelings n made her feel like shit

n honestly it’s upset me bc she’s just acting like she has done in the past and I thought she had gotten better, from her mood swings, lack of empathy defensiveness and victim complex

feel like I have to parent her fr always have done and always been made to feel like we’re being too sensitive n making her out to be a bad mum like she says

but fr like why can’t she just keep her shitty opinions to herself and care and support us instead of the exact opposite like whether u like it or not, u should be supporting ur child

gen upset me sm tbh bc I feel so bad for my sister and I feel bad tht my mum just hasn’t changed even tho I thought she got a lot better, she just acts so uninterested in what we say and our interests and talents fr :/

Ingredients

Water, Homosalate, Butylene Glycol, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Glycerin, Phenyl Trimethicone, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Silica, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Dibutyl Adipate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Behenyl Alcohol, Tromethamine, Panthenol (5,000ppm), Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Glyceryl Stearate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Water, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Glyceryl Caprylate, C12-15 Alcohols, Stearic Acid, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Palmitic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Phytosterols, T-Butyl Alcohol, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Tocopherol

To quickly note, I received this for free from Wishtrend for my honest review.

This sunscreen contains 50 grams (1.76 oz) and is fragrance-free.

The sunscreen does have a similar appearance to mineral sunscreens at first look. It's thick but not overwhelmingly so.

It does however blend out like a moisturizer and I didn't notice any streakiness. It does have a very sunscreen-y scent but it doesn't stick around for long.

It's extremely hydrating and moisturizing, it plumps the skin and doesn't feel super tacky or look greasy.

It does brighten some under flash, but it's not a major problem as it's a chemical sunscreen, if you have medium to dark skin, probably avoid this one.

It sits extremely well under makeup and it's a very hydrating base, I'd say you could skip other moisturizers and just use this or you have very very dry skin.

Recommended use is to apply the cream over the face at the last step of your daily skincare. This sunscreen is cruelty-free, pH-balanced, and free of artificial coloring, fragrances, and ethanol and vegan. After using, so to note this does have kind of a typical sunscreen scent but it's not overwhelming and does dissipate pretty quickly; in addition to that, there are no notable irritants in the ingredients. The sunscreen sits nicely on the skin and doesn't pill or bunch up under makeup. It absorbs into the skin and is very hydrating, I think this makes a great moisturizer on its own. I did find this would irritate my eyes, however, so I had to be cautious about that. This also is pretty light so it could or could not be an issue on tan to dark skin. This sunscreen comes with a pump dispenser, the only nitpick I guess that I have is that I prefer to do the 2 finger method and it's usually easier to do with a squeeze tube. It also is not a great option for throwing in a bag as it's not the smallest container. I'd recommend this to anyone really, I find that it's gentle and moisturizing.

What I like: I enjoyed how hydrating and moisturizing this product is. It's great under makeup and it absorbs very nicely. It's very gentle and free of fragrance and irritants. What I don't like: I have no issues with this.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Hydrating

Gentle

Sits well under makeup

Nice quality

Fragrance-free

No irritants

Cons:

None

Would I buy this?

Yes

Rating: 10/10

hello i wanted to request a comfort fic with Law,Zoro and Sanji with their s/o being depressed,stressed

thanks in advance

Hi, sorry this took so long! This is the first time I've written a few smaller scenarios instead of one larger fic and I've gotta say, I really enjoyed it. It was a nice change of pace! So thank you for requesting this 😊 I hope this fic brings you the comfort you need, and that you're doing well!!

Hard Times

Pairing: Law, Zoro, Sanji x Reader

SFW

Summary: You've not been yourself lately, and he's been worried about you. Warnings: Mild Hurt/Comfort, Fluff Word Count: 1.7k total (a little over 500 each)

It didn’t take him long to notice something was wrong. There was a subtle change in you, something a less observant man would have missed. But you always had his attention, and he knew you well. You were a bit slower to respond, your eyes a bit unfocused, your smile less bright. He tried to tell himself it was nothing, that you were just a bit tired, but after the third time of finding you in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, he knew that you needed some more support. He was more than happy to be that support.

Law

Law is a deeply caring man, despite his attempts to appear otherwise, but he is also, unfortunately, terrible at showing it. So he doesn’t talk to you about it, not directly. He instead racks his brain, thinking of every possible way to reduce stress and ways to treat depression. His instinct is to opt for medicine, but he knows he should start smaller first.

“I have a gift for you.” He places it in your hands unceremoniously, trying to hide his delight at your small smile. That’s the most joy you’ve shown in days.

“Thank you, Law! That’s really sweet of you.” You carefully peel back the wrapping paper he had spent far more time than he would admit on, only for your face to show confusion. “A…lamp?”

“A UV lamp.” He says it as though the purpose is obvious.

“Okay?”

“It mimics sunlight.”

You blink at him. “I–you didn’t clarify anything.”

He shifts on his feet, eyes focusing anywhere but you. “We’re down on the seafloor a lot, so you can’t always go on deck for sunlight. And I think some sun will help you.”

Your eyes narrow as you try to put the pieces together. “Why?”

“Sunlight boosts serotonin production.”

You make a soft sound of understanding, before you give him a smirk he would normally hate to admit made his heart skip a beat. “You were worried about me.” You say it like it’s such a victory, like it isn’t something you expected. Clearly he had failed you somehow, if you thought he wasn’t always fretting about you. He typically tries to deny such things, the vulnerability making him feel unsure and small, but you were worth feeling a little weak.

“Of course I was worried about you.” He spits it, like it was so very obvious, and you laugh at him. Normally he would prickle, his defenses growing higher, but that’s the first time he’s heard you laugh in over a week. He would never admit the sound brought a tear to his eye, the relief tearing through him like a hurricane. He can’t help shifting forward, his hands cupping your cheeks as he checks to see if you’ve regained the sparkle in your eyes. It’s dim, but it’s there. He can’t resist kissing you.

You accept his warmth quickly and easily. You practically fall into his arms, nuzzling into his neck when your lips part. “You don’t have to worry. I can handle it. It always passes eventually.”

He sighs, kissing the top of your head. “Just because you can handle it on your own doesn’t mean you have to. You aren’t alone in this. You have me. You have the crew. We’re here for you, whatever you need, whenever you need it.”

Your voice comes out much quieter this time. “I don’t want to be a bother.”

“You aren’t.”

“...You promise you’d tell me if I was?”

He chuckles. “I promise.” He gently takes the lamp out of your hand, places it on your desk, and guides you to your bed. “Now tell me everything you need to get off your chest.”

And, to his relief, you do.

Zoro 

Zoro is blunt. He doesn’t know how to dance around your feelings, and frankly, he doesn’t care to. The faster he breaks through your reluctance to tell him what you need, the faster he can help you, and the faster you’ll be happy.

“Why aren’t you asking for help?”

You jump, not having heard him come in, too busy struggling to ground yourself. “What?”

“Something’s wrong. Why haven’t you come to ask for help?” He’s still dripping with sweat, having just come from a particularly intensive workout that was a failed attempt to distract himself until you finally broke and came to him. He can see you try to avoid his eye, so he gently grabs your chin and steers you toward him. He tries to make his voice gentle, sweet in a way he can never quite nail. “Sweetheart, talk to me. I just want to understand.”

You still avoid looking straight at him, even now, but you finally speak. “I…didn’t want to be a burden.”

He can’t hide his obvious confusion. “Huh?”

You finally look at him, not understanding his reaction. “What?”

“Who cares if you’re a burden for a while?”

You look shocked, “I do!”

“Okay, well no one else does! Everyone is a burden sometimes. No one can do everything on their own. The crew’s job is to help each other.”

“None of you guys have ever been a burden.”

“Were we not a burden, or were you just happy to help?”

You open your mouth to argue again, but he can see the exact moment you realize you really have nothing you can say. You can’t deny helping your crew has sometimes made your life harder. He’s seen it countless times. Your Captain alone has gotten you into dozens of situations you could hardly think about without wincing. But you were always happy to help, and a burden shared is a burden halved.

“Everyone here is happy to help you if you need it. All avoiding us does is make us worry.”

You seem to shrink in on yourself. “I’m sorry.”

He pulls you close, chuckling a little at the discontented noise you make when you realize he’s still sweaty. You squirm halfheartedly, but it doesn’t take long before you snuggle into his warmth. He can feel the muscles in your back slowly start to relax under his hands as you accept his touch. “No need for apologies, sweetheart. Just fix it. Talk about it.”

You hold him tight. “I don’t know exactly what I need. Everything’s just…hard. I don’t remember it always being this hard.”

He tries to ignore the way his heart breaks at how pained you sound. He instead focuses on the positives: you’re here, you’re talking, and you’re willing to accept help if it comes. “It won’t be this hard forever. I’ll be right here to make it a little easier, alright? And you can talk to Chopper for some help, too.”

“...Do you think I should?”

“I think that’s up to you. But we’re here. That’s what matters.”

You spend the rest of the afternoon in Zoro’s arms, and if he sees you sneaking to Chopper’s office later, he doesn’t mention it, though his relieved smile might give him away.

Sanji

Sanji is very in tune with your emotions, often realizing you’re upset before anyone else, and sometimes even before you register it yourself. It’s not uncommon for him to suddenly appear, food and drink in hand, ready to pamper you to your (or, maybe more accurately, his) heart’s content. So you don’t seem to suspect a thing when he starts setting up picnics for you on the deck, each dish carefully prepared to boost serotonin production and the drinks designed to reduce stress and anxiety. You’ve probably had more chamomile tea in the past few weeks than you’ve ever had in your life. 

He sets up the picnic blanket in the perfect location: enough room in the shade for you to rest if you get too hot, but positioned in a way that encourages you to soak up the sun. As you eat, he oh-so-subtly encourages you to talk, maintains skin on skin contact as much as he can, and observes everything he can to improve the next one.

You sit blankly for a while, letting him do as he pleases but not reciprocating, before you finally speak, your voice much flatter than usual. “Sanji?”

“Yes, my love?”

“Why are you doing this?”

He freezes. “Why am I doing what, angel?”

You shift in his arms, forcing him to look you in the eye as you do so. He can’t help but brush a stray crumb off of your cheek, his thumb tracing down to your jaw. You gently catch his hand in your own, squeezing it. “These picnics aren’t just little dates, are they, Sanji? Something is clearly wrong.”

He doesn’t know how to explain he’s worried about you without you feeling pressured to speak. He doesn’t want to push you if you aren’t ready, but he can’t stand to sit by and watch as you drown in your own head. “I–do you have anything you want to talk about?”

“What?”

“You haven’t been yourself lately. I just thought…you could use something like this.”

You seem to relax a bit. “So you’ve been worried about me?”

“Yes. I didn’t want to push you, but you clearly need some help, darling. I was hoping I could make this a bit easier for you.”

You give him a real smile for the first time in a while. “Is this why you’ve been sneaking me so many little treats? And why you’ve been so desperate to keep me away from caffeine?”

He tries not to flush. “I thought you could use a pick-me-up. And I read getting better sleep can help with mood.” He pulls you closer, pressing your face into his neck to hide his redness from you. “I was hoping it’d make talking about whatever’s wrong a little easier for you.”

You snuggle into him, accepting your warmth. “Talking about it is always hard. Everything is, right now.”

“Are you willing to try? I think it might help.”

He can feel your sigh. Your reluctance. But slowly, carefully, you unfurl the tension you’re holding, and you allow him to carry some of your burdens for you. You talk for hours, about everything, including things you were clearly frightened to speak aloud. By the end, you may not be perfectly happy again, but he can see your steps are a little lighter. He’s never been more relieved.

[hollowboobtheory]

can't find the original post and it's that time of year so i'm making a new one!

yearly reminder that lotion isn't the only way to keep your skin moisturized

you got

balms of various sorts even chapstick if that's what you have. the base of the balm will influence the texture. you got shea butter, coco butter, tallow is apparently in this year, bag balm i think is just straight up lanolin (smells kinda smoky and manly too if that matters to you)

oils of various sorts. they can be solid or liquid, avocado, almond, even olive oil is good.

body butters (like a very thick sometimes whipped lotion)

hand creams of various textures and scents (or lack of scents)

if you're a plant person you can get an aloe plant and just pull off a stalk whenever your hands feel dry

vaseline/petroleum jelly products like aquaphor

apparently they make lotion to use in the shower, probably leaves less residue

they make spray moisturizers too

basically just try a bunch of different things and figure out what works best for you

some other reminders because i care about you

the best time to oil up is right after showering/washing your hands. i personally also feel like it leaves less of a lingering residue feeling this way.

human skin doesn't absorb coconut oil. that's why they use it in lube. it's not gonna do shit for your hands. don't pay extra for it.

collagen is a macromolecule and cannot be absorbed through the skin. don't pay extra for it.

the number one thing you can do for your skin in the long term is wear spf. yes even in the winter. the uv rays are still there even when it's cold. yk what's worse than wrinkles? cancer

exfoliants and astringents can really fuck up your moisture barrier, avoid those so you don't need as much moisturizer in the first place

your skin is your first line of defense against infections and a bunch of other stuff so take care of it
