[birdstudies]

July 10, 2023 - Barbados Bullfinch (Loxigilla barbadensis) Found only on the island of Barbados, these birds in the tanager family live in gardens, scrublands, open woodlands, and other open habitats. They eat seeds, flowers, insects, and fruit, often foraging on the ground and joining mixed-species flocks, especially during the dry season. Breeding between February and August, they build domed nests with side entrances from dry grass in small trees or shrubs. Females lay clutches of three or four eggs. Males feed females on the nest.

it isnt a problem. op specified the things on that list to watch out for are actives, (so-called) anti-ageing, and brightening

so really the list should look like this:

aloe vera is fine

I just made a 6 year old girl really mad at me in the mall and it was actually a heartbreaking experience

Because I was picking up more moisturiser, and this clearly really young girl and her mother came in to shop skin products, and her mother picked up a combined kit and was like “This is the one you want? Okay I guess” and I took a peak and gently butted in and told her mother I thought that was a really bad idea because she looked super young and those products had a bunch of actives

This little girl was glaring at me like I kicked her puppy while I chatted to her mother, who seemed really embarrassed she didn’t know that, asked some questions, and told me her daughter was 6, obsessed with skincare, said all the other girls at school had similar products, and always watched YouTube videos + Tiktoks about these things.

I told her pretty bluntly it’s a bad idea for young people to use most of these actives/products, gave her some keywords to search online so she’d have a better idea about what to look up and learn more, and suggested maybe they could work on instead building a routine with washing faces with water, a little dab of a very neutral moisturiser and some sunscreen every day (let’s be clear - this little girl does not need a skincare routine, but it’s a compromise without completely shitting on her and helps routine building in life anyway)

I told this kid she was really pretty and she didn’t need anything, and I’m sorry I ruined her fun but I didn’t want her to burn her face with something like retinol or salicylic acid. She was not impressed.

Please chat with the young people in your life about these things, get some rudimentary knowledge if they’re asking for products like this, and please be careful!

Cozy Corner Domaystic Prompt #8: Skincare

Butchlander, 650. Skipped scene from The Selfish Gene. Set somewhere in the third trimester. Rated G, but.. you know... mpreg.

Billy takes John's wrist and removes it off to the side, off of his body. "Give it a rest, love. You'll hurt yourself."

John sighs and pulls his shirt back over the dramatic curve of his belly. It's not his fault that sometimes his skin starts itching unbearably. Usually when his hands are idle and he's distracted. He's not sure if he's felt itching since childhood, when they used to douse him in chemicals or put him in a chamber where he got dosed with radiation of some kind.

"I can't focus on anything else if I don't scratch it," he says plaintively, attempting to bring his attention back to the TV series they've settles on watching, which isn't interesting enough to keep his hands still.

Billy looks over his body with a measure of sympathy. "Didn't ya get some kinda lotion for exactly this?"

"Yes, it's called belly butter, and it's in the closet near the bathroom."

"You want me to fetch it?"

"I don't like how it smells," John says, eyes still fixed on the TV show but absorbing none of the dialogue or plot.

"We can wash it off afterwards, can't we?"

John hesitates.

"Let me rub it on for you?" Billy offers, and smiles when he sees John give a resigned little shrug of the shoulders.

John positions himself facing upwards, head in Billy's lap as lotion keeps being applied to his stretched skin.

"There you go," Billy says, his hand making circles over John's belly, heaving slightly with each breath. "Doesn't smell so bad to me."

"I don't know what it is," John says. "But it puts me on edge with how much it annoys me."

Billy picks up the bottle and eyes it. "Lists a whole bunch of stuff here. It just smells faintly like coconut to me."

"I know what coconut smells like and that's not what's bothering me." John snatches the bottle out of Billy's hand, turning it around to read it. "Maybe it's this... 'Aloe vera barbadensis'. I don't know, it smells foul to me."

"Here," Billy says, and pinches John's nostrils together, thankfully not with the hand covered in the lotion.

John gives a tiny soft chuckle. "Thag you."

"Is it helping the itch any, at least?"

"A liddle," John says, smiling at the way he sounds with his nose pinched. "I duddo, a lot of sbells just disgust be dow."

"I'm sure I don't smell like a bed of roses."

John sits up slightly, then scoots upward so he can lean against Billy, half sitting up, burying his nose in the crook of Billy's neck. "Much prefer you to a bed of roses.”

Billy wraps his supporting arm around him again, and John feels strangely soothed to be held this way, and still petted on the belly, basking in the body heat of Billy's body, smelling him-- now no longer just sharply recognizable but the definition of home. John's eyes flutter closed as he enjoys the moment. The itching has faded to almost nothing.

Being caressed, being touched-- John's not used to these sensations divorced from sexual excitement, and he's normally all too happy to indulge, but right now-- in this particular moment-- it's so soothing that he doesn't want these feelings to end or transform into something more risque and goal-oriented.

It's strange to feel so heavily pregnant but also like a very small child who’s found warmth and safety at the same time. He flinches when he suddenly and vividly remembers hugging himself in the chamber when they were doing things that were making the skin across his entire body feel like it was crawling with something.

"Just buy a different lotion if this smell bothers you so much, love." Billy's voice pulls John back out of the reverie.

John opens his eyes and shakes his head. "I got used to it, just keep doing what you're doing."

"So it's helping?"

"Very much so."

Embracing Nature's Bounty: Herbal Remedies for Eczema

In a world saturated with synthetic remedies, the allure of natural solutions is more compelling than ever. Eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting millions worldwide, often calls for holistic approaches that minimize side effects while addressing the root causes. Amidst this quest for gentler yet effective treatments, herbal remedies have emerged as promising alternatives. Let's embark on a journey through nature's pharmacy to explore the realm of natural herb remedy for eczema.

Understanding Eczema

Before delving into herbal solutions, it's crucial to grasp the nature of eczema. Characterized by red, inflamed, and itchy skin, eczema manifests in various forms, including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. While genetic predispositions and environmental triggers play significant roles, the immune system's dysfunction and impaired skin barrier function are central to its pathology.

Herbal Allies in Eczema Management

Herbs boast a rich history in traditional medicine, offering multifaceted benefits for skin health. From soothing inflammation to promoting tissue repair, these botanical wonders can complement conventional therapies or stand alone as holistic remedies. Here are some notable herbs renowned for their efficacy in eczema management:

Calendula (Calendula officinalis): Renowned for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, calendula is a cherished herb in herbal medicine. Its soothing effects make it a popular choice for alleviating eczema symptoms, including itching and redness. Calendula-infused creams or ointments can be applied topically to affected areas for relief.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): Chamomile's gentle yet potent anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties render it a valuable ally in eczema management. Whether used in the form of tea for internal consumption or as a topical application, chamomile can help calm irritated skin and promote healing.

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, licorice root extract holds promise in eczema treatment. Its active compound, glycyrrhizin, exhibits corticosteroid-like effects, making it effective in reducing itching and inflammation associated with eczema.

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis): Aloe vera's cooling and moisturizing properties make it a popular choice for soothing eczema flare-ups. Its gel, derived from the succulent leaves, can hydrate dry skin, reduce inflammation, and accelerate wound healing, offering much-needed relief to eczema sufferers.

Burdock (Arctium lappa): Burdock root, revered for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties, is increasingly recognized for its potential in managing eczema. Whether consumed internally as a tea or applied topically as a poultice, burdock can help purify the blood, alleviate inflammation, and promote clearer skin.

Neem (Azadirachta indica): Neem, often referred to as the "village pharmacy" in Ayurvedic medicine, possesses potent antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its oil or extract can be applied topically to eczema-affected areas to relieve itching, reduce inflammation, and prevent secondary infections.

Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis): Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), evening primrose oil is prized for its anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects on the skin. When taken orally or applied topically, it can help improve skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, and alleviate eczema symptoms.

Incorporating Herbal Remedies into Your Eczema Care Routine

While herbal remedies offer promising benefits, it's essential to approach their use with caution and informed guidance. Here are some tips for incorporating herbal remedies into your eczema care routine:

Consult a healthcare professional: Before experimenting with herbal remedies, consult a qualified healthcare provider, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or have underlying health conditions.

Patch test: Perform a patch test before using any herbal remedy to check for allergic reactions or sensitivities.

Choose quality products: Opt for reputable brands and sources when purchasing herbal remedies to ensure purity and potency.

Monitor effects: Keep track of how your skin responds to herbal remedies and adjust usage accordingly. Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur.

Practice holistic care: In addition to herbal remedies, adopt a holistic approach to eczema management, including proper skincare, stress management, dietary modifications, and lifestyle adjustments.

Conclusion

In the pursuit of eczema relief, the bountiful offerings of nature beckon with promising herbal remedies. From calendula's soothing embrace to neem's purifying touch, these botanical treasures offer holistic support for managing eczema symptoms and promoting skin health. By embracing the wisdom of herbal medicine alongside conventional therapies, eczema sufferers can embark on a journey toward greater comfort, vitality, and well-being.

Aloe vera flowers. Formerly known as Aloe barbadensis, one of the ways Aloe vera can be identified is by the tightly packed bunches of yellow/green flowers they produce once mature. Their flowers set them apart from many other Aloe varieties, especially since yellow is less common than orange, red or pink for Aloe flowers.

Indoor Plants and Their Positive Impact on Mental Health
