Halfas and Fear Gas

Ive seen a lot of "fear gas makes danny high." Its hilarious and i love it. Other variations i recall seeing are: fear is not as potent, complete immunity, 'food supplement' fear gas, and the boring 'effects him like normal.'

BUT.

I haven't really seen anyone treat effect effect on the brain and core as separate processes. In other words, humans get affected one way, ghosts get affected another way, and halfas get blasted by both.

We already know how normal humans are affected, so we dont really need to go over that. Ghosts, however, are free reign. (Unless there's a canon incident where a ghost like boston brand or gentleman ghost are exposed to a fear gas attack? Any DC canon nerds out there that know of something like that?)

The options I've seen or thought up so far:

Complete immunity - ectoplasm just doesn't react to physical matter in a way that impacts the ghost. Fear gas, as in the chemical itself, has no effect whatsoever.

Effects ghosts like humans. Straight forward, it's a bit weird if you think about it, but eh.

Fear gas, as in the chemical itself, is like ghost weed, or perhaps something stronger. Might be hallucinogenic, but in a bad trip sort of way rather than a worst fear sort of way

Fear gas, as in the chemical itself, is accidentally a super effective health suppliment for ghosts

If emotions are food to ghosts, fear gassed humans can span the range between 'delectable snack sprinkled with extra sugar' to 'weird chemical food that isnt healthy but will still sustain you' to 'supercharged health snack completely saturated by nutrients'

Fear gas, either the chemical itself or the people affected by it, has a distinct smell. It could be good, bad, or neutral, possibly related to how it affects the ghost. (Or deceptive, for humor and/or angst.)

Fear gas is outright toxic to ghosts. Perhaps the chemical itself is similar to, but just left of, ectoplasm. Like many artificial chemicals that can substitute various nutrients / usurp metabolic pathways in humans, it could have any number of mild to debilitating, short to long term effects on ghosts.

(If anyone has another idea, feel free to add)

Now we get to halfas, who have both a human brain and a ghost core. Dany has a human body and brain that are affected normally by the fear gas: hallucinations, panic attack, adrenaline response, etc etc. Someone better at biology can describe the actual biochemical processes going on.

But the ghost core? Added on top of All That? Can be excessively angsty, somewhat mitigating, or outright hilarious.

Going through the list of options:

Complete immunity.

This sounds boring, but its actually my favorite. Why? Because danny is getting conflicting signals. His brain is compromised and in full panic, but his core is telling him that he's completely safe. As a hybrid, Danny could be capable of having critical thought with both organs. If he's clever enough to recognize the seperation between the two, he can exploit it as a sort of anchor (I'm imagining it somewhat like how a multitasker can do different things with different senses, like listening to an audio book while solving a jigsaw puzzle - the book is auditory, the puzzle is visual and tactile, neither interfere with the other.)

Danny, in this scenario, is definitely in an altered state of consciousness, seeing things that aren't there and right on the cusp of panicking or defending himself. But if he can recognize that his core is unaffected, he can focus on the sensory input that his core is processing, and the whole situation might be somewhat equivalent to becoming lucid in the middle of a nightmare - its terrifying, but just the recognition that it isn't real takes the edge off. To him, it's now like being stuck in a VR horror game and being unable to take the headset off, flinching at all the jumpscares but recognizing that his body isn't actually being attacked or injured.

Affects ghost like humans

Danny could either be affected exactly the same as anyone else or effectively double-dosed as both brain and core fight entirely different hallucinations. Maybe if danny is lucky, he'll just black out from the sensory overload.

Ghost weed

This could make what was initially designed to be a really bad trip into something catastrophic... or mellow it out. Idk. I've never done recreational drugs. Both the brain and core are cut off from reality. The brain is terrified, and the core is tripping out. If his core naturally reacts to his emotional state, it's gonna amplify the effects, which is Really Bad. If the core is compromised to a point where it can't really process anything, then Danny is still trapped in a nightmare state, just more loopy and otherwise no worse than any human.

Health supplement and/or literal food

This one is confusing. Brain is terrified, core is satiated? Energized? A boost to his powers is gonna make him much more difficult to contain and treat. When he comes out of it, there's real potential for angst from danny worrying that the conflicting emotions of absolute terror and hunger satiation are a sign that he's turning evil. Especially if his core was instinctually feeding off of the fear of nearby civilians who were also gassed during the trip. That undercurrent of predatory satisfaction is gonna leave him awake at night for a few weeks.

On the plus side, feeding his ghost core might help it clear out the toxin faster, so the trip is much shorter. Maybe he even pulls out of it before he accidentally causes any damage with his powers.

Smelly

Pretty straightforward. If it smells bad, Danny is automatically gonna hold his breath, limiting his exposure. If it smells good, he might take a good few wiffs before realizing what's up and holding his breath, or just keeps dosing himself more and more as that effects, good or bad to the core and definitely bad to the brain, settle in.

Toxic

Has the potential to be much more long-term and insidious. You can run the full gamut here. Does he need to be restrained and taken to the far frozen for days or even weeks of treatment? Does the ectoplasm incorporate the drug, and Danny has to suffer weeks or months of microdosing until it's used up, turning him into a paranoid schizophrenic during that time? Is it blood blossoms 2.0? Does it have no mental effects but screws with his powers? Does it influence his emotional self-control? Does he grow the ghost equivalent of a tumor that encapsulates the toxin and has to be surgically removed? Does he need supplemental ecto to remain healthy, temporarily, or permanently? Does it affect his ectosignature or peak power level? Injure his core? Lower his healing factor?

All of this is on top of the initial fear gas trip, which he may have never even fully pulled out of. The angst possibilities are endless.

Then, there are liminals who have the potential to be affected like halfas or in an entirely different way. Does your headcanon give them proto-cores or baby ghost cores, or are they just severely ectoconaminated? How would that change their symptoms?

Anyways, just some ideas for people to use. My favorite idea so far, that I'd love to see someone use, is that Danny has learned to use his separate brain and core as insurance against mind control and mind-altering drugs. The freakshow incident was a sort of catalyst that helped him recognize the differences between his brain and core, and he taught himself how to lean into one or the other for various advantages in different situations. (Sort of like how a person can lean on either logic or intuition to make different types of choices.)

There's a lot of interesting potential here. Essentially, Danny could teach himself to be immune to mind-control and greatly resistant to drugs, as he can evaluate his surroundings with both organs and identify differences. Mind control wouldn't work unless it targeted BOTH brain and core, as he could shift to the uncontrolled one to break away. Any drug designed to knock out or roofie a human is countered by the fact that danny's core still remains conscious of his surroundings, and creative use of ghost powers counters the accompanying paralysis.

If ghosts dont sleep, one could argue that Danny's core is in a meditative state when his brain rests, which is why his ghost sense can wake him up from a dead sleep - he's never fully unconscious. Workoholic danny could find a way to get homework or paperwork done, or solve a problem, or design a piece of tech, or even play a videogame, while 'sleeping,' even using ectokinesis to move stuff while his body is sleep-paralyzed. Sleep-deprived danny is still functional because his core isn't affected by his brain's lapses in consciousness from micro-naps. (He is a lot moodier, though. His core is more emotion-focused while his brain is more logic-focused, on top of the normal mood-swings from sleep deprivation.)

This version of danny, after being fear-gassed, immediately recognizes that his brain and core are suddenly experiencing two different realities. He would be able to talk himself down from a panic attack and slowly find his way to safety. He probably wouldn't trust himself to hold back if he got in a scuffle, but he would be coherent enough to vaguely understand his surroundings to avoid danger.

And lastly, something I dont recall seeing in any fics - if the bats encountered fear-gassed Danny, and he's aware enough to refuse an antidote, I dont think the bats would push it. Yeah, forcing more medical trauma on our favorite blorbo is all good and fun, but he clearly has an altered metabolism that was affected differently by the fear gas than normal, so there's a heightened risk that the antidote would also have an altered affect, for the reward of removing the effects of fear-toxin (which is no longer guaranteed), which danny is already showing he's capable of working through.

On top of that, medical professionals are not allowed to force treatment if the patient refuses them and can walk it off. (If they are unconscious or can't get up on their own, they can intervene.) Medical conditions and allergies are a thing too, and its the priority of the patient to inform the medical worker as soon as possible to prevent complications. Jazz may have coached Danny about "in a medical emergency, declare closet-meta status with highly modified metabolism and unknown reactions to most drugs."

I see the conversation going something like:

"If you can hear me, im going to administer an antidote."

"Dont. Give it to someone who actually needs it."

And then the bat treats everyone else before approaching danny again to ask how they can help. They would be trained to take all of this into account:

Human male, visibly uninjured (unless the fic writer has different ideas) experiencing non-standard reaction to fear toxin. Probable indication of meta or enhanced status.

Victim is cognizent, replied to verbal communication, denied treatment. Appears to be managing the effects of the fear toxin. Not currently a danger to themselves or others.

Nonstandard reaction to fear-toxin implies potential non-standard reaction to antidote. Victim may be aware of medical condition that could complicate treatment, and is reasonably stable at the moment. Further questioning needed.

There are other victims in the area that are less cognizent, they become higher priority. Approach victim again when all other victims are cleared out, (in case of uncontrolled meta powers, to avoid further casualties), ask more questions and ascertain situation.

Once questioned further, danny drops the memorized line about altered metabolism and unknown effects, and giving Danny the antidote basically immediately becomes a non-viable option. They will probably argue Danny into being taken to Leslie's clinic, as he'll refuse a hospital (probably quite hysterically, given the fear toxin), which i'd imagine is the bat's normal protocol for closet-metas.

At least, that's how I imagine the situation panning out. Danny noping out before the bats return to him or during mid-interrogation is also extremely likely, which is gonna put the bats in panic mode for the next several hours. (Going to *any* secondary location with the bats is a non-option to Danny, for many potential reasons.) Danny is definitely going on a watch list (as in, possible meta with unknown powers, keep an eye out in case he gets caught up in another rogue scheme, need more information).

Elias Rushorik: The Character Bible

Name: Elias Rushorik [Ee-lee-us Ruh-shore-rik] (referred to by battle [first] name)

Legion + Role: Night Lord, Contekar Terminator

Age: ~100

Hair Color: Black with greying along his sideburns, hairline, and nape; warm undertone

Eye color: Black with corners of white, like a dog LEOPARD SEAL

Skin Color: Ashy pale white, cool undertones

Height: 7’11 (unarmored), 9’ (armored)

Build Type: Bulging muscle, like a bodybuilder. He looks greasy.

Primary Weapons: Escaton Power Claw and Volkite Cavitator

Long Description: A wall of an astartes, covered in scars and sinewy muscle that bulges like a dehydrated draft horse. He has a prominent facial scar: a tear in his lip exposing sharp teeth and part of his maxilla. His black hair is cropped short, usually, but it's been getting feathery as of recent. Some rumors say it's the influence of his personal serf that's been seen hanging off of his giant arm, others say he's just too busy to care. No one dare comment on an astartes strong enough and more than willing to grab another's skull and crush it in his fist. He's not a talker, preferring swift and brutal action to resolve his problems like a ‘proper’ Night Lord.

Role: Neutral Evil protagonist and owner to the serf insert.

Why they have that role, based on the characters core beliefs:

He just wanted someone to do the shit he doesn’t want to do (clean his room and armor), so he steals the first serf that does a good enough job (he ate the rest)

He did not expect the consequences that would come along with taking care of someone, like actually caring about them. He, unfortunately, cannot recognize the care for what it is.

Beliefs / Quirks / Flaws: 

Cannibalistic, mostly because he isn’t fed enough. The Night Lords are not generous with their feeding schedule and amounts, sometimes not even feeding their astartes, so dude won’t turn down a good meal. He also fell in love with the feeling of flesh between his teeth.

He’ll eat almost anything though and food is the way to his heart. Well, it won’t make him inherently like you, but he’ll tolerate you if you feed him. You might even be able to bribe him with enough.

Everything is a transaction to him. “What do I get out of this?” He always wants to exit those transactions with the upper hand compared to the other party or parties involved, but it still makes him vulnerable to being bribed.

He likes having his ego stroked, but he isn’t stupid enough to fall for ego manipulation from his brothers. 

His serf, however,,,,, yeah, he doesn’t even recognize he’s being played

He isn’t lazy, just spoiled. He can and will put effort into attaining the things he wants.

If he gets bored enough, he’ll bully people, but it’s not usually lethal (unless he’s angry or hungry). 

Ex: Shoving his serf into the shower and blasting it on cold

Never shows his soft underbelly or any weaknesses openly, but if others do it to him, he will take advantage of it or clock that information away for later. He is used to others seeing any cracks in his armor as something to be exploited, so he naturally does the same.

His treatment of the serf is the embodiment of doing something good for a bad reason; the billionaire building an orphanage because he gets to name it after himself still built an orphanage. Elias’s brand of charity is the exact same. His serf is healthy and looks the best, which makes him look better. Other Night Lords want to steal her, which gives him both an ego boost and an excuse to take out his more violent tendencies while getting food and looking strong. It’s a win-win for him to put the effort into her.

He just didn’t expect to get actually attached, and because he doesn’t recognize that attachment as what it is, it’s incredibly unhealthy. She’s a prized possession, not a person.

Elias is never not going to see the serf as his property– it isn’t who he is to be empathetic. He does begin to care, in a warped sense. He chalks feelings like caring for his serf up to the same way he cares about his presentation. It’s for the betterment of himself. 

Greedy. He does not share. This includes with the other Night Lords and with the serf. His brothers cannot have his serf, and his serf cannot just have his bed (stop asking)

When he does ‘share’ or provide, it's always for his own gain. The gifts he gives to the serf are not given out of selflessness, but because he wants her to:

Recognize how capable he is (“Look at everything I can offer because of my status.”)

Realize that she's nothing without him (“You would return to feasting on vermin without me.”)

Perform at her best (“Why is there a speck of dust on my power pack? I gave you a coloring book last week, you should be efficient.”)

Disgusted by the actions of his battle brothers whilst being a massive hypocrite. He dislikes them indulging in torture that doesn’t have a reason behind it, finding the practice wasteful of energy that can be put into other avenues. Total boomer about this too. “Back in my day, we had a reason for flaying people alive”. He still uses the common Night Lord terror tactics when in battle and is genuinely no better than his brothers then. He’s just old and elitist.

Motivations: 

Obsessed with his self image and reputation to a fault in the, “Everyone just needs to remember that I am not to be fucked with,” way. Can and will prove that he is not to be fucked with to anybody that isn’t like, First Captain Sevatar or the Night Haunter.

He keeps the serf happy and healthy because he views her as an extension of himself: she’s his possession, and therefore she needs to be as perfect as he is. Well fed, well groomed, and overall healthy. He protects her the way he protects all of his things. It also makes him feel good that his brothers want his things (the serf), and gives him a sense of power that they cannot have them.

Kills because he has to maintain his power / image. He doesn’t see murder as a ‘necessary evil’; he literally just doesn’t care that people have to die. Everyone is a pawn in the game. He is going to win it.

Who they were raised to be vs who they are/are becoming: 

One of the rich Nostraman brats when Night Haunter came to reign as the Dark King. Elias wasn’t the inherently bloodthirsty type, just greedy and spoiled.

Joined the Night Lords at 12 in 896.M30 because he was sick of being forced to live like the common folk. Not the best decision he’s made, but he won’t admit to his mistakes.

Worked his way into being a Contekar because it gave him back some of his luxuries. He’s one of the first waves of Night Lords taken from Nostramo before it started being just any random criminal or street rat being let in, and he is super elitist about it.

How they feel about themselves and how it affects their behavior: 

He has a moderate lisp from the hole in his lip, which he is self-conscious about to the point that he doesn’t speak unless it's necessary.

Self-important, which makes his possessions also important to him. If someone messes with his possessions, they’re messing with him and his image, and he won’t stand for that. Some of the rags of flesh on his armor are from former brothers for this reason.

Fun Facts:

He may hate cleaning up after himself, but he does like tinkering with designs for his armor. He processes the hides and does basic repairs on his own (because, “no one would do them better.”)

Foodie. No, he will not verbally admit to this. Bring him the steak anyway.

Unlike most astartes, he did not change his name after his conversion.

Elias is prideful of a family he doesn't even really remember (after everything he went through to become a space marine) and who now are long dead. He has shaped his entire identity over being the best of what Nostramo could offer. If he lets go of his pride, he has nothing. No identity, no reason. Nothing.

Due to the above, when Nostramo was destroyed in 984.M30, he defected from the Night Lords. His face has not been seen since.

I wasn't going to drop this until after the series was finished, but I have been so busy with college recently that I don't know when that will be. I hope you enjoyed.

@tiarnietalks PLUTO IN AQUARIUS!

We ride at dawn Alien Witches!

248 years in the making!

Aqaurius- fixed Air- ruled by Saturn & Uranus.

“All geniuses are misunderstood; that's built into the definition of the word. To succeed, one must develop thick skin regarding our basic need for approval. To hold the truth with which everyone agrees is easy; to hold one against the tide of popular assumptions is vastly more arduous. How does the psyche adapt? There are healthy answers, or all geniuses would be mad as well as misunderstood, & they are not.” Steven Forrest

Pluto has been in & out of Aquarius since March 2023, showing us glimpses of what the future may hold, but today, November 20th 2024, he has made his full ingress into Aquarius where he will stay until January 2044!

1777 was the last time Pluto was in Aquarius!

This fixed Air archetype can be highly rigid, questioning everything, often needing proof; there is an intellectual superiority complex & a very black & white mindset. Just look at the division that happened in the world when Saturn was in Aquarius in 2021-2023! Family breakdowns & separations because of opposing views, cancel culture, etc. Aquarius isn't all butterflies, hippie communes, & rainbows my friends, that's Pisces energy but there will be a deep compelling urge for equality, freedom of speech, brotherhood & a love of humanity rising within this transit!

Aquarius energy is the loner, the eccentric, the rebel, the genius, the individualist; often seen as crazy & highly misunderstood. Einstein & Elon are both seen as crazy, definitely ahead of their time, have their North Node in Aquarius & are the true pioneers, wayshowers, & inventors. Like them or not, this is Aquarius.

Science, new technology, new medicines, new ways of living life, sci-fi, space, aliens, the esoteric & time travel all belong to Aquarius.

There is an objectivity & detachment to the Aquarius archetype, which is great for giving perspective, & we are going to need a lot of that over the coming 2 decades!

Watch group think & be discerning!

Pluto in Aquarius sees a BRAND NEW WORLD!

Collectively, the world will never look the same again.

We are going to witness things we have NEVER seen before, I mean it's already happening! AI, robots delivering food, drones, cloning, the metaverse, far right. Within days of Pluto's 1st ingress back in 2023 we saw the creator of the AI software quit! Umm, yeah, can't make this shit up! Things are accelerating! What's real & what's not! Its worlds within worlds. It feels like a HUMANITY REBIRTH to be honest! A full breakdown of society precedes the breakthrough of a new one. It's big. Remember, Pluto destroys, he exposes the TRUTH, you can't hide from Pluto, & Aquarius is the seeker, so this new phase of destruction & excavation is going to be HUGE! People will be more accepting of who anyone IS or wants to be, thank the lord; it's gonna get weird though, so be prepared for that! I believe people will embrace who they really are more too, especially if they have been doing the work on themselves & have a stable understanding of their psyche, traumas, patterns ect, if not they may feel isolated & allow fear, confusion & control to take over. Pluto will be in the first decan of Aquarius until 2031!! The Lord of Defeat, the 5 of Swords, which represents conflict, destruction, competition & disagreements. OUCHY! Aquarius is ruled by the Star though representing faith, hope & renewal! Pluto in Aquarius makes a supportive trine to the South Node in Libra until January 29th 2025, really assisting us in clearing all that karmic debris, it might even feel like a huge hangover or an exciting new space opening up! As Pluto trines the South Node of fate, he makes a sextile to the North Node in Aries, offering an opportunity to grow into more of who you are, to cast OFF the old & truly shift gears, entering brand new terrain! I love this aspect for us! On the micro, look to your Aquarius house, this is where you will be injected with creative originality, where you are being asked to reform, transform & revolutionize that part of your life. What rules of your own must you break?

Pluto in Aquarius is just getting started & will be a HUGE topic of conversation over the next 20 years as we witness many new ways of living, innovations, realizations, inventions, humans or fake humans, quantum shifts, time travel, new galaxies, all of it, it's all NEW (knew) as we truly advance & evolve.  We have never been in this space before, there is mystery & magic. Expect the unexpected, hello, Pluto in a Uranus ruled sign. Shit is gonna get weird! Reform. Reveal. Radical anarchy! It's the revolution to evolution!

[luvstruckmutt]

🌟 + stanford and if you're also taking characters not listed then the pine twins also :3 and also 🌟 + frisk I wanna hear about so many thangs

YAAAAY HI EIFFEL I LOVE YOU EIFFEL THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS IN

ask game

ford:

stanford and mutt are so everything to meee😭

they have a lot of history and neither of them are perfect humans so their relationship is a little complicated

when they first meet each other mutt puts ford on this crazy pedestal and basically thinks he can do no wrong.

puppy looooove

mutt just believes so strongly that he's the most wonderful and smart and kind person in the world for helping them manage their lycanthropy

this causes them to be blind to a lot of ford's flaws lol

mutt is a very emotional person who needs a lot of communication and support in order to feel secure in a relationship

they have an anxious-ambivalent attachment style and are therefore kind of clingy and get super nervous when they perceive ford as not giving them as much attention as normal

ford doesn't really notice this because, though i love the man, i think he might get a little awkward and not be so good at handling others feelings

since neither of them are doing a good job at communicating what they're feeling, the two of them end up eventually having a falling out around the time that ford and bill start getting really close

after ford returns to gravity falls in 2012, the two of them are reunited after 30 years

now with mutt having a more developed sense of self and being more able to regulate their emotions and ford able to communicate about emotions better, the two of them develop a more healthy and stable relationship where they actually talk about how they feel with one another

overall they are both two nerds who love each other very much

they may have had one extremely long rough patch but you better believe that the two of them are using all their combined brain power to work it out and get back to where their relationship was before! :3

pines twins:

these three initially have a very rocky relationship.

because of mutt working at the tent of telepathy and his constant fighting with stan, the twins really don't like him at all and kind of just see him as one of gideon's goons

after the season 1 finale, however, mutt is free from fear of gideon exposing his secret and ends up working at greasy's diner instead.

after he ends up helping to expose gideon and starts getting a long with stan, mabel warms up to him pretty quickly

both are lovers of crafts and all things sparkly and cute so they bond over their shared interests

dipper remains suspicious of mutt for longer, especially after he finds something that connects him to the journals, but eventually starts to like him once ford returns and vouches for him being a good person

overall mutt is kind of like a third uncle to the twins and feels very protective of them!

frisk:

WAHHHH MY LITTLE BABY

wish is so protective over frisk because like, THATS A BABYY THATS JUST A BABY EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING THEM NEEEOOOOOWWWWWW

follows them all throughout Waterfall because what if they get hurt????????

tries distracting undyne in order to protect them

this doesn't work very well but hey, at least she tried lmaoo

sneaks frisk free food from MTT-Brand Burger Emporium whenever their hp gets low because thats where she works ^^

DON’T CONDITION BEFORE YOU SHAMPOO!

Hairstylist here, and while it’s not necessarily wrong, you will be wasting your conditioner completely if you shampoo your hair afterwards.

Shampoo is designed to strip things from your hair aka clean it! This includes natural oils, dirt, other foreign substances such as food and yes conditioner. It also changes the ph of your hair, which is why if you only shampoo your hair it will most times feel dry and rough.

Conditioner restores all of that while also putting things back into the hair such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, and oils. It also restores the ph balance of your hair to where it’s naturally supposed to be which is what helps it feel smooth and soft.

You should be using shampoo on your scalp and letting it clean the mid shaft to ends (an inch from your scalp to the ends basically) during the rinsing process. If you shampoo and get little to no suds, you need to shampoo again before conditioning. Suds = clean hair!

It should also be noted that conditioner shouldn’t be applied to your scalp, but from mid shaft to ends. Your body will naturally replenish your scalp which will help the hair close to it (generally called new growth, about an inch closest to the scalp).

I get a lot of clients who say they can’t get rid of the oiliness only to find out they’re not washing properly by under shampooing and over conditioning. Unless you need it, like it’s common for you to get dirt in your hair daily for instance, you shouldn’t be washing your hair every day. The constant change in ph makes it very difficult for your body to figure out what your hair and scalp needs. Washing as little as possible is best. (I go every 3-4 days).

If you’re not sure what your hair needs or the best way to care for it, ask a hair stylist! We want you to have healthy hair more than anything so don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions!

Also some side notes:

Getting your hair wet (just water) will also change the ph of your hair by itself. You should be extra careful with your hair until the ph balance can be restored. There are products you can get but I usually just make sure if my hair will get wet I’ll be able to wash it soon after which works just fine.

Hard water will cause minerals to build up on your hair making it dry and rough. Get a clarifying shampoo to use ON OCCASION. How often is case by case, some people I tell every other week, some every other month. Don’t use it every day your hair will become brittle and break off.

Swim in treated pools at all? The chlorine from the water will stick to your hair and penetrate the hair shaft, stripping it like shampoo. It can even turn your hair green if exposed often and a lot (yes I’ve seen this and it’s wild). Clarifying shampoo helps with this as well.

Not every one can afford salon quality products which is absolutely fine! I help clients pick out drug store hair care products often. Please always do your research on the brand and product you’re using. Big corporations want you to buy more which means they misinform you to overuse products so you buy them more often. It’s better to spend extra on higher quality products I promise you! (One of the products I use I only have to buy one time a year after learning how to use it properly!)

That being said: STOP USING HEAD AND SHOULDERS AND PANTENE. Head and Shoulders is meant to suck up oil from dandruff caused by fungus. It’s thick and it’s yellow. If you have white flakes, that’s dry scalp which is just like your skin, you need moisture! Pantene is filled with wax. Very bad for your hair as it doesn’t allow the nutrients it needs to get into the hair shaft, including natural ones your body makes on its own!

In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

Expert Tips for Long-Term Skin Health

Taking care of your skin isn’t just about looking good—it’s about maintaining its health for the long run. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and it needs proper care to stay radiant, hydrated, and youthful. While genetics play a role in how your skin ages, your daily habits and skincare routine have a significant impact. Here are expert tips to help you achieve long-term skin health.

1. Stick to a Consistent Skincare Routine

Consistency is key when it comes to skincare. A simple yet effective routine should include cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. Cleansing removes dirt and oil, moisturizing keeps the skin hydrated, and sunscreen protects against harmful UV rays. Stick to products that suit your skin type and avoid frequently switching brands to prevent irritation.

2. Hydration is Essential

Drinking plenty of water and using hydrating skincare products help maintain moisture balance. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin are great ingredients that lock in hydration, preventing dryness and premature aging.

3. Always Wear Sunscreen

UV rays are one of the biggest causes of skin damage and aging. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can harm your skin. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to prevent sunburn, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

4. Eat a Skin-Friendly Diet

What you eat affects your skin. Include foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats like leafy greens, nuts, berries, and fish. Avoid processed foods and excessive sugar, as they can cause inflammation and breakouts.

5. Prioritize Sleep and Stress Management

Lack of sleep and high stress levels lead to breakouts, dullness, and premature aging. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night and practice stress-relieving activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing to maintain healthy skin.

6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Over-Exfoliation

Using harsh products or over-exfoliating can weaken the skin barrier, leading to sensitivity and irritation. Stick to gentle cleansers and chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs no more than 2-3 times a week.

7. Don’t Ignore Your Neck and Hands

Your neck and hands are also exposed to the elements and can show signs of aging faster than your face. Apply moisturizer and sunscreen to these areas daily.

8. Consult a Skincare Expert

If you have persistent skin concerns like acne, pigmentation, or sensitivity, consult a dermatologist or skin care specialist for the best advice. They can recommend treatments and products tailored to your needs.

Conclusion

Long-term skin health requires a combination of the right skincare routine, a healthy lifestyle, and professional guidance. By adopting these expert tips, you can keep your skin glowing and youthful for years.

Hey you. Yes you. Your size does not matter. You’re perfect. I don’t care what number your clothes say. Be as healthy as you can be in whatever circumstances allow. Please remember- health and size are not the same thing. Your ankles and feet look great. Butt? Fantastic. Face, great. Your legs look fabulous. That little extra skin next to your chin is actually cute. Your stomach is fantastic exactly as it is. Your arms don’t need to be covered up. Your back doesn’t need to be covered up. Well, you need to cover everything in sunscreen if you’re going to be exposed to the sun, but that’s really it.

You need to eat food. Someone you can’t eat very healthy because healthy food is so expensive. Someone you’re not well enough to prepare it. Someone you’re working too many jobs and juggling life, and your dinner is a candy bar. But you’re doing the best you can.

You don’t need to crash diet, you don’t need to stuff yourself into the sausage-casing underwear called shape wear. You’re perfect as you are. There’s nothing wrong with you.

You’re perfect. When you die, do you think people are going to sit around and talk about what size your trousers are? No. They’re going to talk about what an amazing person you are, what you did in life, what you did with others, and all the times they reminded that they love you.

No one cares about the number in the back of your clothes. Be healthy, be well, be yourself and tell your brain it doesn’t get to talk to you like that when it starts saying something cruel.

Stop worrying about the number in your clothes. They play serious mistakes with those numbers, anyway! Some brands you’re one size, another brand, a completely different number, and another brand— yet another number.

It doesn’t matter. Be compassionate, be kind, eat cake if you want to. You’re perfect the way you are. Stop listening to people who try to tell you how much space you are allowed to take up in this world.

Diet companies won’t tell you this but starving yourself is a lot worse for your health than overeating

Essential Supplements for Dogs- A Guide to Optimal Canine Health

As a dog owner, ensuring the health and vitality of your furry companion is a top priority. While a balanced diet is fundamental, supplements can play a vital role in filling nutritional gaps, addressing specific health issues, and supporting overall well-being. Here’s an overview of essential supplements for dog and how they can benefit your pet.

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil, are essential for your dog’s health. These supplements support joint health, improve skin and coat conditions, and have anti-inflammatory properties. Omega-3s are particularly beneficial for dogs with arthritis, allergies, or dry skin. They may also enhance cognitive function, making them an excellent choice for senior dogs.

2. Probiotics

Probiotics promote a healthy gut by balancing the beneficial bacteria in your dog’s digestive system. They are especially useful for dogs with sensitive stomachs, diarrhea, or those recovering from antibiotics. A healthy gut microbiome can also boost immunity and improve nutrient absorption, contributing to overall health.

3. Glucosamine and Chondroitin

These joint supplements are crucial for dogs prone to arthritis or hip dysplasia. Glucosamine helps maintain cartilage health, while chondroitin inhibits cartilage breakdown. Together, they alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance the quality of life for aging or large-breed dogs susceptible to joint issues.

4. Multivitamins

Multivitamins provide a comprehensive blend of essential nutrients, including vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, as well as minerals like zinc and iron. They are especially beneficial for puppies, pregnant or lactating dogs, and those with specific dietary restrictions. A high-quality multivitamin can support your dog’s immune system, skin, coat, and overall vitality.

5. Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzyme supplements aid in breaking down food, making nutrients more accessible for absorption. They are particularly helpful for dogs with pancreatic insufficiency, food intolerances, or bloating. Enzymes like amylase, protease, and lipase can enhance digestion and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.

6. CBD Oil

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil has gained popularity for its potential to alleviate anxiety, reduce inflammation, and manage pain in dogs. It can also help improve sleep quality and calm hyperactive pets. Always choose a product specifically formulated for pets and consult your veterinarian before use.

7. Antioxidants

Antioxidant supplements like vitamin E, vitamin C, and coenzyme Q10 help combat oxidative stress caused by free radicals. They are essential for brain health, especially in older dogs, and can support cardiovascular function, skin health, and immune defense.

8. Calcium and Phosphorus

Calcium and phosphorus are critical for strong bones and teeth. These supplements are particularly important for growing puppies and pregnant or nursing mothers. However, it’s crucial to maintain the right balance, as excessive calcium can lead to skeletal abnormalities.

9. Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is a natural herb that supports liver health. It is often recommended for dogs with liver disease or those exposed to toxins. The active compound, silymarin, promotes liver regeneration and detoxification.

10. Specialized Supplements

Dogs with specific conditions may benefit from specialized supplements:

L-tryptophan or melatonin for anxiety and sleep issues.

Biotin and zinc for skin and coat health.

Taurine for heart health in breeds prone to dilated cardiomyopathy.

Tips for Choosing Supplements

Consult Your Veterinarian: Always seek professional advice before introducing new supplements to your dog’s regimen.

Choose Quality Products: Opt for reputable brands that adhere to safety and quality standards.

Monitor Your Dog: Observe your dog for any changes, both positive and negative, after starting a supplement.

Incorporating the right Supplements for dog can significantly enhance your dog’s health and well-being. With guidance from a veterinarian and attention to your pet’s specific needs, supplements can be a valuable addition to their daily routine.

The Importance of Professional Commercial Cleaning for Businesses

Keeping a workspace clean and organized goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about creating an environment that supports health, productivity, and professionalism. While routine tidying may suffice for surface-level upkeep, professional cleaning services in Scranton bring expertise that ensures businesses are ready to impress clients and maintain a positive workplace atmosphere.

Why Cleanliness Matters

A clean workspace is more than a visual statement; it’s a cornerstone of a healthy business operation. Dust, dirt, and bacteria can build up over time, affecting air quality and exposing employees to potential health risks. When professionals handle the cleaning, they target these hidden areas, making your workspace safer and more inviting.

Healthier Workplaces, Happier Teams

Employee health is closely tied to the cleanliness of their environment. Accumulated allergens and germs can lead to illnesses that reduce productivity and increase sick days. Regular, thorough cleaning helps minimize these risks, contributing to a healthier, more vibrant team. Beyond physical health, a well-kept office also boosts mental well-being by providing a space where employees feel comfortable and proud to work.

First Impressions That Last

Your business environment speaks volumes about your brand. Clients and visitors notice the details—from clean windows to sparkling floors—and these observations shape their perception of your company. A polished, tidy space sends a clear message: your business values professionalism and pays attention to the little things that matter.

Protecting Your Investments

The furnishings, carpets, and equipment in your office are substantial investments. Dirt, stains, and grime can cause unnecessary wear and tear, reducing lifespan. By incorporating regular, specialized care, like house cleaning services in Scranton, PA, you can protect these assets and keep them looking their best for years.

Adapting to Industry Standards

In many sectors, such as healthcare and food services, cleanliness isn’t optional—it’s mandatory. Professional cleaning teams have the knowledge and tools to meet industry regulations and ensure your workspace complies with the highest standards. These services keep your business operating smoothly and within the law, from sanitizing surfaces to deep cleaning.

The Employee Experience

A clean office isn’t just about appearances; it’s also about creating a space where employees feel valued. Cluttered, dusty environments can distract from productivity, while tidy, organized workspaces inspire focus and creativity. Employees who work in clean environments often report higher job satisfaction, leading to better morale and retention.

Time-Saving Solutions

Cleaning tasks can take time and energy, and your team could dedicate time to their core responsibilities. Professional cleaners complete these tasks more efficiently and ensure they are done to a higher standard. This approach lets your team focus on what they do best while leaving the cleaning to the experts.

Tailored Services for Unique Needs

Every business has unique cleaning requirements. Whether it’s sanitizing shared office equipment, deep-cleaning carpets, or maintaining high-traffic areas, professional cleaners offer customized solutions that address the specific needs of your workspace. This personalized care ensures no corner is overlooked, providing a spotless environment.

Environmentally Conscious Cleaning

Modern cleaning services increasingly offer eco-friendly solutions, using biodegradable and non-toxic products to reduce environmental impact. These practices align with growing sustainability expectations while protecting the health of employees and clients. A cleaner space doesn’t have to come at the cost of a cleaner planet.

Building Client Trust

Your office reflects your business values. When clients see that you maintain a clean and orderly environment, they build trust and confidence in your services. This subtle yet impactful detail can influence their decision to work with you, making cleanliness an integral part of client relations.

A Positive Work Culture

Cleanliness can influence workplace culture more than you might realize. Employees who walk into a clean, fresh-smelling office feel respected and cared for, which can translate into increased loyalty and a more collaborative team dynamic. A spotless workspace fosters a sense of pride that resonates throughout the organization.

Transform your business environment into a place of health, professionalism, and comfort. Let expert cleaning services handle the details so you can focus on what matters most. Schedule a consultation and experience the difference a clean space can make.

It’s a brand-new year which means industry soothsayers have peered into their crystal balls to bring us their best predictions for the top 2025 food trends. As we’ve traditionally done at the outset of each year, we’ve looked at what the forecasts and projections show and how these overall trends might influence what people choose to consume in the coming months. While locally grown, sustainably produced and nutrient dense foods will always be the hallmark of Down to Earth’s farmers markets, here are some notable trends that are worth exploring to help introduce diversity to your table and keep dishes fresh, fun and interesting.

Super Saucy  Who doesn’t relish extra sauciness? According to New York Times food critics, sauces will be a national obsession in 2025, especially those with global flavors. Thanks to the surge in post-pandemic travel that exposed people to a wider range of international cuisines and exotic foods, consumers’ palates have broadened as they seek to recreate the tastes they experienced while vacationing abroad.

Sauces are a great way to insert flavor, moisture, and visual appeal into your meals, and can also enhance foods texture and nutritional value. Try topping plain baked fish or chicken with a spoonful of spicy salsa, roasting cauliflower in a creamy bechamel sauce, or giving extra zing to pasta, eggs, salads, soups and sandwiches with this easy to make kale pesto.

Crunchy is Cool Crunchiness is set to reign supreme as the texture of the year, so we’ll see crunchy elements popping up in all sorts of unexpected edibles. You can’t go wrong with the crunch factor as it makes foods satiating by requiring more chewing and stimulating and engaging your palate. Luckily, you’ll find plenty of crunch-filled foods and seasonings in our farmers markets this winter.

Hardy winter vegetables are the kings of crunch! Cold weather causes plants like carrots, parsnips and cabbage to convert some of their starch into sugar to lower the freezing point of their cells and protect them from frosts, much like a natural antifreeze. This defense mechanism firms up their structure by trapping more water inside resulting in a crisper, crunchier texture. These vegetables also taste sweeter in the winter due to their higher sugar content, which is known as cold sweetening. 

Nothing beats the crunch brought to you by Dr. Pickle's briny, tangy, zesty pickles! Choose from sweet gherkins, cornichons, pickle chips and whole pickles in a variety of flavors such as hot & spicy, half or full sour, horseradish, flaming dill and more. Serve crunchy pickles with burgers, brats, hotdogs, charcuterie boards and sandwiches or chop them into deviled eggs, potato and tuna salads for some bright acidic zing.

Roasted winter squash seeds are a perfect vehicle for adding satisfying crunch to an array of sweet and savory dishes. Everyone’s tried pumpkin seeds, but did you know that you can roast the seeds inside any squash from butternut to delicata to acorn? Almost all winter squash are great candidates for seed roasting. Plus, squash seeds are chockful of fiber, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals so why let them go to waste? Instead, turn them into something delicious with this easy tutorial.

Transform a bowl of plain yogurt by showering it with Blissful Table’s crunchy, healthy granola. Their granola started with one flavor, the "OG", which quickly grew to over twenty seasonal and special edition blends. All Blissful Table’s granolas are made with a base of rolled oats from River Valley Community Grains in New Jersey and use a three-grain blend including quinoa and crispy brown rice. Each small batch is sweetened with pure maple syrup, local honey or agave and every bag is hand packed with love. It's even an ingredient on their label.

Slowcocoa’s cacao nibs are unlike anything you've ever nibbled on. They’re made from the cacao bean, which is the seed of the cocoa tree fruit. The beans are fermented, dried, and roasted to develop their flavor, then crushed into small pieces. Think of them like unsweetened chocolate chips, with an extra crunch and loaded with antioxidants, magnesium, potassium, iron and fiber. These nibs are yummy enough to nibble on by the handful. Or try a sprinkle atop your favorite smoothie or salad bowl, oatmeal, cereal, ice cream, or even in pastas or baked goods.

Luxx Chocolat’s Luxx’K Pistachio Caramel Krunch Bark with Kadaifi has the crunch built right into its name! Decadent fine category 72% dark chocolate (cacao Venezuela) is filled with their award-winning classic pistachio caramel and studded with organic pistachios and toasted Kadaifi phyllo pastry. All of this deliciousness is perfectly accented with rosemary-infused sea salt.

The Lentil Co. is on a mission to bring extra plant-based crunch to your life in 2025! Their exceptional collection of distinctively crunchy, tasty snacks featuring mung lentils, millet, lotus seeds and other exotic ingredients are delicious as standalone treats or when sprinkled on top of salads, curries, casseroles and soups. Plus, they’re high-fiber, high-protein, vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO to boot.

Protein Primetime Protein is one of the three macronutrients—fat and carbohydrates being the other two—that the body needs in large amounts to function properly. Fueled by the popularity of gym culture, impact of fitness influencers and growing number of Americans on weight-loss medications who need extra protein to maintain muscle mass, high-protein diets are currently all the rage. Protein is also increasingly being consumed by individuals looking to maintain energy levels throughout the day and support their overall health and wellness goals. In addition to its role in muscle growth and repair, protein promotes feelings of fullness, which can help with weight management by reducing overall caloric intake.

When increasing your protein intake, consider the big (health) picture and opt for nutrient-dense, whole foods that deliver a package of diet benefits. Lean cuts of grass-fed meats and pastured poultry are good options, as is fish of all kinds as the fat content in seafood is unsaturated so even high fat fish like tuna and mackerel are healthy choices. Other protein-rich items you can find in the farmers market this winter include pastured eggs, yogurt, Great Joy Family Farm’s handmade tofu, chickpea hummus, The Lentil Co.'s ready-to-cook lentil mixes, and Wave Hill Breads and Orwashers Bakery's whole grain breads. Regarding the latter, you may be surprised to learn that two slices of whole wheat bread contain the same amount of protein as one egg! 

Nothing Sour About It Sourdough saw an uptick in popularity during the pandemic, when many chefs and home cooks tended to sourdough starter cultures during quarantine. Sourdough bread is rich in nutrients, easier to digest than white bread, and contains prebiotics which feed the good bacteria in your gut. Since 2020, sourdough has spread beyond bread, so we are set to see sourdough applications in all sorts of recipes in our farmers markets this year including cookies, s’mores, pizza crust and bagels.

Badass Bagels’ sourdough bagels are entirely different from a standard yeast bagel. They’re light, chewy, crunchy, and end with a tang. Badass Bagels begins each batch with a rye flour-based starter that has become very happy and active – so active that it often bubbles, expands and takes over the counter it’s resting on. This special culture allows the bagel dough to be naturally leavened without using commercial yeast. Many people with gluten sensitivities say that they can enjoy these bagels without issue. Or you can enjoy their gluten-free bagels, which are now available to pre-order (ask at the stand).

Wave Hill Breads’ Wild Yeast Sourdough Miche, Sourdough Batard, Sourdough Baguette and Sourdough Boule are made onsite at their artisan micro-bakery. They believe in making delicious, hand-crafted European-style breads and pastries by using a traditional age-old approach that requires a three-day process from mixing to baking in small batches. Wave Hill Breads pride themselves on using locally sourced organic grains which are personally milled at their baking facility to enhance the freshness, flavor and quality of each loaf.

Orwashers Bakery's Chardonnay Miche is a classic French country loaf, reinterpreted with a mix of different sourdough starters that provide a satisfying and complex flavor. Their sourdough bagels are made with a heritage sourdough starter and steamed instead of boiled. The end result is a bagel that is chewier and more complex than your standard NYC bagel.

We hope you enjoyed this preview of the top 2025 food trends predicted to influence Americans’ eating habits over the course of the coming year. While consuming a balanced, sustainable and healthy diet is always advisable, sampling current food fashions within the context of farmers market shopping can be a fun way to refresh your recipes, introduce new ingredients, experiment with unfamiliar foods, explore different cuisines, and keep yourself out of a food rut this winter.

Health Tonic for Dogs and Cats: Boost Your Pet’s Wellness

Caring for your furry friends goes beyond just providing food, shelter, and affection. Ensuring their overall health and vitality is equally important. One of the best ways to support your pets' well-being is by incorporating a health tonic for dogs and cats into their daily routine. At Unleash Wellness, we believe in empowering pet owners with natural, effective solutions to enhance their pets' quality of life.

Why Your Pet Needs a Health Tonic

A health tonic for dogs and cats is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity in today’s fast-paced world. Pets, just like humans, are exposed to environmental toxins, dietary imbalances, and stressors that can affect their health. Here's why investing in a high-quality tonic is a smart choice:

1. Improved Immunity

Health tonics are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help strengthen your pet’s immune system. A robust immune system means fewer trips to the vet and a happier, healthier pet.

2. Enhanced Digestion

Pets often struggle with digestive issues due to improper diets or sensitivity to certain foods. A good health tonic can promote better digestion and ensure that your furry friend absorbs all the nutrients from their meals.

3. Shiny Coat and Healthy Skin

One of the visible benefits of a health tonic for dogs and cats is an improvement in your pet’s coat and skin health. Ingredients like omega fatty acids, biotin, and zinc can reduce itching, flakiness, and hair loss, giving your pet a lustrous coat.

What to Look for in a Health Tonic

Not all health tonics are created equal. When choosing the best option for your pet, consider the following:

Natural Ingredients

Look for tonics made from natural, non-toxic ingredients. Artificial additives can sometimes do more harm than good.

Age-Appropriate Formulation

Different life stages require different nutrients. Make sure the tonic you choose caters to your pet’s specific age and lifestyle needs.

Easy Administration

Pets can be picky eaters, so choose a tonic that’s easy to administer, whether it’s through their food or directly.

At Unleash Wellness, we prioritize all these factors in our range of health tonics to provide the best for your pets.

To get the most out of your pet's health tonic, follow these simple steps:

Read the LabelAlways follow the recommended dosage mentioned on the product label to ensure safe and effective results.

Mix it with FoodIf your pet is hesitant, mix the tonic with their regular meals to mask the taste.
