My first therapist I ever had was so funny. I remember one time when I was so stressed that I picked an entire wart off of my hand in the lobby and my jeans were covered in blood. Not a word was ever spoken about that behavior. All we did was draw and talk about my ocs
#fun fact no wart treatment helped for that thing#but I literally picked the entire thing out with my bare hands#had a huge hole in my hand for a while#never came back#if you aint cutting they will nawt get on to you for self-harming behavior it's hilarious#monnie rambles

I haven't done one of these in a while and I have a lot of new followers so here's the rub. If you don't want to hear Christian bashing then skip the post. I get "not all Christians" "don't judge people" yadda yadda yadda. Whatever. Fair warning you've been warned. If you go farther you can't say I didn't warn you because that's exactly what I did and am continuing to do right here. See. WARNING. Unfollow me I don't give two shits. I am venting about what happened today and I am going to use some harsh ass fucking language! My mood waxes and wanes as the moon. My heart is torn between Fenrir and Tyr and sometimes Fenrir's unbridled rage and aggression towards those who oppress is what speaks to me on an emotional level. I'm not looking for someone to spread my posts I'm not looking for people to agree with my posts. I'm just fucking pissed off at some Bible fuckers and I'm going to get nasty!
With that said. Anyone stayed up until this point let's have some fun!
I tried... Gods help me I tried. But the signs are what do it for me. The assumption that they know what is happening deafens their ears and dulls their minds. Approaching a girl in a parking lot at a planned parenthood who you don't know to tell her she shouldn't commit murder is fucking trash and I hope your God judges you as harshly as you judged her! I hope your God fucking aborts your ass you limp dicked vagina mouthed poor excuse for a fucking skeleton bag!
To All these people who are posting the anti-christian videos because Christians are going nuts again (and fucking Thor on Prozac! one thing you can always count on is a Midwestern Bible wanged nutcase giving you a good show to post.)
I fucking love you!
The Christians in my town are not any different and if I have to continue to drive by that crowd of Jesus ass sniffers every morning I go to work I'm going to lose my shit. "God hates f**s" "hell is real" "repent" oh and my favorite "abortion stops a beating heart." Looks Hitler should have been aborted and you can't tell me every politician doesn't love the fact their mistresses have access to get that regular booty call aborted.
I am pro-Choice! Give the power back to the child bearing individuals whose bodies you claim. If it's not my body it's not my fucking business. If it's not my medical chart I don't give two shits.
I wouldnt want someone stopping me from getting any cancer treatment if I would ever need it. You know some tumors have more function than a fucking aborted fetus. This isn't about the fetus. If it was you'd make adoptions hella cheap, you'd make medical care for the pregnant women fucking free and the cost to give birth to th child would be fucking free, you would give fucking more rights to the fucking mother and take fucking rights away from sexually active men. You would make fucking sure than any time a sperm left a fucking nut it was accounted for because that sperm has more life in it than a fucking egg.
(fuck you and your "God")
Seriously these people have no job other than to harass innocent people seeking medical help and guess what most of them are fucking old white dudes and Karens.
Damn I hate Christians!
I'm not saying curse them... But if you join in my ritual tonight seeking "advice" on these netherspawn Christ pounders i know my gods wouldn't reject your offering.
No on second thought fucking curse their asses! You can't curse them with stupidity that's already accomplished but fucking curse them with a sign that shows the world what they are. Make them known so no one is tricked.
Also genital warts. They really need genital warts.
And syphilis
And may there be no medical treatment facility within reach other than a planned parenthood that can help them.
Ahhhhhh feels so good to get that off my chest. 😌

Let’s Talk Pedicures
Are your feet pedi ready? I offer a range of pedicures and this post will give you a quick break down of the two main Pedicure Brands I offer. Within each brand there are a variety of options so which Pedicure should you go for?
Footlogix Peducueticals OR Famous Names Releaf ?
Lets start by discussing the two main differences between Footlogix and Famous Names Releaf, the two brands I use for my pedi services. It’s worth noting that both are vegan friendly & cruelty free!
Footlogix
Footlogix is the worlds first and only Pediceutical® brand which uses innovative products formulated with revolutionary Dermal Infusion Technology® and Spiraleen® to give effective and transformational results for a variety of foot related skin conditions. Footlogix offers mini home after care options tailored to specific foot needs (such as cracked heels, sweaty feet or even peeling skin) so you can keep up with your footcare on a daily or weekly bases depending on how much improvement you want to see and how quickly.
Footlogix carries active ingredients past the Stratum Corneum into the layers of the epidermis, helping to restore the health of the skin. This technology ensures that the Footlogix® active ingredients penetrate into the layers of the epidermis and reach the targeted areas. With no greasy outer layer to occlude it, the skin is hydrated and retains its ability to function normally, resulting in healthy feet.
Footlogix is famous for its cult Callus Treatment which transform dry callus skin instantly! See just some of my before/after transformations using the Footlogix Callus Treatment & Pedicure Range below :
I offer this Callus Treatment in both my Happy Pedicure & Luxury Pedicure options and you can also add a gel polish to either of these Treatments for just an extra £10.
Famous Names Releaf
Famous Names have JUST launched their new Releaf Pedicure, co created by some of the biggest industry players and made sustainably with natural powerful ingredients in mind. If you’re a regular customer of mine, you may already have tried some of the Famous Names products as they make one of my favourite skin oils and lotions “ Dadi Oil” and “Dadi Lotion” which I retail and use in the treatment room at the end of most services. Fun fact : Dadi Oil, Dadi Lotion and Dadi Scrub are all named by the creators daughter Nikki who was asked when she was a little girl what to call the products... she said Daddy Oil as her father Jim created them. Incidentally, Jim also worked for CND for a time and created CND Solar Oil.
Unlike the Footlogix Pedicure, which is considered to be a “medi pedi” or “pedicuetical” pedicure, Famous Names Releaf focuses on natural ingredients & sustainability and is considered to be more of a spa-like or cosmetic pedicure.
The creators of Releaf wanted a fun highly effective pedicure system that is wonderful for your feet, but also kind to the environment. One year in the making, they’ve utilised as many natural ingredients sourced from sustainable sources as possible and created Releaf !
The Releaf Pedicure line uses a new trademarked AU Complex, mixing together the hydrating and soothing properties of Allantoin and Urea as well as Eucalyptus :
In this Pedi Range, Famous Names Dadi Lotion and Scrub have been given an uplift as well with the new AU Complex infused alongside the regular 21 essential organic oils!
I offer two Releaf Pedicures, Releaf Gold and Releaf Platinum. The main difference is the Platinum option offers a shot of the Urea in the soak to add even more hydration to dry tired feet and finishes with not just the Dadi Oil, but also a powerful CBD based Elixir (which has a 4% concentration of CBD in it) aimed to help soothe muscle aches and tensions.
In my opinion both Pedicure brands offer a real feet treat. Once you’ve chosen a pedicure from the menu below, upon booking in I will send you a Pre Pedi Consultation form which gives me a little bit more info about how I can help you achieve your footcare goals.
*Please note that I will refer unhealthy toes/feet to a podiatrist as these fall outside the remits of my practice and insurance. If you’re unsure if you should come for a pedi with me, just drop me a DM, I’m happy to discuss if I can help you or not and I can recommend a great podiatrist ! (This would include things such as ingrown toe nails, fungal nail infections or veruccas or planter warts. It’s best to get these sort of things looked at my a medical professional and treated as soon as possible so don’t feel embarrassed if you need to ask about this sort of thing! ) I currently do not offer treatments to male clients, anyone under the age of 18 or offer services where clients can bring friends or someone else with them. I’m doing my best to keep to all Covid secure guidelines so we have a safe and happy space! Thanks for your patience and understanding :)
My menu is broken down above so you can choose the best option for you and you can book in directly here: https://trw.page.link/XzaZ

Some Really Heavy Thoughts on the Relationship Between Scorpia and Catra
Fair warning, guys: I'm gonna get into some deeply personal stuff involving abuse recovery and past mistakes here. I will not be making excuses for Catra or her treatment of Scorpia, but well... Let's just say there's a reason why their relationship has always me wince. Because it touches on some stuff that is likely relevant to a lot of ex-abuse victims.
This entire meta stems from an epiphany I had while discussing with @johannas-motivational-insults how I have a really hard time writing Scorpia, and me trying to pinpoint what exactly makes me so uncomfortable working with her or looking at her relationship with Catra in detail.
Let me back up a bit. We all love Scorpia. She's a big cuddly sweetheart without a mean bone in her body. She's fantastic, a bright point in the overall suckage that is the Horde, and she gives GREAT hugs. So why does their relationship bother me so much?
Well... It's because I've been there once before in my own life. And it's one of my deepest regrets, so seeing that play out on screen and instinctively knowing where this is going fucking sucks.
Personal stuff under the cut.
We've already covered Scorpia being a good kid. That said, I feel like a lot of people just flanderize her into being this perfect wonderful friend who wholly accepts Catra (and conversely either woobify Catra or make her a horrible monster who doesn't appreciate a good thing) but... the truth is a lot more nuanced than that.
Scorpia doesn't wholly accept Catra because in order to truly accept someone you have to see them for who they really are, warts and all, and Scorpia doesn't. She idealizes Catra and either ignores or downplays her very real flaws and problems, and tries to excuse any actions she commits that don't live up to that constructed image, which is of course what she confronts in s4 (and I’m proud of her for that.) It's not done with any ill intent, but it's still not a good thing in any relationship; romantic, platonic, familial, any kind.
Here's where things get real personal. Also, I wanna specify that I am not forcing myself to talk about this, even though it still hurts in a lot of ways. Though I am probably gonna bring this up with my therapist when I next see her.
I've mentioned before in previous meta that I am an ex-child abuse victim who followed a very similar trajectory to Catra once I got out of that situation. I was angry, I was hurt, and I was ADAMANT that nobody get close to me again and fully prepared to lash out as much as I needed in order to make that happen. Occasionally people would slip through my guard anyway, but on the whole I was very successful at that goal and torpedoed a lot of bridges back in those days.
And as much as it kills me to admit it... I had my own Scorpia too.
Her name was Amy, and I met her in my freshman year of high school after I ended up in a private school for the “gifted and talented” (which ended up being its own mistake, but that's a story for another day.)
To put this entire situation into perspective: at the time I was struggling to process and cope with my abuse, I had just been misdiagnosed with major depression after an entire year of contemplating suicide, and I had been put on a ridiculously high dosage of the antidepressant Wellbutrin--literally the highest dosage they could legally give an adolescent without the risk of seizures--which cranked my rage up to a constant underlying simmer and also gave me horrific fucking nightmares, to the point that for about a year and a half I was consistently only getting two hours of sleep because I was waking up screaming nearly every night. This is not me making excuses for being such a dick, but I do try to keep in mind that younger me was dealing with an absolute shitshow when passing judgment on myself. I was trying to survive a situation that absolutely no one was equipped to handle at all of 14 years old.
And then here comes Amy.
Amy was one of those people who was relentlessly optimistic to an almost suspicious degree (more on that later.) The kind of person who will reply to any statement of "I'm having a bad [x]" with generic look-on-the-bright-side platitudes and a big smile without actually addressing anything you said. She was also one of those people who was aggressively Christian, not in a mean way, but in an "it was her answer for literally everything" way, which given that I was struggling with my own faith at the time was practically a recipe for disaster.
But for whatever reason, this girl latched onto me, no matter how much I tried to get her to do otherwise.
I wanna note that I wasn't wholly devoid of friends at the time; my best friend, Michael (who is still my best friend/bro to this day) had also gotten into the school along with me, but the rest of our friend group hadn't and those relationships drifted apart in the ensuing years, which only served to compound the underlying issues. And I will always be thankful that the guy was able to roll with the punches and stick by me even through my absolute worst, but it was also pretty irritating having to switch between my bro who understands me even if he didn’t always agree to my much tenser interactions with Amy. So back to her.
Basically, this girl just kinda inserts herself into my life, refuses to take a hint or back off, and any time I try to talk about my issues or get her to understand a little and make an actual connection, I'm met with the overwhelming feeling of "You're not really seeing me. You're not listening." So I responded by being a fucking bitch. I would ignore her, make fun of her, treat her like a third wheel, etc. In hindsight, it was a dick move, but at the time it made sense to me. I genuinely felt like it was her fault for never listening to me in the first place, so I justified it by telling myself I was just paying her back in kind.
I lost touch with Amy after I was kicked out of school at the tail end of freshman year due to a Wellbutrin-induced rage episode (nobody got hurt, but my attitude at the time was so consistently extreme that the school administration literally had an inch thick dossier on my behavior and what the other kids thought of me, so that incident was just what they needed to justify kicking me out.) Afterwards, my parents made the decision to relocate to another town since my expulsion meant I would be banned from going back into school for a full year unless we changed systems--and even then I was required to go into a continuation school to prove I had been rehabilitated, but I digress. Point is that I was uprooted from that environment and I didn't bother keeping in touch.
I actually found out years later from a friend who went to that same high school--though we didn't actually become friends until after my expulsion--that the reason why Amy was the way she was is that in the year prior to meeting me, her mother had committed suicide and she had been the one to discover her body. So in hindsight, her entire deal made sense: she was trying to survive in the only way she knew how and cope with a situation no one should ever have to, same as me.
But that didn't mean we were able to connect. The great tragedy of that situation, and the thing I regret the most about it, is that we were just two horribly damaged kids that were utterly incapable of actually seeing each other as we were at the time. And it ultimately wasn't anybody's fault, which ironically makes it even harder to accept.
I regret the way I treated her. I wish I could have made her life a little better, and I still hope and pray she got the help she needed elsewhere.
That's what makes Scorptra so incredibly tragic to me as well. Scorpia is a good-hearted person who does genuinely care for Catra, but she also willfully blinds herself to the things Catra is dealing with and her relentless optimism often just ends up rubbing salt in the wounds. Catra is wrong to treat Scorpia so badly, but I also fully understand those feelings of resentment and anger you develop towards someone when they consistently refuse to see you as you are, because I've been there. And that's also why I've always had a hard time with Scorptra romantically (though if you ship it, good for you! I honestly wish I could), because those issues have always been present in their relationship and made it unsustainable from the very beginning.
Something was always destined to break between them. And that's what makes it so damn hard for me to write Scorpia as a character, because in many ways she reminds me of one of the things I regret the most in my life: how I treated someone else who had the best intentions horribly when I was at my absolute worst. These days I try to be kind to my past self as part of the healing process, but when I think of my actions in that year it is really fucking hard. I don't like to think about it, even though I know I feel like I need to (which is also why this meta exists.)
Neither Scorpia or Catra were at fault for the fact that they couldn't see each other properly: it was just a really bad case of wrong place, wrong time. And that's what makes it hurt.
Also, if you made it this far, I'm sorry this was so depressing. Please have a happy cat and scorpion to hopefully feel a little better. Also huge shoutout to @yesbpdcatra for encouraging me to get this out there. You're the best, fam.

18. Em
Author’s Note/Table of Contents
MCs/OCs featured:
Nora Magnus [ @dat-silvers-girl ]
Sarahi Silvers [ @dat-silvers-girl ]
"Bill's brilliant."
It was all I could think to say to Diego as we walked through the corridors, the rest of the group having left before us. Diego just chuckled at my remark, though, and nodded.
"Indeed, Bill does have a lot of skill," Diego agreed. "A shame we didn't get to duel before the end of last year. He's certainly shaped up to be quite the dueller."
"Well, with a few more spells he knew compared to the rest of us, I'd say we stand no chance against him," I joked with a laugh. "Though I'd like to ask--how in the world did my sister get to duel the troll and the dragon and the Acromantula and the Ice Knight and the werewolves and all those dark wizards over the last few years, and end up undefeated against them all?"
"I'm sure she had a lot of help," Diego responded thoughtfully. "Much like the rest of us now, what with him tutoring us. She didn't do it alone."
"Did you help her with any of those things last year?" I asked him then.
Diego nodded. "Well, I helped her train to fight both the troll and the dragon. The actual duel, she called Merula to help with the troll--"
"She WHAT?!"
"Not sure why. I suppose she wanted to see whether she was able to take the offer of redemption. But Merula was my duelling student," Diego said. "I suppose you could say both of my pupils went to fight the dumbest beast in history."
"And somehow survived to tell the tale."
"Yup."
Just as the two of us reached the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room, however, we were greeted by the sixth year Hufflepuff prefect--Sarahi, I think her name was--and three first-year Gryffindor girls. Well, not just any first-year Gryffindor girls. Angelina, Alicia, and Nora were all standing at the doorway, practically pleading for entry into the common room.
"I'm sorry, girls, but you're not in Hufflepuff so I can't let you in. And the fact that Fred and George released Dungbombs in the Gryffindor common room isn't a good excuse," Sarahi was saying.
That was when Alicia spotted me, and she quickly rushed over to me, knocking the air out of me without warning as she threw her arms around me.
"Em!" she cried. "Please, please, please tell your prefect to let us in! We can't study anywhere else, the library's closed and our common room stinks and it's too dark to go outside and--"
"Alicia, slow down," I told her gently. "Of course you can camp out in the Hufflepuff common room for a bit. You can borrow our showers and do your homework by the fireplace. It's really a cozy place to be."
"But it looks like your prefect's putting the foot down. Not that she'd blame us. No one wants to smell the stink of the Dungbomb," Alicia said dejectedly. "She's even turning down Nora's requests, and they're really close friends from what I can see."
"How in the world did your common room get the Dungbomb treatment?" Diego asked Alicia warily, an eyebrow raised in intrigue.
"Fred and George. Probably the next wart on Filch's backside," Alicia responded. "They just released a huge crate of them and ran off! Honestly, I have no idea why they would do that. My hunch? Probably to annoy Filch for the fun of it."
"Nora, I'm really sorry, but I have to put the foot down," Sarahi told her friend firmly. "You could try the Artefact room, it's worked as a good study place for a few students I've encountered--"
"BUT IT STINKS!" Nora argued. "What now, you want us to wander around the school smelling like mouldy cheese and stinky socks? Filch would throw a fit if he caught even the slightest whiff of that!"
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, eventually approaching Sarahi. "Pardon me for intruding on this business, but they do seem to be in dire need of some basic facilities, Sarahi. Besides, they're my friends, too. I'll be extremely careful with our security measures. This would be the only time."
Sarahi looked skeptically at me, then Diego, then the three stinky Gryffindor girls who now looked at her with cute puppy eyes. Then she sighed and nodded.
"Alright, Em. I'll let you bring these three into our common room, under one condition." She turned to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "You must supervise them at all times, and if they happen to do anything rash, you're taking full responsibility. This is the only time I'll bend the rules. Understood?"
"Yes." I nodded at her and then beckoned to the three girls. "Come on. You better get yourselves a nice warm shower before anything else."
A few moments later, we entered the Hufflepuff common room. The Gryffindor girls immediately made a beeline toward the showers, practically tripping over their robes in their haste, and even as they ran off I could smell the faint trace of Stinksap and animal feces and every combination of disgusting scents waft through the air.
It was a wonder I haven't fainted from the stink, yet. Even as I pulled out my essay on the Levitation charm, my mind swam as I recalled all the times I had to help my father with the Mimbulus Mimbletonia back home. Every accidental probe of the pores caused the foul liquid to spurt every which way, splashing in my hair and coating my glasses and face to the point where I could not sense anything except for that disgusting sap. No way was I looking forward to learning about this plant in Herbology.
Then again, I had to smell dragon dung every day back home. I shouldn't have reason to complain.
"Ah, the Levitation Charm," Diego spoke up so suddenly I jumped in my seat. "I remember learning that like it was yesterday."
"I'm still having some trouble over it," I admitted, pulling out my wand and a Galleon from my pocket. "The timing of the incantation and the movements still trip me up."
"At least you won't end up like one of those struggling Gryffindor kids in Charms," Diego joked, withdrawing his own wand from his pocket as well. "He always ends up practising this charm every class. From what I've heard, of course."
"Six years and he still hasn't understood it? That's horrible!"
"You'll be fine, little Em. Play with the big kids for a bit, and you'll see you can learn a lot," Diego encouraged. "Besides, you were able to keep up with Bill's lessons. I saw you writing notes and showing them to your sister. If you can manage those, the Levitation Charm will become cake."
He then waved his wand--swish and flick, just as Flitwick instructed. "Wingardium Leviosa!"
The Galleon soon lifted a few inches off the ground, small white sparks enveloping it as it bobbed like a bubble through air. Entrancing. Mesmerizing. I didn't realize I was so transfixed on the coin until it dropped back on the carpet.
"I'm sure a few pointers would work. Come on, let's get started."
Soon, the essay on the Levitation Charm had reached its conclusion, the Galleon had now achieved liftoff thanks to Diego's tutelage, and the Gryffindor girls have just re-entered the common room wearing their nightgowns and stuffing their dirty laundry deep into their bags.
"Never. Again." Angelina's scowl became more pronounced the deeper she punched her fist into the sack. "If I see another Dungbomb released in our common room, I will give Fred and George a good beating."
"Hey, I thought that was Clara's job," Alicia reminded her.
"Well, he did tell us to lighten up sometimes. Fred, I mean," I recalled, allowing the coin to drop into my palm. "Said the curse might not spread after all. It's only affected one student."
"Doesn't mean we're not all in danger. The curse has only started, it would only be a matter of time before it spread," Angelina pointed out. "And who knows what would happen to all of us?"
"Let's just try to get to the laundry before anything else happens," Nora finally suggested. "I don't want to get Petrified or lost or reprimanded by another Prefect."
The three girls eventually left, and I turned to Diego again, dropping the Galleon in his hand.
"What's this for?" he asked. "You don't have to pay me."
"It's not payment. It's a gift," I told him sincerely, a small smile on my face. "Years ago, I gave Clara a Knut, and it gave her luck. I thought you might use some, too."
"And this isn't because I helped you with Wingardium Leviosa, is it?"
I shook my head. "You've stuck by me for a lot. I owe it to you as a thanks."
For a moment, Diego looked mildly surprised. Then he smiled back and put it in his pocket, and then took my hand.
"Come on. I'll show you one of my favourite places in the castle," he simply said.
And I trusted him to lead the way out of the common room.

matchup commission
@seaweedsallyandhercacklingturtle (it won’t let me tag you for some reason?) thank you so so much for commissioning me!! i actually find it quite touching!!
i hope you enjoy it (i did my research so!! i hope i did a good job hhh), and if you have any issues or questions, do let me know. thank you once again!!
so, out of the royal siblings, your main match is...
xander!!
i’m a big fan of contrast in relationships, because i think it keeps things interesting and can encourage a ton of growth. and you and xander balance each other out quite well
firstly, you said that you’re very bubbly and optimistic. i think that would contrast delightfully with xander’s more somber, stern demeanour (this, of course, melts during alone time)
i think xander fits the bill when it comes to balancing out your fire; he complements you quite well, and as i said, you could encourage a lot of growth in one another. there’s much you can learn from each other!
dare i say, a power couple?
xander can be quite stubborn, so i think your open-mindedness could be good for him!! i think you could help him consider a different perspective every so often, and a very fresh one at that. and that’s something that could help him in every aspect of his life!!
conversely, i think he would be a good balance for your impulsiveness. xander seems to think through everything (at least from my perspective), and would likely encourage you to stop and consider whatever impulsive action you might be about to take
furthermore, because he’s so cautious, xander might be able to pick up on whether or not someone is untrustworthy before you do. but, he wouldn’t want you to stop being trusting; i think a lot of his cautiousness comes from being so world-weary. trusting too much often comes from a space of loving people wholeheartedly, and he wouldn’t want you to lose that
but, he’d probably prefer it if you deferred to his judgement when he decides someone really isn’t worth your trust
i think xander really needs to be spoiled every once in a while. he’s a hard worker, and he puts a lot on himself, and he doesn’t have the self-esteem to show for it. on top of it all, he’s also doing his best to be a good brother. i think how you go overboard with making your loved ones happy would be very meaningful for him; mayhaps, it makes him tear up from time to time? but do not tell the others
something that sticks out to me about xander is how he keeps notes on all the little details and interests of his siblings; you mentioned that you also keep a bit of a mental catalogue of details about people (favourite food, love language, etc.), and it think that’s an interesting trait you share!!
i think it’d make you both very thoughtful in your relationship, simply because you have similar approaches to loving people? if that makes sense?
and going off that, i think he’d be excellent at remembering the little things you like; every so often, he’d bring home your favourite flowers, or favourite food, usually coupled with an apology for working so late (because whether it’s in-game or au, you just know that xander is the type to work himself to the bone)
i think he’d love your creative side, and he’d be very encouraging
i think he’d find your goofiness and sense of humour endearing!! he’s quite straightforward himself, so i imagine there’d be some delightful contrast there. alternatively, i think he could be the type who has a surprisingly goofy sense of humour! either way, it works
he has a harder time grasping the self-depreciation, just because i feel like,,, he’s struggled with self-image in the past, and with feeling good about himself and his own abilities. so, when he hears you make a joke at your own expense, his instinctive reaction is to be like “NO you’re wonderful!” it’s charmingly sincere, even though you have to reassure him that it’s just a joke
i think it’s important to highlight that in elise and xander’s supports, it’s revealed that he acted as a surrogate father for her, giving her the support and love that garon didn’t. this links back to the point earlier about how he remembers details; i think you and xander just love in similar ways?
you’re both very loving and giving to the people who matter to you. and i think it’s something that would be a key foundation in your relationship
furthermore, i think it all points to how he can be very, very reassuring!! i think that’s just in his nature when he cares about someone
side note: i think he’d learn to love your brothers, as well!! he’s naturally more introverted, and may need the four of you to lead the conversation, but he’d make a sincere effort
side note on the side note: your people-person nature would help him out a bit!! while he’s definitely trained and taught himself to be more extroverted and more comfortable with people, he’d be relieved that he can defer to you sometimes
also thinks it’s really cute when he sees you with young children
i think he generally fits your profile of an ideal partner; first of all, as touched on several times above, he has the capacity to be very gentle and patient with his partner
and he’s definitely protective!! i think there’s a bit of a worry-wart in him
that being said, i think he could be encouraged to try out some of those more adrenaline-fuelled activities you enjoy. he might find trying them out calming, since he’ll probably understand what you’re actually getting yourself into
idk how tall you are, but xander has such tall energy. so, he’s the type to give those all-encompassing hugs that just swallow you up
and like honestly? i think he’s kind of touch starved; which means endless cuddles
i think the two of you would be able to understand what it means to have people walk over you. while xander is capable of standing his ground, his relationship with garon shows a different side of him. while it’s only his father who can push him around, xander would, at the very least, understand; and he’d be very harsh about the people who used you
definitely tells you to cut them out, or to stand up for yourself. if you feel you can’t do the latter, then he’s got some Words for them
i feel like xander would handle your seizures quite well? he’s a trained warrior, after all, and that means he’s good at thinking on his feet and responding in kind. it’s all very instinctual.
dotes on you forever after the fact. once his adrenaline-fueled response is over, he starts to freak out. he’ll stick by your side for the rest of the day, constantly bringing you water and snacks and blankets and whatever else you might ask for
it’s not that he hasn’t done his research, it’s just that i feel like he might,,, be the type to catastrophize when overwhelmed with information. because he cares about you, and because seizures are something he doesn’t quite understand, he tends to freak out a little
xander is quite busy, however, and sometimes he struggles to fit time for the two of you into his schedule
but, when he does get time with you, he goes all out. he pushes himself to remind you how much you matter to him, to encourage you to speak your mind, and to shower you with the care and attention that you show other people
those quiet moments he gets with you are his favourite, and whenever things are bearing down on him, he’ll recall them; and he’s always looking forward to the next time
i think he’s be very mindful with it if you told him about your emotional abuse and the toxic people in your past, tbh. because he knows that you haven’t been treated right, he’s going to go above and beyond to show you what you’re worth
whenever you two do have conflict (which i don’t think would be super common?), he’d still be mindful not to give you the silent treatment and to give you the space to speak your mind; he doesn’t want to put you through the very same
xander evaded me a bit when i tried to think of his mbti type, but i’m going to tentatively put him down as an istj
that’s not usually listed as a highly compatible type with infjs, but i perceive that as meaning that there’s a lot of growth and development that you could offer each other
i don’t have much to say on the point but please just imagine: xander, his arms overflowing with your three bunnies. that is all
as for your alternative matchups...
leo!!
i,,, kept changing my mind over which nohrian guy to match you with. kept flipping. i mean i chose xander but leo surely gave him a run for his money,,,
once again with the contrast; like xander, i think your personality complements leo quite well!!
you balance each other out, and honestly i think it’d be quite cute. you definitely have the “someone will die.” “of fun!” vibe going on
he’s more of a ‘behind the scenes’ kind of guy, whereas you’re the people-person. i think this can work quite well in a relationship (even when it comes to things like your forgetfulness -- leo takes notice of those details instead), and i think you can offer each other a new perspective??
leo appreciates your open-mindedness not so much in that he wants to do things with you, but more so because he enjoys being able to just,,, talk to someone about the things that he studies and that he’s interested in
so, as long as you’re willing to lend an ear and maybe ask a few questions, he’s going to be (secretly) delighted!!
i feel like,,, leo’s going to make you smile and laugh and he’s not even going to realise why, if that makes sense? you’ll just start giggling to yourself over something he said and he’s just like ?????
but a part of him feels very proud that he’s managed to do that, even if by accident. it just makes his heart feel very Full
i get this vibe that he has a bit of a ‘magpie eye’ and he just,,, collects crystals and what not to bring them home to you
that or just,,, random shiny things that he’ll think you like. you’d amass quite the collection
leo is much less trusting than you, and i think his critical eye would help protect you from people who might walk all over you
on the other hand, i think your temperament would help him open up and trust people a bit more? i think he’s always going to be cautious, but you’d help him,,, not assume the worst, if that makes sense
leo’s a bit of a romantic at heart, and i think he’d be surprisingly affirming and patient!!
he’s a smart guy, and he’s going to pick up on the fact that you tend to be self-conscious in your relationships
so, he’ll try to do and say things to help you feel comfortable and seen. whether that’s encouraging you to speak up, or paying close attention to the things that upset you and rectifying his behaviour, leo definitely would make an active effort to help you feel more comfortable
he’d also be able to see that in how much you give to other people; so, he’d make sure that he could tell you, as best he could and in his own way, that he genuinely appreciates you
balances out your impulsive side quite well. leo thinks through everything, and once again, he’s cautious. but, on the flip side, i think you could help encourage him to,,, relax every so often
not as much a fan of your more adrenaline-filled hobbies, though. i think those are more likely to stress him out
genuinely enjoys your creativity!! i sort of headcanon that, if things had been different, he might have a bit of an artistic streak himself. he loves seeing what you’ve made, both with a constructive critical eye and the gaze of a proud partner
covers your ass when it comes to forgetting the very day things. leo’s just very observant, i think, and he takes stock of everything; so every time you walk out without your wallet, leo’s only a few steps behind, ready to slip it into your pocket
i think he’d get your humour a bit more than xander does? while he has a bit of an inferiority complex, i feel like leo would be able to see the comedy in poking fun at yourself, and may even find it cathartic idk
like xander, leo would be quite good at handling your seizures. he’s level-headed and clever, and he’s definitely studied up on them to know what to do
however, i feel like he’d be calmer with you afterwards, unlike xander. because he would’ve researched it deeply, he’d know to trust you in your nonchalance; and if he was worried, he’d know exactly how to take care of you.
i keep changing my mind on leo’s type, but i think a strong case could be made for intp!!
funnily enough, the differences between auxiliary fe and auxilary ti is nicely summarized in that portion where i talk about how you two could balance each other out
(alternatively i can easily see him as an intj which i think still works despite being vastly different but,,, infj & intj have the potential to get along quite well, largely due to their shared ni. i do think fe and te have a lot to learn from each other, though!!)
and finally...
hinoka!!
you said you’ve been matched with her twice and i can see why!!
you both have this energy that i think will mesh really well, and she definitely matches your fire
first of all, you both enjoy high-adrenaline activities. i think that’s something you’d really bond over, and would usually the centre piece of your dates
probably how you got to know each other, tbh
loves how open-minded you are; hinoka seems like the type to want to try everything with you, and to show her all the things that she loves
i hope you’re not afraid of heights because you bet she’s getting on the back of her pegasus
i think she’d quite enjoy how bubbly and optimistic you are, and she’d bounce off that very well. while she can be quite serious, i think hinoka would really let her guard down around you
hinoka’s tough and hard-working, but she also has a sensitive side; i think you’d be someone she could sincerely trust with those emotions
you can both be impulsive, which is a double-edged sword. while it’s something you can certainly connect on, idk who’s going to rein the both of you in
it’ll probably end up being ryoma, let’s be real
hinoka’s naturally very protective, and she’d be furious at anyone who walked all over you. she’s definitely the sort of partner who would stick up for you (for better or worse), and is constantly reminding you of your worth and how important you are to her
hinoka gives the best hugs. no, i do not take constructive criticism--
hinoka definitely has a goofy sense of humour too. like without a doubt. you two have a ton of inside jokes that the rest of the hoshidan family either cringe at or don’t understand. but who cares? you’re having the time of your life
you both have a lot of love to give, and you care so much about the people close to you. i think that’s a really important thing to share in a relationship, and it’d do the two of you a world of good to know that the amount of emotional energy you’re putting in will be reciprocated!!
definitely gets embarrassed when you go all out for her, though. never knows how to respond. usually just blushes to the high heavens
you’re both very forgetful when it comes to the mundane, though; idk how you two are going to work your way out of that one
would love hanging out with your brothers though!! i feel like hinoka is quite extroverted and as long as you guys were doing something fun, she’d be down
i think she’d also be the type of partner who’s good with surprises? like she pays attention to those close to her, and she really wants to show you that she loves you. so if that means grabbing food on the way home or a bouquet of your favourite flowers? she’s going to go out of her way to do it
i feel like she’d have a major soft spot for animals? she has her pegasus, of course, but i think that affection does spread out. i get the feeling she might not be the best at handling animals such as bunnies (smaller animals need a certain touch of delicacy, it seems), but she very much adores them
loves dogs though, and definitely bonds with each and every dog she meets; maybe it’s her own puppy-like nature that draws them to her?
while i’m not 100% on my analysis here, a good argument could be made for typing hinoka as an estp. she has the extroverted sensing (se) presence and brashness, but the extroverted feeling (fe) compassion and attentiveness. estps can work quite well with infjs, as they have the exact same functions, just inversed
so, there’s a lot of potential to teach one another and to grow from the relationship!!
and since you only requested a small group of characters, i thought i may as well give you my thoughts on your compatibility with the rest of them!!
elise - i tossed up whether or not to make her one of your main or alternate matches, but i’m really not sure on how old she’s supposed to be? of course, these sorts of things are written with the assumption that the character is older than 18, but,,, she still acts quite young, i think? so i think that might be something that could cause (albeit small) issues for the two of you.
however, i think you would have a wonderful bond!! you’re both bubbly, optimistic, and deeply loving, and elise definitely has a lot more levity than some of your main matches. i think she fits the bill for being very reassuring, since she just needs to tell people that she loves them So Much (and she’s very active in her relationships!! she’s not afraid to tell people how she feels!!) and, she’d love group hangouts with your brothers; the more the better, tbh. and, i think she’s absolutely the type to bring you home surprises. that just seems very on brand for her.
furthermore, i think she’d jive quite well with your energy and your enthusiasm for life (that’s the vibe you’ve given me!) so i do think elise is a great fit. with both leo and xander, she absolutely adores you as an older sister figure. easily the member of the family that makes you feel the most welcome.
ryoma - i couldn’t figure out where to place him, and i kept putting him in your alternate matchups then taking him out, and vice versa. for whatever reason, i have a hard time getting a grasp on how you two would get along?
i think you have this,,, vivacity to you that contrasts with ryoma’s very calm, collected demeanor. i think that there’s a nice contrast there, but ryoma comes off as the sort of person who has a difficult time “letting loose”. i guess a simple way of putting it is that i feel like he’s just a bit too serious?
but at the same time, ryoma can be very impulsive? he sort of just,,, charges into battle. and i don’t think having two impulsive people together is always the best thing?
funnily enough, i could level that same point of conflict at xander; but, i feel like you and xander just have more to connect over?? but, like i said, i’m having a hard time grasping how you two would work in a relationship. it’s an enigma. i think it’s because xander gives off more of a ‘vulnerable’ vibe to me (which may just be because the events of the story tends to put him in positions where he has to grapple with his inner conflict), whereas ryoma seems a bit more wise and grounded? i’m going to stop myself before i write a whole essay i’m so sorry
sakura - i have a similar issue as i did with elise, in that,,, the age is so vague ddlkfdj BUT i think there’s definitely potential for you and sakura, but it’s something you’d have to work for. sakura is a darling, but i think she might find your exuberance for life overwhelming sometimes. i think it’s a case where she’d struggle to keep up with you at first. furthermore, i think she’d share your tendency to be self-conscious in relationships, which would likely create an anxiety loop.
that being said, i think the two of you would still get along really well. you’d both flourish in a friendship, and while it seems like she’s a lot quieter than you (and certainly more reserved), i think she’d really enjoy your personality? i think you’d have a great rapport, where you can play to your strengths in your relationship.
camilla - i think that you and camilla would be able to connect quite well, as you’re both very loving and giving. i think regardless, you’d be able to have quite a good understanding of each other on the best of days?
but, all that being said, i think that camilla can exhibit some toxic tendencies from time to time. that’s a big reason as to why i haven’t put her higher up. camilla is so loving and cares so much about those close to her, but she can be very emotionally dependent. i think if you guys found ways to work through those behaviours, that’d be good, but overall,,, i just think everyone listed above would be a better fit?
but, like elise, she would be very welcoming when you joined the family (after she’s worked out that she can trust you, though, and you don’t mean any harm to her beloved siblings), and i really do think camilla at her best emulates a lot of your most admirable traits!!
takumi - honestly? i think he can just be a bit too harsh. while i think there’d be that balance that i love in relationships, your differences may be too extreme at the beginning. the clash between his more cautious approach and your tendency to trust people illustrates this quite well. i think there’s also just,,, a lot to work through for the both of you, and tamuki can be abrasive when it comes to dealing with his own insecurities. he’s very loving and he cares a lot for those close to him, but it’s going to be a long trek. i think that there are certainly elements that could work well, but it would be so much work.

Thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy: 15X17
I liked this episode, thought I understand why a lot of people didn’t. Meredith was drastically under used in this episode. She only had a few scenes and outside of standalone episodes, which this one was not, that rarely happens.
Meredith has an interesting monologue this week. It also serves as a handy reminder of what a terrible mother Ellis was. Bailey says a big fat ‘Nope’ to the lamb in the bag. We all concur. Meredith and DeLuca’s interactions at the beginning of the episode imply that Meredith and DeLuca briefly break up and are now getting back together. Ugh I wish they would stay broken up!
Meredith gives him a coffee as a peace offering implying that she was wrong to agree with Carina and raise the alarm about his Dad’s project. Meredith wasn’t wrong. Just because DeLuca’s Dad might be right about this project doesn’t change what he did. Ugh. I already hate this storyline.
The interns/residents are cutting into fish. Yuck. That was an awful transition. Parker’s back though! I like him. Are they interns or residents? They keep flipping back and forth with the terminology. I love Schmitt’s line, “We’re making fish people!” Haha! It turns out the fish skin is for a burn patient. It's a really cool and inexpensive procedure.
Maggie is invited to a Morning Show to talk about the scandal. I predicted this was going to be a shit show and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t. Jackson is wonderfully supportive! Bailey goes and talks to Alex about DeLuca’s Dad’s project. She raises the questions we’ve all been asking. Helm comes and tells them they need to go the lab. Alex and Bailey show up to find the DeLuca’s arguing in Italian. This can’t be good.
It turns out one of the lambs died and it throws the viability of the project into doubt. Alex tells them to stop arguing and tells Carina and Andrew to figure out what happened and write a report and give it to him so he can make a decision. Carina stresses once more that their father is not well and this project is not a good idea. DeLuca ignores her. Carina’s right. DeLuca’s being a blind fool.
One thing that caught my attention when DeLuca and Carina were arguing in front of Alex is that Alex approved their father’s project even though he knew he was mentally ill, did not have a diagnosis, and is not receiving treatment. Why wasn’t DeLuca’s Dad seeing a psychiatrist and getting a diagnosis a condition of him doing the project here? It seems to me that would have cleared a lot of things up and been a lot more realistic.
We then cut to Teddy and Owen talking in the ambulance bay as they wait for an incoming trauma. As usual Owen is a complete asshole. He’s passive aggressive and disrespectful to Teddy like he is to all of the women in his life. Teddy should not have to put up with his crap. Owen then decides to have a conversation with himself and Teddy says nothing, but he keeps acting like she is. He needs to see a therapist about this. Stat.
The patients in this episode are a married couple that are involved in a car wreck. The man has less serious injuries that can be easily treated. The woman is a different story. Her injuries are more severe and she’s 5 months pregnant. My heart really hurt for this poor couple. Teddy and Owen are assigned to the case. Teddy brings Carina in to help with the pregnant woman.
Carina tells her the baby is fine, but then Teddy asks to speak with her outside. It turns out Teddy has to give the patient bad news and Carina didn’t realize. They might have to do an operation which would result in the removal of her uterus which means the fetus/baby would have to be taken out. It’s too early in the pregnancy for the baby to survive and the fact that Carina told her the baby would be fine makes it so much harder for Teddy to tell her and for the patient to hear the news.
Amelia goes to a conference about alternative pain relief. Also she cut her hair! She looks gorgeous! Link also cut his hair. They’re accidentally at the conference together. Hilarity ensues. They have some great awkward scenes together. Amelia and Link keep running into each other awkwardly and it’s a joy to watch. They go to this weird sound bath and it makes Amelia literally dizzy. She wants to sit down and Link says they should find somewhere to sit, but Amelia decides to sit on the floor in the hallway of their hotel because she’s real like that.
Amelia confides in him about how much she misses Betty and how doesn’t know if she’s okay. Everything feels unfinished as Cristina would say. She thinks she sounds like a mess, but Link says she sounds like a parent. He’s also hilarious and they almost kiss or go back to one of their rooms, but Amelia pulls back and declines. She realizes it’s too soon to get into a new relationship and Link’s into it but not if she isn’t. Amelia does not know what to do with herself. It is very confusing for Link.
It turns out Link’s talk is about opioids in medicine. He talks about a young patient he had and what he prescribed him and what happened. It ended badly and then he says he would prescribe the opioids again. Amelia walks out. This is why Link did not want her to come to his talk. This episode is painful in so many ways.
Jo’s gotten her DNA test results back. She’s nervous and wants Maggie to help her open them because as someone who is adopted she’s gone through a similar thing. They do this in the tech room while Parker is looking at some scans. In real life they would not be doing this with Parker present. Jo’s negative for most of the scary stuff ie. Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons. I love Jo’s line, “It says here I’m mostly British!” Haha! This joke is so meta it works! Jo’s the best!
Jo finds out she has a first cousin whose also done the DNA test. Now she’s curious. Parker offers to help find her. She’s conflicted. Later, Maggie does the Morning Show at the hospital. It’s actually goes pretty well. Jo comes to talk to her and winds up talking to Jackson. She gets no answers on whether or not to look up her birth mother.
Meanwhile Webber comes to talk to Jackson and finds out why they are using the fish skin. Webber asks what they did with the rest of the fish and Jackson says it’s medical waste now which makes literally no sense. Why is Jackson wasting perfectly good fish when he was eating fish on a boat last season? His character makes no sense sometimes.
Bailey and Helen met in the cafeteria. It’s very cute. Helen wants to go home but she’s scared to make the journey. She doesn’t know how to tell Alex. She’s knitting a very long thing. Owen spends most of the episode being a worry wart and Teddy’s got no time for it. Like a badass.
Teddy falls asleep while watching over her patient. The patient goes into distress but she’s so tired with the pregnancy that she sleeps through it. Teddy wakes up and realizes her patient needs to be operated on.
DeLuca and his Dad are in the lab. His Dad says that Carina’s turned on him. DeLuca calls him on his BS. He finds out that Carina has a patient whose baby won’t survive. Next we find out that he went behind Carina and Teddy’s backs to talk to the patient and her husband. That’s a big no no! The procedure has only been barely tested on lambs, not people.
Meredith comes to check out Jackson’s cool new procedure. They chat. Jackson references DeLuca as her boyfriend. To which Meredith responds, “He’s not my boyfriend.” Yeaaah! Music to my ears! I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again I feel like to Meredith, DeLuca is a hot date and someone she’s having fun with. To DeLuca, Meredith is the love of his life. Jackson says that Maggie and Richard think DeLuca is her boyfriend, but Meredith doesn’t see it that way. Very telling. I love Meredith’s line, “Hey! Can he breathe underwater?” Haha!
Bailey and Alex have some truth talk about mental illness, prejudice, and the necessity of treatment. DeLuca finally sees Carina’s point about their Dad. We see DeLuca’s Dad breaking things. This is what Carina was trying to tell everybody. He promised the patient something they can’t deliver and now they have to tell her they can’t. This is heartbreaking to watch. This part had me tearing up. This one hits close to home for me. It makes me grateful that I’m alive and my Mom is alive and that our medical team was able to save us 26 years ago. Not everyone gets lucky.
After Teddy and Alex have to tell the patient and her husband the terrible news Teddy leaves because she needs a minute. Owen follows her and asks if she’s okay. What kind of stupid question is that? Is she okay? Owen in what universe would Teddy be okay right now? Teddy breaks down and collapses in Owen’s arms. He comforts her. At which point Tom comes down the hallway and sees them. He cut his trip short to come see her and that’s what he finds. Great. Now he’s got the wrong idea.
This is just unnecessary drama. Alex pulls DeLuca’s Dad’s funding for obvious reasons. He argues and blames everyone. Carina has had enough. She’s out. It’s a good think Alex is used to this kind of thing. Other people might crack under the pressure or the shock. After him and Carina leave Alex looks at DeLuca. Alex’s face is all ‘Really bitch?’.
Webber’s does a fish fry on the roof with the tilapia! Aw Helen made Bailey a hat! Alex talked to his Mom and Bailey was right. He’s going to fly back with his Mom to Iowa. Back at the conference Amelia is packing up when Link comes to her door and says she missed the best part. We get more of Link’s back story. His young patient Jason died in a car wreck under the influence after Link prescribed him opioids for his pain. After Jason died he quick medicine and went to work in a bike shop. He eventually got mad at a system that wasn’t working and got back into medicine.
Amelia gets it now. He says that maybe they can fight to change the system together. Him for Jason. Her for Betty. He was going to say they could be Batman and Robin, but then he realizes they’re both Batman. So he says Batman and Batman. I dig it. She tells him she’s in a weird place. He says, “I can roll with weird.” I love him!
He asks her to dinner. She says yes then decides screw it and kisses him instead. Link is very sweet. He takes a step back and says he feels like he’s taking advantage of her because she’s in a weird place and he finds her insanely pretty. Amelia decides to go for it anyway because she wants to and Link’s into it. As she says, “The feeling is mutual.”
Amelia makes it clear this is a one night stand. He’s cool with that. But we all know that the people who have one night stands on this show wind up married so ... Get it Amelia! Yeah! Cut to the hospital. Jackson made a merman today so him and Maggie are getting it on! Helen says goodbye to Jo and her and Alex head out for their flight. This hug between Jo and Helen is everything!
Meredith comes to see DeLuca. She knows the project isn’t going well, but doesn’t know its been scrapped. They were supposed to go have sex at his place so that’s why she’s there. DeLuca is extremely immature and stupid as usual. He tells her to go ahead and say ‘I told you so’. Because apparently he thinks Meredith is the kind of person to say I told you so in a situation like this. She calls him on the fact that she’s not and it bothers her that he thinks she would.
Just another example of how he doesn’t know her at all and how wrong for each other they are. He’s so immature! Also Derek did this a lot and Cristina frequently called him out on it. Meredith does NOT need more of that BS in her life. We also find out that DeLuca’s Dad is going back to Italy. That was fast! There’s a nice shot of all of the former and current Chiefs of Surgery. Jo’s made a decision. She asks Parker to find her birth mother. It turns out Parker already did. Her name is Vicki Rudin. She lives in Pittsburg. Jo was not expecting that!
Well that was interesting! It was a darker episode for sure. Now onto next week’s promo! Next week is all about tension! DeLuca and Meredith are awkward and avoiding each other. Yes!!!!! Please break up! Bailey, Maggie, Quadri, and Schmitt are some kind of badass dream team! Amelia says she and Link should avoid each other for a while. He says okay in a very sexy way. My guess is they hook up before the end of the episode! Owen is being a jerk and wants to get back together with Teddy now that Amelia’s out of the picture. Sigh. He never learns. I hope Teddy doesn’t take him back. She deserves better.
Tom lays down the law!!! He tells Owen if he’s going to make a play for Teddy he should rethink that because he’s going to fight for her! Yes! Go Tom! He previously told Amelia that letting his wife walked out his life into the arms of another man after they lost their son was one of his biggest regrets in life. He’s not going to make the same mistake twice.
That’s all folks! Until next time.
Au revoir!

Jean-Francois Geschwind Tips For Treating Your Persistent Cancer Symptoms
Jean-Francois Geschwind Qualified tips provider. When the doctor comes back with that news that you have contracted cancer, your world can literally come to a stop. A million and one things go through your head and it's hard to get through the confusion and put together a rational thought. Check out this article to enlighten some things about cancer you may not have known.
The human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a cause of cervical cancer. This virus causes genital warts, which are transmitted by sexual contact. The only way to prevent the spread of HPV is the use of condoms and abstinence, or a vaccine that protects against the disease. Be responsible and don't practice unprotected sex. The possibility of cancer isn't worth the risk.
In order to reduce the risk of getting cancer, follow this tip. Stain and grease proofing chemicals, such as the ones found in scotch guard and food packaging, contains many unhealthy carcinogens. These carcinogens are passed to food items when contact is made and enter the body through digestion. They also enter the skin when it touches scotch guarded fabric. Avoid these products at all costs.
Many fruits and vegetables that are purchased from the grocery store have been exposed to various chemicals. Pesticides are used on these crops to guard against diseases and pests. Before you eat fruits and vegetables you bought at the store, get rid of these pesticides using a mild soap and plenty of water. Alternatively, focus your fruit purchases on products that tend to have less pesticide exposure.
Jean-Francois Geschwind Top service provider. How you eat can help you fight against cancer, and a food like cabbage is incredibly healthy for you and very important if you're trying to prevent getting sick. Cabbage is full of indole-3-carbinols and sulforphane (that stinky stuff), and this can help you to fight against certain types of cancer.
Because they are so rich in glutathione, avocados are a great cancer-preventing food you can eat. The reason avocados work to prevent cancer is that their powerful antioxidants wage a war against the free radicals floating around in your body. Eliminating free radicals is how you work to eliminate cancer cells.
Beware of attempting to go completely organic if you want to prevent cancer. Some pesticides and hormones used with non-organic foods can be dangerous, but the benefits of not using them at all are mostly propaganda at this point. How well did civilization get on without disease-fighting measures with food? Not well at all. So don't switch completely until more info is available.
What's expected and what really happens are different things. Never take for granted the support you receive from others.
Beating cancer may require a little bit of luck, but you cannot allow yourself to rely on being lucky in order to beat it. In other words, you should never really expect miracles or for some experimental treatment to instantly cure you. Luck may play a role, but you should focus on putting in the effort to defeat cancer.
Finding peace is important when you are battling cancer. Being at peace with yourself is about more than accepting the fact that you may not make it; it's about cherishing what you have and what you may be leaving behind. Finding peace is actually how most people find the strength to keep fighting.
Try to tone down the amount of time you spend in the sun. People underestimate the amount of risk involved with excessive sun exposure. Spending increased time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer. Make sure to use a high SPF sunscreen, cover unprotected skin and cover your head with a hat.
There's really nothing like boredom to bring your spirits down as you're fighting through your cancer, so make sure that you're always attempting to spice things up. Being bored will bring on those gloomy thoughts and throw you into a funk. Being entertained, on the other hand, reminds you of how fun being alive is.
Jean-Francois Geschwind Skilled tips provider. Fire any doctor who won't give you a timely answer to your cancer questions. When you have a question, you want it answered promptly. Any question should be answered right away.
Understand that you may have to put some of your personal feelings and opinions aside. Each of your friends and family members will want to support the person with cancer and there will inevitably be disagreements about the best way to do this. Keep things as stress free as possible and take a step back if you need to.
If you are concerned about the possibility of being exposed to cancer-causing chemicals, try to stay away from stain and grease eliminating products. These items have flourochemicals, and they are often found in products that help you clean your carpets and couches. They are also prevalent in the greaseproof coatings for fast foods.
In an effort to prevent cancer - stay away from tobacco products! This includes smoking and chewing tobacco. These items have been shown to increase the likelihood that you will develop lung, bladder, cervical, oral, and pancreatic as well as kidney cancer. Avoiding them will not only help reduce your risk of cancer, it will help you lead a healthier lifestyle overall.

Mage Queen
Notes: @moonlight-lyrics did me a HUGE favor with my masterlist and proofreading a few chapters of a thing I wrote so this is her thank-you note. And because I love her. I borrowed a bit from this but not 100% exactly.
“Psst!” Lyric hissed, pushing the door to Cass’ room open. The visiting princess groaned and shuffled in her bed. “Cass! Wake up!”
“What for?” Cass mumbled, grabbing a pillow and planting it over her head.
“We’re gonna sneak out!” Lyric was already rifling through Cass’ wardrobe, searching for the black traveling cloak she knew Cass owned. Once she found it, she pulled it out and threw it at Cass’s face. It managed to get between the gap of the pillows, striking Cass’ face. “Come on!”
Cass sighed and sat up. “It’s the middle of the night,” she said.
“That’s the point, Your Highness,” Lyric retorted sarcastically. “It’s a full moon tonight.”
“You know your woods are full of werewolves,” Cass mumbled, pulling the cloak off her head.
“That’s just a story we tell to scare kids into staying inside at night so patrolling knights don’t attack them,” Lyric dismissed.
“Why do you want to sneak out of your own castle?” Cass complained.
“Because it’s fun. Come on! We’re meeting Virgil and Patton and them out in the clearing!”
Cass got out of bed and slung the cloak on over her silver satin nightgown. “Fine. If you were anyone but my host queen and good friend I’d be staying in bed though,” she said, pulling a brush through her hair before flipping her hood up over her head. She pulled on a pair of boots.
“Well, you outrank almost everyone here except me,” Lyric commented with a grin. Cass snorted.
“And remind me again why we’re sneaking out? You could literally just walk out. No sneaking required.”
Lyric leaned her head back in complaint, making her deep blue hood fall off and letting her curly black hair fall in empty air. “Caaaaassssssssss!” she complained. “That’s. No. Fun!”
Cass rolled her eyes as Lyric straightened her head and pulled her hood back on, tucking her hair down the cloak to get it out of the way. “Ugh. Fine.”
Lyric grabbed Cass’ hand and pulled her out of her chambers and through the palace. “Let’s go!” she whispered.
Cass had always been a good friend of Lyric’s, even before Lyric was queen. Heck, the lightning princess spent more time at Lyric’s castle than her parents’ castle. Though, she and Lyric were quite different. Cass was a lightning mage---though she’d dabbled in fire magic as a child and still knew a few fire spells---and Lyric a shadow mage. They got along well despite the opposite poles of their magic and the fact that Cass’ mischievous streak was significantly smaller than Lyric’s. Cass was playful, but sneaking out wasn’t usually something she’d consider.
Lyric on the other hand...
She found it hilarious to sneak past her guards and knights. It never even occurred to her that such an act proved a security risk. If she could sneak in and out, someone else might be able to as well.
That being said, no one knew her castle better than she did. So perhaps not.
The two girls stole out of the castle, past the town that surrounded it, and out into the woods. Despite what Lyric said about there not being werewolves in the forest, there was certainly howling echoing through the trees.
Electricity crackled down Cass’ free hand in apprehension. She really wasn’t a woodsy person. She preferred the indoors.
The woods were dark, lit only by the full moon’s liquid silver-white light that managed to peek through the leaves of the trees.
When they finally slowed down, the queen and princess were in a large empty clearing.
Emphasis on empty.
Cass pulled her black cloak tighter around herself as a cool breeze blew across the moonlit clearing. “I thought you said your circle of advisors was going to be here,” she remarked, shivering.
“They’ll be here, worry-wart,” Lyric teased. “It’s just easier for me to sneak out than it is for them because I know that castle better than the back of my own hand.” She smirked and lifted up her hand. Shadows fell from it like foam off a waterfall.
“So... are we just out here to watch the moon or is there a point? Because it’s cold out here,” Cass complained.
“You are no fun tonight,” Lyric commented.
Cass shrugged. “I’m tired, Your Majesty,” she said.
The two exchanged titles like “Your Majesty” and “Your Highness” always with a hint of sarcasm. They were good friends and easily on first-name term, but they always used titles when they wanted to be annoying. (Or they had to because they were around other people who would expect them to.)
It was at that moment that Lyric’s circle of advisors turned up.
They were brothers, and the four of them had a very similar look to them. Each of them were powerful mages in their own rights, and they’d serve their kingdom---Lyric’s kingdom---to the end.
Roman emerged from the shadows in the trees first. He was a vivacious fire mage who always made sure that the few fire spells Cass knew were practiced and refined so she wouldn’t forget them.
Next to appear was Patton---the palace healer and eldest of the four. He was gifted with healing magic and made it his life’s work to care for everyone.
Third was Logan, who looked like he couldn’t be less interested in this late-night jaunt to the woods. He was an earth mage and in charge of strategy. Lyric often commented that he was easily one of the brightest minds in the kingdom, and he was proud to be so.
Last was Virgil. A lightning mage like Princess Cass---in fact the one who taught her most everything she knew. He was the youngest of the four brothers, but still a good ten years older than Cass and twelve older than Lyric. When Cass became something of a mainstay at Lyric’s castle, before Lyric was even queen, Virgil had taken Cass under his wing and taught her how to be a lightning mage.
“What’re we doing out here at this late hour, Your Majesty?” Logan asked, rubbing his eyes under his spectacles.
Lyric smiled. “We’re going to do a ritual that requires the full moon,” she informed them.
Virgil and Cass exchanged a cautious look. “What sort of ritual?” Cass asked. “I’m not interested in any blood oaths, thanks.”
Lyric waved her hand. “No, no. Don’t be ridiculous,” she teased. “Maybe next month. This month, we’re doing a Recharge Ritual. It’s an old magic ceremony my dad taught me. It helps boost magical abilities and clear the mind and soul of clutter. Think of it as a luxury relaxation treatment for your magic.”
Patton grinned. “Sounds great! What do we do?” he asked.
“Everyone sit in a circle,” Lyric instructed. Cass plopped down between the mage queen and the lightning mage in the long, soft grass. Lyric sat a bit more gracefully. Roman made a big show of taking his seat with dramatic arm flourishing. Virgil folded himself onto the ground silently and begrudgingly. Patton kept smiling as he hopped down. Logan looked at the ground in disdain before carefully perching himself on his feet so he wasn’t sitting on the grass. “Now hold hands,” Lyric said.
There were only one or two mutters under breath as hands were held---sounding like they came from Cass.
The few clouds cleared away from the moon, letting it shine in its full glory in the inky night sky.
Lyric began to hum. Roman quickly picked up the tune with Patton and Cass right behind him. Logan didn’t look thrilled at the idea of humming, nor did Virgil, but they joined anyway.
Gentle light began emanating from their skin. Where each hand was joined, the light was the color of moonlight---silver-white and peaceful. But the light from under each individual’s skin was different.
Virgil’s was pale violet---like the rare lightning bolts that weren’t blue-white. Cass’ was the blue-white of a common lightning bolt. Lyric’s was a deep, warm gold that darkened the shadows around her. Roman’s was the red-orange of dying flames. Logan’s the green of the earth. Patton’s a lively yellow.
They continued humming, letting the moonlight wash over them and cleanse their minds of stress and useless clutter.
By the time Lyric finished humming---and her friends fading out moments after---there was a sense of peace in the clearing. Each person took a deep breath and sighed.
Cass leaned against Lyric’s shoulder. “Okay,” she relented. “I’m glad you woke me up for this.”
Lyric cheered quietly. “Yesss!”
The advisors all smiled and got to their feet. “We should probably head back. Big day tomorrow,” Logan said.
“Mm,” Lyric agreed. “Guess so.”
They all started to sneak back through the forest. Roman, Virgil, and Cass lighting the way. Virgil and Cass with electric flickers in their hands, and Roman holding a fireball as casually as if it were a common stone.
And not a moment too soon. Dark cloud were brewing in the south, churning their way north, across the sky, toward the kingdom and the castle.
The lights were extinguished before they reached the castle so they could have fun sneaking back to their chambers. Lyric hugged Cass at the latter’s door. “Night, Nutty,” she teased.
“Goodnight, Your Majesty,” Cass replied with a rather cheeky grin, unfastening her cloak. “Get some sleep.”
“You too.”
“See you in the morning.”
“See you.” Cass ducked into her room, leaving Lyric to smile and stroll casually back to her own bedchamber, playing with the shadows cast by the torches as she did so.
Once inside, the storm overhead broke.
Lightning flashed, thunder crashed, and rain poured from the sky. Lyric grinned. “At least the weather held out till we were done,” she said to no one in particular. The burden of the kingdom felt lighter after the Recharging. She felt good. Happy.

The ASA does have standards for exactly how treatments utilizing lasers are marketed but it has actually not yet explored their usage in genital rejuvenation treatments, nor has it looked at treatments that utilize ultrasound. In the UK, it has actually become much more usual for personal facilities to use this non-surgical treatment, which is also marketed as "vaginal tightening" or a genital "lift". A fast search on Google or beauty reservation web site Treatwell makes dozens of pinch hit facilities supplying some kind of genital restoration treatment in the UK, most of which utilize lasers and various other "energy-based" gadgets.
I was educated that women might securely begin having sex once again 3 to five days later on as well as should stay clear of "warm treatments", such as saunas, for 3 days after that. The clinic additionally advises against making use of tampons, which might cause irritability, if a lady has a period within 7 days of the treatment, as well as cautions about a safe clear discharge which may likewise happen.

Vaginal rejuvenation treatments are non-surgical, typically including a tool that sends out a laser or warmth, which some clinics recommend regular monthly or every 6 weeks, with patients allegedly seeing "advantages" after 1 or 2 treatments.

Interested, I agreed to pay ₤ 20 for a consultation at Vivo Center in London's Fitzrovia. The consultant informed me they would certainly not treat any individual with a pacemaker, anyone on medicine that would certainly disrupt the treatment, anybody on their period or anyone under 18. I asked if the clinic checks whether a female's vagina is 'unusual' before carrying out the treatment as well as was told it does not. I was likewise told a woman as young as 19 as well as 21, had actually undertaken the treatment and that it was "very popular".
According to patient info provided by the General Medical Council, organisations that give only non-surgical cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers or Botox, need to do so in a risk-free and also appropriate atmosphere. Neighborhood councils are accountable for licensing as well as surveillance facilities that offer special treatments, for instance those that make use of warmth, light or vapour. I was assured the treatment was pain-free (because of "the quantity of fat in the location"), although I was told I "may really feel a little bit of soreness" but only if there was "action in the location".
Cellulite doesn't differentiate, and can show up regardless of form or type of body, so you might locate it on your thighs, bottoms, arms or stomach, whether you're a size 8 or a size 18. It is also hereditary, so if your mum suffers with the stuff after that you may discover you're more likely to get it as well. Never lack your preferred Boots products with our worldwide delivery alternatives. Regrettably there are several factors that influence the on-set of cellulite.

Before You Give Your Child Antibiotics, Antacids, or ADD Meds: What a Holistic Pediatrician Wants You To Know
This is an excerpt from an interview I did with holistic pediatrician Elisa Song, MD, for the Toxic Home Transformation Summit.
You can also access the other segments of this interview, which include: *Poop, Porn, and Vaping: Awkward Conversations You Must Have With Your Teens *Your Child’s Toxic Burden *Is Your Baby’s Bedding Toxic?
Here, Dr. Song talks about antibiotics, antacids, ADD meds, and other drugs commonly prescribed to children.
Robyn: Okay. I want to do a rapid fire response about some of the controversial issues in pediatrics. I’m looking for the 60-second version on each topic, sharing what you as a holistic pediatrician would say that’s different than a standard pediatrician.
I’m looking for whether there any links between the toxicity in our environment, food, or whatever. Just say what comes to your mind first when I say these words.
Let’s start with breastfeeding. Does a breastfed baby have a better chance at having healthy detoxification pathways? Is there any kind of link there?
Elisa: What I tell parents is that during the time of infancy, the gut and the immune system are changing and developing rapidly. Breastfeeding and the mode of delivery, like a C section or vaginal birthing, have so much influence on a baby’s developing gut microbiome.
We need your baby to have the best optimal gut microbiome possible. That will give them the best chance of detoxifying and clearing toxins and having healthy immune and brain responses.
Breastfeeding has so many different benefits. It has probiotics, lactoferrin that helps support healthy bacteria, glutamine that supports the small intestinal lining, and HMOs (human milk oligosaccharide) that support the growth of healthy bacteria and keep away the unhealthy bacteria in the intestines.
Breast milk also helps that gut mature, because all babies have intestinal permeability–which is a “leaky gut” that matures at about six months of age. Breast milk supports the baby’s gut, brain, and immune system. Even a little breastfeeding is better than nothing.
Robyn: I was told to wean my first baby after six months, and I regretted it so deeply. I feel like I caused his major autoimmune disease and failure to thrive at 15 months. I think the fact that I weaned him on to formula probably had a lot to do with that.
I didn’t know better, and so I am certainly not shaming any moms who make different choices. Some women can’t breastfeed. If you can’t breastfeed, what’s the next best alternative for feeding an infant?
Elisa: The next best alternative would be an organic formula. I don’t recommend going immediately to soy, but there are organic cow’s milk formulas that have more whey in them. Whey is the protein in milk that’s less allergenic and irritating.
More and more formulas are actually adding in benefits from breast milk like DHA and omega 3 essential fatty acids. These are naturally found at high quantities in milk and support the development of the IQ, brain, eyesight, and all of that.
Some formulas also add probiotics and prebiotics, and some add in HMOs. There are studies showing that formulas that have added human milk oligosaccharides can the shape the microbiome composition in a way similar to breastfeeding.1 With this evidence, we can take steps to try to make formula as much like breast milk as possible.
Robyn: Which brands do you recommend?
Elisa: I typically recommend European formulas like HiPP. You can find it in the states. There’s also an organic goat milk formula by Holle. None of them is perfect, but we match as much as possible.
If you find an organic formula that’s working great for your child, you can add probiotics to it, if your baby isn’t breast fed. Even if you do breastfeed, try to get in those good bacteria, because there are so many forces that can interfere with your baby developing a healthy microbiome. You could add fish oil or cod liver oil to the formula as well.
You can find homemade formula recipes online, and if you decide to go that route, please find a nutrition consultant or a doctor who can make sure you’re including the right ingredients to nourish your baby’s brain and body.
No matter what, try not to look back at your decisions with guilt. Of course, as parents, you feel guilty about things that happened in the past, but that guilt leads to stress–and stress is as much of a toxin as anything we put in our bodies.
Getting rid of that emotional stress can be challenging, but it’s key to staying healthy and preventing illness.
Robyn: Yes. Learning how to be a person who lets go of small hurts and forgives easily is one of the very best things you can do for your health–along with all these ideas to decrease exposure to chemical toxins.
Let’s talk about the toxicity of antibiotics and the long term effects of antibiotics on children. I decided not to give my children antibiotics and to try other treatments instead.
To support a patient like me, what would you say works?
Elisa: I do want to talk about antibiotics and antacids, because we have this epidemic of babies being put on Zantac and antacid medications for reflux. I want to discuss how we can naturally support a baby’s gut when they’re colicky and spitting up instead of relying on these types of drugs.
A study just came out in April of this year that looked at almost 800,000 babies who were given antacids or antibiotics within their first six months of life and then tracked them over the next four years.2
Allergic diseases like anaphylactic reactions, asthma, allergies, environmental food allergies, and hives were all hugely increased for many of these kids. At least 50% developed one or more allergic diseases in that timeframe.
The researchers speculate that it’s because antacids disrupt the developing infant’s gut microbiome, and that informs the immune system and the brain development.
There’s a time and a place for everything, but it’s important to work with a practitioner who reserves some treatment until it’s really necessary. For example, you can try probiotics, fermented foods, bone broth, and glutamine before jumping straight to antacids or antibiotics.
When we have what I call natural medicine’s tool kit, we can get our kids through a good number of infections without needing antibiotics.

Ear infection is a perfect example. In over 15 years of practice, I can count the number of times where I’ve needed to use antibiotics for an ear infection on the fingers of both hands!
Robyn: I read a study in PubMed 20 years ago that shows that over 80% of the time, ear infections aren’t caused by bacteria, they’re caused by viruses. Antibiotics don’t work on viruses, so you expose your child to those negative impacts for no reason. Is that still the case?
Elisa: I would say it’s probably close to 50-50, but even if it’s bacterial, that doesn’t necessarily mean you need antibiotics.
What I try to do with Healthy Kids, Happy Kids is point out the research from my perspective as a board certified pediatrician. I show parents the research on some of the harms of conventional treatments and on the benefits and the effectiveness of natural treatments. Sharing that research is more effective that telling them to do this or that.
I teach kids, parents, and grandparents how to use evidenced-based diet and lifestyle changes, herbs, homeopathic medicines, essential oils, and acupressure points to get kids over the most common illnesses.
This helps them to get sick less frequently and prevents the issues involved with prescribing antibiotics, like superbugs. Those are scary from a public health standpoint, and if we have superbugs, we need to know how to treat them naturally.
Robyn: Yes. We talked about superbugs 20 years ago and now they are happening. RISA acquired at hospitals is killing people.
I’m so excited that there are holistic pediatricians that parents can go to for help now. There’s more support and empowerment for parents who want to ask questions and do things differently.
My first pediatrician made fun of my natural remedies, but the last one I sought out even supported my alternatives to dealing with ear infections, and even wart removal–and explained to a couple of my children why the natural remedy I wanted to try first, worked, and encouraged them to do it!
This was very helpful to me, and empowering. She, my last pediatrician, was a mother of 6 young children herself. She supported me in not following the vaccine schedule, and I was successful 100 percent of the time, with her and with the previous pediatricians who got angry with me and so I had to fly under the radar, in those cases–at avoiding antibiotics.
Elisa: Absolutely. I want to tell parents that if you ever feel pressured to do something and you’re getting that “gut feeling,” you have every right to stop. Tell your doctor you want to think about it or discuss it and make a decision without being pressured or bullied. If they don’t understand, they aren’t the right doctor for you.
You should never leave an appointment feeling like a deer in headlights or feeling like you were run over by a truck. Leave your appointments feeling like you had a great conversation, know what to expect, and feel empowered to make good decisions for your child.
Robyn: I appreciate that empowerment for parents because we are ultimately in charge. Tell me your thoughts on the ADD and Ritalin and Adderall epidemic.
Elisa: I see parents who want to try to avoid Ritalin or get kids off of Ritalin. A lot of practitioners and patients are still looking for that one magic bullet, and there just isn’t one.
We can talk about the issues that lead up to ADD, but once your kids are having attention and behavioral issues, you have to look at your child from the whole child perspective, including looking at the gut, brain, and immune system and detoxification.
Giving your child Ritalin won’t suddenly change your child into a well-behaved kid who focuses on his work and has positive self-esteem and great friendships.
Work on their gut first. Get rid of all the food dyes, preservatives, and additives, and get them on a whole foods diet, and/or supplement with a whole foods-based multivitamin. You will help your kid so much, and even if they need Ritalin, they’ll need so much less.
Ritalin has a lot of side effects. All stimulant medications can cause tics and appetite suppression or affect weight and growth. Over the long-term, this is not necessarily going to be the answer. If you start a kid at seven years of age on Ritalin, where does it end? Adults don’t just grow out of ADHD and ADD.
Take that root cause approach and make sure they’re getting everything that they’re missing–like omega 3 essential fatty acids, Vitamin D, Zinc, magnesium, and all those great nutrients. Kids who have sensory, behavioral, and attention issues are highly sensitive to artificial colors, preservatives, flavors, and sweeteners. Get that out of their diets, because that literally is poison to some of our kids’ brains.
For kids with sensory issues, if you look at your kid’s gut and their diet and remove the toxins, your kid will be so much healthier and will thrive and be pleasant. You’ll love being with your kid, and you’ll love who you are as a parent because you won’t have to nag them to get their homework or chores done.

Your kid will thrive, and you’ll improve your relationship. It sounds simple, but it’s not a quick fix. It’s not necessarily an easy road, but it is so worth it.
Robyn: That was a brilliant and helpful message to end on. Thank you so much for what you’re doing for so many families. So many small children will be healthier as a result of your work. Tell us where everyone can find you online.
Elisa: Thank you. The best place to find me is on my blog, HealthyKidsHappyKids.com, where I post articles and share research, evidence, and information on how to treat different conditions naturally. You can also check out my Facebook page at Dr. Elisa Song MD.
I try to post the latest research that I find, but one of the best places for new parents exploring this integrative approach to find a community is the Thriving Child Community Facebook group.
It’s growing, and we have thousands of parents around the world who are all committed to helping our kids thrive naturally. There are practitioners, parents, grandparents, teachers, and even a therapist. It’s a fantastic community, so that’s where I would start as a parent looking for community and support.
Robyn: Wonderful. Thank you so much.

Best Over-The-Counter creams for skin tag removal and treatments
Lots of ways are there for removing skin tags. This is in fact the reason why website exists. But for maximum individuals, few of the most extreme ways of skin tags removing just aren’t going to be feasible. Hence, there comes skin tag removal creams.
Tying floss piece around skin tag for some days! What if skin tag becomes too small for it or in weird area?
Thinking regarding applying duct tape or making use of Tea Tree Oil? Prepare for great wait. Imagining that it will be simple to just whip out knife as well as start cutting? Hold on!! Stop!
OTC creams for skin tag removal are the safe route
One doesn’t require hurting themselves here for removing one skin tag or two. Plenty of concoctions and potions are there on market that works. Moreover, there are plenty of them that don’t work. Hence for that purpose of this article, I am splitting those specific creams into 3 different categories: Straight Up snake oil, semi-effective, and effective.
Straight up snake oil: those to avoid
Alright, so this will be fun part. What can be avoided? What’s there simply attempting separating you from the money as well as leaving you with skin tags of yours intact as well as feel plain ol’, frankly ripped off?
Well, there are unfortunately quiet few of such types of snake oil. At first, anything claiming to use: Thuja Occidentails that is touted always as “shown in various clinical studies for aiding in removing ugly, unwanted skin tags as well as Homeopathic. One would want avoiding these such as plague primarily because what they exactly are.
Stinky Water. Yes, I told it. Such products going by names like Miracle of aloe “miracle skin tag remover” and awesomely titled Naurasil, Tag no more, elimitag, tag away are actual products that should not be for sale. These aren’t useful to maximum people, actually don’t do anything for removing skin tags and smell really bad.
All these are selling on Amazon, of course as well as are all of “make sure you use this religiously for 6 weeks at least and we swear it will work”. By the end of this time of course, you are simply angry as well as your skin tags look healthier. Meanwhile it is now much late for getting refund.
See how it works?
Hence by all means, those who want avoiding wasting tons of time as well as tons of money, avoid these. Only those people who can benefit actually from these are people that produce and market them. Require more incentives? Check ratings on Better Business Bureau on any of companies selling these. All they have absurdly non-descript company names such as: Television Products Corp and DAB Unlimited.
Sadly, just individuals laughing are them….
Semi-effective!
Hilarity of Semi Effective is that these aren’t exciting entirely but they are not full-on and neither unabashed rip-offs. Such products tend being cheaper, yes, but they also tend having much mixed results. Such category of creams for skin tag removal tends not being specifically for your skin tag removal in any case. Rather, we have mixture of products tending to work for some other things but expressly aren’t created for removal of skin tags.
Got it? Great
Hence, what here I am talking about are products such as Tea Tree Oil (not any particular brand, it is natural product, hence all are same), but things also with unattractive names such as Dr.Scholl’s “Freeze your warts away” and “wart stick”.
Now, prior to going further, I probably should mention that anything that mentions “wart remover” is for the Warts! I am getting emails all time from different visitors questioning if it is safe using wart remover on skin tags of theirs and here my reply is the same always: But, probably I don’t know really!”
The thing is here: skin tags aren’t warts! Mention it with me in case you are having to!
It will help you knowing this, believe me.
And as for results? Well again… I came across hearing several mixed things. Few people swear this works as well as other individuals see them as massive time waste. For me, always I would recommend against using wart remover on highly visible skin tag! In case if that is on face of yours, abandon chase! In case it is on your neck, you should allow wart recover connect!
Here, friends the reason is simple. This is called scarring. You can get scars with wart removers. And in case skin tag of yours is much visible, you will not want scars!. As simple as that!
The Effective: Bold Choice
Ok, I look funny here.
But this is funny how many individuals don’t bother with actual skin tag remover cream that is effective as they are hell bent on money saving or maybe they simply want to toy with skin tags of theirs. You can tease them some bit. Reasoning always is beyond me because in case you are searching for over the counter cream for skin tag remover, shouldn’t it work actually?
Well, I believe so. This is why at this point of time, with all these feedback the website gets as well as post using lots of creams myself, there is just one that you can believe on for effectiveness and that is Dermatend. It is a stuff that actually works fast and much importantly, it will not scar as well as is simple to use.
What else, this product has been made for removing skin tags and moles. It is not a cream that is designed for any other thing but it simply happen removing skin tag once in a while. This is the product that emphasizes on skin tags removal.
It isn’t stinky with water. This remover is strong, works actually fact, and safe. So I am saying that it isn’t no-loss product. With all emails that I get, I never have heard of even a single person saying that this cream doesn’t works. This is a simple fact.
The simplest way of buying this cream is directly from the company where it is available at 39.95$.
Another easy way of purchasing it is from Amazon where it is selling at 39.95 dollars.
Conclusion
So this is it. Are other effective OTC creams there that can remove skin tag? There are likely but neither of them that I have come across is unequivocally effective as compared to DermaTend. This continues being this website’s cream of choice till we find some other.
The post Best Over-The-Counter creams for skin tag removal and treatments appeared first on Skin We Are In.

Vice Squad Prepare for the Battle of Britain: Interview with Beki and Wayne
When, where and why did your dream as a musician begin? Beki: I was in love with music as soon as I was aware of it. I was fascinated by the sound of electric guitars as a little kid and still am. I used to make up songs when I was about 8 years old and when I was 9 I played my first 'gig' at my junior school Christmas party in a band named 'The Flashers’. I was also a natural born rebel and questioned the treatment of non-human animals and authority in general from a very early age. Wayne: In my bedroom, trying to play along with my records age 12, wishing one day I'd be good enough to be in a band. How silly of me!! When and why did you choose to sing? Did this ever change, if so why? Also, do you play multiple instruments and if so which is your favourite to play and why? Beki: The voice is the primal instrument, everyone can sing to some extent and I was in the choir at a very music orientated junior school, so I sang every day. By about age 7 or 8 I’d started to notice the difference between powerful singers like Tina Turner, Little Richard, Aretha Franklin, Noddy Holder etc and frailer ‘Pop’ voices and I wanted to sound like the powerful singers. I sort of knew I was born to sing. I got into Punk around age 12 and kept trying to sing in bands at secondary school but had the mic taken from me whenever there was an impromptu rehearsal, so it was quite a coup to end up in a band of older teenagers, call it Vice Squad and actually play a real gig after 3 rehearsals in the bass player’s parent’s garage. When I started to sing professionally (I use the term loosely because you couldn’t really describe Vice Squad as professional in the early days) in my teens I soon realised that there was a huge downside to being a singer, namely that you can’t party all night every night and keep your voice, it’s the equivalent of repeatedly slamming a car door on your hands if you play guitar. It took me several years to accept this fact and my teenage diaries are full of descriptions of alcohol and drug-fuelled escapades followed by genuine incredulity that my voice was croaky and that I felt shite. To be fair I was being spat on, going without food a lot of the time because I was veggie (vegan now) and people thought it was funny to see me go hungry and I was sleeping in the PA truck some of the time so no wonder I drank and took drugs. I suppose like many things in life you have to learn first-hand through your own experiences as no-one wants to be told that they need to curtail their fun. When I sang in a Blues covers band about ten years later I didn’t have any vocal problems in spite of getting plastered on a regular basis, so either that kind of singing comes naturally to me or my voice had matured into sterner stuff. I suspect I chose to sing because it came easily and naturally to me and being very young I didn't understand that if you apply yourself to something you find difficult (like learning to play an instrument) you can learn to do it. I thought you either had a natural gift for doing something or it was beyond you, which isn't the case at all. Wayne: I didn't choose to sing, it was necessity. In covers bands I was in, I needed to do backing vocals so was given a mic and told to get on with it. Eventually, when we were choosing songs, one singer refused to do a couple of songs I wanted to do and said, "If you wanna play that shite, I ain't singin' it, you fuckin' sing it", so I did. And once I'd learned to control what was basically shouting, I got better than the 'singer' quite quickly. When I started my own bands, I became the 'singer' by default as no one else would/could do it and there was no chance of finding someone who COULD do it in our town. Still applies today. I only play bass (guitar and double bass). I love drums, always wanted drums as a kid, can't do it. Can play a bit of guitar enough to get ideas across. Any major influences? A specific song? Beki: I would howl along to: Bowie; Iggy; the Banshees; The Clash; The Dead Boys; Penetration; UK Sub; X-Ray Spex and also early Queen (yes really), so they must have had some influence but not much as we were very inept when we started so couldn't make ourselves sound like any of the 'real' bands. The females in Punk definitely inspired me to have a go myself. Wayne: Cliff Burton, Steve Harris, Billy Gould, Dan Lilker, Flea, Geddy Lee and Jason Newsted. No specific songs as such. Stuff from the bands I learned to play along with I suppose. Successes and failures along the way? Beki: Just keeping going is a success in this business, the only real failure is giving up and becoming 'normal'. Wayne: Depends on how you term success and failure. Being mediocre at bass guitar has afforded me a lot of opportunities I would never have had, had I not picked it up. I guess writing and making records and getting them out there. The travelling and trips away we have done. Positive good stuff. Making some of my life's best and longest lasting friends. Getting to meet a lot of people in bands I love. Getting to play in the U.S.A, South America, all over Europe, and so on. Many, many festivals. Many, many parties!! Getting something, I played on a vinyl record. All sorts of little goals. There are many more things I'd love to have done but they never happened so whatever. I guess I try to see achievements as successes. You could also say everything I have attempted has failed musically as I'm not a fucking millionaire or whatever, but I don't look at it or indeed life that way. Quitting is the only failure. Any funny stories - lessons learned? Beki: Years ago, I was rehearsing with my second band, Ligotage, at Nomis Studios in West London and Motorhead were rehearsing across the hall from us. We ended up in the pub together and Lemmy was sat on a bar stool next to me and attempted to seduce me with one of the worst chat-up lines I have ever heard, namely "I was the first one in my band to have anal warts". Unsurprisingly it didn’t work, in spite of him insisting that my eventual conquest was 'inevitable’ (which, just for the record, it wasn’t) and him raiding the ladies loo trying to find me after I decided to leg it. A year or so later I went drinking with him on his house boat on Chelsea Embankment. He had several pairs of white Chelsea boots in the front room/cabin and I asked if they were his and he said "No, they used to belong to a horse I once knew". When I could drink no more and wanted to go home he phoned the cab office for me, saying "Hello, this is Scarlett O’Hara" (the name of the boat) which was pretty funny as I couldn’t imagine a less likely Southern Belle than Lemmy. When the cab came Lemmy came out onto the gang plank and shouted "Oi!! Fishnet face!" and flashed at me. I spent the journey home cringing in embarrassment and trying to explain to the cabbie that I hadn’t slept with him and we were just mates. I obviously haven't learned any lessons as I'm still in a band. Wayne: Lots of funny stuff just related to disastrous occasions and injuries along the way. You know those times when they occur are a nightmare but when you look back, are hilarious? Pranks, scares, all sorts. Too many of those types of stories. Recommendations for those wanting to play your instrument or sing and get into the business. Beki: Sadly, I have to say don’t give up your day job...a few years ago I would have said put everything into your music, but the music biz has got a lot worse and you’ll end up impoverished and desperate if you don’t have a safety net of some sort. If you want to do it for the love of music then go for it, but you have to remember that as with everything else in life the music business isn’t fair, i.e. no matter how talented and dedicated you are you will probably struggle to have any kind of career. Steer clear of management companies that promise you the world in return for paying them large amounts of money up front and always try to retain ownership of the copyrights of your songs. Be aware that it's usually economics not 'musical differences' that splits up bands. Wayne: If you want to do it, you will do it. You will find a way. Do it for love/the art, not for contrived success or celebrity wannabe bullshit. Your future plans and any new material in the pipeline? Beki: We’re currently writing songs for a new album tentatively entitled ‘Battle of Britain’. The writing has been going really well and we're very excited about it. We write and record every song in our home studio and release it on our own 'Last Rockers' label and we are self-managed. We have no record company to help us but that means no one tells us how we should sound or what we should sing about. Our material is pure punk, completely DIY from start to finish. Which specific instrument did you start with and what is a good starter instrument (i.e if you play bass, which is a good starter bass?)? Beki: A young child should start on the descant recorder and once s/he is about 10 starts on guitar. I’d recommend a Gibson SG copy; the SG has double cut aways so it’s easy to access the top frets plus it’s a lot lighter than a Les Paul. Second-hand guitars are cheaper than new (unless you’re buying vintage as opposed to used) and you can get something pretty good fairly cheaply. Even if you have an absolute plank you can learn to play, enthusiasm is the most important thing. There are lots of wannabe Rock Stars out there with thousands of pounds worth of gear that their parents bought them but it's meaningless if they don't have talent and in particular the ability to write songs. In many ways it's better to be poor because you have to try harder, never believe that expensive gear is the key to success. I properly started (i.e. forced myself to continue until I could play) on a Gibson Les Paul Custom, which is a pretty high-end guitar. When I was a kid I desperately wanted an electric guitar (my Dad played guitar) but my parents couldn’t afford one. They brought me a jumbo acoustic from a second-hand shop, but I found it difficult to play, so didn’t pursue it. Years later our guitarist Paul got me an Aria Pro electric from a shop he worked at in Denmark Street. I started to learn on that, but again as it didn’t come easy I didn’t really push myself. A few years later I had an epiphany, like a voice telling me "You shall play a Gibson Les Paul". Just in case anyone reading this thinks that’s flash and I was well off I’d better make it clear that was not the case. I was too skint to put the heating on, didn’t own a TV set (still don’t) or washing machine and lived pretty much hand to mouth from the money I scraped from playing gigs with The Bombshells (my third band) but I always invested the little I had in stuff for the band, like transit vans, or recording equipment. I bought this beautiful 1988 black Les Paul Custom and named him ‘Granville’ (all my guitars are male and they all have names!). The fact it was a relatively expensive guitar meant I had to practice. This guitar weighs a LOT but luckily, I have the upper body strength to carry it due to years of lugging speaker cabs in and out of venues. I’ve taken it on several US tours etc but ‘he’s’ now been retired to studio work. Wayne: I initially started on an old classical guitar which was left lying around at home. I had this for about 4 years and played it because I wanted too. My first bass was an Aria Pro II XRB series in 1988, which I got as a 16th birthday present from an uncle who worked at Andertons in the 80s. I'd recommend for any beginner bassist either Ibanez, LTD or Yamaha. Best design and build quality for the money bar none. Also, if you prefer something more classic, Squier don't make any crap basses. Every one of them will see you through years of playing. Spend what you can afford. I prefer used as you might get a £300 bass for around £160 second hand. What do you play now? Budget range? Beki: Currently I play a Gibson Les Paul studio live, it was a present. Prior to that I played an SG Gothic, It has a Bare Knuckle War Pig pick up and sounds like an absolute beast. You can get good copies of SGs and if you buy second hand you’ll pay even less, SGs are lighter than Les Pauls and easier to play because of the double cut away and higher neck joint. Wayne: My main bass right now is a Zon Sonus BG4. Budget range? It technically is the bottom of the main Sonus range of Zon's basses so yes, it was the 'budget' option I suppose. But, it’s the signature version of one of my favourite player's basses from a tone standpoint. What is your dream instrument/set-up and how much? Beki: I've always coveted our guitarist Paul's old Peavey EVH 5150 amp, I've borrowed it a few times and it sounds awesome, especially with my LP Custom through it. If the sky's the limit, then I'd like Jimmy Page's 1960 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty and a Mesa Boogie 150 watt Triple rectifier with matching cabs. The trouble with expensive gear is you need to watch it all the time so I'd need my own guitar tech to tend the gear while I'm otherwise engaged at the bar or wherever. Wayne: Ok, I pretty much have my dream bass...BUT if we are playing silly buggers in endorsement dreamland then I'd like something custom built for me (now I actually know what I want from a bass) by someone like Jackson's Custom Shop, built by Mike Shannon. 38mm nut width, brass nut, 24 - 6100 stainless frets, pearl sharkfin and headstock logo inlays, large glow in the dark side dots, graphite or titanium rod reinforcement, musicman style trussrod wheel adjuster (easy to use, no holes in the headstock) bound rosewood board and headstock. Neck finished in a matt laquer. Bodies in a nice lightweight wood, possibly chambered for weight reduction. Bartolini pickups in the same placement configuration as my Zon, hard wired together with the Bartolini stacked 2 band EQ and single volume so there's 3 pots in the space of 2. I find 3 band EQs a bit softer sounding, 2 bands tend to be a bit more aggressive. Gotoh or Schaller Hardware. Maybe 3 Concert Bass thru necks in different colours and / or airbrushed graphic paintjobs. A Randy Rhoads shape and a bolt on Charvel Star shape but all made with the same neck parameters and pickup types, routing placements and circuit types. Also, a maple boarded, bolt on necked Concert Bass with steel screw inserts for easy neck removal for flying and no illegal rosewood issues through customs! How much for all these? Well, at £5000-ish each and maybe 5 or 6 basses... We are not going to go down the road of vintage wants, and/or famous basses wants.... Amps? Mesa Boogie Big Block 750's with a couple of Mesa 8x10's. You can play any stage, anywhere in the word with these. Catch Vice Squad on the 6th May at Coventry's The Arches venue.
