Also maybe why his characterization sorta shifted? I have to imagine getting everything wiped from you memories up until a certain point would alter you if not entirely change you

and..he's not certain if he wants whatever that'd entail.

this is sorta old? (hence one doodle being hella low quality cause I didn't send it to my guy and just straight posted it for..some reason,thanks for being horrible at archiving me) but the rest I still had! keep your art somewheres accessible guys!!

i hope freaks don't mind insta reposts cause theirs a lot of junk

tangentially related I really like drawing future matt

Actually scratch that I REALLY like drawing matt

there was an unfinished bit before this where in tom stole the thing...DO I FINISH???../j.../srs?

How I Manage Food Costs as a Feedist

Preface: I often see people in this community post about struggling with food insecurity and managing food costs. These are just some tips that have helped me when I was down to the last few dollars and needed to eat for a few weeks. I understand circumstances are different for everyone, and some people struggle even with this level of food security, I have been there. My intention is to help.

With food prices still high—often due to profit gouging—I’ve found ways to manage my food budget, and the secret is simple: **eat at home!** Growing up in extreme poverty with two working parents, eating at home was pretty much our only option, aside from takeout once every few months. My parents taught me the value of home cooking, and while it takes time to develop essential skills, Making sauces, learning how to prep and clean ingredients, cooking veggies, preparing meats, etc., once you have them, there’s a whole world of recipes within reach.

Here’s how I manage food costs, and how you can too:

1. Weekly/Monthly Shopping Essentials

Start with the basics—items you’ll need to shop for regularly to cover your meals for a week or two. Building a pantry depends on the storage space you have, but here are some key ingredients to keep on hand:

- Milk (1 to 2 gallons, depending on your choice—I go with 1%)

- Eggs (18 count)

- Bread (1 loaf) (I also recommend tortillas as they last longer than bread and can be used for nearly any bread needs)

- Rolls or Croissants (If you shop at a bulk store, you can get a dozen for $6.)

- Fruits: Change with the season, but apples, oranges, and grapes are solid year-round choices. In the summer, throw in some berries and stone fruit.

- Veggies for Prep: Stick to simple, versatile veggies like green bell peppers, zucchini, onions, potatoes, and chilies.

- Butter: Unsalted sweet cream butter is my favorite! Go for sticks instead of tubs for a better per-unit cost.

- Leafy Greens: A bag of spinach or romaine hearts

- Cheese: Shredded cheese works best and if you want to save more, buy a block and slice or shred it yourself.

These staples give you a variety of flavors, textures, and nutrition to build meals around, whether you’re whipping up sides, salads, or more complex dishes.

2. Protein, Protein, Protein!

Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet, but you don’t need to overdo it or overspend. I’ve found that chicken and tofu are some of the most affordable and versatile protein sources available (unless you’re hunting your own!). Both freeze well and can be used in a variety of recipes with different seasonings and marinades.

You can also look at beef, but stick to lean beef and fish as you do not want to pay for fat that will not end up in your food.

3. Shelf-Stable Items to Buy in Bulk

Buying in bulk can be a game changer, especially if you stock up on shelf-stable items. If you’re short on storage space, invest in an airtight tote to keep things organized. Start with common essentials like:

- Flour (Good ole AP with cover you most of the time)

- Sugar

- Baking Powder

- Baking Soda

- Brown Sugar

- Cooking Oil (I go for olive oil and canola oil)

These staples are the foundation of countless recipes and, when stored properly, can last for months or even a year.

4. Season Early, Season Often

Spices are what make food magical! You don’t need fancy brands—stick with basics that offer single-ingredient profiles. My go-to spices are:

- Salt

- Pepper

- Garlic Powder

- Onion Powder

- Thyme

- Oregano

- Paprika

- Cumin

- Cinnamon

- Chili Powder

- Vanilla Extract

- Bouillon Cubes

- Red Pepper Flakes

These spices will give you all the flavor you need to create a variety of meals without breaking the bank.

5. Canned Goods: The Unsung Hero

Canned goods are a staple in my kitchen. They offer consistent quality, low prices, and a long shelf life. Plus, they’re great for backup when fresh ingredients are low. Some key canned items to keep on hand are:

- Pinto Beans

- Crushed Tomatoes

- Tomato Paste

- Tomato Sauce

- Boiled White Potatoes

- Herring or Sardines

- Tuna

- Fruit Cocktail

- Peaches

- Pears

- Broth or Stock

These ingredients can help you create filling and versatile meals on a budget.

6. Where You Shop Matters

The store you shop at can make a huge difference in food prices. Here’s how to stretch your budget even further:

Bulk Stores: Invest in a membership at places like Sam’s Club, Costco, or BJ’s. The $100 yearly fee is usually paid for in savings after just a few trips. Protein, especially beef and fish, is almost always cheaper in bulk stores.

Walmart and Aldi: These stores are great for extras like frozen veggies, fresh produce, dairy items, and baked goods. Their prices are hard to beat!

Hope this helps and feel free to reblog or comment with your own tips and tricks!

Stick to Your List: One of the easiest ways to overspend and waste food is by shopping without a plan. Make a list, and stick to it. This will help keep your budget in check and prevent unnecessary purchases.

By following these steps, you can keep your food costs down while still eating healthy and delicious meals. The key is planning ahead, shopping smart, and keeping a well-stocked pantry!

LU Headcanons: What I think their fav desserts would be part 1

these are really fun to write, i should probs sleep but lesgooo

Time: Not a huge sweet tooth, prefers only what Malon will make from her homemade farm/kitchen. I'd imagine he likes something simple, maybe a plain butter cake or anything with cinnamon to balance out those double espresso shots. He will make an exception sometimes and have milk tea with it with Malon. They LOVE to spend their time together on those cold nights with a cup of hot chocolate. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

But lets be honest, ain't nothing sweeter than his wifey and im here for it

Warriors: Strawberries and cream! Anything with this combo is to die for and he will always pick that from dessert menus. Maybe a fancy tiramisu during those Royal balls or a bread and butter pudding. Very high end, refined desserts. Doesn't like store bought cakes or sweets. A bit of a dessert snob, and really clashes with Wild on this when he sees him packing together the most random ingredients together.

Sky: OH HE LOVES SWEETS, doesn't miss the chance to have his sweet treat every now and then, and especially when he gets to spend it with Zelda. He'd give her anything, his lunch, his LIFE but not his sweet treats, thank you very much. Def a cake and tea guy, loves to try anything with sugar though but his go to is a soft butter cream icing cake. Occasionally does the white chocolate but only when he's in the mood for it.

Wild: He will try anything sweet, even if its got the most wackiest ingredients. Had to rely on berries and fruits to fulfill his cravings but once he got around to trying more things he was open to anything, really. Once he discovered chocolate though, it was a game changer. He forgot how beautiful and smooth the taste and texture was. It's simple, but so satisfying by the campfire underneath the stars with a hot cup of cocoa.

Legend: Pretends not to be a sugar addict, but come on now, he's still a kid. Sees the other ones indulging, dipping cookies in tea or spooning ice cream while giving a snide side eye. 'Aren't you too old for that?' he'd probably say to the others but also can't pass up a good dessert. He's a huge ice cream guy, especially on those hot tiring days. He really enjoys it, a choc brownie or caramel in silence or strawberry. If anyone talks to him while he's eating he gets really mad, and it pisses him off once it starts melting. NEEDS TO ENJOY IT IN PEACE.

I'm lowkey falling asleep, will do a part 2 tomoz lmao, good night.

How to look your best everyday

“Always leave your home looking your best, you never know when you have a date with destiny”

I don’t need to say that inner beauty is important, and I’m not here to tell anyone to neglect one in favor of the other but taking care of your looks will not only make you feel better about yourself but is also an act of love and respect towards the people you know. No woman should be ashamed of their femininity and taking the time and effort to make themselves beautiful. Besides, you never know when you’ll find the man of your dreams so why limit your options by presenting less than your best self. Remember failing to plan is planning to fail

A lot of women are bad with time management and preparing ahead and that causes them to leave the house subpar so here are some tips on how you can save yourself some time in the morning and looking put together more effortlessly without needing to spend hours on it.

Beauty starts the night before. Ladies, effort on your night routine, on your skin and hair care before you sleep are necessary. At night, besides your face cleanser, either use some retinol serum to stimulate cell renewal or some salicylic acid treatment that will take care of your pores thus less acne and give you a better skin texture. Also it’s important to note that sleeping with makeup should be avoided at all costs. To your hair the night is perfect to add some oil to the ends, or curl it and pin it allowing the curls to set or if you wanna avoid the heat, the night time is perfect to set your heatless curls.

Pick your outfits the night before and if necessary iron and use a lint roller on them ahead as well.This is going to be such a game changer, you’ll look more intentional instead of rushing in the morning and just dressing what is clean, seeing if the pieces go together, the shoes and the purse and all of those things that come with getting ready in the morning. A good idea is to have some staple outfits that you feel good in and are easy reaches. If you wanna take it a step ahead you can even choose 5 outfits to wear on the weekend.

Accessories. I love rings, necklaces and when you are rushing in the morning it can be easy to forget those. So consider those accessories that make your outfit look more intentional and put together. So pick your jewelry, handbag and shoes along with your outfit the night before and pack your handbag with the necessary items like a mini lint roller, safety pins, hand sanitizer a mini tooth brush and tooth paste,and a little makeup touch up kit, t and perfume miniature and a hairbrush the night before.

Being healthy. An 80/20 diet, exercise adequate hydration and a good night of sleep will only change your looks for the better

Take care of your clothes. Send whatever needs to be adjusted to a seamstress, use lint rollers - cat and dog hair will only cheapen your looks- and please no clothes with holes or permanent stains

╭─────────────╮

context: i am all might, this is my hero academia 😂

╰─────────────╯

📼💪 Hanta Sero: i have a lot of memories of him coming up to me and making observational jokes? like, endless hilarious jokes about really unexpected things

🍡🌌 Ochaco Uraraka: the poor girl was lacking funds and that resulted in some! very upsetting behavior! so i tried to make sure the student's fridge was always full and i got her a bunch of junk food and snacks all the time. i gave her an extra card i had and i also went a little overboard and got some room decorations and posters and stuff for her. she was the reason i changed the former policy that Might Tower's student outreach programs had, my dumb ass had not realized what was going on b4

📚🪆 Momo Yayorozu: the leader of the girl's sleepover squad. she was always getting new nail polish or types of tea or hair care products or face masks for all the girls to try together at a sleepover. and how do i know this? well, you'll never guess who was invited as an "honorary girl" to most of these sleepovers. it was shoto! betcha didn't see that coming. i was also there, haha!

🌑🐦‍⬛ Fumikage Tokoyami: he would write and share poetry often! it was pretty insightful and beautiful, and occasionally it would inspire his classmates bc i remember tsu sharing a few poems too

😈🗡️ Dark Shadow: dark shadow was such a disturbance in class until we started treating them like an actual person 😂 it made me rethink a lot of subtle rules that Nezu had, bc tokoyami's grades increased dramatically and dark shadow was able to perform better in P.E. when they knew the other parts of the lesson plan. who'd'a thunk it (this anime is a psychological horror)

🥊⛰️ Ejiro Kirishima: kirishima was so positive and supportive that you wouldn't expect him to struggle with negative self talk, but sometimes one on one tutoring got a little heavy! knowing his goals and inspirations helped me to give him pep talks and hype him up, and i also remember recommending a few movies, plus a documentary on crimson riot that he said he had never seen before. i told him i dye my hair too (bleach)

🪩🎭 Yuga Aoyama: after the whole. well. plot thing, he was so sad and so scared, but everyone in the class was very supportive and tried to be a good friend to him! he confided in me about feelings of guilt and shame sometimes, and i was grateful to be able to reassure him. it was also cool to be able to reassure him about having a quirk he wasn't born with, bc same hat.

🦁🥋 Mashirao Ojirou: we watched all of the star wars movies in 30 minute to an hour sessions after tutoring. his hero costume was inspired by luke skywalker's outfit in a new hope. it kind of ruled

👾💗 Mina Ashido: pinky helped me figure out a bunch of stretching routines for the class, especially her peers who had different body plans or muscle tension. tutoring her was more like her tutoring me half the time!!

🪞💡 Toru Hagakure: her quirk awakening was so cool, she got skilled enough at it to make bizarre glowing checkerboard patterns move across her body. she looked like a glitched minecraft texture sometimes, it was awesome

🐙🥷 Mezo Shoji: he was part of the poetry club and he also could play the sanshin (i think. it was tall and had three strings and he used a pick or his fingers). he was shy in front of groups but he was a beautiful performer and i might have cried the first time i heard him play

🍰🍬 Rikido Sato: he was so sweet and sensitive that he was one of the only people who could hold kouda's rabbit. i was in his room all the time because he kept baking me treats

🐇🕊️Koji Kouda: lemme tell you, this guy's quirk in the middle of summer when all the ants start trying to come indoors? game changer. one of my favorite things about him is he would baa like a sheep sometimes.

🚏⛑️ Tenya Iida: one time he ran out of glasses by breaking them all and he had to wear prescription swim googles until his replacements arrived. pure game, legends only

🎤🎚️ Kyoka Jirou: she made some seriously killer remixes in her free time, it was so awesome being able to hear them, like itching part of my brain. extremely stimmy hyperpop shawn wasabi core stuff, bangers only

🔥🧊 Shoto Todoroki: he had this ongoing theme where he would get mismatched red and white stuff, like pairs of shoes, which matched his hair colors. i remember him getting both vanilla and strawberry whenever he would get sweets, and he had this big knit blanket that was half white and half red that he used in the common area sometimes

🐸🌧️ Tsuyu Asui: tsu would ask the most interesting questions sometimes. like sometimes you'd just be sitting there in the common room doing something else, and she'd come up to you and then read you so severely it'd give me whiplash. i saw a few students react... poorly, to this, at times, but i think it was a testament to how observant tsu was that she could pinpoint not only someone's insecurities but even a few explanations for those insecurities, accurately. and some of her classmates seemed to really appreciate being so Seen and Known. definitely a trait that's valuable in a hero!! extremely awkward when she called me out on my hygiene due to my mental health 😂

🍇⛓️‍💥 Minoru Mineta: i dunno how to say this but in my canon she was trans. idk. an integral member of the girl's sleepover squad. as soon as she felt accepted she became the most cool and chill person ever, everyone loved her

🥦🐰 Izuku Midoriya: pretty much the most common activity Izuku did besides work out was sit next to me with his notebook and write stuff about me in it. he had a ruler or sometimes a measuring tape that he would use, and i would catch him measuring random parts of my body when i wasn't looking and writing it down. dude knew the exact length of my wrinkles and what not. just complete fanboy behavior, he had his hyperfixation on lock

*~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~*

🎞️♟️ Sir Nighteye: one of the most common memories i have is this repeated situation that i put us through where i had a crush on him, right? so i would be on the verge of confessing or kissing him or holding his hand but then he would use his quirk on me and see that i was about to do that and then he would get so flustered that i wouldn't. which is changing the future btw jsyk

🛡️⌨️ David Shield: shout out to that one semester of college where whenever i went to find david he was in the labs working without eating or sleeping, listening to ABBA on repeat. what a legend.

🔎👔 Naomasa Tsukauchi: when i met his sister for the first time then it suddenly explained like so much about him. he also helped me connect with an organization to foster kittens when i was rescuing them outside of work. we would text each other memes

👁️❌ Eraserhead: aizawa had this secret evil sixth sense where he could just tell whenever i was smoking and would magically appear out of nowhere (feeding stray alley cats) and catch me in the act (trying to quit)(not succeeding)(nicotine gum did not help)

🔊🎙️ Present Mic: president michael's radio show was extremely popular so whenever he would do a call challenge then his work phone would be destroyed with incoming messages. he was pretty much always ringing off the hook with work stuff but it was insurmountable on giveaway days.

🪤🔒 Midnight: we would go out drinking with her friends a lot, sometimes with coworkers but sometimes she would introduce me to all sorts of folks. she was extremely social and popular??!

👻🗃️ Ectoplasm: he flipping loved karaoke, he would only go out with any of us if we were going to do karaoke. he would use his quirk to sing harmonies. he also did jigsaw puzzles in the common area sometimes, and sudoku.

⚕️🌀 Thirteen: she had such a messed up sleep schedule dude, so when we figured out that we had the same taste in tv then the dorm couch became like. a crash pad. usually one of us was leaving a recently vacated depression nest of blankets and snacks with a nature documentary playing

🚧🏢 Cementoss: ken was such a sweetheart he was always giving me sweets and trying to care for my wellbeing. he liked nature documentaries too so he was part of the late night cuddle puddle often, altho he usually went to bed instead of sleeping on the couch

A Simple Guide for a Perfect Hair Care Routine at Night

We all understand the importance of a good hair care routine. But have you considered the significance of nighttime hair care? A dedicated evening routine can be a game-changer for your hair's health and appearance. Here’s your simple guide to perfecting your hair care routine before you hit the pillow.

Why Is a Nightly Hair Care Routine Essential?

Your hair endures much during the day—pollution, heat styling, and even natural oil production can impact your hair's health. A nightly routine helps reduce these effects by rejuvenating your hair while you sleep, enhancing its strength, vitality and balancing the sebum on the scalp.

Moreover, caring for your hair at night can help prevent damage and breakage caused by friction with your pillowcase as you toss and turn. This extra care before bedtime keeps your hair looking healthy and vibrant. Remember how Goldilocks used to brush her hair 100 times before bed.

Step 1: Brush Your Hair

Start your nightly routine by gently brushing your hair. This helps detangle knots and spread the scalp’s natural oils throughout your hair, promoting moisture retention and reducing breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft brush, starting from the ends and working your way up to minimize stress on your hair. If you have curly hair, opt for a detangling brush designed to preserve your curls.

Step 2: Apply a Nourishing Hair Mask or Oil

To deeply moisturize and repair your hair, apply a nourishing hair mask or oil suited to your hair type. Coat your hair from roots to tips and let the treatment sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if possible. This step is crucial for restoring hydration and reviving dull, damaged hair.

Organix Mantra Rosemary & Lavender Hair oil  is ideal for revitalizing and reviving hair growth.This hair oil is formulated with a blend of nurturing oils such as jojoba, coconut, and olive, selected for their proven benefits in improving hair and scalp health. These oils fortify and nourish your hair, creating optimal conditions for natural vitality and growth. The formula enhances hair texture, leaving it softer and more lustrous while avoiding any greasy residue.

For those with fine or oily hair, choose lightweight oils or masks to avoid weighing down your hair. You can cover your hair with a shower cap to lock in the treatment and maximize its benefits.

Step 3: Tie Up Your Hair Gently

If you’re skipping the hair mask or oil, it’s still wise to tie your hair up loosely to prevent tangling and breakage while sleeping. Avoid tight elastic bands that can stress your hair. Instead, use a silk or satin scrunchie or headband to gently secure your hair. For longer hair, a loose braid works well to keep your hair organized and minimize knots.

Step 4: Switch to a Satin Pillowcase

Minimize hair damage from friction by sleeping on a satin pillowcase. The smooth texture of satin helps reduce hair breakage and maintain moisture levels in your hair. If you don’t have a satin pillowcase, wrapping your hair in a silk scarf is an effective alternative. Also, keep your pillowcase clean to avoid the buildup of oils and hair care products.

Step 5: Morning Care

In the morning, wash your hair to remove any overnight product buildup. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a nourishing conditioner to cleanse gently without stripping natural oils. Consider a cool rinse to close the hair cuticles, enhancing shine and reducing frizz.

To Sum Up

Consistency is key in maintaining the health and beauty of your hair. Integrate these steps into your nightly routine for noticeable improvements in your hair's texture and strength. Wake up to healthier, more beautiful hair every day by giving it the care it deserves at night. Happy hair care!

Hair Growth Serum for Women: Unlock the Secret to Thicker, Healthier Hair

Hair loss can be a distressing issue for many women, but there’s good news: hair growth serums can offer a solution. Whether you’ve noticed thinning hair or just want to promote growth, using the best hair growth serum can make a significant difference. Let’s dive into how hair growth serums work and how they can benefit you.

What Is a Hair Growth Serum?

Hair growth serum for women are specially formulated products designed to stimulate hair follicles and promote healthier, thicker hair. They contain active ingredients like biotin, vitamins, and plant extracts that nourish the scalp and encourage new hair growth. These serums are typically applied directly to the scalp, where they work to strengthen hair strands and improve circulation to the hair follicles.

Benefits of Hair Growth Serums

Stimulates Hair Growth: The active ingredients in hair growth serums help stimulate the scalp, promoting the growth of new, healthy hair. By improving blood circulation and nourishing hair follicles, these serums give your hair the best chance to grow faster and thicker.

Reduces Hair Thinning: Many women experience hair thinning due to various reasons, such as hormonal changes, stress, or aging. Hair growth serums can help reduce thinning by strengthening existing hair and encouraging new growth, making your hair appear fuller and more voluminous.

Nourishes the Scalp: A healthy scalp is crucial for healthy hair. The nourishing ingredients in hair growth serums, such as Vitamin C, support a balanced scalp environment. Vitamin C is known for its ability to repair skin and stimulate collagen production, which helps maintain the strength of hair follicles.

Enhances Hair Strength: In addition to promoting hair growth, hair serums also help strengthen individual strands. They protect against breakage, which is important if you want to maintain length and overall hair health. Stronger hair means fewer split ends and less hair fall.

Improves Shine and Texture: Regular use of hair growth serums can give your hair a natural shine and smoother texture. With better nourishment, hair appears healthier and more vibrant.

Vitamin C Serum for Your Skin and Hair

While most people associate Vitamin C with skincare, it’s also an important ingredient for hair health. Vitamin C serums for the face work wonders for skin, and the benefits of Vitamin C for hair growth are just as significant. It promotes collagen production, which helps keep hair follicles strong and healthy. Using a Vitamin C serum for the face and hair can enhance the overall health of both your skin and hair, giving you a radiant glow from head to toe.

How to Choose the Best Hair Growth Serum

When selecting the best hair growth serum for women, it's important to look for a formula that suits your hair type and needs. Here are a few key factors to consider:

Ingredients: Look for serums that contain ingredients like biotin, caffeine, keratin, or Vitamin C, which are known to promote hair growth and improve hair health.

Suitability for Your Hair Type: Some serums are designed specifically for certain hair types, such as dry, oily, or color-treated hair. Make sure to choose one that aligns with your hair’s needs.

Brand Reputation: Choosing a trusted brand like Skinmumma ensures you're getting high-quality products. Skinmumma offers a range of serums designed for both hair and skin care, ensuring maximum results.

Tips for Applying Hair Growth Serum

Apply to a Clean Scalp: Make sure your scalp is clean before applying the serum to allow maximum absorption.

Massage Gently: After applying the serum, gently massage it into your scalp to promote blood circulation and ensure even distribution.

Consistency Is Key: For optimal results, apply the serum consistently as directed. Hair growth takes time, so be patient and stick to a routine.

Conclusion

Hair growth serums, such as the ones available from Skinmumma, can be a game-changer in your hair care routine. With their nourishing ingredients, these serums promote thicker, stronger hair and reduce thinning. If you're also looking for a solution to brighten your skin, consider incorporating a Vitamin C serum for face to complement your hair care routine. The combined benefits of both products can help you achieve healthy skin and hair, making you feel more confident than ever.

If you’re ready to experience the benefits of hair growth serums, give Skinmumma's products a try for visibly healthier hair and skin.

I'm not sure if you have already answered this but what do you use for your hair!!! The length is amazing!!

thank you so much! 🫶

i use some curly-girl-adjacent products to try and tame the crazy amount of frizz i so easily get ☠️ but the one thing i am adamant about and never, ever go without is a leave-in conditioner and for years and years my go-to has been Aunt Jackie's Quench Moisture Intense Leave-In Conditioner (the green bottle). it really is a game-changer as it makes textured hair a lot more manageable

i used to LOVE Aunt Jackie's Fix My Hair Intensive Repair Conditioning Masque to use as a regular conditioner in the bath but it got banned in the EU bc of some ingredient i'm not even sure was dangerous (this may just have been overzealousness). they may have changed the formula, though, bc i see it's commercialized on some sites so i will have to check it out. it was truly unique & i miss it so much!

but the main idea still stands - to use a mask or a deep conditioner just like a regular conditioner. they're more potent and work better for frizzy, curly hair. nowadays i just use the drugstore pantene pro v hair biology masks. they work surprisingly well and are very good at detangling my hair

as for shampoo, i do try to use something with lighter surfactants on my length, but on the scalp you have to be careful to cleanse it really well & exfoliate if necessary with something stronger (like salicylic acid maybe). also to avoid build-up on the hair strands. but, then again, stronger surfactants also make the texture more difficult, so it's always a balancing act!

other rules i keep to are:

- the only time i brush my hair is in the shower when i have conditioner on. i never, ever brush my hair at a different time unless i absolutely plan to braid it immediately. people with curly hair know that brushing destroys the integrity of the curl and leaves one looking like a mop 😂

- i always air dry and use microfiber towels and sleep on a satin pillowcase

- i always braid my hair at night

all of these things keep the hair from getting too tangled and help with frizz

for thickness and length, idk what advice to give bc i've never had a problem in that department (god's favourite, i know 🙏). i regularly dye my hair and after 3 months i always see the visible growth via my dark roots :)) i think my hair takes dye pretty well bc it doesn't have a worse texture than before (thankfully). i do get regular trims to keep the dead ends at a minimum though

baby steps: noah marshall x mc

937 words. plotless. tw: mc is getting used to eating solid food again after being saved.

“So this is the famous french dip with au jus that I’ve heard so much about,” you grin, teasing Noah. 

“You remember that,” he blushes. 

You sniff, unsure about this. You’d been on a liquid diet for ages since coming back. It had been Tom and Connor’s plan since you threw up from fries. Keeping down food had been hard at first. Remembering to eat. Being alive was hard. It was shitty how hard the adjustment was after being a disembodied shadow for so long. 

“You can just have the au jus if you don’t think you're ready,” Noah offers, leaning on the counter next to you. He’d cut the sandwich in half.

You take a deep breath, “I never want to have bone broth again,” you scowl, sick of it. Sick the lack of texture. “‘Sides,” you reach out for Noah’s hand, “how else am I gonna taste test the Baby Jane menu?”

“I still have to sign the lease,” Noah reminds you. 

“Oh please,” you wave off, “they’d be crazy not to give you the place. Lot’s been empty since we were kids. I’m actually surprised it’s still standing, and right on the highway too.” Westchester was a small town. People only drove by on their way to New York City. 

You pick at the sandwich first, tearing a piece of bread. “I still can’t believe you know how to bake.”

“It’s really easy,” Noah points out. “Salt. Flour. Yeast. Bread flour is the game changer. Not that all purpose stuff.”

You stick your tongue out at him. 

“Don’t knock it till you try it.” The asshole winks at you. 

You kick him lightly. 

Then you have to pause to wiggle your toes. You had toes again. 

You pinch your arm. 

Yup. Still here. Alive. 

You pop the piece of bread into your mouth. 

“Mm.” Oh fuck it was good. Light and fluffy. You’d forgotten what chewing was like. Better than the store bought white bread that stuck to the roof of your mouth. Still, you tease Noah, “not bad.”

Noah puts a hand over his chest, “that’s it.”

You laugh at him, “okay. It’s really good. I’m surprised you don’t have your own starter.”

“I do actually,” Noah tells you, “gotta save that for the grilled cheese later. It’s mind blowing.”

You giggle. It was adorable how into cooking Noah could get. You didn’t know the difference between tri-tip and sirloin but you could listen to Noah go one about it for hours. You liked watching him move around the kitchen, shredding cheese and sauteing vegetables. 

You had a newfound appreciation for the mundane. Anytime spent with Noah was special to you. 

Next, you pull out a piece of the thinly sliced beef, popping it into your mouth before you chicken out. 

It was. . .you chew, unable to place the flavor. . .you remember the cold seeping into your body, the wind going right past you, the smell of iron and rot and dirt in your jaw. . .

You grip the counter, swallowing the bite. You hope it stays down. You can practically feel it crawling down your throat, landing in your stomach with a heavy thud. 

It felt wrong.

Eating, being solid-

It was so hard to get used to. 

Stay down, you tell yourself. It was a tiny bite.

You were sick of pedialyte and strained chicken broth. You could do this. You’d managed to keep your sanity through it all, you could do anything. 

“You okay,” Noah squeezes your hand. 

You nod, “yeah. It’s nothing just…give me a moment.” It was hard to be human again. 

“Maybe you should stick to bread? If it’s easier.” 

He was so sweet. Noah who never left your side when you needed him most, who gave you all the space you needed to recover, who made you laugh when you felt like shattering. Noah Marshall who made it all worth it. 

“No.” You insist, “Let me try another piece,” you decide when the slice of beef doesn’t give you nausea. When you manage to keep the bite down, you decide to have another. 

This time you focus on the cheap particle board bar top in Noah’s tiny home. The entire neighborhood was rundown, but quiet. There were never any issues except the neighbors sunday get together that would go on until 2 in the morning.

Secretly you liked hearing the noise. It gave you something to focus on when you woke up from another nightmare back in that place. 

You rip another piece with your fingers. 

This time it’s juicy, the beef tearing to pieces easily. You lack the words, barely remembering food enough but it’s good. It’s a lot like deja vu, the flavor of beef was familiar but you couldn't remember how. 

“I like it,” you tell Noah. 

“Does it live up to expectations?” He flicks your nose.

You flip him off. “Company could be better.” You tear another piece of bread off. Small bites. You could do small bites. “I like getting to chew.” It sounds insane. “Fuck, that’s sad.” You slump in the bar stool.

“No,” Noah reassured you, “it’s cute.”

“Liar.”

“I’m not lying.”

“Okay,” you scrunch your nose up, “so we’re both pathetic.”

“Maybe,” Noah grins. 

You laugh, covering your mouth with your hand. 

Maybe you two were sad losers barely working on getting GEDs after flunking high school for supernatural reasons, but you wouldn’t want to be with anyone else. Things as simple as doing the dishes was tons of fun when you got to flick soap bubbles at Noah. 

“So when do I get to try the grilled cheese?”

Sims Tag  

I was tagged by @esotheria-sims!

1. What’s your favourite sims death?

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever let a sim die 😆 Not only do I not actually play the game very often, I’m just too attached to my sims. But if I had to choose it’d be death by cowplant.

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

Alpha/semi-realistic till the day I die!

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?

Nah, that’s unnecessary.

4. Do you use move objects?

ALWAYS.

5. Favorite mod?

@lamare-sims‘ Shiftable Everything! I love to decorate, and this was a TOTAL game-changer for me.

6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?

I bought The Sims 2 Deluxe in 2007. I still get confused with what came with the base game and what came with Nightlife because I’ve always had NL 😅

7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?

Like LIVing. I seem to be in the minority on this but whatever.

8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

Laegrinna, of course! I’m sure everyone who follows me knows already but she’s the sim pictured in this post and in my avatar. She’s the protagonist of a game called Deception IV: Blood Ties.

9. Have you made a simself?

Yep, I do have one, you can see her in my 40th birthday post from last year. I gave her graying hair then to be more accurate. I did play as her a few times but it felt kind of weird so she just roams around my hood.

10. What sim traits do you give yourself?

I don’t use the traits mod but if I did, it’d probably be Absent-Minded, Perfectionist, Cat Person, Eccentric, and Socially Awkward.

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?

I don’t use EA colors or textures, obviously, but I hate them all, especially the pee yellow blonde 😂

12. Favorite EA hair?

I don’t use EA hairs, but the only one I even remotely like is the Mansion & Garden dreads band hair. I might try to do something texture-wise with it at some point.

(Editing to say HOW THE SHIT DID I FORGET LAEGRINNA’S HAIR *facepalm* yeah it’s the Modern Bob from the EA store. As for hairs shipped with the game see above)

13. Favorite life stage?

I only play adults because I’m boring lol

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

I dunno, I spend way more time creating and taking pics than I do playing. I’m awful at building but I do enjoy it and like I said I love decorating.

15. Are you a CC creator?

Yep, have been for almost 8 years now! I’ve made a ridiculous amount of CC, mostly hairs but I think I enjoy retexturing clothing and objects a bit more. I’ve just started learning meshing and it’s opened up so many new possibilities for me. I have an endless list of future projects!

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad?

I have a few. I’m not popular in the community or anything and my social skills are lacking but I do like interacting with other simmers.

17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)

Sims 2 forever!

18. Do you have any sims merch?

Nope.

19. Do you have a YouTube for sims?

No and I don’t think I’d be good at making videos in general.

20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?

It’s gotten much more eccentric and I’ve leaned harder into semi-realism despite most people playing Maxis Match the past 10+ years. I love goth/alternative CC and incorporated a lot more into my game when I created the Deception IV sims. It’s funny because it seems like people’s tastes get more mainstream as they age, but it’s exactly the opposite for me. I look at my old CC and the way I used to dress and make up my sims and think “wow was I boring back then.” The current aesthetic of my game more accurately reflects my personality.

21. What’s your Origin ID?

Bold of you to assume I use Origin 😂

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?

Too many to list here! I’m a CC hoarder.

23. How long have you had a simblr?

7 years, almost as long as I’ve been creating.

24. How do you edit your pictures?

I do minimal editing, partially because I’m not very good at it and also because with CC previews I want people to see exactly what they’re getting. I use Pooklet’s game lighting actions, I’m careful with how much light I use when taking the pics in-game because it’s easier to brighten a screenshot than fix an overexposed one (Laegrinna’s white hair is particularly prone to overexposure). I brighten the subjects of the picture a bit more and darken the background a little so they stand out. But that’s really it.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?

Well, we’re not getting anything else for TS2 anyway, and I don’t even know what else I’d want because there’s so many fun mods out there that add to the game.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?

That’s a tough one - I love playing witches (Laegrinna and her sister Velguirie are both evil witches) so Apartment Life is up there, but I also love playing businesses and having my sims go out on the town so I couldn’t imagine playing without OFB or Nightlife.

I’m going to tag @furbyq, @focalor-sims, @equinoxts2, @pooklet, @skulldilocks, @letomills, and @phoebe-twiddle!

hi, it's the anon who's stopping by! how have you been?? I hope you're having a nice week. this last month has been very hectic for me, work was very busy, which both helps with my situation and doesn't. on the one hand work is pretty much the one thing that's going okay in my life rn so focusing on that helps distract from everything else. on the other hand, when all of a sudden work becomes a struggle too, it's tough. but as always, it's best to focus on the positives (easier said than done lol). for example: it's summer! I was actually able to wear a dress to work today, finally!!

I wanted to ask: I remember you mentioned a while ago that you recently cracked the code to making salads tasty, and I was wondering if you could share some tips that worked for you? I'm trying to eat more healthily bc I haven't been doing a very good job of that lately, and I struggle with vegetables tbh. I like the idea of a salad in theory but when I try it it's either bland or straight up acidic (looking at you, lettuce). I don't mind making it "more unhealthy", veggies are still veggies. I just want to be able to eat them without the experience being absolutely miserable 🥲

as always sending you good vibes! I always enjoy seeing you on my dash! have a lovely week!! 💞

hi anon, it' good to see you again! I've been super busy lately, mostly work stuff. we're gearing up for a big deadline and so the meetings and the business travel have ramped up. my flight home on friday got super delayed and I got in late, and i think it's a sign that I'm getting older because the late night really threw off my whole weekend. I had plans to get out and explore but i just bummed around for 2 whole days, which was admittedly pretty nice.

I totally feel you on the busy work stuff being both a blessing and a curse. work was a great distraction for me when I needed it but lol I wish it came without all the stress and the pressure and the rest. it sounds like you're hanging in there, and I am sending lots of good vibes your way! looking on the bright side is SO HARD but ughhh it's one of those things I've found actually pays off. I hope work stays relatively chill for you.

and yay for summer! (it's my favorite time of year). dresses are the best! it's always so fun to break out the summer wardrobe. i've been living in long flowy skirts for a few weeks now!

okay salads! I love tasty salads. I should probably preface this with the confession that i genuinely enjoy vegetables. but i hope you can still find some of this useful. my biggest issue with salads was that i'm lazy and also hate spoiled browning salad mix, so those were the two big problems i was looking to solve for myself. i'll put my process in bulletpoionts because i love bulletpoints.

chopping the lettuce! game changer.

baby spinach stays fresh the whole week. also i can use it in morning fruit smoothies to get extra veggies.

i chop all my veggies (usually red bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, feta cheese) at the beginning of the week because i'm lazy. also, i roast extra veggies at dinner and use the leftovers in my salads for variety

i supplement fresh veggies with canned: heart of palm, artichokes, baby corn, roasted red peppers

carbs in the salad! couscous, pearl couscous, orzo, rice. it makes it more fun and gives good texture

also beans! (omg butter beans in salad is amazing!). canned because i'm lazy

crispy tortilla strips! yum

for protein, i braise a batch of chicken thighs and shred them up , and pop them in the salad as needed. also i keep grocery store frozen fried chicken in the freezer for if I run out of fresh.

i don't like completely cold salads so i gently reheat the chicken before i use it to give it some temperature variation

homemade tahini lime salad dressing because it's delicious. also I will 100% take the leftover salad dressings from catered work lunches.

I guess that's a longwinded way of saying that i make sure to actually put stuff I like eating in my salads. I switch things up for variety, but the combo of chopped lettuce, carbs, protein, veggies and a good dressing goes a long way. tbh, a good dressing is 100% the most important part of a good salad. I stopped buying those crappy low fat salad dressings because they taste like cardboard. I either make my own or splurge on the nice full fat ones and use them in moderation.

good luck with your salads! i've definitely felt a lot more energetic since i got better about eating more fruits/vegetables. (granted, some of that might also be the vitamin supplements I started taking on the advice of my doctor.) i hope it works for you!

thanks for stopping by, I was wondering how you were doing and I'm so glad to hear the updates!

Vacuum Forming Is a Game Changer in Manufacturing

Innovation in the manufacturing sector is what propels cost-effectiveness, adaptability, and efficiency. Vacuum forming is one such cutting-edge method that has completely changed the way goods are created and manufactured. Due to its many benefits, vacuum forming technique has become more and more common in a variety of sectors.

Production at a Low Cost

The affordability of vacuum forming is one of its main benefits. Vacuum forming uses less expensive machinery and tools than conventional production techniques like die casting or injection molding. Because of this, vacuum forming is a desirable alternative for small- to medium-sized production runs, allowing companies to save costs without sacrificing quality.

Quick Prototyping

Rapid prototyping is made possible by Vacuum Forming China, which enables engineers and designers to test and iterate product concepts fast. It is possible to build several prototypes at a reasonable cost because to the short lead times and inexpensive tooling costs. This quickens the process of developing new products, allowing companies to launch new concepts more quickly and adapt quickly to the needs of their customers.

Flexibility in the Choice of Materials

A large variety of thermoplastic materials may be used with vacuum forming, giving producers the freedom to select the material that is best suited for their particular purpose. Because of their versatility, goods with different levels of flexibility, transparency, and durability may be made. Vacuum forming is a flexible solution for a multiplicity of sectors, accommodating a wide range of material needs from durable automotive components to thin-gauge packaging.

Smooth Customization of the Design

Vacuum forming makes it simple to easily customize complex designs. It is possible to accomplish intricate textures, undercuts, and forms without the requirement for costly tool adjustments. Vacuum forming is a great option for creating aesthetically pleasing and useful items in a variety of sectors, including consumer electronics, car interiors, and signs, because of its adaptability in design customization.

Lightweight Goods

Because vacuum-formed materials by vacuum forming manufacturer are lightweight by nature, they are appropriate for uses where weight is a crucial consideration. This benefit is especially pertinent to the aerospace and automobile sectors, where weight reduction may improve overall performance and fuel economy. Additionally, vacuum-formed items' lightweight design makes handling, shipping, and installation simpler.

Blogmas Charlotte Tilbury Iconic Magic Skin Duo 💕

Hi guys,

We all know around this time of year Charlotte Tilbury brings are some beautiful gift sets for the holiday season. Personally I love shopping these collections for myself because it's a great time to replace empty products in your collection for a good price (as far as luxury brands go) and they make ever better presents! When it comes to Charlotte's skincare range she has so many amazing products but there are 2 in particular I use daily. When I started running out of both products I started shopping around for gift sets and I found one so today we are chatting about the Charlotte's Iconic Magic Skin Duo, £85.00 gift set.

In the Magic Skin Duo set you get a full sized Charlotte's Magic Serum and original Magic Cream. These 2 products have been such a game changer in my skincare routine that I honestly think my skin wouldn't be as good as it is now without them. Now before we talk more about the products let's chat price. I paid £85.00 for this gift set, it included a 30ml Magic Cream that is £52.00 and the 30ml Magic Serum is £65.00. So if I brought them separately it would of total to £117 but since I got the 2 products in a fancy gift set packaging I saved £32.00! So while I'll be the first to admit it is pricey if you know someone who uses these products daily it's totally worth it!

Now if you haven't had the pleasure of using these products before let me chat you through some details. If you are using these products in your routine you would start with the Magic Serum. This product is designed to give your skin a hydration boost, brighten your complexion, minimise pores and make skin feel firmer. Personally I feel like this product makes me face so much smoother and easier to put makeup on because it sits so much better. I have been using this serum for years now and I love how much it has improved my skins oiliness while still giving me a healthy glow.

One you have put on your serum you then put on the Magic Cream. This cream has been my go for 5+ years now and I am obsessed with how it has changed my skins texture over the years and made it so smooth and hydrated. If you haven't tried Magic Cream (OG) before it is famous for being an immediate skin reviving cream that moisturisers, smooths and leaves your skin looking plumer with a gorgeous glow. I adore Magic Cream because it's a very thick, rich formulated cream that makes your skin feel amazing the second it's applied. Everyone I have ever recommended Magic Cream to has been obsessed with it and never goes back to their regular cream so highly recommend trying.

A gift set like this would make an amazing main present for someone because you get 2 full size iconic Magic skincare products from Charlotte Tilbury for a really good prize. As always all products mentioned are linked above, these holiday collections are selling out fast so highly recommend grabbing it while you can.

Lot's of love

Simple green smoothie. As someone who hates vegetables but still needs to eat them, my acupuncturist recommended I try making green smoothies and I’ve gotta say, it’s been a game changer!

It’s also super great because I don’t have to think about what I’m going to have for dinner every night. I have a bad relationship with food, thanks to my digestive issues, my strong dislike of many tastes and textures, and being neurodivergent. I hate having to make food choices and spending time cooking and cleaning when I’d rather do other things, like write fanfiction late into the night.

~*~

Below is my basic smoothie recipe. The ingredients that are spelled out to the letter never change for me. The others change only when I’ve used up a bag of something. It will also depend on what’s available at the store. For the bananas, cut them in half, peel them, and store them in a freezer bag or container in your freezer, as soon as you buy them. This is a versatile recipe so change it to suit your needs and tastes!

This recipe does not require ice because most of the ingredients are already frozen and the mini cucumber helps provide liquid along with the almond milk and fresh fruit.

The fruit masks the taste of the vegetables! It’s magic!

~*~

Here’s my basic recipe:

1/2 frozen banana

1/2 cup almond milk

1 mini cucumber

Handful of other fruit (fresh, not frozen) for flavoring (currently using pre-cut pineapple pieces, but berries work really well too.)

(Let your mixer mix these ingredients until liquid.)

Add a handful or two of two different frozen vegetables (currently okra and broccoli, but zucchini, peas, and Brussels sprouts work well too. The key is that the vegetables should be green.)

(Let your mixer mix these until liquid.)

Add a handful or two of frozen spinach or kale (or some other leafy green vegetable.)

As a bonus, I’ve been adding a pinch of turmeric and a pinch of ginger at the direction of my acupuncturist.

(Let your mixer mix until everything is liquid and smooth.)

~*~

Too make this a full meal I will eat two fried eggs or a few fish sticks on the side.

I also like to pair this with crackers. Sometimes my kitchen wizardry doesn’t come out as tasty as I’d like, depending on the ingredients mixed together. Most of the time it tastes pretty good, but I’m a severely “picky eater” that causes problems at times. If it happens, crackers help give a neutral taste in between swallows. And yes, there are times I’ve abandoned a smoothie that just wasn’t working for me. It’s okay. Sometimes kale is too strong a flavor and it overpowers the fruit, or maybe the fruit’s just not quite in season yet. It happens.

Remember to drink your smoothie slowly and use a chewing motion. Supposedly, chewing helps you digest your food better, even if it doesn’t actually require chewing. From personal experience, drinking anything, even water, too fast can lead to acid reflux, which ain’t no fun at all.

This really works for me! As a kid I lived almost exclusively on dairy and wheat because that’s what tastes good to me. Even as an adult, I used to eat macaroni and cheese everyday for lunch. I still hate vegetables, but the fruit and other ingredients helps to hide the taste in a smoothie so I can be a little bit more healthy in what I eat these days.
