@imfrom_global Rice Whip Facial Cleanser Review

I received this product for free from Picky and I'M FROM in exchange for my honest review.

The I'M FROM Rice Whip Facial Cleanser is a gentle, foam-based cleanser that effectively removes impurities while maintaining the skin's moisture balance. Infused with rice extract, it helps to brighten and soften the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and refreshed. I love its creamy foam texture, which cleanses deeply without stripping the skin of its natural oils. However, those with very dry or sensitive skin might find it slightly drying, though it’s generally well-suited for normal to oily skin types.

Say Goodbye to Pet Scratching: The Benefits of Veterinary Formula Itch Relief Spray

As pet owners, nothing is more distressing than seeing our furry friends constantly scratching, licking, or suffering from irritated skin. Whether it’s caused by allergies, insect bites, or even just a dirty or matted coat, hot spots and itchy skin can make life uncomfortable for both dogs and cats. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution available to help you keep your pets happy and itch-free – the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medicated Spray.

This 8oz spray is not only easy to use but also provides quick and effective relief from itchy, irritated skin. In this article, we’ll break down exactly how this product works, why it’s highly recommended by veterinarians, and why it’s a must-have for pet owners who want to provide their pets with the best care possible.

1. Quick and Effective Relief for Sensitive Skin

If your dog or cat has been scratching excessively or licking their coat due to discomfort, this spray offers a quick solution.

The spray works immediately to calm the skin, providing relief and reducing irritation.

2. Promotes Healthy Skin and Coat

This medicated spray does more than just soothe itchy skin; it also promotes a healthy skin and coat. Thanks to ingredients like Wheat Germ Oil, which is known for its ability to moisturize and nourish the skin, this product ensures that your pet's coat stays shiny and soft. It tackles both the symptoms and the root cause of itching, making it ideal for long-term skin care.

3. Use Between Washes for Ongoing Support

Unlike shampoos, which require you to bathe your pet, the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief Spray can be used between washes for continuous relief. The formula is designed to be applied directly to the affected areas without needing to rinse it off. So, even on busy days, you can quickly spritz your pet’s coat and give them the comfort they deserve.

It’s packed with powerful ingredients that do the job right, without breaking the bank. As fellow pet parents, we understand how important it is to provide quality care at a price that’s manageable.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

1. Wheat Germ Oil

Wheat Germ Oil is known for its high content of vitamin E, which plays a critical role in nourishing and moisturizing the skin. It helps restore the skin’s natural oils, ensuring that your pet's coat stays soft and healthy while preventing dryness that can lead to more itching.

2. Moisturizing Ingredients

In addition to Wheat Germ Oil, this spray contains other moisturizing ingredients that hydrate the skin, calm irritation, and protect the coat from further damage. These ingredients ensure your pet stays comfortable and itch-free.

3. Anti-Inflammatory Agents

The formula also includes anti-inflammatory agents that reduce swelling and redness. This is especially useful for pets with inflamed hot spots, as it helps soothe the affected area and prevents the issue from worsening.

How to Use Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medicated Spray

Using this product is simple:

Step 1: Shake the bottle well before use.

Step 2: Hold the bottle 4 to 6 inches away from your pet’s fur.

Step 3: Spray directly onto the affected area of the skin, ensuring even coverage.

Step 4: Massage the product into the skin if necessary, but there's no need to rinse it off.

This spray is safe to use on dogs and cats over 12 weeks of age. For best results, apply the spray as needed, especially when your pet starts to show signs of discomfort, such as excessive scratching or licking.

Reviews Elsewhere - Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers

Reviews Elsewhere - Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers

This wasn’t a review as much as an interview with the authors, Dr Gabor Maté and Dr Gordon Neufeld, but it is worth reading.

Parents must reclaim the central role if growing crisis among children is to end, suggests new book

Some of what they say will be familiar if you follow me here or when I talk about the workplace on my other blog. Kids who are not securely attached to parental figures are at risk. I often talk about them being vulnerable to grooming, but they are also vulnerable to mental health issues and a lack of maturity. For example:

“Maturation happens in the context of strong attached relationships with nurturing adults, who promote independence by inviting dependence. Children can develop independence when they have a strong sense of self.”

You may have seen me writing about the sense of self around here a few times. As an abused child, that was the one thing I lacked that held me back as an adult more than anything else. I was adrift in creating an adult life without a sense of self. I could only base my decisions on what others told me to do. I was vulnerable to many influences, not all of whom had my best interests in mind. Others meant well but didn’t know me well enough to know what would work and what wouldn’t, but very few people taught me my place in the larger world – my sense of self. I had to go to therapy to get an understanding of that, and then I had to do a lot of maturing to get it.

Without involved adults, kids don’t see an example of someone with a sense of self because their peers aren’t mature enough to have a healthy sense of self. Thus, we have kids who are very active in activities with their peers, including many activities that are good for them but without a solid tether to security.

This may seem to contradict some recent research that pointed out the mental health impacts of kids not having free time with peers to explore without parents looking over their shoulders, but I think it’s related. Kids need that free play time. It helps them develop social skills and experiment with finding their sense of self in their community. However, that also requires having a solid foundation from adult relationships to allow for experimentation versus dependence on peer relationships for their sense of self.

Parents, don’t walk away feeling like this is your fault. They also point out that society plays a vital role in explaining why this has gotten worse:

“From an early age, for economic and social reasons, children don’t see their parents most of the day.”

Yes, if both parents work, and not many families can afford not to, children grow up without their presence. As work demands more and more of our time and attention, kids get less. As work demands that we move closer to fast-growing corporate areas of the country, kids spend less time with grandparents, aunts, and uncles. They spend more time in daycare and after-school care, with larger and larger staff-to-child ratios and no real connection to adults.

This is one of the many reasons I am a proponent of flexible and remote work. Kids need adults who have time for them. That includes parents and other adults who can be involved in the community as volunteers, coaches, etc. When you work 50-60 hours per week and another 7-10 commuting, let alone traveling as part of your job, it’s impossible to be involved in the community.

I think parents are now at a disadvantage when it comes to spending the time necessary to connect with their kids. For single parents, this all gets harder to do.  This leads to many of the other issues, including kids being online, as the authors also mentioned. However, again, I don’t think it’s as simple as internet = bad for kids. I think social media and the internet mirror what we see in real life. Kids are online without any adult involvement. Instead of watching TikTok together and learning about how to be online from parents and adults, they are learning from each other and terrible adults.

I’ll repeat what I’ve said many times. Kids are often vulnerable because they have no close adults to trust and lean on for support. No one is there modeling what a mature sense of self is, so they aren’t learning it. I don’t necessarily agree with everything Drs. Maté and Neufeld said in this interview that I’m sure I wouldn’t agree with everything in their book, but on this point, I agree. Kids need trusted adults who make them feel safe and loved.

Yet we keep creating a society that makes it harder to provide that for kids. We are paying a price for that.

The best way I can describe the later section of Wonder Egg Priority is that it reads exactly as if the main character and her best friend’s groomer somehow managed to hijack the script and take over the show so that he could blame all the results of the things him and people like him did on a tiny robot girl who seems like a shitty (and ableist) personality disorder allegory.

It’s fascinating that the story somehow took this turn but if you are there because you are genuinely excited for representation of mentally ill people and abuse victims, I don’t recommend it.

The show also claims that the main character’s best friend is somehow at fault for being groomed, a narrative that they condemn in an earlier episode.

Overall, it feels like some warped psychological horror that’s supposed to be commentary on creators using mentally ill characters to push their own agendas, and like there’s a meta narrative where the script is being rewritten and the characters are going to have to fight it once they realize that something is wrong and reality is trying to manipulate them into blaming what happened to them on people who are victims of the same things that they are, but in the end that’s not what happens and the show is actually genuine about the message of its ending.

I really hope someone gets inspiration from the things it did right and creates something out of it that does not suffer from these flaws.

TLDR; The latter section of Wonder Egg Priority feels like Sawaki, Acca and Ura-Acca censored it and then rewrote it to be propaganda and it makes me uncomfortable.

(DISCLAIMER: I’m not condemning the team that worked on that show, from what I know about them I doubt they did any of this with any malevolent intentions.)

Edit: It’s also okay to be a fan of this show, what it does do right is very impressive and groundbreaking and I think that there’s a lot of value in that.

@hudabeauty Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation

The Huda Beauty Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation offers a smooth, medium-to-full coverage with a soft, airbrushed finish. Its lightweight formula blends easily, creating a flawless, natural look without feeling heavy on the skin. I appreciate its long-lasting wear and ability to blur imperfections, making it ideal for all-day coverage. However people with dry skin may need extra hydration beforehand, as the formula can emphasize dry patches if not prepped properly.

anyone who was also in bandom do you remember the frerard fic The Dove Keeper? i know it was considered a revered classic back in the day but do u ever think about how different the response to it would’ve been if it was written in fandom today like lmao dear god the fic author would’ve been in danger 😭

[theexorcistiii]

I actually love the exorcist tv show it’s so unserious like the underlying plot is that a demon cult wants to assassinate the pope. That’s it. No further motive. Also one of the 2 main characters the bald guy from that gifset is canonically bisexual (obviously) but it seems like they were accidentally queerbaiting with him & the other main character ? Also the single link it had to the movies was so goofy & apparently they’re making a 5th exorcist movie that will render the show noncanon which is so funny to me. Anyway I can absolutely understand why it got cancelled (it was not good) but I would have loved to have seen where they were going with all that.
