In the ever-evolving world of beauty, where trends come and go like passing seasons, there's one ingredient that has been making waves for its remarkable skincare and haircare benefits – CBD

[achromatophoric]

Upon learning of his impending transfer, the girls discuss their farewell gifts for Xavier.

Wednesday: Some would consider my gift to be quite thoughtful. It is made from the finest abacá, with a 3,300 thread count.

Bianca: Never heard of abacá.

Wednesday: It is also known as Manila hemp, which is misleading. It comes not from cannabis, as the name suggests, but from the leaf-stems of a species of banana endemic to the Philippines.

Divina: Oh! And Manila is the capital of the Philippines!

Wednesday: *nods*

Bianca: So what—is it like crazy soft or something?

Wednesday: No, but it is the strongest natural fiber. My gift has a minimum breaking strength of approximately 3,960 pounds, as opposed to hemp’s paltry 1,587.

Yoko: Breaking strength? Uh— Why is breaking strength important for bedsheets?

Wednesday: *narrows eyes* And why would I know the answer to that?

Bianca:

Bianca: So we’re NOT talking about sheets?

Wednesday: Of course not. My gift is for his neck.

Bianca/Yoko/Divina: *in unison* Oooh.

Wednesday: Though do I admit, I am unsure as to if I measured enough material.

Divina: Yeah? How long is it?

Wednesday: Nineteen—

Divina: Inches? That’s WAY too short—

Wednesday: —feet.

Divina: —for a… a tie?

Bianca: Excuse me? Nineteen feet?

Yoko: What the shit is Xavier going to do with a tie long enough to ha—

Enid: *runs up* Babe! Babe! I found like the PERFECT tree!

Wednesday: *turns* Splendid. Take me there and I shall text that fool the location.

The two immediately dash off, leaving the remaining girls staring in bewilderment until—

Divina: I just got him a shampoo and conditioner set.

Yoko: Bulk pack of deodorant.

Bianca: A gift card to Great Clips.

There’s a brief moment of thoughtful silence.

Divina: Should we like—tell Weems?

Bianca: 😒

Yoko: 😎

Divina: 🤔

Bianca/Yoko/Divina: *in unison* Meh.

*Y/n's pov*

We were at practice doing drills. I'm doing a drill, I pause when I feel eyes on me I look over and see Lauren looking at me. I didn't wanna seem rude, so I smile at her.

Lauren smiles back and we continue doing the drills, we start doing plays. During one of the plays me and Lauren collied and take a nasty fall.

We both groan as we lay on the ground. "Mm ow." I say.

I look over and see Lauren on the ground next to me holding her leg. I immediately sit up and check on her.

"I'm so sorry, are you okay?" I say.

"Yeah I'm okay, I'm sorry I didn't mean to run into you." Lauren says.

I smile. "It's okay, it was an accident."

I kneel down next to her and inspect her leg. "Are you able to walk?"

She nods, I hold my hand out. She takes my hand and I help her up.

"Thanks." Lauren says.

Lauren taps my butt and runs back to her spot. I run back go mine and we continue doing the drills. Another hour goes by, coach blows the whistle letting us know that practice has ended.

I grab my things and head to the locker room. I sit on the bench in front of my locker and mess around in my phone as the girls shower and get dressed. I pack my things and head into the bus.

After 5 minutes the girls start piling into the bus. Lauren stops in front of me.

"Can I sit with you?" She asks.

I smile and nod and move my bag. She takes a seat next to me and holds her bag on her lap.

Once everyone's on the bus we leave the stadium and head back to the hotel. We get back to the hotel and go up to our rooms.

We all lucked out this camp, we all have our own rooms. Mine and Lauren's rooms are right across the hall from each other.

We go into our room, I close the door behind me and lock it. I set my bag off to the side and take off my shoes.

I take off my shirt and shorts leaving me in my sports bra and boxers. I grab a new pair of clothes and go into the bathroom. I start the shower and strip off my sports bra and boxers and get in the shower.

I let the water soak my hair and body, I grab the shampoo. I clean my hair and rinse it and start cleaning and washing my body. After 10 minutes I finish up in the shower, I turn off the shower and step out.

I dry off and get dressed, I come back into the room and lay down on my bed. I decided to stay in tonight since I had my left over from last night.

I turn on the tv and turn on Peaky Blinders and warm up my food. I continue watching my show as I eat my dinner. It's now 9 pm, I decided to call it a night.

I turn off the tv and get ready for bed. I hush my teeth and put my phone on the charger. I turn off the lamp and fall asleep.

I end up falling asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

—————————————-

Lauren and I were on the field. We were along and doing one on one drills, I kick the ball and it flies past Lauren and into the back of the net.

Lauren smirks and shakes her head.

"You just suck." I say.

Lauren smirks and flips me off.

"Yeah you wish you were." I say.

"I mean I definitely would." Lauren says.

"W-What?" I ask.

Lauren smirks and walks towards me. I bite my lip as she walks towards me.

"What's wrong baby? Am I distracting you?" Lauren asks.

"U-Um N-No not at all." I stutter.

Lauren bends over and picks up the ball. Lauren smirks and shakes her ass a bit, I bite my lip and groan as I feel myself getting hard.

Lauren notices my bulge and smiles. "Is someone excited?"

I groan and nod. Lauren smirks and shakes her ass a bit. "Wanna touch it baby?"

"A-Are you S-Sure?" I ask.

"Yes, go on daddy. Touch it." Lauren says seductively.

I bite my lip, I place my hand on her ass and squeeze it a bit. Lauren moans, I smirk and slap her ass Lauren moans and laughs a bit.

"Ahhh fuck daddy." Lauren moans. "Please."

"Please what baby?" I ask.

"Please daddy I need you inside me. Please I need you." Lauren begs.

I smirk. "Patience baby."

I smash my lips against hers. Lauren makes out with me as I lay her on the ground in the grass. I kiss her neck, I take off her shirt and bra and toss them off to the side. I kiss her neck down to her chest, I kiss and suck on her boobs. Lauren moans in pleasure and runs her fingers through my hair.

I kiss from her chest down to her stomach. I kiss and stomach and leaving hickys here and there. Lauren moans in pleasure and runs her fingers through my hair. I kiss from her stomach down to her shorts, I fiddle with her shorts and lock eyes with her silently asking for permission. Lauren nods, I slide her shorts and panties down her legs and toss them off to the side.

I kiss her inner thighs and suck on them leaving hickys. Lauren moans.

"Stop teasing Y/n." Lauren moans.

I smirk, I kiss her core and run my tongue over her folds. Lauren moans, I slip in a finger inside her and finger her. Lauren moans, as I finger her. I eat her pussy as I continue fingering her, I add a second finger and continue pumping my fingers inside her as I eat her out.

Lauren moans in pleasure. Her legs buckle and shake in pleasure as I continue fingering her and eating her out. I can tell she's close as her walls clench around my fingers.

"F-Fuck, Y/n I'm gonna c-cum." Lauren moans.

I continue eating her out as I finger her faster and faster. Lauren screams in pleasure and cums all over my face and fingers. I help Lauren ride out her high.

I lick and clean up her sticky mess. I lick and suck her juices off my fingers and wipe her cum off my face.

Lauren flips us over and pins me against the grass. She kisses my neck, I moan in pleasure Lauren takes off my shirt and bra and tosses them off to the side.

Lauren kisses from my neck down to my chest. She kisses and sucks on my boobs, I moan in pleasure. Lauren kisses from my chest to my stomach, she kisses and sucks on my stomach leaving hickys here and there.

I moan and run my fingers through her hair. Lauren kisses down from my stomach to my shorts, she fiddles with my shorts silently asking for permission. I nod, giving her permission.

Lauren slides my shorts and boxers down my legs and tosses them off to the side. My dick springs out once it's freed from its confinement. Lauren gasps in shock and touches my dick.

"Shit baby, you're huge." Lauren says.

"T-Thanks." I moan.

Lauren kisses and licks my dick here and there. I moan in pleasure as I feel myself getting hard. Lauren takes my dick in her hand and slowly strokes my dick.

"S-Shit." I moan.

"Fuck baby, you're so hard." Lauren says as she continues stroking my dick.

Lauren spits on my dick covering it in spit, she strokes my dick faster and faster. I moan in pleasure, Lauren strokes my dick a bit faster.

"Fuck.... Lauren please. I need to cum, please let me cum." I moan.

Lauren strokes my dick faster and faster. "S-Shit keep doing that and I'm gonna cum buckets." I moan in pleasure.

Lauren smirks and strokes my dick faster than before.

"F-Fuck. Lauren baby, I'm gonna cum." I moan.

Lauren strokes my dick as fast as she can. I moan in pleasure as I feel my balls tighten.

Cumshot:

"L-Lauren....baby... I'm gon-" I'm unable to finish my sentence. I can't take it anymore, my cum flies up into the air landing on my stomach, my lap and all over her hand.

"Wow baby, that was a very sexy cumshot." Lauren says.

I moan in pleasure as Lauren strokes my dick. Cum slowly oozing out of my dick as she continues stroking it.

Lauren licks up the remaining cum, she licks the cum off her fingers and hand. Lauren switches positions, she gets on top of me. She push my tip in her and slowly sinks down on my dick.

We both moan in pleasure. "F-Fuck." I moan.

Lauren moans and starts sliding up and down on my dick. "S-Shit." I moan.

Lauren moans and slides up and down on my dick faster. "F-Fuck, I feel so full with you inside me." Lauren moans.

"F-Fuck baby. You're so wet and warm." I moan.

Lauren slides up and down on my dick faster and harder. I moan and place my hands on her hips.

"S-Shit right there Lauren. I'm gonna cum fucking buckets." I moan.

"M-Me too." Lauren moans.

She continues to ride my dick going faster and faster. I moan in pleasure as I feel my balls tighten.

Creampie:

I can't take it anymore, I bust my load deep inside her pussy. Lauren moans and cums all over my dick. We both moan as I shoot ropes of thick sticky cum inside her painting her walls white.

I help Lauren ride out her high, once we both come down from our highs I slowly pull out of her. Cum oozes out of her and onto the grass.

Lauren moans as cum continues to ooze out of her. "F-Fuck there's so much." She moans.

"S-Sorry about that." I moan.

She giggles. "Don't be baby, you finished in the right place."

—————————————-

I'm woken up to my alarm blaring through the room. I groan, I roll over and turn off my alarm. I look down and notice that I'm hard as my dick is throbbing.

I sigh, I take off my pants and boxers, I wrap my hand around my dick and slowly stroke my dick. I moan as I stroke my dick.

"S-Shit." I mutter.

I stroke my dick faster and faster. I close my eyes and continue to stroke my dick as I picture myself fucking Lauren and cumming inside her. I moan in pleasure as I feel my balls tighten, I stroke my dick faster than before.

I can't take it anymore. I moan and cum, cum flies out and lands on my abs, on my thighs, on my stomach and on the sheets.

I moans and slowly stroke my dick as cum continues to slowly ooze out of my dick and oozes onto the bed.

My phone buzzes, I grab my phone and check it.

Lauren: Come to my room when you get a chance. I'm bored and want to talk to you about something.

Me: Okay, I'll be over in a bit.

Beauty treatments on a budget :

Hi! Here is a list of beauty treatments on a budget so you can feel your best without spending much.

Hair : oil on length and ends 2x a week for an hour at least. It protects your hair when you're shampooing, nourish it and makes it softer. I mix almond oil, grapeseed oil and jojoba oil. I also put a few drops of essential oils for it to smell nice, mix everything in a dropper bottle.

Nails : heavy hand cream & cuticle oil every night. You're gonna have very soft hand, helps with aging for your hand as well and your nails are going to be the best version of themselves. Don't forget to put oil under the free edge of your nails. For hand creams I recommend : Khiel's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve and The Body Shop Hemp cream. For nail oil : The Body Shop Almond nail & cuticle oil and homemade mix of castor oil + jojoba oil + essential oil.

Body : body cream after every shower plus a little massage (especially on your legs). It can be annoying but it helps your skin so much and the massage helps with blood circulation.

Face : EXFOLIATE. twice a week, followed by a very hydrating face mask. Works wonder. Of course do your skincare routine.

I also recommend to eat healthy and balanced (yes, eat that burger on your sunday brunch, remember to eat your veggies for dinner) and to move your body (at home workout, the gym, going on very long walks, running... possibilities are endless).

Hope it helped !

Snowbird Ann here: x_x I have Fennel growing in my front yard. That stuff...it tastes like black licorice and it's stringy like celery. But when it goes dormant, it leaves stalks that would be great building materials. Med cat/builders could get a fresh stalk, soak it in water to make it bendy and shape it into whatever. If I remember I'll go out and snap a picture of the dormant Fennel tomorrow.

Fennel is actually suuuuuuuuper useful for dozens of reasons. It's related to parsley and has been naturalized all over the world because humans find it so useful.

The cats could use it for:

-Funerals This herb can be STINKY. This could absolutely be one of the funeral herbs that elders rub onto the deceased, especially since it's non-toxic.

-Cooking It's full of fiber meaning it can be a good supplement even for cats, if not consumed in excess. It's also got potassium, manganese, calcium... They can't taste sweet but that licorice-y flavor would come across just fine. It's actually used in sausages a lot.

-Alcohol If your Warriors drink responsibly. And know how to distill. Mead made from honey would still be easier but fennel was used for health tonics in the middle ages... and then eventually got used to make absinthe.

-Insect repellent This one's actually huge because the OTHER big bad bug buster is mint... and all mint is toxic to cats. This is a really good non-toxic insect repellent for warriors next to lavender.

-"Toothpaste" Not like, a PASTE but, a sort of... sticky mouthwash poultice. Fennel's actually super good for oral health, eliminates bad breath, and fights plaque buildup; and remember, Our Friends Mint & Co is toxic to cats. You can make it into an oil and help a warrior with a gum problem. It's especially good at fighting streptococcus, which is one of the most common infectious bacteria in wild cats.

-General medicinal purposes Helping clean eye infections is just one medicinal use, fennel is useful for all sorts of ailments. It's anti-inflammatory, it's antibacterial (but not as good as honey), can help with digestion...

Historically it's also been associated with helping to treat colic in babies and estrogen-related issues like menopause and milk production, which is actually NOT proven with modern studies... but I think the idea is just cool enough to hand wave the science away, I would use it just to have an herb for colicky kits. It's weird that colic has never shown up in canonical kits before!

But...

Building use?

Probably not. You've noticed it's stringy-- that's actually where fennel gets its name. Fennel = Foenum = Latin for Hay. It's more like hay in consistency than twine and would be too soft to build with.

For strong material, you're just gonna want plain old wood. Twigs, branches, anywhere you can find fennel you're also going to find bushes or trees that'll make better beams.

For twine? Skip the fennel entirely with its short stalks and just get some tall grass. Or, if you've got long-haired cats, they can make yarn out of shed fur if they collect enough of it. Better yet, if you've got access to flax? Then you're REALLY cooking with fire, that bad boy can be made into fabric, rope, clothing... Don't even get me STARTED on industrial hemp, you could weave reality itself out of that popstar. Paper, clothes, canvas, shampoo, lamp oil, rope, bombs, you want it? It's YOURS my friend--

Anyway

TL;DR stick to the herbal uses for fennel. You're better letting dormant fennel re-grow because it's better in the paws of your medcats than your warriors.

I hope this isnt a weird ask. But I know you said you don't use products in your hair but what shampoo or conditioners do you use to keep it fluffy??

i don't use a conditioner and I wash my hair with some hemp shampoo like 2-3 times a week (I scaled back and went natural in COVID so it doesn't get nearly as greasy as fast

[mush-dooms]

a list of dry shampoos I have tried, ranked. literally no one asked for this.

foxybae- dirty girl. $10 at tj maxx, leaves no residue even on my dark hair, smells nice but not too strong, ACTUALLY WORKS for reducing greasiness. hard to find in stores. cruelty free but does have biotin, which i am assuming is animal-based since the product isn't advertised as vegan

batiste naturally- coconut milk and hemp. $9 but small and hard to find in stores. love the smell but does take some work to blend in the white cast. leaves a weird residue texture similar to light hairspray but decent w/ grease. vegan and cruelty free.

acure dry shampoo- rosemary and cocoa. $12. specifically for dark hair so doesn't leave a white cast. doesn't have a much of a scent :( good for psych hospitals since it isn't an aerosol (lmao); it's a powder you just sorta massage in. vegan and cruelty free. hard to get the amount you need right-- def takes some trial and error.

batiste brunette. $9 but decently sized. absolute dogshit. leaves a brown cast on EVERYTHING-- my mirror, my hands, i was sneezing brown for a day or two, even makes your shower water brown. it does rinse out and doesn't stain but still very annoying to have to clean my mirror. not even that good at removing greasiness.

Cute, cozy ways to survive winter

- buy a winter-ish tea to warm you up in the morning and the evening. You can also make your own mix (I love cranberry and elderberry)

- take vitamin D3 to boost your mood and prevent seasonal depression

- take beta carotin to have a glowy, tanned skin even without the sunlight

- get a good quality jacket from a material like wool or hemp (eco), and yes, it will cost a lot, but it's worth it. It keeps your warmer than any cheaper jacket and will last longer. A tip from a broke girl: I started to save up money in June. Also I search only in second-hand stores. I also recommend a faux fur. You can already find nice finds for 90€

- few times a week, make yourself a little bath for your feet. After a cold day, pour hot water into a bowl and put some nice bathing salts or etheric oils, I usually do smth that smells like pine trees. Super relaxing and warms your feet ^^

- read winter-ish books. They help to romanticize the cold time and make the season much more special

- get yourself a nice thick pair of socks that you will enjoy wearing during the winter

- dress warm. I have a special thermal set that I always put under my clothes. Avoid wearing jeans, for they will only make you freeze. Wear thick sweaters (I love cashmere, I bought one cheap in a second hand store), or long warm skirts or dresses (they make me feel girly and special during the cold time) remember, when you buy expensive, good quality clothes keep them in natural colors so they're universal and timeless. Remember: the time of cute outfits is over, now we're in the survival mode

- you can add yourself some color with pretty gloves and hats. I love wearing slavic scarves during the winter to honor my heritage

- when buying a shower gel, perfume, shampoo or body lotion peak smells that remind you of winter. I go for mandarine/ orange scents 😊🍊

- drink vitamin c in the morning!!!

- choose a thicker cream for your face, nothing water-based. Your skin needs special care and protection during the winter. I have an acne prone, oily skin, and I still choose thicker creams, so don't be afraid to do the same. My go-to for winter is a levera cream for sensitive skin and a black cumin seed oil. I also like products from PinusVital.

- uv still exists during winter so don't forget a sunscreen!

- decorate your apartment, room or house with winter decor. I'd defiently focus more on winter related things since they will last until March. Christmas things tend to be thrown away much quicker after Christmas. There's so many cute ideas!

- get yourself a sun clock. It's a lamp you put by your bed, which imitates the sunshine. It's especially useful in early mornings since we humans aren't programmed to be waking up in full darkness. It helps to wake up your body :)

- get yourself a bunch of candles and light them in the evening. Element of fire has always been crucial for our ancestors during these trying times

- every single week plan to do something new. It can be finding a new song or new album, going to a restaurant or a coffee shop you've never been to before, learning something new, visiting a place you haven't seen yet, trying out a new recipe, even taking a different rode back from work/school, write a new poem, start a new book, watch a new movie, keep yourself entertained by little things

- out of the same principle, try to redecorate or change placement of furniture from time to time. Our brains get easily bored and especially during winter it can be very depressing. Brains need the change to stay healthy and fit

- especially during cold times, a community is really important. Even if you're an introverted person, it doesn't mean you should stay alone all the time. Humans are social beings, and we need contacts to one another. During winter months and long evenings, loneliness can be very hard. Try looking for a local book club or knitting club or any other club you'd enjoy. Download Bumble BFF it's an app that helps you to find friends! Volunteer at your local senior house or even your local dog shelter. Being constantly alone has literally never done anyone any good.

- burn incenses to boost energies in your household (any time it's needed, of course if you believe in stuff like this :) ) I recommend orange incense (brings luck and happiness)

- spend time outside. During the week I barely have time but every weekend I try to go on a walk possibly out in the nature. Your mental state regulates this way. Just 15 minutes of walk outside each day can boost your mood. Believe me, it comes from a person who struggled a lot with depressions.

- don't forget to eat well. You burn more calories during the winter because your body uses lots of energy to keep itself warm. Eat regular, well-balanced food portions. I love vegetarian food magazines that offer amazing seasonal recipes, so you cook with vegetables and fruits that actually grow during the winter. I think it adds more magic and meaning to the season to cook with seasonal food.

- wake up early. And early can be different for every person, but sleeping in every day is not proven to be healthy. Sleeping in causes chronic diseases, slows down your metabolism, and can cause social problems. Of course, there's nothing wrong with having one slower day, but having a crazy sleeping schedule can get you in sleep debt that will not result in anything productive.

- pick projects you want to accomplish during winter like for example my projects are: learn about local birds and mammals, make a little house in my local forest, learn how to diy fairy houses, learn how to knit :)

❄️Remember that winter time is the time to slow down and relax. Look around at nature and see how everything is seemingly dead and waiting for the spring. Don't worry if you're not being great all the time or constantly achieving new milestones because it's totally fine to calm down after many months of work. I know that the capitalism convinced us that we should always work, no matter what, but I just want you to remember that nature intended otherwise and of you're more tired and sleepy during these months that's totally normal. Just be kind to yourself.❄️

Character Intro: Damia (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- Ms. Bare by some of the male deities in the pantheon

The Ambrosia Goddess by the people of Olympius

Dewy by Pan

Age- 43 (immortal)

Location- Hearthwood neighborhood, New Olympus

Personality- She's an endearing naturalist- wholeheartedly attached to the outside world with a deep love & respect for nature. She enjoys her time outdoors, either by herself or with company. She's also serene, earthy, and observant. She's pansexual & is polyamorous.

She has the standard abilities of a goddess except shapeshifting. As the goddess of naturalness her other powers/abilities include ambrosia generation/manipulation, photokinesis, absolute restoration (restoring something back to its natural state), purification, energy matter manipulation, dew generation/manipulation, vitakinesis (healing), limited ecokinesis (nature manipulation), feromonikinesis (pheromone manipulation), limited cosmetic manipulation, and feromonigenesis (pheromone generation).

Damia splits her time between New Olympus & the state of Arcadia.

Her primary abode is her cottage in the Hearthwood neighborhood of New Olympus. The interior design is naturalistic with wood flooring, bamboo shades on the windows, stone countertops & wood cabinets in the kitchen, various woodland plants and flowers hanging from the ceiling, cotton, linen, & vegan leather furniture, as well as jute, wicker, and rattan furniture pieces. The color scheme is sage, cream, brown, forest green, & beige. In the backyard there's a small stone-lined freshwater pool, a garden, a compost pile, and a small greenhouse.

Damia has a plethora of pets! Birds such as cockatiels, canaries, lovebirds, parakeets, & greenfinches. There's also a tabby cat named Moss and two yorkshire terriers named Oat & Barley.

She primarily gets around by riding her bike, walking, and public transportation.

In Arcadia, Damia will stay at the commune of her friend/lover Pan (god of the wild, satyrs, shepherds, & rustic music).

She'll usually start off her mornings with an at-home session with her acupuncturist followed by an extended class of hatha yoga at the Zenesphere yoga studio.

She's fluent in Old Greek and Minoan.

When Damia bathes, she likes using her own vegan cruelty-free soap bars. Her personal favorite scents are the bergamot-mandarin & the clover-aloe. If Damia's not going anywhere or is planning to stay at home for a while, she can go a few days without bathing or showering.

While wearing clothes, more often than not, she doesn't wear undergarments- like a bra & panties. At home and when she's sleeping, she's nude.

Damia is a disciplined vegan. She doesn't eat food or use products derived from animals. All her clothes are vegan too, bought from ethical vegan fashion brands. Staples of vegan clothing include the use of fabrics like hemp, cotton, bamboo, soya-bean fiber, & banana wool. This also includes faux leather as well as ethical and sustainable jewelry. She's also a dedicated recycler!

A typical breakfast for her is a big bowl of Earthly Harvest rice cereal with coconut milk. She also enjoys the Golly Grains fruit medley cereal, roasted corn avocado toast, sweet sesame tahini oatmeal (topped with sliced apricot, toasted pistachios, & pomegranate seeds), chia pudding, and oat flour pancakes (topped with sliced bananas & organic coconut syrup). She's also a fan of the vegan breakfast burrito from The Bread Box (added with scrambled tofu, mushrooms, roasted sweet potatoes, and creamy tahini sauce).

She's a fan of wearing body jewelry!

A notable physical feature of Damia are her long dark brown dreadlocs. She likes decorating them with shells, hair cuffs, hair wires, & hair jewelry. She swears by the Hairology soap free shea butter shampoo bar, the Olmorfia clarifying detox shampoo, as well as the Glory's Crown castor oil deep conditioner and healthy hair oil blend.

Her fashion style is totally bohemian. Staples in her closet include oversized sunglasses, shawls, ties, & headbands, eclectic prints, flowy maxi skirts and dresses, halter tops, peasant blouses, tube tops, as well as quirkly embellishments. Damia's favorite fashion brand that focuses on the bohemian style (and is also ethical & vegan) is Olive + Willow, started by a dryad fashion designer named Wren Evergreen who she's also friends with!

A go-to drink for her is a lychee martini. She also likes mineral water, aloe vera juice, coconut milk, orange juice, coconut water, lychee juice, sparkling mint infused water, ginger ale, pomegranate juice, gin martinis, good farmer cocktails, peartinis, shirley temples, her homemade spiced strawberry-goji berry smoothies, botanical beer, cashew milk, & honeydew martinis. Usuals from The Roasted Bean includes a small chestnut praline almondmilk latte, a large iced green tea, and an olympian sized grapefruit-ginger splash.

Damia makes her own plant based vegan butter.

In the pantheon, she's known for her tasty homemade granola.

The superfood salad along with a small spinach soup is her go-to order at The Bread Box.

Damia typically doesn't wear makeup. She firmly believes that makeup should accentuate one's beauty, not cover it. When she's in the mood to wear cosmetics, Damia is a fan of the makeup brand Apothecary, created by Hygieia (goddess of hygiene & cleanliness). Her go-to products to use are the illuminating super gel lightweight dewy highlighter, the hydro grip hydrating makeup primer, the talc-free brightening blush in the shade "Blessed", the shine on non-sticky lip gloss in the shade "Almond", the super skin tint sunscreen foundation in the shade "Caramel Sugar" (a medium shade with golden olive undertones), and the non-toxic cruelty free nail polish color "Sugar Cookie," a sheer cream shade.

She loves snacking on air fried plantain chips.

Damia had a full frontal spread in the men's magazine owned by Zeus (god of the sky, thunder, & lightning). A lot of beings considered it daring when her thick unshaved pubic hair was shown in the nude shoots. She doesn't understand the discord her photos started up on Fatestagram.

She has quite the book collection on botany and anthropology.

Her primary means of income comes from teaching environmental science at New Olympus University. She also writes for the beauty section in Vital Essence magazine. With her own personal endeavors, Damia owns a small all-natural shop in the Hearthwood neighborhood called Oasis. Products sold there include protein powders, nutritional supplements, artisinal body products (like raw cocoa & shea butter), and even healing crystals. The store has its own official website.

A guilty pleasure for her are vegan spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce. She gets them at Garden Gatherings, a vegan restaurant owned by Pasithea (goddess of hallucinations & relaxation).

Damia's best friend in the entire pantheon is Nymphe (goddess of self-care). They call, text, & hang out with each other all the time. She's also good friends with Nárkosi (goddess of sedation), Demeter (goddess of the harvest & agriculture), Ichnaea (goddess of tracking), Spermo (goddess of grains), Kópros (god of manure & excrement), Hesychia (goddess of quiet, stillness, rest, & silence), Aegle (goddess of good health), Pherusa (goddess of substance & farm estates), Epione (goddess of soothing pain), Thilasmós (goddess of nursing), Elais (goddess of oil), Apheleia (goddess of simplicity), The Ourea (esteemed mountain gods), Corymbus (Cory) (god of the ivy), Anatole (goddess of sunrise), Gymnasia (goddess of excercise & gymnastics), Elpis (goddess of hope), Sponde (goddess of libations), Philotes (goddess of sex, friendship, & affection), Sardo (one of The Nesoi), Hestia (goddess of the hearth), and Priapus (god of fertility, vegetable gardens, livestock, sexuality, & masculinity).

She greatly admires Gaia (goddess of the earth). She met the great goddess herself when she was invited to her estate in Meteora. Damia was more than happy when she was allowed to ride Gaia's dragon Gwyndern.

Her favorite frozen treat is dragonfruit sorbet.

Damia is a lover of Philotes and Priapus. Her current main lover is a lotus eater named Ambrose. They have had four ways a few times.

Her first lover was Cyamites (god of beans).

She can play the acoustic guitar, ukulele, mandolin, & conga drum.

A brand new business venture she's stepping into is a raw vegan restaurant called akatérgastos- scheduled to open up in the Queenstown neighborhood. The restuarant is currently in construction. The hopeful appeal is that everything served in the restaurant is vegan, non-dairy, and gluten free- with nothing being cooked over 120 degrees. Pan, Nymphe, & Priapus were financial backers. If the grand opening is a success, Damia plans for two more locations- in Arcadia and the Hearthwood neighborhood.

Her favorite dessert are the mini fruit medly tarts from Hollyhock's Bakery.

She once spent a long weekend at The Lytêrios Oasis (a nudist resort) with Nymphe, Sardo, Hesychia, and Philotes.

In her free time Damia enjoys gardening, sunbathing, reading, swimming, football (soccer), surfing, volleyball, going to flea markets, cloud surfing, meal prepping, hiking, mountain climbing, going to the spa, horseback riding, photography, sailing, bird watching, & making love.

Her favorite meal is spicy kale with coconut fried rice.

"Being natural isn't a statement. It's the closest thing you can get to being yourself."

Vegan Products for Beginners: Tips, Brands, and Nutritional Insights

Introduction to Vegan Products

Hey there! Have you ever wondered what all the buzz about Vegan Products is? Well, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into the world of vegan products, which are items that do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. Veganism isn’t just a diet; it’s a lifestyle choice that prioritizes compassion and sustainability. Whether you’re a curious newbie or a seasoned vegan, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about vegan products.

History of Veganism

Early Beginnings

The roots of veganism can be traced back to ancient civilizations that advocated for non-violence towards animals. However, the modern vegan movement began in 1944 when Donald Watson coined the term “vegan” and co-founded the Vegan Society in the UK. This marked a significant shift in how people perceived and practiced plant-based living.

Evolution Over the Decades

Since the 1940s, veganism has evolved from a niche dietary choice to a mainstream movement. The rise of environmental awareness, animal rights activism, and health consciousness has propelled veganism into the spotlight, leading to a surge in demand for vegan products.

Types of Vegan Products

Food and Beverages

Plant-based Proteins

Gone are the days when vegans struggled to find protein sources. Today, plant-based proteins like tofu, tempeh, and seitan offer delicious and nutritious alternatives to meat. Brands like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods have revolutionized the market with their meat substitutes that mimic the taste and texture of traditional meat.

Dairy Alternatives

Whether it’s almond milk in your coffee or cashew cheese on your pizza, dairy alternatives have made it easier than ever to enjoy creamy, delicious products without the guilt. Oatly and Daiya are just two of the many brands offering fantastic dairy-free options.

Personal Care Items

Vegan Skincare

Looking for cruelty-free beauty products? Vegan skincare brands like The Body Shop and Herbivore Botanicals ensure that you can pamper your skin without harming animals. These products often feature natural, plant-based ingredients that are gentle on your skin and the environment.

Haircare Products

Vegan haircare is another booming industry. Brands like Lush offer shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that are free from animal-derived ingredients and harsh chemicals.

Clothing and Accessories

Vegan Leather

Say goodbye to leather made from animal hides. Vegan leather, often made from materials like polyurethane or innovative alternatives like pineapple leaves (Piñatex), offers a stylish and ethical option for fashion lovers. Brands like Matt & Nat lead the way in chic, sustainable vegan accessories.

Sustainable Fabrics

Sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, bamboo, and hemp are making waves in the vegan clothing industry. These materials are not only eco-friendly but also incredibly comfortable and stylish.

Household Products

Cleaning Supplies

Cleaning your home can be ethical too! Vegan cleaning supplies from brands like Seventh Generation and Method ensure that no animals are harmed in the process of keeping your space spotless.

Home Decor

Vegan home decor is an emerging trend, with products like cruelty-free candles, plant-based paints, and sustainable furniture gaining popularity among conscious consumers.

Benefits of Using Vegan Products

Health Benefits

Nutritional Advantages

Vegan products often pack a nutritional punch. Plant-based diets are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can help boost your immune system and overall health.

Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases

Studies have shown that a vegan diet can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. By choosing vegan products, you’re not just being kind to animals but also to your body.

Environmental Benefits

Lower Carbon Footprint

Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. By opting for vegan products, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and help combat climate change.

Conservation of Resources

Producing plant-based foods requires fewer resources like water and land compared to animal agriculture. This means that choosing vegan products helps conserve vital resources and promotes sustainability.

Ethical Benefits

Animal Welfare

One of the primary motivations for many vegans is animal welfare. By using vegan products, you contribute to reducing the demand for animal exploitation and cruelty.

Human Rights Considerations

The vegan movement also intersects with human rights issues, advocating for fair labor practices and the ethical treatment of workers in the supply chain.

Challenges of Vegan Products

Accessibility and Availability

While vegan products are becoming more mainstream, they may still be hard to find in some areas. Rural or less-developed regions might have limited options compared to urban centers.

Price Differences

Vegan products can sometimes be more expensive than their non-vegan counterparts. This price disparity can be attributed to various factors, including production costs and market demand.

Mislabeling and Greenwashing

Not all products labeled as “vegan” are truly vegan. Some companies engage in greenwashing, using misleading claims to appear more eco-friendly than they are. It’s essential to research and verify product labels to ensure authenticity.

How to Identify Authentic Vegan Products

Reading Labels

Become a label detective! Look for clear indications that a product is vegan. Ingredients lists and allergy information can provide clues about the product’s contents.

Recognizing Certifications

Vegan Society Trademark

The Vegan Society Trademark is a reliable certification that ensures a product is free from animal ingredients and has not been tested on animals.

PETA-Approved Vegan

PETA’s certification is another trusted mark that guarantees the ethical standards of vegan products.

Debunking Myths About Vegan Products

Nutritional Deficiencies

One common myth is that vegan diets lack essential nutrients. However, with careful planning, you can get all the nutrients you need from plant-based sources.

Taste and Texture Issues

Many people believe that vegan products don’t taste as good or have a strange texture. Thanks to advancements in food technology, this is no longer the case. Many vegan products taste just as good, if not better, than their non-vegan counterparts.

Limited Options

The notion that veganism limits your options is outdated. The market is brimming with a variety of vegan products that cater to every need and preference.

Idk if tarot can do this, but can you PLEASE find out where Megan thee stallion is getting her BUNDLESSSS. THEM WIGS THEM WEAVES THE HAIRPIECE. I NEED TO KNOW. HELP A GIRL OUT.

Anon you're so silly for this 😭

Mother of Earth + Ace of Water

An older woman or older feminine energy it seems? Someone who has been a celebrity hairstylist for a long time. They are really good at taking care of Megan's hair. They have gentle hands or magical hands. They could give great shampoo massages or something lol.

I'm not picking up on what hair bundles she gets but it could be from a older brand or a brand that's been around for a long time.

Megan prefers to use something familiar. So it could be a brand her mother or grandmother used. It has a certain scent to it as well. Like hemp oil, alma oil, etc. Could be Indian hair extensions as well.
