Something I’m thinking about on this fine morning is how there’s absolutely no way Tom and Katie don’t know about Sam’s leaping.
Both of them (and Thelma and John) were super freaked out when Sam leapt back into teen!Sam, though of course at the time it was written off as teen!Sam pulling a stunt so his big brother wouldn’t leave.
But then we have Tom’s “thanks to you, little brother” while looking right at Sam (which I think seals the deal that he knows, somehow, that that’s really Sam, especially since that’s the moment Sam leaps) in 1969 and what Katie must feel once the Beatles break up in 1970 and when Imagine comes out in 1971. The whole incident would be in incredibly recent memory for both of them since he leaped home in 1968. Not to mention the fact that teen!Sam would have absolutely no recollection of acting so strangely for that Thanksgiving, even though everyone else would. There’s absolutely no way they don’t know, and no way they don’t feel incredibly hopeless and helpless when they realize Sam’s disappeared.

🍋🥝 for the OC asks?
Thanks for the ask Taryn! :3
🍋 [LEMON] What is their kryptonite/ultimate weakness?
Violet - I think her biggest weakness can also be a strength in some cases, but has certainly caused heartbreak in the past. She tends to give the people she loves the benefit of the doubt, willing to forgive them over and over and put herself last in favor of making sure they’re ok. She forgives quickly even if she knows she deserves more, and she has a really hard time setting boundaries with people who she loves. This mainly can be seen with the relationship between her and her dad (who is manipulative and toxic and at times even violent) but because she longs for him to be “better” she is willing to put herself in harm’s way to see it through, even if it never pays off.
Emmanuel - Manny is a pretty strong person - he’s strong willed, determined, courageous, really all the things that make finding a weakness hard. But in true codependent fashion, I could say his “kryptonite” is actually Phineas, more specifically, how Manny has a hard time divorcing his own needs from Finn’s. This is something that probably extends to them both but they developed a strong codependency when they were younger, and though they’re working on it now in their relationship, Emmanuel can still be trapped in the space of focusing only on Finn’s wellness, on his needs and care, on defending him when he knows he’s wrong or protecting and sheltering him to a point of stifling. Sometimes even Manny will admit he uses it as a crutch to avoid things he finds hard to face himself - it’s comfortable for him to be able to put himself aside and focus on the chaos of Finn’s world.
Phineas - this is pretty simple but it’s truly himself. Because of all his horrific trauma, Finn battles with himself constantly. He doesn’t feel safe often so he convinces himself he CAN’T feel safe. He experienced frequent and extreme losses so he convinces himself he’ll loose EVERYONE. It’s a classic cycle that he has an exceptionally hard time breaking, though he can recognise it now which is something to be said about his recovery. His ultimate weakness is his inability to trust himself, to trust that he can survive despite having done so over and over again. His sense of self has been so warped that he is not able to see what he’s capable of. But he does try his best.
🥝[KIWI] How does their outside appearance differ from who they are?
Violet - her style and external appearance screams ‘spooky scary and a little bitchy’ but truthfully, Violet has a heart of gold. She’s witty and funny, caring and thoughtful, and even pretty goofy once she’s comfortable. She’s sort of a closet nerd and enjoys really low-key activities and crafts, and is actually a pretty amazing homemaker. But because of her affinity for black/goth/emo style and fascination with creepy things like animal bones and ghosts and horror, people assume she’s mean or cold or even kind of a freak. She doesn’t let it get to her though.
Emmanuel - to be honest, Manny looks like he could beat the shit out of you lol. He also definitely portrays a bit of a “dumb jock” aesthetic, but neither of things are at all who he is. Manny is not only a big teddy bear, but he’s also extremely smart. He loves learning and is studious and organised, a great test taker, has an excellent memory, and is also bilingual. He has a lot of love to give and can sometimes come across as a little naive because of his sweet nature, but he’s perceptive and inquisitive, and often can figure things out relatively quickly with little information.
Phineas - Finn’s appearance is often the first thing people notice and the only thing they remember about him in a lot of cases; he has albinism, which already sets him apart as being interesting looking, but aside from that he has generally pretty striking features. He commands a lot of attention to himself because of how he looks, even though he’d rather NOT have all eyes on him. Additionally, people often incorrectly assume that because of his albinism (and service dog) he is ill, feeble, or other shitty assumptions people make; this can often cause people to infantilise him (inadvertently usually) but Finn is far from the pitiful loner people see him as. He’s extremely witty and can be pretty charming when he gets comfortable, and can even be pretty obsessive when he finds something (or someone) that sparks his passion. Despite his rather subdued nature his desire to warm to others and find belonging can make him a fiercely loyal friend or partner. He’s emotional, romantic, and invested fully in the things he finds important.
In typical Axel fashion this is all very long lol thanks again for the ask!

Various Facts And Health Benefits Of Kei Apple
Tumblr media
Kei apple has become a household name in Japan since the late 1970s. It’s also known as kiwi apple or Japanese Kiwifruit (Kiwiana). This fruit was initially called Japanese Kiwi due to its similarity to the kiwis found in New Zealand. These days, however, it is commonly used interchangeably.
Today, Kei apples are grown in several countries around the globe, from Spain (where they are also called Pimpinela) to Chile. The United States produces about 75% of the total global production.
“Kei Apples” is used in cooking in various ways. For example, they can be eaten fresh or added to juices and smoothies. They can also be fermented into alcohol. Another way to enjoy them is to add their flavor to ice cream. Some food producers even freeze them and serve them as dessert bars.
Regarding nutrition, Kei apples have less sugar than regular apples but more vitamin C than regular oranges. They are also exceptionally rich in fiber. That means that these fruits will not cause you to gain weight quickly. Kei apples contain higher levels of antioxidants than any other fruit on earth. They may help prevent cancerous cells from growing and even protect your skin against sunburn.
There are two types of Kei apples: Red-skinned and Green-skinned. Both styles come in different shapes and sizes, depending on where they were grown. Generally speaking, green-skinned varieties tend to be smaller, while red-skinned ones tend to be larger.
Health Benefits Of Kei Apple (Dovyalis caffra)
Are you looking out for ways to plant Kei Apple? Then Hire a gardener for a day because Plant Judo will help you with seeds and planting methods.
1. Antioxidant-Rich: A recent study revealed that critical apples contain antioxidants such as polyphenol compounds that fight our body’s free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive oxygen molecules that destroy healthy tissue. This makes critical apples perfect for preventing diseases like cancer and heart disease.
2. Anti-Inflammatory: Due to their high anti-inflammatory properties, kei apples are suitable for people suffering from inflammation-related disorders. It helps reduce swelling and pain caused by arthritis, sore muscles, wounds, and injuries.
3. Anti-Cancer: The presence of lycopene and beta-carotene helps fight off harmful substances that cause cancer. Lycopene is an organic compound in many plants, including tomatoes, watermelons, guavas, and papayas. Beta carotene is a fat-soluble plant pigment found mainly in carrots. Both chemicals help slow cell division so that cells cannot mutate into abnormal forms.
4. Good source of Vitamin C: Like all citrus fruits, Kei apples are loaded with vitamin C. However, apples provide most of their vitamin C content during ripening, unlike other fruit. During storage, vitamin C begins to degrade and become oxidized. So, it’s important to consume fresh apples whenever possible.
5. Nutrient Rich: Like all other fruits, the nutrients found in Kei apples are vital for human health. Among the vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids, there are several notable ones.
For example, potassium aids normal muscle contraction and relaxation. Magnesium is known to prevent bone loss following menopause. And iron helps us produce blood. I do not forget that fiber plays an integral role in digestion and absorption.
6. Blood Pressure Lowering: Another benefit of consuming Kei apples is their ability to lower blood pressure. High blood pressure has been linked to chronic ailments like coronary artery disease, stroke, and kidney failure.
7. Diuretic: Consuming apples can also aid in reducing fluid retention in your body. Because they contain citric acid, these products stimulate your kidneys to excrete excess fluids out of your body. To reap maximum benefits, make sure you drink plenty of water on top of eating Kei apples regularly.
8. Digestive Aid: Apples contain pectin, a natural substance that acts as a digestive aid. Pectin promotes peristalsis, the movement of food through the intestines. When combined with fiber, it helps pass stool quickly and easily.
9. Treats constipation: You may cause constipation due to a low magnesium intake level. One way to remedy this is to eat Kei apples since they have more than double the amount of magnesium compared to regular apples.

Top 5 Glycolic Acid-Based Facewashes
If you are looking for ingredients that solve all skin-related problems like acne, pimples, open pores, melasma, etc. Just switch to a hero ingredient like glycolic acid. Glycolic acid gives healthy skin and prevents early ageing.
Glycolic acid is a component that chemically exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells and oils from your skin. Some natural plants like sugarcane and citrus fruits like grapes, oranges, and kiwi contain glycolic acid. Because of its effectiveness, it is a famous ingredient in skincare products.
How Glycolic Acid Works For Skin?
The list of benefits of glycolic acid is vast. Glycolic acid mainly is an exfoliator. By affecting the stratum corneum, it helps shed old skin cells and expose the younger, brighter layers (the outermost layer of skin).
According to Dr.Aanchal Panth, " normal skin consists of layers that are closely packed dead skin cells that are tightly bounded together." "These bonds are loosened by glycolic acid." Glycolic acid breaks the glues holding those thick, flaky layers of dead skin cells together, making them easier to peel away.
Glycolic acid is a tiny substance that can penetrate deeper into your skin and promote fibroblasts in the inner layer of the skin to increase the amount of collagen. Better collagen production promotes skin elasticity by reducing fine lines and wrinkles and ultimately makes the skin healthy.
What Skin Type Does Glycolic Acid Be Best For?
Glycolic acid is good for every skin type. However, doctors recommend glycolic acid-based products for hyperpigmentation, acne-prone, and wrinkles depending on the percentage of glycolic acid in the products. 
As we grow the potential of our skin to exfoliate itself becomes slow, so exfoliation with the help of ingredients like glycolic acid helps the newer skin to expose which is more radiant and glowing.
How Many Percentages of Glycolic Acid Are Enough?
It depends on your skin condition, for beginners,2 to 5 percent is enough. In general, it should not be more than 10%, because the higher the percentage, the more deeply it will exfoliate the skin. And over exfoliation of the skin cause a chemical burn, especially if you keep glycolic acid on your skin for a longer time. Any ingredient more than 10% should only be advised by a dermatologist.
How To Incorporate Glycolic Acid In Skincare Regime?
If you are a beginner and want to incorporate glycolic acid in your skincare, just start with face washes or cleansers, it is the most popular and impactful way to introduce the ingredient to your skin. The first step of the cleansing process is important, where they introduce rejuvenation and exfoliation to your skin.
We have made the list of the top 5 glycolic acid-based face washes to help you choose the right one. Usually, the products contain 2-5 percent of glycolic acid which is ideal for the skin, do not choose products that contain more than 5 percent of glycolic acid until your dermatologist suggests. 
Before starting our list of the top 5 glycolic-based facewash, we want to will you some precautions while using glycolic acid on your skin.
Do not over rub facewash and avoid leaving the facewash on the skin for more than 30- 60 seconds. 
Chemical exfoliation can make your skin sensitive to the sun so do not forget to apply sunscreen after the facewash with a minimum SPF of 30 or use this facewash only at night time. 
Do not mix vitamin c based products with any exfoliation ingredient, vitamin c is for a.m and glycolic acid is for p.m.
Do not use retinoids and glycolic acid at the same time, it may lead to over-exfoliation and irritate the skin. Use them on alternative nights. 
Ask your physician or dermatologist to use glycolic acid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Do not use glycolic acid or any other AHA-based facewash more than once a day.

PLANT BASED DIET
How to achieve good nutrition by eating a plant based diet
what is a plant based diet
A plant-based diet is any diet that focuses around foods derived from plant sources. This can include fruit, vegetables, grains, pulses, legumes, nuts and meat substitutes such as soy products.
People often have different interpretations of what ‘plant-based’ eating looks like. Some people still include small amounts of animal products such as meat and fish, while focusing mainly on vegetarian foods – this is referred to as a semi-vegetarian or flexitarian diet. Plans that cut out meat but still include fish are referred to as pescatarian diets. People who don’t eat meat or fish but still include dairy and eggs are referred to as vegetarian, while those who cut out any animal derived products, including dairy, eggs, honey and gelatin are referred to as vegan.
People following plant-based diets and consuming a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and pulses are likely to find it easier to meet their five-a-day target. Due to this, they are also likely to have good intakes of fibre and the vitamins and minerals that are present in fruit and vegetables, including folate, vitamin C and potassium, all of which are important for good health.

New lifestyle!
After a lot of research and analysis, trying to find something I liked and put it in my life, and not just for a week, I opted for the Mediterranea diet. from Spain and France is associated with cardiovascular health and longevity. Research around the world also links it to the prevention of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, lowering bad cholesterol, lower incidence of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and some types of cancer such as bowel and breast cancer. Fresh and natural food such as fruits, vegetables, fish, olive oil, oilseeds, grains and cereals is on the table of the inhabitants of this region. Milk and cheese are consumed sparingly, and wine is also present during meals. Red meat is rarely consumed. Sausages, canned goods and ultra-processed foods are out of the diet. In addition, they also walk a lot, do physical activity, many have the habit of taking a siesta or riding a bicycle. Thus, it is not difficult to conclude that this set of habits results in a less sedentary and stressful life. The goal is not weight loss. Choosing this dietary pattern will bring benefits to me and your health, however, eating large amounts of these foods (even those recommended in the diet) and spending fewer calories can result in extra pounds.
Tumblr media
For seven days I applied this diet in my house.
Breakfast:
Fresh herbal tea, a fruit and a Mediterranean sandwich (two slices of wholegrain bread; small piece of goat cheese; olive oil; cherry tomatoes and chopped cucumber; sea salt beaten with oregano, thyme and basil).
Morning snack:
A fruit with grated natural coconut.
Lunch:
Salad with different types of green leaves and sunflower seeds. Fish baked with herbs and spices (thyme, nutmeg, rosemary and oregano) and seasoned with olive oil. Brown rice cooked with lentils, mushrooms, oregano and carrots. A serving of sour fruit such as plum, pineapple, orange, tangerine or kiwi fruit.
Snack:
Natural low-fat yogurt with red berries, oat bran and a hint of honey. Accompanying mineral water.
To have lunch :
Vegetables soup. A slice of wholegrain bread to go with it.Tea
 Allergens
* In snacks, it is suggested that you consume peanuts, but as I am allergic, I made an adjustment and used grated natural coconut as a source of natural fat.
Tumblr media
Recipe:
 Mediterranean Sandwich:
2 slices of wholegrain bread
1 tablespoon of oil
2 slices of goat cheese
5 cherry tomatoes
4 cucumber slices
sea ​​salt to taste
Preparation: lightly toast the two slices of bread. Add flavored oil and goat cheese. Top with cherry tomatoes and cucumber, season with sea salt and serve.
 After 7 days,
of Mediterranean diet and regular physical activity I can say that my husband and I adopted this diet. In addition to feeling better, more willing, we also noticed an improvement in sleep quality and an improvement in bowel function. The diet suggests that the person consumes red wine, and we start to have this habit on weekends.
 Advise
The Mediterranean diet is simple and can be easily found in restaurants, the important thing is to offer protein options, different from red meat, such as fish, but mainly opt for fresh and natural products, without using canned products.

swings in on a vine w a margarita in my hand... howdy demons n nerds ! i’m sage, she/her n comin 2 u live frm the est tz. i am literally the worst at intros but jus know im so glad i found this cute lil group!! anyways , u know the drill! pls spank the little heart down below n i’ll come runnin 2 u for plots! also if u wanna skip the messy intro n just vibe check, here is her pinterest
Tumblr media
hey ELEANORA VALENTINE , welcome to dillon university . has anyone ever told you you’re MAIA COTTON ’s twin ? no ? well okay , i heard you are TWENTY-ONE & a JUNIOR at the university . we hope KINESIOLOGY isn’t kicking your ass too much , especially since you’re a  STUDENT ATHLETIC THERAPIST . see you at the next game, LEO .
BACKGROUND
was born in auckland, new zealand and moved to the states when she was 13. she’s still got hints of a cute lil kiwi accent!!
her dad was originally from dillon and moved the valentine’s back to take over his dad’s law firm when he decided to retire
mom is an interior designer so their home, no matter how big or small always looked something out of architectural digest
is the youngest out of 4. her three brothers happen to be triplets!! they’re 2 years older than leo
they desperately wanted a boy.. cried when leo was born and refused to call her eleanora and thus the name LEO was born and just kinda stuck with her??
rarely ever goes by her full name but is chill with all other nick names
grew up rly close to her brothers so they’re the main reason why she had gone to dillon
they are how you say.... panther royalty
the valentine triple threat is what they called them... acting as quarterback, running back and center. it was like surgery watching the boys play, every move and pass was like second nature they knew how the other moved and could predict what the other would do even if the play went off book. 
NFL teams had their eyes on the brothers even before their first game at dillon, but time and time again they proved they were destined to go to the NFL. 
they’ve been out of dillon for a year now and 2 of them are playing for the 49ers, while the other one is with the cowboys.
the role of student athletic therapist just kinda fell into leo’s lap. it started with her helping with her brothers injuries and somehow grew into helping the entire team and it all just kinda stuck with her. she doesn’t mind it though - it’s good practice considering her major is kinesiology.
PERSONALITY 
runs off of coffee and sarcasm
dorm is probably filled with books - has an ever-growing pile of books that’s on her to-read list but probably hasn’t touched it in months and keeps going back to old classics
the type to keep an agenda that’s disgustingly organized.. 10/10 would have a meltdown if it ever went missing!!
is all around nice.. will probably always give u the benefit of the doubt
likes to be right.. would rather stick a pin in her eye than admit she was wrong about something!! :/
annoyingly the kind of girl who could stay out drinking the whole night, wake up the next morning for an 8 am class and not be hungover
has the kinda personality that just makes u feel GOOD, u know jus has an infectious aura .. cld light up a room when she walks into it.. just naturally charming without trying. kinda person who has u still thinkin about her the next day after one (1) conversation.
is on the track and swimming team. couldn’t see herself as a cheerleader mainly bc she has no dance rhythm but lowkey wishes bc the uniforms are cute and what better way to support the team?
can stand up for herself if the time calls for it but will also give someone multiple chances they don’t deserve.. sis is weak and forgives too easily :/
can also throw a mean punch... it’s been proven when someone on the opposing team slapped her ass on their way off the field and her fist collided with their nose
CONNECTIONS: 
girl squad! ride or dies! friends who just absolutely get into trouble when they’re together! party friends! roommates could be fun too
a good ol friends with benefits, tinder matches, flirtationship, exes on bad terms.. her brothers were pretty protective of her so now that they’re gone i jus feel like her dating life would be thriving finally 
rivals, enemies, people who just don’t get on with her
someone she tutors.. honestly she just needs to always be going 100 miles an hour, so i imagine she’s always doing something, so this could be multiple
with that said.. someone who pulls her away from all her good doings, takes her out to chill and relax bc its deserved
someone who she meets with to help with physio.. doing little exercises and trainings with them 
someone she trains with!
 someone who is just constantly coming to her with different injuries bc they want to spend time with her lmao
also someone who constantly comes to her with the same injury bc they don’t listen to her advice.

one step ahead
this was requested by @lesbian-kiwi a while back (sometime last year) but I never got around to posting it. I’m not too sure how I feel about this but I rewrote this twice and I still feel dissatisfied with how this turned out to be. I hope everyone enjoys this regardless the mistakes and my dissatisfaction. 
words: 1513 words
pairing: spencer reid x reader
summary: you thought you were sly but spencer proves he is one step ahead of you.
Tumblr media
You saunter casually in to the pantry, holding your mug like it was the only thing that kept you grounded (in truth, it is the only thing that kept you from hightailing it back to your desk). “Hi, Spence.” You greet the Doctor, whom you had actually seen walking in to the pantry and mainly the reason why you have found yourself here in the pantry.
Spencer looks up from his own mug and when his eyes land on you, he gives you a smile. A smile that leaves your heart racing, knees shaking, and you curse him (half-heartedly, of course) for having such a beautiful smile that makes you incredibly soft and mushy. “Hi, Y/N. Getting a refill?” He motions to your mug and you nod your head. Spencer makes some space for you to stand beside him and you swallow the lump in your throat as you took the space beside him.
“My mum sent over some Green Tea she got when she went to Japan for a vacation so I figured I should try it out. Mum’s very picky with her tea so I think she must have really liked this.” You tell him as you showed him the green tea bag you have in your mug. Spencer leans over slightly to look and half of you wanted to flinch while the other half simply wanted to lean in – you can smell his cologne and it sends shiver down your spine.
Spencer nods his head, leaning back. “Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body and it is also about 30 percent polyphenols by weight, including large amounts of a catechin called EGCG and this substance can reduce the formation of free radicals in the body, protecting cells and molecules from damage. Drinking three to five cups of green tea per day seems to be optimal to reap the most health benefits…” Spencer trails off when he notices the look of awe (and is that admiration he sees?) on your face and suddenly he feels shy. He clears his throat and looks at his own steaming mug.
Snapping out of your adoration for the Doctor beside you, you cannot help but let the smile on your face grow. “I didn’t know any of those so thank you for sharing, Spence.” You point out and when he looks at you shyly from the corner of his eyes, you almost poured hot water on your hand instead of your mug, but you didn’t. So, you had saved yourself from the embarrassment. “So.”
Spencer looks at you curiously.
You clear your throat. “I heard Emily couldn’t make it for the movie thing the two of you have planned.” To be honest, you only heard about this from Garcia because she would not stop talking about how sad Spencer had looked when Emily had to cancel due to her Ambassador Prentiss flying in.
“Yes, we were supposed to be watching this Russian movie I came across and thought we would enjoy.” Spencer informs you. He had really been excited to watch Ballad of A Solider and since the film festival is conveniently showing the 1959 movie, Spencer had wanted to watch it with Emily seeing as she also enjoyed watching movies (regardless of the language). “According to the synopsis, a young Russian solider earned a medal but asked to see his mother instead and it is supposed to recount his journey of various kinds of love during wartime.”
You nod your head, hanging on to every word Spencer had just said. To be honest, you are probably going to regret this sometime in the future but since the opportunity is presenting itself, you swallowed your pride and turn to look at him. “Do you mind if I join you instead? I know I am no Emily, but I happen to be free.”
Spencer’s eyes lit up. “Really, Y/N?” A smile appears on Spencer’s face when you nod your head to his question. “That’s really great! I was really looking forward to watching the movie ever since I came across the flyer for the Russian Film Festival. As far as I know, we don’t have a case tomorrow so, is it too soon if we go right after work?”
Your heart races against your chest and you nod your head dumbly. You hadn’t exactly expected Spencer to ask you so soon – then again, you reckon he must have been really excited to watch the movie. “Sure, that’s fine with me too.”
Spencer beams at you. “Looking forward to it.”
Spencer still has a smile on his face as the two of you walk out of the outdoor theatre – the night was really nice, not too humid nor too dry. It was just perfect, surprisingly. He looks at you and the smile on his face widens even more. “Thank you for coming with me, Y/N.” He informs you shyly and you give him a smile that manages to steal his breath away. You aren’t privy to this information, but Spencer has found himself developing feelings for you for a while now. If Spencer had to place a time, his attraction to you had probably started when you actually listened to him when he began rambling away about facts and genuinely looked like you were interested in what he is talking about. When he started hanging out with you outside of the office, Spencer had been elated to find out that you are such a fun person to be around with. With your cheery disposition and your attitude towards life in general, Spencer finds himself always looking forward to whenever the two of you can exchange stories or facts about this and that.
You, on the other hand, are starting to feel slightly guilty because not only had Spencer bought the popcorn and drinks for the movie, he had also paid for your ticket. The two of you are currently walking towards the car park which was a block or so away from where the film festival is happening and despite not understanding an ounce of Russian, you had actually enjoyed the movie (you made up dialogues in your mind in place of what was actually said). “It was nothing, Spencer. Thank you for agreeing to bring me along.” You tell him, seeing your cute car in a distance.
Spencer smiles. “I enjoy spending time with you, Y/N.” He really does; Spencer swallows the lump in his throat before he calls out your name, stopping you from heading towards your car. You raise an eyebrow at Spencer. “Actually, there is something I would like to tell you.”
You slowly turn to face him.
“Actually… I had been too afraid to ask you out so Emily and I came up with this elaborate idea of Emily not being able to come with me to this festival and of course, Penelope, the romantic that she is, wanted in on our plan and well, you see, I just…” Spencer trails off slightly, gauging your expression. To his surprise, you are staring at him in shock, but Spencer can also see the blush starting to creep over your cheeks. “I like you, Y/N. More than just a friend that is, if you needed any more clarification.”
You must have entered twilight zone somewhere in between the outdoor theater and on the way to the parking lot because you definitely did not see this coming! You always had an indication that Spencer might share the same feelings as you however you didn’t want to be too full of yourself and assume things – only to end up in disappointment so you tried your hardest to just play it cool. Now, hearing all of this from Spencer’s very own mouth, you are convinced that your face almost resembles a tomato.
But before Spencer could even continue talking, you cut him off. “I have a confession to make as well.” You rub the back of your neck sheepishly and Spencer looks taken aback by what you had just said before he looks slightly wary and apprehensive. “It’s nothing bad!” You quickly rectify but Spencer still looks wary. So, you take a deep breath and exhale. “I, uh, actually I don’t understand Russian at all. Not an ounce, nope.” You shake your head but when you see Spencer about to open his mouth, you lift up your hand to stop him. “I have a massive crush on you, Spencer and I just didn’t want to ruin our friendship because what if you hadn’t liked me back?”
Spencer furrows his eyebrows before he shakes his head. “No wonder. There was a point during the movie when I turned to look at you and you looked completely lost, Y/N. You should have told me you didn’t know Russian – there was also a showing with subtitles.” Spencer informs you but then he clears his throat. “So, can I walk you to your car?”
You blink a couple of times and nod your head, a smile appearing on your face. “Of course, Spencer.”

Code Lyoko Pokemon AU
Jeremy is from the Johto region and specializes with electric and steel type Pokemon. His father was a Pokemon researcher and Jeremy wants to follow in his father's footsteps by traveling the world and discovering as many different types of Pokemon as possible. He starts his journey on a mission to collect data for the Pokemon Professors, which will hopefully benefit all of their research. His starter Pokemon, despite being from Johto, is a Beldum. When he was younger, he accompanied his father on a research trip to Hoenn when they encountered an injured Beldum. Jeremy had insisted they bring the wild Pokemon to the Pokemon center and was by its side the entire time. The Beldum had bonded with Jeremy and the two had become inseparable ever since.
Jeremy's complete Pokemon team includes his Beldum/Metang/Metagross, Magnemite/Magneton, Rotom, Porygon, Bronzor, and a Joltik/Galvantula.
Ulrich comes from Hoenn, and comes from a family of gym leaders. There's a lot of pressure on Ulrich to one day take over the gym and be Hoenn's master of fighting types. And of course, because of his family, he specializes with fighting types. His starter pokemon was a Torchic, a decision pushed upon him by his family because Torchic's evolutions are dual fire and fighting types. Ulrich, frustrated with the expectations set up for him, ran away from home to try his hand at becoming the Pokemon Champion. His thought process is that if he can accomplish something no one else in his family has, maybe they will back off and leave him alone. What he doesn't anticipate is that, if he did become the Pokemon Master, his family would pressure him to settle for nothing but the best and hold that position. The first person he meets on his journey is Odd, because he helped Odd out in a jam. Ever since then he hasn't been able to shake him, not that he really minds if he is being honest.
Ulrich's complete Pokemon team includes his Torchic/Combustion/Blaziken, Heracross, Croagunk/Toxicroak, Scraggy/Scrafty, a Rhyhorn/Rhydon, and Honedge/Doublade/Aegislash
Ulrich does catch other Pokemon that aren't fighting types at all like a Misdreavus, Spoink, and Houndour. But he tends to keep them in the PC box/safe with Professor Birch at his lab and only call on them when he needs them. Old habits with using only fighting types die really hard. Honedge is also a nod towards the sword and Ulrich's Lyoko weapon in the series.
Odd, on the other hand, unlike Ulrich and Jeremy, doesn't have any type preference whatsoever. He has more of an appearance aesthetic but even then he doesn't hold strictly to it. Odd came from a family of Pokemon lovers, and comes from Kalos. His family run a Pokemon Daycare and as such, Odd has a lot of hands on experience working with all types of Pokemon. His starter Pokemon was Fennekin, whom he loves to pet and is not too particular about keeping in their Pokeball at all times. Odd just wants to travel the globe with his Pokemon for the fun. He's not on any particular mission like Ulrich or Jeremy to accomplish a grander goal. He's just there for the ride and to make memories.
The first person Odd meets in the group is Ulrich. Odd had been rushing to the Pokemon Center with his Pokemon because of a really difficult battle he'd been in for fun. Who knew a Bonsley could pack such a punch right? At the time, Odd only had two Pokemon with him, and his Teddiursa had fainted in the previous battle. Fennekin wasn't exactly in tip top shape either but he ran into two biker goons who were trying to get him into a double battle he had no chance in winning in order to get into the Pokemon center. It was pure luck on his part that Ulrich showed up when he did, sending out his Torchic and Heracross to protect him. Ever since then, when they walked side by side into the Pokemon center, Odd had seen Ulrich as a friend for life and stuck by him ever since. And Odd is always repaying the favor, battling alongside Ulrich whenever needed in double or even triple battles. Odd was also the one who roped the both of them into Aelita and Jeremy's lives.
Odd's complete Pokemon team includes his Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox, Teddiursa/Ursaring, Magikarp/Gyarados, Eevee/Glaceon, Gligar/Gliscor, and Purrloin/Liepard
Odd has loads more Pokemon than this, such as a Meowth/Persian, Slakoth, Mime Jr., Taillow/Swellow, and a Pansage. He is also the only one to nickname all of his Pokemon. Fennekin is nicknamed Kiwi (because what else would his starter Pokemon be called even if they aren't a dog based Pokemon), Teddiursa is Lychee, Magikarp is Mango, Eevee is Avens, Gligar is Durian, and Purrloin is Aster. Most of these names are based on fruit and all of them are technically based on plants. Meowth is named Maple, Slakoth is Galen, Mime Jr. is Murphy, Taillow is Lula-Belle, and Pansage is Clover.
Delphox's ability to stare into the fire and see the fire is a nod towards Odd's old Future Vision ability and Glaceon's ability to freeze its fur and shoot it out like needles is a nod towards Odd's laser arrows. Odd, as a lover of animals, is destined to always have the most Pokemon. The Pokemon he does not carry with him are transfer to his home, where they are well loved by his family.
Yumi is the only one of the group who doesn't come from a family with a history with Pokemon. She grew up in Kanto, in Saffron City, and her family was not particularly attached to Pokemon. They didn't hate Pokemon, but they didn't really see the value of traveling with Pokemon and training with them. It was never really a desire of theirs. Yumi's starter Pokemon was an Abra, who she had found abandoned in the city. The Abra's previous owner had abandoned him because the only move the Pokemon knew was Teleport and was, in their view, impossible to train. Yumi had found the injured and scared Pokemon being harassed by a group of older kids who had Pokemon of their own. Despite being late for her martial arts lessons, Yumi had started to fight the older trainers with nothing but her fists and her martial arts skills. The trainers had laughed at her and beat her up, even having their Pokemon tackle her to try and scare her off. It hadn't worked and she fended off the three until they were fed up dealing with her. Yumi took the Abra with her to practice, hiding it in her bag and in the changing room because she was scared they'd come back. She also secret took the Abra home and hid it in her room. Of course, her parents found out that Yumi had brought a Pokemon home without their permission and they were mad. They were proud what she did, they raised her to protect anyone being treated poorly, but still angry. But they agreed that as long as Yumi took responsibility for the Abra, the Abra could stay.
Yumi's bond with her Abra was the reason she wanted to travel the world and become a Pokemon trainer. To be very honest, she's caught between wanting to compete as a Pokemon Champion or becoming a Pokemon Contest Coordinator. She finds a lot of joy in both, in the battling and in presenting the best sides of her Pokemon. She wants the world to see how beautiful they are even if her Pokemon don't follow that "cute and cuddly" mold people expect to see in Pokemon contests.
Yumi doesn't seem to specialize in any particular Pokemon type like her friends do, but she does favor psychic types a lot more than others. Her complete Pokemon team includes her Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam, Ghastly/Haunter/Gengar, Mankey/Primeape, Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir, Wobbuffet, and Shinx/Luxio/Luxray.
Because Alakazam's are able to use telekinesis, Yumi having one is a nod towards her telekinesis ability in Lyoko. And her Mankey is a nod to her own fighting prowess.
Aelita is also from Kalos, just like Odd, and specializes in Fairy Type Pokemon. Aelita's complete Pokemon team includes her starter, Dedenne, Snubbull/Granbull, Chikorita/Bayleaf/Meganium, Eevee/Silveon, Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite, and Mantyke. She has Fairy types mainly because her Lyoko form is designed as an elf and can be considered part of a fairy tale aesthetic.
Aelita's parents were also Pokemon researchers, like Jeremy's, but her father got involved with the wrong type of people to put it very mildly. Aelita has connections to the newest evil organization, known as X.A.N.A., that was trying to take over the world and stealing everyone's Pokemon. And for some reason, they are out to get her specifically. She has no memories of the past, so she doesn't know anything about her connection to them, or that her family is working alongside them. Jeremy finds her being attacked by one of the goons in the middle of a really bad rainstorms and comes to her rescue. Because the storm was getting really bad, he had no choice but to bring her to the nearest Pokemon center. He stayed with her throughout the entire night, taking care of her Pokemon as well. During the storm, the power went out, and some of the goons returned to try and kidnap Aelita. Jeremy fended them off as best he could with his Beldum, and luckily it was at that moment that Ulrich and Odd came running out to see what all the commotion was. The commotion had awoken Aelita, who was utterly astounded by their bravery and kindness.
They hadn't been out of the woods yet though. Aelita explains to the boys that she had been with another trainer, who had helped her take care of her Dedenne back in the woods. She explained that they came into the town together, and that the other girl had promised to help her get to the police station to check if maybe someone had reported her missing. They'd been attacked by those goons and Yumi had told Aelita to run when it was becoming overwhelming, insisting on holding them off with her Abra and Ghastly. Aelita had run but one of the goons, the goon Jeremy rescued her from, had broken away and caught up to her. Aelita, worried about what had happened to Yumi, insists on going to search for her. The boys agree to help her and make a plan to let Aelita get captured so they can follow the goons in the hopes that the goons had apprehended Yumi and were only holding her hostage. Aelita had never been more relieved in her life to see that Yumi was okay, just bruised up a bit. And once all five of them are together, X.A.N.A.'s goons don't stand a chance against them. Like seriously, it's crazy how five kids who just met each other are able to take down a bunch of evil adults and their Pokemon. And seeing how much danger Aelita is in, none of them are really willing to leave her to her own devices and are genuinely curious about what X.A.N.A. is up to. Why do they need Aelita? What are they plotting?
And then there's William. William is from Sinnoh, and he's considered a dark type Pokemon specialist. His starter Pokemon was a Corphish, but when the group meet him, he has a Crawdaunt. Just like in the series, William has a thing for Yumi which irks Ulrich despite the fact that she doesn't reciprocate William's feelings. His persistence actually makes her a bit uncomfortable, which only gives her Pokemon more of a reason to not trust or like William. William ends up working willingly for X.A.N.A. (as opposed to being forced in the cartoon), and was trying to gain the groups trust so that he would be able to travel with them and secretly relay to X.A.N.A. where Aelita was at all times. He genuinely wants Yumi to join X.A.N.A. alongside him, because otherwise he has to destroy her and he doesn't want to do that. He'll happily destroy the others though.
His complete Pokemon team includes his Crawdaunt, Tentacool/Tentacruel, Spinarak/Ariados, Absol, Pawniard/Bisharp, and Tyrantrum. The Tentacool/Tentacruel is a nod towards the scyphozoa that XANA used in the series to gain control of William in the first place. The Spinarak/Ariados is another nod to the series and how he was afraid of spiders but, under XANA's influence would ride the Tarantula into battle. And the Pawniard/Bisharp is a nod to his sword in a similar way Honedge is to Ulrich.

Can Hamsters Eat Fresh Fruit?
New Post has been published on https://www.petculiars.com/can-hamsters-eat-fresh-fruit/
Can Hamsters Eat Fresh Fruit?
The diet of a hamster should be based on food prepared from dry seeds, wet seeds, nuts, and green foods. However, veterinarians always recommend supplementing the diet with a small amount of fruit and vegetables that are suitable for them, as these products contain nutrients and protein hamsters need. So, yes, hamsters can eat fruits, but this should always happen under the supervision of a veterinarian and in moderate amounts.
Hamsters love fresh foods, such as fruits, but giving them inappropriately can lead to digestive disorders. Therefore, it is important to follow a course of dry feed, recommended by your veterinarian, and supplement the diet with these products occasionally and in small quantities. Also, because hamsters are prone to obesity, which is extremely harmful to their health, you need to give them low-calorie fruits.
The benefits of fruits in hamsters
In order for your hamster to remain as healthy as possible, it is essential to ensure a varied diet, high in fiber and low in fats. Keep in mind that these little rodents have a tendency to obesity if you do not measure the amount of food or treats you give them, so you need to pay close attention to their diet and follow the best possible diet for them.
You might also like my articles on whether hamsters can eat grapes, bananas, or bread.
The diet for hamsters sold in pet stores is made of seeds, nuts, grains, and green foods that are high in fiber, antioxidants, and carbohydrates. So, its diet should contain a combination of all these types of food. On the other hand, fruits are a great source of essential vitamins, fiber, and minerals for the body, among other benefits.
As you can see, giving a hamster only fruits and vegetables is a big mistake, because they do not have all the properties that these creatures need. However, if we do not introduce them into the pet’s diet, it deprives the animal of more nutrients essential for its proper evolution, resulting in a poorly developed intestinal flora.
Also, many fruits contain a high percentage of sugars, beneficial in small amounts, but very harmful in large measures. Therefore, it is essential to be well-informed about the fruits and vegetables that are good for them, as well as the right way to add them to their diet.
Proper fruits for your hamster
In addition to covering some nutritional deficiencies of dry food, fruits help provide your hamster with the amount of fluid that the body needs. In this regard, it is extremely important that your hamster always has fresh water. Here I’ll show you the best fruits for hamsters:
Pear – It has a very low caloric intake, high in fiber, vitamins A, B, C, and E.
Apple – This fruit is very beneficial for your hamster, not only because of its fiber content and important digestive properties but also because it helps strengthen its teeth.
Peach – Being made of a high-water content, they are perfect for keeping your little partner always hydrated.
Plums – Like pears, plums are very beneficial to regulate and improve intestinal transit due to their high fiber content.
Apricots – They are rich in vitamins A and C and all kinds of minerals.
Watermelon and melon – Both are mainly composed of water.
Strawberries – Rich in fiber, vitamin C and essential minerals.
Kiwi – This fruit has a low caloric intake, a large amount of vitamins C and E, and fiber.
How to give fruits to your hamster
As I said in the beginning, fruits help develop the intestinal flora of your hamster in a correct way. An incorrect diet can cause digestive problems, such as diarrhea or a lack of essential nutrients.
Ideally, start introducing these foods into your rodent’s diet since it is a cub, plain and simple. For this, it is better to follow the process gradually, which means introducing the fruits little by little, so that the body adapts and assimilates them correctly.
When you start giving fruit to the hamster for the first time, you will do it one by one to check for intolerance or allergy. This means that you will not prepare a bowl of food with mixed fruits until you are sure that these foods are good for the pet. To check if everything is ok, you will try to give a certain fruit for two or three days in a row, always as a supplement to food and in small amounts. If you notice any negative behavior or symptom of a digestive disorder, you will immediately eliminate that food.
Each breed of hamster has certain needs, which is why it is essential that you consult your current veterinarian before deciding on a diet at home. He will know how you should give it fruits and vegetables and how often.

BENEFITS OF USING VITAMIN E FOR YOUR SKIN
Why are so many skin care professionals advised to enjoy the benefits of Vitamin E to the skin? One is made up of many fat-soluble nutrients and antioxidants. Duo is a multiple wound Fights the presence of free radicals, which can cause Vitamin E oil, commonly used in lotions, creams and gels, is made from α-tocopherols. It is mainly contained in potatoes and mangoes and is gentle on the skin. You can also buy a capsule containing Vitamin E and use it directly on the skin of the face to neutralize and heal various wounds. Benefits of Vitamin E on the Skin
 Tocopherol is considered an important component of our nerve and muscle structure. It is also rich in antioxidants that help neutralize the growth of free radicals. Capsules and other skin care products made from them offer the same benefits to people of different skin types, provided they remain healthy and used regularly.
 Here are some of the best benefits of Vitamin E for the face:
 1. Anti-aging characteristics
 Vitamin E for the skin, a powerful antioxidant, fights some of the negative effects of free radicals such as premature aging and dark spots. It also protects the skin cells that form collagen, giving it a radiant glow. Therefore, this vitamin also helps reverse the effects of UV damage on wrinkles and premature skin aging.
2. Fight thin lines and acne:
 Adding seasonal fruits can also help, especially if you do this during the summer season. Fruits such as mango, kiwi, blackcurrant and blackberry contain large amounts of this vitamin. Daily intake prevents hormonal imbalances and improves the immunity of skin cells. The anti-inflammatory properties of this vitamin are also excellent exfoliators, especially for those who deal with acne scars. 3.3. Reduces sunburn
 The sun's harmful UV rays often spike the number of free radicals, causing problems of all kinds. Vitamin E is rich in antioxidants and moisturizers, so it can be used in creams and lotions to heal sunburn and exfoliation. It is important to use these products twice a day, especially in the summer and rainy season. 4. Reduce acne scars and stretch marks
 Vitamin E moisturizes the skin and promotes healthy cell regeneration. It also reduces scars and stretch marks on successful pregnant women. By promoting cell regeneration, this vitamin also stimulates the healing of injured skin cells, reducing redness and inflammation and removing scars.
5. Reduces pigmentation
 Hyperpigmentation is caused by inefficient melanin synthesis, which explains the presence of dark or discolored patches on the skin. Vitamin E for the skin is also included in whitening treatments in the form of retinoids. Our skin cannot absorb vitamin A without vitamin E, so it is best to apply a vitamin E body lotion before applying a vitamin A-based skin care product.

Do you have problems digesting your meals or are you able to digest anything? If you have trouble digesting, suffering from #swelling, gas or other digestive tract disorders, you may find relief and benefit from #digestive enzymes. Do you use it? Otherwise, the solution comes from nature. Many #foods are naturally rich in digestive enzymes: pineapple, papaya, mango, kiwi, avocado, to name a few. Even the right food pairings can be of paramount importance for the purpose of digestion and #health. The right combinations make the difference! Have you ever thought about it when you cook? Here is a winning combination: steamed broccoli and raw daikon. Broccoli consumption affects the composition and function of the human #gastrointestinal #microbiota. (]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30317146) The broccoli has been widely studied for the benefits that are able to bring to health. They are naturally rich in Sulforaphane. Sulforaphane seems to interact with a large number of biological targets that make it a potential candidate in the treatment of certain #diseases, it has potent #anti-cancer activity and helps protect your blood vessels. It's both an immune stimulant and an #anti-inflammatory. Broccoli supplements often contain glucoraphanin but lack myrosinase, putting in question their ability to provide dietary Sulforaphane (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21910945). The sulforaphane content can be further maximized by adding a myrosinase-rich food to it, such as mustard seed, Daikon radish, wasabi, arugula. The Daikon is rich in this substance mainly in the outer part of the peel that should be washed well but not removed. Raw Daikon contains also the #enzymes diastase, amylase, and esterase to aid the digestion of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins all at once. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22710810 Do you have problems #digesting your meals? 339 Kcal ( 28 prots, 12 carbs, 21 fats, 5 fiber) Ingredients are: 100 grams of salmon #Broccoli, Raw 75 g Daikon, Oriental Radish, Raw 75 g Dijon Mustard 1 Tsp Arugula, Raw 10 g Almond Butter, Unsalted 14 g . . #food #foodie #daikon #radish #salmon #lchf #lowcarb #lunch #sunday #recipes #lowcarbdiet (presso Arezzo, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpMoWVwFcDc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=imsl7ljy4mtj
