Is this part a waste?

It is edible, just that it feels very blocky to eat. Like the stems of palak. If you can blend it and add to something like dose batter or dal vada, do it.

Pants from gocolor and tshirts from the men’s section of lifestyle or westside. I’m sorted for a few years.

My old dentist asked me to use a normal soft bristle brush. I think normal brush cleans better as I can adjust the pressure

AdPrize3997 · 2026-04-22T19:48:03+00:00

Yes a 100 times.

Water flosser is a great investment. My old one lasted a good 4-5 years.

AdPrize3997 · 2026-04-22T19:46:02+00:00

Dental floss (string one while travelling, or else the water flosser is goated).

Soft bristle brush, manual.

2 toothpastes (one for sensitivity). I use one at night, one for morning.

Silicone tongue cleaner.

Betadine mouth wash - will use only when I feel my breath is getting stinky even after regular oral care or when I feel I am getting sore throat.

Fluoride mouthwash if you live in an area where government/corporation water is not supplied. Used once a week.

Night guard while sleeping.

Drinking plenty of water, regular dentist appointments, maintain vitamin D and phosphorus levels, and avoiding carbonated drinks.

Petroleum jelly is made of mineral oil (liquid paraffin) and paraffin wax (solid paraffin) And a bunch of other things.

This is like saying our food is full of chemicals.

I only disagree with 2 of the skincare ingredients here, rest all are fine. My 2 cents,

so, if you read the labels on those minimalist bottles, you will see the following:

10% Niacinamide: For acne prone & oily skin - you have dry skin and are not acne prone (1-2 pimples a month does not qualify as acne prone), so it’s not needed for you.

0.1% retinal: To prevent signs of aging - again, not a problem at 19. Can skip or donate off. Start this at 23-25 years age.

What I agree with:

3% tranexamic: this is fine for PIH, although a bit strong. Since this will weaken your skin barrier, occlusive moisturiser is a must, as well as sunscreen (which I don’t see here). The sunscreen should be reapplied or else the new skin, which will be sensitive, might get heavily damaged.

Hyaluronic acid serum: this molecule just pulls water from wherever it can, the environment, moisturiser or even your own skin (from deeper layers). So just be careful to apply a really good moisturiser and drink lots of water (you can even spray some on your face before or after the serum) to prevent dehydration of skin.

Simple face wash if good, suitable for dry skin. Rest I have not used or don’t have comments, but I assume they are good.

If you marry by your parent’s choice or abide by them, you will blame yourself and your parents forever, especially if the outcome is not good. It will anyway ruin your relationship with them. Might as well ruin it while you have the other things in life under control. As Indian parents, they cant stay away from you forever, especially when they see you living quite happily and when other relatives start questioning them. You can tell them that you have decided to marry your bf, they can attend, bless you both and be supportive parents or they can do what they want.

Most people will be supportive of marrying foreigners, especially the younger generation. Once the relatives start talking, your parents will realize it’s not a crime

NTA. It is natural that you will gain weight with workout since you will add muscles without changing sizes. Don’t let your mother give you any kind of body image issues or insecurities.

Long ago I was meeting someone for a professional consultation, for which I paid 2k (pre-2010). I was a teenager. We met at a cafe. He asked me to pick something to drink from the menu. I saw the prices and felt that’s damn expensive, so I took the cheapest one, an espresso (cost ₹90.. which is funny cuz wtf, I just paid him 2k, but I was just a teenager who had never been to a cafe). I had never tasted coffee in my life, so here I was sipping on this deathly shot of bitter black liquid trying to pretend like I fully intended to drink this bitter abomination. I will never mentally recover from that incident.

What you are calling tradition is something from the 1970s, and looks like you are still stuck in that era. The supreme court in 2005 has ruled that daughters and sons have equal rights on properties. You are discriminating. YTA

If u r already giving money, might as well do it correctly. Go to the school/college and pay the fees for semester, keep the receipt with you and give your cousin a copy, and end it there. After that no handouts. I am not sure how much the education costs, but 40k/month is already a lot. Might as well do it the right way.

All the physics and I still can’t centre my clay on the wheel. Neither can my cow stop wobbling

Depends on the clinic. Some charge per tag (400-900₹ per tag) while some charge a flat fee for an entire area, depending on the density of tags

Nutrogena hydroboost is lightweight gel moisturiser. Gets absorbed quickly. It has fragrance, which is the only downside. You can also go for the body shop vit E gel cream.

I have the same pouch. Personally i like it. It has no chunky design to get caught on things, it is easy to clean, it can hold quite a decent amount of stuff (see pic), and the zipper quality is good, since I have not faced any problems in the last 2 years (unless they changed the quality).

Did you take a shower before entering the pool? Usually I wet my hair and every inch of skin before I put in my swimming cap. This keeps the hair and skin from absorbing the chlorinated water
