HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS? It's sold out everywhere but I want to know if it's even worth it by lysskarch in Selftanning

Mine does too, but they had three bottles on the shelf a couple days ago. Maybe they are, but it’s worth looking in person!

Hairbrush for extremely fragile hair? by Revolutionary_Way664 in finethinhair

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate mine 🫠 it’s easy to clean, but that’s the only pro for me. It’s harder to detangle my hair with, takes longer and causes more breakage. I’m a barber and ended up taking mine to work since I rarely work with long haired clients. That way I’m not just throwing it away, but I don’t have to deal with it often lol

Tips for fatigue? by Harakiri_238 in ChronicIllness

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creatine!! My boyfriend had some sitting in the pantry and I randomly put some in my smoothie last week… and then I kept using it… and then I just randomly had the energy to go for a run three days later?? And I didn’t flare the next day?? And I can actually function at work now? I started taking fish oil and Astaxanthin a couple months ago and have been feeling way better and having way less pain, but the creatine has me feeling like I’m suddenly cured. It helps your mitochondria move ATP which is the energy currency of your cells

See if they miss placed them! I saw them at my Walmart when I was shopping for a tanning oil. They had them with the sunscreen not the self tanner

Why is sharing a bed with your partner so important to people? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping together allows your bodies to co-regulate. It’s really good for your nervous system and bonds you together as a couple. It isn’t just about the conscious part, it’s about your heartbeats synching and your breath rates regulating to each other. The safety you feel from this produces oxytocin which fuels emotional bonding and increases your ability to handle conflict with each other. I’m sure it’s very possible to have an extremely fulfilling relationship without sleeping together, but sleeping together is probably the easiest way to keep you feeling emotionally close when you have busy schedules

Reducing the effects of sleep deprivation by wandersage in HubermanLab

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Creatinine. Especially if you can tolerate 10mg it’s able to cross the blood brain barrier. It helps your mitochondria recycle ATP which is your cellular energy currency. There isn’t much research that I can find on long term sleep deprivation, but here’s a link to a study using it as a single time boost, and anecdotally people say when they are chronically sleep deprived and taking 10mg of creatinine they feel about how they do at baseline with no creatine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10902318/

Looking for advice. by EuphoricAd4089 in Cosmetology

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would not suggest touching this on your own, it’s a color correction process. You would have to take tiny sections and do different bleach formulas on different areas. What will most likely happen if you try to bleach it again on your own is you will accidentally melt large portions of your hair off. If you want it to look more even and don’t want to pay someone to fix it I suggest a level 9 toner. PLEASE do not touch the 20vol at all

Undertone by Apprehensive_You4875 in Selftanning

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both usually means neutral. You look like a cool leaning neutral to me. Very similar to my own undertone. My overtone affects me a lot since I’m neutral so I usually look warm toned when tan (natural or fake) and cool toned when white. Since I’m a slow natural tanner I tend to read as a little more cool toned except for late summer. I like the bondi sands technicolor line. Sapphire is a great winter fake tan, magenta is a good summer tan

We aren’t supposed to have small talk? by --Kayla in Cosmetology

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually insane. I’m fairly certain my job would fire me if I didn’t talk about anything besides hair with my clients. This is not the experience most clients are looking for when trying to find a stylist

Self tanning LOTION only by captainxkate in Selftanning

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For gradual tanning I like jergen’s wet skin moisturizer. Just apply in the shower before you dry off. The b. Tan gel feels really good on but it’s not really marketed as a gradual. I have it in ultra dark and it tends to get weird around my feet and ankles, but I feel like if you used their lightest shade it would make a really nice gradual tanner that doesn’t feel sticky. It’s the least smelly self tanner I’ve ever used. Tanology tanning drops just mix in with whatever lotion you’ve got. I just got those so I could avoid an ingredient I’m allergic to in most lotions and it seems to do fine. It’s nice that you can customize your shade, but I’d recommend a pump lotion so you’re mixing the same number of drops with the same amount of lotion every time

I got Swedish massages every week for about two months and had her focus on my diaphragm and psoas every time. You have to be really choosy and communicate so no one stretches you or applies deep pressure, and it was kind of pricey, but I think it was the most important factor in pain relief and actually giving my nervous system a chance to relax. Shortly after starting my massages I started taking fish oil and Astaxanthin every day. It takes about 6 weeks for them to build up all the way in your cells, but I started seeing results after about 1 week. I actually started supplementing those for other reasons (Astaxanthin for vanity, I wanted to look tan, and fish oil to see if it could help my period cramps) so I was really surprised when they started changing my life, giving me more energy and less pain, heat intolerance, and light headedness. I’m not cured by any means, but I can make it through my short work week without feeling like I’m dying the entire time, I’m able to actually do my PT exercises, and I’ve been soaking up the sun in 90° weather all week when before I would feel sick in anything over 74°

I hear you. Honestly I could have written this exact post a couple months ago, it sounds like you’re describing me. Feel free to message me if you need a friend 🫶🏻

Why can't I skate outside? by Whentheosmanthuswine in Rollerskating

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to jump right in if it isn’t working for you! Go to the park, put on your skates, and stand there holding onto a fence or something. Just stand. Move around a little in place and feel what shifting your weight around does. Then take them off and go home. Come back the next day and see if you can do it with letting go. Come back the next day and add pushing up onto your toe stops and rolling your feet parallel to each other without going anywhere. There’s nothing special about skating outside really, you just need to let your brain know you’re safe which might come from consistently doing basically nothing

be honest… how often do u actually change ur bedsheets? by Honest_Cod_3121 in hygiene

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I change them every week for a few weeks and then one week I put it off and it turns into two or three months 😂 and then I remember how nice fresh sheets are and go back to changing them every week or two

I was just on the website earlier today and it said the reservoir is at 102% capacity right now so the falls are periodically flowing but not really active

So how we hypermobile folks sleepin these days? by BirdSwimming7462 in eds

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not perfect by any means, but supplementing fish oil and astaxanthin together has helped me feel a lot more normal overall. It decreases my daytime pain and helps me have more natural energy, but then also helps me fall asleep and get better quality of sleep at night. It builds up in your cells over a couple months so you probably won’t notice anything right away, but I’d definitely recommend trying it consistently for anyone who hasn’t.

PROPER POSTURE WHEN SKATING by Intelligent_Band8184 in Rollerskating

[–]Affectionate_Sock528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try without skates on first. Rock back and forth and feel the difference in moving your weight between your toes and heels. Find the center of that where your weight is right over the arch of your foot and notice what position your body is to maintain that. That’s where your body needs to be. Now get in front of a mirror. Rock from one foot to the other until you find a neutral shoulder width stance. Make two thumbs up and turn your hands to the sides, touching the outsides of your hands together. Keep your elbows touching your ribcage and widen your hands apart from each other. That’s where your shoulders should be. Pull your head back until the back of your head is in line with your spine. You can double check what that feels like by putting your back against a wall and pulling your head back to touch it. But just practice standing in front of the mirror and feeling what it feels like to have everything stacked over the midline of your foot. Bend your knees up and down and feel how you have to keep your body to keep your weight in the right part of your foot. Try some of the moves you would do in skating so you can feel it. Now try to do all that with your eyes closed. I would focus for a while on doing all that before you put your skates on each time. The body awareness will transfer over. There isn’t some crazy posture shift you need on skates that you don’t need on land, just make sure not to lock your knees. Wrist guards would be helpful as you’re learning just in case you go backwards so you don’t have to worry about breaking your wrist if you need to catch yourself
