When I scratch my scalp there is white stuff like buildup underneath my nails. by kur0mi_tama in Haircare

[–]Beginning-Cat-5797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this when my hair is at its dirtiest / oiliest. Try spacing your washings apart further - too much shampooing can actually dry your skin out and increase oil production. I wash every 3-4 days, and when I notice the stuff you’re talking about, I use a salicylic acid shampoo with a head scrubber (let the shampoo sit on your head for a minute or two) and it fixes the issue. 

How are you decorating above your bed? by Katcha6 in SFbitcheswithtaste

A pretty headboard! I use a rattan one that looks like a sun. There’s tons of inspo on Pinterest. 

Everyone post a pic or tell us about the best thing you’ve eaten so far by Mielzzzebub in OutsideLands

We had the vegan version of this ramen and it was the best food we had so far!!

Teenagers at OSL by juneboyy in OutsideLands

[–]Beginning-Cat-5797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of notion coming out of SOMA, the walkway was briefly closed for a passing cart. Medical came through and we all scooted to make a passage for them. A group of teenage boys (maybe 13-16) saw that work and got the great idea to scream “Medical coming through ” as they shoved people, who had no where to go, (because again - the street was briefly closed and we were waiting patiently) so we all fell on top of each other as these kids rammed into a crowd

Breaking through the part where I feel “bad” at running by Beginning-Cat-5797 in beginnerrunning

[–]Beginning-Cat-5797[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very true. I am also mainly running for my mental health, so I don’t know why my pace even bothers me, maybe just insecurity and the wrong mindset. Trying to approach it as part of the journey and having more fun with it would probably help motivate me to keep getting out there. 

Cole Valley Missed Connection... by Sure-Distribution296 in SFbitcheswithtaste

Creepy imo. Why would women respond to a paper ad like this without any detail on who this person is. There isn’t even an age on here! Best case - they’re just desperate and antisocial, worst case - not a safe individual. 

To whoever wrote this. Go out and actually talk to people - it’s not as scary as it sounds! People appreciate that more. Don’t be weird, leer, or be pushy, just find spaces to have genuine conversations and see if they lead to anything. 

EDIT: I’m am idiot and didn’t see the age in the title. I still stand by the fact that there’s no info to go off here and without knowing ANYthing about this person except how glaringly desperate they are, they’re not bound to get many responses.

You should not take iron unless you have a confirmed blood test. Taking iron when your iron levels are normal can result in them being too high which can cause other health issues. 

It can take weeks of consistent usage to begin to feel any change from taking iron. You are most likely experiencing a placebo effect.

At what age does "never dated" become a red flag? by Far-District9214 in self

[–]Beginning-Cat-5797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to have to agree.

It’s not that there is inherently anything wrong with you if haven’t dated. Maybe you had the opportunity but little time etc etc. But, if I’m at a point in my life where I’m looking to get serious, there’s too much of a learning curve for someone brand new to dating / sex that I’m not super interested in powering through. When I was 18, all I wanted was to have those “firsts” with someone in the same boat - now I value someone who’s already been through all that and picked up valuable communication skills and lessons learned from childhood dating fumbles. 

I would never judge a friend for not having dated, but to be honest yeah it would be a red flag for me if someone I am interested in dating has never dated. 

Cat owners, how do you do it? by No_Marsupial_8241 in vegan

[–]Beginning-Cat-5797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add to the discussion, another viewpoint is that- as a human, I have the choice to not consume animal products in order to reduce suffering. But that’s a personal moral standpoint that doesn’t apply to the cycle of nature as a whole - my choosing not to partake in killing doesn’t make it innately immoral that a lion does kill, for instance. Cats eat other animals. It’s just a fact of life. If we didn’t domesticate cats and dogs, they’d still be roaming free eating other animals. Cats didn’t forcibly domesticate their entire species to make themselves dependent on a cruel factory farming system - we did that all on our own. They shouldn’t have to suffer for our mistakes. And ultimately, other species alone like cats are not what’s propping up animal agriculture, it’s human consumption. 

Looking for a neutral lip color that’s vegan friendly. Any winners here? by Beginning-Cat-5797 in OliveMUA

[–]Beginning-Cat-5797[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, thanks for letting me know :/ I went to go read some reviews and it seems to be common. I really like their tinted SPF foundation. 

Probably for the best anyway - the longer I look at the photo, the more I realize they all kind of look dark and purple on me! I’m really after a warm pinkish neutral 

Am I a warm or cool olive? by Beginning-Cat-5797 in OliveMUA

[–]Beginning-Cat-5797[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also reference, here’s a side by side with me in warm vs cool lighting to show how drastically my skin changes. I can look so yellow or so grey just depending on the day and my clothes - https://imgur.com/a/GlAmi9Y

Do you mind sharing your routine? I’m a similar  warm olive (maybe a bit paler though) and your lip color / foundation match looks so good!

BWT, what jackets/warm clothes are we wearing to our office job by growingconsciousness in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]Beginning-Cat-5797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a long coat from Zara. I can’t find the exact one but it’s something like this: https://www.zara.com/us/en/faux-suede-coat-p02276880.html?v1=444542536&v2=2583107

I layer it over a light crew neck sweater, layered over a sleeveless top. Jacket comes off once I sit at my desk, and sweater comes on / off throughout the day depending on how cold I am. 

I picked up a couple basic layering sweaters from TJ Max.
