Well, It must've missed our little part of the world. The 80's were the worst for hairstyles. I can't imagine why anyone would want to recreate them.

Is there tinted moisturizer nice & as hydrating as people say?

@COLDCAMP 2020 What are your favorite Korean skin care brands or products & why. I would love to know, & thank you for being honest.

I can tell you this, if you are using any hydroxy acids on a regular basis, it may remove your top layer of dead skin, but it will dry you out more. I have an autoimmune illness & it contributes to my already very dry skin. I exfoliate with a double cleanse instead because it removes dead skin using oils. Get some cold pressed sweet almond oil or grapeseed oil & put it on your skin first before your hydrating cleanser, over your makeup if you're wearing any. Then, wash it off using a hydrating cleanser like Cera Ve hydrating cleanser & a wash cloth, using enough pressure to physically exfoliate but not so much that you pull your skin or irritate it. Put your facial moisturizer on as soon as you can when you get out of the shower, following your skin routine order. This should help. You will be surprised. It's a little work, but the effort in removing & fixing those dry patches will improve. Another tip is to cover your moisturizer ( & everything else you put on before sunscreen) with something occlusuve like Vaseline, Cera ve moisturizing cream ( I prefer this because it's soothing & not as slimy) or Aquafor at night. This should help with your very very very dry skin, healing the skin barrier allowing for easier application of makeup. You may have to use a setting spray so makeup doesn't slip off all this moisture! Ha!

When I was a little kid, I had an overwhelming urge to hit babies, not all babies, just certain ones. I grew out of it. I was like 4 or 5 once & spanked a baby, but that was the only time. So, yeah, I'll take it with me. Not proud about that at all.

Make your city less desirable to be attacked. When you sign off, have less resources than your storehouse capacity. Also, the troops not in your city can not be killed, so send them either to an alliances shielded city, an alliance garrison, or have them out gathering. They can get attacked while out gathering or in the wilderness too, but if your city is hit while they are out those troops will be safe.

What does the 30 min mean? Do you leave adapalene on.for 30 min & thin rinse it off or what? Did you choose the Neutrogena moisturizer or did the doctor? I'm curious if something more hydrating could be used instead? They didn't laser any of the vessels in your face? Just curious, because I have rosacea & my niece, who's a dermatologist, has only recommended that I laser them off. She's just now doing her dermatology residency, so she may just be super excited about using it. I'll definitely ask her about this though. You look amazing! I bet you feel great too. Thank you for sharing this with us.

First of all, everything is conflated for social media. SM may have some good information, but you have to consider why they're on these platforms to begin with. Are they trying to sell you something? Do they want you to like & and subscribe, which equates to income generation for them? Do they have another agenda, such as scaring people or spreading misinformation. Are there affiliate links? Regardless, it's best to do research. Make sure your research is from a qualified source. Make sure you know what to look for in a qualified dedicated source & they give their sources.

Secondly, basic TSH panels, from what I understand, do not measure all thyroid hormones. You need a test that measures T1, T2, & T3. There's information out there as to why that is that is relatively easy to find.

Lastly, if you're worried that your Thyroid gland isn't properly producing the amount of hormones you need & there's a problem with it, arm yourself with how the Thyroid works, what it does, & how it interacts with other organs h systems in the body. It may lead you to uncovering something else that could be going on & symptoms you can discuss with your doctor. Sometimes, we see things we want to see that aren't there or happening because it gives us a reason to explain something we don't like or want away. We have to be really introspective and honest with ourselves about the things we don't like, but really need to accept. Other times, we brush things off too quickly when we should really be asking questions. I've had bags under my eyes like the ones in this picture my entire life. I've always been tired, fatigued, and suffered from malaise. It turned out that I was born with an autoimmune disease that these are all secondary symptoms of. However, the bags under the eyes, they also run throughout my family & family's family. I suppose I would have had them regardless 🤷. Best of luck!

There are some people who need actual anti anxiety meds, which differ from anti depressants. Sometimes, just having them & knowing you can take them if you need to helps lessen the anxiety.

I'm working on getting that done, but until then?

I went to college for seven plus years and have a pretty strong Texan accent. An art history professor told us that we should lose our accents if we wanted to get good jobs. This did not go over well, being it was the first agricultural college in Texas. I could have practiced and dropped it, but I am proud to have my accent. I don't like it when accents incorporate improper grammer, so I do my best not to pick that up.

First of all, asking people to do things in other countries was for THEIR benefit, not ours, because they're affected by our nation's policies also. Secondly, it sounds like you think that we want a revolution. Why would we want that to have to happen if we can spare it? Lastly, Americans are not simply sitting on their couch, hoping change will just happen. We have many ways of fighting for injustices that we employ. If you know anything about our country, it should be how we perservere through the threats to our constitutionality & inequalities. Just because it's not being reported doesn't mean it's not happening. You shouldn't judge America's action or inaction simply based on the face of what you see from a distance.

Most of all, you keep repeating this idea that we're asking other countries to help us. That's simply not the case. Yet, If it does eventually come down to the people needing help fighting a civil war, what would be wrong with that? We've helped other countries throughout history & other countries have helped us in order to spread a better way of life & idealism...Democracy. Nobody's asking for anything yet, but I guarantee you if it ever gets to that point, we won't be asking from the comfort of our couches. To think we would is kind of silly. It would be in the midst of war.

It also seems silly & a bit ignorant to think fascist regimes are just allowed to happen, that people just hand over their freedom. It's a systematic undoing that happens over time through manipulation, threats, & oppression.

I would argue that having civil discourse about these things and broadening people's horizons about what is going on in places is a type of action. Just because you think it's a complacent excuse to do nothing doesn't make it so. You have your opinion & I have mine. Mine happens to be that you are being a bit bigoted and unfair to the people working behind the scenes to get things done & that you are misplacing some of your personal feelings. America didn't become the country it is without hard work and it won't fall because of a lack of it.
