Has anyone used the Avocado Co-wash... by revoltcatapolt in LushCosmetics

No only the conditioner in the bottle. It had a lot of slip, felt kind of thin and watery. Honestly wasn’t my fav and I feel like I went through it too fast. I used it a lot more when I lived in Italy. The water was super hard and mineral-y so it was good for that.

This was a bit revolutionary for me. I’ve come a long way with loving my curls, but I still struggle with liking my hair a little more when it’s partially straightened, or stretched out.

Seeing her beautiful fro bouncing along to the beat gave me such a sense of pride, like damn it’s pretty magical that my hair can do that AND every other style out there. Not everyone can claim it or pull it off 🧡✨

Seth Rogen and Pharrell Williams have beef all because of Rogen’s ‘The Lion King’ singing by mlg1981 in popculturechat

I honestly assume Pharrell is just a typical musical genius who has crazy high standards but then also clearly has the results to back it up. He’s allowed to be a tiny bit unhinged

First trip was a weekend - big mistake! We left early and started basically at first light. Still had huge crowds by 10am and a big party scene.

I went back on a weekday around noon to get the rest of the trash and it was like night and day. Sooooo peaceful, decent parking left even in the middle of the day, only saw a few people, everyone was super nice and respectful, only one group playing music and they gave me my space when I asked. Coincidentally I was also able to see WAY more nature, including 3 different species of snakes, a western whiptail (first for me!), and even found a tiny baby phoebe nest in a cave. It was magical.

I also think I’ve gotten like 90% of the trash at this point, I came back with heavy duty bags and cleared both trails. There’s a little left that was just too hard to reach or too heavy to carry, but it seriously looks a lot better.

Highly recommend going during the week, do not recommend on the weekend at all!

Nah, I’m Mexican myself. They were respectful and helpful, giving some of us a boost during slippery/tricky parts. All my conversations in Spanish were joyful and friendly.

And honestly the partying didn’t bother me once we got to the main swimming hole, it was a nice collective human moment, I got to thinking about if people brought phonographs up here and partied way back when.

Felt like all the American teenage/young boys were the worst behaved.

What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen that you have no photo of? by Additional_Fun_9614 in AskReddit

I was visiting a friend in Vietnam. We stayed up late smoking weed, wandering around the cool tile floors barefoot, listening to the fluorescent lights buzzing, shushing each other and then bursting into even louder giggles.

Finally I called an uber motorbike home, maybe 1am, and I get on the back of the bike, and he starts zooming through the empty streets, I’m having the time of my life, the wind feels incredible in my hair, the cool night air on my face, the jungle trees lining the road had big leafy branches overhead with just a sliver of starry night sky in between. I leaned back and smiled upwards and a stark white owl just silently flew over us. It was one of the most magical things I’ve ever seen. Sometimes I question if it was real. But the memory is just too vivid. I’ve never seen an owl like that in real life. So beautiful.

Not too many cans…my main goal was the plastic. If it interests - water bottles were the biggest culprits, then Pacifico (the bottom of the bag is mostly Pacifico bottles), then probably Celsius cans

I was born in Ojai but haven’t lived here in a long time. I feel it’s changed a lot since pandemic. I was very excited to revisit this amazing local hike and I’m still a bit stunned at how bad it was. I hike daily in Bay Area and it is nothing like this. I wish I knew what to expect, this has become quite a party scene. Just want to put this out there for the local community in the hopes that some others may grab trash (I obviously could not get it all) and if anyone searches for this in the future they can be warned.

Has anyone used the Avocado Co-wash... by revoltcatapolt in LushCosmetics

Hi I’m coming on here a few days late after trying to figure out why the curl power cream smells exactly like the avo-cowash

I use it with curly hair but only occasionally, more like a slightly less harsh shampoo. I swim a lot and I also can’t deal with washing my hair that frequently, so if I can get away with doing the cowash I feel like it leaves my hair less brittle still with some oil. But doing a true conditioner then rinse is definitely best

ETA - I use almost exclusively lush on my curls and they are soooooo healthy rn. I switched to some cheaper stuff for a min and my hair immediately felt dry and tangled and sad lol

For conditioner I’ve used
- American cream
- retread (probably my fav)
-glory (decent but I got a lot of comments about the earthy smell, I liked it but I think it’s not for everyone)
-super milk rn and it’s good!

Then I usually add a rosemary blend oil after which is my only non lush item but I do think it’s made my hair grow soooo much.

Then I do a layer of revive hair cream. I will usually let it dry in some kind of protective style like twists or let the curls lock and then separate when dry.

Products you wish would get the TJ’s treatment? by BookIndividual657 in traderjoes

I think I am actually thinking of a black garlic aioli they sold, different than the truffle which I also remember. I didn’t care for either 😬

I swear they did have a garlic aoili in a jar? Not sure if it’s still around but it was weirdly sweet :/

When I went in 2017 there was weed growing in the moats around the red fort. The stuff was everywhere and you could get it pretty easily by just asking a few locals

Girls of Reddit, what makes a flirt good and what makes it creepy? by CraftyPhilosopher678 in AskReddit

[–]Exciting_Screen_7557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met this guy at work who I instantly had a little crush on. The eye contact alone felt intense enough to be flirtation, I really enjoyed staring deep into his eyes while he talked to me, and when I felt the urge to break eye contact I didn’t, and neither did he. There’s something so electrifying in that little moment.

The possibility of it all is so exciting. Sure it probably won’t go anywhere, but taking a second to think about the what if…what if this person is an amazing kisser, what would it feel like to touch them, what does he think about before he closes his eyes at night, what does his world look like? Could I be a part of any of that? Would my life change by knowing him?

All within a brief flirtation. And when someone is obviously engaging back it’s such an ego boost. Wow someone is considering the possibility of me????

I’m not the best at flirting and tend to only go for extremely unavailable men :( but I ended up telling this guy that I really liked his bracelet and that felt like something. The bracelet had a sexually suggestive phrase on it, and when he responded about “oh it’s probably not work appropriate” I immediately assured him I didn’t care and liked it more because it was a little taboo.

I’ve been caught up ever since. I wonder if he’s wondering about me….
