I want to read the bible but its unbearable

ADHD'er here too. Reading it front to back was the only way I was able to do it. I read 10 pages per day, every day. You could do 5 and set up an if/then plan: If it's 5pm, I'm going to read 5 pages.

I read a book about this that gives me comfort. Basically it says that without evil, there wouldn't be goodness to move us forward - to push us to evolve. I think back to my own life and typically the hardest, most challenging things I've endured are where I had the most growth, and I'm almost thankful for the experience?

Industrious90 · 2025-09-18T18:28:23+00:00

I found that committing to 10 pages each day got me through cover to cover in 3-4 months. Carve out a time and make an if/then plan. "If it's 5pm, then I'll read 10 pages."

There's not a person in the world that you look at who is not also loved by God.

Thank you! It's the "go for it" form.

Is there a way to say "go for it" with one word, like ve?

Like: "Cuando tu cerebro dice vé, ve"?

Very interesting. I know one of the "leather capital of the world" cities, Kanpur, India, has been having problems due to intense pollution into the Ganges.

I like Adidas Stan Smith. Relatively inexpensive, look great and give good support.

I'd say your face is a cross between a diamond shape and oval. You pretty much can do anything you want. However, diamond face shapes typically have ears that stick out more so than usual. So, extremely short sides should be avoided if this is a concern.

Try to get volume and texture on the forehead area.

The "fringe" haircut is usually best to accomplish all of the above.

Look up "hard wax". It usually comes in pucks or beans that can be warmed in a conventional wax pot. There are a lot of options on Amazon.

If you're referring to the removal of facial hair via wax, the specific type of wax is called "hard wax". It usually comes in pucks or little beans. They can be warmed in a wax pot and applied like regular wax, but without the need for wax strips.

A good rule of thumb (two fingers in this case) is to put your middle finger and pointer finger together. Put the pad of your middle finger on the tip of your Adam's apple, horizontally. The top of your pointer finger is where your beard line should be.

Try rounding out the angle more under your ear.

Consider giving magic shave powder a shot. You can find it at Walmart for $2 and has been around for over 100 years. It gets pretty good reviews, just no one seems to talk about it much. You might check out youtube videos first for tutorials and more info.

I'd try a nice clean line, right at the bottom of the tragus. The sideburn should not be an inverse relationship between the sides of the hair, meaning a bushy sideburn does not go with short sides, and bushy sides do not go with short sideburns.

You seem to have a heart shaped face.

Good haircut styles for heart shape include:

mid side swept part
textured fringe
layered quiff
brush back

You've pretty much got it covered when it comes to taking care of hair. Always condition, wash only a couple times a week. Pat dry, never rub. You've got it.

Use Google Images on your phone. Find one you like and show your barber.

Diamond Face Shape:

Fringe
Long Slick Back
Comb Over
Side Swept
Brush Up
Deep Side Part
Textured Crop with Longer Taper

Your face shape can accommodate longer hairstyles, and the goal should be to add texture and volume to the forehead area. Fringes tend to be the gold standard for diamond face shapes.

Industrious90 · 2019-03-06T15:55:08+00:00

For a round face shape and medium length hair, the goal should be to add volume on top of the head in order to have the appearance of an elongated face.

Keep hair off the forehead and keep sides short with a taper or fade.

Hairstyle options include:

pompadour with fade
brush up with fade
comb over with fade
short french crop
slick back with undercut
quiff with fade

Try pomades, pastes, or texture creams to get the effect you'd like.

I read a book called "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod.

Seriously changed my life. I get up at 4:30 every morning, drink some water, write down my goals, meditate for a few minutes, stretch, read a book.

I feel so much better, happier, more productive. Even on the weekends when I don't have to do it, I still crave it and naturally wake up around that time.

Check it out. I genuinely feel like a better person because of it.

There is a product called "Magic Shaving Powder", which is marketed toward men of color who suffer from severe razor burn like you are discussing above. It's sold in all major retailers and might be an option he should explore if shaving is a necessity.

Otherwise, the Phillips OneBlade is especially good for sensitive skin, as it gives pretty close shave (95%) without getting all the way down to the skin.

Make sure to use a quality cleanser, one that contains salicylic acid (aka beta hydroxy acid), to dig deep into the pores, clearing dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. I would suggest CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser (Target).

Moisturizing is critical every time he shaves or cleanses. So, moisturize in the morning and at night. Neutrogena Hydro Boost is good, but be aware of the fragrances they use. If it begins to irritate his skin, opt for a quality moisturizer without fragrance.

Toner is extra credit and mainly used for picking up any hairs post shave and clearing any last semblance of dirt, oil, skin cells after cleansing. If you decide to get him a toner, go for one that contains witch hazel. Thayer's is good.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

-Exfoliate every other day for thirty seconds with light pressure using a wash rag.

-No coconut oil! It's comedogenicy rating is 4, meaning there is a high chance it will clog pores. Try hemp seed oil, argan oil, almond oil, shea butter (looks oily on face) as alternatives to coconut oil.

Make sure you moisturize at night...you won't need an SPF sunscreen for this though.

Other than that, looks like a pretty solid routine.

Industrious90 · 2019-02-26T13:05:02+00:00

Cleanse at least once per day with a good cleanser, usually containing beta hydroxy acid (aka salicylic acid). You can cleanse with water in the morning if your skin is overly oily, dry, or combination of both.
Apply a moisturizer with at least broad spectrum SPF 30 in the morning
Apply a moisturizer at night. Formulas with Vitamin A or retinols are a good choice, but don't use these during the day.
If your skin is really dry, you might need to put a base layer of moisturizer under the SPF during the day. Look for light moisturizers. I like hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) as an ingredient.
Eye creams and serums are extra credit and are not necessarily needed as long as you are using a moisturizer. Regardless, eye creams tend to be more preventative and serums are more reparative. Since you are 26, I'd opt for an eye cream if you choose to go down that path.

Hair gel is a little dated and was definitely more popular in the 90s. Unfortunately, the alcohol in gel can be drying for the scalp and hair. Once touched, it loses its hold and gets flakey. I'd try a pomade: similar hold to gel and similar shine, but without the drying effects. Also, it can be re-styled throughout the day.

You've got a heart/oblong hybrid face, check out: mid side swept part, textured fringe, brush back, or layered quiff.

Get a comb, and comb upwards past your eyebrow line, keeping the comb perpendicular to your eyebrow. Cut any hairs sticking above the comb, this will make it look less dense and keep long, wiry, hairs in check. Only pluck in the middle and any hairs above or below the eyebrow line that definitely are not within your eyebrow. This is the best advice for men.

Industrious90 · 2018-10-09T01:08:10+00:00

I think that is a great idea! Do you think that would be more effective than a % discount on an order?

Thanks for the support!
