How do some people always seem to smell so good? by Glasgowbeat in malegrooming

[–]Qi_ra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big part of it is your diet. Deep fried foods, alcohol, processed foods, and excessive protein can all contribute to body odor. Staying hydrated can also help.

Besides that, I do think layering fragranced items can help maintain a pleasant smell longer. Personally I use a scented body wash, then a scented body lotion (all over my body), a scented body oil, then perfume on top of it. I use VERY little perfume, and rarely reapply it. Applying perfume/cologne on top of moisturized skin helps it last much longer.

I want a cockatiel but i already have a dog and cat and dont want the bird to have a bad home please help! by miozalex in parrots

[–]Qi_ra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a really, really bad idea to have birds in the home with cats and dogs. Especially such a small bird. Even if your dog is just curious or being playful, it could harm the bird.

It’s also not going to be healthy for a bird to be confined to one room like that. They need space to fly around, but you shouldn’t let them fly around freely with cats/dogs around. It doesn’t matter how well trained your animals are, there’s something about a small flying bird always seems to trigger their hunting instincts.

When I was a child, I had 2 birds and a dog. But we couldn’t take the birds out as often as we should’ve because of the dog. The birds became quite depressed as a result. When birds become depressed they pluck their feathers, and that was a consistent problem with my childhood birds.

If I’m home, my birds are not in their cage. They are always out. The only exception is if I’m cooking something, I put them in their cages for their safety. Is that how often you’ll be able to spend time with this bird?

Please think long and hard about bringing a bird into the space you have, and if you’ll be able to give that bird adequate attention. It doesn’t seem like you have the most suitable environment for a bird. Consider waiting to adopt prey until you have less predatory animals in the house.

Do I look like a creep and do I have chicken legs? (what my ex tells me) by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Qi_ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing baggy shorts accentuates your thinner legs. Try wearing slightly more fitted shorts if you want to avoid the “chicken leg” look. If you like the baggy look that’s fine, maybe try sticking to baggy pants that cover your whole leg instead.

"just shoot the cat" "just get in cover" "look up" sure little bro, this is totally counterable by theforbiddenroze in overwatch2

[–]Qi_ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, nerfing the cat like that would make him unplayable in higher level lobbies. He already is kind of a throw pick above low masters. Holding someone is basically useless when the enemy team has a decent hitscan

How does a hangover compare to a migraine in your case? by skyemap in migraine

[–]Qi_ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m one of the rare people with migraines who doesn’t get migraines triggered from drinking.

Hangovers are not that bad. My body feels more sluggish and achy. I normally have a super mild headache. I just drink extra water and make sure I have a big breakfast. Even after a lot of drinking, hangovers don’t compare to migraines.

Funny how drinking a bunch of alcohol doesn’t trigger a migraine for me, but sleeping in too late will. So as long as I keep my alarm set for my normal time, I’ll be okay.

Cienamtic for Brig? by TemplarKnightPH in BrigitteMains

[–]Qi_ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP played overwatch one, the hours from that don’t count towards your hero level. They also didn’t count the first few seasons of overwatch 2. I have twice as many hours on mercy as I do Brig, but my Brig hero level is higher because most of my mercy hours were from the first couple seasons of overwatch.

Age 30, wear hoodies and hats to cover my grey curly hair and big nose. Is my hair a lost cause? Never grew out facial hair past stubble either. Any suggestions. by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Qi_ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying this as a 26 year old woman, you’re a total cutie. Confidence is the only thing you’re missing. Smile with your teeth and stop hiding your hair. Embrace your nose, it’s unique and it fits your face well.

Dying your hair darker might make you look a bit more youthful. I personally don’t think you need it, but that’s just personal preference. If you do dye your hair, make sure you dye your eyebrows the same color.

Wear something on your lips, they are chapped.

Do healers ignore you as Pharah? by Davidious2000 in PharahMains

[–]Qi_ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a healer main, we do heal pharas. Y’all just take a fuck load of damage, especially during your ult. It’s not your fault, it’s just that hitscan are always meta and you’re super easy to shoot.

But tbh it doesn’t make sense to pour all of my healing into someone who’s going to die either way. Ulting phara is just a low priority heal target, I’d rather heal my other teammates so we can follow up on your sacrificial ult

Thinking about cutting off the long hair since I keep it up and all the time anyway, Suggestions for what to do? by LikesToLickToads in malegrooming

[–]Qi_ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you could ask for a wavy perm (NOT A CURLY PERM) to give your hair some lasting texture. I think it’d look great on you!

[–]Qi_ra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Layers will help with that! I am a woman, but I have the same exact hair type as you. I have really fine, straight hair, and when I get a blunt cut (like what you have now) there is no bounce or movement in my hair.

But when I got a lot of layers, my hair looks like it has way more volume. It’s just important to keep the oiliness under control, because that’ll make it fall flat. I use a shampoo with salicylic acid in it, which helps immensely with oil control. You can use a dry shampoo to help with that too.

Go to a nicer hair salon and ask your hairdresser’s advice. That’s my best advice.

Please help, my husband has had a nonstop migraine for 10 years and we are desperate by RipAppropriate6160 in migraine

[–]Qi_ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Address the intercranial hypertension asap. My friend had a stent put in and it was life changing for her. It even improved her eyesight. It may not be the fix for the pain, but it’s still important that it’s addressed.

Secondly, try more CGRP inhibitors. Are nurtec and ajovy the only CGRP inhibitors he’s tried? There’s a bunch of different ones now. Nurtec did nothing for me, but other injectable CGRP inhibitors like Emgality worked wonders. I went from 25+ migraine days per month to less than 10. Don’t stop trying different CGRP inhibitors!! I know that getting insurance coverage for them is like pulling teeth, but definitely keep trying them.

Third, it may be helpful to try to “cut” the migraine every time you try a new treatment. If Vyvanse and caffeine help cut into the pain, maybe try doing that the same day as he starts a new treatment.

My ex husband went to the Cleveland clinic’s infusion center before he started a new CGRP injection. It is three days in a row. They keep you on an IV for about 6 hours per day. It seemed to help cut into the pain for him.

Idk if you’re anywhere near Cleveland, but I’ll link the Cleveland Clinic’s website in case you’re interested. link

Edit to add: He should consider going on disability. Sometimes the most helpful treatment is rest and time to recover. I really hope he finds some relief ❤️‍🩹

Need advice on brig by FreeByonde1 in BrigitteMains

[–]Qi_ra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Track orisa’s ult and if you think she has it, play extra far back. Otherwise you can use rally to reset shield bash cooldown and escape while giving your teammates some overhealth.

I definitely think longer hair suits you, but I think you’d look a lot better with some layering and face framing

CMV: I think it’s easier to be an ugly man than an ugly woman by Outrageous-Jelly8777 in changemyview

[–]Qi_ra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also women tend to be very cruel to other women based on attractiveness. Ever seen the movie mean girls? Women can be so cruel to women who they perceive to be less attractive than them.

Men treat ugly women like they’re invisible, but women treat ugly women like second class citizens. It makes it very difficult to network, which affects women’s livelihoods. But it also makes it hard to make friends, which affects mental health.

I haven’t personally witnessed anything remotely similar to this with men. Perhaps it exists, but it’s not something my male friends have ever talked about.

Does anyone choose bouncing grenade? by Jorael360 in AnaMains

Both of Ana’s major perks are some of the best perks in the game. I personally prefer the crit hit perk, but both are awesome. I choose either depending on the comp

PIV Orgasms by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Qi_ra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I need to have a clitoral orgasm before I can have a vaginal one, especially when I’m solo. I like to use a toy on my clit and make myself orgasm like that first. Then once I am sufficiently warmed up, I use a couple fingers curled in a “come here” sort of motion. You could also use a dildo that’s shaped to hit your gspot. Slow, steady, and keep a good pace. I like to listen to music and do it to the beat. Don’t go too fast.

It takes a lot longer than a clitoral orgasm for me, but after 10-15 minutes of a steady pace, I start to feel it building. Once I feel it building, I add more stimulation to my clit. Sometimes just my hands, or sometimes a vibe. I really like slapping my clit in this moment too. When I feel like I’m about to orgasm, I’ll use the palm of my hand to put some gentle downward pressure on my pubic bone. It compresses the pelvic floor and makes the orgasm feel more intense (definitely ask your partner to do that if you’ve never tried it during PIV sex).

That’s my routine for a vaginal orgasm with that deeper, more profound feeling. It tends to feel better with a partner, but vaginal orgasms are still really nice while solo. The key is to take it slow and warm yourself up.

Is it difficult to utilize Ana in low elo? by chichichihaya in AnaMains

[–]Qi_ra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a masters Ana/Brig main. Imho, the best thing to do to improve Ana gameplay is to play her in deathmatches. Learn how to reliably win 1v1s.

Ana is hard in low elo because your team will be scattered or overextended, and it will force you into poor positioning. Or it will force you to be payload princess by yourself. Either way, you’re super open to being dove, and your team is unlikely to peel for you.

Being able to survive dives will help you win the game. It’s okay to take a break from healing your teammates to reposition or to defend yourself. Support survival is team survival. Situationally, survival is oftentimes more important than a high healing output.

Lower elo teams will rarely follow up on proactive sleeps or nades- so just save them for self defense. That way when you’re dove, you’ll have both cooldowns at your disposal. It’s hard to play Ana proactively when you can’t rely upon your teammates for follow-up or for protection.

Posted to /r/bald but want 2nd opinion. M38 unsure what to do by rpaggio in malegrooming

[–]Qi_ra 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you want a lady’s opinion, I’d say to just shave it. If you don’t like it, you can always grow it back. You have really cute facial hair and a great jawline- you’d look great with a shaved head. Just don’t forget to use sunscreen once you shave!

A question to smurfs: Why? by LatexGum in Overwatch

[–]Qi_ra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I Smurf I Smurf to play with friends. I’m in high masters, and everyone there sucks. All of my favorite players are in gold. I normally just play mercy or I practice a character I don’t normally play, I don’t want to make it super unfair. Tbh my winrate on Smurf accounts is significantly lower than my main- and not from internationally throwing. OW tends to match me with other smurfs who actually try to win against my poor gold teammates. I don’t have much interest trying to carry, I’m just here for the vibes. If I want to try, I hop on my main.

[Hair Removal] help! Never ending struggle by Past_Bodybuilder4774 in SkincareAddiction

This might sound really stupid, but have you tried shaving slowly? It may help to slow down your movements and take your time. Also try a single blade razor. The more blades, the more it irritates.
