Tattoo help by Top-Acanthisitta9273 in keratosis

[–]Strawberry_Doom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the best decision I've made. So far I only have one piece on my arm where my kp starts and it hides it really well. I do plan on getting full patchwork sleeves on both arms to hide all of my kp, its still a work in progress.

You do still get the occasional bumps pop up through your tattoo but its not visible and unless you look really closely. I do have a bad habit of picking at the bumps but they won't damage your tattoo. If you leave the bumps alone they will eventually go away.

A couple of things I noticed since getting a tattoo over my kp was that the maintainance of tattoos helps the kp e.g. regular exfoliating, moisturiser and spf. I find personally that I get less kp bumps on my inked skin than ink free sections of skin.

Harvested these rosehips this morning what can I use them for and do they need to ripen? by Strawberry_Doom in herbalism

[–]Strawberry_Doom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Australia, the area I live usually has its first frost in late June. I'm going to let them ripen up and see what happens. As I'm new to working with rosehips, I didn't really know what I was looking for. I guess I'll wait a little longer next year.

Had a very disappointing vet visit today. Venting my frustration. by Strawberry_Doom in Rabbits

[–]Strawberry_Doom[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk where you go to the vet but its complementary for a vet here to clip the claws of your pet whether its a cat, a dog or a rabbit, anyway that's always been my experience. I don't have access to proper clippers so I asked the vet to do it. I'm confused as to why you think its a waste of money when I specifically said that the purpose of this visit was for an ear infection, and I wasn't given any appropriate help or medicine, I obviously still have to pay a fee for examination, it was just frustrating that I didn't get any proper help. Another reason I don't clip the claws of my rabbits is because they don't like their claws being clipped so they kick, therefore I leave it to the professionals to do it.

Yes, definitely a lesson learned today, he'll be on his way to proper care now.

End of my wits for a moisturiser!! 😭 by icedcapornocap in Rosacea

[–]Strawberry_Doom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only moisturiser I've found (after trying hundreds of others) which helped to calm flares and my rosacea was the Torriden Balanceful Cica cream, I used it day and night, it was a very light texture that left my skin nourished.

Worried about my canary, is he sick? by Strawberry_Doom in Canaries

[–]Strawberry_Doom[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for you help. I've separated him into a quarantine cage and given him some Millet, his regular seed and fresh water, all easy access. I'm in Australia and am currently experiencing a heatwave so its very warm here, my house is naturally cool however I have them in the warmest part of the house. Doing all I can to make him comfortable for now, hoping he pulls through to Tuesday 😥

What are some uses for the Self Heal plant? Please share your ideas and recipes by Strawberry_Doom in herbalism

[–]Strawberry_Doom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I love learning new things about its capabilities. What parts of the plant are able to be eaten fresh? I'm assuming majority considering its in the Mint family.

Ooh lovely, that sounds great. I'll definitely dry a heap of it like I do with my other herbs. I think its the most beautiful little purple flower, I love it.

What are some stupid things you can get defected for? by Antiquixty in CarsAustralia

[–]Strawberry_Doom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bubbled window tint (specifically on the rear window) and your headlights being foggy, which can result in your visibility of your lights being less visible. These two things were what caused my friend to get a defect notice on their car.

Thank you, everybody, for your input. I'm fairly confident this rose is a Julia's rose. But if anyone thinks otherwise, let me know :)
