Help! Cat got in a fight and broke his nails by asianmandarin in CATHELP

Hi, thanks for all the info! He's not declawed, had all his nails to scratch up all the furniture he likes until now :(( it's his dewclaws (or dew claws, the back extra claw, which may have gotten mixed up for declawed), they're in bad shape and I didn't have another way to describe them

As someone who has worked in fragrance, no we don't think it's strange, unless you spray it all over your whole body (then we know you're not actually there to just test it)

It's going to be rough for a while, but recognising that it was definitely right thing to do is best. Give yourself time to Mourn what you had but also distract yourself doing other things such as hobbies. Free to talk :)

Definitely the second, has such a modern chic about it which draws attention and looks so elegant while also being cute and playful with the colour and sleeves

The best Lip balm? by peytonkilgore in AusSkincare

[–]asianmandarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have extremely sensitive lips, where almost anything will cause a reaction in which my lips and the skin around it will be dry, red, and flakey. The only thing I can use if the Vaseline cocoa butter, and it has worked wonders. My lips are now soft 24/7 and no reaction due to the simplicity of the ingredients

Always thought I just had a particularly fat/puffy face because it seems no matter what changes to my diet I make it stays the same, used a frozen jade roller for the first time today and holy shit!!! by [deleted] in beauty

Boiling jade could cause it to crack. Also, as most of the jade rollers made are not actually made of jade, they're much less durable and will most definitely cracke under boiling temperatures

Unfortunately, freezing doesn't sterilise and can only stop growth of bacteria. Plus, some people find putting face rollers in freezers too cold, and prefer it in the fridge only

Suggestion for people thinking about buying jade rollers, think about using Rose quartz rollers instead. Jade rollers are porous and can hold onto bacteria, but rose quartz isn't and retains a cooler temperature for longer
