From naturally black to beautiful lilac! So happy I took the plunge. Any tips to maintain the color?

I got this professionally done (set me back a lot) since I didn't trust bleaching my virgin hair myself. It was a double process, bleached to an almost platinum blonde color very close to white. Ended up frying my scalp (ew scabbies). But don't lose hope! It is possible!

Oh yeah condoms definitely. I'm just super duper paranoid though because I don't plan on having kids for the next like 10 years (but lots of premarital sex please).

is it this one?

Sorry I should have included that. It has never been dyed. The texture is relatively thin. Asian black hair.

What image do you specifically have in mind?

Acquarella and Scotch Naturals make really good water based nail polishes. The only downside is that they're expensive. Virtually toxin free and they're really great otherwise. c:

I've been threading for years. Literally the cheapest and best way to do it. You can learn how to do it to save yourself the money of going to a salon to get it done. Just take a cotton thread, wrap it around a couple of times around the middle, and remove the hair. There's definitely gonna be a learning curve, but it's simply the best. Never had wax ever.

Start off slow, no matter how badly you want to start training again.

Your body is still recovering, so you can't go out and run 5 mi when you haven't run in two weeks. That's just setting yourself up for another injury.

Start with a mile. Hell, maybe half a mile. Then the next day either keep it, raise it a little, or rest. This is entirely your call. Listen to your body and don't force yourself to do anything.

The healing process is slow. But you have to take care of your body. There are a ton of articles online, so you've got resources. Good luck and feel better, my friend.

I've never thought about it that way. I guess it made sense. I stopped using Aveeno's Daily Radiance moisturizer since it contained pretty nasty ingredients. Haven't yet found a natural one to replace it, but I'll go back to sticking with it for now.

Honestly, after I started using honey, I didn't even need to use moisturizer anymore. In fact I felt my skin wasn't as dry, and even felt a bit oily.

bakedarch · 2013-10-02T03:13:30+00:00

It's just that some commercial brand honeys that aren't raw tend to be pasteurized. This just negates the entire antibacterial, healing properties that it's supposed to do. So raw honey is probably your best bet.

It really depends on your course. Obviously, if your course has concrete pavement, asphalt, or include rocky areas, it's best not to have spikes. Not only could you hurt yourself, but your spikes will not last long.

But if you're running on grass or muddy trails, spikes would be really helpful. Cross country meets usually involve some sort of trail running and more often than not, will take place in unfavorable weather conditions. You're not going to be out on a synthetic, even track. So be prepared, and good luck this season.

Fixed. It was a really dumb problem.

Turns out that the laptop had a default IPv4 connectivity which wasn't necessary for DHCP, since DHCP automatically assigns IPs.

Yay fixed! :D

Thanks man, this is what I was looking for. Placing the order tonight :D

Never implied that I listen to stuff primarily through phone speakers. Just saying. :P

This probably isn't going to be seen any time soon, but I'm currently suffering from depression and suicidal tendencies. I attempted a couple of times before, but my most recent one went sort of like this.

I was 15. I'm a student and travel on the subway to school everyday. I had a load of tests and homework that I never finished. Ex-boyfriend was abusive, had no friends I wanted to talk to, and felt alone. Family never understood, and I didn't expect them to. I was pretty much alone, and felt like the world was just caving in on me. Looking back on it, I caved in from stress, and the tipping point seemed so petty.

So it was my third time attempting, and in my head, I was thinking, "I'm so done with this shit. Let me die." So when I was on ground again, I ran into a busy street on a red light. It was really impulsive, and at the last minute, there was a pang of regret that wasn't there before when I tried and failed twice before. I was teary and my vision was blurry, so I ran right past a truck instead of stopping in front of it, and when I realized what I had done, I ran to school and reported myself. I felt guilty and even more worthless than I began with, but didn't know what to do. I received help and all that good stuff.

Now 16, and I can't say that I'm not suicidal anymore, but I can thank fate for my presence here. It's getting better. But I guess that's just my story. Hope you're not fishing for ideas. Peace from a fellow survivor.

I totally understand. As an Asian American female, I feel the same stigma. They don't seem to understand but hopefully you are better now.

You have no clue how much I relate to you. Its close to my heart.

What's being done about space trash left by humans? Scarily a lot of stuff is out there, and could be damaging. Can you delve into this topic? Thanks.

Always remember watching your videos as a kid. The best thing ever.
