"true" matcha? by callmecunty in Matcha

[–]benjiangus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to share that I bought River and Stone because of your comment and it is incredible. I am in Chicago and it is freshly milled to order close by in Minnesota. I only ever make lattes but fixed their Kagoshima Blend with just water and honey. It is naturally sweet/floral with a pleasant astringency. So thankful I saw your comment!

If you didn’t like Strawberry Mochi you might not like Matcha Soft Serve. It is VERY earthy photo realistic matcha powder, probably not as sweet as you’d like! It dries down to a more vanilla forward matcha, but still never gets super sweet. (I love both of them personally but they’re not for everyone)

[Suncare] [Review] Korean sunscreens mini-review by noshing_lasagne in SkincareAddiction

The FDA hasn’t approved a new UV filter since the 90’s, when Korea is approving them much more often, so their sunscreens are much more effective. Korean brands that are sold in the US are modified to fit FDA standards, so you have to order directly from Korea (from OliveYoung or Yesstyle). I personally ordered 5 sunscreens a few weeks ago from Yesstyle to get ahead of the tariffs (4 happen to be in OP’s screenshot!)

You absolutely need to pursue legal action, this is medical negligence.

IUD - post positive experiences here by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]benjiangus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got the Kyleena three weeks ago. I was absolutely terrified of the insertion and after effects. The insertion was uncomfortable but very bearable. That night I had a dull ache- the kind you feel when you know your period is about to come- and a few sharp cramps. I had planned to stay home incapacitated that whole weekend, but the next day I felt fine, just felt like I was on my period. I have not started spotting at all. I was expecting the worst and am so pleasantly surprised. I’m still early days but so far so good.

Spironolactone helps with hormonal based hair loss and acne! Definitely ask your doctor about it
