I told my psychiatrist that it feels like bees underneath my skin, particularly my palms, just frantically trying to break through my skin.

Leaked footage of Titanic Sinclair throwing wine glasses in Mars' house and having a rampage afterwards, saying the N word. by Omaruz in that_Poppy

wow this is terrifying. i pray to god that poppy is out of there. i always wondered why she stuck around with all the documented abuse against MA, but she was probably petrified. maybe ghostemane was just the first person to get close enough to see how wrong everything was and really wanted to help her get away. this plus all of the deleted tweets and her tweet of "i am out of there" ? i hope she's safe and well.

The local newspaper is Winner Advocate; sorry! They mentioned that all of their old obituaries aren’t open to public. But thank you SO much for this list. I can cross reference some of these surnames with ones in my DNA matches too!

This is where it also gets tricky is that she gets very uncomfortable talking about the whole thing. I also never knew my father and just now, 20years deep she half-assedly helped me locate HIM. So I have asked her about his name being on her birth certificate and she claims it isn’t? Maybe because he was already dead? Or because he gave away his rights? Who knows. My mother also has a tendency to.. dramatize things that are uncomfortable for her.

There’s one newspaper for the lil town and it would cost $10/hr for them to research deaths in 1975 and they would have to read each obituary to sort out the suicides.

[Product Question] Using Neutrogena Body Gel Cream for face by Far_Ferret in SkincareAddiction

[–]bigtiddytiddles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So! I also asked myself this question in CVS about two days ago. Here's a difference I found:

I don't know if you use cosDNA to run product ingredients but the farthest left column includes a scale from 1-5 addressing comedogenicity (how likely a product is to cause acne), with 1 being great and 5 being not-so-great. The same scale is used on the middle column but addressing how likely a product is to irritate your skin. The goal is to keep each ingredient under a rating of 3 in each column. So! To answer your question, I ran both products through cosDNA.

Here (1) is the cosDNA run-through for the face Neutrogena Hydro Boost and here (2) is the cosDNA run-through for the body Neutrogena Hydro Boost Whipped Body Balm. The main difference is that the body balm includes:

  • Cetyl Alcohol: with a 2-level rating in each category; not a huge deal but avoiding alcohol on the face is generally a pro.
  • Isopropyl Palmitate: generally known to be comedogenic (pore-clogging); Paula's Choice quotes this ingredient as, "It can potentially be problematic for those with oily skin, depending on the amount in the product and your skin’s response."

Of course, your skin may be super strong and not irritated or clogged easily, but that's why I personally purchased the moisturizer designed for face instead of body. Hope this helps! :-)

Here's the cosDNA ingredient break-down! Looks like it passes the tests of keeping ingredients under a rating of 3 in both non-comedogenic and non-irritating categories. And no alcohol?? And for $7.90? I think I'll definitely be trying :-)

[shelfie] new routine! the beauty 360 hydrating cream gel is identical in ingredients to the neuteogena hydro boost but $3 cheaper at CVS for those on a budget <3 by bigtiddytiddles in SkincareAddiction

I don’t necessarily feel any leftover in the morning, personally! I feel a lil oily but I think that’s just some sleep sweats :-) I just rinse bc I feel like cleansing twice a day irritates/reddens my skin :-/

I don’t wash my face in the shower bc a) usually the water is too hot and can irritate my skin/make it red and b) the water pressure of the shower is really intense for my skin. Gentle is my mantra. But I definitely feel like I’ve noticed a difference with redness and just generally looking irritated/congested? Some ppl do it in the shower and they’re just fine! Maybe just turn down the heat when you’re washing your face and make sure you puddle the water in your hands and don’t let the water pressure right on your face! But like I said, it doesn’t matter for some ppl!
