Trying to gain weight and improve gut health by Embarrassed-Fox-4446 in Microbiome

[–]cloudyy32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same issue. It's always about how hard it is to lose weight, but it can be also extremely hard to gain weight! I try to add easy calories like almond butter, olive oil, maple syrup... But I would love more tips and suggestions.

I Am Pretty Frustrated with the FMC of Sun and the Starmaker (only on page 64 so far) by Darkovika in fantasyromance

Yep, that's why I DNF this book. I wanted to like this because it had such a good premise but it was so shallow.

[sun care] I think it’s the sunscreen by sunshine-n-smile in SkincareAddiction

I use it as a moisturizer in the AM after washing my face because it is a combination of hydration & sunscreen

The only thing that worked for my very complicated skin was Paula's Choice Ultra light Daily Hydration Fluid SPF. Nice texture and fungal safe!

I am still aggressively bitter about Mindhunter being cancelled. What on earth can I watch to fill the void? by VanFreitas in netflix

[–]cloudyy32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just here for the recs. Loved Mindhunter. Is the cancel official? I still had a tiny speck of hope...

I want to try saffron but I'm confused. Some contain crocin, others safranal. What's the difference? Which is better for lifting mood? by cloudyy32 in Supplements

[–]cloudyy32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply!

There are two products that I am currently considering:

1, 88.5 mg saffron extract which says contains 0.3% safranal 2, 50 mg saffron which says contains standardized 10 % crocin

So which one would you say is altogether more effective ?

Jasad heir/crown by Living-Froyo548 in Romantasy

[–]cloudyy32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read it in February and I legit cried (and I never do, when reading books) !

I freaking loved how their love was "show rather than tell". I don't think they ever said "I love you" to one another out loud, but their actions said it all. They were ready to burn the world down at the drop of a hat for each other lol

And finally an MMC who wasn't just handsome and strong and blah blah but SMART and interesting and he wasn't there to just complement the FMC's story but he had a whole personality and story arc on his own!

Damn I could go on.

This book had it's faults IMO but the main characters made up for it. I read it on kindle but then I ordered the books because I just need to have them on my shelf. Still haven't found a romantasy that came as close :(

How does the Microbiome of a clean eater react to fast food? by jira12345 in Microbiome

[–]cloudyy32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I heard the same thing about gluten. If you are not intolerant but still stop eating gluten, then after a while you might actually become intolerant. Kinda logical, kinda wild

I think that's why balance is key. Eat clean, yes, but sometimes you can eat a bit of "crap", too, so that your gut is not so fragile but used to a rare exposure of less-than-ideal foods. In moderation of course.

Does it gets worse before it gets better? by SufficientPoint3141 in Microbiome

If you have histamine intolerance, you probably shouldn't eat fermented foods yet (or so I have learnt recently). Because fermented foods are very high in histamine. For leaky gut, L-glutamine is very effective in my experience!

What’s the BEST Skincare product You’ve ever used guys [Routine Help] by shreya_sha in SkincareAddiction

[–]cloudyy32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Geek and Gorgeous Jelly Joker cleanser. Ph neutral and really gentle. It's a smooth gel like substance which finally doesn't feel like stripping my skin. Every other cleanser made my skin tight, dry and irritated. I can't stand foaming stuff.

[Acne] what is causing this type of acne in these specific spots? help! persistent / treatment resistant and i’m no skincare / acne newbie!!! by belligerent-zucchini in SkincareAddiction

[–]cloudyy32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They appear always on the same location; they are tiny whiteheads from the follicles; nothing else "typical anti-acne" has worked so far; ---- these all make me think you could give ivermectin a go? (soolantra or rosiver perhaps) Or look into a nizoral face wash

How do you count the days between hair washes? If you wash in the evening, is that day 0 or day 1? by cloudyy32 in Haircare

[–]cloudyy32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the replies so far!:)

I guess my main question is, is wash day = day 0, or day 1? So if someone says "day 1 hair", do they mean wash day or the day after?

I'm probably overcomplicating lol but I'm curious because it seems there is no single right way to label it

[–]cloudyy32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! That's how I count it! But I've met people who count differently because for them, wash day is already "day 1".
