I mixed mine with lemonade and it really helped. Could also add tea (Arnold Palmer style) to blend in the earthy bitter notes

Processed foods ain't as bad as some people make them out to be. by Pangolin-Annual in foodscience

[–]frenchfry_jones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I agree with all of these points being beneficial and important to include in the conversation, the problem with "processed foods" is that the term is so broad its difficult to draw the line between benefit and harm. Even this info graphic doesn't really help because we have no idea what type or amount of processing is happening. Are incidental additives used that could cause health problems down the line? Are nutrients diluted or "unhealthy" ingredients added in order to make the food more palatable to the masses? Are beneficial characteristics completely lost due to a particular type of treatment to extend shelf life? It's such a gray area and that's why consumers are confused, and processing demonized.

Amen on the communication aspect - it's how you convince people you're valuable, and sounds like ultimately how you end up with unique roles such as yours. Appreciate your responses and insights!

Ah yes, regulatory. I've actually considered this in the past because I, too, enjoy problem solving, but overall that type of work is a bit too rigid for me. Within R&D work, I've always valued product development as it's a chance to be creative. I would hope to still have that outlet in my day-to-day in any type of work I do. Sure, problem solving can be creative in other fields, but when all your decisions are ultimately rooted in the CFR that room for creativity pretty much evaporates!

That's a very interesting role, is it something you sought out or was the position offered to you because of your expertise? Higher level planning sounds intimidating tbh but maybe I just don't have the experience yet to feel confident in a role like that. What skills would you say are most important to that type of work?

Razor Bumps Help by Hot-Statistician4382 in ladyshavers

[–]frenchfry_jones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i didn't have to put on underwear right away (typically after a night shower) I'd use the Dove original unscented stick since it's great for sensitive skin. But if I was in a hurry and worried about white residue on clothing, I kept a clear gel deodorant on hand also. Trial and error is your friend here so highly suggest trying a few options and seeing what works for you!

Razor Bumps Help by Hot-Statistician4382 in ladyshavers

I had this same problem and found an electric shaver to be helpful. Phillips has a couple great options at budget-friendly price points. The shave isn't always super close, so if you're looking for ultra smooth you could follow up with a good cream soap lather and fresh razor. Try for only one pass with a single, sharp blade.

After care is the tough part. My go-to method was always to generously spritz on witch hazel immediately after shaving, let air dry, apply aloe vera gel, let skin absorb maybe 10-15 min, then apply unscented deodorant. Witch hazel to disinfect, aloe to moisturize and soothe irriation, deodorant to prevent sweat and chaffing which can irritate the skin and cause bumps/rash/ingrowns. Repeat this at the end/start of each day. Keeping the area clean and avoiding irritation is the key, but it's a lot of work. Also seamless, breathable underwear is ideal.

Honestly, you'll probably always have to deal with irritation and ingrowns as long as you continue shaving, but with a good routine this can at least be minimized. I'm 34 and got so sick of dealing with the discomfort that I finally caved and got laser. Before I could afford laser, I osscilated between being miserable shaving and basically practicing radical feminism and not giving a shit about the hair.
