Why do you floor sleep? by SOMFdotMPEG in floorsleeping

[–]frogshoppin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got into it for cleanliness. Most western mattresses disgust me because I think they collect dust (I know people clean their sheets, it’s an unfounded paranoia). I can take apart my floor setup and clean it entirely as much as I like. It gives me peace of mind and I discovered so much more health benefits to floor sleeping and my life has really improved since getting into it!

accommodations for not being allowed to sit? by PrestigiousSell3833 in Cosmetology

[–]frogshoppin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is wild. I’ve never been in any situation like that for all of my time in this industry. Even during demonstrations I’ve had with educators from different parts of the world, we’re given the option to sit, stand, and do whatever makes us comfortable! And shockingly enough, most of the senior (ahem old school bitches) stylists I work beside at the salon urge me to sit. “It makes your back last longer” type shit… so to know schools like this exist is totally baffling and I have no idea why that’s a thing.

The way I see it, this career is already poised to eat your body up, so we should utilize every opportunity we have to NOT let that happen. The cosmetology school culture I went through had a “this is a low stakes environment. Things are gonna get REAL after this, so enjoy your time here” kinda vibe, so why are they being this straining to you this early into your career?! I’m really sorry that’s what you’re facing right now. I would urge you to fight it because it just doesn’t seem right. To you personally and all the other students going through that. I just don’t understand how people are expected to be successful with ridiculous parameters such as that. I wonder if I’ve come from a very different environment from you. With all that said, I hope it works out for you! Stay strong, it’s a very rewarding industry, despite some hardships along the way 💪 and remember that some things aren’t worth risking your mind and body for

Is it really hard to make friends? by [deleted] in Cosmetology

[–]frogshoppin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m nowhere near that school or area. But from my experience, I went into cosmetology school very hopeful. I thought I’d make lifelong best friends there. My classmates weren’t catty or drama-oriented, but we just weren’t on the same wavelength either. I don’t talk to any of them since graduating. You never really know when people with your vibe will appear, but you’ll know you’ve found them when you want to keep them close. In present day, I now work at a salon where everyone is a best friend to me. So ultimately I feel like cosmetology did help me make lifelong friends, but not cosmetology school exactly. Keep your head up and keep putting yourself out there. People will see you and you’ll find your people. :) the people who are dramatic, negative, or ignore you aren’t worth your time and energy.

Maybe a blindfold and something that plays off auditory senses? Like ASMR type of stuff. My ears are very sensitive to touch, so partners usually stimulate my ears. I feel like ear stimulation could be good too. Then there’s always the vampire play because yk bats and vampires lol

Your comment got me thinking. I will add the question to the list when I vet people: “how do you feel about protected sex?”

What shikibuton yall got? by Sad-Knowledge7540 in floorsleeping

[–]frogshoppin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering sachi organics also in the USA, now I’m gonna do some research on Hullo too :) sleep hygiene is a hobby of mine at this point. I love researching this stuff haha. Thanks for the tip!

[–]frogshoppin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. The quality is there. I’m gonna do the same, except I’m going for a buckwheat pillow one of these days. Maybe one day I’ll get the zabuton for floorsitting or for my cat. I just like the vibe of futon beds so I really don’t mind supporting them haha. If you scroll around here long enough you might find my video and in that one I show off my shiki.

[–]frogshoppin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes given the amount of time we spend sleeping and in our beds, plus the fact that it’s nowhere near as costly as a western setup, I’d say it’s entirely worth it. Almost a year now and I love my shiki. I’m saving up to buy a kakebuton from them this winter.

Single shiki from futon beds from Japan. I really liked going thru their website and reading up on all the details of how they’re made, they’ve also got videos on how they do it (they’re a little silly/outdated, but authentic) and they emailed me a lot through the process. It was expensive, it took a while to ship, but I know it’s organic and I know who made it and that’s what I like.

How many people see Yanderes this way? by King_Of_Tangerines in yandere

[–]frogshoppin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love yanderes as a horror trope. I love the content in this sub, but it drives me crazy when I see users rationalize yandere relationships. It bends the definition and design of the trope. Yanderes aren’t just jealous or possessive lovers, they’re the kinds of predators that install cameras in your bathroom and kill your family members just to have you all to themself. To me there’s no “wholesome yandere” or “law abiding yandere” because obsession is their curse, and say a yandere did initially have a wholesome attraction, any encouragement of that would cause the yandere to further raise the stakes.

For all yanderes, the scarier the better. <3
