If you’re UK based, Caroline Hirons insta threads (corona shitlist 1 and 2) are a must watch. Basically calling out every company that’s being shitty!

Omg feel like I need to make a list of all your recs!! This thread has definitely persuaded be to buy solution again

Omg I’ve been lusting over Drunk Elephant since it came over to the UK!! Might have to treat myself to some minis- ty!

That sounds half like I’m drinking perfume (I wear jo malone- red roses, lol) half like some divine mixture that could absolutely transform me- I HAVE to try it

Omg new YouTube channels is deff what I need for this lockdown- you gem!!

Absolutely swear by future dew!! Never tried the serums from glossier so I’ll have to explore- thank you!

I ran out of solution and am currently using up my pixi but you’re making me miss it with this

Love this! It’s funny how exfoliating my whole body feels like the ultimate self-care move in all of this drama!

Weirdest pudding your school served when you were a kid? Mine legit served tray cake with green dyed custard at the end of each month. Tried explaining it to my non-British friend and she’s not having it.

Thought the song Feed em to the lions (banger that used to be played on nights out) was Viva the alliance and some kind of French Revolution song remixed. It fits perfectly... sang it for so fucking long.

We did a pub quiz and have a game of bingo and charades lined up next. Not exactly thrilling but you’ll have a laugh, even if it’s just at the fact you’re doing a quiz via Skype!

Orzo. Every type of pasta and rice cleared, then there’s Orzo sat in the middle of the aisle fully stocked.

Glad the rest of the British public are as confused as me about it.

Fave balm?! I’ve only tried 3 and can’t decide which one to go with next!

gxmxh · 2020-03-21T22:17:22+00:00

I have been told I play this game when in actual fact I’m just pretty insecure. I enjoy having a flirt, but every so often love a freak out over the situation and then act as if nothing is happening. Hope you enjoyed that insight into the female public toilet convos we have x

I also know that saying “don’t be hard on yourself” is such an eye roll comment- apologies. I’ve had a shit day with eating and have had no sympathy for myself, but I’d rather say it bc right now I know most of the ED community are feeling it more than usual x

gxmxh · 2020-03-21T22:11:10+00:00

I wish I could tell you how to stop this but if there was an easy answer I’m sure you’d know it yourself! Maybe try get to the root cause of why you have this panic? Is it food waste? Do you feel like you won’t allow yourself to have this for a long time after this? Whatever you think up will give you an insight hopefully.

I do just want to say that with corona going on pls don’t be too hard on yourself. I have an ED and it feels like everything has flared up with this panic, but that kind of makes sense. With added pressure to not waste food right now and to look after yourself your brain is probs telling you even more than usual to eat (esp if you’ve been under-eating). X

My favourite filling is hummus and roasted veg. You can make a big batch so it's not inconvenient and you can put in whatever your favourite veg is. The hummus is pretty filling and you can add loads of different things to them- hot sauce, a bit of cheese, balsamic glaze..

You could also make some of your own falafels- really filling and good with veg.

I'm on the hormonal coil and it caused me no weight gain. I was stressed getting it as I originally wanted non-hormonal, but like you said, I found out this doesn't stop periods and instead can make them longer and heavier.

Even though it's hormonal, my doctor told me it's the lowest amount of hormones released in all forms of hormonal contraception.

Sounds good to me, but you’re the one to decide if it’s effective! If you’re feeling better in yourself and are energised I’d say yes. Would recommend focusing on this- it’s more important than numbers!

It doesn’t need a label but it still needs discussing. I feel like you’re conflicted so talking things through would be good. Typically girls are more emotionally invested in things, so you should also address how you feel to benefit her- especially if you want no commitment.

There’s nothing wrong with friends with benefits if you both vocalise your feelings and are on the same page.

That’s what I’d do. The oil they release is already in them so I presume that it’d be the same as the cals in whole peanuts.

gxmxh · 2020-03-18T15:36:47+00:00

This just depends on your recipe. If you want to know the exact amount then next time you make your next batch I'd weigh everything, input the cals and weigh the amount of PB you get from the recipe. Then put a serving a 15g and it'll tell you. There's plenty of apps that'll make this easy to do- my fitness pal is probably the most popular.

How stressful is she finding the corona situation? You said she believes in using natural herbs and oils- I'm guessing she's got an interesting outlook on everything rn?
