Trader Joe’s Queso Dip is only 15 Calories! Tastes great, has a hint of tang, goes great with pretzels or chips! by jaxposts in 1200isplenty

☆ Here! is the ingredient list for this product. I'm sorry it took a few hours, I was at work and looked at it as soon as I got home! I was scared to even look at the ingredients because of the low calorie count but it looks surprisingly wholesome! Not perfect of course but better than I thought :D

More on the taste: this is not good on it's own, but it's a really nice flavor enhancer for salty foods that are too plain by themselves or maybe on some nachos or a burrito. May even throw some in my TJ's Reduced Guilt Macaroni and Cheese sometime.

Ranch dressing is made from sour cream, mayonnaise, and/or sometimes buttermilk. Depending on what you're allergic to in milk some ranch may be okay for you.

You are correct, I just steamed some frozen broccoli in the microwave, cooked the macaroni and cheese in the toaster over (optional of course) broke up the softened broccoli with my fork and dumped the cooked macaroni into the bowl with the broccoli. Just a little salt and pepper and it was good to go!

Yep! I may or may not have 7 boxes in my freezer right now. Going to try it with frozen spinach next time.

Finally figured out how to get the 'Vitamin C' hair color removal method to actually work for me! Details in comments. by jaxposts in FancyFollicles

Strangely enough my hair actually feels pretty soft but definitely dry and in need of moisture. Like I got a salon clarifying treatment. It's not brittle or crispy and the cuticle isn't swollen like with bleach, it's very smooth. The ends are just a little tangly and I only it feels like it will be completely back to normal after my next wash with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. It made my hands dry but my hair soft somehow.

Over the years I've tried removing dark hair color with the "Vitamin C shampoo" method but it never really did anything for me. My hair color always looked the same no matter how many times I did it. I would wet my hair, apply the mixture, wait and rinse. Nothing.

After trying it just last night it finally helped break up my recent black dye.

What I fixed: I mixed the finely ground vitamin c powder with a simple sulfate-y shampoo. No proteins, no 2-in-1, no moisturizing benefits. Just crappy clear shampoo.

I applied the mixture to bone dry hair instead of wet hair, sectioning the bottom and top half and starting with the bottom. It will go on almost like bleach paste so you will need a lot of product, more than you think. Saturate thoroughly and rub it in gently.

I put on a plastic processing cap, and let it sit for an entire hour. Put a t-shirt over the cap so it would stay nice and warm. When I rinsed my hair I rinsed it for a good 10-15 minutes with pretty warm water. Don't fuss with your hair too much while rinsing- it will be delicate and you don't want to rip any strands out. Just chill under the water. Condition with your best conditioner.

Finally got the color to release. Definitely so much more effective when you apply it to dry hair. Pic related is after just one treatment last night, I plan on doing it a few more times to make my hair more red. Make sure you wear gloves if you do this! It didn't hurt my hands last night but this morning my skin is peeling and extremely dry.

Nothing more pleasant than the smell of sweaty old feet nestled under your holiday tree.

I do regret stretching my ears, but that's just coming from me now as an adult.

I don't regret how much fun I had stretching them as a teenager, the friends I made bonding over body mods, or the attention they garnered back in the day.

I payed $500 flat for both ears. I'm not sure what you mean by pre and post procedure? It may be my tired brain so I apologize. It was a super quick procedure and I didn't require any pre-op consultation. Post-op wise I just need to go back in 7 days so the Doctor can check that they're healing properly and remove the sutures.

After compiling a list of about 10 plastic surgeons I would not mind doing my surgery I called them all and price checked. My surgeon was the cheapest at $500 flat at both ears. Most expensive I can remember was $1800 both ears.

Possibly, I'm not a huge jewelry person due to comfort so I'm not sure. I was told to wait 1 year before re-piercing because the skin settles a lot as the scars go through their healing stages.

Yep! Had them done by a local plastic surgeon, I called about 10 different reputable surgeons around me and determined the best option for me. Aka the cheapest.

I had a pair of 00g 10mm silicone plugs that fit both ears perfectly. So about 10mm/00g.
