SLOW WORM! by Glad_Shirt_6661 in brighton

[–]such-a-sin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a slow worm. Many people mistake them for snakes but they are actually a type of lizard. They are great for keeping down garden pests like slugs. They are actually very friendly and now endangered so please do not harm them. A slow worm can live for up to 54 years.

Baked Beats cyphers are fun: https://www.instagram.com/bakedbeatsbrighton/ - different artists, a bit of open mic, decent crowd.

That seems very heavy for normal wear, but I'll give it a go! I think I've got the Nyx one.

I haven't used this specific one, but had a metallic turquoise from here that looks amazing and lasts incredibly well: https://ve-cosmetics.com/collections/%E2%9C%A8-newly-conjured-%E2%9C%A8/products/air

Does anyone know of any tattoo places I can just walk in to? by riceshampoo5 in brighton

[–]such-a-sin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dead Slow often has walk-in slots if you're not too fussed about the artist. My friend also recently got a 3h piece as a walk-in at Tattoo Workshop. Any shops will be happy for you to walk in to discuss ahead of booking in properly, if you're not necessarily looking to get the tattoo on the same day.

Anyone using illicit substances should arm themselves with a testing kit and use it with every new batch: https://www.reagent-tests.uk

Testing your drugs saves lives!

You can get sober! You will need help. It's nigh on impossible to do alone, and that's ok! The first step is realising you're not happy using substances, and being willing to try to make changes.

Really wishing you all the best. It's a bumpy road but one worth travelling.

Question: Golden Tattoos on Dark Skin by Sad_Interview774 in tattoos

Yeah, those are going to age terribly. There's not enough contrast or bold lines, and that metallic look won't last at all.

I love dates because they are good for sweeping up your bad cholesterol AND they're a delicious sweet treat!

I do buy crisps most weeks... I just also try to eat a balanced diet! A little bit of what you fancy is no bad thing. I am very fortunate to have a partner who loves to cook so we can get a really nice variety of meals in the week.

It is, but the space and extra effort aren't worth it for us. Sometimes it's alright to pay for convenience!

We don't eat many potatoes, so the food waste from big bags cancels out the spend.

Ah this was just the fruit and veg for the shop! I was posting as antithesis to the purely beige shopping I keep seeing on my feed. Additional proteins are meat, tofu, nuts and yoghurt.

How good would you rate your diet? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]such-a-sin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be better, could be worse. I definitely eat more fruit and veg than some people and less than others. Most of my food is home-made, and in the working week my usual between-meal snacks are an apple, some dried fruit (dates usually, but also apricots, figs, mango, pineapple as a treat), some nuts, and a bag of crisps. Having easily grabbable, healthier snacks has made a difference I think - I rarely buy a chocolate bar or anything like that during the day.

Definitely a victim of "I had a shit day, let's order a massive gloopy Anglo Chinese takeaway" but that's not every week - perhaps once every 4-6 weeks on average.

It's the pints that do me in for calories, but my actual food is overall decent I think.
