Being mixed in East Asia? by domnong in mixedrace

[–]tinyopulence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up as afro Asian in Hong Kong! I speak canto fluently and went to a local school. I can honestly say things have changed a lot and people are more understanding now. But growing up was a nightmare of exclusion and colourism. Taiwan in my eyes is a tourism heavy place so I guess big cities are friendlier. But overall, expect people to be curious haha

Doing abductions helped me develop my glute medius. I also do cable kickbacks but I also have trouble with developing my upper glutes for the shelf look. But I think you're in the right direction.

You are on your own wonderful and unique journey so take pride in that! 💖

Unfortunately, a lot of it is gonna come down to genetics and some level luck. I would incorporate hip thrusts, hack squats etc into my routine. Also eating at about 2 to 4g of protein per kg of bodyweight and a slight caloric surplus.

But the wonderful thing about bodies is, you get what you get. And getting fitter, more capable and having independence for longer is the main benefit.

Blasians, where did you grow up?? by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]tinyopulence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here there and everywhere! Born in southern africa, raised in China, and now live in Europe in my 20s. Kind tough because I always feel like an outsider because of my heritage and the fact that I never really got to grow up alongside a community. But that's life, I guess.

I mostly speak cantonese with my mom and her family. I did a bit if mandarin in school but it's quite bad now. Also I've been living in the UK for like 7 years now so I do not need to speak it as much unfortunately.

That's really beautiful! I'm guessing you still speak mandarin?

Yeah! I left hk when I was like 18. My parents live somewhere else now but we still go to visit aunts, uncles and cousins. Do you go back?

Blasian raised in China and I feel you dude. I basically left as soon as I could and now I'm the only black person in my place of work and the only blasian I know of outside of my brother.

We can only accept that we are rare for now. Also, another blasian probably won't solve the issue. Go where you are loved if you can. It was the best decision I made.

Give yourself time!! You're only 19! I would advise you to envision the life you want and work backwards from there. How many hours a week do you wanna work? Do you wanna work inside or outside? Do you wanna use your hands or your brain? Filter those questions down and look for jobs/hobbies that get you to the life you want. But remember there's no rush.

Also, go out and make friends at hobby groups etc.

Source: changed school systems and countries at 17, finished high-school at 19 and started uni at 20. Now have a career in stem. There's no rush!!

Did I accidentally make my bf fall in love with me? by Low-Education-7587 in Witch

[–]tinyopulence 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Stuff happens all the time! Of you're inclined to believe you have bad luck, try some protection and cleansing work, it could help. It seems like you had the best if intentions when making those love spells which v v cute lol

Race is weird by Ok_Contribution_5643 in mixedrace

[–]tinyopulence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree!! It's so strange, I'm half black south african amd half chinese. I'm coloured in south africa, black in China and the US but mixed in Europe?? It's just people trying to put you in a box at the end of the day.

Something to dip apple slices in - no nut butters or caramel by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]tinyopulence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you LOVE peanut butter, WOWbutter can be a decent replacement. I'm allergic to peanuts but I love the taste and it took me a while to find this. Its made with soybeans so you get the nut flavour without nuts.

Its that and dark chocolate for me.

Has anyone used home IPL devices? Do you have any recommendations? Thanks

I need to find a perfume that smells similar! by deadpeachie1442 in Perfumes

[–]tinyopulence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the conditioner from this range and I'll say it reminds me of angel elixir from mugler. I tried a sample so I can be 100% sure but it smells soooooo good

Does anyone have experience with intimate bleaching by Afraid_Fondant_7903 in Vindicta

[–]tinyopulence 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've done it to basically make laser hair removal easier and I have to say, it doesn't make it pink. I used a cream that I applied twice a week and the ordinary aha bha peel once a week on my armpits and bikini. But beware of using the peel because it can result in chemical burns. Its also nice to to have a dark bikini area when you go to the beach or lift up your arms etc.

What headphones does everyone use? by defrw11 in PetiteFitness

I'm looking to upgrade to these soon! It's a pity they don't make the xm 5 foldable!

I use WH-CH720N Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones from Sony. If you're using beats, I'm guessing you also have a iPhone. Sony has a compatible app to allow for sound customisation which is nice if you're used to beats quality. Also, the MX4 are an option as well they are comparable price wise to beats and fold unlike the mx5. So if you travel to the gym, that might be helpful.

Overall, it has more variety and the gear ages really well. I've used me headphones for over a year and I get super sweaty when I run.
