/hb/ - Health & Beauty

Heyheyhey anons! Yesterday a friend of mine made a compliment about my appearance and even mentioned my muscles. Just sharing these positive feels with you.
Keep it up!

Nice, is he hot?

>>7485
Nah, has a wife and three kids too.

>>7486
Oh, lol. Well good for you anyway, I'm sure you look great :)

>>7484

It burns me how common and expected it is for a woman to hide her true looks. Some companies even have the nerve to have make up as part of company uniform. Why should I lie to others about my face? Why should I hide all the slight imperfections that make us human? Why should I have to "feel" beautiful in public to boost my self esteem?
All the thousands people waste, the hours, the damage done to the skin and all those people who crash their cars trying to put it on on their way to work. What for? Empty validation. Vanity.
And they push it on to kids from an early age…

Always was, always will be.
Makeup is ok with me and I wear it everyday. I wish I could stop though - but you know how it goes.

I have that kind of face that doesnt look serious or tody enough, and I need that for my job. Not a company policy, just that clients react different when I wear it.

If all women just stoped wearing it I would not have a problem. But it is how it is.

Makeup is an I teresting thing. I like it a lot, and I find it so cool what people are able to do with it. You can completely change yourself wearing it. Its like clothing, yknow? Its a form of expression. And it makes some women more confident, which is great.

Ive never been one to wear makeup. I did my freshman year of high school, but after a year of that I got sick of it. I honestly can't remember the last time I actually wore it.
But lately ive been seeing imperfections (dark areas on my face, I have this mole I'm self conscious about) and I think I could seriously revamp my face and feel more confident.

But I don't want to, like… Idk, lie to myself. I know I have the freedom to wear or to not wear makeup. It'd be weird, I don't eve know where to begin or what kind to buy.

Its conflicting when I feel like this should be a really straightforward decision. Its like an identity thing.

Leaving the negative stigmatas aside, makeup has a lot of benefits especially when you're getting older.
"As much as necessary, as little as possible." is the key here to avoid looking like Homer shot you with his Makeup Gun. I like it classy and wear it every day.

Yesterday, something terrible happened to me, anon. I got my new glasses, and as soon as I put them on, I surprisingly realized how ugly the optician was. Then I got home and looked at myself in the mirror, only to find that I had a terrible skin, with giant pores and nasty wrinkles on my 31-y-o face. Living without glasses had kept me in a blurred world where everything looked soft. Now it all looks harsh, sharp, with strong contrasts, and of course, I now know that I look way less cute than I thought. I knew I did not have a perfect skin, but this was shocking.

Today I put fondation on before I went to work, and willingly left my glasses at home.

I did a water fast (no food at all, just a lot of water) for 10 days and I lost 10kg. Of course, I gained all that weight right back after I started eating again…

Yeah, oddly enough drinking coffee with half and half had no ill effects on the results. I had all my meals first thing in the morning with coffee, then skipped lunch and dinner but had an extra glass or two of iced coffee with a bit of cream in the afternoon.

Just don’t drink like, sugary soda or a full glass of chocolate milk or something. Half and half is only 20cal per tablespoon.

Forgot to mention in that post - no more acne. Fine lines that were beginning to show (I’m 26 and have shitty genes, thanks mom) completely gone. Skin glowing. More reason to doubly recommend.

girls help. i was good on my path and feeling so well, but this week i had a major regress. two months of work gone in a week. i feel disgusting.
how can i push myself up again? it feels awful and its had such a negative impact on me, i feel like ill just gain it all again.

>>7427
>i have a problem though where i need to make good tasting stuff otherwise ill binge later on.

Yeah, I'm usually the same. If I try to substitute whatever I'm craving with "meh" food… I'll usually just end up eating more later. So I let myself have some chocolate or sweets or whatever I'm craving so I don't end up binging layer.

>>7469
prolonged fasting is unsustainable and dangerous. people who support it are literal retards. the weight you lost was mostly glycogen depletion and water weight anyway. get on a moderate calorie deficit for a long period

>>7471
you cant undo 2 months of work in a week, just get back on the horse and dont stress too much. if you obsess over short term failures it will prevent you looking at the bigger picture. fitness is a long game

>>7472
you learned what not to do so its not a waste. you'll have lots of ups and downs, no failure is a waste if you learn from it. and it will take 100s of days to get fit, one bad day doesnt matter

>>7415
I mean compared to the monstrosity that were my previous breasts. Now they're round and actually look like boobs. My doctor said I only had to wait 3 weeks to see what the final results would be like.

I know I probably shouldnt but I cant help thinking of people who get breast implants or cosmetic surgery in general as vain bimbos. I found out a person I thought was cool is getting a nose job and I couldnt help but think less of her for it. I also feel sad that theyre insecure and doing it for men (not saying everyone does it for men)

Im also a hypocrite because Ive considered cosmetic dentistry and will probably go through with it in the future. but idk if thats comparable

>All plastic surgery discussion is welcome.
I have a deviated septum that makes my nose pretty asymmetrical. It makes me feel like shit whenever I take a selfie because of how crooked it is. When I have the money I definitely want to get a septoplasty or rhinoplasty.

>>7460
>nose job talk

I've considered it too, but I don't want to do it since a bad nose job can really fuck up your face. At least you can hide botched tits under clothes.

>>7466
I don’t want to change my nose shape, I just want to straighten out my septum. Like any other surgery it’s going to have it’s ups and downs, so when I have the money I’m gonna do thorough research into a surgeon who can do it without altering my nose shape too much.

Standard treatment is enamel micro-abrasion followed by whitening.

More to the point, why even ask here? Just go ask your dentist and if you are so schizo ask a second or a third dentist.

That's it, I'm never going to have sex.

>>7308
Don't say that. It was a bumpy start but it didn't stop me from wanting to have sex. Even with all that it was very enjoyable and I wanted to do it as often as possible.

I was in my early twenties my first time. It hurt a bit but I wouldn't call it painful. It felt like I expected it to, I guess. But I was pretty comfortable at the time. I had never used tampons or really inserted anything substantial into myself before. I don't recall bleeding afterwards.

I didn't bleed at all (I was 20). I used tampons before I started having sex, but I could never fit a dildo up there (still can't unless I recently had sex either).
I do believe that the hymen does wear away over time, but I think it was more due to my tampon use than anything else

2 or 3 drops of blood afyerwards and that was it.
I almost thought that we didn't do something right because we really didn't understand how himen works. Still thought it will 'break' at some point.I was 14 he was 16 and we've been together for about a year, lost virginity to each other.
It makes me laugh now about how young we were.

I've had my hair a fair few colours over the years, but i only really ever had it un-naturally bright colours all over one time really because I couldn't stand how straw-like my hair got after the repeat bleaching. I first dyed my hair black from dirty blonde (my natural hair colour) when I was 15, then when I was 17 I had it purple, green, blue, bright orange and bright red. Then I dyed it a permanent red, then brown and then black again to get all of the bleached hair underneath grown out. Then just recently I got an undercut and had that dyed bright green and a portion of my fringe green too. It's much easier to maintain brightly coloured hair when its just a small portion of your hair that gets the brunt of the bleaching.

I have medium brown hair. I've done black before but I will never do it again because it made me look very washed out and sick. I've also dyed my hair red many times which people told me looked good. I just dyed it red for the first time in a few years for a fun change but I think I made a mistake since it's too vibrant and I look like a clown. Thankfully red is one of the colours that fade the quickest.

Growing up I always wished I could be like those scene queens on youtube who would make videos in their bathroom bleaching their hair/hair extensions and using all types of Manic Panic colours to make patterns like rainbow, coontail, cheetah, etc. That era seemed really fun although I'm sure their hair got fried as shit from all the bleach and hairspray and teasing. Unfortunately I was born a little too late to be able to participate in that subculture at it's peak.

I've become obsessed with split hair which I know is horribly egirl of me but it looks so good. It would be the first time I've changed my hair in a few years so drastically. I've done about every color in the past except yellow, green, and orange and it all turned out fairly well with bright blue being the best of them

>>7421
Split colors look really good!

im >>7421 and i took the plunge. My hair bleached out nicely to a strawberry blonde color and then toned to a nice and fairly light blonde with a hint of copper ( i do plan to do another toning and then maybe one more round of bleach towards my ends which are a bit dark). I've gotten a lot of compliments and people asking me how i've done it. im very pleased so far

Is your discharge any different? Could just be a good ol' yeast infection

>>7332
Did you change your routine or put anything abnormal in your vagina?

>>7334
Aren't yeast infections odorless?

I don’t think you should be using a cleanse. Just use water.

Take pro biotics made for women and it will fix that problem. You want the tablet kind.

You should see a gyno. Really. Pussied aren't supposed to smell.

I wear bralettes. I recently treated myself to a couple nice ones from free people (all on sale from asos) and I love them. I donated all my old normal style ones to a homeless charity and now only have bralettes. I have small boobs (I'm a B cup) but always wear a bralette when I'm out and about because I don't want anyone to see my nip outline and also I like my boobs to feel secure. I've never considered just covering my nips, I might look into this - thanks anon!

no bra, no nothing. i only use them in special occasions. all bras i ever tried hurt and make it hard to breathe (even sport bras/fitted bras. its a nightmare). even when i wear sport bras my boobs wiggle. my nipples are rarely hard but even when soft they protrude. i stopped caring about staring ages ago, i just want to be comfortable. im a E cup.

>>3569
I'd LOVE to be that girl that comes home from work and just let her boobs go free.
Or put some dress on and be like "hmmm maybe I don't need a bra for this one.

BUT NO. I even sleep in a bra. I had one for sleeping, one for the daytime activities one for the night out one for sport etc. Now I just have one type one color(black).


I would LOVE to wear these bralettes you gals keep talking about, they're pretty af. But it hurts too much.
Swimwear picking is impossible



(I'm not even overweight, my boobs are just too big and saggy, I hate them so much)

yes i wear a bra. i was stuffing myself into d cups. then i started having headches and shoulder pain. i went to a bra store. my size was a m cup. i wear goddess or elomi.

>>7424
>m-cup
Do these even exist?
