anything with iron if you're deficient

I've thinking about getting into peptides eventually for skincare. Very underrated option for women as an alt to regular products or just straight up surgery. For now I just want topical rigin and injectable ghk-cu but pal-ahk and snap-8 seem to have good benefits as well. I've seen good results like tighter smaller pores this past month from topically applying deer antler velvet cream. I suspect it increases cell overturn through the IGF-1 (growth factor hormone) it contains.

im kinda blackpilled on skincare i havent been able to find any studies showing moisturisers work. maybe retinols and sunscreen but thats it

>>21863
i mean do you like having dry skin…

>>21863
I had to stop using moisturizer for a few months and my skin got really dry and my wrinkles got deeper. It's probably fine if you don't wear makeup that needs to be removed daily.

I tried quitting coffee once and the very next day I got 3 hours of sleep so I was right in front of of the keurig again and ever since.

>>21676
Ever since I have thought of quitting coffee I have started to drink it more …maybe its the exams or I have tricked myself into something …maybe I should just get non stimulating adhd meds

>>21680
The real solution is a consistent sleep schedule but that's like the one thing almost no one can do without significant discipline. I also heard working out makes you more energetic but I'm too tired to exercise so it's a vicious cycle.

>>21681
I like exercising and coffee helps me do it…I can work on the sleep thing ig

I googled convict condition routine handstand but didn't really find anything. I'm making progress, but I think I'm limited by strength.

>>21709
Its a book called Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. It gives you a progression plan to do handstand pushups, but since you just want to do handstands I guess it helps too. It discusses how to develop balance so that you can do them away from a wall and eventually do free handstand push ups. If strength is a problem you could always do pike pushups to get the feel of manipulating your weight through you shoulders and triceps

>>21716
I definitely need to work on balance, I will check it out. Thanks.

I started raised pushups today. I'm going to do as many sets of 5 as I can 3x a week.

Took a break and lost all my strength so I'm starting over on handstands again.

Well everything I take is endogenous to the human body or plants (the glutathione comes from white tomatos) so it's not synthetic molecules per se. I do get what youre saying about getting it from foods and stuff rather than pill form, however its not fully practical because of the massive amounts of tomatoes, grapes, etc. you'd have to eat every day to get the effective doses.

Decided to try using Magnesium to make up for the Mag losses that apparently happen after getting stressed and drinking caffeinated drinks.
Using the Magne B6 brand. (Magnesium Bisglycinate 400 mg + some B6 to go along with)
Feeling super sleepy but also super calm after my first pill, I'll see how it goes next. Picked bisglycinate specifically because it helps you sleep, but also because it absorbs really well.

Any other nonas using supplements?

>>20855
I mean, DNA damage is real and it's a part of our aging process.
But I don't know if there are any valid supplements against this, there's a lot of "longevity" stuff being sold under the guise of sciencey stuff right now, but they seem kinda like scams.
I think you're better off taking stuff that helps you reduce stress and strain on your organism instead.

>>21880
Feeling better a month later but I have no clue how much the Mag to be credited tbh.

I take vitamin b and vitamin c. Also prescription iron suppliments.

>>21903
wtf

You obviously didn't understand. I said my mom hates THE FACT I'M A GIRL. Not me.

Also, she is not a feminist but is a Catholic, very different.

>>21903
what is the correlation between her mom forcing her to buzzcut her hair and her being a pick me?? like genuinely how did you manage to leap to that conclusion lmao. and even if her mom was a radical feminist, she isnt practicing it correctly because the whole point of feminism is for woman to have full control and decision making when it comes to their mind and bodies- that includes hair. how is it radical feminism for a mother to force her adult daughter to get a buzzcut??

Been trying the No Poo method for a couple of months now
Alternating between diluted apple cider vinegar and diluted lemon juice. my hair looks better on the apple cider vinegar weeks.
Haven't tried baking soda or eggs yet, I think I'll stick with just the ACV but not sure

>>21979
My hair was a horrible, greasy mess after trying this. I hear that a water softener can help, though

yes just grow your real nails out

>>21968
you gotta file them down over the top part to apply. obviously doing this is bad for your nails

Yeah but it's not like you can't grow your nails out again.

Yes, the damage doesn't go away until you grow your nails out

>>21884
I asked for layers and she lazily only snipped like two strands of hair bear the front of my face

I wanted ash-blonde color hair. Showed pictures. Ended up with purple hair. I hated it. In retrospect I should've just enjoyed the ride.

Someone's going to think this is stupid but whatever.

It was a totally decent cut & color, but when talking about restaurants she made a joke about spitting in people's food in a way that gave me such an icky vibe about who she was as a person.

>>21884
When I was 16 I wanted to have orange hair, mine was really long and voluminous but instead of telling me it'd be impossible or that it'd take many sessions, they decided to do it all in one go. They started bleaching it from the top but by the time they got to the tips my scalp was fucking burning, like it was legit smoking. They rinsed it and then finished she process but for like the next 5-ish years, maybe more, that area of my scalp (back of my head) would feel gooey and my hair would grow as if perpetually humid.

>>22004
Did you at least like the orange hair?

I want big breasts so people stop mistaking me for a boy.

>>21883
People are going to ogle and judge no matter what you do. The only important thing is your health.

>>21704
I agree with most of this and this is a good training regimen for what you're targeting. I have to disagree on the yoga thing though. If part of your problem is chronic armoring and general tightness yoga can be helpful. I know you can just do indivual stretches for recovery, but doing them in a sequence that flows is more efficient time wise and just works better in my experience. I found using a logical progression/flow improves the effectiveness of the stretches themselves, and being able to enter a meditative state using the movements is extremely beneficial for your mental and physical health.

I just think taking a more holistic approach is better than being so super against yoga as a whole just because it's full of hacks and grifters just like every single other thing on this planet that is even remotely popular. If you can get past the heavily promoted bullshit there are genuinely excellent practices and teachers out there.

I do agree that telling people to do just yoga for back pain is not nearly enough and it should be done in combination with a strength training regimen.

I have small tits and I get sweaty under them and get red lines under them sometimes and I hate it, I can not imagine what it must be like if they're bigger

>>21174
I wish I wasn't a B.

>>21998
i understand where you're coming from, nona. it really does feel that way when you put it in that light

>>21995
This is not true. I'm into fat women, because they are soft and warm. :3

>>21995
>Men rape you twice as fast as they normally would when you are fat
Wait, really? I was at my heaviest last year and lost 20kg, but gained like 9 back this year. Was really struggling to find motivation because I'll see shit about men being abusive or preying on women and my mind goes "Why would I want to lose weight and become pretty then, that'd only make me an easier target" so I forgo my diet again, even though I do want to lose weight. But if what you say is true then maybe I should, just so I don't look like someone they can take advantage of, or something, I don't know.

>>22001
It may be somewhat true. Abusers go for the vulnerable, which being fat is often a sign of. (lack of confidence, neuroticism, trauma, etc) Girls who were abused are both likelier to become fat and get abused again.

I am but it's not so bad, I've recently been losing some weight too so I'm even less fat but it's never been bad enough that it affects my movement or anything like that. It's not too hard to hide the belly, either.

Eh, what makes him such an attractive character to many is simply because he's very undefined, making it easier for people to project whatever they want onto Leon. The same can be said with many other male characters in fiction.

I thought he was cute when I was in high school. I remember absolutely nothing about his personality or backstory tbh.

>>21954
He looks better in the fanart imo because the RE games' artstyle looks ugly to me and they made him look greasy. Also in the future he becomes fat which is a turn off personally, I like him as a twink
