Was scrolling about Ray Peat on twt and currently there are three different diets inspired from it:
1. Fairy Princess Diet
2. Coke Diet
3. Honey Diet
I don't have any strong opinions on Mr. Peat ( rip ) but all of this sounds insane. I know protein isn't everything you need fiber and carbs and fats but claiming white sugar is helping you improve your metab is BS!!

Anonymous 03/28/25 (Fri) 04:31:31 PM21472

Added sugar should be avoided as much as possible.

Anonymous 04/06/25 (Sun) 02:42:08 AM21585

Too lazy to look up those diets, but I'm going to guess they work by limiting foods you can eat, thereby limiting calories. doesn't mean they're healthy.

I love Ray Peat and have felt best while following a diet based on his articles. Now of course, this could just simply be because during it I would watch what I ate more and snack healthily. But all I have to say is that thoes three different diets are so so retarded

Yup I get that. I don't like the Aspirin thing though.

I don't think I have pcos but i'm brown so I get an annoying amount of upper lip hair. trying learning how to thread or getting small facial razors that won't irritate your skin to use daily.

also i'm about the same weight as you and I think you just need to lose like 10 pounds or even now, you're fine. I hope the best for you. I wonder why >>21260 called you that

unironically and I know it sounds like alternative medicine bullshit but spearmint tea. I have PCOS where I get lots of facial hair on my chin especially and jawline/neck acne but once I started buying loose leaf spearmint only tea and having a cup or two of that a day (I recommend adding more hot water to the first batch for your second cup in the morning and having another cup of tea at night). when I tried this consistently, within the first week I noticed the jaw acne stopped coming back and it let the old ones heal and the chin hairs basically stopped growing minus one or two, but at rates much slower than usual.

what brand do you buy from nona?

Not op but you can buy spearmint leaves from the grocery store and wash it and boil it in just plain water for 5 mins on medium heat and then strain it and you have the tea.

Eyelashes Anonymous 04/05/25 (Sat) 11:03:02 AM21576 [Reply]

What's the best way to compensate for the fact I compulsively plucked out all my eyelashes (I only have small lashes remaining)? I literally cannot stop plucking them and I'd like to leave the house, honestly

Try compulsively plucking your armpit hair or pubic hair instead

Anonymous 04/05/25 (Sat) 07:51:12 PM21580

It seems like you either have or are developing Trichotillomania. Is this the first time you have done this? To not repeat in future find ways to deal with stress instead of taking out on your body. There are online resources available. Its just eyelashes nobody will even notice so just go outisde and have fun also never pull your eyelashes , eyebrows or any hair again or the hair will grow finer and patchy over time.

Anonymous 04/05/25 (Sat) 07:53:03 PM21581

Continuing this:
Buy a broom or something you can pull strands out of instead. I like to buy mats made by hand weaving and slowly pick individual strands out. You can do this with clothes too.

Something that involves de assembling things too can help. I like taking apart a Rubik's cube personally.

My eyelash problem is mainly caused by demodex induced itching, and my obsession about trying to get rid of my demodex. I haven't fully plucked an eyelash for a couple days, but I'm constantly trying to scratch my eyelids and one or two lashes have came loose from the scratching. I have tea tree oil but I'm not applying it enough

These black ones are the latest they are selling. So pretty

Thank youuu so much!! They have so many cute heels, but you were not exaggerating with the price at all, they are so pricey </3 I cant find any good dupes. Maybe check Born2be, they have some similar articles, but of course its not as pretty as the ones from Rene Caovilla. Or look on Zalando in general, they have sometimes have nice heels and if you are lucky enough they are on sale.
I guess if you really want ones from the actual brand try looking for resellers? A bit risky but I cant think of anything else.

Thankyou for the sources! Personally what I'm thinking is to get a shoe maker to make these for me. Whatever the price maybe it will be cheaper than this lol

Hydrosols are like the best thing ever specially in Summers. I'm currently using Rose and as soon as that is over I think I will go for some other flowers and herbs. It has really helped me with the oiliness on my tzone. I like spraying it on my freshly washed hair too. Spraying it on after a night shower feels so good too. Buy organic ones otherwise you will just introduce uneccesary chemicals to your body.

Binged today and did not sleep and kept spiralling about future. Washed my eye mask and bought the nivea blue tin cream. I have always wanted it just for the container. I really like that blue. I need to buy more floss. Buying underwear is a task actually. I'm always worried about buying them because what if I see my classmates there?! I need to make atleast two girl friends and have friendly conversations with men this year. God please let me fix my sleeping habbits before the month ends.

I should stock up on expensive fruits so that no snack money is left. I'm an adult with bigger fishes to fry yet I fixate on all this. I want to live near a beach or a mountain actually no mountains forests scare me more than sirens. But the fresh air you get in the mountains is unbeatable.

Doesn't it have a foil covering on top?! You can order online or get from a store where there is a shop keeper. Maybe Sephora or Ulta have it?

Yes but they rip the foil open anyway. I’m actually disgusted every time I go to Walmart but it’s literally the only grocery store near me that sells beauty products too.
I live in a poor neighborhood so I will have to spend money on a taxi or uber to even go to those stores.

Now that the weather is finally gettig hotter I will be showering twice. I used to be worried that doing this would dry my skin out and the damage would add up but then I realised I was just thinking too much. I have finally nailed my routine and I follow it daily. It is very minimal but it is consistency that matters.
After seeing everything that the market has to offer I find holistic beauty the best. That overpriced lip oil is definitely not worth it no matter what the influencer tells you some shea butter will just do the job and do it better. Also seal your eye cream ( so basically a moisturizer ) with vaseline or aquaphor for it to properly work.
I continue to struggle with my hair. It is in a better shape than 2022 but I want more volume more shine and more life. I still have to try the fino and the tsubaki and &honey. So many things to choose from!
Summer will be all about mint and fruit and cold air and burning wood. No candy please.
