Whats your budget on hb
I don't buy any makeup except for lipsticks because oh yes pretty colours love it. Lipsticks last long even though I use them almost everyday. I have about 4 I think and it's been more than one year or two that I didn't buy any.
I don't spend a lot on haircare because I use what I have in my kitchen to wash and do masks. I think it's been more than one year. I only bought recently two products to try because it's made for curls. Cost me about 40 euros but I don't mind since I didn't buy any hair product for a while and it is quality stuff.
I don't buy much skincare products either, now good soap is enough for me. Recently I used pH neutral stuff I buy at the pharmacy. Costs less than 10 euros for 2 soaps if I remember correctly. But i swap a lot because I like to try soaps. I avoid conventional ones so I either buy stuff at the pharmacy or at bio shops.
As for health well I'm really inconsistent with the way I nourish myself so… It's either I spend way too much on junkfood or nothing at all or I'm being a good girl who buys nice meat and a bit of vegetables and fruits. I avoid fish now because it's so overpriced for its worth now with all the pollution. Too bad cause I do love the taste
I don't spend money on meds I don't live in US
Im taking better care of my illness tho. (It's not mental)
So in one year I usually don't even spend 100 euros in Health and beauty.
Are there others who completely don't wear make up?
I've never wore make up, and I don't think of putting it on in the near future. I don't have skin problems and I like my skin, also I don't see things that need to be changed on my face.
All the women my age I know wear make up.
Anyone in CC that does the same?

how do get rid of septate hymen
I have a septate hymen that I first learned about when I was about 11 and started trying to finger myself and use tampons. Thanks to yahoo answers I knew what a hymen was, so I wasn't concerned about that but I was concerned because I realized I had 2 holes. Over time I managed to stretch it enough to fit a tampon or about 2 fingers inside (though the first few times I used a tampon I panicked quietly because it almost got stuck). I never said anything to anyone because I was embarassed and worried about it.
Well, fast foreward to today and sex with this stupid thing is pretty fucking painful and it won't just break. The opening of my vagina is sore after today, my 2nd time having sex. My BF is pretty well endowed which makes the issue a little bit harder to deal with.
Anyways is there a way I can get rid of it or deal with it without surgery? I'd rather not have a hymenectomy but I don't see any other options, I was just wonderinf how you guys have dealt with it.
Too small
My whole life I wanted to be tall you might even say big(but not fat).
I felt pretty tall in high school where boys were short and I was slightly above average girl.
But now I feel short all the time.
It's horrible, I always hoped I will have a next growth phase but it never came.
I am not even really short(170), but I wanted to be much taller(at least 180).
I can't even take growth hormone now because it won't do anything. I am so sad, I thought it will pass, but it never did. As time passed by I was feeling worse and worse that my dream will never come true.
I want to revert time and hop on growth hormones, but even when I was kid I started realising what they are when I already stopped growing and it was too late. Boys have it easier because they have much longer to take it.
I am sad, and I don't know what to do with myself, it haunts me all the time.

What are your experiences with ssris?
I'm tired of having no interest in anything except for hating myself. I want friends and hobbies and to date.

eating disorder thread
eating disorder thread - its time for another
do you have an eating disorder?
which one?
are you attempting recovery?
how long have you had it?
what caused it?
how does it disrupt your daily life, if it does?
i have a purging disorder.
i kind of want to attempt recovery sometimes, then i see something like my crush looking happier talking to another girl thats skinnier than me, i think about how much better i could look/how i could compensate for my stupid ugly fact, and i think about the comments my dad gives me when i 'eat bad' even though im 19 bmi/skinnier than him (hes overweight, i think.) ive had mine since i was 13. i was a fat child growing up because my parents didnt know how to feed me, and instead of giving me healthy food they just called me fat/made fun of me. it disrupts my daily life heavily because i cant eat anything without purging after, and it just ruins my mood and has disrupted my health. ill be devastated if i go up 0.1 a pound
nylon stocking hate thread
I don't get it. Why buy and wear them at all?
They don't really cover your legs, at all. I still have to shave my legs when I wear them because you can still see all the hair matted down in them because they're literally see through.
They don't keep your legs warm, at all. You might as well wear absolutely nothing.
They're extremely uncomfortable with practically no benefit at all.
On top of that, they constantly rip and get runners in them and are good for like maybe 3 uses max.
Just get some normal winter stockings made out of stronger material that have a purpose.
Seriously, why buy these things unless they're the nicer fashion kind with patterns on them or something? They have no fucking purpose.
I'm fucking tired of clothing companies making using their shitty and pointless products fashion etiquette and brainwashing the whole population into wasting their fucking money.

Hair thread
What are some of your favorite hair related YouTube channels?
What's your hair routine?
Do you take any supplements/do (you think) they work?
What do you do to feel pretty?
I know I can look pretty, but I think feeling pretty might be better for me since I believe that the mental aspect of feeling good about myself is more important than just putting it on.
Some evenings I do a simple sudocrem facemask and out some oil in my hair. That makes me feel better about my appearance than putting on makeup or getting dressed up, likely because I've pampered myself.
Idk if this is weird but there are some specific albums that make me feel pretty when I listen to them
Anavar cycle
I've been lifting for a year with minimal results and I want to try Anavar but I'm a little scared. If someone with experiene could answer a few questions that would be great. Is it safe? Are there any sides? How much do I need to take and for how lobg? How much muscle can I expect to build on it? Before/after pics would be appreciated. Thank you.
Period Discussion General
Discuss any findings from the period survey >>9534 or any other period related things here.
One thing that surprised me from the survey was how many women have at least one extremely painful day every month, yet this is barely spoken about and all women are just expected to get on with things.

PLANT RESURRECTION AND REHABILITATION
You don't throw your dog out because it got fleas. ITT we discuss rehabilitating plants, treating diseases and illnesses in plants, and sharing useful new research (or old knowledge) that involves keeping plants healthy. This is not a general gardening thread, this is a hyper-specific PLANT RESURRECTION AND REHABILITATION thread for the hardcore plant lovers.
It's on /hb/ because it's for plant health and plants are beautiful, I don't think that logic can be disputed.

I have a lot of trouble finding clothes for my size. I try my best to find fitted clothes but they always end up just a bit too baggy on my waist or hips. My current favorite brands are Uniqlo and Everlane, but even they miss the mark sometimes. Any recs that aren't as basic?

How can I lose weight without physical activity? I hate sports and gyms and also a vegetarian. Is there hope for me(can do hard diets) or should I just start puking my guts off
Books about self-care
Anyone got any self-care books to recommend?
I'm thinking anything that has to do with bettering yourself, both physically and mentally
Weight loss
I'm only allowing myself to eat a maximum of 400 calories a day and doing brisk walks for one hour (I'm trying to increase the time gradually.) My weight is 49kg and I'm 5'0, which means a little bit fatty. How much weight will I lose in four months? I don't look pretty enough, so I'm going to try and lose weight instead.
abortions
Hot topic, but what's your opinion of it? I don't like the fact that so many young people act like it's nothing, it's a quite serious topic with many angles to look at it from.
In my opinion abortions should be available until the 8th week, which is around the time the nervous system and brain reach a level of development where the fetus can be called "conscious".
Special circumstances should be available for rape victims.

Healthy comfort foods
Habitual eater here, I want to take better care of my health and skin and not eat as much crap. What are nice non-garbage comfort foods?
I crave salt more than anything.
Where do you buy your bras, miners? Any brands you particularly like?
I definitely value comfort over looks when it comes to bra-shopping. My favorite are Maidenform's wireless bras. I hate underwire on bras and I hate clasps on adjustable straps that tend to show through tight-fitting shirts - this one has neither. But I dislike some aspects of the the design. The big bra cups and wide straps sometimes show when I try to wear a lower v-neck.
PCOS Treatment?
Maybe a weird place to ask, but any other femanons struggling with PCOS and not knowing how to treat it? I don't trust using birth control pills or the like because many seem to report a slew of shitty side effects messing with their already messed up hormones. I don't trust my doctor and don't have a gyno appt. until May.
I noticed symptoms about a year ago and got an ultrasound to confirm the ovarian cysts, and as of the past month I'm noticing an uptick in hormonal acne and I'm starting to notice thinning hair at my scalp. Looking back at old pictures it seems my hair growth slowed down majorly in the past 3 to 4 years and I don't know if that's due to unrecognized PCOS or poor diet (I've struggled to meet my nutritional needs for years) or just genetics or something. I imagine my diet has contributed to developing PCOS. I see a lot of women treat it "naturally" with herbs and supplements but they all say different things.
The effect on my appearance has been contributing to a newfound intense body image insecurity.
How do I get naturally curly/wavy hair? No perms, no curling irons, etc.
Favorite/Sexiest Men's Clothing
I'm curious. What type of clothing do you like to see on men? Care to post examples? I love muscular men who wear black v-necks for some reason…

Which makeups brands/products do you reach for every day? Do you keep up a skin care routine even on days you skip make up? Discuss.
Fine hair struggles
I’m losing hope in ever being able to style my hair and it’s been this way forever. It’s not that it doesn’t grow or that I have hair loss, but the actual strands themselves are thin. So it ends up feeling like I have barely any hair to work with. If I pull it back there might as well be nothing there. Is there any hope for something I can do to change this or do I just resign to wigs and extensions?
i am self conscious that smiling will accelerate wrinkles so sometimes i force myself to not smile but then i hear that smiling makes you beautiful so which is it?
Has anyone here tried an animal-based (not fully carnivore) diet?
If so, how did you feel? Did you see any positive changes to your health?
Does anyone else feel alienated by the way people talk about puberty? Maybe it's because I was a fat, loserly child so I had bigger concerns (no pun intended), or maybe it's because my family was chill and accepting. Either way, I have zero emotions positive nor negative towards puberty and it makes me feel alone.
chest pain after running, could it be serious?
(reposting from anothet site)
So basically four days ago, I
-went for a short, brisk run
-everything was fine while I was running
-but after like a minute of rest i:
-felt a tightness in my chest
-hearing faded out
-vision faded away
-legs so weak i can barely walk (fell in the ditch, on the road)
-an intense pain all over my body (so bad i had to yell)
-tightness/heat in my scalp
i ran once for 4 minutes and felt fine, took a moment to just walk, then ran again for 4 minutes and after the second run the incident occured. started to feel better after i fell down for the third time and just laid there.
i'm 5'7, 146 pounds, 18 years of age. female. my lifestyle is very sedentary. i'll admit i was dressed inappropriately for the jog (like boots + a face mask) . also i don't smoke and i'm not taking any meds.
only asking because my chest still hurts. it burns a bit, and i have had difficulty breathing. my chest has been hurting constantly since the incident, not enough to keep me from walking around and talking (tho i prefer to be laying down). sometimes i get dizzy.
here are random sypmtoms i jotted down last night
>my chest has felt cool
>my chest has ached (twice)
>my hands have felt tingly
>hard to breathe, like i haven't got enough air
>a balloon in my chest
>for a few seconds periodically i have felt a clenching sensation
>my chest has felt warm afterwards
>have felt a tightness in my lower belly
>when breathing in it felt tight
>when i lay down i can feel my heart beating sometimes
>also i felt cold, but there was no sweat
what say you, /hb/?
i'm guessing it's not heart related because the pain is constant.
also the pain isn't so bad that i can't walk around and talk, i just get woozy occasionally.

Wikipedia's quote about it:
"
The disease has been known since 1750, and was first described in the diary of Rev. Oliver Hart from Charleston, South Carolina:
"On Thursday, April the 5th, 1750, I went to see a most deplorable object of a child, born the night before of one Mary Evans in 'Chas'town. It was surprising to all who beheld it, and I scarcely know how to describe it. The skin was dry and hard and seemed to be cracked in many places, somewhat resembling the scales of a fish. The mouth was large and round and open. It had no external nose, but two holes where the nose should have been. The eyes appeared to be lumps of coagulated blood, turned out, about the bigness of a plum, ghastly to behold. It had no external ears, but holes where the ears should be. The hands and feet appeared to be swollen, were cramped up and felt quite hard. The back part of the head was much open. It made a strange kind of noise, very low, which I cannot describe. It lived about forty-eight hours and was alive when I saw it."
"

Are some women really just not suited for long hair? I'm trying to grow it out but I end up looking like picrel.
My mother is vehemently against me having long hair because she keeps saying "Your hair looks bad long", "You aren't meant for long hair" etc.
I've wanted it to be at least waist-length since I was very young but even I am starting to notice it looks like shit these days compared to when I had it shorter.

how to start eating healthier?
I'm trying to lose weight and have started gymming regularly as well. I've attempted to begin eating healthy multiple times and have always given up because it just seems like such a huge and daunting life change. It honestly overwhelms me and the abundance of articles and clickbait online also overwhelms me. Does anyone here actually eat healthy and what are your tips for starting and maintaining this lifestyle? I really do want to change, but I don't know where to begin.

Gothic/Alternative Thread
It says that general fashion is permitted here, so how about a gothic/alternative fashion thread? Western, not gothic lolita.
Gothic rock started in the UK in the 1980s and is an offshoot of post-punk. The subculture that was based on the music survived through the decade and to this very day still has many "followers". Many fashion styles have been connected to goth, and they will be discussed here.
A list of some goth bands (NOTE: There are way more bands than I listed. I just posted the more popular ones):
Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Alien Sex Fiend, Christian Death, 45 Grave
Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Love Spirals Downwards, etc.
Such styles include 1980s goth, deathrock, victorian, cybergoth, etc.

Bullying
Brother told me I probably couldn’t have children, being an asshole again. Does anyone have advice for how to combat these pricks that comment on appearance and whether or not I can have kids? I’m thinking maybe throwing tampon at him would be the ultimate fuck you to that comment
Anyone else feel absolutely miserable after shaving? As soon as I dry off after getting out of the shower, the itches from all those tiny cuts set my body on fire and get so painful that I end up nauseous and lightheaded for the next few hours. Does anyone know what I mean? Anyone know what to do to ease the pain?
Water fasting
Would it kill me to go on a water fast on my period? I don't have anything to do for the next two weeks and I wanna lose weight so I'm thinking of fasting for 10 days or maybe longer if I can stand it. The longest I've gone without food was 9 days but that was a couple years ago
Does anyone have any experience with fasting?
currently trying hard to lose weight. im just slightly overweight, a bit chubby, i usually work out but i eat a lot so it cancels out, ive been eating less lately on a calorie deficit and working out more, but i didnt lose any noticeable weight yet and gained unwanted muscle mass in my legs instead. my legs look like tree trunks. pls haelp

Former amateur glima fighter here. Here's some good shit you can do that we learn in true combat courses:
Dirty clap tackles. Stomp on one foot and pin it down. Crouch and grab the opposite leg by the ankle and quickly stand up pulling the leg with you. As you stand put all of your weight into the opponent's chest via your shoulder and fall forward using them as a cushion. You will crush their diaphragm. This will likely puncture the lungs with the rib tips if you are heavy, and can be lethal. Regular clap tackles are a legal wrestling move wherein you do not stop the foot. Dirty ones hurt like hell and throw your opponent back faster.
Grab the nose between your thumb pad and index knuckle. Squeeze as hard as you can and pull up sharply. DO NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF. DO NOT PRACTICE ON YOURSELF. This will destroy the nose. The bleeding will be so extreme that it may drown your opponent.
If you manage to land a bite, do not let go. Continue to clamp as hard as you can and shake your head until whatever flesh you grabbed comes clean off. If a fight is nasty enough that you need to bite, don't be afraid to rip someone's throat or shoulder out.
If you are significantly larger and stronger than your opponent you should not fight them traditionally. Rely on grapples and forced clenches. If your opponent if less than half your size pr weight it is likely you can squeeze them out with a bear grapple. Wrapping an arm around the thigh and slamming their head into things also works.
Generally if you are big enough that you can pick up or throw your opponent cleanly off the ground you should do it. Look for sharp furniture edges, curbs, and glass to make this more effective.

My grandfather was a trench raider in WWI, who insisted on passing some stuff on:
grab, twist, pull the nuts drops every male alive on the spot. It’s basically the first thing they teach Marines.
a thumb gouge to the eye is only the start - once your fingers are firmly in the eye socket, it’s a handle to use to smash the head into things.
don’t head the head, hit the throat - the Adam’s Apple if you can, but anywhere on the front or side is incapacitating.
ax stomping with the heel destroys pretty much anything it hits, and is possibly fatal if delivered to the solar plexus, throat, or temple.
if you have a knife, don’t let them know you have it until it’s in them. If you use it, use it to kill, as quickly as possible - repeated deep stabs to the body mass as fast as you can deliver them, or big full-armed swirling action in the guts.
And for all of the above, plus the stuff on the main comment - you don’t bring these out unless you’re playing for keeps. The minute you try any of them, the other person will be trying them on you. No halfway measures. You put them down hard and fast, or prepare to get fucked up in turn. Fights have unspoken rules because losing a fight hurts and is embarrassing, but isn’t incapacitating. These cripple for life.

Birth control questions
Pic unrelated
How do you feel about birth control ? I dont need it and honestly I dont trust it, but Im wondering if the anti birth control opinion is 100% right considering how some women testify that they took pills or smth to help for something else and that it worked. I still dont think its safe (making someone infertile even temporarily seems just not trust worthy for me, but i dont know how it actually works anyway) but I wonder to which extent.
oversized crop tops
oversized crop tops are amazing.
last year, Target had a limited run of Sailor Moon 25th anniversary shirts. unfortunately for me, they were crop tops. i hate crop tops, but i was determined to own and wear this, so i bought an XXL. i normally wear a medium, but i actually love how this shirt fits. it's probably my fav shirt as of right now. has anyone else done this?

I seen this girl posted on lolcow. Apparently she is heavily disliked because she posts in the body positive tags preaching about the struggles of beauty standards/body image while she looks like this.
The person who posted this says that the problem is not that this girl is skinny or pretty. The problem is that she is aware that she is skinny and pretty, has identified a space where people use her body type as an example of "societies idea of a perfect woman", and proceeds to post to that space showing off her body to stroke her ego.
I agree with the poster. I don't think it's right to hijack a movement based around struggling with image just to show off how well you fit the standard. It's incredibly obnoxious and she should just be honest about what shes really doing and stop pretending she has the same struggle as everyone else when some women literally die trying to acheive her "genetic" look.
What do you guys think?

Watery as fuck discharge
Anyone else get so much discharge that you feel like you've peed yourself and it soaks through your pants? What the hell is up with that?
I usually get it when I go out in the cold when it's winter and get chilly. Now I'm living in a house that's chilly except for my room, so whenever I go out to grab something I get slimy and it annoys me so damn much. I've been having more discharge more frequently and I'm not sure if it's just feeling cold or something else.
I know that it's not pee because I can hold myself, and my panties look all slick/shiny, not just wet. Unless you can pee out slime or something???
why does this happen
Ideal Body Type thread?
What's your ideal body type, anons?
Are you into being thin, or curvy, or maybe fit? Were you born a cone shape but long to be a pear? Or maybe you're a banana but would rather be an hourglass?
I'd like to hear your opinions and what you're doing to get there!
Hysterectomy questions
I'm a younger woman who had to have a hysterectomy due to medical problems out of my control. I'm six weeks post op and having problems. The doctors listen, but don't comment or offer advice on it all. They also kick the responsibility back and forth. 'not my area of expertise' they say.
Has anyone else had hives outbreaks, intestinal issues, and rapid weight gain after hysterectomy. I am not FTM, so I am not taking steroids. Just a XX with medical issues.
Does anyone here have any experience with reusable sanitary towels? I've usually always used the Always brand but I've recently found out how toxic their products are. I'd like to get into the reusable ones but I don't know how effective they are and how comfortable.
overpriced and overshilled garbage thread
Have you guys used Olaplex? What are your thoughts on Olaplex treatments?
People are shilling this shit like it's the second coming of Christ. i've tried the 3 step system no less than 4 times now and it has done virtually nothing to my hair. i switched to the Aphogee 2 step system and it's like night and day. Aphogee is amazing yet it gets no love from the haircare community in comparison. is it because it's not gatekept by license required shops? plus it's not $200 for 16 oz.
Ballet Clothes
I'm going to be starting adult ballet lessons soon. I've been trying to find cute ballet clothes made from natural fabrics but nearly everything is polyester. I'm really surprised as I would have thought there would be a huge market for high end ballet clothes.
I want to have a few cotton leotards in different colours and arm lengths, real silk sheer wrap skirts, tights made from a natural material blend, and wrap cardigans from wool or cotton. I get really sweaty in synthetic materials, even when not exercising.
So far all I've been able to find are black cotton yoga pants and a leotard, both from Katz Dancewear, and random cardigans from non-dance brands.
Anyone know any brands that sell this sort of thing?
Pic related is the look I want (the costumes were made specially by Rodarte).
chubby face, skinny body

any women that dress without showing/barely showing skin?
hello! thirdworldsis here! I am short (5'2/1.56) I tend to love all things usually considered 'feminine' when it came to dressing (crop tops, short dresses and skirts, high heel boots, fishnets, see through shirts over tanktops, etc), however, I'm interested in changing my style into something that covers me up much more (not because I think what I previously wore was wrong, but becuase I've been harassed in public and I'd rather avoid that as much as possible.) I always liked to be stylish and creating outfits, I know I can still be stylish and have a non-boring style with this clothing shift, but I'm so unfamiliarized w it that I don't know where to start, I also want to still express the feminine aspect through clothes that aren't generally female only ones (unlike skirts, dresses, crop tops, higheel boots, etc). Help? recommend me yt channels or any resources to get inspiration, or tell me about your personal style choices

Anyone here feel like they just look like a scarecrow or cheap whore when wearing makeup? I've recently been trying to get into it, to looksmax, but I feel like I end up looking ugly but with makeup and like picrel. Maybe it's because I just bought a bunch of cheap drugstore stuff to try. I can't afford any high-end makeup at the moment, though.
Big breasts thread
Who here /titcow/?
There is a small breast thread, so I thought we could make one too to discuss our ailments/blessings.

>How has it affected you growing up? Any bad experiences with moids? Any nastiness from other girls?
>Has anyone ever made assumptions about your personality/character/libido because of your breasts?

Female hair loss
I have been losing hair like crazy and I'm pretty certain I have androgenetic alopecia. I don't have any obvious bald spots but my hair has thinned out like crazy. I had to shave my head because I couldn't deal with the stress of it all. Are there any bald s out there willing to give some advice on how to deal with it? I'm considering starting minoxidil and/or wearing wigs but I would love some input from anons who are going through the same thing.

my thighs are disproportionately big compared to the rest of my body and i want to make them smaller. the rest of my legs look normal but i kind of hate my thighs. even now i’m underweight and they’re still big. is it just genetics? is there an exercise i can do to help?
Please help me
Ok, so I have a trully really heavy period and the only menstrual product I am confortable with is one-use sanitary pads, but the enviromental guild is killing me.
I've tried menstrual cups but these didn't work - they were too painfull and the blood was too much for them to handlezalso I remember that everytime I pulled it out the menses was to the top and overflowing. I tried tanpons but I always leaked with them, also it was really unconfortable.
There were times when I used cloth sanitary pads that can be used for more than once, but the cloth could not hold the blood, and the flow was too fast and strong for them to keep up.
The only products that trully protect from leaks, smell, messyness and can actually handle my pariods are one use pads, but I feel like I'm killing the enviroment and it makes me feel too guilty.
I've heard of menstrual sponges but never seen one in person, checked the prices doesn't seem too bad, are there other options?
Vaccine side effects
Anyone here vaccinated? Let's talk side effects.
please help me i hate scalp acne so much holy shit
I have very greasy scalp and hair and its so bad i get regular acne in my hair. I also get a lot of flakes because im picking at them and disrupting the whole scalp and then that makes it itchy which makes more flakes. I can't afford expensive shampoo treatments or oils what the hell do I do it makes me want to die
narrow hips
is it possible to stop being a hiplet? and before you screech at me about bone structure, i'm not talking about that.
there must be something that can improve the appearance of narrow hips. how far can muscles be built in that area? how narrow can i make my waist in order to exaggerate my hips? and how do i do these things?
Is there a guy or girl you want to catch right now? Do you have your eyes on them?
Am I developing an eating disorder, or is it no appetite?
I always had a hard time with eating since I was a kid. No, I wasn't picky, it's just that I could not consume the food from the entire plate, and I sometimes feel full from eating 1 small apple.
This tendency is coming back, from the last month I've completely lost my appetite - even for the hoiydays. Now everyday I eat only one meal, that can't even be called a proper dish. Sometimes I only eat one fruit or veggie, and if there are none I just go for a food that doesn't require cooking. I'm not lazy to cook, I am the one who mainly cooks for my family, so I have no problem with doing this task. Most of the time I can't eat the food I cook because I feel like I'll throw up.
I never bought in the beauty industry lies that my body should look a certain way, I am 167 centimeters and weight 44 kilograms.
I am worried I'm going down the path of anorexia without knowing it.

hair growth
recently ive been using argon oil to grow my hair longer and currently its breast length but its quite thinner than it used to be before i cut it. any tips for growing thick long healthy hair ?
if body image issues are such a big problem, why are there so many ugly people?
hear me out.
i can understand body image issues being a big deal among younger women. but it seems like once you leave your 20's they dissipate. i work at a grocery store and watch people come and go all day, and the vast majority of them seem to make little to no attempt at grooming themselves. a lot of them come in pajamas or just weird as fuck last minute clothing choices, most are fat and look like they haven't been to the gym in 25 years, most make no attempt at doing anything with their hair (including brushing it), and some smell like shit.
the easy answer is "poverty" but these people walk around with their well groomed teenage daughters that they're obviously providing for.
maybe it's because i have bdd but i have no clue how a majority of the population can stand living like this and then have the audacity to say, "beauty standards are so high and i'm so insecure!"
do women just stop feeling ugly after a certain age, or do they just live with it and stop trying?
Bangs too short
I went to a hair stylist who fucked up my bangs. They're too short and now my hair looks pretty much like a bowl cut. It's like a half inch above my eyebrows.
How long until they will be just below my eyebrows? How much of my bangs will grow per week?
Antique clothes thread
Do you s wear any authentic vintage clothes?
I got myself a few old garments this year and I'm really worried about ruining them. I'm especially concerned about sweat stains because I wear white blouses almost daily, I never had an issue with that until recently after wearing a velvet dress all day because I found stains on a tank top I was wearing underneath it
So:
>How do you care for you stuff?
>Do you find vintage clothes to be more durable?
>How do you avoid getting scammed?
Will adderall age me like meth? Since it's an amphetamine.
how do you accept looking twice your age?
I am developmentally delayed (from a mix of neglect and a debilitating illness) and now that I'm in my mid 20s I'm having massive amounts of people considered me in my early 50s and I get a lot of insults about it when people know my real age. It isn't like I have a lot of wrinkles but something about my face looks extremely ill and sunken despite being a normal weight.
I've been happy with improving; i.e., making some money freelancing, doing some government, legal and taxes stuff for people I know, etc., but there's still something extremely off about the way I come across.
It's really not fun at all being seen as someone mature and "dead-looking" according to everyone. I know even nice people aren't blind either. Oh to clarify I think most older women look good. It's just the way I look old is B-move horror type shit. I look scary.
And I don't like that I look scary. It makes me feel so ashamed to make people feel like that.
How do you separate how you feel from how you look and continue on your life journey peacefully and with excitement? A nasty part of me is feeling like my life is already over because I'm "not allowed" to do young people things or at least be silly around others. So I usually act like a brick wall. It's dumb. I go on tiktok and it's obvious that people truly and deeply hate it when older-looking people do awkward things. Or, well, not just that, but that people have massive hang-ups and obsessions with stuffing others into strict categories of behavior based off their obvious "numbers." I get it when someone does something actually morally wrong. But most of it has nothing to do with that. Maybe cringe is sometimes born from someone relating too hard to someone else being awkward.
The positivity stuff doesn't really help.
When did you get your first period?
As the title says.
I have a friend that has an 8yo daughter and she already has hairs under her arms. My friend is a little bit freaked out because she doesn't want her 8yo to get her period yet. I mean, who would want that?
I got mine when I was 11 or 12, and so did my friend. Do you guys think this is genetic? We've read stuff online about it but we want to hear your opinion. Also she has gone to the doc before and even though her daughter is not showing any "puberty signs", the doctor said that nowadays is normal to get their period earlier than before.
hello idk if this post is for /adv/ or here its just I wanted to ask.

Tips for quitting BC pill
Hey miners, my husband's vasectomy is going to be scheduled soon, so that means I can finally stop taking the demonpills (a.k.a. Lutera) and I am wondering if anyone can share their experience coming off of them? (BC in general if not specifically Lutera)
I have been taking them for about 4 years. I know they make me gain weight. (I used to top out at 120lbs, but now I cannot get myself under 140 with regular exercise/dieting) They also destroyed my sex drive. Though they got rid of my back/chest acne so I am not looking forward to its resurgence.
I have read horror stories about women becoming suicidal for a year after going off the pill, or turning into someone they don't recognize because the pills altered their hormone balance for so long. Anyone have some wisdom/experience/warning/tips for me?
At what age dis you start to menstruate?
How old were you when you first started to menstruate? I was 15.
Anyone here living with genital herpes? How do you treat outbreaks?If you don't have it how would you react to a date telling you they do? What if they didn't disclose it? I got it from a non disclosure.
my bf keeps popping his zits. sometimes he even calls me to look at him squeeze out the pus and blood. he says i'm the weird one for not popping mine and just letting them dry by themselves. my questions are the following:

ii. is he right?

Does it bother anyone else how fat positive the radfem movement is/can be?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for not caring what moids find attractive, but being fat or worse, obese is objectively unhealthy. I know moids say this as an excuse to insult fat women but moids use anything as an excuse to insult women, so yeah.
And when you bring it up they just go full libfem mode like "Not your body not your business" etc. and saying you can be overweight and healthy (even if you specifically state that being fat/obese is unhealthy, not just having a bmi of 25). Or that women should live not thinking about looking hot.
I just don't get it. Why is being fat suddenly acceptable now and if you're saying it's unhealthy you just want women to submit to beauty standards, but being underweight is a sign of a life threatening mental illness as a result of being surrounded with unachievable beauty standards?
Has anyone lost lot of weight while having PCOS?
I would really appreciate some weight loss tips that work. I tried keto but I can't seem to sustain it long.
why does drinking a lot of coffee make my knees hurt? staying up to 6am has also sometimes made this happen. i like coffee sm tho!!
Unsure if this is the right board, but does anyone here know of good websites to find photographers for lewd sets? Model Mayhem is pretty web 1.0 and I don't know if it's as active anymore.
Asking for a friend who may or may not be myself
What's your day to day routine like?
Is it tiring/boring or are you satisfied with it? What's something in your daily life that gives you comfort?
I don't know what's wrong with my metabolism.
I reduced my calorie intake to 800-900 cal/day for 1 week and didn't drop a pound. Didn't eat all day today to see if it made a difference but I broke down at midnight. I binge ate:
>2 Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls
>3 Tuna-only lettuce wraps
>3 slices of white bread
>1/3 lb shrimp with 1 cup okra, 1 cup peas
My e-friend called me a fatass over voicechat and I can't stop crying. I am genuinely putting in the effort to eat less but nothing is working. I'm 5'8 and 185 lbs. I'm almost 200 lbs.
Please don't comment pro-ana dangerous stuff, just healthy methods.
Is it true that when I get to my mind thirties I'm gonna start fattening up no matter how much I control my dieting or keep exercising? Or are the older women at work just filling my head with BS because -they- got fat in their thirties?
What beauty products should I use?
Hello, I'm a highschool student that has never used special beauty products.
I've always took good care of myself, showered every day, wash my hair with shampoo every 3 days, wash my face every morning and night.
All the products I used are: Showergell, soap, shampoo and hairmask.
Considering how many other products for hyegine exist like body butter, face masks, feetgell, face butter, hairfood, it starts to make me feel as if I'm not taking good enough care of myself.

Unusual BO since starting medication
I've been smelling like a mix of rotting garbage and soy after starting medication. Weirdly enough literally everything I excrete smells like this, and it's a pretty strong smell.
I've tried telling my psychiatrist about it but she has zero idea about this (she's not stopping anything or lowering the dose though as doing that would be much worse for my mental health) and the internet has nothing.
Has anyone else experienced this? How to deal with this shit? Is the smell even real (I didn't catch COVID or anything so I can't blame it on the flu)?
Do you guys like nails?
Cognitive dissonance on weight loss
I have been working on losing my corona weight and it's been going well be mentally I'm in conflict with myself and my beliefs every hour of the day.
I know that being skinny won't make me happy because I looked at my old pics when I was visibly skinny and had my ribcage visible and I still thought I thought of myself as fat and was too insecure to be social and identified as a femcel online (+ had some health issues that made my everyday life harder) so I know factually that my self-image issues are in my head and not my body, at the same time I have slightly more confidence in myself now and I've been feeling generally better when I allowed myself to eat the foods I enjoyed in quarantine.
I tell myself that my weight loss is merely caused by my desire to be able to wear the clothes I don't fit in anymore and that I don't have enough money for a new wardrobe but I can sense myself falling back a little into that old mindest where I'm so fixated on weight and the weight of everyone I see, crazy how I stopped caring for two years but now I'm back checking people's bodies full time and comparing them to mine, I can't even explain why I suddenly feel shitty and want to go home because I'll look stupid.
Going online seeing profat landwhales makes me wanna lose weight then seeing proanas with endless health complications makes me wanna keep being chubby.
I don't know what I want to do anymore regarding my diet and I keep on binging and restricting because I feel so conflicted.
How?
Tomorrow I want to start eating healthy.
I don't want to do this with losing weight as my main goal (although I would like that, too). I just want to try to eat in a decently healthy and balanced way, drink enough water and ideally work out. No counting calories or weighing because I used to be an anachan and I don't want to take risks.
I will try to use this thread for accountability, and maybe post recipes or updates sometimes - anyone else who wants to do the same or just share and talk about healthy eating in general is welcome! (I hope this is okay, I was gonna post in the ED thread but that would kind of defeat the intention of this plan not being a disorder thing.)
Anyone here used henna hair dye before? (Even better if you've used the brand in pic, I have a box of it I'm wanting to try.)
Looking for any tips- I have been bleaching and toning my hair a natural coppery red for a while, and did my roots about a month ago and hated the result (even though I used the same products as always, it went funky this time). I have heard that using henna too soon after dyeing with chemical dyes can do crazy shit to your hair, so I have been waiting. Now I have like 1cm of dark brown roots after a month of waiting, do you think this is a long enough wait to do the henna now?
Also, I have heard you need to leave it on for hours- I only ever tried henna once before years ago and it literally did nothing at all to my hair after letting it sit for 2 hours.
ovulation cramps
i've been having gross cramps for what it seemed all month long, it wasn't sharp pain but rather dull mongering cramp similar to pms cramps for half , i was worried that i had something wrong with my uterus so i went to an obygn and i got checked but i was healthy and my obygn told me that it's normal ovulation cramping. i have to deal with ovulation cramps, pms cramps, and period cramps, i just can't catch a break can i?
I have been using fermented rice water on my hair for two weeks now. Omg it is literally the best thing I have ever used. I don’t have to wash my hair as often because it doesn’t get oily and after washing, it immediately feels soft. If you have any problems with hair growth, I really recommend it.
Anyways I hope this helps someone
Cut on face, help please

Does anyone have any experience on this?
i finally bit the bullet that i am in fact never gonna look like an anime character and curled my straight bangs to the sides curtain bangs style, I am finally letting my bangs grow and keeping on the sides.
it looks more mature and fits my face better + i havent dealt with greasy bangs ever since i made the decision last week.
given a lot of miners are weebs and probably have straight bangs i highly reccomened trying curling them to the sides and seeing if it looks better.

Mild Drinking Problem/Alcoholism Thread
Take your shit attitude to lolcow. This is a comfy help thread.
I don't know if I have full on alcoholism yet but I'm getting there. I am 20, too young to buy alcohol in the U.S. but always manage to get my hands on it, which really worries me. If I don't have it, I am not ever happy. In fact I am often extremely depressed and will self harm, which is why alcohol feels so necessary. My goal is to one day make sobriety my most desirable state so that I won't need to drink.
I think it's lowered my immune system quite a bit because I got a UTI after a heavy binge with friends. That is a sign to stop drinking as it can irritate my bladder, but I just had 2 beers tonight. Really upset with myself.
How are the anonettes coping? How often/how much do you drink? Can you be happy or content without it? And most importantly, are you getting help?

I cant move around. Its killing my appetite, I can't eat. Currently crying in bed because in frustrated. I cant burst in myself. I'm so sore give me advice please

Might stop using Differin. I've been on it for over 6 months and I'm still breaking out and my skin is feeling dry. I've tried everything, including Accutane. I will never have clear skin.
Does anyone have any references to start getting into weight lifting?
This thread is really embarrassing to make but I’ve never really had any gym experience before besides the basic machines and would really love if someone could link a reference of some sort on how to properly use the more complex ones. I don’t really know any good exercise routines or how to use half the machines there so I’ve always felt really awkward and discouraged from going consistently. It could be anything from a YouTube video to just a thread or article, just any help would be very appreciated

group workout thread
ok ladies, i have a challenge for you all, if any are interested. let's post YT workouts for each other and anons can join in and post when they're done with the workout, and recommend what's next, or i can post subsequent vids, whichever. anons that join in should/could post which vids they've completed and where they are on our workout journey.
i, personally, do much better doing workouts as a group or team.
vid related is my contribution for workout no. 1 for us all. just basic arm pilates, no equipment necessary, but it WILL kick your ass swiftly! i personally like to do these 3 times. after arms, we'll do butt pilates next! hope to see you guys join in! group efforts boost morale and give incentive!
I am sweaty
I don't know why I sweat so much, but it happens even when I'm not fatigued, it happens when I'm nervous, walking, I always sweat now. I am a healthy weight and don't have a disease so why am I SWEATY?? I don't want to sweat this much.
Do any other miners have this moist problem and know how to solve this? Been happening for two years.
Cleaning / Organizing Thread!
Hi anons! I'm doing a deep clean of my apartment today and thought this would be a good topic.
Honestly, I have no idea how to organize my closet so I'd love to hear how you guys tackle this stuff.
Some misc. tips I have:
- I keep a spray bottle with a couple of drops of dish soap, 1/3 vinegar, 2/3 water. This is great for spot cleaning (especially on carpets (especially cat puke)), getting rid of hard water stains on shower doors.
-I try to make sure my kitchen sink is empty every night so that there's just not a pile of stuff waiting for me in the morning.
-I keep a tote by my door with broken down boxes for recycling so I can just take them with me when I take my trash out.
-I've been wearing my cloth masks while I'm cleaning with bleach / vinegar, it at least feels like I'm breathing in less chemicals
Do you apply sunscreen everyday? I read it's something we should do, but even in days I don't leave my house?
I thought about starting because my mother does it and her skin looks great for her age, but she uses other products too, so I don't know if sunscreen has anything to do with it.
Hi. Miner with dark skin here.
In high school I had terrible acne, yet to this day in my twenties I'm dealing with the horrible hyper-pigmented acne scars from my past acne.
Does anyone have advice on how to get rid of acne scars? Specifically ones with hyper-pigmentation?
Dressing for winter
Most of my closet consists of summer clothes (strapped tops, dresses, shorts etc) which is a big problem since i'll be starting uni in a very cold place this fall. any suggestions for must-own clothes so that i wont freeze and look good at the same time kek? i like dark academia, indie, goth and punk (without being too extreme), vintage etc etc
Dieting woes
I've been on a diet for 51 days and I've lost 10lbs so far. The problem is that I've been stuck at the same weight for like 3 weeks now. I haven't faltered in my diet at all.
I've been consistently in a calorific deficit and I can actually visibly see with my own two fucking eyes that I'm losing weight, but my scale number wont budge. I can't tell if I'm losing the weight and being gaslit by my scale or if I'm not losing weight and my mind is just pretending that I'm losing weight.
On the bright side I do feel quite good about myself and I think I'm looking well but christ there are only so many times I can tell my food diary application that I'm going nowhere before I start getting frustrated
Someone please help me get rid of my dandruff, it's disgusting.
I have curly short to medium hair and wash every 2 days. My hair is dry, so if I use dandruff shampoo (or any other) everyday it'll look bad. If i get to three days without washing it dandruff builds up and the itching stars.
I can't take this anymore.
how can i improve my looks ??
is it possible to minimize the appearance of my flaws w/ makeup or a hairstyle? if so what makeup techniques/style can I use?
here some of the problems w/ my face
>big nose
>wide/bulky-looking jaw
>facial fat around mouth area
I have some weird discoloration on my face (more yellowish, sometimes dark) around my mouth starting from the nose, kind of like the blue circle in this image, overlapping with red. The skin texture is completely normal.
Anyone know why?
Thank you.
Please address rampant anorectal violence & misinformation.
Blatantly injurious erotic anorectal violence—any anoreceptive activity involving a combination of rapid thrusting, considerable girth, and a prolonged duration—is rampant worldwide, facilitated by widespread (willful) ignorance, apathy, and misinformation. It is impossible for resultant injuries and serious/chronic/permanent anorectal health consequences to be uncommon due to the region's fragility relating to its anatomy and neuromuscular physiology [References: Anorectal Risks 1-3]. When more than one person is involved such violence should therefore constitute a severe crime for any penetrative person—especially if significant mental pathology, a strong judgment-impairing drug, etc. are involved.
Pornography featuring anorectal violence can have numerous effects on some viewers. It may serve as inspiration for their own activities, condition them to be aroused by suffering, and contribute to development of related mental pathology: sexual sadism disorder, sexual masochism disorder, and perhaps even psychopathy for younger individuals [References: Trends & Associations]. People with such inclinations, some affiliated with pornography companies, are having a field day with such violence and spreading disinformation. That unrestrained hedonism is promoting societal decadence.
Governments worldwide have not addressed those matters effectively, and many people are suffering as a result. First and foremost, educational systems under their purview are failing to adequately and accurately educate people about anorectal anatomy, physiology, health, and especially the traumatic risks of anoreceptive activities. Secondly, governments are failing to rein in out-of-control pornography industries over which they have jurisdiction. Lastly, for people who both 1) harm others for profit and 2) inspire countless viewers, governments are failing to ensure that they face severe criminal consequences: Some viewers are inspired to the point of emulation, even using coercion.
Help
I have a manly face and a big pointy chin. What should I do?
Anyone else here have really saggy boobs?
I grew up raised by a single father who pretty much neglected me. I didn't wear a bra until late middle school and i developed fast. Im 22 now and my breast have been 100% saggy (point straight down) for as long as ive known. They are also pretty big (F cup) and Im planning on losing a significant amount of weight and I know they will get worse. I dont think surgery is a option, do you think guys honestly care that much? Im a virgin but im scared that once i get into a relationship ill be scared that my SO will be turned off by my ugly boobs. I dont think surgery is a option. Is it weird to keep your bra on during sex?

i have two weeks to whiten my teeth, clear all my acne and lose 44 pounds
i'm so fucked miners WHAT DO I DO
… I started a new diet this week and I just SHARTED my fucking undies for the first time ever. I shat twice this morning but just now it felt like I had to fart. So I pushed hard hoping for a hilarious reverbing ass rip to echo through my home and instead I got a splurt of SHIT.
I'm the baaaad girl
Duh
Short & Tall girls
Which one are you?
Do you wish you could change your height?
Does it even matter that much when it comes to dating?
And for guys, do you have a preference?
Share, I'm curious.
I'm 155cm tall btw. And yes I do genuinely wish I was taller.
I'm only learning that my breasts are actually normal now. I'm almost 22. This entire time I've been comparing my breasts to models, movies, influencers, and only now do I realise that my breasts are just normal breasts. There was never anything wrong with them. I wasted my teens been so embarrassed of them
I dont even know if I can regain the confidence I've already lost to thinking they were bad or ugly breasts
Self conscious eating
Does anyone else eat different when they're around other people?
Going out to lunch with friends or family can be hard sometimes. I always feel like they're judging my meal. When I'm on my own I actually eat quite healthy but as soon as I'm in company I just get soup and don't eat the bread
Too much anxiety. I start holding the cutlery weird like I've never used it before n shit
I'm at around 15% body fat but I have the cheeks of a literal obese person. My cheeks are just so fucking chubby, especially when I smile. How do I get rid of this? I can't let people take photos of me because I look so bad.
/fit/girls
Anybody here workout?
I work out pretty regularly; regular weight lifting and strength training along with plenty of cardio. I can bench press 120lbs, but I've gone as high as 150lbs on good days.
It's come to the point where friends and family have taken notice because I've become considerably more muscular.
Sometimes I contradict myself because I don't want to be known as the buff girl, but I love seeing those numbers climb on the smith machine. And I can physically do more than I ever was able to before. I don't want to lose that.
Does anyone else here have a workout/exercise regime? Doesn't matter if it's only cardio or if you're a gym bunny like me. Let's talk about it!
Disability general
I don't think there has been a thread for those who might have some form of disability here. This thread is for discussing any problem related to a disability, it can be a mental or physical problem as long as this thread can help you feel less alone in this struggle it is all that matters. I personally have issues related to my hearing, I am curious to see if other anons do too here.
Realistic body hair image and discussion thread
I used to always have an issue with feeling "too hairy" despite it being totally normal and healthy, specifically because our body hair is so purposely hidden by media and the spectrum of normal body hair is wide, it made me feel really shitty. I recently came across images of celebrities with body hair (not just pits like we all have), but stomach hair, noticeable vellus chest hair, back hair, and it's very reassuring. I know a lot of girls and women have body image issues and could just be feeling like they're more hirsute than normal when they're actually not, or have PCOS, or just come from a genetic background that is slightly more fuzzy than some others. So here are pics of celebs that we normally classify as being "perfect" and assume are hairless.
Here's Vanessa Marano with upper back/neck hair. These are HQ pics, so you'll have to zoom in for most to see. I hope this kind of thing helps other anons to feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Have any of you ever been able to transform yourself to Stacy? How did it change your life?
Have some of you considered to dye your hair ? Natural or unatural color ? Is it a disaster ? Was it pretty good ? Share your expreciences !
What advice would you give to an anon who just cant fashion?
Is lolita fashion still alive ?
>tall and skinny with a good jawline is considered the absolute peak of female beauty by women and people immersed in aesthetics
>meanwhile most men like plastic midgets with fake asses and fuckhuge titties and recessed jaws
Explain this. How did this shift take place? Hardcore shilling by the media to push the Kardashians? Or did they take off because men like that crap?

I haven’t been able to reup on my birth control. I just got off my period two days ago and haven’t been able to get birth control since it’s been the weekend. I had sex today and my boyfriend asked if I was taking my pills and now I’m paranoid I’ll get pregnant
How do you guys deal with gyno visits?
I need to go eventually but i'm terrified of anyone touching me or puttings things up there due to past trauma. And all the gynos i visited were so damn impatient that i wouldn't have trust in them to deal with me crying and such, my insurance is shit so there are no other ones.
Food you miss when dieting
(This is only half a joke, I'm on a diet and it sucks that I can't be a glutton)
Eddie Rockets secret sauce EXPOSED
So I'm on a diet right now. For lunch, I had a salad. my salad was tuna, lettuce, and tomato. Simple light lunch for 128 calaroos. But undeniably boring on it's own.
Que Eddie Rocket secret sauce. You will notice it says "the secret is out in the package". Yes, Eddie, yes it fucking is.
I'm actually quite a fan of Eddie Rockets restaurants. Admittedly, this is probably part of the reasons I need to go on a diet to begin with. I had no idea the fucking sauce was like 20% of the calories in a burger??? Thise fucking things are listed as 300ish cals on the menu, how the hell is such a huge chunk of it a tsp of sauce??
Diets suck WHAT THE FUCK. Peanut butter, then bananas, and now this.
Anyway, anyone else have food they miss on diets? Mine is this and a lot if fruits
Prematurely ageing
The stuff that my dermatologist gave me for my acne gave me noticeable premature wrinkles, and I STILL have acne, woohoo. I kept making sure with her, and she just brushed it off as normal, no big deal, your skin will become normal once the treatment is over. F-ing liar. I hate this. I look like 7 years older. I don't have the best looking face and this made me even more depressed. Whenever I try to improve it just blows up in my face, either by bad luck or people treating me shitty because of obvious autistic body language, thinking that they can get away with it.

Skin whitening
Is it possible to actually get pale with products? I see lots of korean beauty influencers getting really pale with creams and stuff but everytime I try them, nothing changes. I feel like nothing ever changes. Same for kojic acid soap. Never did anything! My skin is probably as dark as Salma Hayek. She is a really beautiful woman and I think all skintones can be attractive but me, personally, I don't wanna be dark. Everytime I use a filter that makes me lighter it makes 10x times prettier.
Anyone here tried any cream that worked for them?
(also no point in telling me to love myself blablabla, i do like myself i just wanna be paler it's the same as paler women wanting to get tan. nothing is wrong with it.)

feeling smug
does anyone else feels smug when they see a girl with an ugly characteristics that you don't have? for example; i've always been thin and whenever i see a fat person -women especially- i think i'm kinda superior to them. (fucked up i know). my appearance was somewhat ugly-average until i got a bit hotter a year ago so it might be just pettiness
anyone know this style of makeup?
I see this type of eye makeup alot of pinterest usually of white slavic girls. Ive been trying for months to figure out what this style is called so i could find tutorials on it but nothing ever give this look a name.

Anger
Does anyone have any good tips on controlling and losing anger?
I can't remember what it was like to not be angry and misthropic all the time. I just want to let go and enjoy life and maybe believe in people again. But it's so hard and I just hate people, they can be so rude, mean and fucking retarded.
I read somewhere about killing the ego. Like I understand that I'm not the greatest or the smartest and make a lot of mistakes myself. But that doesn't help me when I face entitled customers. And I don't like the whole "you don't know what they're going through," speach because to me it doesn't justify shitty behavior. And then on the internet sometimes its inevitable seeing something upsetting.

How to Dress Cute but Modest
I have to follow some strict modesty rules. For example, skirts and dresses have to be at least below the knee, no pants, nothing low cut, shoulders covered etc.
How do I do this without looking like an old lady or amish or weird?
I want to just look cute and normal. I’m already ugly in the face so I don’t want to make myself look any weirder. But these are the rules I have to follow. Any outfit ideas?
Ugly beauty/fashion trends
Fellow miners! Lets talk about the beauty/fashion trends you don't like, find unappealing or just don't understand the hype about them.
Thongs suck
How do I cope with this shit being up my butt all day. My boyfriend likes them but I feel like I'm back in middle school being wedgied.
Would it be shitty to tell him I'll only wear them if he wears thongs too? Could be funny
anemia
anyone else have this? i get it even when i'm not on my period, i cant even work some days because i'm too dizzy
i try to get enough iron but the supplements really fuck with my digestion
Labiaplasty
Is anyone else considering labiaplasty or has had it performed?
I really want it done.
My labia isn't really that big but you see porn stars who have zero labia lip and since they're featured it makes you feel like that's what is acceptable.. I also think it looks better so I have been insecure about that aspect of myself for awhile.
I want to get it done but I will be horrified if the surgeon doesn't do it probably. I saw some botched images and yikes.
weird body stuff
>what's the weirdest/grossest body thing that ever happened to you?
i might regret asking this but i just had a weird body thing happen and need to feel less alone.
i've had a bump in my armpit for YEARS. over 10 years. Last week it got inflamed and weird. i treated it with hot compresses, neosporin, and hydrocolloid bandaids to draw the gunk out. it calmed down and i thought that was that. but today i looked at it again and it looked black. i freaked out, but then realized that the black was…hair. i had like the world's longest coil of ingrown armpit hair. that must've been growing all the years?? wtf.

How do I go about securing a (medicated) diagnosis?

my ADHD keeps me from sleeping. please help
like i said in my post, my ADHD keeps me from sleeping at night, even when i'm totally exhausted. i can be in physical pain from not sleeping and still be unable to sleep. i don't take any kind of medicine because i have a terrible phobia of drug addiction because of all of the addicts in my family.

Annoying minor health problems
Figured I would start a thread to discuss problems that are annoying which don't completely warrant a trip to the doctor's, in the hopes that some fellow anons might have helpful tips/insight.
I'll start:
>been having incredibly sore knees for the past several days, usually this happens around my period but that isn't due for a t
>go into a "food coma" whenever I consume a non-tiny amount of carbs or grease (literally can't control when and where I fall asleep) and wake up with flu-like symptoms after
>have hairy arms
>someone says i have man arms
>get self conscious
>decide to shave arms
>arms now covered in ingrown hairs and blemishes
this is actually hell

Life Makeover Thread
A thread for anyone who is trying to improve some aspect of their life to discuss, give tips, post sources for improvement.
When I was around 12, I was homeschooled and really lonely. I meet this girl who was neglected and became my best friend. She peer pressured me into smoking cigarettes off the ground cause “I wouldn’t catch anything and don’t be a pussy” I was extremely naive. I was addicted for a year and now at 20 I wonder if I need to go get blood work done? I don’t think I have anything but I don’t know. I deeply embarrassed by it to the extent thinking about it makes me want to cry and get paranoid

Anyone else here who just knows they have some illness just because they want the suffering that is existence to not be as bad as it appears? I know im not supposed to feel and look as awful as i do. Its mainly just extreme fatigue and depression and looking way too old for my age. Right now im considering its pcos, which is actually probable. Im gonna go on a keto diet now but not immediately because i have bananas i must eat why the fuck have i bought bananas goddamnit. Please god someone tell me its all treatable

Argentina Shopping
Anyone from Argentina here? Where do you buy clothes online?
I can only find the following:
>Zara
>lots of overpriced poor quality things on random sites
>very limited selections of better quality things on a handful of boutique sites
>random used things brought back from abroad on MercadoLibre
I really want to buy a bunch of clothes from Reformation but that’s obviously not an option now. I’m not even in a big city where I can look for ferias or browse in person.
Guys I want you to recommend me some good sneaker.
I want like a white and a black pair.
For the black pair I'm think some black vans but the comfycush ones.
I want shoes that are kinda cute and kinda cool if you feel me. Nothing extreme.
/thyroid/
Straight from the doc, just found out I have serious hypothyroidism.
Kinda explains why losing weight was so hard for me, and not because I'm a huge slob (I've lost about 12 kg on myself this year but then I hit a plateau and gained 2 of them back). I'll have to take iodine supplements for the next 12 months and a hormonal one for the next 3 before the next hormone check.
Anyone else that had/has thyroid problems here? How did you deal with them? How did they affect your body image and weight?
shopping and fast fashion
I want clothes, but I can't spend a lot on them. Have any of y'all bought from AliExpress? I'm being careful to read reviews and pay attention to sellers' histories. Is it worth? Do you have a noteworthy (or not) experience with the site? Where else can I look (beyond goodwill)?
As a woman who has absolutely gargantuan forehead, which is less cringe: just embracing it or hiding it with bangs?
I feel like bangs look cringe on average woman, you need to look like an absolute Stacy to pull them off and even them they are a downgrade from just having normal hairstyle. But I feel like having huge ass forehead is so cringe too, even if your face is perfect otherwise.
Right now I don't have bangs because as explained, both are kinda shit choices (cutting bangs or just embracing the 6head) but at least with latter it is less maintenance as you don't need to cut your hair so often.
What do my fellow sisters think? Is having a very big forehead ugly? Or would it be better to hide it with bangs?
I'm so insecure about it. I feel like if I just had normal forehead I'd be at least 8/10 now I feel like 4/10 I just feel like it makes your face look so ridiculous and thats all others will see even if your other features are pretty. But idk I just feel like bangs are kinda cringe I can't help it? For me it just is a matter of which is less awful. I wish I just had normal forehead. :(
Face yoga etc
Don't think I see another thread for this. Has anyone tried following those face yoga videos which claim to change your appearance slightly by building muscle? Do they actually work?
They seem super fishy to me as I can't find anything on it except the yoga videos themselves but I'm so desperate and this is the only way I've found to change what I hate without Botox. I just want upturned mouth corners… :(
Easy recipes thread
Do you guys have any easy healthy recipes I can just make for food all week?
At this point I feel like I'm pretty good at cooking and general spice mixes for various cuisines, I'm trying to get more vegetables into my diet.
Today I made a ton of burritos!
Use a pot if you want to make a lot:
1. Sautée one diced onion until browned
2. Add in diced tomato, cook a lil bit
2.5 Dump in cumin, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, spicy, tiny bit of nutmeg, lots of love
3. Add julienned peppers (I usually buy a ton of these frozen)
4. Add quartered zucchini slices, cauliflower, and mushrooms cut up into VERY SMALL pieces (I hate mushrooms and this makes things taste really savory)
5. Add two cans of beans! Also tofu! (Add in meat of choice if you'd like)
6. Let it cook for a bit, ADD CILANTRO, and then add into tortillas (I use low carb ones!)
7. Freeze, microwave when ready to eat. <33
This recipe is pretty easy and feels like I'm just dumping a bunch of ingredients in a pot then wrapping it up. Anything similar? <3
Life sucks but it's getting better: the thread
how do i looksmaxx? is there any female looksmaxxing forum, like looksmaxx.me? other resources?
Has anybody had laser hair removal?
I feel like such a freak… I grow lip hair, and I know I'm in the minority here. I have it waxed when I can, but it grows back. Shave it and it grows back with a vengeance. Is laser hair removal worth it?
Is picking the skin off your lips and eating it bad for you?
I don't know why, but my bad habit of picking/biting the dead skin off my lips has come back again.
It mostly happened when I was a kid and did it as a bad habit and I had gone a good amount of years not doing it, but suddenly it's picked back up and I've started doing it again.
It's probably due to the high stress of college and worrying about finding a job, but I don't know why such an old habit has come back.
And it sucks because it stings a lot. My lips feel raw and they're bloody. I can't enjoy eating spicy food like I used to without feeling a burning sensation on my lips :/
Aside from the food, are there actual bad unhealthy side effects to doing this? And how can I be able to stop it? Any feedback would be good, thank you.

Does this bracelet match my engagement ring
I've been looking for a diamond bracelet set in gold to match my silver engagement ring/wedding band to the rest of my gold jewelry that I wear on my hands, arms, neck and ears. Everything but my wedding rings are gold and I felt like it didn't match so I bought pic related solitaire diamond bracelet in gold to try and "tie" the rings to the rest of my jewelry if that makes sense. Does it work? I feel like maybe I need to get one with bigger/more diamonds? Am I overthinking it? Diamond is reallyy small in person. Help.
Cosmetic Augmentation & Surgery General

Antipsychiatry Thread
This is a thread for all your bad experiences with therapists, psychiatrists, school counselors, etc.
My experience was being forced by my (former) psychiatrist and my parents to take Paxil for several years, which upset my school performance, my weight (I gained 30 pounds on Paxil), and my mental health.
stretch marks (pic unrelated)
I have noticed that on my inner thighs (and quite high up) I've been developing stretch marks. I already have quite a lot of stretch marks on my outer thighs but they happened a few years ago when I started gaining weight.
This time though, I haven't lost or gained any weight and my thighs are still the same size as before the stretch marks started developing.
Does this happen? I thought stretch marks are because the skin can't keep up with the expanding area so it tears. So why would stretch marks happen if the area hasn't been expanding??
I already fucking hate how my thighs are already and I just don't get why this is being added.
Any anons here are obese or considerably overweight?
Share the struggles, drama, stories, problems and the not so bad parts of being like that.
>Please don't share your weight x height. That always ends up in infighting. We will trust your word that you're big.
>Also no fat fetish bait. It will be reported and removed.
So I have been struggling with this idea for some time now, whether to do it or not do it, but I have been considering changing my hair into wearing dreadlocks/locs.
Are there any miners on here who have this hairstyle? I personally don’t care what race you are (I believe any race is allowed to wear them).
But if you do wear dreadlocks could you please explain why you choose to wear them over regular hair? What inspired you to start wearing them and what have been the pros and cons of wearing dreadlocks for you?
Also, do you have some tips that you might offer to someone who is just starting to wear dreadlocks and what they should do? It would mean a lot to me if someone could help with answering my questions, thank you!
Nail Art Thread
Anyone into nail art?
I've recently gotten into free-handing/painting on my nails. It's really hard but the results are quite pretty when they come out good.
Also if anyone is wanting to try out nail art but don't want to drop lots of money on products and kits, I really recommend the Makeup brand Essence! It's a teen girl/starting makeup company but they're very trend focused and usually have all the nail art stuff that is big right now for really affordable prices like stamping sets for $5 (last week I saw them carry that glitter dust that you can rub on your nails for half the price online)
Stretch marks
Do you have any? Do they bother you? Have you managed to fade them?
I got quite a lot from puberty that I've never really managed to fade despite treatment. Thankfully I'm pale enough that they aren't noticeable unless you're looking for them. It's still really annoying though, I think I might try dermarolling them.
furry is good
I grow a shit of facial hair, upper lip. Lower lip, chin. Neck. Long thick black hairs too, visible to the naked eye. I have to go into a threader once a week and maintain so I can pretend around boyfriend not a horrible gorilla.
But on weeks when he's gone on business trips, I love letting it grow out because it's sickened satisfying to see how gross it can get then all plucked out by the threader the day before he gets back.
Just me?
Breast Implants/General Plastic Surgery
Does anyone here have breast implants? How did they affect your life? Do they hurt? Do they even feel like your own body? Has anyone here ever considered a boobjob?
Do most men consider fake breasts normal now? More and more young girls are getting them and male oriented media is dominated by women with implants. I’m pretty sure most men can’t tell the difference.
All plastic surgery discussion is welcome. Please stay reasonable and open minded, and don’t try to talk others into stuff they don’t want.
/mhg/ - mental health general
hi anons, hope you're all doing well. i didn't see anything like this and wanted to hear from people in similar situations as i am.

Pcos
I hate having PCOS (poly cystic ovary syndrome). I hate it i hate it i hate it. It just seems to get worse and worse with the years. I can't lose weight, i'm really overweight and i've got a fuzzy face and neck. Not to mention my acne, its on my back, chest neck and face and I HATE IT. Sometimes i'll see very dark stubs of hair sticking out of my neck and everytime i just become so dreadful. some hair is even in the middle of my chest. The feeling of feeling like you look like a boy makes me so mad and sad. Is there anything a doctor could be able to do? I've considered lazer hair removal surgery but it costs a shit ton which makes me even angrier because transwomen get that shit for free. This is probably some sort of vent post but if anyone has any advice or just want to share their story they are welcome to.
soft feet
How do I get nice soft feet? I have dermatillomania (skin picking disorder) focused on my soles and toenails and the bottom of my feet are rough. I've gotten it largely under control but I'm still insecure about how they look. I've tried babyfoot but the parts with thick skin stayed the same, it only affected the already soft-ish skin around them.
Here's a babby picture bc I'm not about to go looking up womens' feet on the internet.

Help with hygiene.
I don't really know where to ask this, as I have no friends and my mom would laugh at me, so I am going to come here.
If there is a thread up for this stuff I apologize, I didn't see one.
Anyways, let's start.
I have always had like bad hygiene up until maybe two years ago, and now I really want to change.
I never had acne before but I have a shit ton of it now for some reason, even if I am the cleanest I have ever been.
So I just want to ask what are some good skincare stuff that I could get to help with acne and just in general nicer skin.
Money isn't an issue since my dad is wealthy, but nothing too expensive since I doubt he would let me get one lotion or something that's 50 dollars.
I don't really know how to do this stuff and guides online confuse me.

Are there forum/review sites like fragrantica or parfumo but for make-up? Also, are there other places where I can read about new (or /g/old) products that will make me jealous I can't afford them?

since i moved with my boyfriend and im neet i’ve been falling into bad eating habits. overall i eat pretty healthy for my meals, but i’ve been snacking out of boredom or snacking late at night (junk food) when he leaves for work. with not much activity aside from some home workouts and yoga i’m really worried. its so easy to fall into this bad habit and i want to break it before i gain any serious weight or get worse. i’ve struggled with both sides of unhealthy eating and just want to have more control. i’ve been tracking my meals and planning them out but it doesn’t do a lot for me. how do i discipline myself? im so worried anons i dont want to be fat and lazy. i clean and have light activity (the stuff i mentioned) but i dont have a fulltime job or anything right now and i figure if i limit my food back to a normal amount i can be okay regardless.

Fat distribution for women = Tallness for men
What does your fat distribution look like? Fat distribution seems to literally be more important than weight, and it sucks because it's genetic, you can't spot train, and if your hormones go a little out of wack it gets ugly fast. I went on the pill for a while and got love handles, kms. There's surgery and lipo…but that's expensive and very risky, plus flabby skin afterwards. And even if you do lose weight, some places will refuse to budge unless you devote all your free time to gym and good eating.

So I've been having really intensely bad period cramps for the last few days, and I need advice on how to lessen the symptoms. It feels like there's a dagger in my ovaries and I don't know how not to break down crying on the floor when a wave of it comes. I feel like I'm at my limit please send help.
I took a plan b on the 7th of this month. I had my period on the 1st, but yesterday I started it again? I don’t know. I don’t know if my body is reacting to the plan b or I’m having a miscarriage or WHAT is going on. I was supposed to have it in THREE weeks, yet here I am having it the week after the other one.

Makeup advice
If this thread is redundant with the other makeup thread, feel free to tell me and I'll delete this one.
Let's ask for advice and answer each others' questions about makeup, and maybe about skincare too.
I'll start. I almost never wear makeup (at most maybe some colored lip balm and mascara), and while I take care of my skin, I feel like I should start using BB cream or foundation and/or mattifying powder or primer. But I don't know where to start with this, there are so many products that I don't know which ones could be useful and which ones would be a waste of money. By the way, I don't trust beauty bloggers and youtubers because there's a good chance they're sponsored to recommend some products and brands, I want sincere advice, which is why I ask here.
If I only want to hide my large pores and acne scars (not the colorful ones, they're more like some holes in the skin), should I only focus on some mattifying powder or a primer, or should I use one of these with a foundation or a BB cream? Also, which brands would you recommend for these products? I know korean BB cream is the best but I would rather be recommended things I can buy in stores and not just online, so I can try it to see if it's the right color for my skin.

eyebrow fit
Hey there, what style of eyebrow should I head for? I have a textbook definition of a heart shape face yet I have prominent fierce eyes. My eyebrows don't help soften my look. I keep them in clean shape, just waxed out dead space hairs every 2 weeks. Does not drastically change my shape doing that.
I've had an arch thin eyebrow before and I didnt like it. I think it was too dramatic for my face. That was years ago so maybe Im open to the idea again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
How do you stay motivated for weight loss?
I find it a hard time keeping motivated for weight loss. It doesn't help that I'm a foodie and seek food out for emotional comfort. And I have no self discipline.

Any tips for exercising with painful scars? I had my appendix removed years ago and the scar has always caused pain when stretching it, even mildly. I'd say it's even gotten worse in recent months where I try to exercise. If I try to do push ups, planks, whatever, I just feel this stretching that gets unbearable after a minute, and I usually have a pretty high pain tolerance.
It's particularly annoying because I don't have the ability to do much exercising other than walk a lot (which is difficult for other reasons, but improving) and things I can do at home.

Help Finding Shoes!
TLDR; i found these super cute shoes on amazon that i wanted to order for work & casual wear. i thought they were perfect because i’m very picky and typically not attracted to clothes but these really caught my eye, however, my size wasn’t offered. i am usually a size 7.5/8 in US shoes but according to their shoe chart i’m a 9, so i messaged them and asked if a 9 was available somehow and they were just like “no” and then immediately took the shoe off of their page. that made me sort of fishy, like maybe the design was stolen? i’m not very familiar with shoes or fashion so if anyone is familiar with this sort of thing do you recognise this shoe from anywhere? it would be really awesome if i could find the original maker and buy from there. if not, does anyone know where i could find a very similar type of shoe? i tried looking at lolita shoe websites but i don’t really like any of those, most of those seem a bit “over the top” to wear in the office.
any help is appreciated <3
Cost/Benefit of Losing Weight When Not Necessary
I was underweight for my entire adolescence, got into a major ana phase as I entered my 20s, and now I'm finally at a healthy bmi (18.5-19). The problem is, at this weight, my clothes are having trouble fitting. I was a size 0 or 00, whatever the smallest size available was, and unfortunately, most of my wardrobe I've accumulated is now having trouble accommodating how I've gained weight in the bottom area of my body. Furthermore, even my size small/xs tops are also having trouble fitting because my bust increased, too. I'm very compelled to lose 10 pounds so I can utilize my full wardrobe because I don't want to spend the money on buying a whole new one; however, that would mean I'm underweight again. Wat do? Does anyone have any advice? I don't want to be ana again, I just want a fit/lean body.

Speeding up hair growth
I'm currently recovering from bleach damage, cut it all off and am at chin length now. But it looks terrible on me (tfw butterface).

Any experiences or advice?
Self esteem issues are around because of images of perfection being peddled to people
dilemma: skinny or implants
Hi, anons. I'm a not really, but at least weight-wise "recovered" anorexic. I miss how my face looked badly; I gain weight in my face so only by being in the 15s bmi-wise did the fat start to recede. So now at a bmi of 19-20, I feel hideous, but a lot of the weight is because I've worked out and that helped me gain.
The dilemma I'm faced with is that part of why I became anorexic in the first place is because I realized I would never have a "balanced" body. It'd always be fucked because I don't have large breasts to offset how huge my shoulders are. It doesn't help my butt sticks out so it makes my breasts look even tinier. I wear a 32C/32D but they look more like what most people think a B cup looks like because of their damned shape (very round and not projected). If I got implants, I think I could be persuaded not to go back to being anorexic since it'd look ridiculous with the implants. But if I didn't get the implants, it's like, yeah, my body is fucked, why not become anorexic again. Any insight? Do you all think it's better to achieve an ideal body by long-term extremely low-cal diets (and exercise), or by plastic?
pic-related is some random with a bmi of 15. I looked a little more "strained" at that bmi

how do you wash your vag?
i have literally struggled with vaginal odor for 2-3 years now. it is my biggest shame. i dont know what to do about it. i know to wipe front to back, i have been tested for infections and the results came back negative and i was even given anti biotics just in case i guess. i wash my vagina and even after i've dried it there is still a unpleasant smell. once an hour or two pass the smell is absolutely gross and noticeable. i am also someone who gets smegma. i try to wash everything but i just dont understand how i can properly clean and rinse my butthole and taint without getting bacteria in my vagina. i used to not wash very well and i think that is when my smegma problem developed. since then i started using a detachable shower head but i must be doing something wrong if i still stink after a shower. help ;_;

But I struggle with understanding what I really look like to others and how I compare with the other women around me. There are for sure plenty of bigger girls, but even looking in a mirror or at a picture, it's difficult to wrap my head around. I've gotten a lot of different feedback from different people I know irl but obviously they're biased. Does anyone have a solution/ any tips? A tip other than "lose weight" preferably

anti-depressant thread
hi, not sure if there has been a thread like this before. figured i’d start one.
are any of you guys on anti-depressants? i finally started taking cymbalta (currently 20mgs but upping to 40mg in a few days). i can’t tell if its working or not but i will say my insomnia has gotten worse and i get nauseous every night since taking it. i also feel extremely fatigued throughout the day, but i can probably attribute that to lack of sleep. it’s been about 2 weeks since i started.
what are your experiences with anti-depressants? especially curious for those who have stopped taking them or are tapering off. are they worth it in the long run or should i just focus on getting help without meds?
How do i get cuter and more friendly looking :( i look malicious and i wanna manipulate people :)
Could traveling farts cause vaginal discharge?
I almost always have this green vagoo discharge. It looks like phlegm, but doesn't smell particularly bad or itch. (I've been to the doctor but never diagnosed because it happened to not be active on those days)
I have good hygiene and wash every day. I've tried dietary changes, using different water, cleaning with wet wipes, using different soaps and intimate washes, but it never goes away for good. But I do get a lot of farts who travel and end up going through my vulva. Could that be causing infections?

Okay! So I hope this is okay with the mods but I couldn't really find a Lolita/Victorian/Cute/Old School/Street Wear/Alternative Fashion thread, and I figured I would make one, I know it may seem like some of these themes don't fit together but I think you get the general idea!

gossip sites and mental health
Does anyone else feel that the toxicity in gossip sites negatively affects their mental health? I mainly lurk but I'm currently cutting them out and it seems to be helping me, I really think that nasty words on gossip sites leak into my subconscious and contribute to low self esteem. The culture of picking people apart and waiting for them to fuck up is really exhausting.
Should I grow out my bangs?
I have had straight, blunt bangs for a while, around 6 years now. I am thinking of growing them out because they're now at the length where I have to decide whether to trim them or let them grow out. My forehead is not short, I'd say it's about average sized, but if I were to place it on a spectrum, it'd be closer to the larger end of said spectrum. I also have the reminders of some ugly self harm scars on my forehead that are horizontal. People close to me say they aren't too noticeable, but I think they make it look like I have forehead wrinkles when I don't. I know, I'm an idiot. But with makeup it is possible to cover them for the most part.
I like my bangs, but I have always loved the look of more subtle bangs other women have, as well as other women who don't have them at all. What should I expect if I grow them out in terms of how long they will take to blend in with the rest of my hair? My hair grows relatively fast. Is it better to play it safe and not grow my bangs out since I'm a little anxious my forehead might be a tad large? No one's ever taunted me for that, even when I didn't have bangs, but that was so long ago. I guess I feel indecisive because I want to have fun with my hair and grow it out, but I know bangs appear to suit me. I tried growing my bangs out before and gave up.
Pic related is the closest picture I could find to my hair currently. My hair is a lot thicker, longer, and wavier, though (I straighten my bangs all the time). It's also all blonde except for the roots.

Lower Belly Problems
Hello everyone, I am desperately in need of help for my lower belly problem. I used to be overweight (27+ BMI) but since January 2019 I made a lot of lifestyle changes (low carb diet, exercise 3 times a week and small meditation sessions). During these 12 months I made a lot of progress and I'm now at a 22.5 BMI, but despite these 12 months of mostly healthy living I still have a lot of lower belly fat (pic related, loks literally like me), so much so that i look pregnant tbh ;///////;
Lower belly fat has been a really big insecurity of mine because its so noticeable that it pains me to even look at it in the mirror. Has any other anon had this problem? If so did you solve it? how?

Getting a fringe
I’ve discussed this with my friends but I feel like they’re too nice to go against what I want, which is to get bangs! I want bangs but i don’t know if it’ll look good on me? I’m asian/Caucasian and look like Lauren Tsai (pictured) except with a bigger bumpier narrower pointier nose. Her face shape, eye area, lip shape and small forehead are very similar to me. Bangs are supposed to cover 5heads, right? But they also draw attention to ugly noses, too…
So I shouldn’t get bangs with these features, then? I really want bangs but I don’t know which style to get. I’m leaning towards Korean wispy bangs as it might soften my sharp nose.

No Makeup
Does anyone else never wear makeup? If so, why not?
I've pretty much never worn makeup my entire life (in my late 20s right now). The women in my family don't wear makeup, and growing up, my friends didn't either. I've recently noticed that the majority of women who I see walking down the street have at least a little bit of makeup on, and it's rare/almost impossible to find a woman who doesn't wear any at all (yeah, I'm not a very perceptive person, to have noticed it this late). Starting to feel like I should too. What are your thoughts on this? Anyone out there who's this way too?

The X Effect
The X Effect started on reddit as a method of forming habits and building willpower.
The idea is to track the habit you want to form for 49 days on a 7x7 grid. Each day you cross off a box if you did the thing, and you try and keep the chain of X's going for the whole 7 weeks. The theory is if you can do something every day for 7 weeks then you can keep doing it.
I've been using it to form basic morning/night routines and it's been really helpful, not only for motivation but also for accountability and tracking my progress. Have any of you tried this before?
Hair stuff
I have grown my hair for years but I don't seem to be able to do anything with it. Even a basic braid goes awry and my arms get tired holding the hair in the back of my head. I can't count how many times I enthusiastically tried to reproduce Youtube tutorials and ended up really sad, wondering why I bothered growing it if I can't even take advantage of its length and thickness.
How to not suck at doing my hair? How do you do yours? God I wish I knew how to make a French braid.

Grey Hair
For older women out there, is anyone else going grey naturally and not dyeing their hair? Especially if you have darker hair/more noticeable grey hairs in that awkward “salt and pepper” phase.
I had an aunt growing up who never dyed her grey hair and I’ve always wanted to follow her footsteps. However, people keep telling me things like how not dyeing it will hurt me career-wise due to ageism, especially as it affects women. I also don’t like how wiry grey hair tends to be in comparison to regular hair. Does anyone know of any good conditioners or hair treatments to soften out the grey hair?

Would anyone be interested in an androgynous fashion thread? Some other (fem)anons and myself tried making a general for this on /fa/ but male anons shitposted it to death before it finally fell off the catalog, and someone in the vent thread suggested I try it here.
I have a bunch of hair and wardrobe inspo to dump but need to know if other people are interested first, heh.
Why do you have an eating disorder? What is the motivation behind it? What goes through your head when the topic is food? How can you disregard hunger? What do you think of others when they eat a lot or express love for food? What do you think of fat people? What is your opinion on diets? Exercising?
And most of all,
Do you want to get better? Why does (at least with the cases i see) treatment rarely ever works?
What does /hb/ think of the 'soft-girl' aesthetic?
Was there any bleeding the first time you had sex? Have you ever used tampons/masturbated/had some form of penetration before that? Does age have to do with it (i.e. hymen wearing away over time)?
How do you carry pads/tampons to the restroom at work? I try to wear clothes with pockets (unfortunately hard to find when it comes to business casual attire) to carry them in my pockets. If not, I use a makeup bag like pic related, but I wonder if I should be more discreet about it. Because I don’t wear makeup, it gets really obvious in my small office what’s in the bag when I carry it the same time every month. What do you all do?
How can you properly use this in order to avoid infections?
Does anyone have dental fluorosis? What treatments worked to fix it? Does teeth whitening work or would that make the fluorosis stand out more?
Does any of you gulls have a girl crush or just admire a certain lolita? For me, it's skullita. She lives all the way in California and I really want to meet her one day but I also don't want to be seen as a creep ;_;
I'm on week 2 of this full-body dumbbell workout plan. It's 4 complexes of 2-5 rounds of different exercises. I raised one of the complexes to 15 lb dumbbells today and my form was awful and now my back fucking hurts. Was today a complete waste?
Why does my pussy stink
My pussy has really been smelling awful for the past few days. I've heard it might be my ph levels. Would a cleanse fix it?
What are your thoughts on short hair for women?
Endometriosis is a disorder where the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, grows where it's not supposed to - in and on the Fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Wonder what that feels like?
A study of people with endometriosis got the following descriptions:
>throbbing
>gnawing
>dragging pain to the legs
>shooting rectal pain
>sense that insides are being pulled down
permanent curls
yay or nay?
I'm thinking about doing them soon.
permanent makeup
What's your thoughts on it?
I love it. I just woke up and looked at myself and I'm so glad that I've got my lashes done, tomorrow I'm going to do my lips tattoed and I'm considering doing permanent eyeliner. Yesterday I went to work like a champ without putting any makeup on and still looked decent because of my lashes and microbladed brows.
This helps so much because I'm really awfull at makeup.
How to look cute?
My ideal appearance and style would be the one of a kpop idol or Ariana Grande - problem is, I'm very tall.
I'd love to wear cute skirts and dresses, but whenever I try on something more girly I feel like some old hag playing dress up in kids clothing. And when I wear something elegant and feminine I look even more mature. Same for makeup, everything seems to age me.
As a child I only wore secondhand trousers and pullovers, so I feel like I completely missed out on being a typical girl.
I've been basically dressing up like a business lady in long cardigans and trenchcoats since I was just a young teen (because my mom says this suits tall people) and I feel that therefore (and because of my face) many think I'm older.
Is anybody in the same boat?
I'd like your advice in basically everything: hair, makeup, clothes… are there even any cute things that somebody like me could wear without looking ridiculous? Having a bob hair cut suits me well, but it also makes me appear even larger.
I also don't know what to do with my body itself: I'm naturally athletic, so I look even manlier, stronger, matronly. If I'm at a higher weight and get a chubby face I look bloated and old - not cute like other girls. And when I'm at a lower weight I immediately look sick and haggard. I have big hands and feet, wide hips and shoulders,… it's just extremely difficult.
I'd appreciate any tips.
I always hated my tiny boobs but lately it started to bother me way too much. They are super small, when I lay on my back I'm completely flat. On top of that I'm really tall (taller than a lot of guys) and skinny and I think it makes them look even smaller
how do I deal with it? Seriously are there any tricks to make them seem at least a bit bigger? I tried gaining weight but even when I had 15kg more they didn't grow a bit
it's such a shitty reason to not like myself :|
K-pop diets
I can't help but feel jealous when I see how skinny k-pop idols are. They looks so cute in about every type of clothes.
How can they stay so slim while also maintaining youthful skin and healthy hair, and having enough energy to dance?
On top of that Koreans are the "biggest" Asians, many female idols are over 170cm with larger frames, so it's not like they're naturally petite either (e.g. see pic).
How much do you think they eat per day?
Does anybody know how they exercise to avoid getting bulky muscles?
Have any of you ever tried one of those k-pop diets?
What temperature do you shower at? I usually take scalding hot showers, but forgot to turn the heater on and took a cold shower today. Felt surprisingly good.
Nuva Ring
Anyone here use the nuva ring? What are your thoughts?
I've been using it for about four months now. Its my first time using birth control and I'm pretty content with it. I've skipped my period twice with it. The first time I had spotting and the second (now) I'm having cramps but it might be because of something else.

What do you gals think about water fasting?
Fasting is one way for our body especially the Gastrointestinal tract to heal and to “rest” from all the work. During our fasting state, our body uses glycogen—this is the storage of our reserve energy. After several hours, when all our glycogen stores are depleted, that’s when our body uses fats—hence the weightloss.
Anyone here have to deal with sciatica pains or at least some kind of lower back ache?

Cellulite
Anyone else suffer? I am not even overweight but the back of my thighs look like shit.
It was at it's worse as I lived this insane hermit hikki lifestyle which is when most of it happened. Since being more active it reduced but can never go away.
What are some advices to minimize it as much as possible. What exercises would you do for the upper back thigh? My biggest fear is that all the exercise I am doing won't fix anything.
I hate that I feel confident looking at myself front on but seeing myself from behind it all falls apart.
Fashion and style thread!
So.. How the hell do people shave their backs?
I have no idea if I have hair back there or not, but I do know the back of my neck has hair that doesn't connect to my head hair, so I can only assume my back does too.
So. How do people shave something they can't even see?

Pain during sex
I'm 20 years old and I've been dating my first boyfriend for 7 months now.
I've always been really shy and inhibited, but he's gently been easing me into sexuality by just teaching me how to kiss and do mouth and hand stuff and such.
We've tried to have sex twice now and every time it hurts when he goes too deep. It feels like he's hitting my cervix, but he says he's only halfway in. We're using plenty of lube and foreplay but I just get so tense and anxious when we have sex.
Is there something wrong with my vagina or is it just a mental thing? Why can't he enter me fully without me hurting?
Is this physique achievable naturally?
Thyroid Issues
Any girls here suffer from thyroid issues and willing to give advice?
I just realized that I have a lot of symptoms related to hyperthyroidism. I was looking at some lab results from last year and my TSH was 0.60 (norm being 0.4-5.00). Is this anything to worry about? The most troublesome is the fact that I've had a resting heart rate of >120 for at least since high school, and I did a bunch of cardiac tests and it's come out perfectly fine everytime.
Feel free to discuss all things thyroid.
Denim skirts. Yay or nay?
Broken vagina club
Anyone else have trouble with having sex? No matter how much foreplay, I feel like everything is super desensitized down there. Its impossible for me to become aroused. PIV literally feels like nothing, albeit uncomfortable from a penis entering my unaroused vagina. Oral and fingering feels like nothing.
I kinda just have sex since my bf has a high drive. I would literally prefer to do anything else, since it is a little painful but i love him so w.e. Anyone else deal w this shit? I got of an antidepressant of 1 yr, 2 months ago and just stopped my birth control last week because im sick of it and trying new shit.
Basically, send help. Would doctors even take me seriously

Meditation general
Meditation is probably the only thing between me and daily nervous breakdowns.
Miners who get their Zen on,
What time of day do you like to meditate?
Where do you like to meditate?
Do you aim to be a blank slate or do you focus on a particular thought, image, mantra, etc?
How long have you been meditating?
What benefits have you noticed in your life?
I’ll start :
I prefer daily in the early morning in my house with the sun rising in the windows but if I’m particularly stressed or anxious then whenever is convenient will do.
I try to keep my mind blank and in tune with my body. I mentally put intrusive thoughts into imaginary boxes for storage.
I have been meditating for closing to 2 years and over time I have become less stressed, more socially capable, and more focused

Hey guys. I want some fashion tips for tall women.
I'm not that mature so I'm not really into elegant clothes but more on the normie cute ones. I'm seriously insecure about my clothes so I've never been paying that much attention to what I wear. I'm not really that fat I'm 1.76 and 65 kilos. Also, I have cankles and I want to wear jeans but everything is too short so it makes them seem bad.

Coloring hair at home
Hey /hb/, does anyone here have experience dying their own hair to avoid spending insane amounts of money at the salon every few weeks?
I'm trying to get my hair this color (my natural color is currently a 2-3 shades darker). I got it done at a salon last year and they didn't use bleach, just dye. I've seen some decent tutorials on how to lighten hair without bleach but the color always seem to come out as this unnatural yellow color instead of natural dirty blonde which is obviously not what I'm looking for.
So yeah, if anyone has any expertise or questions of their own, post it here!

Gained weight in college
This is my last semester of college. And even though I told myself I would never fall trap to the "freshman 15" I've gained 50 lbs since freshman year.
I want to get a head start on losing weight before I graduate.
There is a huge rec on campus. So I can basically do anything.
What are some good exercises to lose weight? I'm thinking running, biking, or swimming? But I know weight lifting is probably important too.
I hope I'm not the only one here who got fat in college

Weight loss: things you didn't expect
Share some experiences you've had after weight loss that you didn't expect. How did you feel afterwards? Did people treat you differently? Were there changes to your body that you didn't anticipate?
I lost around 15kg / 33lbs recently and I just notice how strangers happen to be a little nicer to me than before. Females as well as males. Unfortunately i've been catcalled on the street more often. I also noticed a lot more changes in my face than anywhere else and sex has become a LOT better.
Why are there so many threads and posts about being overweight, but every post that references being skinny (aside from a few on /hb/ get deleted)? Fat girls have it easier because they can always change when you’re skinny you’re in your endgame and you know there’s no way it’s going to get better and thisis what you have to work with. Also, I’d really like to inspire and help all the fat girls here to lose weight and become the skinny queens they want to be, but it’s not allowed which is dumb: why disallow self-improvement?

Is it normal to never think about sex?
I had my first boyfriend. He was 22, I was 16, and I have had sex with him until I broke up with him when I turned 18. I'm european here so it's legal.
Since then I haven't engaged or wanted to engage in anything intimate or sexual, except making out with 1 guy at a bar last summer that led nowhere.
I've never wanted, had the desire to, or attempted to masturbate either. Sex is very nice in my opinion but only with another person.
I'm 21 now, is this normal?
Hey, /fit/.
I'm a 1.77 and 67 kilos woman. I'm interested in fasting and I would like to ask some stuff regarding it and having your opinions about it.
So I'm gonna give some exams at the end of the year for my college entrance exams so I can't really have all that brain fog and tiredness that the fasting will make me have.
Should I exercise when I fast? I'm anemic so will fasting make me collapse or something?
Also, will fasting make me lose my breasts?

long story short, I just need advice
Trying to use cardio to lose weight, a mix of trampoline jumping, hiit sprinting, roller blading, and biking as soon as I replace my rusty chain.
I'm doing intermittent fasting, I'm taking Alpha Lipoic Acid to balance out my energy levels and metabolism, and Saw Palmetto to maintain breast size as I lose weight.
I was doing really well for a good year but stopped when I realized my breasts were shrinking, so I had to gain a little bit of that weight back and plateaued after losing 40 lb.
I was a healthy 125 my whole life until an abusive relationship, fucker had me cut off my friends, family, and all outlets that kept me in good health and I feel into depression and stress ate until I started realizing the toll the relationship was taking on me and dumped the guy.
So far the Saw Palmetto is helping me maintain my boobs, but if anyone has experience/success stories with these supplements please let me know, including any potential side effects I should be aware of if I stop taking them down the road when I reach my goal weight.
I'm just trying to lose 25-30 more lbs to get back down to my OG weight, and keep myself tone in the process.
I stretch and lift too, as well as doing hand stands, and doorway yoga, but I noticed doing too many crunches was actually increasing the size of my midsection so I stopped doing those.

Am I peeing too much?
I've peed 14 times today, is that normal?
I had a couple UTIs when I was younger, but it doesn't feel like I have one now (it doesn't burn, I pee a normal amount instead of just a little bit).
I don't think I am drinking more water than usual either, and when I googled it it said up to 10 pees is still normal, but is it REALLY? Do you pee how many times a day in average?
Weird question, I know that, but I don't have other people to ask about it irl.

How to book hair appointments for newbies
What's the proper procedure in booking hair appointments that are reliant on the state of your current hair?
Such as coloring fucked up hair? I've never gone to a hair appointment before, I've always cut my hair and my mom has always dyed it, but I recently tried to dye it on my own because I wanted to learn how, and I fucked up my hair. Well, the color has washed out almost completely (it was semi-permanent), but the really shit part of the job was that it was bleached unevenly. I basically just want my hair bleached evenly taking into account the extra two-three inches of virgin roots that have grown in.
I want pricing to be upfront. I know that even just coloring my hair might be $200-$300 because of the length and thickness, so how do I go about this in a polite way? I don't want to lead them on and then just leave. Is walking in and asking the best option in this case? Or is booking an appointment online and hoping for the best my best shot? I'm so nervous and scared.
How to make self always incorporate lipstick into makeup routine
How the fuck do you get yourself to wear lipstick? I'm super pale so everything looks so damn dark or super nude. My natural lip color is a medium pink. I guess it's kinda pigmented because strangers have complimented their color before, but I always wish I could wear lipstick on the daily since I own some colors, but nope, looks like it's not going to happen.
I always wear eyeshadow, mascara and foundation (and eyeshadow primer, sometimes face primer and concealer, sunscreen always, yada yada)
Do you shower more than once a day?
Oral sex - female
I get really shy when my bf tries to get down on me. How can I relax and let him do it? I keep thinking he won't like doing it (he's never complained) or that doing that is embarassing. I'm not ashamed of my vagina, I don't know why I get so self conscious.
Help!
i've been using vibrators for the past 4 years or so, and i've noticed i've become desensitized.
i slowly worked my way up to a hitachi, but even now it takes a lot of ~finesse~ to cum with it.
additionally, i lost my virginity after using a vibrator. oral has never really felt like much, and rubbing my clit during sex doesn't do much either.
has anyone else had this problem? and do you have any advice on how to regain sensitivity?
the only thing i can think of is just laying off the vibrator/masturbating for a few months.

Skipping periods with Birth Control
Why don't all girls skip their periods??? I've been doing it for 2 months and I've never felt so free in my life. For those who skip, how has your experience been? What brand are you using? Any downsides?
I've also gained 10lbs in the time that I've been taking BC, but that's probably my fault.
Does anyone here has (chronic) constipation? if so, how do you deal with it? tips?
In my case, I've had it for years. It's weird tho, in that if I don't go number 2 for days, my belly doesn't ache at all, and when I finally go it's just a small amount (and it doesn't hurt when it comes out). Have my body reached the next step in evolution? Is it absorbing most of the food I eat?
Nowadays I don't even wait for days for poop to come out "naturally" anymore, I just take some lactulose or some kind of japanese herbal medicine. Sometimes I drink alcohol and that seems to help next day too but I don't want to drink alcohol all the time to get the laxative effects.
Ah, fiber doesn't help me, neither do vegetables. I do have a suspicion that stress has a lot to do with it but there's no way for me to reduce my stress levels.
It sucks, people. I wish I could just go naturally like everybody else.

So nothing too heavy to completely alter my face, but good enough to help me disguise my face while also looking prettier. I rarely use makeup daily, and I've seen some women who use heavy stuff daily, and when I saw them without it for the first time it was kinda hard to recognize.
Not sure if it's better to make this thread here or on nsfw. I'm caucasoid btw, but if you want to post pic examples for other races I think it's fine too, there are probably more women who could make use of this.
Eating once a day / Interminent Fasting
I know they're not the same thing, but I decided to make a thread to discuss them (couldn't find any, sorry if I missed one!).
Have you ever tried IF? If yes, what results have you achieved, if any?
And eating once a day, what do you think about it?
I've been thinking about giving one them a try because I binge eat fairly regularly, and idk what to do anymore.
Video related is quite interesting.
Low quality orgasms
I feel that my orgasms have become weaker over the past years, wether alone or with my partner. Sometimes I even acknowledge that the climax happens without even feeling it, as if there was no connection at all between my brain and my genitals, I mean no physical pleasure at all. But the rest of the act is perfectly normal, I feel it coming and then it flops. I still enjoy making love but this is really frustrating; fortunately it doesn't happen every time.
Can it be that I don't have enough happy little molecules te release?
Here is a snailcat for you anons. Or is it a catsnail?
Seizures
I had a definite seizure today and I'm freaking out. My muscles were all involuntarily jerky and I lost consciousness, but the weirdest part was that I had visual and auditory hallucinations even after the jerking stopped. I'm so lucky my friend was there to help me…. I'm so, so scared, I've had the jerkiness and inability to control my muscles before, but usually I would be near a counter and I told people about those incidents, but they thought I was just describing a headrush (even though I tried to convince them it isn't normally for me to have my muscles jerking around while I have no control). I don't know what to do. All these seizures occurred right after I woke up and walked somewhere. I've been looking up what kind of seizures I've been having, but like, all the seizures I look up for adults revolve around muscle stillness or relaxation when mine are jerky and violent. My friend said I was talking and then suddenly my words didn't make sense and I was jerking on the ground after I fell. They grabbed me and put me onto a toilet afterwards while holding my steady, so I don't know if I had incontinence or not. All I know is I don't remember a lot and that for minutes, it was like I was on a bad Dxm trip.
Fatigue
I'm fucking tired of feeling exhausted all the time. Even when I get a lot of sleep for a while vs a little amount of sleep, I still feel fucked. Exercising makes me more exhausted instead of giving me energy. It doesn't matter if I have caffeine or not. Any help would be appreciated, I just want energy to be able to do homework and overall be more successful.
Lime Crime Angels Collection / Should I Buy
Hi gals, I'm debating as to whether I should buy the Lime Crime angels collection while they have this 15% off sale on $75 or more. I don't own a lot of lime crime and I'm aware of their past, but fuck, I really, really want this collection because I know I'd get good use out of it. I've always wanted their Diamond Crusher glitter lip toppers, but I've never caved in because they are so freaking expensive.
Also, I did look for dupes for their diamond crushers, but i've only been able to find one current company that sells a comparable product (a glittery lip gloss/topper that dries down and won't budge). I'm considering maybe only buying the angels lip collection? But idk, the highlight palette seems like I'd get multiple use out of it since I think those colors would look awesome as eyeshadows.
What do you all think? Should I go for it? Also, I am by no means a makeup hoarder. The only own two palettes (one that I purchased with my own money at a drugstore, the other was a high end palette that was gifted to me) and I recently threw away one I've owned for 6 years. I wear makeup a lot, though. I just try to be economical about it.
Winter caps in summer
Why would anyone wear a winter cap in the middle of summer? What sense does it make?
I just don't get it. Makes me mildly angry.
Utility Fashion
Is anyone else interested in this style? It obviously looks good on models, but does it work for the average woman, or does it just look too dumpy? 1/2
Closet setup thread
What is your method for building the perfect closet?
Here's what has worked best for me:
>Sort clothes in groups by activities (work, daily life, evenings…)
>Pick 3 main tones or colors that match together and 3 secondary colors for each group
>Pick 2 base bottom items for each group, 1 base pair of shoes, and 3 base tops for each group (you can have as much as you want in the same group)

Strapless Bras
Anyone have experience with strapless bras? I need to get one as I want to wear strappy dresses this summer and my nude bra strap is not that subtle. I'm a 34B and I don't want a push-up, just something that keeps my boobs in place. Any suggestions?
Aaaaah help /cgl/, I want to be cute and fashionable but I feel like my height makes everything look bad on me (5'10) any tips on how to be cute and tall?

Piercings and other body modifactions thread
Do you have any piercings/body mods? Are you happy with them?Planning to have more in the future?
What are your thoughts about them?Let's discuss.
I have 7 holes in my ears so far (two for industrial piercing,one for tragus,two for earlobe and two for cartilage)I plan a smiley piercing and one daith,nothing more.I always wanted piercings around my mouth (snake bites etc.) but i fear that it'll affect my career in a bad way so i mostly avoid my face.
"second puberty"
Does anyone else notice significant changes in their body since entering their 20's? I've had a pretty brutal experience so far and these things never really affected me as a teenager. I get acne, raging pms hormones, super sore breasts, cramps, and disgusting cravings, I'm really sick of it.
Alternative Sports
Who here does alternative sports?
I hate going to the gym/doing regular fitness classes so I usually try to find something a bit different to get my exercise!
Horseback riding, rock climbing, dance, and whatever else can be categorized as alternative sports are super fun and usually provide a different type of exhaustion in my opinion, I love doing them!
Wardrobes~
I think it would be fun for miners to post their closets or clothing collections! Any style, any item, any way!As in, you dont have to post pictures of your actual closets, or even of your own clothes! You can make a collage of some "special" items you own if you are very lazy/shy (like me). If you can't find the exact item, I suppose you can put down stuff very similar to it! I think it would be nice to see exactly what different kinds of styles us miners have! I'll start it off~ sorry for it being so low qual I just used ms paint kek
Current Harajuku fashion
What's your thoughts on the fashion shown in this video?

Review and beauty blogs
A lot of it seems to be video nowadays, which I really dislike. What are your favourite blogs that still post pictures and written content instead of filming a vlog? I'm particularly interested in nail art and reviews of makeup and hair products. But anything goes!
Do you know anyone who has had a tumor or cancer?
Thoughts on the nopoo meme?
CBD Oil
I think this belongs under health – what are people's experiences with CBD oil? What are you taking it for? What have your results been, if any?
I just started a few weeks ago taking 4 drops under my tongue each night. The store owner really emphasized starting low and slowly increasing if needed. I have not really taken for the past week but want to start it up again. I'm mostly taking it for anxiety? Just to see if it helps at all? I'm also in therapy right now, but figured why not??

Hype makeup
Has anyone tried anything from Milk cosmetics? One of their products made them blow up and now Milk is being sold at Sephora. What is so good about them? Their stuff looks kinda cheap, I rather get Colourpop. I'm pretty skeptical about hype trains, ten years ago I bought something from Limecrime cuz everyone love them and the eyeliner I got was straight up terrible.
Sleeping too much/too little
>do you sleep abnormally? Do you know why?
>do you have advice for miners who sleep abnormally?
I'm trying to get into a normal sleep routine but it's summer break and I'm sleeping more than 12 hours a day; up to 16 TBH. My friends always make jokes about how much I sleep but I feel super unproductive and would like to be awake to do personal dev 9-5 whilst I'm not doing anything else
Tea
Who likes tea? I'm addicted to unsweetened green tea.
I really don't understand high fashion.For example why buy a D&C shirt for $1000 when I can buy a Hawaiian shirt similar for $50
Cheat Days
I've heard from various sources that a cheat day/meal once a week or so is needed in order to keep your metabolism high. Is this true? And, if so, which is better: a day or a meal? Also, how much should you eat during this to not undo the progress you've made?
Asking because I've been having a cheat day once a week for a while now. I've realized recently that on these days, I've been eating well over 2,000 calories when I eat less than 2,000 calories on other days. I don't exercise much on these days either. I feel like I've been losing a considerable amount of progress when I eat this much more.
Also, I've been using MyFitnessPal to calculate the net calorie count for each day. For example, let's say I eat 2,000 calories one day and exercise until I've burned 700 calories to reach my daily goal of 1,300 calories. Will I lose weight more consistently if I just eat 1,300 calories without putting the exercise I do into account, or is what I'm doing fine? And if this is okay, would it be better to not have a cheat day at all?

Strabismus
I was wondering if any other miners struggle with this issue. My right eye points a little outwards (exotropia) and although it's not that terrible it bugs the hell out of me still. Currently thinking about eye-patching my good eye so I can strengthen the muscles on my other one. No idea how effective that'll be though. Does anyone know any other fixes?
Medical Help Thread
Here's how it works:
Post a description of your symptons and/or a picture of the thing you are worried about, and wait for other anon's replies of what is that that you're possibly experiencing.
Of course, no anon's answer is a substitute for an actual professional seeing you IRL, but they can tell you if you should go to the doctor immidiately or else you'll die or if you can wait a couple of weeks in case you need it.
I bet there are some anons here that work on the medical field, so that would be even better!

Is being thin important to you ?
I don't think I'm the only one to have this day to day pressure to think about my body, and I wonder what other people really think about it.
>Does this affect you at all ?
>If so, how ?
>How do you justify it ?
>When has it become a recurring thought ? (the pressure to stay thin, not exclusively leading to eating disorders in some cases)
>How do you cope with it ?
Keeping feet soft
Anyone keep up on their foot care?
When I was a child my mother used all different kinds of devices for keeping her feet soft. Now that I'm getting older my feet are starting to get raw and it's upsetting to me!
I have tried to use a pumice stone in the shwoer followed by slathering them with unrefined shea butter + putting socks on after to trap the moisture, but it doesn't make much difference!

>TIGI Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo
>TIGI Bed Head Dumb Blonde Conditioner, leave it on for a few minutes

Types of clothes that you hoard
Do any of you semi-hoard clothing items that you don't use enough to justify buying them? Or do you hoard clothing items you do use all the time anyway because you don't like washing your clothes?
Stuff I'm guilty of:
Bralettes
Undies
Lingerie (particularly those bustier tanks that I always say I'm going to wear outside the house but rarely ending up doing so)
Hoodies (I do wear these a lot, but I own far more of these than I need to)
Outerwear in general (I love how they can spice up a boring outfit)
Bikinis (I live near a beach but I don't go enough to justify the amount I own)
Joggers/Sweatpants, especially the ones with words on the butt (they are so comfy, but I really don't need the amount I own)
I still don't own a lot of clothing compared to other girls I know, but I still feel like I own a lot of types of clothing that I don't need.

Korean/K-pop Fashion
To all sides of K-fashion!
I guess it's kinda similar to a lot of J-fashion, but at least in my experience, it's sometimes a bit edgier and more risqué. It can also be pretty feminine and cute and as well, but I like that even so, it usually has a sexier side to it.
I guess this can be a discussion thread, also for recomendations, OOTD, and inspo pic dump.
Eyebrows
Which eyebrow technique is best for completely changing the shape? I have thick bushy straight eyebrows that have no arch like at all.
When I get them threaded they just get thinned out as opposed to completely changing the shape as I'd like. How does one go from shitty eyebrows to something like "Seductive Natural" or "Mysterious Natural" eyebrows?

Hime cuts: cute haircut or stupid idea?
The “short hairstyles” and “haircare routines” threads didn’t really seem like the right place and I didn’t want to hijack.
Hime cuts. Yea or nay? Bonus: What about on white people?
For me, I already have the bangs, so it’s just a question of whether to cut the middle layer in. I wear predominantly fashions that go well with it, and I’d probably keep them long like pic related in order to be able to pull them back as needed. But it seems as though everyone I know is getting this done right now, so I’m conflicted.

/cgl/ secrets and general community ideas
Since Admin wants to bring back some of the nostalgia of the EGL LiveJournal days, I was thinking that a thread on helping this board gain traction might be good.(Bless you Admin)
crystal.cafe is still small so getting traffic would be small and with many communities moving to Facebook, getting traffic here is going to be tough. I'm sure Admin has some ideas for it but maybe input from other Lolitas lurking here might help.

Coffee Dilemma
Is it worth it to quit coffee?
I love the taste of black coffee and have had periods where I'll avidly drink it, but then I'll stop because I can get panicky and over-emotional because of the caffeine. I have a week where I have jam packed days of school plus work plus an hour's commute at least twice a day, and I decided to quit coffee when school started up again. It's been a few weeks and I still feel constantly exhausted and go to bed at around 9pm and wake up early, still exhausted. I've had mild withdrawals before when I've quit coffee, but nothing this serious. Would drinking coffee be worth it because it'd make me feel better because it would energize me, or am I drained because I quit coffee?
Office Outfits
Let's share some wardrobe inspo for office jobs!
How to be more physically attractive?
What things have you done to yourself that made you feel like you're more beautiful now?
I remember that years ago I completely changed my hair and got rid of my braces and thick glasses, and that completely changed the way I saw myself and how guys looked at me.
Any suggestions and ideas?
Do you know anyone who was an ugly duckling before? What did they change?
What's your story? What things would you change if you could?
Hitting the gym and going on a diet (if necessary) are obvious things, but you can mention them too.

Am I the only one who loves NORMIE J-fashion?
>>Even though it was a few years ago, I was one of the many anons who studied abroad in Japan for 1 year.
My boyfriend had a car and worked between two top universities, so I had the advantage of traveling throughout Japan and seeing tons of different cities/towns. One thing I noticed was a similar style among my friends, classmates, and strangers all throughout the country.
Alt-fashion stood out just as much as it would outside Japan ime, but normie J-fashion is also really cute. I really enjoy it.

Thin/Fine Hair
I have super thin/fine hair. It's not sparse or falling out, it's just that the individual hairs are very thin.
I used to bleach it and heat style it every day, and that destoyed it. After a pixie cut I'm growing it out.
It's length currently is between my shoulders and bra strap, and I also have short bangs (that I also plan to grow out). I've had layers cut in, but the way the hairdresser cut it is waaaay too harsh and kinda… dated looking?
I am thinking about getting the long bob basic bitch special (pic related) , but I really want long hair…
How can I cut it as it grows out in order for it to look thicker?

What's a better metric than bmi?
AFAIK it excludes some factors like body fat % and doesn't work well for others like height if you're rather short or tall, and the constant used in the formula is petty arbitrary. It doesn't really matter if your bmi is just slightly under 18.5, as long as your body is getting all the macro and micronutrients you need in more than sufficient amounts, right? According to a number of sources the ideal bmi is between 20 and 21 for caucasians but most people look a little flabby sans clothes at that number, and that most underwear models who look perfectly healthy otherwise would be classified as underweight.
