Masterpost of Physical Self Care Routines Not Everyone is Taught

A lot of people aren’t taught simple things that are basic routines for other people. Many of these I didn’t learn until I was older because I had no one to really teach me, so hopefully this helps someone!

Don’t exfoliate every day! It’s hard on your skin and will make you wrinkle faster; every few days is fine, depending on your skin type.

Remove your makeup with an oil (coconut oil is great and moisturizing!) instead of soap and water. Scrubbing is hard on your skin.

Invest in good makeup. It makes all the difference. Seriously.

Get a good face moisturizer! You need to start age prevention as early as possible, and the easiest way is hydrating your skin every night. (Under your eyes, by your mouth, and on your neck are areas to focus on.)

You only need to get your hair wet every 3 (oily) to 6 (dry) days. That means no washing OR conditioning! It will actually dry your hair out more. Get a shower cap or just tie your hair up when you bathe between those days.

Only use shampoo once a week if you’re able. You need to AT LEAST that often though so that your pores don’t block up and prevent hair growth.

Use a good oil or cream once or as needed between those days. If your hair is oily, dry shampoo is your friend.

Spraying a bit of apple cider vinegar and water into your hair every couple weeks when you shower will really cleanse your scalp and add shine to your hair! It also works to seal in color.

Exfoliate your skin before shaving (a lot of people swear by sugar scrubs!).

Lotions that contain alpha hydroxy acid or salicylic acid help prevent razor burn. Lotion up after shaving!

Baby powder helps with razor burn a LOT too because it prevents irritation caused by friction. This apparently works with unscented deodorant too, although I haven’t tried it personally.

Take care of your teeth. I know that sounds obvious, but we all slack on it sometimes. Brush daily, preferably twice daily. Floss every couple days. And get a teeth whitening gel, especially if you smoke or drink coffee! It’s never too early to prevent yellowing.

If you’re able bodied, a gym membership for Planet Fitness is only like $10 a month. Take advantage of it. You’ll feel great.

Feel free to reblog and add to this list if you like!

Please make this go viral. This is what’s happening in my state right now. The bill was passed almost unanimously. You may view it here : http://www.ncleg.net/gascripts/BillLookUp/BillLookUp.pl?Session=2015&BillID=h972

NEW LAW MAKES POLICE CAM FOOTAGE OFF LIMITS TO PUBLIC

Motivated by the controversial police officer-involved shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota, and the terror in Texas that unfolded after a Black Lives Matter march, Gov. Pat McCrory signed the Body Cam bill into law.

McCrory signed House Bill 972 on Monday afternoon.

The new law details who can view and obtain footage from body and dashboard camera. The footage is no longer public record.

If you are in the video, either your image or your audio, you can request the file. The request could be denied, however, and then you’ll have to take the fight to Superior Court.

McCrory says technology can mislead and misinform.

“My goal is to protect those who protect us,” he said.

The Governor believes the legislation is fair for everyone.

“It’s better to have rules and guidelines with all this technology than no rules and guidelines whatsoever,” said McCrory.

The ACLU of North Carolina calls the legislation “shameful.”

“Body cameras should be a tool to make law enforcement more transparent and accountable to the communities they serve, but this shameful law will make it nearly impossible to achieve those goals,” said Susanna Birdsong, Policy Counsel for the ACLU of North Carolina. “People who are filmed by police body cameras should not have to spend time and money to go to court in order to see that footage. These barriers are significant and we expect them to drastically reduce any potential this technology had to make law enforcement more accountable to community members.”

The Governor’s Office would not comment on the criticism.

The law goes into effect Oct. 1.

Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison is backing McCrory’s move. He says what law enforcement encounters in the field is not for everyone’s eyes.

“A lot of groups think we should show everything from start to finish and we just can’t do it,” said Harrison. “They think we’re trying to hide something and that’s not what it is. But if we go into a house for a domestic (assault) and if the wife has been assaulted has been unclothed, we don’t want that on YouTube. We don’t want that out there.”

McCrory took another step Monday to protect officers. He established the Blue Alert System, which is to help catch anyone who intends on attacking or harming a public safety officials.

[wildhaunt]

5) They aren’t actually that rare and the price is artificially inflated. 

[ariaste]

Pro tip from a former Jared’s salesperson: You want a sparkly white rock that will look like a diamond to the untrained eye and will literally cost the price of a nice dinner for two? Created white sapphire. They’re lab grown and cost *pennies* to make, so you can get a 1 or 2 carat white sapphire for like… $30-80 probably. You can get one as huge as you like, perfectly clear, perfectly flawless. And no one will ever be able to tell the difference except a professional appraiser. Also, sapphires are the second-hardest gemstone (right after diamonds) so they are very durable! Very unlikely that they’ll chip or crack. Get that bitch set in sterling silver and you are GOOD TO GO. Whole thing should cost you less than $200 unless you get a fancy band with a lot of extra stones. Of course, created sapphires come in every color of the rainbow, so if you want something more exciting than plain white, you TOTALLY CAN.

Tiny Intricate Treehouses for Houseplants

Los Angeles–based artist Jedediah Corwyn Voltz is a prop-maker for TV and film by day who has a charming side business making tiny treehouses for potted bonsai trees, cacti, and succulents.

“Building miniatures for stop motion always leaves me with a huge bin of scrap balsa, basswood, various fabrics, etc. and I found myself making little fantasy constructions out of that stuff during my downtime,” Voltz told The Slate in an email. “Those little scrap forts led to me building some more serious ones in little diorama settings, and last year I built my first living treehouse.”

The tiny treehouses will be on display (and for sale) at L.A.’s Virgil Normal starting April 23. Voltz is available for commissions in L.A. and is developing DIY miniature treehouse-making kits that he hopes to make available next year. Check out more of his work here.
