In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

Addition: the natural acidity of a vagina can bleach the gusset on darker underwear. It’s perfectly normal.

i did not know some of this stuff, so useful!

The best thing you can do to keep your skin clear (aside from washing) is to frequently change your pillowcase. Throw on a fresh one every day if you want. Get nice cotton pillowcases at Ross.

This is probably my favorite hex because it’s just so darn easy, and usually pretty effective.

The last time I used it was on a woman who was being baligerant to a cashier at the grocery, (the cashier was from India and this woman was telling her very loudly that she should go back to Iraq and stop taking a job from her poor Canadian granddaughter… I guess the granddaughter had applied there and not got the job? I don’t know the deets). I turned to her, clutched my necklace (it’s just an antique looking locket watch, nothing special), pointed to her and said the words just loud enough that she could tell it wasn’t English.

I guess it didn’t hurt that I was also dressed pretty witchy.

She was like, “Did you just curse me?!?” and I just smiled, winked at the cashier and walked out. I waited just outside the Second Cup that was next to the grocery to watch this lady come out… And didn’t she just trip over her own two feet in grand fashion on her way to her car! I laughed and I laughed and I laughed.

What? I’m not… No, who am I kidding… Yes I am a bitch.

How to use a sigil wheel.

A tutorial. 

I rarely use this method myself, but I know people are always looking for tutorials on different methods of sigil making and not finding any. I’ve had a few different people asking for more graph based sigil making techniques, and this is a fairly well known one that fits that category. I hope this tutorial is coherent and answers questions instead of making things more confusing. If you have any questions, however, never be afraid to ask.

Energy work candle technique:

This is a basic energy work practice technique i developed to help familiarize yourself with the way certain emotions and feelings look when doing energy work/out of body work. -J

Start by getting in a comfortable position to meditate in. Relax and do what ever you do to reach a meditative/trance state so you can go out of body and/or visualize a white candle burning in front of you. There should be nothing else around you almost like you’re in a void. I call this place my astral void space.

Really “see” and feel every part of this candle from the warmth it’s giving off to the way the wax feels. Hold it in your hands, or watch it in front of you. Do anything with the candle that will give you a good feel for its resting energy/base energy.

Then inside yourself bring up a strong emotion you can easily conjure up. feel it rise inside you and let the emotion and all the feelings it brings wash over you. Then project the energy/feeling from the emotion onto the candle to notice how it changes. Feel the way the warmth from the flame, the color of the light, the color of the wax change in front of your from your emotions.

Repeat step 3 with different emotions and sensations to see the way it changes the candle in your mind’s eye. Go back and forth between emotions and feelings to see if there is consistency in the way you see/perceive different energies.

For example:

The way my candle changes for feelings of being sad is the candle turns to a navy blue in color and the energy it gives off looks like a thin web of color. the candle light gives off a light blue glow and is very dim.

A happy excited energy is a mellow yellow color with a large flickering flame. The candle wax looks translucent letting the light from the flame pass through it.

This is a cool technique Ive learned to help me “see” energies better. especially when comes to seeing auras.

Okay so I really want an episode of Bob’s Burgers where Tina is actually diagnosed with autism.

Because let’s face it, she’s probably on the spectrum.

Like, let’s assume that maybe one day a doctor of some sort (pediatrics?) comes to the restaurant and after some time there observing the weird family dynamics, casually makes a comment about Bob’s autistic daughter. Bob, of course, is confused at first, then realizing that Doctor is talking about Tina, of course denies it. Because naturally he would, since he believes she isn’t.

Doc: Well, but she’s doing that thing-

Bob: What? Oh, you mean that? That’s just a Tina thing. She does that. Like, yeah, she’s kind of weird, but that’s just what she does.

Doc: Normal kids don’t do that, Bob.

Bob: They don’t?

Doc: No. Of course they don’t. That’s pretty typical behavior for a child with autism. I would know. I’m a doctor. It’s my job to know. I have several autistic patients. I know these things.

So suddenly the family acknowledges, with a measure of shock, that Tina is on the autism spectrum. Bob’s reaction is something like this:

Bob: Oh…my god. Tina, you’re autistic! I can’t believe I never realized that before. Like, of course you are. How did I not see it before this moment right now?

Linda naturally gets upset and becomes worried about her “little baby!”

Louise, of course, knew the whole time and is far from surprised at the diagnosis. Actually, she’s more surprised that no one else figured it out.

Louise: Of COURSE Tina’s autistic! I told you guys, like, forever ago! But no one listens to me apparently, even though I have SOOO much knowledge. I’m just this …OCEAN of knowledge over here! But no one listens to me, noooooo! I know so many things! Especially about Tina.

Gene probably has no idea what autism even is, and probably thinks it’s contagious and starts to freak out. Louise of course plays off his fears.

Gene: Tina, do we need to take you to a hospital? Are you going to DIE??

Louise: What? No, Gene, Tina’s not going to die…although…YOU could. Watch out, Gene, do you realize how contagious autism is? Why are you that close to her, for god’s sake, get away from her! You were so worried about HER dying now YOU might die, Gene! In fact, it’s not even a question in my mind anymore, Gene! You are DEFINITELY going to die. Might as well get your affairs in order.

Gene: *screaming in fear of death by autism*

Tina, poor thing, feeds off the shock and fear of her family and feels all those things but worse.

And of course she’s probably afraid of what the kids at school will say when they find out she’s autistic, especially Jimmy Jr. Turns out, though, that Jimmy Jr. is totally not fazed by it at all.

Jimmy Jr.: I’ve…never had an autishtic friend before. That’sh pretty cool ackshually.

His reaction is a total relief for Tina, who at this point begins to accept her diagnosis and move on.

Meanwhile, Gene is busy at Mort’s picking out the most comfortable coffin for himself, with Louise’s help. Mort thinks it’s a little weird, but decides not to argue. Louise is a little intimidating, after all.

Somewhere towards the end of the episode, though, Teddy makes some offhand comment that goes something like this:

Ted: Wow, you know, Tina’s just not the same since she got autism. Like, she’s suddenly so…AUTISTIC, you know? Like, she keeps doing those…autistic…things…

Bob: What? No. Teddy, what are you talking about? Tina’s exactly the same as she’s always been. She does the same things, and likes the same things, and makes the same weird noises and ohmYGOD. TINA!

Tina: What?

Bob: You’re TINA!

Tina: Yeeeeahhhh……??

Bob: No, I mean, you’re you! You’re the same Tina you’ve always been. Just because we know you’re autistic now, doesn’t make you any different. You’re still the same person you always were before, we just…have a word for it now. No, that’s not true either. We’ve always had a word for it. And that word is TINA!

And basically everyone ends up happy and accepting of Tina’s new status on the autism spectrum, and realizes that she’s exactly the same person she always was.

Also, Gene charges the cost of a coffin to the restaurant.
