I like musicals and nerdy things.

par exemple: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, books in general, Merlin, Sherlock, Doctor Who, bound to get hooked on some more before long, Matilda the Musical, Into the Woods, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Godspell, Les Misérables, Oliver!, Newsies, West Side Story, dancing, singing, acting, and other things generally made of awesomeness

its “thighs rubbing together under ya sundress” season

[cephalopodvictorious]

Buy cute, cheap lace leggings. Cut them a little above your knee. Hem them or don’t, but then you can wear them under your sundresses and not worry about how you sit or if your thighs chafe, and if anyone sees them they look cute af so hell yes

[gutsygumshoe-blog1]

Or a little deodorant between the thighs is magical

[bastillearda2018]

Also, LUSH sells this dust called Silky Underwear that makes your skin smooth so they don’t stick together or chafe.

[erdsthenerds]

I love that we’re all here for each other in this season of need

Monistat has an anti-chafing gel that works wonders and I live by. You can usually find it in the feminine care aisle of any drugstore. 

[sweeeettay-deactivated20210523]

There’s this stuff called Glide…pretty cheap & works hella miracles

me when anything even remotely inconvenient happens

[dreamlogic]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT HUMANS is how we pick up lil quirks from people we’re around often!! i love how u can tell people are close by the way their body language is complementary. i love seeing people start using expressions and words their loved ones use often. i love when you complement someone on something and they say something like “so-and-so got it for me” or “so-and-so introduced me to it.” we’re so deeply entangled with each other, constantly building each other up in subtle ways without even realizing it. how neat is that!! how freakin’ cool are we!!!
