The danger is over and everyone is safe, you're allowed to grieve the part of your life you lost. They're just "things" but they're things you had because you loved them, made with your own hands because you felt it was worth it to create and bring you joy in its existence. Every piece you lost is a part of a life you put together for yourself. It's a testament to your existence as the unique individual you are. You don't have to apologize for mourning them

Thank you.

I just. I can begin again, and I will. I'm even a relatively quick seamstress, when properly motivated. It feels like such a herculean task, though, especially for things that can't be gotten easily or cheaply again- colorful silks the discount fabric store no longer carries, my stash of antique and specialty reproduction trims, certain buttons or accessories...

I feel like I'm staring up a mountain I have to somehow climb all over again, after reaching a peak and then falling back to the bottom

#ask #anon #just remembered my stash of garment-weight black wool #haven't seen that at the fabric store in ages #and the blood-red silk I'd just made a ball gown out of for my birthday in April #after socking it away for 6 years in expectation of the Perfect Project #I was going to make a day bodice to go with the skirt #the antique black lace motherlode I'd just hit at a flea market the week before the fire #I was planning to put sheer sleeves on my summer tops for better sun protection without sunscreen. fill in some too-low necklines #round and elliptical hoop skirts.wired bustle petticoat. bustle pad. corsets like I mentioned- two different Victorian + Regency stays #it's just. it's all so much. and it's either destroyed or rendered unsalvageable. or lost in the detritus under my old bed #or in a collapsed closet that can't be shifted to free the garments underneath

bought like actual skincare products for the first time in years and have some notes.

the whole anti-aging cosmetic industry is really hard to avoid. i was getting stuff at a marshall’s (discount store, carries a lot of overstock from brands) to save money and it took me almost an hour to find a handful of products that weren’t advertising “anti-aging” and “youthfulness” when i just wanted a cleanser, toner, and sunscreen to help with both peeling skin and greasiness

no seriously. i found ONE facial sunscreen that didn’t have retinol or hyaluronic acid or collagen or any of that stuff in it. it was tucked away in the men’s section with beard oil and cologne because apparently facial sunscreen with no added bullshit is only for men, and women (this is borderline a fast fashion store it’s highly gendered) can only protect themselves from skin cancer if it also makes sure they never develop a smile line

so many of those serums and creams and shit are bullshit anyway. hell a lot of people can just do a wash and sunscreen and be all set. at most a basic cleanser, basic moisturizer, and sunscreen are the absolute most you need. i threw in an exfoliating toner to help even out a couple gnarly acne scars and help with how flaky my skin gets sometimes. if your skin needs more than that, you really should probably just go to a dermatologist or look for actual dermatologist’s advice instead of dumping a bunch of random oils and serums and creams n shit you saw on tiktok or instagram on your skin and hoping the benefits listed on the box will be true for you

IN MOST CASES no amount of skincare products can make up for lifestyle change. i decided to put a little more work in because the lifestyle changes i need to make to help be less oily (i literally get so greasy it makes my eyes burn) and flaky aren’t currently feasible, so i’m trying to give my skin a bit of a boost, but literally the best my skin has ever felt was when i was just drinking a shit ton of water and eating super well

other people’s skincare will rarely work the same on anyone else. everyone’s skin needs are different. when i was in high school i had a gnarly abrasion/chemical burn under my eye because i had tried a routine i saw online that was way too rough and overbearing for me. again, you 100% don’t need a 30 step routine

that being said, i used a $4 korean cleanser, a $6 glycolic acid toner (exfoliant), 100% pure african shea butter, and some sunscreen formulated for use on the face. my skin feels great. my acne doesn’t itch as much. the toner was the most expensive part. the beauty industry is a scam

#mothman speaks #and again #i think a majority of people don’t need much more than cleanser and sunscreen #obviously some folks have other issues they need more help with #but i think a lot of them know a random serum being pushed by an influencer isn’t going to cure their like cystic acne #or that a retinol cream will fix like burns or scarring or major disfigurement #so for pretty much everyone else #acne is just gonna happen to some people and it is what it is #your skin will change and shift with both age and life change #and no amount of viral masks or hacks will change that #so just like. wash your face. put sunscreen on. vibe

I keep seeing posts that are like "you don't need a complicated skincare regimen!" and then proceed to list like the "only" 20 things you need. Or "you don't need to wear makeup!" and then list "only" 10 makeup essentials

like....

when I say you don't need a skincare regimen I mean you don't NEED to do anything. If you protect your skin with hat/clothes, you don't even need much sunscreen. If you're exposed, wear sunscreen. If you have some problem, seek out a solution, but these solutions aren't universal because we're all different and live in different climates. My skin doesn't even demand moisturizer most of the time. Yours might. But there's no list of things you have to buy.

when I say you don't need makeup, I mean you don't need ANY. In my early 20s I never went out without some makeup, but for years I have worn NONE (absent the odd concealer bc turns out acne never goes away) and literally nothing bad has happened as a result. Wear makeup if you want (or if you're in a culture/industry that demands it, which is very real), but let's be clear that it isn't in any way necessary

at some point, just own the fact that you like buying this shit, which is FINE.

reading these things makes me feel like I'm losing my marbles I swear to god

#put my daily sunscreen moisturizer on today for the first time in months #welcome spring I guess 😂 #incidentally I love the app UV Index that has a widget showing current UV and will also keep track of how long you can be in the sun #before reapplying based on your skin type #but honestly I'm obsessed with the UV sun shirts #i think this must be a neurodivergent thing bc I HATE the way sunscreen feels on my arms #bless the sun shirts #so much better for me #the feeling of old sunscreen on your skin has to be a top 10 Sensory nightmare for me

being super normal about White calling Billy "a dreamer"after the events of Maybe No Go

#truly alarming amount of tags on this post don't click read more fr #the venture bros #pete white #bily quizboy #billy whalen #idk man the way they balance each other is really interesting #the things they agree on and disagree on are almost arbitrary #'you can't put mouthwash in a cookie' 'trust me' vs 'we should spend 10 mil on a motorcycle instead of housing' 'that's such a cool idea' #billy trying to pep white up about the ball #'this was your dream too' like come on dude when have pete's dreams ever worked out #when have yours #'what are we gonna do now billy?' 'we'll cross that bridge when we come to it' #baby the bridge has never been more present #ALSO white calling billy the dreamer when HE'S the one who pushes so hard for things #billy has dreams that might not be realistic but they give him hope and he works around the way the world works to make things happen #like being a self-taught surgeon and believing in a magic ball #pete has dreams IN SPITE of what is realistic and he will mold reality to be what he wants in order to make it happen #like fixing the quizshow and pretty much everything that happened in invisible hand of fate #and they both have disabilities that affect them in vastly different ways and impact their relationship with realistic goals #like billy's hydrocephalus being presented to the audience as mostly a social issue for him and the hand and eye being marks of trauma #rather than like an actual block for him beyond needing to tune the hand up every now and then #vs white's albinism making him physically unable to be in direct sunlight and making him actively fearful of doing certain things and #being certain places #to be clear i know the actual effects of hydrocephalus as well as the hand and eye but this is based on how the show presents it #like billy took these things about himself into account and went ok these are part of my reality and i will work with them #and pete took his reality and went ok i will cover it up with fake tan and wigs or sunscreen and hats and make reality what i want it to be #and that's what makes them a good team!! that's why they science together well #it's also why they argue so much #accepting reality and playing within its constraints vs hating reality and changing it to suit you #these are the hallmarks of scientific progress

[derichelieu]

I don't think I can ever become an every day SPF wearer type of person, sunscreen just feels so so so yuckydisgusting to me. I put that shit on and I immediately want to claw it off my skin and take a shower :/

#I know how I am about sunscreen so I got a nicer one that's like aloe vera based #still disgusting #the most I can do is put it on my legs where my tattoos are coz I paid too much for that shit to let it fade #arms and face are a complete no go zone tho I don't care

[moony-t0ast]

I’m so burnt 😭😭

#I put on so much sunscreen?? #it’s bad #I’m in pain #it was worth it tho :))

[lepakonpaska]

managed to convince a local chocolate shop to give free products for our pride events via emails of all things, my bosses client told me he wants a tattoo from me in the future and my boss told me that I fit this place so well that she feels weird tattooing on the days I'm not here and like.... genuinely how are things like this my real life now 😭✨️

#personal #i know i keep yelling about my job here BUT LIKE. I LOVE IT SO MUCH #also the guy in here rn is so fucking fun we've just been yelling about politics and music for the past six hours <3 #also i mentioned that i forgot to put sunscreen on this morning and my boss immediately was like #'oh just take one of those spf50 from the shelf! no you don't need to pay for it just take it'

Deepika and Shah Rukh doing skincare routines with her brand before the Pathaan conference gives off potential post-canon domestic vibes with a side of irl-sponsorship ('i'm glowing' 'you are') and i am f*cking soft

#film: pathaan #pathaan #shah rukh khan #srk #deepika padukone #bollywood #local gay watches Bollywood.txt #her kindly asking him to wear sunscreen bc 'a little birdie' told her he does not and him being like '🥺... OK' #him then putting sunscreen on his eyelids bc it's SPF drops and he figured that's where it should go (correct) #'i hope your wife sees this and i hope your children see this... and i hope that they feel happy that for at least one day of your life #you did so much to your skin' crying rn such a roast ma'am but it's done with love #and then the response that makes me want to kiss SRK on the forehead very tenderly like a little child: #'i hope when i go home they recognize me with the beauty that had been revealed' 'Gauri must not feel that someone else has entered #our home today' #which is directly juxtaposed with him in the ending saying that he means this with all love and sweetness #but 'we're going to go change clothes now and i'm going to teach her [Deepika]' #the man winked. he f*cking winked #i take back the kiss on the forehead you are a flirt and a scoundrel (affectionate) #as an aside i'm in love with her nude manicure but at the same time #Shah Rukh sir. did you get a manicure as well sir or are your nails that good #the f*cking sheen on them you must at least be wearing clear nail polish #tl;dr: they're hot af barefaced and joking around in front of a mirror and then heading out for the pre-conference photoshoot #case closed everyone go home
