GROWING OUT + STYLING YOUR LASHES

Minimise the use of mascara + if you do use it anyway, ensure that most of the residue is washed off with micellar water before you go to sleep

Avoid lash adhesives, falsies, eyelash curlers etc for the time being.

Using a clean spoolie, brush through your lashes everyday, this helps stimulate them which promotes growth.

Apply oil to your lashes daily- coconut, castor, olive etc etc. use a cotton swab for a clean application.

Consider taking biotin, collagen, or vitamin E as supplements for lash growth (consult with your doctor first!)

Avoid touching/rubbing your eyes, as this can pull out some of your lashes.

Use tweezers carefully to style your lashes each morning

To naturally curl your lashes, I just use a small spoolie and warm Vaseline, and leave it for around 1-2 minutes.

Apply some Vaseline there and there because it helps with locking in moisture but don’t apply anything to the roots as it will block the hair follicles for growth

GROWING OUT + STYLING YOUR EYEBROWS

Same things here- wash your face and ensure no make up residue is in your eyebrows + apply oils daily.

Avoid plucking your eyebrows for 12~ weeks. This gives them time to properly grow and actually highlight stray hairs.

Try to wear sunglasses that cover your eyebrows, as excessive UV exposure to your eyebrows can harm the proteins there, which cause them to be brittle and thinner.

Once again apply small amounts of Vaseline but the former still applies.

Exfoliate your eyebrows around 3x a week as it stimulates the follicles which promotes growth

Use eyebrow gel for them to stay put throughout the day, but a good quality one as some can leave white residue.

Fill them in if they’re sparse, but still be diligent. Overfilled eyebrows<<<

Know if an arch, soft arch, or straight eyebrows suit you the best, dear peachie has a good video on this.

🤔Why Going Without Shampoo and Conditioner Can Give You Thicker, Stronger Hair?

🙅‍♀️Shampoo and conditioner can strip your hair and scalp of natural oils, which can lead to dryness, breakage, and other hair problems.

🌱Natural methods can also clean and nourish hair without striping natural oil nor exposing you to harsh chemicals.

Here are 2 best natural methods to wash your hair, without striping natural oils :

1️⃣Apple cider vinegar rinse :

– Mix 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water and pour over your hair, massaging your scalp. Rinse with water after a few minutes.

ACV balances pH, removes buildup, and stimulates hair growth.

2️⃣Baking soda wash :

– Make a paste with 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda and water, then massage it into your hair and scalp. After rinsing, use vinegar.

Baking soda promotes hair growth, removes oil, and adds volume.

🤷‍♀️What are the natural remedies for better hair growth?

- Onion juice

- Egg mask

- Rosemary oil

I have been using cold pressed hexane free castor oil with Rosemary oil to rub into my scalp and sleeping with it like that at night. I am seeing a difference.

The I'm using 👇

½ cup castor oil

6-7 drops of rosemary oil

Massage into the scalp about 2 hours before bed, cover the pillow with a towel and after 2 months I'm seeing positive results.

I do this every other day and I don't use shampoo or conditioner, I use Amish soap with all natural ingredients. 🤔

how to reduce acne (and what is acne)

acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. it typically results in whiteheads, blackheads or pimples that can appear on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. acne is most prevalent among teens but can affect people of all ages. several factors contribute to acne, such as excess oil production, buildup of dead skin cells, bacterial growth and inflammation.

acne is not inherently 'bad' but it is a source of discomfort for many people. while acne itself is not a bad thing, it can lead to potential complications if not managed properly, such as scarring or emotional distress.

when reading this post, it is important to remember that everyone's skin is different and what works for one person may not work for another. i'd like to add that i am not a dermatologist, and this post is written with my own experience in mind as well as research online.

reducing acne involves a combination of skincare practices and lifestyle adjustments. here are some recommended actions:

properly wash your face cleanse your face twice daily to remove excess oil, sweat and dirt. some common face washing mistakes include using the wrong cleanser, over-washing your face, under-washing your face, the wrong water temperature and using a dirty washcloth. don't worry if this all seems confusing, here's a post on how to properly wash your face.

know your skin type use products suitable for your skin type only--oily, dry, combination or sensitive. you can find this out by visiting a dermatologist or (alternatively) researching the skin types and seeing which best matches your skin.

moisturise moisturiser curbs dryness, which balances oil production in your face and therefore helps to prevent acne. choose a non-comedogenic moisturiser to not clog your pores.

consider over-the-counter treatments think about acne treatments with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

stay hydrated drink plenty of water to maintain skin hydration. good hydration helps to maintain skin elasticity, supports the skin's protective functions and prevents sunburn, sensitivity and oiliness. women should drink about 2.7L of fluids every day (including water, other beverages and food).

limit makeup use minimal makeup and ensure that it is non-comedogenic. don't stop wearing makeup if it is something you enjoy, however, try to limit it in acne-strong areas.

don't touch your face this is a big one, and yet so many people do it. keep your hands away from your face to prevent the spread of bacteria. seriously, you use your hands for so much--you don't want the germs of everything you've touched on your face.

limit sun exposure protect your skin with appropriate sunscreen. and remember to re-apply! limiting sun exposure also reduces skin cancer risk. balance is key, though, because the sun is necessary for vitamin d production and maintaining circadian rhythms.

exercise regularly physical activity can help reduce stress, which may contribute to acne.

enjoy a healthy diet eating a well-balanced diet can support skin health. consider reducing dairy and high glycemic foods. a diet with a low glycemic index may help balance hormone levels, which is the same effect when insulin spikes occur less. essential nutrients promote skin health and help to repair and maintain the skin barrier.

invest in stress management find ways to reduce stress, such as journaling or going for a walk. stress can worsen acne. this is because, under stress, the body's healing process slows down, meaning acne can take longer to heal and become more severe. stress hormones can also increase oil production, leading to clogged pores.

my routines & why

hey loves! today i want to talk about the routines i have, how i got into the them and why i do them. i think when it comes to developing a routine it’s important to know why you’re doing each step, which is why i’m going to be explaining them. i’m going to skip obvious things like showering and brushing my teeth cuz i don’t really need to explain why i do those things lol

my beauty/self-care routine

workout. i make sure to workout everyday for the sake of building strength and improving my health.

scalp massage w/ oil. before my shower and after working out put argan oil on my roots and massage it in for about 5 minutes. i do this to promote hair growth and regulate my scalp’s oil production.

remove makeup before shower. i do this just so my face is clean and my mascara doesn’t run everywhere during my shower. but i do my skincare routine after brushing my teeth (after dinner)

moisturize after shower (face and body). i always make sure that my skin is never dry, i hate dry skin. i put a little moisturizer on my face so it doesn’t feel dry.

skin-care. after i brush my teeth i wash my face, use a toner to balance my skin tone and then i use a moisturizer. i do this to keep my skin clean and clear.

face massage. i massage my face around the jaw and cheeks to reduce tension. this also helps for facial asymmetry.

oil to ends of hair. if my hair is kinda dry at the ends i add a little oil to make sure it doesnt look dry.

before bed routine

make sure my self care routine is done. to make sure i go to bed being clean and feeling good.

journal. i write in a journal everyday about what i do. i honestly don’t have a reason for this but i’ve been doing it for 3 years so why stop?

read. i read everyday, sometimes before bed. i do this because i like reading and it helps me relax.

clean my room (if it needs it). i do this so i don’t have to clean my room the following morning. it also de-stresses me before bed, otherwise all i’ll think about is how messy my room looks.

pray. i pray every night, usually just thanking God and listing the things i’m grateful for. i do this because i believe in God and it’s good for me to go over all the blessings in my life.

general habits:

30 minutes of math every morning. i’m doing this so i can finish learning algebra 2 before the schoolyear starts, just so i do good in class.

writing 1500 words. i do this because i love to write and want to be a better writer, and i saw stephen king talking about the benfits of writing 1500 words a day.

reading for 30 minutes. i do this so i can idk- just like get the benefits of reading.

45/50 minute walks. i do this to stay in shape, get fresh air, and discover new music.

how i created these routines

about 3 years ago i had no routine, and i wasn’t really consistent with anything. what i did was i started small. i started by working out 5x a week and doing the bare minimum in terms of skincare. i stayed consistent with that and i began to get willpower to do more. knowing WHY these habits are important has also helped me a lot in terms of motivating me to stay consistent to my routine.

Hi! Any beauty hacks you mind sharing?

𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔:

- use silk pillow cases for your skin & hair

- lash growing serum works!! (I use grande lash)

- rice water / rosemary oil for long silky smooth hair

- ice masks / quartz rollers for your skin: promotes blood circulation & is meant to depuff and reduce inflammation

- cuticle oil for healthy strong nails

- putting a little bit of peroxide in your mouth wash helps whiten your teeth

- men’s after shave to reduce razor bumps

- always brush your tongue first thing in the morning to get rid of any toxins

- hyaluronic acid oral pills enhances its benefits and keeps your skin hydrated & plumped

- getting hair trims every 6 months promotes hair growth by getting rid of the split ends and breakage.

- with skin care, remember mornings are to protect & nights are to repair

- ditch the dairy and sugar if you want clear healthy skin

- remember that your neck and chest are an extension to your face! treat them with protective products as well.

- if you struggle with body hair and are constantly needing to shave, i truly recommend doing laser hair removal. it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, i went from shaving my underarms and bikini area every 3 days to only once a month which helped so much with hyperpigmentation and razor bumps. it’s expensive but totally worth it.

- wrap your hair in a cotton t-shirt place of a towel to prevent breakage and roughness

- castor oil to thicken your eyebrows

- vitamin E brightens scars

- put Vaseline on the areas you want your perfume to stick

- look into the stomach vacuum exercise! performing it daily will help shrink the waist line and tone your abs

Hey trans mascs on HRT who are feeling hair loss p hard: rosemary oil may be a good option if you want to promote a bit of new growth and keep your hair nice and healthy. I've had decent results using it for about 4 months now, parts of my hair that were thinning have thickened back up a fair amount

There are a few studies showing that rosemary oil is about as effective as other hair loss treatments like here and here, but it's definitely a field needing more study, though I've seen plenty of testimonies from others backing up its efficiency (me included!)

Some things of note:

-Obviously I'm only speaking from personal experience and not everyone is the same! I can not speak to how effective this will be for you.

-Like with hair loss treatments, if you stop using it, your hair will return to its former state. However the great thing with rosemary oil is that it takes forever to go through a bottle. You only need 5-10 drops per application and you only need to use it a couple times a week. Most bottles of rosemary essential oil cost about 10 dollars, which I find to be a decent price considering how long it can last.

-Additionally, rosemary oil seems to only work on thickening up pre-existing and thinning hair, not make new hair (at least for me). My high peaks have hardly gained any new growth but what I do have has thickened up quite a bit.

If you want to try rosemary oil, please make sure to only use it 1-3 times a week and mix it with a shampoo or carrier oil (jojoba and coconut are good ones). Rosemary oil is really strong. Dont apply it to you bare scalp without diluting it a bit. Make sure you scrub it into your scalp for a couple minutes, and most importantly, be patient. Like many hair loss treatments, it takes about 4-6 months to really start seeing a change. I still suggest looking into more detailed application descriptions as applying it correctly is rather important, applying straight up rosemary oil to your hair will probably make things worse.

Additionally, these tips are coming from a white guy with cowlicks and stiff hair, if you're someone with a different hair texture, please make sure to research what others like you may have said about applying rosemary oil. Always use a carrier unless the product you get says otherwise!

DO NOT USE IT FOR BEARD GROWTH. The androgen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), is what promotes male pattern baldness but it also promotes beard growth. Supposedly (and this is not a claim I have 100% verified as scientifically true but I've seen this explanation used quite frequently) rosemary oil helps block the production of DHT. So using it on your beard will likely not help it.

Please know this is a post with good intentions, I'm not trying to give anyone false hope. My hair loss really made me stressed and dropped my confidence a lot. Some hair loss medicines have been known to cause trans mascs to start their period again and their overall efficiency is flaky, so I didn't want to try any of them. Rosemary oil has been very helpful for me and it could be for you! The worst thing the oil can do is make your hair smell nice, even if it doesnt give you a lions mane. Just remember to be patient and do some research about applying before starting :]

#Eventually I will accept my hair is going and stop using it but for now this has been really helping my mental health #Long post #Hair care #Trans masc #Trans man #Hair loss #Transgender

taking care of your lashes and eyebrows

while they may seem like small details, they can actually make a big difference in your overall appearance. here are some simple tips to help you keep your lashes and brows healthy and looking their best:

gentle cleansing: when washing your face, be gentle around your eye area to avoid damaging your lashes and eyebrows. use a mild cleanser and pat your skin dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing.

remove makeup carefully: when removing eye makeup, use a gentle eye makeup remover and avoid rubbing or tugging at your lashes and brows. opt for oil-based removers or micellar water, which can help dissolve stubborn makeup without harsh scrubbing.

nourish with oils: consider incorporating natural oils like coconut oil, castor oil, or almond oil into your skincare routine to help nourish and strengthen your lashes and brows. simply apply a small amount to your lashes and brows before bedtime and leave it on overnight.

avoid overplucking: resist the urge to overpluck your eyebrows, as this can lead to thinning and sparse brows over time. instead, aim for a natural shape and only remove stray hairs as needed.

brush regularly: use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb through your eyebrows and lashes each day. this helps distribute natural oils, stimulates hair growth, and keeps your brows and lashes looking neat and well-groomed.

consider growth serums: if you're looking to enhance the appearance of your lashes and brows, consider using growth serums or conditioners specifically formulated for this purpose. these products can help promote thicker, fuller lashes and brows over time.

protect from the sun: just like your skin, your lashes and brows can be damaged by the sun's harmful UV rays. consider wearing sunglasses or applying a sunscreen specifically designed for the eye area to protect your lashes and brows from sun damage.

by following these simple tips, you can keep your lashes and eyebrows looking healthy, strong, and beautiful. so give them some love and watch them flourish!

Peppermint

(Alternatively known as 'Pest Control')

Living in the human world had meant learning tips and tricks to keep pests at bay while still enjoying small luxuries. Such as using lavender to deter bed bugs the one time you bought and forgot to clean a comforter at a thrift store, or peppermint around windows and doors to keep spiders outside. You hadn't known, of course, that such tricks could apply to pests in the Netherworld too. You couldn't decide whether you were happy or not to discover they did in fact do so.

TW! There is technically a torture scene in here? A character gets a bottle full of peppermint oil to their face, which is known to cause skin irritation and rashes on humans when used too much, and does slightly worse due to him rather special heritage and lack of exposure to it. Also light descriptions of gore, or at least I think it falls under the gore category? Maybe?

Also, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY AND UNHOLY, DO NOT TAKE THE PLANT AND OTHER FACTS AT FACE VALUE!!! I am not a trained botanist nor biologist (I haven't even started my college courses yet!) and everything in here is based on research I've found in books, oral stories, online research, and personal findings. ALWAYS check in with professionals before using or consuming something you don't know about. I use some of the things in here because it's what I grew up with, BUT it does not mean it's actually true or safe. Please take caution in the things you use!

Also, the MC in this is a tad bit of a hater of insects, which in no way reflects my views. So if you're like me and actually find the bug world terribly fascinating, you may not like some of this. Hopefully, you enjoy the rest, though! Also, there's some Shiida X reader, and Balam x reader if you squint, really hard.

The taking down of one Atori had been both incredulous and laughably easy for you.

In hindsight, you supposed it wouldn't have been as easy if you hadn't known a little bit of basic human world biology and been a bit of a hoarder.

In the human world, spiders and other bugs are a bit of (read, incredibly) a hindrance. You understood they were needed for the ecosystem to thrive, and you did enjoy a fair few (snails in particular were very cute, for example), but for the most part, they were an annoyance in your daily life. When they weren't posing a danger, that is.

To keep such annoyances at bay, you had taken to making 'herbal potions' that smelt good to you, but that most bugs hated. Even taking to wearing it as hairsprays, body oils, and lotions to keep them away from your person while working your various jobs or just going out and about. The added health benefits you gained from soft, clear skin and full, shiny hair were merely a nice bonus you wouldn't complain about.

It had been incredibly easy to squirrel away unwanted seedlings from farming gigs or dumped herbs that had fallen on the floor from your serving jobs. The thrown-away herbs were the hardest to save, but you always felt so proud to see the cuttings growing tiny roots after a few weeks in water-filled cups. Such plants were then cleaned and went through various lengthy processes depending on what you wanted at the time.

Lavender oil to spray on and around your bed, because you failed to clean one comforter from a thrift store, basil lotion to repel mosquitoes, and large amounts of various types of mint along with others. The mints were mostly used to spray around the doors, windows, and the general perimeter of your tiny home, to keep bugs from invading in the first place. You even used the extra for your hair specifically, both to promote growth and just because it smelt nice.

You had even just finished a fresh batch, of newly sealed vials and bottles in your old, patched bag to transfer when Sullivan had invaded your home and essentially kidnapped you. Granted, you had willingly gone once he motioned to a bound Iruma, but still. You had been non-too-pleased when you discovered Iruma's parents had sold both of your souls to the demon, vowing revenge if it was the last thing you did.

Regardless, because you had this batch and no bugs to use them on (Opera did an excellent job of keeping the mansion pest free, and that was assuming the Netherworld even had those kinds of bugs, to begin with), they had been delegated to strictly hair product use until you ran out.

It had been rather surprising, and humorous, for you to find out that this world had a similar-smelling plant. That apparently only high-rankers and rich folk used, due to how difficult it was to grow and harvest, along with how volatile it was, and its rather fond taste for flesh.

A misunderstanding had eventually arisen that you were as, or at least close to, as powerful as Sullivan was and simply hiding your rank when Suzie-sensei had asked how you acquired the oils. Your confusion, briefly forgetting that you were not in the human world any more, led to you confessing that you simply used to grow them from cuttings before crushing them into oils and pastes yourself, and how you were quite sad that you no longer had access to them due to moving in with Sullivan. The awed and calculating looks everyone had given you had lasted for days until the Battler party, and Iruma took centre stage again with his "fireworks".

Although you could still hear the occasional whispers about how powerful you must be to have Sullivan as a father, and, the quickly rising through the ranks, Iruma as a son. You quite often wanted to bang your head on a wall when you heard those because of that one slip of a mistake. Especially when, for your birthday, after bemoaning the fact you were running low, the Babyls teachers had banded together to get you a couple of cuttings from the actual Netherworld peppermint plant counterpart, the Geagpian.

You had quickly understood why others feared it so much. Smelling almost disgustingly minty up close, it rather reminded you of a stinking corpse lily in looks. If a stinking corpse lily was far smaller, had sharp teeth surrounding the inside of its petals and sentient vines covered in sharp hollow thorns filled with paralysing venom and grew multiple flowers along a tall cactus-like stem. The three, foot-long cuttings they had given you had apparently almost eaten Robin and a couple of curious students in the few days they were hiding it from you. When one of the Geagpian tried to do so again, your rather firm smack on its creeping vines only cemented their ideals of you being powerful when it quickly drew back again. Despite your apprehensive feelings about having such a dangerous gift, you had almost cried that they had tried to be so thoughtful.

The Geagpians were then lovingly planted in a corner of the mansion's outer garden, far away from the other plants, where you happily took care of them. The nauseating in-your-face mint smell, a small comfort of your old home. Not that you wanted to go back.

Now, though, a year into your stay here in the Netherworld, hunched over Sabro and the first years, checking them for serious injuries, as Shichirou fought Atori, you were rather glad that you had a few of your original hair oils left. And even happier that you had a full bottle in your pocket thanks to Shiida.

(You glanced up when a sudden shadow crossed over the table you were sitting at in the teacher's break room. One of the newest teachers, Shiida, you thought her name was, staring at you before flumping down in the seat next to you. You blinked in surprise before internally shrugging and going back to the book you were reading.

It was as obvious as the two moons in the night sky that the girl was bad at social interactions, and as a fellow 'no social skills' person, you could understand how hard it could be to make friends with your new co-workers. If this was her attempt to break out of her mould and make new relationships, you were most certainly not going to stop her.

You sat together in relative silence, the occasional flipping of a page in your book, the sound of fabric as she shifted, or another teacher wandering in briefly to say hello, being the only sounds to interrupt your peace. Over the course of your break, however, her shifting increased. Hands wringing together, bottom lip pulled between her teeth as she seemed to contemplate something. Taking pity on the poor girl, you slid a silk ribbon bookmark, a gift courtesy of Kalego who had been annoyed at the constant crinkling of the random papers you had shoved in between the pages, and closed your book.

"Is something bothering you, Shiida-sensei?" She startled, turning towards you with wide eyes and the slightest parting of lips. You gave her what you hoped was a comforting smile, "While I'm not certain I can help, I will certainly try."

"Your scent..." she said suddenly. You paused in surprise, not actually expecting an answer beyond 'I'm fine'.

Then your thoughts took over. Your scent? Had you forgotten your perfume today? You had been in a rush having woken up late, but no, you were certain Shichirou would have said something if you had when you joined him for a jointly taught class this morning. Or even one of the students, they weren't exactly known for keeping their mouths shut after all. (The one time you switched up scents just to try something new, everyone demanded to know if you were courting someone. That had taken forever to clear up, and you hadn't worn anything else sense.) Demons, it turned out, were especially blunt creatures by nature. Rarely talking with constant double-wording that humans so favoured unless they were especially manipulative, or a member of the succubus battler.

"It....smells good... What is...the scent?" A faint blush was appearing on her face, and she appeared to be about five seconds away from bolting. A giggle left you before you could stop it. She was actually very adorable, wasn't she?

"Oh, is that all? It's a Geagpian mixture. I grow and make it myself."

"I see... Atori-san hates it... I like it." She nodded to herself, "Where...can I find?" You blinked in surprise. Atori hated the scent of your hair oils? That explains why he always avoided you, even taking positions as far from you as possible when you had to share space in meetings. Your first meeting made exceptional sense now.

When you had first met, Atori had attempted to greet you from behind, only to get a face full of your hair when you turned around. You had assumed the rather violent reaction of his body jerking and entire face seizing up had been because of the surprise at a rather hearty amount of hair suddenly in his face.

You had long since wondered if you had offended him somehow with the hair slap, but everyone had drawn blanks because Momonoki had done the same thing only a few hours later, and much harder considering the absolute length of hair and speed she had done it with, and he was still perfectly fine with her. Though, you considered it a blessing in disguise the longer you watched him. There was just something about him that creeped you out, especially after Shichirou confessed that he was certain they were hiding something.

"I can give you some of mine to try if you would like. I have a couple of extras since it lasts for three-four years in a bottle, and I've just pruned mine to be able to make more." And hadn't that been a pain to try and figure out? You couldn't ask any of the teachers at Babyls what parts to make into the oils since they were under the impression you already knew, and most breeders were rather tight-lipped in their secrets in fear that you were a competitor.

Well until Opera decided to get involved, and then you had not only which parts were safe to use but also formulas for the best things to mix with them and brand-new equipment to get started.

"Although I'm surprised you would want to smell like me if your friend hates it."

"Friend...?" Ah, right, you had forgotten that was a human word.

"Friends are people who enjoy spending time together and help one another, but in a non-romantic or familial sense. Like how Iruma, Alice, and Clara do or Shichirou and Kalego. It's like allies but stronger, if that makes sense. If you want, we can be friends?" You held out your hand towards her and were rather reminded of the scene from the first Harry Potter film.

The longer she stared wide-eyed at your hand, the more you started to worry you would end up like Draco. Spurned before even being given a chance. Until slowly but surely her hand rose up and took yours. Eyes alight in wonder as she looks fixedly at your joined hands.

"Not friends...with Atori...forced...companionship....coworkers on various jobs...no one else....to really talk to..."

"Well, now you can talk to me!" You declared brightly, a large smile gracing your face. "Whenever you want to spend time together or need some help, just come to me and I'll be there."

"Can we...pet chicks...?"

"Of course! I'll even ask Shichirou if he knows of any petting zoos around here, and we can visit to pet lots of animals if so. And to cement this newfound friendship, how about I bring a bottle of my hair oil tomorrow to give you after the exam? As a way to celebrate our obvious winnings as well."

"I would...like that."

"Then it's a deal!")

Looking up from your position, fingering the bottle in your pocket, your mind racing with what to do. You had three terrified students, two of which were injured, and at least one deranged intruder. Potentially two if he and Shiida were working together. And wasn't that a sad thought? Your possible new friend could actually be an enemy in disguise.

Though as you watched Shichirou smack down Atori with a giant fist made of vines, you could at least be assured you wouldn't have to attempt to fight. Shichrou had it well in hand, and eveidently he thought so as well as he turned back and gave you a nod, hellphone already in hand to contact the others.

You started to turn back to the students to get them ready to be transferred when you noticed movement out of the corner of your eye. Whirling back around you saw it again. Thin shimmering strands of something were protruding out of where Atori's body lay before. You dared a glance at Shichirou who hadn't yet noticed, back still turned to the danger.

You cried out his name in panic, right before a multitude of the strands poured out and wrapped around the fallen demon. Shichirou whirled around and you both watched, stunned, as the strands seemed to undulate, as if something was moving underneath. Were...were they healing him? No, your eyes darted about the shapes, counting each one and cataloguing how they move.

It wasn't healing Atori, it was changing him.

You risked another glance at Shichirou who was still standing there surprised. He wasn't doing anything, why wasn't he doing anything? Strike, burn, crush, something before-!

The threads tore apart, and your gaze was forced back to the suddenly mutated body before you. Atori stood slowly, shakily rising, his body with that came equipped with two extra sets of limbs. He hadn't just changed slightly, he had metamorphised. Like....like a bug, you suddenly realized. A giant spider that had been humanized.

Your hands flexed around the bottle in your pocket again. Should you? Could you? There was no guarantee it would do anything, and even if it did, you only had one shot. One shot to make this work when you were lucky to throw something straight on your best days. But would it even work, or would you just be in the way?

Shiida's words rang in your mind, "Atori-san hates it". If that were true and really what reason would she have to lie about that of all things? If he really did hate it and that was before the change, then maybe...just maybe.

You forced yourself out of your thoughts right as Atori started to bring his hand up. Your hand clench around the bottle harder, bringing it out of your pocket as your body moved to exit the egg shaped shield Shichirou had thrown up in the beginning. All thoughts focused on your task, it never registered that you shouldn't have been able to leave it all, and yet your body flowed through like it wasn't even there.

You had seconds, Atori's hand already at his mouth, lips forming an o-shape as if blowing. You saw it in slow motion as more threads, webs, spurred out and flew at Shichirou’s face. Sliding past him, you ducked underneath, far from the splash zone, and continued on your way. You could already see Atori starting to turn to get away. You were so close, just a little more, and there! Hand whipping out, you felt the bottle leave you, flying in an arch right towards its target.

Smack!

The bottle struck the side of Atori's head, glass shards flying as the liquid poured out directly onto his skin. His loud screech of pain echoed across the courtyard, pausing in his retreat to use his multiple hands to scratch at his face. You watched horrified, scrambling backwards again to get towards safety, as Atori fell to his knees, screams never fading. You felt large hands grab at your arms and almost panicked until you saw the tale-tell sign of green gloves. Shichirou.

You let yourself be pulled against his chest as he jumped further away from the still screeching demon, more vines being produced to wrap around Atori's body once more. This time staying there to hold him in place. With Atori's arms held in place and no longer covering his face, you finally saw what damage you had done. The entire right side of his face was bright red and bulging, some areas far darker than others, an obvious sign of where the oils had hit first and stayed the longest. His left eye, that was still open, rolled about its socket manically as if he couldn't focus it at all.

Once a considerable distance away, Shichirou put you down, but still hovered about directly behind you. You stood frozen, still staring at the carnage you had wrought on the spider demon. Completely ignoring the gargoyle behind you as he tried to check you over, a rant about dangers spilling from his lips, your eyes stayed locked on Atori. Adrenaline making it, so you couldn’t take your eyes away from the possible danger. It wasn’t until Shichirou forced your head to look at him that you finally took your gaze away.

“Are you alright?” He asked softly. Were you? No, you were not alright. Your senses, still so high-strung, still screamed of danger. That turning your back was perilousness. All of your inner instincts clamouring and fighting to rip out of you and take care of the threat. Or at least run away.

To run...run? Run! Your entire body jerked forward instinctively, Shichirou's arms wrapping around you, his wings bursting forth in a flurry of feathers ready to block whatever was coming to your back as he lept away again. Your hands clutched his shirt tightly, eyes scrunching shut in fear at being so exposed and not being able to see the danger, much less attack back. Pulse racing, you waited for the attack to hit.

Only, it never did.

There was a loud cracking noise, that rather reminded you of bones snapping, and a pained yowl by the time Shichirou touched down again. Most of his body stayed tense, but the arms holding you loosened just enough that you could look to see what happened. Turning around, the first thing you noticed was Shiida, with a rather more exposed outfit than you remembered seeing her in this morning, lowering her leg back toward the ground. Stepping on top of a knocked-down Atori, a spray of web trailed from his mouth to fall only a few inches short of where you had been. She easily dug her heel into his back, exactly where you assumed his wing roots were...

"You will....not hurt....my friend," Shiida growled, digging her foot further into his back. His body spasmed out of instinct, but it was obvious to tell from the way his body had fallen, she had fully snapped his spine.

"Shiidaaaaa..." Atori growled out, "How… could you?!"

"Friends help...one another...when needed... You...threatened friend... I end...the threat," Shiida explained before locking eyes with you, "I help...my friend."

My allegiance lies with you.

Your eyes teared up from all the emotions stirring in you like a cyclone, the most prominent being relief and something akin to affection blooming across your chest. You understood her message and nodded at her with a watery smile.

A wall of fire surrounded the four of you, followed by what appeared to be a wall of flower guns crawling up the side of the building, Ifirit-sensei and Suzy-sensei. You heard the door to the side of you slam open and the pounding of footsteps as more and more teachers filed in as backup.

Your body almost collapsed from the amount of relief that flowed through you, and if Shichirou’s arms weren’t still holding you close, you probably would have. You and the others were safe, there was simply no way Atori could take on the entire staff of Babyls if he had issues with two, technically three, of you. When the heavy pressure of Sullivan’s aura arrived long before you saw his tall, lean form, it merely confirmed what you already knew.

Atori would not be getting away this day.

"Hey, Shichirou?" He hummed in response, Shiida walking closer to you guys after finally getting off of Atori’s battered body, and Sullivan got to work questioning him. "Do you know of any petting zoos around here? Specifically, one with chicks?"

The crazed look he gave you was more than worth the slightly hysterical laugh that left your throat as he went about checking your head for injuries.

🌿Rosemary Devotional - Day 4: Mundane Properties.

Culinary Properties. Rosemary is one of the most prized herbs used in cooking, especially in Mediterranean cuisine. It is used to flavour various dishes, both sweet and savoury, but is most popular in dressings for meats. Rosemary is found in the French herb blends bouquet garni and herbes de Provence as well as in seasoning blends for lamb, roasted vegetables, and various Mediterranean dishes. The leaves have a bitter taste which compliments fatty foods like lamb and oily fish. Rosemary leaves contain about 1 to 2.5% essential oils and the main flavour of rosemary comes from the aromatic compounds “eucalyptol” and “alpha pinene” which are described as camphor-like and piney respectively.

Narbonne honey from France mostly comes from bees feeding on rosemary blossoms.

Use in Beauty and Cosmetics. Rosemary flowers and leaves contain an essential oil which has a strong aromatic fragrance, making it a popular ingredient in perfumery, cosmetics, hair products and incense burners.

Rosemary has strong antioxidant properties and contains iron, calcium, and phytonutrients so it is added to hair care products to provide hydration and protection from sun damage. Medicinal Properties. The herb has been hailed since ancient times for its medicinal properties. Rosemary was traditionally used to help alleviate muscle pain, improve memory, boost the immune and circulatory system, and promote hair growth and is a good source of iron, calcium, and vitamin B-6. The leaves and flowers of rosemary can be used to make a tea, thought to relieve headaches, colic, colds, and depression. Rosemary also has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

It was used in traditional European herbal remedies for a variety of ailments, including wounds, eczema, poor appetite, and asthma. Modern research have shown that rosemary may improve a person’s concentration, performance, speed, and accuracy and, to a lesser extent, their mood. Other studies suggest that Rosemary may slow brain aging and could possibly protect against macular degeneration. Rosemary can affect the activity of some medications, including:

Anticoagulant drugs: These include blood-thinning medications, such as Warfarin, Aspirin, and Clopidogrel.

ACE inhibitors: These are used for treating high blood pressure. They include lisinopril (Zestril), fosinopril (Monopril), captopril (Capoten), and enalapril (Vasotec).

Diuretics: These increase the passing of urine and include hydrocholorothiazide and furosemide (Lasix).

Lithium: This is used to treat the manic episodes of manic depression. Rosemary can act as a diuretic and cause lithium to reach toxic levels in the body.

The only everything shower routine you’ll ever need ౨ৎ

Pre shower

Hair -

Scalp oiling: use a store bought scalp oil or make your own. Cover hair with cling film to stop dust and dirt while it stays in your hair for 2-4 hours.

Rosemary water: boil rosemary in water for 20 minutes and allow to cool before straining into a spray bottle.

Scalp massage: massage scalp for at least 20 minutes once scalp oil is applied, increases blood circulation which helps hair growth.

Face -w

Flaxseed mask: mix 1/2 flaxseeds with 3 cups water, bring to a boil until thick while continuously stirring then put into a container to cool. Apply to face once cool and leave until dried, around an hour.

Shape eyebrows: pluck eyebrows, if wanted use dye to define them further.

Hands and feet-

Foot spa: if you don’t have a foot spa fill a bowl with hot water, add bath salts and essential oil for scent and extra benefits

Remove any nail polish

Shape and file nails

Scrub feet: use pumice stone or another tool, then afterwards a body/foot scrub.

Body -

Dry brush: start from the bottom of your body and work you way up. Promotes blood circulation and exfoliates giving you smooth skin.

During shower

Hair -

Double shampoo: double shampoo when scalp oiling to properly cleanse scalp of oil.

Hair mask: while the hair mask sits in your hair for 10+ minutes it’s a good time to gua sha your face.

Conditioner

Face -

Gua sha: open lymph nodes, go through a gua shaing routine, then drain lymph nodes. There are lots of tutorials online to follow. I gua sha in the shower with a face wash and water. Never gua sha on dry skin it damages your skin barrier and causes premature aging, if you skin starts to feel like it’s pulling add more moisture.

Face wash

Body -

Exfoliate: use a glove, net or other exfoliating tool to exfoliate body.

Body scrub

Body wash

Shave (if wanted): use a sharp razor, blunt razors can cause razor bumps. Shave with a cream or wash, never on skin alone.

After shower

Face -

Face mask

Skincare: if you have products that you only use every so often this is a good time to use them as an extra treat.

Eye mask

Lip scrub: make your own with sugar, honey and coconut oil or use a store bought one.

Lip balm/moisturiser

Eyelash and eyebrow oil/serum: castor oil works great for me.

Body -

Body oil: apply a scented body oil straight out of shower while skin is still damp.

Moisturize: moisturise entire body.

Hair -

Leave in conditioner: depending on hair type the amount will vary, if you have straighter hair add very little and only to the ends to prevent greasiness.

Hair oil: once hair is completely dry warm a tiny amount of hair oil in your palms (hair oil is not the same as scalp oil!) rub into the very ends of your hair to help with split ends, shine and dryness

Hands and feet -

Paint nails

Cuticle oil: apply either bought cuticle oil or another skin oil such as almond oil or coconut oil to cuticles of hands and feet after nail polish is dry.

Moisturize: moisture both hands and feet, add vaseline to feet on top and put on socks to help absorption

Extras

Layer scents: mix and match the scents body washes, scrubs, hair products and moisturisers to create your personal scent. For example fruity, warm and spicy, vanilla, etc.

Pick products for your concerns: curate your products to your skin and hair concerns. Use a more moisturising lotion is your skin is dry, use a repairing shampoo if your hair is damaged, etc.

The best time to do an everything shower is on reset days, although it’s a great way to end and start the week these don’t have to be on Sundays. Of course everything showers can be done whenever you feel like relaxing and giving yourself some love.

How to Grow Your Nail Fast

Introduction

Understanding Nail Growth

Nail growth might seem like a simple biological process, but it's influenced by various factors. Learning how to support and accelerate nail growth requires understanding the fundamentals of nail health and the mechanisms behind their growth.

Proper Nail Care

Maintain Hydration

Proper hydration isn't just beneficial for your skin; it's crucial for nail health too. Dehydrated nails are prone to brittleness and breakage, hindering growth. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day to keep your nails hydrated from within.

Balanced Diet

Nails, like any other part of your body, require essential nutrients to grow strong and healthy. Incorporate a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Foods like leafy greens, eggs, nuts, and fish can provide the necessary nutrients for optimal nail growth.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Exposure to harsh chemicals, such as those found in detergents and cleaning agents, can weaken nails and slow down growth. Wear gloves when handling such substances to protect your nails from damage.

Protective Measures

Keep Nails Trimmed

Contrary to popular belief, keeping your nails trimmed actually promotes faster growth. Regular trimming prevents split ends and breakage, allowing your nails to grow longer without the risk of damage.

Wear Gloves

Whether you're doing household chores or working outdoors, wearing gloves can shield your nails from potential harm. They act as a barrier against chemicals, harsh weather conditions, and physical trauma, safeguarding your nails and promoting healthy growth.

Nutritional Supplements

Biotin

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is renowned for its role in promoting healthy hair and nails. Consider taking biotin supplements or incorporating biotin-rich foods like eggs, almonds, and avocados into your diet to support nail growth.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that aids in repairing damaged cells, including those in your nails. It promotes circulation to the nail bed, which can stimulate growth. You can find vitamin E in foods like spinach, broccoli, and almonds or opt for supplements.

Moisturizing Treatments

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is a natural moisturizer that can penetrate deep into the nail bed, nourishing and strengthening the nails from within. Massage a few drops of jojoba oil onto your nails and cuticles daily to keep them hydrated and promote faster growth.

Shea Butter

Shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E, as well as fatty acids, making it an excellent moisturizer for nails and cuticles. Apply shea butter directly to your nails before bedtime and let it absorb overnight for maximum hydration and growth benefits.

Avoiding Nail Damage

Limiting Exposure to Water

Excessive exposure to water, especially hot water, can weaken nails and make them more prone to breakage. Wear gloves while washing dishes or cleaning, and try to minimize the time your nails spend submerged in water to maintain their strength and integrity.

Gentle Nail Care Practices

Avoid using your nails as tools for tasks like opening cans or scraping off stickers, as this can cause damage and hinder growth. Instead, use proper tools and techniques to protect your nails from unnecessary stress and trauma.

Massage Techniques

Stimulating Blood Flow

Massaging your nails and cuticles can improve blood circulation to the nail bed, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen for faster growth. Use gentle, circular motions to massage a nourishing oil or cream into your nails daily for optimal results.

Promoting Nail Growth

In addition to enhancing blood flow, nail massage can also stimulate the production of keratin, the protein responsible for nail growth. Incorporate massage into your daily nail care routine to encourage stronger, longer nails.

Herbal Remedies

Horsetail Extract

Horsetail extract is rich in silica, a mineral essential for collagen formation and nail strength. Taking horsetail supplements or using products containing horsetail extract can fortify your nails and promote faster growth.

Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel is well-known for its soothing and healing properties, making it ideal for treating brittle nails and stimulating growth. Apply fresh aloe vera gel to your nails and cuticles regularly to nourish and strengthen them from the inside out.

Patience and Consistency

Setting Realistic Expectations

While implementing these tips can accelerate nail growth, it's important to remember that nails grow slowly, typically around 1-3 millimeters per month. Be patient and consistent with your nail care routine, and you'll gradually see improvements in the health and length of your nails.

Establishing a Routine

Consistency is key when it comes to promoting nail growth. Establish a daily or weekly nail care routine that includes moisturizing, trimming, and protective measures to ensure optimal nail health and growth over time.

Professional Help

Consulting a Dermatologist

If you're experiencing persistent nail problems or slow growth despite following a healthy nail care routine, consider consulting a dermatologist. They can identify underlying issues and recommend specialized treatments or medications to address your specific concerns.

Nail Strengthening Treatments

In some cases, professional nail strengthening treatments may be necessary to promote faster growth and improve the overall health of your nails. These treatments often involve specialized formulas or procedures designed to fortify and protect the nails from damage.

Conclusion

Summary of Tips

Growing your nails faster requires a combination of proper nail care, nutritional support, protective measures, and patience. By maintaining hydration, avoiding damage, incorporating nourishing treatments, and seeking professional guidance when needed, you can achieve stronger, longer nails and flaunt your manicures with confidence. Remember to be consistent and patient in your nail care routine, and you'll soon enjoy the benefits of healthier, more beautiful nails.

Hair Care and Tips

Knowing your hair type is step one. Just being able to look at your hair and tell what it is can prove helpful in looking up style tips, hair cut options and overall base hair care tips.

If you happen to be mixed you may notice your hair has different types mixed in. It can be evenly distributed throughout your scalp or exists in various patches or sections of your hair. If your hair does have this (like me) its best to search within your hair type ranges or close to your overall look for style tips.

Once you have your hair type, its good to know your hair texture as well. Generally speaking straight to 2C range hair has a higher chance of being fine while the type 4 range hair has a higher chance of being coarse or thick, but all types of hair can have different textures.

Texture of hair usually leans based on your scalp health. That being said though its easier to thicken your hair than it is to thin your hair and if you thin your hair its a lot harder to get it back to being thick again. This is based on trimming techniques, your porosity levels and protein levels in your hair.

The most basic way to test your porosity levels is just a strand of hair and a cup of water.

If you have high porosity hair you need more sealants or sealant based oils to put in your hair in order for your moisture to not be lost but it is easier for your hair to produce moisture as well. You may tend to already have oily hair and have to cleanse your scalp more frequently while your ends need more moisture.

If you have low porosity hair the best way for your hair to get moisture is by heat. Either a hot oil treatment, heated product application, or use a hair dryer or diffuser after applying moisture to seal and stimulant absorption. Your scalp may tend to feel more tight as well and would benefit from head massages either while applying the heated moisture, when washing your hair or just to relax.

Once you got the moisture figured out (which hair products also seem to cater to the most) do you know if your hair has enough protein? Too much moisture can make your hair limp. Too much protein can make your hair easily breakable. A balance is needed to insure your best hair.

Moisture and protein can commonly be found together. If you see a product with coconut moisture, it also has protein because it uses coconut milk or oil. Second most common mix is avocado. If your hair already has too much protein whether from diet or frequent types of products, its best to avoid these ingredients.

Some oils not listed in the image but are also great for hair use:

Grapeseed Oil: good for moisture but not sealing, low protein

Almond Oil: good for penetrating scalp and skin to encourage growth, helps reduce itching

Once you know what your hair needs and what products to look for you might get overwhelmed when you go shopping for hair products, especially if you have to make a switch. Custom products can be expensive as well but if its something you are willing to do then go for it with the knowledge you know.

For product recommendations my inbox and DMs are open.

If you're heading the DIY product route, here are some ingredients to look into:

Rosemary: stimulates growth and helps reduce inflammation

Peppermint: stimulates growth and strengthens hair; reduces oil production if you have heavily oily hair

Lavender: helps to prevent infections and clogging while boosting circulation

Lemon: provides moisture while preventing itching; lemon juice helps with dandruff

Rose: helps to reduce and repair split ends; rose water promotes healthy scalp and increase shine

Tea Tree: helps reduce inflammation, promotes a healthy scalp and heal dandruff

Sage: combats dandruff and regulates oil production while boosting corculation

Coconut milk: helps repair damage, high in protein

Rice water: promotes growth and protects from damage but makes hair sensitive to heat so can do the opposite when heat is added so do not use if low porosity

Green tea: stimulates and cleanses scalp and promotes growth

Remember beauty does start from within. Regardless of your diet drink lots of water, try to be somewhat active, and take your vitamins. Your hair will thank you.

hi! i saw in your about post that you were a swimmer too and i just need advice 😭😭 i feel like the chlorine in the pool water is stunting my hair growth, do you have any hair recommendations like repairing / growth shampoos or conditioners?? thank you!

honestly i don't really have specific recommendations but here's some tips on what i do for my hair:

put oil in your hair before swimming. this make it so that less chlorine is absorbed by your hair. wetting your hair before getting in the pool is also really good.

once a week i massage my scalp & do a deep oiling treatment. i use a homemade oil that has rosemary and carrier oils which helps with growth, and scalp massaging promotes blood flow which then promotes hair growth.

moisturize! i use leave in conditioner and a lightweight oil on my mids and ends pretty much every night, and once a week i do a hair mask. chlorine tends to dry out hair badly which then leads to breakage, so it's important to make sure you're getting enough moisture.

clarifying shampoo once a week. clarifying shampoo is good for if you use products, and it helps get any remaining chlorine out of your hair. don't overuse it though cuz that'll dry out your hair.

shampoo should meet scalp needs. if you have an oily scalp and dry ends (me!) you need a shampoo that deals with the oily scalp.

conditioner should meet your hair needs.

i really recommend making homemade rosemary oil (there's lots of tutorials on youtube) and doing scalp massages for growth. then get a shampoo that meets your scalp needs and a conditioner that meets the needs of your hair. after your shower use leave in conditioner and have a lightweight oil to put a little on the ends of your hair every night.

right now i don't like my shampoo or conditioner so i'm probably not going to repurchase those but i do recommend the nexxus clarifying shampoo, eva nyc satin dream leave in conditioner cream, verb ghost oil and the eva nyc therapy session mask also a boar bristle hair brush because it's made my hair a lot softer and my friends say the same thing when they use it.

i really hope this helps :)
