Garlic applied overnight works soooo good on pimples! It usually keeps the pimples away for 2 or 3 weeks the only con is the smell.
Banana facial is a great antibacterial and gives...

I needed to tell you that you give me SOO much hope. The way you talk about how the LGBTQ community is just like everyone else and deserves the same rights really makes me smile. I know we have straight allies, but you sound so passionate when you say it. You are standing up for people when you don't have to. And you sound so sincere. People support me, but...

teenytinythighs asked: For the person with the keloids, I have three keloids as well. One on each knee and a third on my elbow. When I first got them I was really freaked out that everyone would be grossed out by them but now I just tell people plain and simple that they're just scars. Usually people ask if there's a story behind them but no one is ever repulsed. And if you meet anyone genuinely turned off by...

recklessraindrop replied to your post: Random ramblings about how weight relates to my… That’s easy to say when you below a size 10. My friends are always saying it’s hard to find clothes that fit because they’re too big. Well it’s hard for me to find clothes because I’m around a size 18/20, so it’s always too small for me. It sucks. It’s kind of unfair to say that it’s...

Anonymous asked: I just read that someone's definition of true love is putting another person's happiness ahead of theirs and I have to say that that's where relationships go wrong. Your happiness is just as important as your lovers and should always be put ahead because if you're happy it's easier to make others happy. It's the same thing as having to love yourself before you can...

rosasempervirens-deactivated201 asked: A while back a girl asked about her hair falling out. As I comb out all this pomade I had a thought. Using a lot of product in your hair can cause it to fall out too. Of course, you should still talk to your doctor, but cutting back on cremes and sprays helps a bunch.

I'm not my biggest fan and I'm not one to give or receive love. Could I be fabricating these feelings? Am I just throwing friendly gestures out of proportion?
