I feel bad for my cousin-in-law who is from a Muslim family

My cousin is a Catholic. He married my cousin-in-law who hails from a Muslim family.

When they got married, her family disowned her. Not one member of her family attended her wedding. All of them used to be so close. But religion and their beliefs came in the way.

Right now, she just had her baby. And a few days ago, her grandfather passed away.

She is so depressed now because she can't even visit her granddad's wake. Her family won't let her.

I say, fuck them! We're her family now. And we love her.

La Tributa to Santa Muerte

I based this ritual from my friend's instructions.

​

A clay pot with an image of a skull, 7 white roses, and 7 coins. Offered to Santa Muerte in a cemetery.

​

I prayed a whole novena for her and prayed for my petitions to her.

​

Never have I felt this calm to be all alone in a cemetery. I have work so I got out at 5pm. Drove to the cemetery where my relatives are buried. I got here at around 6.30pm and finished at around 7pm.

​

I hope everything goes well.

7 months on Oral Minox

I hate applying liquid minox on my face. It dries out my skin and it takes a while to dry on my face.

​

So, I decided to take oral minox instead. I read posts here stating they got great results with oral minox.

​

I take 10mg now. I started with 5mg and gradually moved to 10mg.

​

In the seven months of taking oral minox, the only things I noticed are the following:

​

a. Hair shed on the scalp at around 3 months.

b. Nose hairs got thicker.

c. Ear hairs got longer and thicker but not to the point of them becoming noticeable when people look at me (I noticed this because I use those ear wax removers with a camera in it).

d. My arm hairs got longer.

e. Vellus hairs on my face got more noticeable but doesn't progress beyond being vellus hairs.

f. Same with (e) but on my chest and belly area.

g. No progress on my beard at all.

h. Noticed extremely thick scalp hair.

​

With this, all I can say is that topical minox sure is the best option when trying to grow a beard. The results I'm seeing on 7 months oral minox is the same thing I noticed on my 1st month of topical minox.

​

I'm sure I will get better results if I also use topical on top of the oral, but I'm just too lazy to use it again daily. But alas, I know I have to put up with it if I really want to see some gains.

I just finished praying a Novena for Mama using my mini portable Altar

I made this mini portable altar so I can bring it with me everywhere.

I made the rosary myself. Although I wish I could find a small Santa Muerte pendant to go with the rosary instead of a mini cross.

As for the image, I am afraid to say that I generated that image on Canva's AI. So, I apologize. I then printed it out and turned it into a sticker.

I posted a second photo so you guys can see how small it looks like next to a regular paper clip.

I also placed a tiny Mentos candy for Mama as well.

I'm still thinking of other things I can add to the altar. I make candles myself, so I am planning to make a teeny tiny candle to add as well.

I made this candle for Santa Muerte

I tried to make another candle for Mamita.

I also placed a clear sticker with her image but it's not showing much because the candle wax is also black.

I have failed in doing this before because I was using the wrong wick. I always end up throwing some melted wax just for it to burn properly. This time, I managed to make it work by using a thicker wick. No wasted wax this time.

I devote this candle and the other ones I made for Santa Muerte, for Mamita.

I love her to bits!
