Looking for good powder+ primer + eyeliner combo for hot humid weather

Looking for best combo for this southern heat. I am a gel liner girl and cannot stand the pens tbh and just don’t know how to make it look good + seemingly everytime I give one a chance it comes dried out. I do pretty heavy black on my bottom water line and a wing, but it just almost immediately melts off. I’m looking for some combo thats affordable but durable. I have semi hooded like almond shaped eyes so a lot of times my eyeliner just comes out being rubbed on by my eyelid and I need to figure out a new method of how to do it but hopefully this will help.

Giving up cigarettes and coffee cured my odor problems

This sucks because I love them both but it had to happen. not to mention they both give you terrible breath. for the longest time I’ve just dealt with my period blood smelling like rotting meat + cheese and I quit smoking and stopped drinking coffee and it’s gone and just smells like blood. I would also frequently get like a nasty dairy smelling discharge despite doing everything else to keep my ph in check. I also know it was affecting me a lot because whenever I’d do boric acid suppositories the smell would be like a really strong scent of basically what a mouth that just smoked a cigarettes smells like+ burning rubber maybe? my discharge now smells so neutral all the time. if you have constant odor problems it may be time to accept giving up coffee and see how that goes. I’m also very much someone who loves to eat cheese and I realized that also would give me that smell. coffee creamer is a no go. Also anytime I eat onions my discharge (no not my sweat there’s a very obvious distinction) smells exactly like onions sautéed in butter for a few days. It’s like my vagina is more susceptible to smelling like whatever I eat/I cleanse food particles out that way slightly??? Idfk. Cause my sweat doesn’t smell like what I eat. it’s just my discharge.

I have been exposed to so much lead & mold in the last year that I can’t keep myself from talking to other versions of myself in public spaces. Haven’t had a single friend that isn’t a cat since quarantine. Banana cake I made for my own birthday.

My church has very clearly lost respect for me upon learning my daughter is trans. Seeking advice/opinions.

This is somewhat of a vent and somewhat looking for advice/opinions. I’ve recently moved to a small town and joined a church and became good friends with many folks in this church. specifically our pastor and his family, and they have been very welcoming and friendly to me up until recently and I believe it is because I confided in someone in my church and told them that my daughter is trans. (says she is non gender conforming i don’t really understand it, but does not go by she).

I agreed to myself when she was born it would be a cold day in hell when I did not love her unconditionally, and I have followed through with that despite obviously being hurt and disappointed with what she has become/gotten into. I have tried my hardest to understand her while still knowing at the end of the day she has strewn from god and I want her to one day find her way home; but in no way will I be disowning her or separating myself from her just because of this turmoil.

I confided with a friend about this and how I still love and support her, in an area where people tend to disown their children for this sort of thing and many people around me have fallen for the recent rhetoric of these sort of people being inherently violent or predators or being part of some organized violent hate group. I have witnessed Christians alike around me prioritize this rhetoric over objectively worse things happening all around us that are undisputed facts And it hurts. I obviously don’t respect or affirm her in that aspect, but I try to work my way around it because god taught me to hate the sin not the sinner, and i try to keep the love I and god share for her included in that despite it all. She still lives with me (she’s 18) and people have seen her, she’s not on hormones or anything but has told me she plans on it.

I know my daughter and I know the friends she has that are also in this predicament. to witness people around me genuinely believe these people I know to be good hearted well meaning people are inherently predators etcetera has made me so angry I don’t know my place in the church anymore. Or my place among other christians who have gone so far into propaganda that they truly are letting it deeply harm the lives of other people by spreading misinformation in the name of god. And I know no other churches in my area would be different unless she is saved Very soon. It’s a matter of me and my parenting I guess in their eyes. people have stopped speaking to me because they have obviously Gossiped about it. we‘ve had formerly dangerous people who sinned in unspeakable ways be accepted by this church and be saved, but they draw the line at me unconditionally loving My child. I’m losing friends I really trusted and it’s just breaking my heart. I come from a background with a lot of accepting churches that are open to this sort of thing, and am now in an area that absolutely does not unless they are actively saved and converting. and I just don’t think I belong here.

I forgot my vpn was still on after gooning im ngl and i went to go check my order status and it wouldn’t let me in said something about JavaScript being off and now won’t let me log in on the app. i did that on browser cause I typically don’t have eBay downloaded because I have low storage. I immediately turned the vpn off and deleted the vpn app. I didn’t order anything with it on and have never opened eBay with an vpn on before today, I just went to go check my order status. I ordered something this week that didn’t get shipped yet if my account is banned what will happen to those orders? I can’t remember if I ever changed the phone number verification to my new one after my old number got stolen by scammers.
