Wick dipper and soot

Hey candle lovers, would like some advice here.
I’ve been putting out my candles using the wick dipper method but instead of an actual wick dipper I use a paper clip. Anywyas, I find that when I do this method, the wax gets all black and sooty, am I doing it correct or is this just how it is?
I’m burning a bath and body works candle and I trim the wick. Thanks!

Increasing rise of racist ideology

I want to start off by saying I'm aware that social media highlights the most extreme views and broadcasts it on our feeds and this does not reflect the entirety of real life.

That being said, the comments are very much individual people with real opinions and ideologies.

I've been seeing an increased disgusting rise in racism towards primarily Indians and Black people. I was wondering if anyone can pitch in to their thoughts and discussion.

Why I'm asking is because as a Chinese who is in an interracial relationship, I'm not sure if traveling with somebody who has a darker complexion to China is safe for both them and for me.

There are a lof of nasty comments online (not sure about in real life because I don't reside in China) about how interracial relationships (primarily non-white) is seen as being traitorous towards the Chinese identity and honestly a lot of threats.

Sorry for the negative tone of this reddit post.

UTI left chronic issue

More than a year ago, I started getting recurrent UTIs, and the strain was E.coli. I believe I was put on medication like 3-4 times within the year and every time after sexual activities the UTI would come back.
I have been abstinent for about a year due to fear of another UTI, however my bladder/urethra has been in discomfort ever since.

Symptoms are:
- inflamed feeling in bladder
- sensitivity and inflammation feeling in urethra
- sometimes frequent urination

I don’t have a UTI now and haven’t ever since my last time. And these symptoms come and go.

Anyone else?

balms and liquids

I recently did my base with the Shiseido syncro foundation (old package) with florasis balm concealer and out-of-office liquid highlighter. I applied the liquid highlighter after the balm concealer and that make my skin really cakey. I was wondering if liquids should be applied before balms or if they do not mix, thanks.
