Natural hair (ginger/auburn)

(Green Envy) Manic Panic dye over natural hair

I don't want to bleach my hair or use chemical dyes as I'm pretty sensitive to chemicals/fragrance and want to avoid having a bad allergic reaction. I tried manic panic dye which didn't have any harsh chemical scents that trigger my allergies.

I would love to try dyeing my hair different colours with the colour wheel method once the green has faded a bit. Since I'm dyeing over my natural hair not bleached hair I'm not sure which colours will show up properly over my natural hair.

I'm planning on going from:

-Green Envy (current)

-Atomic Turquoise, Voodoo Blue or Mermaid

-Ultra Violet or Electric Amethyst

-Purple Haze or Deadly Nightshade

-Divine Wine or Fushia Shock

-Vampire Red or Infra Red

- Pillarbox Red or Wildfire

Would these colours work over my natural hair colour? I understand they won't be as vibrant a colour/don't mind a more muted colour intensity.

I love the taste of cinnamon and especially like chewing on the whole sticks. I really do prefer the taste/warm spicy kick of Cassia Cinnamon along with the thicker less splintery texture, compared to the mildly spicy somewhat floral/citrusy flavour and splintery texture of Ceylon Cinnamon.

I like eating the sticks as an alternative to chewing on candy and I find they help a bit with headaches/inflammation and especially with nausea/bloating. In my opinion the Cassia Cinnamon is even more efficient in it's anti inflammatory/nauseau relief effects compared to Ceylon Cinnamon after eating both.

I'm only considering switching to the Ceylon Cinnamon sticks because I'm worried about the higher coumarin content in Cassia Cinnamon, but the taste and effect just really isn't as good and it's way more expensive.

How much of Cassia Cinnamon sticks would you say are safe to eat daily/ every other day compared to say Ceylon Cinnamon?

Been lacto fermenting the organic Ginger from Costco. I ran out of ginger and decided to get regular ginger at a nearby grocery store.

The texture and taste difference was immediately noticeable.

The organic Ginger is super spicy with a hint of bitterness/earthy flavor. The texture is thick and fibrous to chew.

The non-organic Ginger was so watery in comparison. The texture is smoother and easier to chew. The flavor is more mild and less spicy.

I definitely prefer the taste of organic Ginger. It's so potent the flavor and I find fermentation adds even more sour salty kick to the flavour. Plus it seemed to get bubbly/ferment faster.

The non organic Ginger is so much more bland taste wise. Only the texture is nicer.

Generally for most of my life I have had an insane sweet tooth and gravitate towards super sweet sugary food.

I notice whenever I cut out processed sugary foods for an extended period of time my taste perception changes. Fruit tastes sweeter/ almost too sweet on its own. Oats/rice and other starchy foods taste better without having to add sugar/seasoning. (plain yogurt+fruit+plain oats+cocoa powder is like a treat)

Whenever I regularly incorporate probiotics/fermented foods I start craving more veggies/fruit, tofu and nuts. I start liking the flavor of onions/garlic even though I couldn't stand their taste beforehand (it would make me gag).

My gut can't handle digesting fibre too well and it sucks because I'm really starting to crave more healthy variety of foods but my gut can't seem to handle them too well. Plus I've been dealing with unknown environmental allergies and so some fruits/veggies have been triggering unpredictable Oral Allergy Symptoms.

Currently eating daily lacto fermented ginger as my main fermented food and it's kind of addictive how good it tastes. Plus it has some anti-inflammatory/allergy relief effects.

Really wanting to fix my microbiome after years of junk diet/antibiotic use. I'm hoping the healthy food cravings are a good sign.

I'm currently still working on the story/layout of my own game project but already had a couple ending ideas planned out.

One thing I always liked about some games is how many different unique endings or dead endings you can discover. It adds more reasons to replay the game to try and discover a different ending, makes it feel like your choices/decisions matter and makes your first playthrough feel even more special.

I'm curious for those of you who already have your story planned out already... how many endings did you guys choose for your game? Are they bad, neutral, or good endings? Did you choose to add premature dead endings? And if you did decide to go with multiple different endings for your game why did you choose your number of endings?

I've been eating raw ginger regularly as it helps with nausea/stomach ache and I found it also helps a bit with the overall inflamed feeling I get throughout my body/gut as well as clearing out my throat and sinuses.

Do you guys find there are other over the counter supplements/foods that you take along with allergy meds that help manage inflammation/allergy symptoms?

I notice whenever I haven't eaten for a while, am eating lower calories or when my diet is too low in carbs, my sweat smells almost fruity with a slight chemically nail polish cleaner scent.

I'm wondering if my body using ketones as fuel during these times is what is causing this fruity scent.

I've had really bad digestive issues since I was a teen including a lot of food intolerances, since then I have had a very limited diet. I suspect part of the issue is due to having to take antibiotics for reoccurring ear infections over the years, along with having chronic anxiety/stress has wreaked my gut microbiome.

I recently started trying to incorporate daily probiotics, then I tried lacto-fermented ginger along with milk kefir.

I didn't notice any big positive changes after taking probiotic pills...

But after taking lacto fermented ginger or milk kefir, I had this warm tingly sensation in my brain and body. I felt kind of spacey, but also calm and relaxed. The effect didn't last long, but it was nice while it lasted.

I'm just wondering why fermented foods might have this effect but not probiotics?

Can cinnamon or ginger be used as antifungal? If so how potent?

I started taking them for their anti-inflammatory properties but I'm wondering if they would have a meaningful effect on Candida.

Also is there any other food/ spices that are anti-inflammatory as well as antifungal?

I took around 3 tablespoons spaced out a couple of hours apart. I was feeling fine after the first one or two. Now my stomach is starting to churn and bloat, and the extreme nausea and flushing is kicking in. Regretting my choice to take more than one spoonful. How bad is it going to be?

I've tried so many fragrance free conditioners/shampoos, and they still smell and make my face itchy, red or burn.

I'm in full allergy flare mode right now (my inner ears, sinuses and throat have been super swollen and itchy for over 2 months now) and my body can't handle anything scented, even the products that I used to tolerate.

I'm currently using a mix of glycerin, unscented castile soap, Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash (fragrance free), instead of shampoo.

And instead of conditioner I just use coconut oil for hair dryness.

I've already wasted so much money on fragrance free products that aren't actually scent free.

I have a lot of ear pain in my left ear (along with vertigo and tinnitus) that started this late spring that I suspect is caused by allergies of some sort.

I take extra antihistamines and advil every day this summer, as well as using nasal spray, and they barely bring down the pain, inflammation and itchiness.

Using those neti pot/ nasal rinses and tilting my head where the rinse is going towards my left ear, it feels like it's scratching that itchiness that I can't reach in my ears. It sucks that the relief is short and temporary.

Ribbit had good intentions by trying to reach out to Jax and try to get him to be more open with her. But Jax was not in the right headspace or willing to open up without outside pressure. Ribbit kept asking Jax to open up, even when he originally made it clear it wasn't something he was comfortable with. It would have been better to give him the space to come to her when he was clearly ready to open up on his own terms.

I think the finale shows the dangers of trying to get someone who's in the closet/repressed to open up before they are ready. People who are struggling with internalized homophobia/transphobia are not going to be immediately receptive to being openly gay/trans just because they have accepting friends/community. Often they have trauma growing up that led to them hiding that part of themselves to try and keep themselves safe. They need time to work through that internalized phobia until they are mentally ready to open up to others or be honest with themselves. You can't get someone to leave the closet if they aren't ready to. And if you force them out before they aren't ready, it can have dangerous consequences.

I see this happen in real life, where people will try and crack a closeted trans persons egg before they are ready, or speculate/ make theories about a person's sexuality when they haven't been public about it. While often well intentioned, it often leads to the person feeling cornered. This could lead them to go further into the closet or to lash out at others in the community for fear of being exposed to other people as being gay/trans.

I think Jax's reaction after the talk with Ribbit was a perfect example of this. He was not ready to be open/honest about his identity and since Ribbit was the only one who knew about their conversation, it lead to him pushing Ribbit away because he feared she would expose that hidden side of himself to others.

Ordered an unscented natural moisturizing cream from Amazon due to having really bad fragrance allergies as well as strong chemical sensitivity. Product had lots of good reviews and people mentioned it was really good for those with sensitive skin/allergies and didn't have any scent. It didn't list fragrance in the ingredients either.

I tried applying a tiny dot on my hand and cheek and within a few minutes my nose and face were itchy red and burning. I washed the product off immediately but my sinuses, inner ears, and throat became swollen and painful quickly shortly after. I took extra strength Benadryl and am waiting it out to see if the Benadryl will be enough to calm the reaction.

Just thought to warn others since, amazon doesn't seem to let me post a negative review about an allergic reaction to the product. My allergic reaction was similar to the allergic reaction I have to fragrances so I question if they are fully being truthful of containing no fragrance or chemicals in their moisturizer.

The moisturizer in question: Tallow Moisturizing Cream
