Plastic Free Toiletries

Hey everyone!

I am currently working through my packing behavior to be more minimalist and also plastic free, everytime I travel I am really overwhelmed by buying a bunch of travel sized items of things I already own or refilling and cleaning little plastic tubes to transfer my toiletries. Eventually they just fly around in my drawer as I only travel occasionally, or they are all scratched up from cleaning so they need to be discarded.

What is your experience with complete plastic free toiletry packing? How do you manage this/what do you pack?

Paranoia Compulsion after Horror Movie?

I can’t find much on this compulsion online, so I am asking here to find people who may have this as well.

After watching a horror movie or encountering some kind of creepy content, even if I thoroughly enjoyed it, I always feel intense anxiety and paranoia usually onset a few days or a week after.
As a child I had a compulsion of not allowing people to speak to me from behind as soon as it was dark bc I thought that’d summon monsters and it made me super scared.
A similar feeling creeps up on me as an adult with this compulsion. I get visual intrusive thoughts, fear of hallucinating, I need to have lights on in every room and can only sit and sleep with my back protected otherwise I get the urge to check behind me or my peripheral vision every few seconds.

I know it exceeds a regular response to horror movies due to the delayed onset and it holding up for a month basically. It only gets retriggered if I hear the movie’s name again.

Does anyone have had a similar experience?

Edit: Further info because this reads as if I am overpathologizing something normal. I am diagnosed with OCD and have had it since I was 3 years old.

Trying out new frames

Hello!

I have worn quite a few glasses in my lifetime and recently tried out some new frames. No idea what suits me or what’s a no-go.

Advice greatly appreciated!

Edit: WOW! I absolutely did not expect so many people to comment on here! Thanks for all your opinions (except some of those rude ones grrr). I made up a spreadsheet of everyone's choices and also advice outside of the featured frames (#2 is a strong winner), with that I'll go back to my optometrist and check out some alternatives. Thanks again!

Tom, du gibst die falsche Nummer weiter!

Hallo,

seit einer Woche werde ich von einigen Menschen kontaktiert, die alle mit “Hallo Tom” grüßen, Nummern lokalisiert in Duisburg.

Lieber Tom, ich weiß nicht was fürn Zahlendreher du drin hast aber bitte korrigiere ihn. Dein Kumpel Clemens sucht dich, du hast wahrscheinlich deinen Cryptokurs bei Thorsten Koch verpasst und ich vermute, dass deine Bewerbung durchgegangen ist und man versucht dich zu erreichen.

Hoffentlich findet dich dieser Post..

Veganer Schwarzwälder Schinken?

Hallöchen!

Ich stelle meine Ernährung gerade auf vegan um und mein absoluter Lieblingsbrotbelag ist Schwarzwälder Schinken. Leider habe ich bisher keine vegane Alternative gefunden die dem gleich kommt (und auch schmeckt), aber muss auch zugeben mich noch nicht so gut auszukennen.

Hat hier jemand ein Rezept oder eine Produktempfehlung?

Danke :)

Huhu, wollte auch mal so ein Diagramm erstellen.

Bin Online-Stundentin und privilegiert genug im Elternhaus leben zu können. Muss außer dem ein oder anderen Einkauf nichts dazugeben, dafür kümmere ich mich um die Katzen (plus/minus Tierarztkosten) und den Haushalt/koche regelmäßig. Wir leben relativ sparsam. Hab die Tierfutterkosten wahrscheinlich falsch kalkuliert.

Auto hab ich keins, fahre Bus nur sporadisch und wenn ich laufen kann tu ichs.

Bafög bekomme ich keins, bin sehr dankbar um meinen Job der mir Flexibilität und Gehalt ermöglicht.

Spare monatlich um meine Semesterkosten abzudecken und im Notfall (Tierarzt/große Rechnung) selbst bezahlen oder aushelfen zu können.

Leider chronisch krank, daher die Medi-Kosten weil immer was anderes anfällt.

Trotz Privilegien bin ich finanziell echt rumgeschwommen bis sich das mal im letzten halben Jahr eingependelt hat.
