I think the BB creams are better than regular foundation these days.  I only use bronzer, sans sparkle, for blush.

Definitely invest in a decent eyelash curler, if you're going to do that... I think Shiseido had the best when I did that homework.

Thanks for the cbd oil tutorial, TUPP!

Hops: I agree with you on the German Monographs; they're the bible actually for basic info. There is another source I'm now using who cites all the scientific knowledge associated with the usage of whole herbs vs extracted supplements.... so, teas and tinctures, infusions and decoctions. Author is Stephen Harrod Buhner. One book is natural antibiotics and the other anti-virals. It's important not to mix the two up.

I'm researching options for Buck's resistant infection, and will dry him some mugwort and make a tincture. Steve is making tinctures of healthy mushrooms, so a handy resource for practical how tos. To catalyze the mugwort for even more dynamic clearing of the infection, author recommends Echineacea ANNUA, not Purpura - based on the long-term German results - for systemic infections. The purpura is fine for colds and such.

Yes, Sambucol works pretty well for me too. It's pretty easy to make if you have the berries growing around you. I'm glad the curcumin is helping Lighter. I take it in rotations - weeks, even months off - in an experiment to see if I can train my body chemistry to an inherent balance, instead of making it dependent on external support. It's about time to take it again. But I've been off for a solid month now... and the hands are still clearish.

Other than that, I've found a good daily vitamin I take and occasionally add more potassium or magnesium, and that's it. Also, consciously eating fewer carbs and more proteins and good fats for the keto effect. I find I absolutely need a higher amount of carbs than many people or I have no energy at all. So I try to keep that in balance.

From the time I was the most stressed, caring for Mike till 4 years later... I've dropped 30 pounds and a whole pants size. A lot of that is just me being more active than 4-5 years ago; but I'm also sure a lot of it was the effect of cortisol generated by stress. My stamina and strength are still needing some development, but I'm taking that in baby steps and making some solid progress.

Meh:
After years of not wearing beauty products I picked up some Neutrogena mascara, Beyu eyeliner and eye-shadow. Makeup up isn't important I know that is why I don't bother with it. It's just there is messaging that says looking good and self care is good for us. Anypooh it made my eyes and eyelids burn when I went to wash it off, I guess my skin is just too freaking sensitive. Plus putting makeup on sort of forces me to notice what is wrong with my face. Not wearing makeup allows me to sort of ignore my imperfections. I don't know. I guess I am returning it as the store has a return policy of return it for any reason if it doesn't work out. I gave up on makeup products a long time ago. All of the ingredients are unregulated I guess, claims are untested.

Hopalong:
G--
I'll bet my right arm that if you turn that glorious artist sensibility of yours inward, you'll see that you are BEAUTIFUL and your imperfections are UNIQUE and part of that beauty.

I don't buy conventional beauty standards. They just piss me off.

Hugs

Hey, Tupp.  Aside from baking soda for teeth, turning an acid to a base, I also use MI Paste to harden enamel while I sleep.  I brush, floss, then brush a bit again..... then apply the white MI Paste, just a little bit in areas I know need attention, and it helps.  I think you can order it on Amazon.  I'm not perfectly consistent with this, mind you.

::shaking head::.

 Also, Clinpro 5000 anti-cavity toothpaste is something I've used in the past.  I'm back on the MI Paste, bc I'm out of the Clinpro.
