To the anon about skin rubbing :) i use loose silk powder it's amazing, doesn't stain very soft and feels very light like you don't have anything on your skin. In Australia it's called loose corn silk powder.
This is the last of the chafing stuff I’m publishing, guys. Thanks for the tips for the anon, but I can’t make this a blog about chafing tips! lol
Throwing in my two cents, re: chaffing. I use a lotion based deodorant (ie: Dove) so I also rub a bit of that on my thighs in the morning if I'm going to wear a skirt or dress. Similar to what it does for your armpits: it works all day, AND it's a product that I already use. No need to buy anything else.
Girlfriend Challenge - Day 19
A special memory?
It was nearly impossible to narrow this down to one, but I’d have to go with when we visited Disneyland back in March. Risa and I both hold a special place in our hearts for all things Disney, so it was incredible to be able to share something I love with someone I love. Not to mention, I’d never been (I’d only ever been to Walt Disney World in Orlando, naturally), so there was an added degree of novelty for me.
We spent the whole day exploring, riding rides, and generally having a blast. This excluding a scant few panic-inducing minutes spent on California Screamin’ (I’m TERRIFIED of rollercoasters), but that’s neither here nor there.
Disney’s always going to be special to us, and I can’t wait for the two of us to explore Walt Disney World together in December and make even more memories.
I loved that trip, too! And I can’t wait to go to Disney World with you after the Color Run in December. ^^ (Assuming registration ever opens. Grrr….)
To the anon with chafing: I have the same issue, and I found that what works best for me is a product called Body Glide Anti Chafe. :)
And there ya go. :)
Hi Risa, So I have this issue with the skin between my legs rubbing. It gets so raw that it hurts to walk, sit and basically do much of anything. I have tried numerous products like baby powder and corn starch to name a few, but I am looking for something that I can use that won't rub off or stain clothes. I also tried wearing bicycle shorts or something similar but I find it pinches throughout the day and is very uncomfortable. Any suggestions?
Hm. I rarely get this problem, actually. The way I walk and the way I’m built, chafing is only a problem when I wear tight stockings. (Which isn’t frequent.) When I do, though, I have a soft, cotton pair of fitted (but not tight) shorts that I wear with ‘em. Helps a lot. Maybe try some different shorts? Or perhaps cut a pair of yoga pants or leggings to the length you need. I’m not really an expert in this field, though.
I think it's pretty vain of you that you have a bunch of gifs of you. What? regular ones aren't good enough for you or something?
…dude…
Sometimes you just can’t find the gif with the reaction you need. So you make one. But I happen to have a bunch of reaction gifs for this ask already prepared.
You’re a dick. Gtf off my blog.
IS THAT A COMMUNITY PRINT I SEE IN THE BACKGROUND? I need help reacting to this.
I'm struggling. Badly. I've had to force myself to eat today. Sadly, all I've had is a bowl of cereal, poptarts, and a bit of cheddar broccoli pasta. I feel sick. I literally feel as if I am going to throw up. I don't want to live like this anymore. What do I do?
Well, one of the reasons you feel sick is because all you had is carbs. Your body needs proteins, vitamins, etc. to survive. You need some fruit, some veggies, and some dairy in there with all those carbs! The second problem is that you’re not eating enough. Eating disorders are very rough because once you’re at the point where you desperately need food, it’s the point where you least want to eat it. You have to trust that when you eat the right foods, healthy and fresh foods full of vitamins and nutrients, you will start to feel right again.
I highly recommend you speak to a doctor, counselor, parent, or other trusted professional about your ED very soon so you can work on recovering. Here’s the info for the National Eating Disorder Association. They can help you much better than I can.

you're awesome for editing source urls. that's like the tumblr way of identifying good people, like on that insurance commercial. i would totally buy your insurance.
do you have any piercings or tattoos? if so, where
Just two piercings in each earlobe. Guess I’m just boring.
I just saw the picture of the mandarin crispy chick'n that you posted. How do you feel about foods like that? I have a Hungry Girl cookbook that calls for "meatless meat" in many of the recipes, but the carnivore in me says no. Are they tasty? Do they have a funny texture? Do you recommend them?
I tried one once and did not care for it at all. But I haven’t tried the other kinds because it’s just too darn pricey for my wallet. That’s of the one brand, though. I like Morning Star’s meatless stuff. Especially their chik patties. Tasty tasty!

stop saying i can’t even and start saying i can even

no, it’s a lawn mower following its dreams
is it normal when you're in a serious relationship to have sex? my friends all make me feel guilty because i enjoy being with my boyfriend
Having sex is normal and healthy in a serious relationship, but it’s not essential. There are tons of happy couples who abstain for various reasons. Either or, both are equally acceptable and appropriate. It’s all about what’s right for you. Your friends may be upset because you spend too much time with your boyfriend. A lot of younger people will get into a relationship and suddenly be with their significant other constantly, more than they ever were with their friends. This can really strain friendships without either member of the romantic couple ever realizing. I’ve seen it happen countless times. Just make a conscious effort to give your friends some just-friends time away from the bf on a regular basis. Learn to take turns in each world and when to blend them. It’s all about balance.
Boyfriend Challenge - Day 19
A special memory?
Any memory with Mitch is special to me. It’s hard to pick just one. I guess one of the moments that really shines in my mind was when I pulled up to the airport and saw him standing there waiting for me with a smile. We held hands the whole drive back, kissing at every stoplight. I can’t wait to pick him up again a week from today.
how many blogs are you currently following? and what type of blogs catch your interest?
588. I can be rather picky with what I follow. I follow fitness/weight loss blogs that don’t post a lot of bodies, I follow blogs that make me laugh, and I follow blogs that are relevant to my interests, like Doctor Who, crochet, Archer, cupcakes, etc.
I have a TMI. Please describe in detail the most disgusting infection you have ever had.
I’ve never really had an infection the way you’re probably asking about. I have had a zillion sinus infections, though. The worst of them gave me a fever of 104+ for two weeks, no sleep, too weak to stand on my own, no appetite, and sweating 24/7. I started getting hallucinations, and it was just a mental hell. The doctor we were using at the time had put me on the wrong meds, so it took me longer than normal to get better. We hate that doctor. We don’t go to him anymore for many reasons.
do you want children?
Ever since I was a child. But I’m not ready yet. Need to be financially stable and whatnot.
Would you ever have professional nude photos taken to give to a significant other?
I would pose for professional nude photos for the sake of art, but not for sexual purposes.

What are your favorite toppings on pizza? Your favorite band? And...did you know how adorable your GIFs are?! And yes, that last one is NOT a rhetorical question.
I’m not allowed to eat pizza anymore. :( I can have like… maybe half a slice, depending on the kind, without getting sick. I miss it, but it’s for my own good. My favorite toppings are mushrooms, pepperoni, basil, and ricotta. Mmmm.
Don’t really have a favorite band… I’m bad with the favorites thing. lol I’m kind of a little-bit-of-everything type of person.
As for the gifs, thank you. <3 I only know cuz people like you tell me. hehehe!
When people reblog your TMI Tuesday request, but your inbox stays empty:
i have a question but its not a tmi :( sorry! but today i ate A LOT and mostly fruits/veggies but they add up, so on myfitnesspal i have like 2 calories left. i ate dinner a few hours ago and im hungry now but i have no room to eat, i cant help it though i'm getting my period soon and i always have days where i'm constantly empty, today was one of those. i tried to fill up on low-cal items but i ate a lot of them. should i eat and go over calories or just wait until tomorrow??
First, try drinking a full glass of water or decaffeinated tea to fill up. Then brush your teeth. Give yourself about an hour to see if it’s helped. If not, go for it and have a light and healthy snack. Remember: the mark you’re hitting in your tracking is deficit of a few hundred calories. Going 30 calories over for some strawberries, or 100 calories for a banana, or something like that really doesn’t make much of a difference in the long run. Heck, you could hit your maintenance calories today, and it wouldn’t make a notable difference in your overall progress. Don’t sweat it. If you gotta eat, you gotta eat. Just make it healthy.
I'm actually only following 67 blogs. ( ◉ . ◉")~
If you are a blog that promotes healthy living/weight loss/recovery and
- you make personal posts
- don’t reblog the same motivational shit over and over
- and have a nicely organised blog
reblog this so I can follow you. :3
