The Gilliam Don Quixote thing has been going on for decades now. The last time I have heard of of it was a few (10?) years back, when a storm or hurricane washed away the whole set, and Depp went to raise money for the Don Quixote thing, aka Pirates of the Carribean. Somehow, the universe does not want this movie to…

My look atm. I get comments on how tired I look, and I shrug and say: "Two to three weeks until I hand in my thesis. How else am I supposed to look? " And they nod. It feels glorious, not to give a shit about makeup for a few weeks. And not to hear shit about the way i look, too.

Did you know that when the queen buys new shoes, she has someone who walks them in for her? I kid you not, it is a honorable job apparently.

No antioxidants means that the lipids will go off at one point. Which is smelly. Jojoba oil has naturally antioxidants. No need to be scared from antioxidants, most of the time it is Vitamin E only anyway.

Try nubian heritage soaps and shea butter, OR desert essence tea tree oil cleanser and jojoba oil. Kills acne bacteria like a charm. No matter what age. Jojoba oil is also good if you already have scars.

Lucas pawpaw remedy? they have special lip balm, and it is a life (or lip) saver.

Try Gellish? I bought a small pack with UV lamp after getting it done became too expensive, and not only do I have pretty and shiny nails now, the stuff does not chip for a week, and my nails stopped breaking, too.

Try tea tree oil and/ or jojoba oil to kill acne zits for good. Jojoba starves and kills the bacteria that make acne. And I looooove my tea tree oil pads, shit is saving my skin from scarring (I am 37, so...)

Eyelash extensions. I have not bothered with mascara ever since.

If you are nervous about coconut, use jojoba oil instead.

NZ style is bold lips and bold brows. Faint line around eyes (if any), and a dash of rouge.

I would add all the ongoing costs on that, too, because the eastern German parts are still economically, educationally and structurally munted, and in dire need of repairs ever since the 1990, too. Not to mention the racism that boils up every few years in those parts. Western Germany still pay for the repairs, and…

My prof explained it to me like that: Elderly eat slowly, be it to ensure they do not drip onto their clothes, or be it because of teeth, or be it because they have time. They should eat their main meal before the soup, to get enough nutrients. This means that once they finally get to the soup, It is cold, if it was…

Americans have a problem with bodies. On one hand, they demand to see them (from women), photoshop them when they look too average, shame people for willingly showing them, complain to the FCC when they see too much male nakedness, shame people when they see naked bodyparts in a non-sexual way, or non-average body…

Hey, I just listened to a (german) podcast about nude trampers. Yes, naked people in trekking shoes, walking in groups through the forest, with GPS and backpacks. All back to nature. No laws are against it. Germany: if there is no law that explicitly forbids it, we do it.

Scientist here, and I am religious. One can exist and believe in both. I marvel at the beauty of what is, and the intricate design and the knowledge of all that can go wrong and yet we still exist.

YES! I say it is clostridium bolteae, that asshole. The clostridia family is very big, and some of those produce impressive neurotoxins. Some of them are good, too, and modulate allergies. But hell, I would really want to look deeper into the bolteae one, especially since it has been linked with autism for a few times…

Mumps, extreme mumps for all. Let us see how the anti-vaxxers feel once their testicles are swollen as big as oranges, or other glands.

It also does not work for very small people, or very tall people, independent of their weight.

And I thought my aunts dog who was a Wiener/German shepherd looked funny, because he had the head and tail of the shepherd, and the wieners short body....
Now for some mental imaging: who was the mom? Did the pitbull kneel to hump the weiner, or did the wiener climb the pitbull? So many questions....
