Which mainly serves to say for both of us: WTF makeup industry?
EYE MAKEUP WITH PEANUT PROTEIN IN IT
Okay I knew about wheat protein in eye make up but PEANUT?!
MOOD
I’d really like to know why there’s gluten in shampoo. I don’t have celiac but I do end up with a ton of shampoo in my mouth.
Wheat protein is a common ingredient in a ton of cosmetics. In shampoos it can be part as a thickening component (you will find wheat or wheat by product in a lot of thickening and volume shampoos for this reason) but primarily it’s used in its
hydrolyzed form as
emulsifiers and stabilizers which make the products more shelf stable and effective.
It’s also one of the main ways vitamin E oil is manufactured, which a lot of folk don’t realize, including some doctors who will tell you to use vitamin E oil for your allergy related hives, only for you to later find out you’ve been slathering your allergy onto your allergy related hives. So that’s always fun.
This is me with sunscreen, unfortunately. I’m allergic to something in chemical sunscreen, and for years I had no idea.
A lot of makeup has sunscreen in it. Many times, they don’t tell you this. So here’s what I learned the (very) hard way: if makeup says it’s “anti-aging”? That’s code for “sunscreen”.
Wait hold up I respect everyone in this thread but nobody is going to question the fact someone in it said they end up with a lot of shampoo in their mouth?????
Not really *shrug*. There’s any multitude of reasons someone could end up with shampoo in their mouth, ranging from mobility issues to just plain sleep inertia and winding up with a mouthful of suds cause you yawned at the wrong moment lol.
Also @shofie-irl thank you for that heads up about the anti-aging creams. I developed a new allergy to chemical sunscreens last year that put me in the ER so that’s good to know!
So I tried going to bed at a reasonable hour and now it’s 2AM and I am very much A W A K E so I’m gonna be productive and set up things so I can have a real breakfast before therapy tomorrow.
I am feeling the fuck out of this except replace productivity with anxiety and bam we are basically twins
As someone that’s lived with anxiety since early childhood:
Choosing to Do A Productive is the most reliable way to kick an anxiety attack I’ve found yet.
It’s a pain in the ass to develop this habit (Goodness knows I fail at it all the time) and it requires having A Productive you can feasibly do at 4AM (vaccuming is right out) but if you can do SOMETHING it consumes enough focus that anxiety fit is relegated to the back burner where it chokes like a candle without air.
Potential Productives To Do In The Wee Hours Of The Morning When Everything Is Too Much:
set things up for future you to have a nice breakfast
actually just have breakfast right now, you’re probably hungry
gather at least some of the trash into bags and put them by the door to take out.
If it is safe to do so, actually take out the trash
Water your plants. They don’t care that it’s nighttime. They thorsty.
Clean you pet’s food and water bowls
An Shower.
Change your sheets
Take everything out of your backpack/Purse/carryall, throw out the trash and at least shake out the accumulated cumbs and crud.
Do a load of laundry
if u don’t have laundry, take the covers off your sofa and launder those. they need it and you’ll like having a nice-smelling couch.
Answer An Email
Do Some dishes. Maybe not all of them if they’ve been piling up, but some.
Consume A Vegetable
Check your snail mail.
anything you’d be thrilled to wake up and find out had been done in the night for you by gnomes? go do that thing. Future You will be so happy.
This post has been trending in my notes again, so here it is for anyone else who might need it.
Fun fact: if you know your feline body language, you’ll notice that the lynx is deferring to the housecat. As far as these two are concerned, the housecat is the higher-ranking cat.
In Austria, we call kittens at that age “Autodromkatzerl”, which translates to “bumper car kittens”, because of the way their tail sticks up. It’s not a really common word, but a very cute one, I think
this is a genuinely delightful bit of knowledge, thank you for sharing this!! omg
