This is going to sound like a load of hogwash, but it worked for me: cross-stitch and crochet. It was almost like a kind of therapy, forcing me to concentrate on a small thing and in creating things. I've even sold a bunch but now I give them away to family and friends.

Growing veg: start with growing herbs like basil and oregano, you can use them for cokking and they'll grow inside all year. They're fairly easy to care for too

Cooking: definitely start with youtube, where you can pause, follow along and ensure your food is looking right along every step. I personally like "Food Wishes" and "Tutti a Tavola". The latter is in italian, but it's easy enough to follow just the images without audio.

Tips for cooking: watch the whole video for what you want to make a couple of times (2/3) and make an ingredient list. Watch the video again. Make sure you have all ingredients and tools. Make sure your ingredients are like they show in the video (pre-chopped, washed, etc). Watch the video one last time and get cooking!

Books are extremely good sources but I'd wait until you have the basics down, or get a book with step-by-step pictures, until you have a good grasp on most techniques and ingredients you'll want to use. For me, books meant for getting older children to cook (10-12) were a great step, as they have pictures and deal with only simpler techniques. This one is great

I have made nearly every recipe and keep coming back to it, even though I'm now more of an intermediate cook. The recipes are easy and tasty, and the pictures are very helpful

Hahahaha we can do this, together <3

But seriously so here is my process:

  • Shower, Shampoo/Condition/Etc

  • While still in shower and hair is soaking, add a dollop of this and comb through (I just find it conditioning and nice).

  • Put hair up in an old graphic t-shirt (less frizz than a towel!)

  • When 50-60% dry, take out and add a dollop of this - It's like a gel but way more forgiving and it smells like cake. (It doesn't taste like cake. Don't ask.)

  • Do my 6 tentacle braids...yours probably looks infinitely better with the french braided pigtails hahaha.

  • Go to sleep (my favourite step!)

  • Wake up, hair spray braids and let set while I do my makeup and whatever else.

  • When ready, take out braids and tousle roots - I try to avoid disturbing the body of the hair too much because then it's like brushing out curls and the frizz/largeness is oh my lol. But the roots definitely need some breaking up.

  • First day that's usually the extent of it.

  • Second Day I add the silkening gloss to control frizzies (2-3 pumps usually?). Second day is always the best day! Idk why hahaha.

  • Third day I also add the gloss - It seriously doesn't make oily at all!!!!! It's as amazing as the original thread says <3 Also third day I do a bun or something with the nice texture the braids give. Sometimes I leave it down but I definitely look a little lazy if I do that haha.

    I hope that helps! It's also possible your hair doesn't hold as well (cough or you have higher standards for acceptable hair than me...totally possible cough), but I think with those products you will hopefully get a little more mileage out of it!

My picks are a rotation of Japanese sunscreens, because when it comes to skincare I just can't stick to one thing!

Some in my rotation:

Disclosure: These are all Amazon non-affiliate links so people here can easily find prices and other reviews (even though I personally shop these on Ebay and Rakuten and not Amazon).

  • Biore Perfect Face Milk - Says it's water resistant, I personally like the finish and can use it under makeup with no issues.

  • Biore Perfect Milk - This is great for going out in my opinion, an actual going outside face sunscreen!

  • Hada Labo Creamy UV Gel - Very light and friendly, I reserve it for interior use.

  • Shiseido SENKA Mineral Water - I really like this one and on me this has a matte powdery finish. Some people complain it goes on greasy. I find that whole it's greasier than others during application, it dries out non-greasy. YMMV.

  • Forgot to add: I use Privacy's UV Face Powder for retouching. It's Zinc Oxide based. There are other sunscreen powders on the market. My mom uses Colorescience's and it can be found on Amazon too, and Peter Thomas Roth also has one. I just use this one because it's cheaper. It's very whitish though so not the best option for darker skintones.

    Finally, the cult favorite is Biore Watery Essence so I'm linking it. I personally did not like how drying this was and its citrus smell, but the vast majority of people swear by it because it's really light and easy to use everyday in interiors.

    Japanese sunscreens generally contain alcohol and all the ones I listed do contain alcohol, so if you're against alcohol in sunscreen you might not like the ones I list, however there are some well liked alcohol-free Japanese sunscreens that you can find searching online, /r/AsianBeauty can be a good resource for these.

    The reason I personally like Japanese sunscreens in particular is their texture and their ingredients. Most of them contain Titanium Dioxide (a physical UV blocker) and/or Zinc Oxide (the broadest spectrum UVA blocker approved for sunscreen use at the moment). UVA are the rays you need to look out for when preventing sings of aging. This is what PA and the plus signs after it stand for in Japanese sun products, while the SPF we are all familiar with only refers to UVB protection. Four plus signs after PA denote the highest level of protection currently in place.

    The downside of physical sunscreen it that it tends to leave a white cast behind so darker-skinned people might have issues with this aesthetically.

    There might be western sunscreens that are physical but most mainstream brands (like Neutrogena) rely on their chemical patented formula (or a mix of physical and chemical like some of La Roche Posay), which is also good, but can be sensitizing to some people. They also do have a greasier formula that remains tacky at least in my experience, and some people really hate this about sunscreen.

    I don't personally use Korean sunscreens at the moment because their regulations only allow PA+++ to be the highest, but many people enjoy their variety, so again you can look in the AsianBeauty subreddit or on youtube/blogs if you want to read reviews of those.

    **



    If you for personal reasons would like to get a Western brand physical non-greasy sunscreen, Paula's Choice Resist Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 Tinted Matte Moisturizer contains Zinc Oxide protection and has a matte finish!

    Her line is overall well liked by people because of their choice of ingredients due to a philosophy of extensive research. I have this sunscreen and while I found it too drying for my normalish-to-combo skin, it could be a godsend for oilier people. Ideal for daily use, and it has some tint. I haven't tried any other of her sunscreens but her line is worth looking into, if you're new to building a routine! Unfortunately I'm just noticing that since my introduction to this brand in 2014 the prices have raised, most likely due to her online following growing.

    Final note:
    All of which I just wrote is stuff I learned from the Internet and also my personal experiences with the products I've tried and liked, I'm not a sun protection expert!*

Woohoo! I've been waiting for this one. I talked in the IRC for a bit about my new best friend: The InstantPot!

If you don't know what it is, a quick run down: It's a 7-in-1 electric pressure cooker that you can use as a slow cooker, rice cooker, sauteeing pan, yogurt maker, steamer, and warmer. The only thing is won't do is dehydrate!

If you don't know what a pressure cooker does, it can essentially cut your slow cooker meals down from 4 hours to 25 minutes. For the standard "jar of salsa + chicken breast/thighs" recipe, we have shredded chicken in front of us 30 minutes after it's in the pot. So far I've made succulent pulled pork, amazing shredded chicken, and beans from dried in record time.

My favorite recipe really is the salsa chick (so simple, so versatile), and I end up making 2 pounds of it to spread throughout dinner,s my work lunches, and a little leftover in the freezer for a rainy day. It makes meal prep unbelievably easy. I haven't made a good chili or anything yet because it's summertime, but I know it's going to be awesome.

But the best part? Throwing out my rice cooker (I am a cook of many talents, but perfectly fluffy rice in a pot somehow eludes me) and slow cooker, and thereby decluttering our kitchen/pantry.

I promise I'm not a salesperson (I feel like one, I just LOVE this thing!) but here are some recipes I've tried that are simple, basic, and what I feel are the most useful with my IP.

Books on the brain this week.

  1. Has anyone read Dear Lover by David Deida? The Amazon reviews are really mixed, and I wanted to know what the RPWi community thought before buying it.

  2. I just finished reading this book, and I totally want to talk to someone about it! Has anyone else read it?

    So it follows that "super cranky, bitter, disenfranchised, pain-in-the-ass girl who doesn't care about her appearance snags the hottest hunk around" trope, which I'm growing weary of, but there was this really interesting hierarchical structure that absolutely smacked of RP. All of the nationals are ruled by Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta rulers.

    The main male character, Griffin, is this tall, muscular, smart, competent, ruthless-in-battle-but-emotionally-tender archetype, and he's the Beta ruler of his country, while his sister is Alpha (though he's the one who fought to get her there... obviously a power move to win the hearts of the locals). Kind of interesting to see the perfect blend of what RPWi would call alpha/beta traits in him, even as he fits into a governing structure that literally uses alpha/beta/etc. labels.

    What's also fascinating is the degree to which "amused mastery" is part of who he is. The main female character is a total pain in the ass: constantly trying to fight him, hit him, run away, call him names, tell him he's stupid, etc. To be fair, he did kidnap her, and she is a hot political commodity, but even when it becomes clear that it's for the best and all parties benefit from it (and that he has, of course, developed a deep romantic interest in her), she is just insufferably stubborn, and yet, through it all, he is unflappable. He does not kowtow to her juvenile behavior.

    Anyway. That's all. I love identifying RP and BP patterns in literature. Even though it's not consistent with the praxeology because it's at the mercy of the author, it's fascinating to see the author's views trickle into their work.

I have four kids, all born within 5 years. When they were small, I found it downright impossible to have proper dinner ready when my husband got home from work. I just couldn't joggle the baby, toddlers and cooking all at the same time.

I found the perfect solution from the book Bringing up bebe. We are European (but not French) and before we had kids we used to eat late. Now we decided to move dinner close to children's bedtime. It turned out to be a real win win solution for everybody.

When my husband now comes home, he first spends an hour or two with the children while I cook dinner. He loves it, children love it, and I have a wonderful stress-free time in kitchen listening to radio all by myself (ok, this is in theory - in practice kids run in and out and I'm needed every five or ten minutes for something. Unless they all go out.) By the time we sit at the table, all children are in their pajamas. Dinner is also much more relaxed, we know that within ten minutes after the children leave the table, they are in bed.

Nowadays we are both working, and late dinner is still the perfect solution for our family.

I like these 2 books on hosting: How to host a dinner party and What's a hostess to do

Based on my experience:

  • Stick to recipes you're comfortable with so you don't worry about messing up.
  • Try to prepare as much of the food as possible in the days before the party, if they will keep well.
  • Have your playlists and sound system ready before the party. I've had to spend time messing with the audio during parties before, which adds to stress.
  • Personally, I like to serve stuff like pasta and curry because they're one-pot dishes and the portions can be scaled up easily. Tomato-based sauces can be prepared beforehand. It's also easy to modify those dishes for people with dietary restrictions, by setting aside separate portions for them.

Thanks for posting this. I love her honest introspection and humility. The author's experience is a beautiful one, though while I can easily see her point of view, my grief journey was almost the opposite of hers. I was hoping to find something a little more poignant in the comments, but the loudest ones were the non-empathetic and unaccountable "you're his wife, not his mother" ones. They were so similar to the comments of that "She divorced me because I left dishes by the sink" article that went viral a while back that it's only the husband who has to compromise in marriage. Empathy - being able to see the world through another person's eyes - isn't being extended both ways. His viewpoint, his work, his sacrifices, and his pain aren't even considered by so many people.

From a Christian perspective, the church can be pretty terrible at this as well. It's one of several reasons why men hate going to church. Instead of catering to his needs and equipping him to be a captain, he is passive-aggressively burdened with the responsibility of her happiness. It doesn't help the team by focussing on one player. A great team functions by accentuating each other's strengths and covering each other's weaknesses, like picking up after a husband who compromises on laundry to spend more time with loved ones. "He had chosen what is more important."

I think my late would-be-wife would have also adored this article. Thanks again for sharing.

Can I just say that shipping prices factor into my online purchasing decisions a ridiculous amount? I have a small but flexible spending "fun" budget and the ability to browse things online at work, so I impulse bought The Little Book Of Hygge yesterday without a second though (free shipping thanks amazon) and yet, despite the fact I've revisited the website probably 7 times in the last 4 days and absolutely am in love with these mittens (I have a pair in red that are the best winter accessory I own except they don't match anything I own dang it) from the style to the lining to the colors, the shipping is $12 and I just can't do it. I can't. Its too much.
basically shipping costs have kept me from going over budget many a time. Its a love hate relationship I guess

This book has been really helpful to me. Housework finally feels manageable and is a daily habit. It outlines specific take for each day, but also has a built in flex day. Nothing else I tried had that flex day and then when something came up I would quickly get behind in housework and then super overwhelmed. Now I just pick up where I left off.

B's mom insists that we all provide lists for her and her mother so there's no question of what to get - it's kind of nice, because you actually get what you ask for! I never got any gifts that I asked for when I was a kid, so this is cool to me. :)

  • AncestryDNA test - I've wanted to do one of these kind of tests for SO LONG, so I am finally hoping to do it this year!
  • SUSHEZI! I'm hoping this thing is cool and works well; if so, I foresee quite a bit of sushi in our future.
  • This lap desk so I can shitpost from bed more comfortably. :)
