    Obsessively pulling at my split ends.

    I used to style my hair with heat, wash with sulfates and nasty things, rip it to shreds towel drying it, ALL daily. I have since stopped using heat completely, wash with friendlier ingredients a few times a week, condition my hair daily, and take my vitamins. One thing I cannot conquer is...

    Thoughts on Daylight Savings

    Not sure where best to post this, but yesterday I read a fun persuasive piece in The Guardian from an Aspie who doesn't like daylight saving - and why he doesn't! Tonight in Britain the clocks will go forward – all except mine | Stefano Pavone

    Advice before a surgery?

    It seems one of my great saphenous veins stopped working and I'm going to have to have it operated. Did any of you have such an experience? Any advice on how to prepare myself (and stay calm)? I will have to wait until autumn since all surgeries were cancelled due to coronavirus, but it should...

    Hello, I am new to the forum so sorry if I am inadvertently rude in any way. I've been doing some research on useful low impact supplements but its fairly difficult to find anything related to what I am looking for.

    Ramblings of a Lost Adult

    I don't choose sides. I listen and analyze. I want to learn more about other people from all kinds of communities to further understand why communication is so difficult within societies, when all we are are born, and out to survive.

    Eating Experience Survey/Looking for your input please

    I don't have an ASD diagnosis but I also haven't saught one out. ASD runs in my family and I score on the higher end or "borderline" on self-diagnostic tests. One thing I know for sure is that I relate more with non-neurotypicals than I do with neurotypicals. As a nutritional science grad...
