5x black pots=freebies

alushperspective:

So as posted on the UK lush facebook page now you may get a chunk of soap OR a fresh face mask! This is exciting news. Although face masks sound fun I really am more of a soap person. I just keep thinking I could have a nice chunk of ice blue, but my R&B lasts forever so unless I buy something else in a black pot…

Soup.io will be discontinued :(

Dear soup.io fans and users,
 
today, we have to share very sad news. Soup.io will stop working in less than 10 days. :(
 
It's breaking our heart and we honestly tried whatever we could to keep the platform up and running. But the high costs and low revenue streams made it impossible to continue with it. We invested a lot of personal time and money to operate the platform, but when it's over, it's over.
 
We are really sorry. Soup.io is part of the internet history and online for one and a half decades.
 
Here are the hard facts:
- In 10 days the platform will stop working.
- Backup your data in this time
- We will not keep backups nor can we recover your data
 
July, 20th, 2020 is the due date.
 
Please, share your thoughts and feelings here.
 
Your Soup.io TEAM

Selling some stuff on eBay

I have listed some stuff on eBay. Please look them up here. I’ll throw in a freebie with each order if you tell me you’re from Tumblr. :)

I have tons more from TBS and BBW that I need to sell because I am using other brands now. I’ll also be listing some LUSH soaps (Banana Moon, Ring of Rose, Lemslip) and shampoo (Jumping Juniper, Squeaky Green) that I don’t think I am going to use because they’re too dry for my skin. 

Please feel free to drop me a message requesting for a specific product! Thanks. :)

On Fox, the news exists in order to generate controversy. And controversy exists in order to generate resentment. And the resentment is what generates ratings. So this is my most concise idea about Fox: we should consider it “resentment news.” I think that’s the genre in which it trades…
— Jay Rosen, “Resentment News (and More Blondes Per Square Foot): Explaining What Fox News Channel Is” (via ryking)

I’ve realized one thing today: People don’t like it when you tell them that the products that they’re using are harmful because of the ingredients. They don’t want to come across as ignorant or come across as someone who’s made the wrong choice. I have made wrong choices too. And I am actually using some pretty harmful cosmetics and it worries me to no end. However, I refuse to close my eyes and not read anything and remain ignorant. We all have a right to educate ourselves of the danger, of what’s better for us and for everyone around us. 

I don’t know how I am going to manage to get rid of all the harmful chemicals around me. But I am going to try my best. The last thing I want to do is die of cancer. I probably sound crazy, right? Feel free to unfollow me. I won’t get offended ;)

Such an ignorant comment posted on the wall of LUSH Limited

This is extremely sad and pissing off. Please read this comment posted by A Lexie Tomey on Lush Limited: 

Lush, I ♥ you but I feel like I need to comment on the ‘Go Vegetarian!’ thing: We eat meat because it’s the natural cycle of things. What about other animals killing animals? It’s not cruel when other animals eat animals, it’s just considered natural. Well, why isn’t a human eating meat considered natural? Don’t get me wrong, I hate how some people kill them inhumanly, but I always buy my meat from a shop that I KNOW kills animals in a humane, non-painful way (such as putting them to sleep). Also, when we eat animals such as cows and chicken we help to keep their population in check. If we didn’t eat chickens and cows (or other animals) their populations would increase sharply, causing the amount of land per each cow to decrease, and, inevitably, causing the population to starve due to lack of resources. Would you rather eat a cow that lived well and was killed humanely or watch an entire population of cows starve because the human population refused to fulfill their natural duty?


My response on Facebook:

Has anyone seen the documentary Food, Inc? It really makes you wonder how your meat is prepared and where it comes from. Most animals are actually kept in very deplorable condition. How do you think meat is kept cheap whereas fresh vegetables are more expensive in markets? 

Also, Lexie, I don’t understand how you got the idea that we need to eat cows to control their population…India has a lot of cows who are perfectly healthy. In fact, a lot of Indians don’t eat cows due to religious reasons. I haven’t EVER heard there being a cow population problem? It’s the human population growth that is more worrisome to me. It’ll be nice if you can suggest a solution to that. 

I totally agree that MOST farming is done for profiteering! Hardly anyone is running an NGO relating to farming these days? If you were to trace back the origins of meat production, almost all of them belong to 3-4 extremely profit thirsty corporations. Small farmers who would rather rear their chicken, cows etc. in an open field find it very difficult to survive because most of them are under contracts to sell an X amount of meat every quarter to fulfill their share of the contract. If they don’t provide X, their contracts don’t get renewed. Almost every year, X increases because corps. want more profit! So guess what happens? More and more animals are stuffed into small spaces and given less nutritious food.

Unless you buy your meat directly from a farmer’s market, I doubt your meat has been produced the right away.

The sad part is, I think I know who this lady is. I have  seen her making posts on LUSH San Antonio’s page :-\  I might have bumped into her at one of LUSH’s parties. Makes me sad to think that such ignorant FOOLS exist on this Earth. For all their smartness about buying natural LUSH products (which aren’t so natural anyway), they go ahead and post such IGNORANT comments. Le Sigh.

Reincarnate Shampoo by LUSH

Got a pretty generous sample of this shampoo with my first order. Lasted for at least 8-10 washes. Initially, I was pretty bowled over by this. Made my hair really clean and voluminous. Just for the record, I have black hair. It’s slightly wavy! People think I have moderately thick hair. I think it’s thin ;) Anyway, moving on…now that I am done with my sample of this shampoo, I’m not sure if I like it…first off, it’s extremely difficult to use. Doesn’t lather at all, which I don’t mind really. But it won’t clean my hair if it’s oily. I have to use A LOT of it to get my hair clean. My hair gets greasy within 2-3 days and I think a lot of it has to do with SLS. The more I read about SLS, the more I’m convinced. Doesn’t help that all of LUSH’s shampoo have SLS. 

Also, I found this shampoo to be really drying compared to my regular shampoo. I had to had to use a conditioner right after. The official description of the shampoo says that it will impart a slight color to my hair…didn’t notice anything of that sort happening. I might not have used it enough. And I did color my hair about a year back and a lot of it is still there in the lower tail ends….

Rating: 6/10. Won’t buy. Thank you. 

We have recently begun to replace sodium lauryl sulphate with a milder surfactant, sodium coco-sulphate. This new material is kinder to the scalp, but still cleans the hair effectively

I’m so glad!

Great…still not enough though… I think I am gonna stop using their shampoo.

“FOR THE GREATER GOOD” ?????? 

BURT’S BEES IS TOTALLY RUN BY DARK WIZARDS!!!

*paranoia*

Everything apart from my "The Body Shop" order has been shipped. Why why why.

Why is it so difficult for you, dear TBS, to ship my stuff on time??? :( Been more than 3 business days since I placed my order. Booooooo!

Consumers “walk down the aisle in the grocery stores’ health and beauty area, and they’re confronted with ‘natural’ at every turn,” says Daniel Fabricant, vice president for scientific and regulatory affairs at the association. “We just don’t want to see the term misused any longer.” To prove his own bona fides, Mr. Replogle grabs a bottle of Burt’s Bees avocado butter hair treatment, squeezes some onto his finger and dramatically licks it off. He then passes the tube to two Clorox executives so they can have a taste. “If you can’t put it into your mouth, you shouldn’t put it on your skin,” he says. “I’d like to see other companies do that.
