Are parabens really harmful?

Parabens are a class of chemicals that are commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics, personal care products, and some food products. There has been some concern in recent years that parabens may be harmful to human health, particularly in terms of their potential to act as endocrine disruptors, which are chemicals that can interfere with the body's hormonal system.

However, the scientific consensus on the safety of parabens is that they are generally safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products at the concentrations typically used. Regulatory agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) have evaluated the available evidence and determined that parabens, when used as directed, do not pose a significant health risk to consumers.

That being said, some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to parabens, and may experience skin irritation or other adverse effects as a result. In addition, some people may choose to avoid parabens for personal or environmental reasons, as they are not biodegradable and can potentially accumulate in the environment over time.

Overall, while parabens have been the subject of some controversy, the weight of scientific evidence suggests that they are generally safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products, and are an effective means of preventing microbial growth and extending the shelf life of these products.

Soc. Com. C. Santos apoia 47ª edição do festival de teatro FITEI

A Sociedade Comercial C. Santos é um dos parceiros do Festival Internacional de Teatro de Expressão Ibérica (FITEI). A 47ª edição daquele que é um dos maiores e mais antigos festivais de teatro em Portugal decorre de 15 a 26 de maio em várias salas do Norte do país.

A parceria da Sociedade Comercial C. Santos com o FITEI, que tem na cedência de viaturas Mercedes-Benz para apoio à organização a face mais visível, é importante pela relevância do evento na região e no setor cultural. “O apoio à cultura é uma aposta de longa data da Sociedade Comercial C. Santos e estarmos associados ao FITEI é, para nós, motivo de orgulho. Trata-se de um dos mais antigos e importantes festivais de teatro em Portugal e tem como epicentro a região onde estamos sediados. É uma das marcas da região do Porto”, afirma a diretora de marketing da Sociedade Comercial C. Santos, Ana Bolina.

Dezanove espetáculos (nove internacionais) em 14 palcos

A programação do FITEI 47 rege-se pelo tema “Trauma, Bravura e Fantasmagorias”, desenvolvendo e densificando aspetos temáticos já abordados na edição de 2023. Para além das habituais salas no Porto, Matosinhos, Vila Nova de Gaia e Viana do Castelo, junta-se o Coliseu do Porto, num total de 14 palcos.

Serão apresentados 19 espetáculos, dos quais nove internacionais (de países como Argentina, Brasil, Chile e Espanha), seis coproduções FITEI e 14 estreias absolutas ou nacionais. Pode consultar toda a programação da 47ª edição do FITEI aqui.

Paralelamente às peças, decorrerão, entre outras iniciativas, ações de formação com a participação dos artistas que passam pela cidade, o FITEI Pro, com encontros entre programadores e artistas, mesas redondas e showcases e o no FITEI Aberto. Tal como o nome indica, o FITEI Aberto reúne um conjunto de atividades que promovem o encontro entre o público do festival, os artistas e os públicos de outras áreas para além das salas teatrais, de forma descomprometida e plural.

Além das festas abertas ao público no clube popular Guindalense, que já caracterizam a programação do festival, em 2024 o FITEI dá continuidade às Aparições no espaço público: ações inesperadas e, por vezes, improvisadas, que reúnem música ou spoken word e performance, transportando o FITEI para as ruas e configurando-se como micropolíticas de resistências. Estas ações são pensadas em conjunto com a Matéria Prima e, este ano, conta com as participações do Ensemble LIBECCIU e da Orquestra Urbana da Trofa.

no cause scc!reader probably when her kids are older she starts like a cute etsy business and her kids help her and she’s so proud of herself and scc!rafe sees it and he sorta takes over trying to get people to invest and she’s just like “rafe is an etsy business”… here’s how it goes (ib: @rafeslittlepup)

she’s just trying to make her little handmade things—hair bows, custom recipe cards, vintage-inspired aprons—and she’s so proud of it, shipping them off in pink bubble mailers with dried flower confetti and hand-written thank you notes. it’s her soft little world, her cute side thing now that the house is quieter and the kids are older.

she’s working out of the sunroom, tea steaming beside her, favorite candle lit, typing out Etsy captions like:

“perfect for slow mornings 🌸 handmade with love 💌”

and the kids help her take pictures, package orders, even run the post office errands. her daughter helps her with aesthetic reels, her eldest son built her a little website (“just in case it blows up, mom”), and the baby boy makes stickers that say “made with love by mom.”

but then scc!rafe finds out it’s doing numbers.

and suddenly he’s pacing in the living room shirtless with glasses on, saying things like:

“you know if we brand this right we could scale. licensing deals, bulk production—baby, you’re sitting on a goldmine.”

and she’s just like 🧍‍♀️ sipping her iced matcha like

“rafe. it’s an etsy shop.”

and he doesn’t get it.

he’s running numbers, calling his lawyer, half-joking about putting it under a shell corp. meanwhile she’s just trying to make crochet mug sleeves for fall 😭

but deep down?? he’s so proud of her.

he orders from her shop using a fake name just to leave 5-star reviews.

he makes their daughter wear the bows out in public.

he gets a little shelf made for her “office” and calls it “headquarters.”

and when she hits her 1,000th sale he buys her 1,000 flowers and says,

“not bad for a housewife.”

with a smirk.

but then kisses her forehead like she just closed a million-dollar deal.

Alexithymia sucks. This chart helps!

How are you feeling? You don’t know? Me neither! So I look at this chart several times a day (got reminders set on my phone) to check in on how I’m feeling throughout the day. I’ve been doing it for a few months, and it’s actually getting a lot easier to identify how I’m feeling.

Pro tip: some people have to rely more on how their body feels to tell them what they’re feeling emotionally. Work on trying to identify how certain emotions feel in your body. Work in broad strokes at first, before working on identifying more specific emotions. For example, try to notice how sad, happy, angry, and afraid feel. Where in your body do you feel them? What physical sensations go along with the emotions? It’s different for everyone!

The more often you practice, the better you’ll get at it. This is all straight from my therapist and it’s how I’m finally feeling my feelings after years of dissociation.

[cameronsbabydoll]

hii for scc can you pls write something like they go to a party and one of the mums judges reader for not having her own life and always being with her kids or the husbands saying something about reader ^_^

what would they know

warnings: mom-shaming, judgment from other wives/husbands, reader feeling small or insecure, rafe being protective, soft comfort

you didn’t want to go to the party in the first place.

it was one of those shiny coastal soirées—linen shirts and cold wine, white lights strung over someone’s backyard, men clustered around the grill while the women gathered around cheese boards talking about tennis schedules and personal trainers.

you’d gotten the kids ready that morning, packed snacks, kissed scraped knees. you’d braided your daughter’s hair twice because the first one was “too bumpy.” you wore your softest summer dress and let rafe tug you close for a kiss before heading out.

you were tired. you always were. but you smiled, like always. because you loved them more than anything.

rafe disappeared off with some of the husbands when you arrived. you didn’t mind—you were used to it.

you stood near a small group of wives, laughing politely, even when you didn’t understand the joke. you were halfway through sipping your sparkling water when one of them looked at you, head tilted slightly.

"so, do you do anything else?" she asked. “besides the kids, i mean.”

you blinked.

“i… i stay home,” you said slowly. “i take care of the house. our kids are still young, and—”

“right,” she interrupted, nodding, her tone too sweet. “i just feel like i’d go crazy without my own thing, you know?”

she smiled with teeth. “i mean, you’re always with your kids.”

you shrank a little. you knew what she meant. the implication. the subtle jab at your softness, your simplicity, the fact that you weren’t chasing something with your name on it.

another wife chimed in with a tight smile. “yeah, all the guys were joking earlier that rafe basically has a live-in nanny.”

your heart dropped.

you forced a smile. “i don’t mind,” you whispered. “i like being there for them.”

but it didn’t matter what you said. they’d already decided.

too soft. too available. too devoted.

you excused yourself a minute later and found a quiet spot by the pool, pretending to check your phone just so your hands had somewhere to go. your chest was tight.

and that’s when rafe found you.

he crouched down beside your chair. “hey,” he said, brushing your arm. “you alright?”

you nodded, blinking fast. “just a little tired.”

he saw right through it.

“what happened?” he asked, his voice dipping lower.

you didn’t answer right away, but your silence gave you away. your bottom lip wobbled the slightest bit.

“they said something, didn’t they?”

you looked down. “it’s stupid. just… one of the moms said something about me not doing anything else. like i’m just—around. all the time. with the kids.”

you laughed softly, bitterly. “i guess i just never thought that was a bad thing.”

rafe’s jaw tensed.

he stood up straight, tugged your hand until you followed. he looked down at you, thumb brushing over your knuckles.

“you know what i said earlier? about how the guys were joking around?” he asked quietly. “you know what i told them?”

you shook your head.

he stepped closer. “i told them they wish they had someone like you.”

his voice was calm, but tight with conviction.

“someone who holds their whole damn family together. someone who chooses to be there every day. not ‘cause you have to, but because you love us that much.”

you looked up at him with wide, stinging eyes.

“they don’t get to judge that. not when they’re too busy hiring help just to make it through the week.” he cupped your jaw. “they don’t get to look at you like you’re less for being the kind of mom every kid dreams of.”

and then, gentler:

“our kids are lucky. i’m lucky. and i swear to god, if anyone says otherwise again, i’ll—”

“rafe—”

“no,” he muttered, brushing a thumb under your eye. “they don’t get to talk about my wife like that.”

you exhaled shakily, pressing your forehead against his chest. he held you close, warm and steady under the twinkle lights.

because the world might not understand a woman like you.

but he did.
