10 Ways to Improve Your Microbiomes in 2023✨

Yes, I meant to say microbiomes with an S✨

💚Microbiome Health (ie. Gut Health, Skin Health, Oral Health, Mental Health, Emotional Health, Nervous System Regulation, etc) is a major facet of Holistic Health because human beings intrinsically live intertwined with microbes. They are our symbiotic buddies, which means that our lifestyles are interdependent. If you're not thriving, neither are they. Self-care is not at all selfish, because it's always influencing at least millions of these tiny creatures💚

1✨ Eat a diversity of whole plant foods (extra points if you get a lot of fresh ones in your belly).

2✨ Establish high standards for rest for your lifestyle. Live more slowly. Stop the worrying (it's not necessary nor is it useful!). Meditate deeply. And focus on getting rejuvenated from your sleep. I recommend herbal adaptogens & relaxing nervines to learn more how relaxation feels on a physiological level.

3✨ Leave off or reduce products with synthetic ingredients in your life where you can. They tend to have a pH which is unsupportive to certain microbes or not "play nice" with certain populations.

4✨ Get probiotics in your diet. Condiments like ketchup, mustard, and soy sauce were always probiotic before these extremely shelf-stable versions. You can DIY those. Or kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, natto, yogurts, kombucha, drinking vinegars/shrubs, fermented bean pastes, poi, ginger bugs, coconut water kefir, and so many more. Every culture has their own. Probiotic foods are a great way to get more connected to your ancestral lines & explore other cultures.

5✨ Incorporate more herbs into your life. Many are digestion-supportive, gut-building, prebiotic, cell-regenerative, tissue-moistening, wound-healing, etc.

For the rest of the tips & elaboration on the tips, see the Patreon post scheduled to post @ 8pm EST today Jan 2nd 2023 for the Healing Babes Tier+!

May all beings be blissful 💚

It's highly underrated how much what we eat contributes to the health & appearance of our skin. This becomes highly important in the wintertime ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ as the air gets more chilly & our indoor spaces become drier with all the heating. Our very cells require high quality fats in our diets so that they can retain their hydration & integrity. Particularly for anyone who struggles with dry skin issues, this will make a significant difference in your skin.

☺️High quality whole food plant derived fats are: organic, with little to no preservatives or additives & little to no processing (the whole food forms are best [fresh or fermented], next comes plant milks/nut or seed butters/etc, and then comes cold-pressed oils).

😣I recommend against any fat products, or quantity of fats, that leave you feeling sluggish, tired, foggy brained, weighed down, or emotionally heavy. Rather than note a list of "bad ingredients" or an upper limit to the fats you should eat, it pays off more than anything to listen to the indications your body gives. A sluggish digestion, significant decline in energy, or a muddled mind after a meal is direct evidence that your cells haven't been well nourished.

Since MXTX said HuaLian live until the modern times, have some random headcanons:

Hua Cheng keeps being an interior decorating king so of course his and Xie Lian's home is tastefully decorated for every season and holiday. However, that doesn't stop Xie Lian from occasionally adding the fugliest item ever because he got emotionally attached to it in the store. "It was all by itself, San Lang, nobody wanted it... i know what that feels like better than anyone..." and now they're both sniffling holding an ugly styrofoam pumpkin in the middle of the fall decor isle of Ikea.

The stray animals food budget is off the charts but it's nobody's fault all strays are immediately drawn to Xie Lian and he has to feed them cause he "knows what it's like to be hungry". This does not just include cats and dogs but also rats, raccoons, several bird species and at least one coyote.

Speaking of budgets, the financial control authorities are lowkey on Hua Cheng's case because he is still stinking rich but nobody knows where the cash is coming from. They think Ghost City is the name of some shady mafia establishment and are trying to find dirt on Hua Cheng but there is literally nothing there and it eats the government alive.

Xie Lian occasionally dumpster dives in places where he knows they throw perfectly salvageable things. Hua Cheng cries every time it happens but he stands watch so the police doesn't arrest his husband for it.

In the same vein, Xie Lian insists on recycling literally everything. They have those different colored trash bins and everything, and every time Hua Cheng places an item in the wrong bin, Xie Lian gives him a disapproving look that has the ghost king crumble.

They have so many house plants. It's like a little jungle in their living room but the air is so crisp.

They keep several scrapbooks of paintings, pictures, letters etc from all the people they met to remember them even hundreds or thousands of years after those people have passed away. Even if they now have access to phones and other media for storage, they keep up the tradition of using scrapbooks and notebooks anyway.

Xie Lian is actually up to date with memes and internet slang but has embraced being a cringe Facebook grandpa and is now committed to the persona. Hua Cheng finds this hilarious (he runs a very well maintained beauty channel and a side channel on swords where Xie Lian features in every video and geeks out about their sword collection. They have a golden button and a very large following).

Hua Cheng has a 25 step skincare routine and only uses the fanciest brands of products for literally everything. Xie Lian still swears by 8 in 1 shampoo and somehow has clearer skin. Hua Cheng is both enamored and scandalized about it.

Hua Cheng is a very big fan of acryllics and lets Xie Lian pick the base color every time. Xie Lian takes this task very, very seriously and tries to coordinate it with any activities/events they have planned so Hua Cheng stays being stylish.

Hua Cheng has a portable Dyson Airwrap with him at all times because one time a kid said his hair looks like a wet dog.

Xie Lian is not allowed to get a job because every time he tried to along the decades he became a cautionary tale somehow.

>Simon steps up after finding bimbo!reader passed out on the couch, makeup and day clothes still on.

Simon is not a skincare man. He lived over 34 years barely even washing his face with whatever he could find around base, most of the time just water— until he met you. You do his skincare for him when he's back home and when he has to be deployed, you make sure to pack him a small bottle of face wash.

Simon is not a skincare man, but... seeing you on the couch, makeup still on and cheeks smushed against the decorative heart pillow make him feel something. The first thing he does is take out his phone and snap a picture, wanting to treasure the sight of you exhausting yourself to the point that you passed out on the couch with makeup on.

He looks down at you with a small smile, finding you just as pretty as usual even when your mouth is half-open, a tiny string of drool escaping your lips while your soft snores fill the room. He brushes your hair back, planting a small kiss on your forehead before going to wash his hands.

Simon is not a skincare man, but he's not an awful boyfriend either. He carefully scoops you up, carrying you back to bed and setting you down with the same gentleness he always uses with you. He takes one last look at your pretty, sleeping face before going to the bathroom, coming back with your skincare bag.

He's seen you do this routine enough times to have it fully memorized, hands working with haste to pull out a makeup remover wipe, holding your hair back while his free hand begins to gently rub the wipe all over your skin, making sure to be as gentle as possible when it's time to clean over your eyes.

“And...” Simon's full focus is going on looking for the next product in your bag, reading each label carefully until he finally finds it. He applies the cleanser all over your face, massaging the liquid into your skin. It's therapeutic, taking care of you the same way you always take care of him.

It takes him over 20 minutes to finish applying each product to your skin, his entire soul filled with pride when he sees your skin looking shiny and fresh with the products, the same way it always does when you sleep.

“Come here.” He whispers to no one in particular and starts to slowly remove your day clothes, knowing you'd be upset if you woke up in the clean bed with your outside clothes. He's as careful as they come as he slips you into one of his shirts, pulling the warm blankets under your sleeping body before he goes to take a shower.

He comes back 30 minutes later, finally feeling refreshed and slipping into bed with you, tucking you under his arm. He has to stifle a chuckle when you unconsciously snuggle to him. He plants a soft kiss to your forehead, a triumphant smile on his thin lips when you don't wake up to scold him for smearing the skincare.

“Baby!” He's woken up by your smaller body hugging him tightly, peppering his face with kisses all over. His arms wrap around your waist, holding you close and barely managing to look up at you before he closes his eyes again, hiding his face on your chest.

“You did my skincare for me.” He lets out a low grumble, being smothered by your chest as you hold him closer, rocking him around in nothing but pure happiness.

“Mhm.” In his mind, it's nothing compared to what you do for him, but he'll take the small victory, enjoying being smothered by your soft tits. He tries to go back to sleep, ignoring the way his boxers start feeling tight.

Femme Fatale Guide: Healthy Habits To Look & Feel Your Best Without Restriction or Unrealistic Routines

Realistic ways to maintain a healthy life/body/appearance (size and weight are all personal, not the most important metric – for certain). No diet culture or delulu-land tips here.

What I've done to maintain my 30-pound weight loss for over a decade, glowing clear skin (no pimples or discoloration, etc.), and super healthy, full & shiny hair, still living life and enjoying it – the mindful way.

Eat home-cooked meals & (plant-based) whole foods – 90-95% of the time

Incorporate at least 1 salad into my daily routine (either a large, hearty lunch salad or a simple green salad as a starter with dinner)

Include at least 1 fruit/vegetable in every meal or snack

Never restrict food groups – whole grains/potatoes, healthy fats, protein-rich plant foods, and produce are all essential to consume every day

Focus on meals, but have whole food snack options on hand to enjoy if genuinely hungry (mainly fruit, lupini beans, edamame, carrots/celery/cucumber with hummus, plain popcorn, handful of almonds/cashews)

Have breakfast after one coffee (before a second) and have dinner late enough (8-9:30 pm) to curb late-night hunger

Only have fruit and tea after dinner; Always stop consuming food at least 3 hours before bed for better sleep/digestion

Order whatever I want when going out to eat, but split dessert

Have at least one indulgent meal/dessert per week

No sugary cocktails – wine, champagne/prosecco, martinis, gin & tonic, margarita, French Connection, Sambuca, Grappa, tequila on the rocks, etc. are great options. Bellinis/fruit plus wine/spirits cocktails are a good middle ground. Sugary drinks worsen the hangover – big-time

Perceive healthy eating as a form of enjoyment, creativity, and nourishment, not restriction or deprivation (it's not if done liberally enough)

Consume a vitamin B12 and vitamin D supplement daily. Keep digestive enzymes on hand for when they're necessary

Always have a large glass of water first thing in the morning (before coffee) and by my side all day long

No soda, juices, sugary drinks, etc. Black coffee, tea, and water only on the daily – wine and no-sugar alcoholic drinks on rare occasions. Smoothies can be a great snack or breakfast, though!

Incorporate an (almost) daily walk into my schedule as a form of exercise and a mental health reset (I aim for 4-5 miles/10Kish steps per day on average)

Do short, low-impact strengthen training exercises 3x a week (15-30 mins each usually) for bone health & toning

Never forcing myself to do strenuous exercise/workout formally in a gym – it's not for me; it doesn't make me feel/look better and throws my hunger & energy levels way off. To each their own, though

Have a variety of playlists ready to go for waking up, working, dancing, walking/workouts, doing chores, and reading/relaxing

Internalizing that sexual health is a core aspect of your health & well-being – on all counts

Maintaining a simple skincare routine 2x per week with high-quality products and a couple of weekly treatments

Prioritizing my body care routine with as much as my facial skincare routine

Wearing at least SPF 30 daily

Exfoliating 2-3x per week

Learning what hair products work for my hair type; Using a deep conditioning mask and a scalp mask weekly

Using only cold water when washing my hair

Incorporating face & body massages into my weekly at-home routine

Using Uriage lip balm, hand cream, and deodorant religiously

Flossing 1-2 times a day/using an electric toothbrush

Spencer does your makeup.

In which you let Spencer do your makeup for the day, and he knows exactly how you do it.

fem!reader, fluff

notes: this isn't proofread, so sorry in advance for any mistakes you might find!! absolute fluff btw. If any of you guys wanna send a request feel free to do so, i might start writing smut as well but im still a little shy lol, feel free to follow and interact.

Spencer watches you get ready every chance he gets. He has your morning routine engraved in his brain. He knew the rhythm of your mornings like the lyrics to a favorite song, each step a symphony of grace and purpose.

He loves your expressions as you're trying to figure out your outfit, the way you look the temperature for the day on your phone to know if you should bring a coat or not – even though you always do, 'cause you're always cold.

He also loves to watch you do your makeup, he looks at you as if you were the most talented artist and were finishing up a masterpiece, he watches you with attention, careful to not miss a single brush stroke as you blush up your cheeks.

"Hey, um, would you mind if I tried doing your makeup today?" Spencer's voice was tentative, almost shy, as he approached you.

You were surprised by his offer, turning to face him, a soft smile playing at the corners of your lips. "Sure, Spence. Why not? It could be fun."

He sat down in front of you, analyzing your face and the makeup items on your desk, he picked up your moisturizer first, applying it all over your face, massaging it softly as he did, he followed all your skincare to a T, his face of concentration making you hide a smile.

Spencer got your foundation and beauty blender, you couldn't stop the surprised look on your face as he took the time to wet your sponge, surprised he even knew you did this. And again, he followed your base routine as if he was the one doing it every day, not missing a single stroke of the brush on your skin.

"Did you know that lipstick was originally made from crushed bugs and plants?" he said, his voice a mixture of fascination and amusement. "Thankfully, we've come a long way since then."

You laugh softly at the information, loving his ramble. He continued rambling about the history of makeup and all the techniques ancient people used, and you looked at him as his hands worked on your face, he was so close, paying so close attention to your face you almost got shy, but it was Spencer.

Spencer makes you feel so confident, he never fails to compliment you every chance he gets, his eyes lighting up every time he sees you, if you're in your pajamas or a fancy dress, it doesn't matter, he looks at you just the same like you're the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, and he makes you feel that way too.

When it came time to apply the eyeliner, you noticed he was struggling a little, smiling a little when he made a wavy line almost on your cheek.

"Oops, sorry," he muttered, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

You reached out, taking the eyeliner from his hand with a reassuring smile. "It's okay, Spence. I'll finish up."

As you smoothed out the lines and added the finishing touches, Spencer watched with a mixture of awe and admiration, his heart swelling with pride at the sight of your beauty enhanced by his handiwork.

When you turned to face him, the mirror reflecting your radiant smile at him, Spencer couldn't help but feel a swell of affection for the incredible person standing before him.

"You're beautiful," he whispered, his voice filled with love and admiration.
