The way to Groom A summertime Beard, in line with professionals.

Your beard can also have regarded wonderful all wintry weather lengthy, however, it’s going to need some extra assistance this summer season. Blazing solar and sticky humidity tiers can leave once-high priced whiskers desperate for next-stage renovation. So, what to do whilst the warmth’s killing your appearance?

Let’s get the biggest question out of the way first: Will having a beard make you sense warmer in an already hot season? Now not necessarily, stated film and tv make-up artist Kerrin Jackson. “sincerely, your beard is absolutely maintaining you cooler,” she said. “Your sweat can evaporate without difficulty through beard hairs, so, in essence, it’s sincerely your very own natural facial cooling machine.” Emily Clark, the senior barber at Fellow Barber in the big apple, agreed: “Don’t think of it like sporting a woolen sweater for your face, but extra like a guard.”

Read on for extra recommendations from styling and beauty experts.

How (and the way regularly) to clean your beard

First, there’s the difficulty of washing. “human beings will wash their hair and face, but so regularly they forget their beard,” Clark said. “You don’t want to scrub it easy, but make certain which you’re operating through a gentle cleaning product, like a co-wash that carries each shampoo and conditioner. In an effort to leave the beard superb gentle, easy, and not greasy.”

While a few stylists propose the usage of the identical shampoo for the entirety, Jackson has any other concept. “Your beard hair and the hair for your head are distinctive beasts and want to be dealt with as such. Using your normal hair shampoo on your beard will strip it of its precious natural oils. Alternatively, I suggest searching out a terrific-great beard-precise wash. Avoid shopping for something with parabens or other powerful chemical compounds, considering that they’re simply too unfavorable.”

Jackson suggested washing your beard a couple of times a week. “anything more is overdoing it, and might bring about your beard hair appearing dry and lifeless.”

Purchase yourself a broom and a bottle

You’ll additionally need to sweep your beard on the normal, too. “A herbal boar bristle brush will paintings wonders to your beard,” Jackson stated. “it can additionally assist to gently exfoliate the pores and skin beneath, stimulate flow and growth the production of the natural oils that will assist it to stay its great lifestyles.” Hair artist Leonardo Rocco counseled: “Brush in the direction of the hair as it grows, which will assist save you ingrown hairs from developing.”

Further to treating yourself to a beard brush, you could want to buy yourself a beard-certain spray bottle. “in case you’re swimming inside the ocean or in a chemically dealt with swimming pool, give your beard a rinse in sparkling water afterward to rid it of any excess sea salt or drying chemical compounds,” Jackson said.

“Or you may strive a spritz from a water bottle, which can also be extraordinary clean to your face,” she advised. “My favored tip is to add a few drops of natural peppermint oil to a twig bottle. No longer most effective does this feel sensational, but the peppermint also is believed to sell and stimulate new hair growth. Just hold the peppermint to a few drops, and keep in mind that it usually desires to be diluted, or it could motivate skin burns or further damage.”

Develop a pre-bedtime beard recurring

“Your hair, skin, frame, and facial hair all require extra hydrating at some point of the summer months,” Jackson stated. “a great idea is to hydrate your beard within the evening when you’ve showered and are geared up for mattress. That way, your beard moisturizer has time to visit paintings at the same time as you sleep.”

Don’t skimp on hydrating remedies, like beard oil, just because it’s warm outdoor, the specialists stated. “due to the fact the hair at the face is generally dry, it’s going to need plenty of moisture to hold it gently,” Clark stated. “tender beard is all the more kissable, and if your beard is lengthy, it’ll be less complicated to manage and tangle-free if you use beard oil.”

Wat is een slimme speaker?

In een wereld die volop in beweging is en waar elke dag nieuwe technologische ontwikkelingen plaatsvinden, is het soms lastig bij te houden welke voordelen elk product bezit en wat het doel van het product is. Zo ook in de wereld van smartproducten. Smartproducten komen in allerlei soorten, maten en functies. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de slimme speaker in de woonkamer waar je alleen ''hallo Alexa'' tegen hoeft te zeggen en de speaker doet gelijk al wat die moet doen. In deze blog nemen wij je mee naar de oorsprong van de slimme speaker en wat een slimme speaker nu eigenlijk?

De slimme speaker

Allereerst, een slimme speaker is meestal een kleine en compacte speaker voor in huis. De speaker ziet er net zo uit als andere muziekspeakers, alleen de slimme speaker kan ook samenwerken met andere slimme apparaten, waardoor het bijvoorbeeld ook mogelijk is om de verwarming aan te zetten middels de speaker. Handig toch?

Spraakassistent

Hoewel je waarschijnlijk al heel enthousiast bent, is dat nog niet alles! De slimme speakers geven je ook informatie over je agenda, het weer, files en het nieuws. Smart speakers bedien je via een spraakassistent zoals Google Assistent. Heeft de speaker een ingebouwde spraakassistent, dan bedien je al je apparatuur via spraakopdrachten. Is de speaker compatibel met een spraakassistent? Dan kun je de speaker spraakgestuurd bedienen als je een andere speaker in huis hebt met spraakassistent.

Toch zit er onderling nog veel verschil in smart speakers, want er zijn veel dingen die je mee moet nemen in je overweging. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan of je een slimme speaker middels een stekker wilt of juist een draadloze zodat het draad niet in de weg zit.

Ook zijn er duizenden verschillende merken waar je uit moet kiezen. Heb jij bijvoorbeeld al veel van in huis, dan is het handig om ook je speaker van Sonos te halen zodat je alles met elkaar kan connecten.

Ook zijn er dingen als prijs, model, verbindingsmogelijkheden en andere productspecificaties die een rol spelen bij de keuze. Wij snappen dat je zelf geen zin hebt om dit te onderzoeken en daarom hebben wij een selectie gemaakt van de best beoordeelde slimme speakers. Voor elk budget, eisen en voorkeuren zit er een speaker bij! Klik hier om de blog van SmartVoorGemak te lezen!

My mom watches two kids (siblings) once or twice a week and the oldest likes to see what color my nails are painted and pick out a color for the next time. The most recent time they were over, I had taken the paint off the night before, but was too tired to paint them.

I hadn't finished my first cup of coffee when the oldest said "your nails don't have colors today, are you sad?"

I told them I had just been too sleepy and asked if they wanted to help me with them today. Now I have yellow and purple polkadot nails

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

re: that fucking staff post. obviously death to algorithms, but i also wanna interrogate the wider underlying assumptions of their logic there cuz. is 'success' having lots of followers & lots of popular posts??? why is that the end goal of using this website. i don't open tumblr to get attention from strangers, i open tumblr to read funny jokes and interesting commentary and to see cool art. encouraging clout-chasing will only increase user engagement if you successfully get people literally addicted to the associated dopamine hit. what if we didn't have to do that!!! what if a website could be a place you went to on purpose because you had fun there!!!!

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

Something I miss from earlier eras of the creative side of the internet was things just being unabashedly low-budget. Just all unashamedly amateur, unprofessional, ‘I don’t own a good camera but I have a story to tell you’, ‘I can’t afford a good mic but I have a song to sing for you,’ ‘I don’t have any kind of background in editing or lighting and I only just picked up this guitar last Tuesday but here’s an entire musical me and my friends wrote about our favourite book, we filmed it on a potato and put it up on YouTube in ten minute segments because we thought it was pretty funny.’

one of the things i really like about sdv Elliott is that he apparently moved into town a solid year before you… specifically to write his book… and yet he still doesn’t even have a genre picked out. unreal. im wild about him. writer mood

SO I had a theory that Chilchuck is actually a little older than Senshi IF you make them the same species or if you compare their age to the lifespawn

and

I WAS RIGHT

the difference is tiny BUT ITS THERE and honestly its fucking hilarious

Senshi tries his best to be the dad but true dad is a little slightly older man, who actually have kids... BOTH are valiDADS though and I love them both

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.
