my skin and lips tends to become extremely dry, dull and flaky in the winter months due to freezing weather and drying indoor heating, so here are some tips to help you guys out!

• moisturize!! seriously!! twice a day!!! this balances out oily/ dry patches of you skin, and will reduce inflammation if you have sensitive skin (like mee)

• you don’t need to exfoliate too often, i use my face scrub once a week (variable depending on your skin type), this boosts skin regeneration and makes product absorption better 

• drinks loads of water, or green tea, or herbal teas, or warm water with lemon e.t.c whatever keeps you hydrated! it’s so easy to forget when you’re busy, so carry a water bottle wherever you go, and aim to drink all of it by the end of the day for example

• eat foods with high water-content, examples include strawberries, apples, oranges and veggies like celery and cucumber. an adequate diet will benefit your skin and well as ur physical health

• use organic, good-quality lip balm, ones like burt’s bees, pangea organics, the body shop will really help chapped lips

• remove dead skin from your lips by wetting them with luke-warm water, and scrubbing them dry with a towel. my friend said scru cream is a good exfoliater, but i haven’t tried it

• get enough sleep!! if you’re sleep-deprived, your body produces the stress hormone cortisol, which will stress out your skin, and cause inflammation

Female Character: *Everybody is immediately drawn to her for no discernible reason*

Female Character: *Extremely powerful compared to all of the other characters within the story; there’s no reason as to how she became so powerful*

Female Character: *For some reason is able to quickly pick up new skills in a period of time comparable to a genius; no explanation for this too.*

Female Character:  *has virtually no weaknesses except she’s clumsy teehee :)*

Person: Isn’t this kind of a mary-sue?

Tumblr: why do misogynists like to invalidate strong female characters???????????

Books

Viktor really loves books, his apartment is crammed with them. When he was younger, some of the more fantastical stories ended up inspiring a lot of his routines, ever desperate to play out the hero of certain things he’s read. 

As he gets older, Viktor basically finds reading to be one of his few hobbies. At first he does it a lot at Yakov’s insistence to improve on his English around the time he becomes internationally famous, essentially sticking to the classics at first (causing him to sound incredibly pretentious for a year or so), before deciding he genuinely enjoys it, expanding his tastes more into non-fiction.

He picks up a pretty bad habit of starting the longest novels possible on flights to competitions, which often ends in him not finishing it, and proceeding to spend basically every moment off the ice with his nose in a book (which is why a lot of the other skaters go unnoticed and recognised). 

Yuuri at first thinks it’s a little weird how Viktor seems to have random spouts of knowledge on a seemingly infinite amount of subjects, and can quote things like detailed philosophy out of nowhere, but mostly he puts it down to him just being a sophisticated person, and that’s what he assumes sophisticated people do. 

It’s only when they move to St Petersburg together, and Viktor is reunited with the books that he had no space for in Japan, that Yuuri realises that his fiance is… well, a book nerd. All things considered, Yuuri is a night owl, but that’s nothing compared to Viktor when he’s in the middle of a good book. Thankfully, Yuuri manages to adapt to sleeping with the bedside light on, and the sound of turning pages. 

He begins to find it endearing one of the few times he actually gets a response when he politely asks what he’s reading (usually it’s just a mumble as he holds up the front cover). In this case, it happens to be some sort of mythology collection, which Viktor goes into about half an hour of excited discussion about every little thing he finds interesting. It’s like some kind of barrier has gone down and Yuuri can’t help but loving the man just that little bit more with every passionate word that slips from his mouth

Even if he does force Yuuri into dressing as Harry Potter for a party one time. 

AU CONCEPT:

What if Goku accidentally let slip about Future Trunks’ identity and BULMA AND VEGETa had to schedule the sexy time arrangement to make Trunks to save the future.
