Yes!!! Was nodding along to all of this, but all of this yes!! Also it’s difficult for me to not strongly correlate my self worth or success with my levels of productivity, it’s not kind though is it.You’ve reminded me that organising and sorting makes me feel a lot better, and a lot more in control. I realised the last time I organised my kitchen, about a month ago, that so much good stuff hides away in the backs of cupboards and drawers. Once I’d got it all out, we did some cutesy family meal planning, and there was so much that I felt the food anxiety fade off a bit. I haven’t moved all day today. I’m somehow immobilized by the stress, but I’m going to give myself some small tasks to get me going.
Back on food topic. We have so many beautiful cook books, and used to quite often spend a Sunday evening looking through with the children and deciding what to make/have during the week. I think we should do this today. I need a focus
Tinned mackerel is alright. Bit oily (unless you got it in brine?) and soft. I love smoked mackerel. You can get that pretty cheap. I’ve never heard of tinned mushrooms and that sounds rank. Then again I hate mushrooms anyway. They’re what I imagine a slug would be like texture-wise.Also I bought some tinned mackerel to do those Miguel tacos again as it’s sooo much cheaper than fresh, it’s alright isn’t it? It’s not one of those things where it’s a third of the price cos it’s fucking savage is it? Like tinned mushrooms
Ooh, can you post the recipe?Yes!!! Was nodding along to all of this, but all of this yes!! Also it’s difficult for me to not strongly correlate my self worth or success with my levels of productivity, it’s not kind though is it.

This may sound counterproductive but when my skin was going through a massive oily stage, I read that using an oil cleanser helps. Your oily skin is producing excess sebum which won’t be budged by water-based cleanser. So for science reasons I don’t understand, using an oil cleanser seems to balance your skin out and stops you producing more oil than it needs. I started doing an oil cleanse once a week and my excess greasiness stopped.I have a huge pot of beef stew on for dinner
My skin & hair recently have started becoming greasy. I dont know why?! I had terrible skin up until having the kids (late 20s), but its been fine since. The last 2 weeks its now oily and my hair is getting greasy again quickly. Normally gets greasy after like 2/3 days usually but now its almost straight away??
Skin is so weird! I'll give that a go. Its so strange.

Can’t help with the hair because mine is bleached to hell.

Ive been using Simple moisturising face wash actually, only thing different ive used. Always figured they were gentle but maybe its that? Its weird. It hasnt been oily in years. With hair, id leave it a good 4 or 5 days between washes now and rarely condition itEdit: HOPE (not hole) the fraus and loved ones are all well this evening
@Flumps hope you and Mr Flumps are doing ok today
@Begborrowsteal im useless with skin (*accidental creepy sentence*).
If you use a harsh cleanser/exfoliator without moisturiser then your skin can start to up oil production to try and 'save you' from your skin drying out, so be careful if you use anything like that to try and combat oiliness, try and use a lightweight moisturiser after cleansing, and like with hair, give your skin some time to adapt to a changing routine - may take a week or two to rebalance.
With hair only advice i can give is to condition only the middle to ends of your hair not the scalp, and don't shampoo every day (same principle, if you strip oils out of hair scalp will try to rebalance) use dry shampoo on your 'off day' instead see if that helps (assuming of course that you're not already doing that)
Annoyingly, everyone's skin and hair is a bit unique so one routine won't fit all. Hope you find the skincare/haircare that works for you! (I have the opposite problem - dry skin - which i appreciate is a lot easier cause i know the answer is just "slap a load of moisture on and stop forgetting to use night cream you pillock")
I’ve been watching.If anyone needs cheering up, there's a segment on Countryfile RN about a girl and her support dog. He's a very clever boy.
I was the same regarding skin. Not acne but constant outbreaks until I had my first child when it 'righted' itself. In recent years I have realised my skin is dehydrated and not dry and The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid (about £6 and not an acid as such but it brings molecules of water into your skin by magic).I have a huge pot of beef stew on for dinner

I was always so jealous of women like you! Before lockdown my hair needed washing every other day, and I mean NEEDED it was pretty much sliding off my scalp for the grease. Since lockdown I wash it once a week tops and even then it’s not as greasy as it used to be! Is it possible the outside triggers that much grease?! What the fuck is out thereLove a bit of witch hazel, thank you!
