In the morning, if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now.

No but let’s talk about one. I know I need only a moisturizer and a cleanser. My skin used to be oily but it’s been pretty clear lately. Do you have any recommendations?
Aaron Rogers
yeah, no chemicals on my skin
Julian Rogers
bump frens we are all gonna make it
Oliver Scott
This edit took me longer than it should have for the amount of edits it has
I use a prescribed cleanser at night, a moisturizer and a different prescribed cleanser in the morning, and an over the counter cleanser in the shower.

The rune flag was aesthetically superior

also interested in the flag
Samuel Perez
An Anarcho-communist flag.
Gavin Campbell
Anarcho-communist the sticker is syndicalist, specifically the fictional kind of syndicalist from kaiserreich. I would have done the anarcho-syndicalist flag for consistency but that takes more than just a diagonal line

I need help talking to a girl. I just don't know how to just like start texting her.
If you're naturally oily, use aztec clay mask once a week. Despite being oily you can still be dehydrated. So be sure the moisturizer you use is formulated for your skin type. The ordinary is pretty good and inexpensive.
Ryan Thomas
FORD method FORD stands for "Family," "Occupation," "Recreation" and "Dreams." Use the FORD method in conversations by asking questions about these topics when talking to others. This technique can be used in settings ranging from blind dates to business dinners, to help others feel comfortable talking about themselves.
Xavier Sullivan
don't overthink it, a simple "what's up?" is fine how would you text a male friend? just do the same.
Bentley Ortiz
Alright Jow Forums you fucking niggers, I'm finally doing it I went to the gym tonight for the first time with my buddy I re-up my library card to become more /lit/ I started drinking a gallon of water a day I've switched my hobby from vidya (though I do still play a few multiplayer rounds with the boys) to finance and watching the market
My only vices are unironically that sweet sweet Monster Zero Ultra (I have maybe 3-4 a week) and I like to munch on shit, so I eat a fuck ton of dry cereal
are there any healthier alternatives to these? Also anything else I need to be doing to finally be on the full /sig/ track
Jayden Edwards
Everything is made up of chemicals user. The word Chemicals is the straw man hippies use like “assault rifle” or “processed”
But if you wanna be all natural use Vaseline, burts bees skin care products, aloe Vera gel, and hand made bar soaps. Also go no shampoo and clean yourself with cold water after getting out of a sauna/steam room for the best natural skin care routine
Additionally, stop touching your face, stop touching your hair, stop sleeping face down, and stop having a bad diet
just made a batch of homemade soap with my boys it's pretty easy and it works

Honestly I tried that an I failed. I didn't get enough sleep and I failed tests. The stress reduced my gains and made me unable to eat. I would like to be able to do that but at the moment it's costing me money to fuck up. I think the first step of recognizing how to do something good is recognize what you can't do.
Nicholas Nelson
If you aren't trying to lose weight eat nuts and drink tea. If you need sugar eat fruit. It's not healthier but it does have fiber and some vitamins. Don't worry so much about drinking that much water. If you feel bloated and gross maybe cut back.
Just a quick question. How effective is working out muscles throughout the day (3 sets of something then 3 hours laters you workout a different muscle) vs working out the normal way in one workout.
Grayson Kelly
I'm not sure why you're asking us this. You want our validation? Our endorsement? How much does that mean to you?
Kevin Edwards
Ur skin is not oily
I thought the same and most men do it’s actually that u have super dry skin like all men, just use moisturizer wento a dermatologist for this
Have clear perfect skin since
Elijah Rivera
That allows you to edge your muscles and builds them up to a bigger orgasm later on. Good way to practice delayed gratification.
Daniel Davis
Yes, you know I want your validation. That's what this thread is about. Give it or don't. Maybe someone else will.

you need to feel fear whenever you're fucking off, just think about your life in ten years, if you continue your patterns of behaviour

>posting politics in /sig/ >posting religion in /sig/ What kind of a sad faggot is so insecure that they have to push their agenda here? Don't you have enough confidence to hold your beliefs without trying to brainwash others to it? Get back to your containment board.
Tyler Bell
Depends, do you want to be well rounded to impress normies or to have a good stance to get somewhere in life?
Oliver Gonzalez
The second.
Hudson Rodriguez
For me that would be getting social/soft skills. Being able to handle people is too important to neglect that. To understand the human psychology / behaviour. Why people do what they do, react the way they do to certain things.
Then it depends waht exactly you want in life. Getting into politics? Starting your own business? Want a certain position in a company?
Camden Morales
Friendly reminder that if you have to use your race as a crutch to feel better about yourself, you're always going to need people of different race around you.
This is completely opposite of being self-reliant.

Why are tradfags so obsessed with farming? Even in the middle of nowhere there are thousands of more interesting professions.
Aaron Howard
It's not specifically about farming but about subsistence and feeding yourself through your own efforts rather than popping down to the supermarket.
After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.

They are city-kids that have no idea about actually living off the land so they romanticize the shit out of it. They are afraid of dealing with the real world so they want an escape but Vidya is too obvious ( and normal ) so they come up with a fantasy. And since it's Jow Forums, the fantasy MUST be """""different"""" from mainstream to make them feel like speshul lil' snowflakes. Since what would they be if they didn't maintain that self-image of "non-normie"? They might actually have to deal with their issues and that's way too much effort.
Angel Evans
Ex. doomer here. How do I get rid of these dark circles under my eyes?
Thanks to whoever suggested trying nofap while quitting weed. I don't know why, but the two actually work together pretty good. I'd probably be trying to arrange for another quarter bag by now, normally.
The only thing I'm struggling with now is sleep. Any tips for getting better sleep, anons? I keep waking up at random hours and haven't felt this tired in a long time.
