(Part 2) Top products from r/BeautyAddiction

It's actually really awesome cardio! :) It's totally a great workout for someone like me who hates running, and I've seen some studies say it's just as effective as getting out for a jog (but TBH most of those studies were published by jump-roping advocacy groups so who knows, lol).

Haha that's okay, I didn't know either! Are you in the UK or stateside? This is the bestselling one on Amazon, and only $7! If you're short like me you can pop the handles off and get the rope to your ideal length. Haha. I also believe Target has them!

I own aquariums and have cats and dogs (I used to have rats! RIP Margo and Lilac). I am also a nurse, so I am constantly washing my hands.

• Don't use alcohol based hand sanitizers.
  
  
• Get a moisturizing hand soap for home (I use softsoap, its pretty cheap).
  
  
• I use these gloves when I am rearranging/cleaning out my aquarium to protect my skin from the chemicals.
  
  
• This hand cream is awesome. Even if you just apply it in the morning when you wake up, and at night before bed, you will notice a difference. Its small enough that I can keep it in my scrub pockets and apply it after washing my hands every once in a while throughout the day.
  
  
• You can slather your hands in moisturizer/vaseline before bed and put on some gloves like these while you sleep. I have tried it a few times, and it makes my hands soft, but it feels weird to sleep with gloves on.
  
  
• You could try using something like New-Skin on your hangnails instead of band aids to protect them from bacteria while they heal. They are less unsightly and the rats are less likely to pick them off.
  
  Those are all the tips I can think of right now! Hopefully something in there is useful!

Get the WetBrush! It's super cheap and doesn't rip out all your hair. Best purchase in a while!

Round brush - I use this one by Cricket. I've had it for about a year and a half and I really like it. I went with the 2" as my hair is pretty limp at times but I know my mom uses a smaller 1" barrel by them and is happy with it.

I've been using this one and I've had zilch issues with it transferring on my pillows! It definitely stained my hands and sink putting it on, but it moved with dishwashing liquid nearly right away, and I haven't noticed it staining anything else. I had a bath to rinse it yesterday, and my bathwater definitely went pink, but my bath itself and my hair didn't! It's a very low ratio of dye to conditioner, which I think might be why.

EDIT: It definitely did stain my towel though! That was the only victim.

I loved this! For the deodorant, the only aluminum free one that worked for me was Lavilin deodorant (http://www.amazon.com/Lavilin-Underarm-Deodorant-Cream-12-5/dp/B0013OXEFU). It's a cream so it's kind of a hassle to put on.

For the sunscreen do you mind a whitecast?

I have a large barreled Revlon curler. For reference, I have lots of thin, very straight hair. The Revlon curler gets plenty hot enough (I keep it on like 50%). I have a 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch barreled curling irons from them and like them just fine.

ETA: I have this one. http://www.amazon.com/Revlon-Perfect-1inch-Curling-Styling/dp/B00005CDSQ

THIS GUY! Though I got it off Amazon through KORIN (I SWEAR it was sold out through Chef's Knives to Go when I made the decision to buy it last week, otherwise I would've bought it there -- I love those horrible, horrible enablers), and I'm not sure what I ordered comes with the adorable plum flower design. They didn't specify!

I have this guy and this guy.

The nine incher is a little bit excessive for tiny little me to use for certain projects, so I wanted an eight inch knife, and I also wanted to transition into carbon steel. They're easier to sharpen, hold their edge better, and the extra maintenance needed is moot because I already clean my knife blade between veg. Usually. I'll have to upgrade that to "always," but it won't be much of a change. I almost never use my santoku anymore.

Also, silly me, I forgot to grab a ceramic honer. Gr.

Just chiming in. There are "hair donuts" you can buy specifically for this purpose, but you can also cut the toe out of a sock, roll it up, and use it inside your bun. This method will make the bun bigger, more shapely, and easier to secure.

Something else you might try is a texturizer. It makes your hair more voluminous and less slippery.

Four nails?! Oh no :( Have you ever tried OPI Nail Envy? Stuff works pretty well.

And 30 minutes a week on nails are definitely realistic! I take out a time every Saturday or Sunday to work on my nails ranging from 30 minutes to longer depending on the design I want to do.

I love the Clio liner as well! Amazon usually has them for around $14, sometimes with Prime shipping (here is one with Prime for $15.50), but some listings do ship from Asia and take about 3 weeks to arrive.

something like this?

I believe they are just called hair pins. I think you can find some on etst and Amazon

Found there. Would they work? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NJE22U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Qg4yub0KSHTNJ

Regarding long gloves...

This is the American version of hada labo. They are the same company but this is their US line. I think you are looking for this. Hope this helps!
