I know most people associate LUSH Cosmetics with white girls and bath bombs but products from this beautiful company have faded my scars and stretch marks, completely gotten rid of my acne, fixed my dry skin problems, thickened my eyelashes, laid my edges, made my hair grow like crazy… I can go on and on. I’ve actually never tried the bath bombs, but their skincare and haircare products work magic.

I was asked to list the rest of the products I currently have in my possession, so here y’all go!
FACE / HAIR STUFF
Magical Moringa Facial Moisturizer Oh my lordy. Let me tell y'all about this stuff. It’s marketed as a moisturizer but I use it as a primer because when you put this on your face, it’s completely matte. Like completely. All day. And it will lock your makeup in place like no other. You can sweat in it, swim in it, whatever. Shit won’t budge. Ever.
Jason & the Argan Oil Shampoo Bar Amazing for volumizing. It made the three bundles in my head look more like five when I used this thing the first time, I kid you not. Also gives your hair a really natural shine. I only use it when I really need a volume boost, otherwise it’s just too much.
No Drought Dry Shampoo If you have a weave, you need this stuff. Period. A lot of times, the natural oils in our scalps (referring to my fellow black women here) are too heavy for Brazilian, Peruvian, etc hair, and so it’s easy for weave to get weighed down between washes. Shake this stuff in your hair, brush it out - bam, flow city.
Honey Trap Lip Balm My favorite lip balm, ever. Really improves the texture of your lips and seals in moisture. However, this is not for fixing chapped lips - use Ultrabalm for that first, and then this to prevent them from chapping again. Also, pro-tip, if you apply it before liquid lipstick, your lipstick won’t crease or dry out all day.
MASSAGE BARS
Strawberry Feels Forever Smells like fresh strawberries! Has a much thinner consistency than the other massage bars, so it can be used every day, like a solid lotion.
Soft Coeur Smells like chocolate and honey, and is ridiculously moisturizing. More heavy-duty than the other bars, so I like to only use this one on spots like my knees, heels, and elbows.
From Dusk til Dawn The shape of this one is amazing. It’s shaped like a cone, so it gives a deep massage when you’re using it. Definitely recommend if you have any sort of muscle pain.
SCRUBS
The Rough with the Smooth This stuff smells soooo good. Like cotton candy. I use it before I shave because it really does an amazing job at removing any dead skin and it doesn’t leave a residue, so it won’t clog your razor. However, it’s a sugar scrub, so it melts super quickly.
Ocean Salt This is a heavy-duty scrub. Really amazing if you have dry, flaky skin, and the healing properties of the salt are really great if you have acne. It’ll dry it up and heal it super quick.
Cup o’ Coffee Face & Body Mask I’m on my fourth jar of this already. The coffee beans are ground up just enough to give a deep, yet gentle scrub and the caffeine in the bar really does wake up your skin and make it look brighter. Great for the morning.
Buffy It smells like a vacation, that’s really the only way to describe it. It’s an exfoliant bar and body butter mixed together, so you rub it all over while you’re still in the shower, and then rinse the sand off. After, rub the oils in and pat dry. No need for lotion after because it seals in the moisture from your shower.
SHOWER GELS / JELLIES
Rose Jam Shower Gel Smells like roses and has a really bubbly lather. More cleansing than moisturizing. I like to use it before a more moisturizing soap because it’s great for removing dirt and oil from the skin.
The Olive Branch Shower Gel A long-time favorite of mine. Great for dry skin, as it has a really creamy lather versus a bubbly one. Also, the smell is very calming and lingers for a long time.
Needles & Pines Shower Jelly It’s a solid shower gel (consistency of jello), and it smells like Christmas trees! I like to store it in the fridge and use it when it’s hot outside, super cleansing and refreshing.
SOAPS:
Roses All the Way Personal favorite! Smells like roses & vanilla ice cream. Super moisturizing and so, so creamy. Definitely buy if you suffer from dry skin.
Yog Nog Very moisturizing and the scent lingers for a really long time. Smells like snickerdoodles and eggnog.
Bohemian Not at all creamy, as it’s an exfoliating soap. It’s great to use on dark spots like knees and armpits because the exfoliants soften the skin and the lemon juice evens out your skintone. Smells like lemons.
Karma Another favorite. It has a super thin consistency but is still very moisturizing, so it’s a good shaving soap because it won’t gunk up your razor. Smells like incense and patchouli.
Figs & Leaves Smells like dirt and grass, in a good way. Super cleansing. As in your skin will literally squeak after using it, so I recommend using an in-shower moisturizer like King of Skin after using it.
OTHER:
Atomic Toothy Tabs Solid toothpaste that you crush up in your mouth. It sounds weird but these things are phenomenal. They really leave your teeth squeaky clean, and are the sole reason my teeth are so white - I don’t use any whitening products. This particular kind smells like cloves and cinnamon.
Ultrabalm All Purpose Balm This stuff is amazing. It’s an all-over balm for rough spots. I use it in the winter time on my hands and lips, because they get dry. I also use it year round on my face where I get dry spots, as it doesn’t clog pores.
Silky Underwear Dusting Powder Another holy grail. If you could turn cocoa butter into a powder, this would be it. It’s not drying like baby powder, it’s more silky (it’s also talc-free). I use it between my legs to prevent chafing and under my boobs when it’s hot outside to prevent sweating.
This is actually so helpful because a lot of times I go into lush and I just end up getting pink things and things that smell good because I don’t know what other products are worth purchasing!
Grell appreciation post
Things that need to be appreciated about the blood red reaper a bit more:
- She’s a canon transgender person
- Luscious hair… So beautiful
- Very strong and resilient in fights and in her work
- Very smart (A average)
- Lovely taste in shoes
Things that we should imagine her doing:
- Grell, waking up in the morning at 5 AM to work out. She beats up a punching bag and does 100 pushups and situps to keep herself in shape and keep up her stamina
-Grell taking a long hot bath with her hair up in a towel after a long day, soaking in water with sparkles and pink tones from her rose bath bomb
-Grell testing nail polish colors on Ronald (and him loving it)
-Grell, French braiding Her hair and wearing a large sunhat and overall shorts so she can tend to her little garden where she grows roses in the spring and pumpkins in the fall (on her day off, of course)
-Grell, calling Ronald and crying because she’s lonely on valentines day. Ronald leaving his party to come to her house to wipe her tears, eat chocolate dipped strawberries, and watch ‘sex in the city’ on repeat.
-Grell crying softly as Ronald graduates reaper academy, because she’s so proud
-Grell singing quietly to a German love song as she dances through the kitchen, making breakfast for herself (or a guest.. ♥)
-Grell. Just her as she is, a beautiful, strong woman.
I love grell sutcliff more than I love myself. She is the sun and the moon and the stars.
Transition process 2016-2018
From the day I came out

To my first short haircut in years

And then to “Wait uh maybe THIS is how short boys wear their hair”

To the beanie in hoodie phase that I thought would help me be more masculine, when it actually made me look like a butch lesbian

Then I dyed my hair blue because that happens to every trans person, for some reason??

But after that I said fuck you hair and did this

And as of yesterday, I’m daddy as fuck~

so that was a fucking adventure, and this was just a summary and very few of my selfies.
So @tired-town and I are teaming up to bring you lovelies some gorgeous designs. Look for #sleepingfoxes designs to see our teamwork!
Hi all-
I got this art from @okelleok during Midoricon. I had to because I was dressed up as Jasper and it is gorgeous art. So show out to the awesome art of Okelleok!
Shameless use of my craft store position. Art art art art art art. All the pretty art to decorate my waalllls
In case no one told you growing up
- Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.
- If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)
- Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.
- You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)
- Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.
- Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.
- To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.
- Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.
- Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.
- If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.
- Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.
- After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.
- Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.
- Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.
To all the kids whose parents couldn’t help you with this kind of stuff
Addition: the natural acidity of a vagina can bleach the gusset on darker underwear. It’s perfectly normal.

I made some Sanders Sides for myself bc why not
Anxiety (Lucah)
He’s always there, he doesn’t even need to pop up. Kaz will say, “Anxiety?” and he’ll already be there going: “Huh?” No one likes him too well, but his outgoing personality makes him easy to be around; even if he is a huge pessimist.
Appearance: Pink jumper, many pink flower hair clips, black leggings, galaxy converse Kaz tried to throw away in 6th grade but “they’re just so pretty!”, blue hair; shaved on one side, shoulder length on the other, enjoys wearing makeup sometimes.
Personality: A huge downer, somehow never shuts the hell up, always has to get the last word, very outgoing, usually always energetic, confusing…very confusing.
Logic (Maroon)
Huh? Oh, were you saying something? He uh…wasn’t paying attention. Maroon is typically sleeping and the other sides aren’t too sure if he exists. Whenever he does show up, however, it seems he has quite a bit of beef with Triton, though neither talks about why they’re so pissy with each other. He seems like he could be a nice dude if he weren’t always lazy or making excuses.
Appearance: Messy orange hair, it’s almost waist length because he’s too lazy to cut it, it is shaved on one side however which made him very upset despite Kaz trying to explain he didn’t know his haircut would affect ALL of the sides, he always wears the same unicorn onsie and no one’s even sure he changes or washes it, he does not wear shoes and though he should be wearing glasses; he doesn’t because he tends to fall asleep just about anywhere. When he is in action and motivated; he is wearing a grey beanie with motivational quote pins, a button up long sleeve striped blue shirt, khakis, an essential oils planet bracelet, and black combat boots because he thinks it looks “professional”. Sometimes his hair will be up in a ponytail when he’s sure he won’t sleep for a while. But still, no glasses. Never glasses.
Personality: Very lazy, very cautious, always tired, usually sleepy, a bit of a hot head when he doesn’t get what he wants, sometimes judgmental but he knows his place.
Morality (Ethan)
Ethan is the middle child of the group, no one wants to acknowledge his existence but he’s still there and very annoying. He lashes out at anyone for saying anything, and will cry at slight criticism. Ethan tends to lean more towards Lucah when hanging out or talking with the other sides. He speaks in a low tone that is mainly mumbles and never has anything good to say ever. A few things are able to bring a small smile to his face, but most of the time he scowls at existence.
Appearance: Black beanie, dark grey hoodie, red long sleeved shirt, camouflage cargo pants that Kaz really seems to enjoy, his hair is the same style and length as Kaz’s and because they seem to dress and act similar; the only way to really tell them apart is by Kaz’s slouched, scared stance and Ethan’s confident, cocky stance. He wears black tennis shoes but sometimes forgets he has to wear them, and has sometimes gone outside forgetting them. When in a rare happy mood, he wears a grey hoodie with cat ears on it, and puts his glasses on. He wears ripped blue jeans, and socks because fuck shoes. His hair will be in a ponytail going over his shoulder, and in this state he tends to ramble and talk more to Triton.
Personality: Sad, depressed even, always gloomy. Yeah, basically he’s not a happy camper. He enjoys bitching, moaning, and whining about everything. The choices Kaz wants to make are always “wrong” because Ethan would rather be dead than have Kaz try to drag him around and get him to be happy.
Creativity (Triton)
Oh, is that a camera? Great! He hates those. Yep, despite being almost in the same boat as Roman Sanders, this little shit seems to HATE attention of any kind unless he’s on a stage or posting about something. He pushes Kaz to be daring, accomplish his dreams, do whatever he wants, and die a FUCKING HERO! There’s just…one problem. Kaz listens more to Maroon, who is a very lazy fuck that never wants to execute Triton’s ideas because they’re “hard”. Triton’s true dream for Kaz is to become the world’s BEST actor, singer, world’s handsomest man, best writer, best director, best editor, EVERYTHING! Yet, Maroon seems to be the one taking the shots because he’s Logic. Triton despises Maroon because of this; and more often than not they’re fighting, bitching, and screaming at each other.
Appearance: Black hoodie with the hoodie over his head, a black surgeon mask with a cartoon bear snout in the middle, grey sweatpants, and Adidas. It’s unknown whether or not he wears glasses because he has brown hair that always covers both of his eyes. The length is also unknown, but everyone has theorized that it’s SUPER long.
Personality: The same as roman sanders, but he’s a lot shyer, Triton never EVER ever shuts up except when Maroon is around, he has to be treated like royalty and is a huge narcissist that boosts Kaz’s ego a bit more than he probably should.
Deceit (Conrad)
Conrad is a mysterious but oddly welcoming creature. He likes to be a sunshine and rainbows type of guy that is telling wonderful stories and encouraging Ethan and Lucah that life is great and they shouldn’t feel the way they do. He’s cheerful and twirly which raises a few eyebrows; he’s not like everyone else, that’s for sure. Conrad isn’t sure what he’s done wrong, but Ethan always keeps Conrad away from Kaz by yelling at him or shoving him. Ethan’s words really hurt Conrad but that doesn’t stop him from telling everyone that everything’s gonna be okay, and they’re just over reacting, and eating three brownies is fine, and that bloody bruise is just fine without a band-aid!
Appearance: Purple elbow length hair tied in to a neat braid, a red scarf tied around his snake eye in case it might scare the others, a Mystery Skulls Lewis shirt because it’s Kaz’s favorite shirt, sesame street pajama pants because they’re just the CUTEST in everyone’s opinion, the same shoes as Ethan which pisses Ethan the hell off, and an hourglyph bracelet to really tie together a welcoming look.
Personality: Despite his exterior having everyone put their guard down, Ethan can see what others can’t. Conrad is evil, and manipulative. He wants everyone to have high, happy hopes, so that they’ll get hurt easier and will be put in to even more danger. He wants everyone to think life is perfect and amazing and that nothing can go wrong so that no one listens to Ethan, and Maroon’s next. He’s good at lying on the spot and is a REMARKABLE actor. But even though everyone seems to love him and listen to his advice, Lucah is starting to see Ethan’s point.
