The wiki holds your hand through it so it's pretty easy.

Since my last comment here I've lost the habit of doing my skincare ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Any tips for building consistency?

What's a motor bozo?

[โ€“] berryjam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Decided to get this one + the curl cream!

It's tempting to drown yourself in entertainment/escapism, but try to do 1 hard effortful thing a day. Things like studying, working out, etc.

Thanks! I've heard good things about their curl cream too.

Cool, thanks anyway :)

Thanks :) and thanks for specifically calling out the costco one, lol, I was looking at what options they had just now. Any experience with this one? https://www.costco.com/super-nature-potent-aloe-gentle-moisture-shampoo%2c-30-fl-oz.product.100948045.html

I've seen shampoo bars, I think this brand, at whole foods before ๐Ÿค” I'll check the ingredients next time. Thanks!

It wouldn't work for me (long hair) but thanks for sharing :)

 

Please recommend me a shampoo! I have long 2b/2c wavy hair. I currently use tresemme flawless curls shampoo+conditioner 2x/week. I'm looking to start using a gentle shampoo more often now that it's summer and I'm working out 6 days a week.

US drugstore brands preferred but I wouldn't mind driving to a cosmetics store to stock up. :)

(I hope it's okay to post here - the hair communities I could find are all inactive.)

Hi, I am looking to build my first PC. It will be for general use (web browsing, programming, office work; no gaming).

Here is my part list: PCPartPicker

I based it on the Logical Increments minimum tier. I will be using Arch Linux for the OS.

Some questions...

  1. How painful is it to update the motherboard BIOS?
  2. Am I missing anything obvious? I'm unsure if I need a sound card, for example. Newegg says this motherboard has a wifi and bluetooth module. Is there anything else I should consider getting?
  3. Is there a way to check if any of the parts will not work/be incompatible with my chosen OS? I've never had a problem with Linux drivers on any of my laptops, so I'm fairly confident it will be fine, but I still want to make sure.

Thanks :)

Edit: ~~I made an updated list based on your suggestions~~ New updated link

 

Right now, mine is buying the fancy expensive dark chocolate ๐Ÿซ

 

I've been thinking of setting some goals for the month. I lost my primary hobby (temporarily ๐Ÿคž), so I've just been reading and spending ungodly amounts of time on Lemmy & Reddit. I want to spend my time in a more healthy and fulfilling way...

What are some goals you all are working towards? What are your hobbies that make you feel fulfilled? What's something that makes you look forward to the (near) future?

 

Living in a place with carpeted floors for the first time. What kind of cleaning routine should I have to keep the carpet clean?

 

Hi all, I've been lifting for about half a year and following 5/3/1 for most of that time. I will be traveling a lot for a 6-month period; at best I will have sporadic access to hotel gyms. My goal during this time is to maintain strength and work on cardio/conditioning.

And so, I am thinking that I should probably switch to bodyweight exercises, starting with the routine from Hybrid Calisthenics. I am not very strong (all 5/3/1 training maxes are 100lb or less) so I think I can make some progress with only bodyweight. When I do get access to dumbbells, I can do many of the movements weighted.

Are there any other/better options that I may be overlooking, both for the type of exercise (calisthenics) and the specific routine?

Any advice would be appreciated. TIA :)

 

Is it okay to do so?

Also, what if it's connected to a machine, like a smith machine or maxrack?

 

Hello, I hope this type of post is allowed here.

I'm a beginner lifter and my budget is ~$50 (USD). Any possibility of finding good lifting shoes around this price point, or am I going to have to shell out more money? :')

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

For people whose primary fitness activity is lifting or sports: how much cardio do you do? Specifically, what do you do, for how long, and how often?

My primary fitness activity is a sport (recreational, 3x a week), with lifting 2-3x a week. I'm trying to do more LISS cardio outside of these for general cardiovascular health and possibly improved stamina.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies, y'all!
