the beauty section: venus comfortglide

By -


{repurpose the flaps as mini soap bars for the guest bathroom. ooh la la!}


🧼 venus comfortglide razor – final grade: c-



+ what ruled:

  • the handle is fine, like usual venus ones i’ve had. good head, like venus usually gives 🤣
  • i will say that i did a microplane of my face real quick, def smoother.
  • changing the blade refills wasn’t too bad. took a second, but can be done.
  • my last bunny was named venus (rest in power, veenie 🐰🖤), so i always feel like it’s good luck to use venus razors.




– what sucked:



  • this “comfortglide” bullshit? yikes on bikes. 😬 what assclown marketers thought this was a good idea?? had to google and discover it was soap bars; like wtf?
  • my mustache still didn’t get all the way shaved, and it should.
  • the dumb comfort flaps or whatever got in my fuckin way.
  • the scent is okay; supposed to be white tea. it smells like coconuts or something.
  • i’m annoyed i had to pay extra for these weird-ass soap flaps because venus discontinued the beloved soleil and twilight with the fun scented jelly handles.




final opinion and grade:



  • it’s basically the same razor with a price bump and soap flaps.
  • these flappy things on the blades are a piece of assbust. i wanna rip them the fuck off. frivolous horseshit.
  • the 4 blades will last me for about a year. when the stupid shitflap ones are done, i’ll get regular ones.
  • also — “soap flaps” was my old prison nickname.

October’s Principle of Living in the Moment

By -

the principle is enjoying the present — enjoy what you have while it’s here. the darker aspects of the hare's symbolism are highlighted during the time when darkness is most prevalent. as we know, the rabbits are harbingers of messages from the underworld, of life and of death as well. the veil between realms is thin; i practice protective rituals. burning black or blue candles with your usual spiritual work should help. this month’s superstition: burning sage on the eve of samhain wards off negative spirits and ensures a peaceful winter.

upcycled gemstone protection jewelry

By -

These ethically sourced rainbow crystal amulets that I like to make are often crafted from rescue beads. I love using them to show diversity, resilience, & the beauty of each unique detail. Each shamanic charged healing talisman is energetically infused with transformative intentions, from me to the stones. When I create, I try to remember that upcycled gemstone protection jewelry pieces are more than just accessories… they're stories of resilience. Each is made from pieces discarded, overlooked, or deemed imperfect. I source these ethically, often finding them at auctions or even in the clearance bins on jewel excursions! ⭐️ Ethical sourcing is important. ⭐️ I cleanse & charge each bead individually, infusing them with positive energy. ⭐️ The energetic process is a beautiful ritual to charge the stones . ⭐️ My handmade talismans are a labor of love, transforming discarded pieces into something beautiful & meaningful. The crystal healing affirmation talismans add a touc...

the perfectly imperfect mole in the moon

there's a moon tattooed on my left arm – about the size of a roma tomato, maybe. right in the middle of it is mole i used to hate. the dermatologist sad “we can’t remove it you’ll have a scar” but i didn’t care - a scar is preferable to a rabbit turd oh my skin. my mom used to pick at it & wipe it like it was dirt that’d just come off. but the tattoo artist did what i asked. he didn't cover the mole; he incorporated it. made it part of something cute. it's a crescent moon, actually, & the mole is right in the middle of a flower perfectly in the curve almost like it was meant to be there (because it was meant to be there - built the fuck around it.) it's a metaphor, ig. those parts of ourselves we want to hide or hate? they can be transformed. integrated. made art. the mole isn't a flaw anymore – it's part of the design, part of my story. we start with what we start with. we get what we get, but most of us are indeed upset. it’s up to us to this life what...

tarot: the star

tarot card: the star -- hope, renewal, inspiration. it’s my birthday month. phyllis was puppy-like last winter. now spring has sprung and she’s mellow -- not full feral anymore. what bun summer?  when she’s mad, she thumps. when she loves something -- like loops or a pet -- she lets me make much of her. kinda. ish. her current name is cheez steak. it’s very meta.  still fighting the toxic glow-up culture -- the “love yourself” bullshit that makes pain a performance. fuck the pressure to be positive all the time. love yourself, yeah, buuutttttt hate the shit that’s real, too. and don’t fake a smile to fit in with the idiot brigade. smile for real or frown for real.  the ring i wear is named richard starkey. it’s a pavé scarab -- a dung beetle -- sacred symbol of creation from destruction. ✨ mystical poop magicks. ✨  huzzah. i can see.  zoom calls leave me utterly drained -- one day, after suppressing so much frustration i felt like i was on the ed...
