  • The only colour combinations I find ugly on most people, are when muted/dusty shades are paired with vibrant ones.

    Light blue jeans with dark (un-scuffed) black footwear is a good example of this, and the only people who can make this combination look flattering have very cool and very bright complexions.

    Speaking of this, get someone you trust and who can see colour well, to tell you whether you have a warm, neutral, or cool undertone to your complexion because wearing the wrong colours will clash with your undertone and this will make you look disheveled or unwell, depending on how badly you’re clashing.

    So for white guys (which I’m assuming most of you are) your undertome is whether your skin looks more pink, more yellow, or if it’s neutral/neither.

    If you’re more pink you’re cool toned, so stay away from warm colours.

    More yellow and you should stay away from cool colours.

    Neutral/neither most often comes with a more muted complexion but you will probably lean slightly warm or cool too, so mostly bright/vivid colours should be avoided and then which ever way you lean, avoid it’s opposite.

    For other ethnicities, deeper complexions are not automatically ‘warm’ and your respective undertones will usually be different from pink/yellow, but the warm/cool/neutral is still how it works.

    If anybody is does not have someone to ask about their undertone, if you share a picture (taken in natural lighting!) of your lower face and neck down to the collarbone, one side is fine, I should be able to tell you.

    Obviously though if you have a beard or skin condition like intense rosacia or heavy port wine markings, I won’t be able to see through that.

    I honestly don’t understand how people in the food and animal agriculture industries, people who know just how poor the hygeine standards usually are and how terrible the quality of life for the ‘product’ is, can still eat stuff harvested from these animals.

    And the toxic bio waste from these farms is spread over feilds as ‘fertiliser’ that poisons the land, destroys the nearby water sources, and sickens the people who eat the vegetables.

    This toxic bio waste is also fed to other animals, ‘chicken litter’ is the shit and dropped feathers scraped up from industrial chicken farms and it’s sold as cow feed ffs. Pigs are fed ground up refuse food waste, plastic packaging and rot and all.

    And if you work in kitchens, you will have seen the pus filled absesses in the pork and beef, and the bloated, broken chicken legs with their discoloured burns from where the hens grew so fast their legs broke under them and couldn’t move out of their own excrement anyway because their cages are so small.

    How can people know this and still consider eating these diseased and tortured animals for food? Let alone good food.

    Ugh, sorry for ranting, this is just so fucking disgusting and I can’t comprehend how people keep eating like this and supporting these practices.

    Edit: I will try the salt water thawing for the soy beans in my freezer, thank you for the tip!
