I’ve been struggling with acne lately and I’m really confused about what to do.
Should I go for proper treatment, or just leave it and hope it clears up naturally after 20?
Some people say it gets better with age, while others recommend early treatment to avoid scars and long-term skin issues.
What do you think is the better approach? Have you experienced something similar?
This was sooo tasty.
Edit: Recipe - the recipe feeds 4!
Cook the onion and bell pepper in the oil until the onions go soft, then add the garlic and dried spices. Cook for a few minutes on a medium heat, then add the tomatoes. Cook again for 5-10 minutes (or until the tomatoes have started to soften). Finally, add the tomato passata, and allow it to simmer for a little bit. (Not very precise, sorry!)
Then you poach your eggs in the sauce.
Salt and pepper to taste!
Enjoy!!
I know avocados are considered super healthy, but I’m curious how much is too much?
Do you guys eat a whole avocado daily or just a few slices? I’ve heard they’re high in healthy fats, but also pretty calorie-dense.
Would love to know what amount works best for a healthy diet and weight balance.

If you live in Chicago, your water needs change with the weather.
A simple rule:
Yesterday, I found out that I have faty liver, and I'm really concerned. I want to understand what could be causing this condition and what I can do to treat it or improve my liver health.
Can this be caused by using high-dose products, or are there daily routine mistakes that damage the skin earlier than expected?
Hey fellow Chicagoans! We all know the Chicago winters can be brutal freezing temps, dry air, and constant indoor heating can wreak havoc on our skin. If you have noticed your skin feeling dry, tight, or irritated lately, you are not alone! Here area few quick tips to help you keep your skin hydrated and glowing throughout the season:
1. Use a Humidifier at Home
The dry indoor air can really strip moisture from your skin. A humidifier helps add moisture back into the air and can keep your skin from getting too dry.
2. Switch to a Richer Moisturizer
Look for a moisturizer that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid ceramides. These help lock in moisture and protect your skin's barrier.
3. Don't Skip Sunscreen, Even in Winter
The sun's UV rays can still damage your skin, even when its cold and cloudy. Keep using sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day, especially if you are out for walk or heading to work.
4. Drink More Water
Hydration starts from the inside. Drinking plenty of water will help your skin maintain its natural glow, even in dry weather.
5 Take Shorter, Cooler Shower
Long, hot showers feel great in winter, but they can dry out your skin. Try to keep it short and use lukewarm water instead.
If you live in Chicago, your water needs change with the weather.
A simple rule:
If acne starts appearing on your face after the age of 18, it is better to consult a good dermatologist from the beginning. This is where most people make mistakes they start experimenting on their own. Sometimes they try different face washes, and other times different creams. But all of this can create serious problems for your skin in the future. Everyone's skin is different, so before following anyone's advice, you should first get your skin properly checked. Whatever the doctor suggests, you should follow that instead of trying random products. I am sharing this based of my personal experience. I have gone through this my self, and I don't want anyone else to face the same issue. Using different products and treatments without proper guidance can damage your skin badly, and recovery can become very difficult. So this is just a suggestion for everyone who is dealing with this problem now or might face it in the future take care of your skin and make the right decisions early.
Do I just feel this, or it real that my body is experiencing fatigue, digestive issues, laziness, and weakness because of this late night routine? If someone with experience can help, please do.
Every winter in Chicago my skin gets super dry no matter what I try nothing lasts long any real solutions that actually works?
Hey everyone! Not sure if this is the right sub, if not please point me in the right direction.
Recently I've been thinking about moving to Chicago from the Seattle area. There are lots of appeals but one major question: In your experience, does the healthcare system suck in Chicago? As in, is it possible to get care without wanting to rip your hair out? One of the driving factors for wanting to move is that I pay for top notch health insurance and it still takes weeks and weeks to get appointments for anyone I need to see, even for major injuries. Physical therapy appointments get canceled and are unavailable for weeks at a time. Mental health counseling takes months to get access to. Is this common in most major cities or is Seattle just awful?
Thanks for the insight!
