A rant-ette
Sometimes things annoy me, some a little, some a lot.
One of the things which has consistently annoyed me for many years is how people rely on things they “know” to be correct, and it simply is not. For instance, all E numbers are bad. No, actually, everything used in food has an e-number, so dont assume because something is full of e-numbers its always bad for you. Assuming chemicals in anything is bad for you when everything in the world, no matter how “natural” it is, is made of chemicals isnt too helpful really. Drinking water from a plastic bottle may be great for us, but how many of us recycle the bottle?
Also how people cut fat out of their diets, but not sugar, and then wonder why they dont lose weight. Or go to McDonalds and order a huge burger, but diet coke. No sugar in their tea, but scoff chocolate along with the steaming mug. For so long we have been told that fat is the bad thing, when actually its sugar.
The other thing which majorly annoys me is how cosmetic and toiletries companies use womens insecurities to make them buy their products. All the adverts seem to scream “buy me and be perfect”. Deep down, i know it affects me too, but to be honest, if you dont like me the way i am, tough. All it does is make you feel even more marginalised by society. Regardless, I’m not going to change for anyone, get over it. And anyway, it would take far far more than a jar of gloop to make me attractive, try spending the GDP of a small country on cosmetic surgery and we might be getting close.
The best way to look healthy, have good hair and skin, is not to rub vitamins, pro-whatsit concentrates, amino acids and all the other crap on it, but to eat healthily (and dont try to be perfect here either, the amount of hidden chemicals we consume, there really is very little point). Hair is dead, you cant nourish it.
Aaaaaand breathe………
