I was wondering if anyone knows which bank offers the highest overdraft limit on a standard debit card?
The folks over at Chase won't even consider it if you're working under a fixed-term contract.🤷

Plus, I guess that workout routine isn't exactly hitting the mark for what you're actually trying to achieve.

Since you clearly know way more than I do, maybe you could put together a routine or just give me some pointers... basically, I'm looking to bulk up my chest and shoulders a bit and put on some weight...

So, I hit up Walmart earlier today and picked up some Whey and some muesli to mix together.
I actually started working out about two weeks ago—nothing too crazy or intense yet, just mostly doing sets of 50 pushups and 50 squats with some dumbbells. My main goal is just trying to pack on some muscle mass because, honestly, being 6'3" and only weighing 155 lbs feels pretty pathetic.
I guess my question is, how long does it usually take before I might actually see some kind of results from adding these proteins into the mix?

I wouldn't advise dipping into an overdraft if I were you. Honestly, I think pretty much any major bank, like JPMorgan Chase, will let you go into the negative by about a hundred bucks on a standard debit card anyway

They'll send the order off to a wholesaler like Medical intertrada, and since it's being imported from somewhere like Austria or Germany, I guess you're looking at about a three-week wait before your cream actually shows up... just make sure you check the price beforehand, because, well, you're the one footing the bill.

Nice, thanks!

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can pick up a product—maybe a cream or a lotion—that actually has 5% benzoyl peroxide in it? I’ve already wasted time driving around to a few different CVS Pharmacies in Miami, but I haven't had any luck finding it. I'd rather not burn through any more gas just wandering aimlessly around town, so I figured I'd ask you guys first.
The usual culprit, obviously: acne.
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Living,

Gel doesn't moisturize your hair; it actually dries it out. It sticks to your scalp and clogs up your pores. Your skin basically can't breathe and starts dying off, which is why that dead layer flakes away.

So, what’s more important to you: how your hair looks or having a healthy scalp?

Wash your hair every day. Rinse it really well so there isn't any leftover shampoo. Don't use a blow dryer and stop touching your head with your hands. Stick to one specific shampoo consistently (your scalp needs to adjust, and then the shampoo will actually start working effectively). If you follow this, your problem should pretty much resolve itself...

That’s exactly it—those flakes mostly form right on the scalp. Look, having a healthy scalp is absolutely my top priority, but I can't exactly go out on a date with my girlfriend when my hair is a total mess. And you can only imagine how bad short, spiky hair looks once it dries out naturally. 👎
By the way, I don't use a blow dryer, and I wash my hair almost every day, sometimes every other day.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Hey there,

So, I'm dealing with this hair situation. Basically, right after I wash it, everything seems totally fine—no itching, no flakes. But then, by the very next day, my scalp starts getting that annoying itch and dandruff begins popping up in specific spots. It’s not everywhere, just certain patches on my head. On top of that, I've noticed I'm losing quite a bit of hair lately.
My hair is pretty short, dry, and coarse, so I usually rely on hair gel just to keep things from sticking out in every single direction.
I wonder if the gel might actually be part of the problem? I've been using stuff from Nivea and Taft, but honestly, I haven't noticed much of a difference.
I feel like I've tried almost every shampoo under the sun, from Head & Shoulders and Sunsilk to Vichy, but nothing really sticks. I even used Nizoral for a while, which actually worked pretty well, but the second I stopped using it, the old problems came right back.
Maybe I should just ditch the hair gel altogether and see if something else works better.
I'd really appreciate any advice you guys might have.👍

So, you guys are recommending La Roche-Posay, okay. I guess I'll pick some up and see how it actually works for me.
By the way, I tried Dove today and it isn't half bad, but it definitely dries my skin out quite a bit—I get that tight feeling on my face afterward. Still, it feels really gentle, I suppose.

Thanks for the tip, but I’ve never stepped foot in a dermatologist's office and honestly, I don't plan to. I’m just not a fan of doctors in general. I guess you could say I prefer to be my own doctor.
Anyway 😘

Look, I’m not necessarily hunting for just a bar of soap—any kind of cleanser will do, I guess.
My skin gets incredibly oily; honestly, whenever I touch my face, it feels like I've just slathered on a layer of grease. Using soap used to do the trick perfectly fine, but the effect is always so fleeting... maybe half a day at most before the shine comes back.
I think I'll give Dove a shot and see how it goes.

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a daily face wash that’s actually gentle enough to not cause a massive breakout or irritation. My skin is incredibly sensitive; I used to deal with some pretty aggressive acne, which has mostly cleared up now, but I’m still left with the scarring. Up until lately, I’ve been using CeraVe, which isn't bad—it doesn't really strip my skin dry or anything—but I’ve noticed it irritates the skin on my neck quite a bit if I use it right after shaving. It seems fine if I wait maybe two days after a shave, but that's a hassle.
If anyone knows of a high-quality product that won't make me regret my life choices...

Thanks
