The Truth About Big Skincare
Corporations like these donât create products for your healthâthey create them for profit. They rely on cheap, synthetic fillers, petroleum byproducts & plant-based irritants that can inflame your skin, disrupt your hormones & keep you locked in a cycle of dependency
How Weâre Different
đŻ No fillers. No toxins. No endocrine disruptors
đŞ Only real, skin-nourishing ingredients that work with your bodyânot against it
⨠Our products are powered by tallow, the most bioavailable moisturizer for human skin, packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins & nutrients. Unlike corporate lotions that dehydrate & inflame, tallow mimics your skinâs natural oils, heals damage & supports long-term skin healthâall without synthetic junk
đŤ No petroleum byproducts. No hormone disruptors. No fake hydration
â Just real, powerful, nature-made skincare

While @DOGE is cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse, I think they should take a look into disability reform.
Right now, the system incentivizes stagnation over recoveryâbecause the moment someone improves, they risk losing their benefits. Instead of working to regain independence, theyâre trapped in a cycle where staying âdisabledâ & mooching off of taxpayersâ labor is the safer financial choice.
Every person who takes this route isnât just a lost workerâitâs another weight on productive society. Instead of contributing, theyâre subsidized to do nothing, reinforcing dependence on the state rather than self-sufficiency.
Harsh reality: government handouts donât empower peopleâthey weaken them. When incentives are skewed, human nature follows. If welfare trains people to stay out of the workforce, thatâs exactly what theyâll do.
Reform should reward recovery, not permanent dependence. If someone is physically capable of contributing in any way, the system should encourage them to do soâwhether through modified work, private sector assistance, or innovative job programs.
At the end of the day, a society that prioritizes value creation over victimhood thrives. And we should all want that
Iâd love to see DOGE & the Trump administration take serious steps toward phasing out government welfare. Some might see this as harsh, but Iâd urge you to read Murray Rothbardâhe breaks it down far better than I can
Welfare, at its core, disincentivizes productivity, fosters government dependence, and places an unfair load on taxpayers. It creates perverse incentivesârewarding joblessness, subsidizing larger families for bigger payouts, and perpetuating generational dependency rather than self-sufficiency
This isnât to say welfare should be abolished overnight, but reform is necessary to eventually transition away from state-mandated wealth redistribution. In a truly free market, private charities and businesses would compete to provide assistance, offering aid in exchange for labor or services suited to each individualâs ability
For those who are physically unable to work, there are countless ways to contribute mentally, strategically, or creatively. No system should reward idleness at the expense of productive members of society
At the end of the day, thereâs no such thing as a free lunch. Welfare doesnât upliftâit erodes personal responsibility, stifles economic growth, and traps people in a cycle of dependency. A system that rewards value creation, not victimhood, is the only path to real progress
An orange is perfectly cut into slices under the skin. God made them easy to eat. Nature is amazing
Itâs so simple, but people overcomplicate it. Red meat (nose to tail), real eggs, butter, tallow, bone broth, raw honey & raw milk is literally all you need to survive and to actually be healthy
Chronic sleep deprivation lowers testosterone, increases cortisol, and disrupts insulin sensitivity. Fixing your sleep is the cheapest health hack youâll ever find.
Aw Thank you!! Good morning, i hope you have a wonderful day alsoâşď¸ weâre getting some snow here in NY today as well. Stay warm
Meat isnât the enemy. The people selling you fake food are.

The most delicious, fiat-free Valentineâs Day dinner.đ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ą@John_Scavone

If you walk down the Valentineâs Day candy aisle in a grocery story, you will not find a single product that doesnât contain seed oils, corn syrup, or other synthetic ingredients made in a lab.
Thatâs a promise.
I love coffee. But had to give it up recently. Iâve become so sensitive to caffeine itâs so upsetting. I get racing heart, hard time breathing, sweating & skin breakouts.
Iâm thinking to cut it out for 30 days and try to add it back in here and there.
Has anyone else had this issue?
I spent 5 hours yesterday with my mom, flipping through old pictures of us growing up. Every photo held a story, a memory, a little piece of time frozen forever.
It was one of those rare, heartwarming days, filled with laughter, love, and the kind of nostalgia that makes you appreciate just how precious every moment truly is.
Iâm so grateful she captured it all.
The one word youâre going to see, hear & smell everywhere starting today:
TALLOW. đđđź
I try to avoid the plastic at all costs, but if you have no other choice than to buy a plastic bottle, transferring it into stainless steel is better than drinking out of the plastic. Any way you can limit exposure to plastic will help!
One egg contains every nutrient needed to create life: vitamins A, D, E, B12, choline, and more. But somehow, thatâs what they tell you to limit?
Makes sense. đ¤¨
