We Tried A Splurgy Celeb-Loved Treatment That Promises Glowy Skin — And Had Two Different Take-Aways

Published

on

Ryan’s feedback:

What I Loved:

• I truly think that SmoothGlo gave me an overall smoothed look to my face. Multiple friends told me that my skin looked great when they saw me. And I’m from Jersey, so we don’t really do fake compliments. 

• For me, it was relatively low pain.

• The treatments have also been super helpful in preventing breakouts on my forehead, where I used to get them. 

• SmoothGlo felt very modern. The machine isn’t some big, scary device where you have no clue what’s happening. The filter settings are amazing — it’s literally like applying your needs in the form of an iPhone filter.

• There is very little downtime. 

• You can get it while you’re getting injectables and Botox. During some of my sessions, I was fresh off getting filler and botox.

What I Didn’t Like:

• Rosacea doesn’t have a cure, so SmoothGlo wasn’t totally able to eradicate the redness in my cheeks, like I had hoped. It decreased it, but based on sun exposure, I still have it. However, Dr. Kung introduced me to this prescription cream called Rhofade, which constricts the blood vessels in the face, and thus improved my rosacea  

• The cost isn’t ideal in today’s economy, unless you have disposable income.

Final Thoughts:

•  If you’ve got the money and you’re looking to get a step-up from a facial or expensive new moisturize to prepare for a wedding or heavily photographed event, I’d recommend this treatment. I hope this post was helpful and informative, and feel free to DM me with questions about my SmoothGlo experience.

16 Books By Trans Authors To Read During The Trans Rights Readathon

Published

on

On March 20, the Trans Rights Readathon kicked off across social platforms, a decentralized fundraiser for trans rights organizations led by author and activist Sim Kern. The readathon challenges people to spend the week reading books written by trans and nonbinary authors, while asking their communities to pledge and support them in donating to trans rights groups like the Trans Health Legal Fund, or even local fundraisers to support their own trans friends. 

Anyone can participate in the Trans Rights Readathon by signing up through this form and then using their platform, whether it be TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, or something else, to post about the books they’re reading and seek pledges. 

Kern says they launched the readathon in direct response to recent legislative efforts that are proliferating across the country. 

“I was feeling so much despair about the barrage of anti-trans bills being proposed across the U.S.,” they told Publisher’s Weekly. “I think so many people, myself included, felt defeated and overwhelmed and not sure what to do.”

If you’d like to participate in the Trans Right Readathon but aren’t sure where to start in terms of what to read, here are 16 recommendations of books by trans authors, spanning across genres from memoir, YA contemporary, magical realism, romance, and more.

Happy reading!
