Guiche piercings are located on the perineum — the area between the anus and genitals.
Some folks believe perineum piercings (aka guiche piercings or taint piercings) can increase sexual pleasure. But, due to their location between the genitals and anus, there’s an increased risk of infection or irritation.

Picking at ingrown hairs can damage the skin and cause ingrown hair scars or hyperpigmentation. But, preventing ingrown hairs in the first place is the best way to avoid lingering spots.
Erin Brant/Stocksy United (person appearing is a model and used for illustrative purposes only)
Ingrown hair scars often look like raised, red, or dark brown bumps. While not as likely, it’s also possible to get keloid scarring, which is when scar tissue keeps growing to form smooth, raised nodules.
The root — er, follicle — of these scars is ingrown hairs. These hairs curve and grow back into the …

“Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.” ~Sharon Salzberg
It was the fifth night of my first silent retreat, and 100 of us spilled out of the meditation hall into darkness, flashlights swinging as we made our way along the path to our dorms and sleep.
Suddenly the wind picked up and quiet excitement rippled through the group as we looked up to see a bank of clouds move and reveal a full moon, beaming a bright white light from the night sky. We stopped and stood, some of us for hours, gazing upwards.
This is a painfully obvious metaphor, I wanted to say to someone.

Ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, sourdough has been having a moment. As folks hunkered down at home, this classic bread quickly became the darling of the home baking trend.
If you didn’t hop on the sourdough train during lockdown (but still want to take a crack at the tangy yeast bread), it’s not too late. Starting out all comes down to, well, a starter.
You can use store-bought yeast to get your sourdough on, but making a sourdough starter is more exciting. It utilizes the wild yeasts in its environment (i.e. your kitchen) and ferments like magic. Your starter becomes a living thing with a totally unique identity — almost like a pet!
These sourdough starter tips will help you get the hang of its care and feeding.

Friends! Minimalist Baker just turned TEN! Can you believe it? That’s 10 whole years on the internet. This feels big.
An astute reader recently reminded us of our 10th anniversary and suggested we celebrate with a birthday cake (GREAT IDEA, Caroline!). And so we’re doing just that!
This cake is extra special for two reasons:
Not only is this cake sexy (I mean, hubba hubba — have you seen her?).

“If your heart hurts a little after letting go of someone or something, that’s okay. It just means that your feelings were genuine. No one likes ends. And no one likes pain. But sometimes we have to put things that were once good to an end after they turn toxic to our well-being. Not every new beginning is meant to last forever. And not every person who walks into your life is meant to stay.” ~Najwa Zebian
It’s hard to describe what betrayal feels like. Unless you’ve experienced it, I mean, in which case you’ll know. You’ll know that moment—the punch to the gut, which in my case, even though I was standing in an empty room all on my own, literally knocked me to the floor. I’d seen something, you see.

“Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do. Don’t let the limitations of others limit your vision. If you can remove your self-doubt and believe in yourself, you can achieve what you never thought possible.” ~Roy T. Bennett
Ahh yes, self-doubt. Something that affects every single one of us at different times and at different magnitudes—even those that seem supremely confident.
Why do so many of us experience self-doubt, and how can we overcome it?
On a personal note, I can tell you my self-doubt comes any time I am trying something new. I’ve learned over the years where this stems from, and it may be similar for you. It comes from m…
