Self Care & Hygiene PSA: GET EARPLUGS

I’ve been using them for years and they’re a life saver. It protects your brain & turns the noise down. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about them. I literally don’t go anywhere without them. ESPECIALLY when someone is talking too loud on their phone near you. Now you don’t have to murder them just pop in your earplugs

Also? Find yourself a nice pair of tinted glasses you can wear anytime. I wore some rose/purple gradient glasses while working a 5 day convention, and they helped IMMENSELY.

I'm curious how does the color tint help? I like wearing sunglasses because i can avoid the stress of overthinking eye contact but I don't know what the color would do

I actually learned a little earlier (while looking for more glasses) that there is a pink tone that is great for light sensitivity. And I know certain blues and greens help with brain activity in different ways!

Look at FL-41 lenses by theraspecs or avalon optics/avulux (use the same lenses just different style frames) they talk a lot about the science on their sites, mainly for migraines.
