http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/07/homemade-chick-fil-a-sandwiches-recipe.html

But alas

There are no smoochable ladies (well, I could make out with my roommate I suppose, but that’d be INCREDIBLY AWKWARD) and I’m lazy and have a party to go to

but YOU

HEY YOU

you should go to chick fil a in your best rainbow duds and with rainbow flags tomorrow

buy nothing

kiss everyone of the same gender as you that you can find

crossdress if you like

and bring your swag 

in the meantime I’ll be sticking it to The Man by making my own fucking chicken sandwiches

Preach.

Your bath might be a little dirty afterwards, but it washes away easily with bathroom-detergent. 
Bath with oil and orange oil against celluliteDilute a few drops of orange oil in olive oil and pour it all into the tub. This mixture of oils gradually diminishes cellulite. While bathing, you will feel your skill pinch from time to time and this is good. However, you should stop the process if you feel pain or strong discomfort.

Body bath and steam bath for face on herbsNormal Skin : chamomile, geranium, lavender, yiang-yiang. Sensitive skin : camomile, lavender, rose, orange blossom, scented violet. Dry Skin : clary sage, sandalwood, marshmallow, rose. Oily Skin : calendula, lemon, basil, juniper and sage.

Bath for soft and silky skinFor the skin to be soft and silky you need to take a shower in the evening and, on a clean and dry body (from feet to neck), rub in olive oil or any other vegetable oil. While rubbing in the oil, start preparing a bath with nice warm water. When your body is oily and your bath is ready, lay there for at least 15-20 minutes, massaging your skin and rubbing in the oil more and more. After the bath, you can wash off the oil with soap and water, but you can also simply use a wet towel. After this bath, it’s better to go straight to bed. Overnight, your skin will absorb the oil that you rubbed in and it will be baby smooth in the morning! 
Starch Bath to smoothen skinTake 0.5 kg of potato starch or a litter of thick oatmeal broth. Mix it with 1 tablespoon of pine extract. After the bath, treat your body with some moisturising cream
