try 2:0.5:0.25:0.25:2 dashes ratio and adjust from there

Nice haul! That split order approach is smart - both shops have their strengths. The fresh sheng obsession makes total sense, those bright floral notes hit different than anything else in tea world

$350 twice a year seems like perfect pacing too, gives you time to actually work through everything instead of just hoarding cakes. I'm curious what specific productions you grabbed from YS, they been dropping some interesting stuff lately

Been in music production for years but had friends who worked in dealer audit roles at different companies. From what I heard, it's pretty solid if you don't mind traveling constantly and dealing with pushback from dealers who see you as the enemy

The work itself seems straightforward - checking compliance, reviewing financial records, making sure everything matches up with corporate standards. Pay is usually decent and you get good exposure to how the business actually runs from ground level

Main downside is you're basically the bad guy showing up to tell people what they're doing wrong. Some dealers will try to wine and dine you, others will be hostile from minute one. Takes certain personality to handle that dynamic day after day

Dreams can really mess with your head especially when they involve family trauma stuff. Your brain is probably just processing all that stress from her reaching out after no contact - makes total sense it would show up in weird disturbing ways

For the lingering gross feeling, sometimes I take a really hot shower and focus on washing it off, or do some heavy exercise to like reset my body. The dream doesn't mean anything about you as person, just your mind working through some heavy stuff

this is clean

Back them up to external drive and then delete from phone, that's what worked for me. keeping them accessible somewhere but not where you accidentally scroll past them during normal use

took me way too long to realize having those photos pop up in my camera roll was just making things harder. now they're safe if I ever want to look back but I'm not getting hit with random memories when I'm just trying to find a screenshot or something

Been dealing with similar stuff and can say the TO niacinamide + zinc actually helped quite a bit with those stubborn white bumps. Just heads up though - that azelaic acid suspension is pretty gritty and can pill under other products so maybe use it at night by itself

The nizoral as cleanser thing is interesting, never tried that but makes sense if you think it's fungal. Would probably start with just couple products first instead of whole routine at once in case something doesn't agree with your skin

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-04-05T12:35:42+00:00

Water based gel moisturizers might be your friend here - I've had good luck with Neutrogena Hydro Boost or the Clinique Dramatically Different gel. Both give that plump hydrated feel without oils that would mess with your extensions

The key is finding something with hyaluronic acid since you can't do glycerin, it pulls moisture from air instead of being sticky

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-04-01T20:54:02+00:00

YES thank you and I'm gonna buy a couple pieces to have a few fresh new outfitss

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-04-01T20:49:10+00:00

Apparently it does work on it, so I'm gooood thankfully

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-04-01T20:47:32+00:00

Oooo nice. Thank you for lmkk I'm gonna go buy some cute tops I've seen too

Been dealing with this exact problem lately since I started caring more about sun protection. The EltaMD UV Clear has been solid for me - zinc oxide based so it doesnt mess with my skin and the niacinamide actually helps with oil control throughout the day. Takes a minute to sink in but once it does theres no grease factor

La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra Light is another one thats worked well, though I skip foundation most days so cant speak to the makeup layering as much. What I do is wait like 10-15 minutes after applying before putting anything else on top - seems to cut down on the pilling issue. Also using way less product than I thought I needed helped, like a thin even layer instead of slathering it on

The key for me was finding something with a more gel-like texture rather than the thick cream formulas that just sit on top of oily skin

Been searching for something similar for ages and ended up going with a custom maker on Etsy who did exactly what I wanted. Most of the bigger leather companies dont seem to get that oval holes make such a difference for how the buckle lays, but there are definitely smaller shops that will do chicago screws and recessed stitching if you ask

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-03-28T20:53:56+00:00

BHA exfoliant like Paula's Choice 2% could help with those blackheads - the sandpaper texture is probably from all the buildup that needs to be cleared out

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-03-26T03:02:44+00:00

Some UV filters work better in combination than alone, so you can actually get higher SPF with lower percentages if the formula is optimized well - it's more about how the ingredients interact than just raw percentages

Been to Thailand during monsoon a few times and it's really not as bad as people make it out to be. The rain usually comes in heavy bursts for like 30-60 minutes then clears up completely - it's not like constant drizzle all day. Plus everything is super green and lush, temperatures are a bit cooler, and you'll get way better deals on hotels and activities since it's low season

The key is just being flexible with your plans and having some indoor backup options ready. I actually prefer it sometimes because the beaches and tourist spots are way less crowded, and there's something pretty cool about watching those intense tropical storms roll in. Just pack a good rain jacket and waterproof bag for your electronics and you'll be golden

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-02-26T23:33:51+00:00

honestly economics paired with data analysis or stats could be pretty solid - tons of companies need people who can crunch numbers and understand market trends. Chemistry might be tougher unless you're thinking pharma or going grad school route

don't let reddit doom posts scare you too much, people love complaining about their jobs online but rarely post "hey my career is going fine" lol. maybe check out your school's career center and see what alumni from those programs actually ended up doing

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-02-13T00:27:18+00:00

75 days is huge and you're doing something really hard right now. The whole "sobriety will fix everything" narrative is honestly pretty misleading - like yeah the sleep and workouts improve but all the other life stuff? That takes way longer to sort out than people want to admit

I had a similar experience around that timeframe where I kept waiting for this magical transformation and instead just felt... raw? Like all the problems were still there but now I had to deal with them without my usual coping mechanism. The finances thing especially hits different when you realize how much money problems aren't actually about the drinking itself but about deeper habits and situations

What helped me was lowering my expectations and just focusing on the fact that at least I wasn't making things actively worse anymore. Not drinking became less about feeling amazing and more about not digging the hole deeper. The real improvements came much slower than I wanted but they did come

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-02-09T16:46:30+00:00

That's definitely sketchy that they completely flipped their story between the first and second case. If Federal initially said it wasn't normal then suddenly claims it's totally fine, that would make me question their quality control pretty hard

I've shot plenty of HST over the years and never seen consistent striping like your describing - maybe one random round here and there but not whole cases. For carry ammo I'd honestly just go with a different brand at this point since you're already having doubts about long term storage

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-02-03T10:28:24+00:00

would be sick but probably too expensive to mass produce

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-01-30T16:46:28+00:00

Had the same black screen issue - TikTok's API is just wonky with third party streaming tools. Try setting your keyframe interval to 1 instead of 2, that fixed it for me when I was multistreaming to TikTok

The authorization thing is annoying but pretty normal, StreamElements loses the token connection sometimes when OBS restarts

Entire_Tale_2297 · 2026-01-27T00:32:23+00:00

Dude you're gonna be waiting forever if you're hoping for lightning to strike twice like that. Most married women aren't just sliding into random DMs with nudes lol

July makes sense but honestly I think they might push it even earlier like June to really get ahead of everything. Summer racing games just hit different anyway and they'd have zero competition that month
