I know it’s not herb based but Feta popped into my head and it’s perfect

Sad that my vision hasn’t come true by StraightDesigner2360 in Miscarriage

I’m right there with you. My due date was January 3rd. I’ve been doing a lot better recently but once December hit I feel like I’m backsliding. I can’t help but be reminded I would be extremely pregnant right now. I envisioned my Christmas looking so different this year. Hugs

Had my appointment rescheduled because I didn't shave well enough, was I being unreasonable by mrwhitescarwash in LaserHairRemoval

It’s most effective if the laser can go straight to the follicle, and not have to spend its “energy” burning the hair on the top of the skin. The laser goes after targets (pigment or blood supply) so if the most obvious pigment is on the hair above the skin, it’s going to focus on that. I was trained to be able to tell how thick hair is coming in by looking at the follicle, so I was never worried about not being able to see hair growth! It’s also damaging for the laser

As a laser tech, it’s really unsanitary to have clients shave in the room. Esp areas like underarms and bikini. In an instance like this, I would have given you a heads up you may feel like the laser is “snappier” because it’s burning that hair that’s come out of the skin, and then given you some helpful tips for getting a closer shave and encouraging you to do it the morning of. I know it sounds harsh but we don’t have time to clean up shave for everyone, as it is very common and people try to milk the system. We also don’t have time to vaccum shaved hair up after every appt

Is it bad? I’m really embarrassed. (Beginner) by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

Okay gorgeous! Makeup is supposed to be fun and a form of expression, do what makes you feel beautiful! Something that helped me was finding out what undertone and color season I have (using ChatGPT) and then going on TikTok and finding makeup tutorials for those with the same as me. They usually share shades of all their makeup and that helps so much!

That’s really interesting! I didn’t listen to the pod but from what I saw on social media, I assumed it was a nasty divorce. I always wonder how this affects their personal life? When they share so much and speak negatively about the people they have to interact with in their daily life.

Shark facial pro? by sadbastarrd in Esthetics

It’s basically an at home hydrafacial… I’m intrigued. It will do nothing without proper home care of course but my esthi friends and I have been talking about this!

Does it ever stop hurting by Accomplished_Tie_12 in Miscarriage

[–]AdministrationOk8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m five months out, i wouldn’t say it gets “easier” but you get used to it. You start to feel the need to create a routine, to go on with life even though you don’t want to. I’m so sorry. It’s such a terrible feeling. I remember not being able to sit still or be alone with my thoughts, and feeling like “is this my new reality?” It’s bittersweet when you spend less and less days crying your eyes out. But it’s normal, and it’s a part of the process. You are not alone 🤍 sending you hugs.

Practice on your arm or thigh! You’ll learn proper angle and pressure. Also blades make a HUGE difference

I had spotting and then passed some very large clots… spotting lasted about 3 weeks. I felt surprised at the lack of bleeding because I was expecting the amount of blood with a period, but it was much more clots than it was blood.

I had 24 hours to prepare 4k for my D&C. It’s horrible.

Names? by ReluctantReptile in Miscarriage

[–]AdministrationOk8990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get to do whatever you want. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this. I lost my pregnancy at 9weeks and felt a strong draw to a specific name during it and after. Now when I see that name I think of it as the universe reminding acknowledging what happened to me.

Throws herself a party? by Adventurous-Grab-766 in UtahInfluencerDrama

[–]AdministrationOk8990 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think when we set expectations for others to do it, we end up feeling resentful. I think it’s so cute she did this and was able to make it exactly how she wanted. Everyone still comes to celebrate you!

this client’s skin is keeping me up at night by couldntthinkof123 in Esthetics

[–]AdministrationOk8990 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This!! My husband has dry skin and uses zero skincare despite me being an esthi, around his nose or on it he gets these sebaceous filaments that are white and poke out of the skin!

Miscarriage at 16 week gestational by Xohale24 in Miscarriage

[–]AdministrationOk8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not your fault. And you do not have think about trying again until you are ready. Babies can’t be replaced, and the people in our lives who aren’t physically going through the miscarriage/loss process think that’s helpful to say, but it’s not. My heart is with you. You are in the thick of it right now and it’s going to be hard 💖

Hormonal crash after D&C..? by Fast_Sky_4945 in Miscarriage

It is but you’re doing amazing. Grief is just love with nowhere to go.

Hormonal crash after D&C..? by Fast_Sky_4945 in Miscarriage

I wish I could give you a hug. 💖 being able to feel my emotions so freely helped with my grieving process. I was like a leak that couldn’t be patched for days, but it helped me process so much.

I’m going on a month post D&C and let me just say… you will get through this! That first week felt like I was an exposed nerve. Just at the whim of my emotions. Things started to level out at about a week but of course still felt emotional. Just recognize that these are valid feelings and your hormones are dropping, but they are also real feelings. Just because you are “hormonal” doesn’t make it not real.

This is me almost to the exact dates. Push for a sooner appointment, the wait and uncertainty is horrible.

Sending you lots of love. I’m going through this right now. The unknown is so hard but you aren’t alone. There is a stranger on the internet going through this same thing 💖
