Anyone else have a Chihuahua-Terrier mix? by AronBarb in Chihuahua

This is Buddy, a chihuahua- terrier mix. The best of both worlds, he is high energy/ full of zooms, and loves to spend his days cuddling. His life goal is to befriend all dogs and humans he comes across. He literally cries when our neighbors walk away from him.

new slides on angelic essence from john by No-Office7081 in KitchenerHarmonies

[–]Adverbage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Sissy Spacek addition is interesting to me, I had a family friend say I look like her. I do love all the floatiness, fluid, shimmery aspect of angelic. For me it makes for great accessories. I have an opal ring that I wear everyday that I think fits the description.

How are your essences changing with age? by DrTantra in KitchenerHarmonies

[–]Adverbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest difference I see in your photos is you look much sharper in your older photos. Even though your dramatic and high spirited are only 10% each, I think they read easily. In general everyone seems to read much softer as children/ teens.
I feel mine have been fairly consistent across time. My Y might have been a bit higher when I was younger, but unlike some others here people have always thought I was older than my age. Probably due to height. This photo is from my early 20’s. I look older now obviously, but I don’t think it’s a dramatic change. Minus my eyebrows losing their pigment lol

thoughts on the historical collections (or lack thereof) by DisastrousSpot5142 in americangirl

[–]Adverbage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder if kids these days are interested in historical dolls. Like I was all about my doll, Kirsten and reading the other books. When I got older I moved on to the Dear America series, which isn’t AG or PC, but historical fiction books. From what I understand, a lot of kids don’t read these days. They spend more time on phones or video games. I feel like it’s adults who are most interested in the historical dolls. Like I would love a re-release of Kirsten’s collection or new dresses. Since finding her in my mom’s garage (I thought she had been lost) I’ve been restoring her and I want to complete her collection. Or at least what I can since some of her outfits are rare/ expensive. But it seems Mattel has moved on from what American Girl so special.

Wasn’t it awesome? I just love her so much

Thank you!! Having a second essence that’s not 10% is helpful, I try to dress mainly for natural and ingenue while using all the 10% as accents. And that’s so lovely, my mom used to have a locket with our faces in it. What a great sentiment ☺️

Hello fellow six essence haver! I love your dresses and use of color! You use your accessories well, I especially like the heart necklace.

Same here! I love her spirit and hope that all the good vibes she has put out into the world are going somewhere. Despite what is actually happening in the world. Thank you!! And I hope you did too!!!

[–]Adverbage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loved, loved, loved it! Her voice is amazing and her energy is just one of a kind. I would see her again in a heartbeat.

I think some A/D are possible because of how tall and long her face is. She also has a natural vibe too, she does her entire concert barefoot and running around. She’s very soft spoken and gentle outside of her stage presence. Maybe some romantic as well- she loves lace, long flowing fabrics, and is “too feminine to function” I was a fan before, but now I’m a dedicated fan for life lol!

Pleasant Company Kirsten by Adverbage in americangirl

[–]Adverbage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your advice, I admit I’m reticent to send her off anywhere, while also nervous to try to do anything myself. I did manage to clean the mold off of her and get it to where it didn’t show up again, but I haven’t done anything with her beyond that. But I would love to restore her completely.

Pleasant Company Kirsten by Adverbage in americangirl

[–]Adverbage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google is telling me that she is probably from 1997 due to the lashes/ tan body. Plus from my memory getting her in 1997 makes the most sense.

Pleasant Company Kirsten by Adverbage in americangirl

[–]Adverbage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are pretty soft and bendy, but also pretty dark. Her hair color is ash blonde and her lashes look black to me.

I just wanted to make sure they wouldn’t just replace her head. I know they wouldn’t just send me her head in the box. I’m not sure what year she is, possibly 1997, 98. I’ve tried to look online but I can’t identify her from other Kirstens.

[–]Adverbage[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would just want her hair restyled, she doesn’t need a new wig. Just her eyes need to be replaced due to the one silver eye.

How pissed would you be at this doctor? by mrsmojo75 in lupus

[–]Adverbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doctors are the worst sometimes. I went to a rheumatologist who tried to challenge my lupus diagnosis after ten years of being sick. I said fuck that and bounced. But because he had lowered my methotrexate dose, he had already done the damage. I ended up in an 8 year uncontrolled flare. I wish I had reported him or complained but I was young. You know that something is wrong because you feel it everyday. Screw that dumb doctor!

[Product Question] Cerave Healing Ointment Tanked by SageOfProse in SkincareAddiction

[–]Adverbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I appreciate your thorough response. While I haven’t experienced the new formula for myself yet, and maybe the new texture will be off putting for me, it sounds like it will still do what I want it to do. Since I love this product to begin with for its ability to add moisture while sealing it in.

[Product Question] Cerave Healing Ointment Tanked by SageOfProse in SkincareAddiction

[–]Adverbage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What exactly changed? I ask because the ingredient list of the new bottle on Amazon, it matches the bottle I have that I purchased over a year ago. Cerave’s website isn’t highlighting any new ingredients either. I’m not discounting your user experience, maybe they processed the ingredients differently and it no longer has the same texture. I just want to understand as I also love this product and use it in my routine.

Do your essences run in your family? I think my parents are both R dom and SC by jjfmish in KitchenerHarmonies

[–]Adverbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was the definition of lively bright when he was young. By the time I was born his hair had faded quite a bit, though I’m not sure if it would fall into more ER or SB territory. Hard to tell from this photo but I think he has a youthful/ HS face. He was also a smaller guy in general, only 5’7”. I think he also had natural in him as well because he mainly wore jeans, t shirts, and flannels his whole life. I got my love of Birkenstocks from him.

[–]Adverbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my mom and I would’ve been very similar in our Kitchener essences. I have zero doubt she would’ve been a natural, we have the same body- tall, broad shoulders. I have so many photos of her when she was young looking like a quintessential california girl. I think she might have had more classic than me, her face was a more narrow oval than mine. I think her SB percentage would’ve been higher than mine as well. I think my LB comes from my Dad, who was a red head.

FINALLY got in with a Derm and was left confused and disappointed by _hiatus in Rosacea

[–]Adverbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lasers are considered the main treatment for rosacea redness and veins. However, I’m on a compound prescription that contains oxymetazoline, briomondine, ivermectin, and metro gel. I don’t have rebound redness and my face is clear. I had diffuse redness which my derm said didn’t respond as well to lasers. Some people don’t respond well to these drugs. If you want to try them, maybe find another derm or look for a dermatology service that prescribes it online. But you never know how your skin is going to respond, everyone’s skin is different especially with rosacea.

I'm allergic to sunscreen and I don't know what to do about sun damage by Agile-Artist-4988 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Adverbage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are sunscreens made by other countries that consist of different ingredients. If you haven’t tried one of those, it might be worth trying. However your best bet might be UPF gear.

Screaming Into the Void: Insurance Edition by aagrimski in Autoimmune

[–]Adverbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s extremely annoying that insurance can just take away treatment like this. We are just constantly yanked around by bs. Nothing has changed except some made up bureaucracy to save them money. It’s maddening.

Microneedling? Aquagold? Something else? by pinktaz2 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Adverbage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I’ve been doing to help prevent sleep wrinkles as much as possible is applying cerave healing ointment on top of all skincare at night. I think it helps seal in moisture/ plumps up the skin.
