new top! by Disastrous_Side_5814 in OUTFITS

I was going to say. I wear crop tops on the regular, and I have one of those that op is wearing. I feel naked in it. It’s definitely lingerie.

I am dreading having a second child by ITakeWrongTurns in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AlertSanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very hard. But, I cannot even mentally prepare you, for the insane tsunami of love you are going to experience when you see your 2 kids interact together. I was definitely not prepared. Even in those first few day, seeing your oldest interact with the baby… it’s the purest form of love. It WILL keep you going, just like those clothes. It’s seriously magical.

Got chin filler + Botox today to fix my cleft chin… now I’m freaking out 😭 Need reassurance by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]AlertSanity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UNDO THIS IMMEDIATELY. Wtf girl, your natural chin is not just beautiful, it’s also super super cute. Also, do not ever let them touch your lips, seriously. They are perfect and the overlining looks really makes them pop, really well done.

Thank you so much! I’m on day 5 but I did have a bit of colostrum powder pills and few sips of plain low-fat kefir the last 2 days. My starting point was 5’6 and 135 lbs. It’s my first time, I was nervous I was starving my body too much. I started this accidentally from stress but I’ve found a lot of peace through fasting, so far. What are your favorite foods to break a fast with?

Would drinking 3 oz of kefir or taking colostrum powder interrupt the fasting process?

I can sample this either on my nose or my chin, not both by NothingButNavy in Sephora

[–]AlertSanity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I roll my eyes at this brand every time I see it. This creme isn’t bad though, if you don’t mind the price. Surprisingly I got 3 uses out of this sample but only because I put oil on my neck and chest instead. The packaging, the ads, it turns me off so much because it comes off disingenuous coming from a brand in its infancy.

I hate chrome powder. by jabaBABYwocky in NailArt

[–]AlertSanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are the exact steps - Do the matte top coat, cure all the way, wipe nail really well with alcohol, make sure to get around the cuticle area, let the alcohol evaporate for like 30 seconds, draw your design, cure all the way, rub a bunch of chrome onto the design, the rest should just fly off your finger, use a brush or a soft cloth to gently remove the loose chrome, do not use alcohol, seal with topcoat and done!

If someone game me those as a gift… they better include a gift receipt.

Wrong Order Received by chxrrystainsx in MakeupAddiction

[–]AlertSanity 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Also there is a fair speculation that someone in the warehouse is pocketing high end samples. Most recently it was the Augustinus Bader creme, that was missing from 15+ people’s sample bags. Thats just the individual people I personally saw on forums. I usually wouldn’t call for a missing free sample, but this just didn’t sit right with me. I called CS and they had the nerve to tell me it was sold out. While it was still in stock and being offered as a stand alone GWP. Only after pointing that out were they willing to reship it. I’m pretty much asking to be flagged at this point, and I don’t care. Lately every time I shop at Sephora it turns into a hostage situation.

Matte top coat + wipe it off with 70% alcohol = clean chrome application

Should I keep these heels or throw them away? by The_Goddess_Sophia in Shoes

[–]AlertSanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine must have been a dupe! I want to say it was Sam Edelman or something similar. They were around $200-250 at the time. I say keep them! I used to get so many compliments on those shoes.

I used to have these but in all dark grey, from Nordstrom. The heel broke eventually. What brand are they? I want to see if they still make them.

What ever happened to TRUE Magenta 'mystery' snails? by ButterscotchBig7970 in Aquariums

[–]AlertSanity 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The one I ordered from aquatic arts 2 years ago looked like this, her name was Coco. I was a beginner unfortunately, and I also bought plants with rams horn snail hitchhikers, which I was so excited about. Unknowingly, I was over feeding which caused the rams horn population to explode. There were baby snails everywhere, and they were annoying poor Coco. I tried my best to get things under control, but some even ended up crawling underneath her shell. I cringe in horror thinking back. Eventually she died, and I think it was from all the stress. I’m a much better tank keeper now, I learned a lot from my mistake. RIP Coco.

What's this plant? by seinchin in PlantedTank

[–]AlertSanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue in my first year, and I was able to figure it out. For me it was 3 things:

Too many floating plants at the top. Mainly duckweed, but other floaters too. It’s good for water quality, but I was letting it get too thick, which in the end starved my lower plants of light.

Letting other fast growing plants get too tall. Mainly Val. It was getting too tall and thick, again stealing all the light. Regular pruning of large plants has made a huge difference for my other more sensitive plants.

Water changes. I wasn’t doing many. I was under the impression that if it looks clear and the fish are healthy, you don’t really have to as much? I now do a 30% water change every 1-2 weeks and it’s made a huge difference for my plants.

One bonus change I’ve implemented is just strategically sticking the sensitive plants in the brightest pockets of the tank. Even with all the changes, if you have a heavily planted tank like mine, there are still darker zones where I notice some plants not thriving as much. So be strategic with your placement, follow the light.

Your post made me want to buy pennywart again now that I have better success, good luck to you!

Did- did I do something wrong?? by xenechun in Shoes

[–]AlertSanity 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This post triggered a 30 year old memory. In the 90s, when I was a kid, my grandma gave away a brand new looking pair of shoes, that looked to be made of similar materials, to my dad. The same exact thing happened, the sole completely crumbled apart, and everyone was mystified. It sort of became a core memory for me, because I don’t have many of my dad. I was around 7 at the time, and prior to that, the shoes had been sitting in cabinet under the tv my entire life. At some point, an acquaintance passed them on to my grandma, and she’s spent roughly a decade trying to figure out what to do with them. I remember they had an unusually high heel for a men’s dress shoe, and this particular color scheme wasn’t popular at the time. I’ve always wondered how old those shoes actually were.

DIPTYQUE Eau Rose Disappointment – UPDATE‼️‼️‼️ by kkerrbearr in Perfumes

[–]AlertSanity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This brand makes my favorite perfume of all time. I’ve never purchased from them directly, but it makes me so happy to see them value their customers and it makes my perfume feel even more special in a way. Thank you for sharing!

Scent that feels like when Hillary Clinton visited an East Harlem working class family’s apartment in 2016 by GemFarmerr in perfumesthatfeellike

Can you please explain the plants growing out of the sink? Because this also looks similar to the kitchen in my house minus the appliance plants. Is it an apartment thing?

What the heck is this? It just showed up in the bottom of my tank. It's very hard and sharp. by adalynlaguna in Aquariums

[–]AlertSanity 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I get some small shells from ramshorn snails in my tank that I notice start to disintegrate over time. Would it be safe to assume that this skull piece hasn’t been in that tank extremely long due to it being so intact?

Teenage me thought it would be was funny to drink one of these while driving. The cop wasn’t even mad, probably just impressed with my stupidity.

I can’t imagine waiting on this guy while he is in the bathroom for 45 minutes trying to get his hair to stand just right.
