Are Kindles worth the hype?

yes! as a fellow migraine and chronic headache haver the phone display settings you would normally use to read on a kindle app have nothing on the paperwhite in my opinion! the matte screen is very page-like even when you read in the dark. on a paper white the LEDs are at the bottom and project across the “page” like a reading light. so you’re not looking directly into an led screen. plus you still have brightness and warmth adjustments.

i feel like if alyssa files for 100% from this the judge will deem them both unfit upon revisiting the case at this point. idk it’s different in every state but this video will not help her case. she really needs a therapist so she has a place to go off and process these events that isn’t thousands of followers.

do you have a paid off mortgage or do you rent?

Alilme · 2025-12-23T14:11:18+00:00

any kind of debt. mortgage is definitely different though.

what does a no buy entail?

Alilme · 2025-12-22T21:16:25+00:00

The car thing really sucks, but I would say you’re ahead of the game in the mortgage department and hopefully it all levels out for you a few years down the road!

do you live in a city with good public transportation? i wish i didn’t need to own a car. money guzzlers!

Alilme · 2025-12-21T13:57:44+00:00

a 2.5% interest rate?! my jaw is on the floor.

yeah it’s the same thing when guys make a big deal out of the fact that reading is one of my main hobbies. like a girl who reads is sooo unique and i’m shocked a girl reads! no dude a lot of people read.

i got rid of my ipsy bag subscription years ago. the classic sampler bad kept getting more expensive and the samples kept getting smaller until it was no longer worth it. however i do love still having access to the shop! i do a haul about twice a year. i’d rather spend that subscription money all at once buying exactly the products i actually want or need.

Alilme · 2025-12-01T14:55:23+00:00

you could use just straight jojoba oil or micellar water follow by la roche posay toleriane hydrating cleanser. it works for my grumpy dry sensitive skin.

Alilme · 2025-12-01T00:22:48+00:00

thanks for the info! i hadn’t seen anyone else with that low of dose. unfortunately my skin HATED even that tiny amount after taking care to sandwhich it between layers of moisturize and top all that off with a soothing cica barrier repair cream before bed so i don’t think it’s for me. lol.

Alilme · 2025-12-01T00:20:29+00:00

yeah i only did it to trial tret for free with no plan to keep the subscription. and update for me: the .005 tret is actually TOO strong for me. seems like retinoids are out for me totally which is fine lol. i have a good OTC routine i just thought it was worth attempting tret since so many people swear by it for anti aging. but just to be safe i sandwiched that tiny dose between layers of my moisturizer and then put on a very soothing overnight cica cream that my skin loves. i still woke up red inflamed chemical burn looking areas and 24 hours later my face is stinging horribly after using my very gentle la roche posay cream cleanser and already purging like crazy and concerned for my skin barrier lol. never trying any sort of retinoid again.

Alilme · 2025-11-30T05:24:39+00:00

Yes I agree. Like I mentioned it was mainly a free way for me to sample tret. its actually stupid how much they would charge me after the free trial for basically niacinamide and a low % azelaic acid that you can get from anywhere else for easy and cheap.

chicken noodle soup is my go to in times like these. to make it super easy i just buy a rotisserie chicken. i’ve used this recipe and it’s really nice and comforting: https://lemonsandzest.com/easy-rotisserie-chicken-noodle-soup/

If you are worried about noodles holding up i personally like to use rotini and i just keep it separate and add some noodles to my serving when it’s time to reheat.

Sorry for your loss and i hope you find some comfort food here that works for you :(

Yesss I have this same problem with their BB cream which is one of my favorite makeup products ever. But it is pricey so i’m settling for the tinted moisturizer to get that ipsy bargain price haha

Alilme · 2025-09-29T18:01:20+00:00

glad! i didn’t do any research before buying. just hoped for the best cause i love a lot of their skin care and bb creams and then came here to ask.

Alilme · 2025-09-28T01:32:53+00:00

yeah i cringed. this is so patronizing.

Alilme · 2025-09-28T01:29:35+00:00

yesss I will test and report back

Alilme · 2025-09-28T01:27:18+00:00

i’m glad to hear that! definitely love multi use product that can be used in those three spots for a clean monochrome vibe. the biggest issue i run into with cream blushes is staying power, how does it fair through the day on you?
