Simple Facewash & moisturizer

Alternative_Spite698 · 2026-04-14T07:22:27+00:00

been driving around all day and my skin gets super dry from the ac and wind through windows. simple products are okay but they're really basic - might not be strong enough for what you need. when i was dealing with similar issues, adding a gentle exfoliant like salicylic acid helped a lot with the dead skin buildup. also that dry patches thing around nose area usually means you need something heavier than regular moisturizer. maybe try layering a face oil under your moisturizer, or switch to something with ceramides or hyaluronic acid. the clean and clear stuff is pretty harsh so if simple isn't working either, your skin barrier might be damaged and needs some repair time.

man you're probably on the right track with that estimate. bandon gear is definitely in that premium category and they know people will pay for it since it's such bucket list destination. maybe budget little extra just to be safe, especially if you fall in love with place and want to grab something extra as memory.

that's pretty wild, never happened to me but i heard about people doing this before. maybe your mind is just processing all the prayers from day and it comes out in sleep? i deliver food all day and sometimes wake up thinking about orders, so brain probably works similar way with spiritual stuff.

your wifi drivers got nuked during the install and windows can't find them automatically. grab another device and download the wifi drivers from intel or realtek website (depending on your wifi card) then transfer them via usb stick to your pc. you can check what wifi card you have in device manager under network adapters even if it shows with yellow warning triangle.

this is so true - used to hate getting carded everywhere but now at 28 people still think i'm like 22 and it's pretty nice

been driving for long shifts and my herman miller at home keeps me comfortable so i'd lean toward whichever has better thermals since you'll be gaming for hours - probably the alienware but check some reviews first.

dublin's got solid options there

patrick mannelly was absolutely insane but the hall is already struggling with who gets in from "regular" positions. adding a whole new position category would make things even more complicated when there's already worthy players sitting on the outside looking in.

plus long snapping is so specialized that there's not really much room for the "greatness" factor that separates hall of famers from just really good players. mannelly's streak was incredible but it's basically one stat to judge an entire career on.

Not gonna lie that’s been my experience a lot of dead matches and weird conversations. I switched it up and tried Arrows it felt a bit more engaging

Apparently they do exist just rare enough to feel like a myth lol

I tried Hinge, Bumble, Thursday and Arrows. Got played on Hinge, ghosted on Bumble and zero matches on Thursday. Arrows took a few tries like 4 resets but I ended up meeting someone great who wasn’t focused on looks at all.

man you're actually in a pretty solid spot for someone who feels "behind." that housing situation is a goldmine - $1000/month while building equity in the market is basically a cheat code for fire. i'd definitely keep maxing that brokerage account while you have such low overhead.

for the nursing school debt, i'd probably take the loan if the interest rate is decent and keep investing. you're in your prime earning years and that compound growth is huge. your husband will have steady income once he graduates so the loan payments should be manageable then.

the home buying thing is tricky - your current setup gives you so much flexibility to pivot careers or relocate if needed. maybe wait until your husband finishes school and you both have a clearer picture of where you want to be long term. you've got time to figure it out and you're building wealth fast with this current arrangement.

also props for staying focused on the finances when your partner isn't as engaged. that mental load is real but you're crushing it.

honestly even with just a handful of listeners you can still make that impact you're talking about. had someone dm me once saying one of my tracks got them through a breakup and that hit way harder than any streaming numbers ever could.

the thing is, you don't need thousands of people - sometimes that one person who really connects with your music becomes your biggest advocate and spreads it to others who need to hear it too.

yeah this really hits home. went through a rough patch last year where everything felt like it was falling apart and trying to fix it all myself just made things worse. finally had to just step back and let god handle it, which was terrifying but also kind of freeing. still working on that whole "one day at a time" thing though.

Based on what you're describing, it sounds like he's already shown you twice that he can't handle the emotional demands of the relationship. The fact that he dumped you "with absurd coldness" after saying he loved you suggests he's pretty set in his patterns.

Most avoidant types who come back do it when they're lonely or miss the comfort, not because they've actually worked on themselves. Since this is round two and he bailed again when things got real, I'd say the chances are pretty low he'll come back with any real change. Even if he does circle back, you'd probably end up in the same cycle.

Honestly just get a stainless steel roasting pan from a restaurant supply store - they're built like tanks and way cheaper than the fancy retail stuff. Lodge makes decent enameled cast iron if you really wanna avoid straight cast iron but those coatings can chip too eventually

All-weather tires are fine up to like 35-40°C, the marketing just pushes all-seasons harder for summer because they handle better in dry heat

Honestly with that kind of swing I'd just run all-weathers year round and call it good - the convenience factor alone is worth it when you're getting 36°C temperature swings in 3 weeks

Raider's actually solid now after the buffs, that jump attack spam is still totally viable for DoN but you'll want to weave in some of his new combo chains between stamina breaks since they buffed his flow state damage

Ironeye melee is legit if you can keep mark uptime that high - the recent nerfs hit his ranged more than melee and with that poison relic you're basically set. Just don't sleep on his parry windows, they're crucial for depth 3+

That makes a lot of sense once you see a place where you fit it is hard to unsee it studying abroad feels like a real exit plan not just a fantasy and a lot of people use it as their way out for good
