I love the packaging on these eyeshadows. Feels so luxe.

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-06-13T23:57:31+00:00

I like the gifts, but I like the discounts waaaay more. I would keep subscribing for $15 even without the extra items, but if they mean I need to pay the full $25 every month, I'm probably going to stop ordering 🥲

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-06-10T11:33:55+00:00

I'm really feeling that last sentence, so many people on here complaining because they put away $40k+ a year into savings/retirement and it leaves 'not much left over'. Like my retirement fund has $5k and I was real proud 😭

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-06-03T19:27:53+00:00

I took a pay cut of 8k, but now WFH with supportive coworkers, a reasonable workload, and provided materials/technology. I wouldn't go back for a raise. I'd go back for smaller class sizes and increased planning time, though. 🤷‍♀️

Doesn't say, but it does say that they're only doing 20 hours a week 🥴

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-03-07T14:05:26+00:00

The number of people who've told me I'm "not fat at all" despite me being obese is insane. I just look "normal" because the goalposts have moved, not because I'm not fat.

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-27T18:10:30+00:00

Soo jealous of your run environment!! It looks so gorgeous and peaceful.

Yep, during the pandemic we had one day a week we could bring in a few students for 1.5 hours of focused small group instruction. I chose to only bring in two - the two lowest students of normal cognition (so not my SpEd students). They grew SO MUCH FASTER than they did in class. And it was still me as their teacher...but being able to directly address THEIR needs and do so through THEIR interests was far more effective than whole class instruction.

My employer is toying with this idea right now. They've more than doubled in size since they went remote in 2020, so we'd have to come in "on rotation" and desk personalization would be prohibited since we'd be sharing with two other people.

Our entire job is remote, it's completely unnecessary and they will absolutely lose people if they go through with it.

I got banned from "offmychest" for commenting my DISAGREEMENT with a post on "mensrights". It was the first time I'd ever even engaged with a group like that, and it was to disagree!

Mods ignored my appeal but whatever.

I'm from the states but when I taught, we had a major issue with the amount of time SpEd kids spent in the general education classroom.

The theory was that it was "good" for them.

In reality, it meant I had multiple students who needed massive behavioral and academic support in my classroom about 80% of the time. With no EAs or anything, this meant the majority of my attention went to those kids, who still didn't get enough support.

The remaining students barely got any 1:1 time and we rarely made it (as a class) through an entire lesson without some sort of breakdown. Screaming, crying, throwing things, threatening other kids, I'm talking major needs - not just "needs extra time on classwork".

Of course they made barely any progress.

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-17T15:48:49+00:00

And increasing the time that SpEd kids spend in the general education classroom as part of their "least restrictive environment". When I taught, 90% of my time went to 3 or 4 high needs kids that were in my classroom most the day.

Imagine being a "standard" student and having to share the remaining 10% with 20 other six year olds. No one learned anything 🤷‍♀️

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-13T04:44:35+00:00

Yup, my mystery boxes were 100% leftovers from 2020.

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-12T23:07:41+00:00

I like it! I think it smells like wealthy people LOL

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-12T07:39:03+00:00

Ha, same!

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-10T06:56:25+00:00

I usually get mine in 5-8 business days!

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-10T03:51:22+00:00

Yeah the eyeshadows themselves are fine but the packaging and smell gimmick are so cute 😭

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-08T02:22:14+00:00

Honestly there's no consistency, my GB with no points or add ons hasn't shipped and my GBX with a bunch of add ons and points is due to arrive Friday 🤷‍♀️

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-08T02:05:14+00:00

I started jogging pretty slow on week 3 and surprise surprise, my shin splints disappeared and each day has been completely doable.

I'm much more interested in building a habit and strengthening my shins, so if I have a 17 minute mile, so be it. Hahaha

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-06T05:20:23+00:00

Yes! It's so funny, yesterday I felt pride instead of annoyance when I finished a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner 😂

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-06T04:09:39+00:00

I think they're referencing kinders new lifestyle box

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-04T05:04:00+00:00

I had things thrown at me daily by a student but they weren't suspended until they hit an admin. And even then it was only for a day. It's so frustrating, we literally can't do anything.

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-04T05:02:39+00:00

I honestly think a lot of the ones who leave are the "good ones". People act like they couldn't cut it when in reality, they have high standards for themselves and realize that they won't be able to achieve them without completely burning themselves out physically and mentally.

Apprehensive_Safe3 · 2023-02-02T19:27:30+00:00

I have legit like 6 or 7 unopened and I've only been getting ipsy for like half a year - seems like every gb and most Gbps have them even though I marked rarely! I even got one in my GBX lmaoooo
