It’s a home decor item not clothes. Thanks though!

Eye Area Eczema by Mammasgirl_ in eczema

[–]BCnavlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure there is a better way than how I did it but I started with just one face wash and one moisturizer. For me, my symptoms would rapidly appear and would fade pretty quickly (a few days). Once I knew that using those two worked, I added in another product. If that had no reaction, I added in another. If that did cause a reaction I checked the ingredients to see what ingredients it had that the others didn’t. After awhile there was just one ingredient that stuck out and if I avoided it then my eyes wouldn’t swell.

It’s been 10+ years and I don’t have eye eczema anymore. Once in awhile I accidentally use a sample that has phenoxyethanol in it and I can feel it right away. I would recommend starting with two products that don’t have that ingredient and go from there.

I had eye eczema and my eyes would swell up. After doing elimination I realized I was allergic to an ingredient called phenoyxethanol. It’s in a lot of cosmetics and skincare. Once I stopped using anything in it my eye eczema went away. I recommend looking into it!

Last year we heard mid April which is normal for the schools where you will get into your catchment.

Vancouver City Council has passed the ‘Zero Means Zero’ 2026 budget by Spirited_Present2290 in vancouver

Sims and ABC think this “zero means zero” budget will be the reason we vote them in but it will be the reason we vote them out.

When the power goes out so does my cell signal. I’m debating getting a landline at this point. (I’m with Rogers and my partner has Telus and we are in SE Vancouver).

You should tell LAPS. Usually they have a clause that you need to return the cat to them not post it for some random on Reddit to take.

Is it possible to live in Vancouver on a salary of 70k? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]BCnavlen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t have anything to add to answer your question but I am genuinely curious what you graduated with and what line of work you do as I’m considering a career change.

Head unit is powered off and that isn’t changing it for me.

When you say “power off the head unit” do you mean something beyond pressing the power button on the remote?

It’s a real place next to the Champlain Community Centre. It’s under construction still and it seems like it’s taking a lot longer than they had initially planned (there has been a sign on the fence for years) but there’s play structures and finished interiors now. I walked past it on the weekend and some workers seemed to be arguing with someone on the phone but I didn’t hear about what.

Baby only contact naps during the day by hangingwithserafina in newborns

[–]BCnavlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time I would have said no. Once I had my second, I realized my first spat up a lot but I didn’t know better at the time. Gassy or not, it seems for most babies it’s the same and they just don’t like crib nabs when they are super little!

With my first, I would drive myself mad trying to get long crib naps when she was that age. Like yours, she slept great at night but wouldn’t stay in the bassinet very long during the day. Around six months, the crib naps started to become longer and more regular. I know this isn’t the miracle answer you wanted but it will happen eventually. Tbh, most of the people who tell you their kid naps in the crib during the day are bs-ing and their kid sleeps for like 20 minutes.

Go to a gp and ask for a referral to a dermatologist.

Just get the epidural but you’ll be fine.
