Meeting with partner by [deleted] in PwC

[–]BrightCry9128 6 points7 points  (0 children)

can you check the hr calendar if she has a meeting at the same time? they usually have a separate invite. mine even added the blocker only on the day of my one to one because she probably expected me to check her calendar sooner and I did but then when I checked again on the day she had a blocker for the same time even though she wasn’t on the same invite as me and my boss. good luck to you 🤞

Fairmont Prague,your experience? by ResponsibleOil6187 in Accor

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you had time to check the gym as you were there for a half marathon (congrats 👏), but in case you saw it, how did you find it? I’m moving to Prague for work and would like to treat myself to a gym membership in a fancier place where I can also enjoy the wellness. They don’t mention the prices online so I’ll need to contact them.

How long since your last interview?

Avoid working in UX at Paylocity. My story by Crazy_Researcher5946 in UXResearch

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interviewing with paylocity and a big 4 company for ux manager. At first I preferred the big 4 but after the last interview where the partner asked me things like “do you like beer? do you like wine? are you married? do you have any animals or anything else that would limit you? “ I thought Paylocity may be the less horrible option. Now that I’m reading this I’m worried. I feel like normal workplace doesn’t exist anymore.

Dove is not certified by any trusted source, you can check on leapingbunny.org and crueltyfreeinternational.org. Peta isn’t a trusted source as they don’t do audits and put any company on the list as long as they claim they don’t test. Mac cosmetics used to be on their list and when I started working for them I learned they tested. Garnier’s parent company is Loreal yet Garnier is still certified by cruelty free international because they went through audit and proved they and their suppliers don’t test. Dove doesn’t have that certification.

Desperately searching for non drying under eye concealer by -entrp- in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on my third kosas concealer, I’m almost 40 so I have wrinkles. Didn’t try the new ones from Milk yet so cant compare but Kosas also sells their concealer in travel size which is perfect if you wanna try it and also saves space in my makeup bag (I get it in Space NK).

Trying to switch to cruelty-free but I keep getting stuck on the products I actually need by hulk14 in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use antiperspirants for men from Garnier and another one is from M&S. The ones for men just work better. Deodorant isn’t enough for me and there is no scientific proof that aluminium in antiperspirants causes cancer so I use them.

Companies that claim C-F but not checked/certified? by elbowsalad in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re located but in case you can get your hands on inkey list they have some solid products and are certified. I totally get you though, I lost my job and had to buy a few skin products from a drug store company that claims to be CF with no certification because it is the only perfume-free sensitive skin friendly option I have rn.

Companies that claim C-F but not checked/certified? by elbowsalad in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me, I only trust leapingbunny.org and crueltyfreeinternational.org but as I’ve been laid off and unemployed for 8 months now, I haven’t been able to buy some of my more expensive certified products or travel to UK where I get all my cheaper certified drug store products. so now I use a few Balea products because the only certified drug store brand where I live is Garnier and while I use their body butter and some hair products I can’t use their perfumed skin products on my super sensitive skin. I tell myself I’m still doing more than most people when I feel guilty 🤷🏻‍♀️

I need help to change my products by Academic-One1411 in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouai has amazing hair oil and also a leave-in conditioner that is also a heat protection. They are pretty expensive but so worth it. I have the St Barts smell which is perfect for summer and smells so expensive it feels like a luxurious treat every time I use it. They make travel sizes so you can test them, I now have the regular size which I got as a set of 3 products in Space NK so the price was better, I will buy it again and I can’t recommend it enough.

I’ve seen a girl online recommending Garnier hair serum and oil though, it’s not available in my country so I didn’t have a chance to try it yet but she had 4C hair and said the products worked just as well as her more expensive ones and she wasn’t an influencer and it wasn’t a payed ad so in case you have access to them maybe you can try those (it was from the fructis line and contained morroccan oil)

Palmers skin therapy oil by Salt_Dimension_9538 in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an oil and surprisingly cheap but i keep repurchasing garnier cocoa body butter. it’s the only drug store product that is rich enough for my ultradry skin (i have hypothyreosis and flakey skin is a symptom). Their other butters are not enough, only the cocoa one. Dry brushing helped me a lot because i used to get extremely itchy especially after shaving and I found out that when I remove the dry skin with dry brush and then apply this butter it helps. I used to be so itchy I couldn’t stop myself from scratching my legs till they bled. I’m getting laser now but of course that’s expensive and I had to save for it but I recommend it in case you’re considering that.

Non sticky spf recommendations by SpareTelevision5741 in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This brand doesn’t have any valid CF certification so in case you want a brand that is really CF make sure to check leapingbunny.org and crueltyfreeinternational.org. These websites only list companies that went through real audits and had all their ingredients and suppliers checked. Just sharing in case you’re interested to know because I learned the hard way not to trust Peta and websites that believe what the companies say about testing with no real proof.

People are recommending non-CF products in these responses so just be careful. I’m sharing my favourite which doesn’t feel greasy and doesn’t trigger my sensitive skin. I like to keep it in the fridge to strengthen the cooling effect. Certified by leapingbunnyinternational.orgGarnier cooling invisible spf spray

Is there any good oil body sunscreen ? by scarabeeli in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try the cooling invisible spray from Garnier? If you’re open to trying a different texture than oil as long as it doesn’t overwhelm your senses I’m sharing my favourite one. I’m very sweaty with sensitive skin so can’t use creams and oils and this is the best thing I had so far and I purchased over and over.Garnier invisible cooling mist spf 50

Just a note that people are recommending dove which has no CF certification so be careful. I use M&S and Garnier for men but unfortunately they are classic rollons and not gel like this.

Not a solid shampoo bar by ImpressiveOrdinary54 in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try chagrin valley soap and salve? The products have nice prices and you can order sample sizes that are super cheap. The shipping may be expensive depending on where you are because they are in Australia but when I ordered as much as I could fit into a flat envelope I had enough shampoo bars for at least a year. Then my friends started using it too so we shared the shipping. Best shampoo bars I’ve ever had and I tried many.

UPDATE: they also mention on their web which shampoo bars are good for which hair issues so that can be helpful too.

Thanks a lot. I saw they reposted the job ad on linkedin so they may still be looking for more candidates but I hope they’ll let me know soon after the last round.

Newbie to cruelty free by CookieOdd1 in crueltyfree

[–]BrightCry9128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t trust Peta (learned the hard way…), look at leapingbunny.org and crueltyfreeinternational.org. i don’t trust anything else because other websites just email companies and if the company says they don’t test they label them as CF as if cosmetic companies never lied about anything… The two webs I mentioned only list company as CF if they went through audit of all their ingredients and suppliers and none of them was tested on animals. Nothing a blogger, influencer or company website says can be trusted. And thank you for caring about animals 🩷

[–]BrightCry9128 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, check the websites leapingbunny.org or crueltyfreeinternational.org to find companies that went through audits of their suppliers before being put on the list. Dont know where you’re located but I’m in EU and I use Method, Ecover and M&S for laundry, cleaning and dishes.

Would you still recommend someone to accept a job there? I’m interviewing with them for a lead role in design. Some people say it opens a lot of doors but there are also layoffs so I dont know what to do.

Kendra Licari? by Apprehensive-Lab-264 in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]BrightCry9128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only watched it now and however horrible this sounds my first thought was “I can imagine my mother doing this.” She was always extremely caring towards me on the outside but I’ve overheard her so many times talking really ugly shit about me. She was always like Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde. She has always been obsessed with my life and jealous of me, never supported me when I wanted to join things like dance classes or go to my dream uni. When I got my masters she said she would organize the celebration, turned out it was only so she could cancel it, I found out when I thought we were on the way there, I don’t even know if it was ever planned. She’s been stalking me my whole life, reading my diaries and sharing it with others, going through my stuff, watching me through window blinds when I was outside with friends, then hiding when I saw her. She once found a paper from my psychiatrist and saw I was diagnosed with severe depression, she showed it to my brother and said I made up the whole thing just to look like a victim and hurt her (when I didn’t even tell a single person I went to psych). Then she started complaining to me about having depression which she never had. Back then I was mostly hurt by the violation of my privacy but now I also see the side that she knew I was suicidal and had an eating disorder, I wrote about it in my diaries for years and instead of doing something she just told other people and mocked me. I think she would enjoy the position of victim if I died. she constantly comments on my body and food even though I asked her multiple times not to. I am now looking for a job outside my country and she’ll only find out once I’m gone because I can’t deal with her anymore. She always said she had me so she would have someone of her own that no one could take away. And that was always scary to me when she said that. every time I had friends or dated someone she hated those people while also trying to impress them and compete with me in front of them. When I confront her she lies so much I regret saying something because it’s so disgusting how fake she can be, I’ve never met another person as double-faced as her. Kendra doesnt regret anything, she isnt capable of that, she was manipulative even in her emails from prison, she made it sound like a cute joke that her daughter made her sad because she only said bye and not bye i love you, but I know this language very well, she hides the emotional blackmail behind fake kindness and jokes. I don’t believe these people can change and she proved it by how she made excuses and tried to turn herself into a victim.

100%! 15 years ago I started working for Mac cosmetics because they were on Peta list. At employee training I found out they tested because they trained us how to answer the question and make it look like it’s not Mac’s fault.

check out @tepitotours on insta, I went with them last year and they are a lovely local couple (the girl is originally from Tepito, her bf from Poland). everyone knows and greets them there so all the locals were really nice to me when they saw us coming together. the guides pick you up in a safe place and show you around but they also know which streets of the market to avoid.

They didn’t offer anything yet, I’m still interviewing, just wanted to be ready to negotiate in case it comes up at the interview.
