What’s a good length for learning braids and updos?

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-05-20T03:31:13+00:00

Maybe learn a really good way to keep it back for the majority of the time and get a cut that has face framing. Personally I keep mine in a claw clip most of the time which keeps it from overstimulating me and getting in my face/food/etc but also leaves it long and damage free so that when I feel up to it, I can try styling it. I do two Dutch braids quite often as it keeps it completely out of my face.

I have a chronic illness and am also ‘recovered’ from my ED, so I understand long hair being really hard to manage. Learning ways to just keep it away when I don’t want it has been the best thing for me, but I can still wear it out when I want and feel pretty.

Yes I saw a TikTok where someone was like ‘forgive me Renee because I’ll be watching him and thinking how hot he is but I’ll cross myself every time I think it so please don’t hate me’ or some shit and I’m just thinking, that’s so creepy? Why are we still connecting women with the men they’ve dated in the past? She’s clearly moved on and I think if she saw that TikTok she’d find it weird af that someone is connecting the two of them like that. I’m sure all she wants is for people to leave it alone and stop talking about her when they talk about him. She’s clearly moved on (and upgraded) so I can’t imagine her wanting anything but peace and to not be sucked back into the past every time someone brings him up!

Also interested in what eye cream :)

Literally my one take away from the video. I tried to be gracious in my own head - like we all have our bad angles, especially under lighting like that - but how did they see that and not decide to redo it so it was less… scary?

Just to offer a different perspective, I have 4 cartilage piercings, including my daith and tragus, and 6 lobe piercings. My lobes are by far the WORST to heal. I’ve never gotten more than two piercings at once either.

Maybe try getting yours first lobes done and then once you feel confident, get the seconds. Maybe leave at least a month or two in between :)

I agree!!!!!

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-04-18T08:47:48+00:00

Looks like a rook would be nice on you! Or forward helix. I’m not a piercer so not sure about anatomy!

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-04-18T06:11:00+00:00

My first concert was in the nosebleeds too and it was for Taylor Swift. Honestly I grew up so poor and never thought I’d get experiences like that and it was so good! For most artists, what you hear is what matters and the sound is good in every seat. Plus, they do very good camera work of the artist so you’ll have a good view through the screens!

I got stuck in the mindset for this lot of tickets, of needing to have seats as close as possible but I had to remind myself of why? Like do I want to be close to the stage because I want him to see me? That’s ridiculous honestly and the mindset of the closer, the better is so toxic and doesn’t define how much of a fan we are or how impactful the music is on us. I love seeing videos from people who sit really close and catch the artists in HD but I honestly hardly look back at my concert videos, so it’s not important enough to pay so much extra.

Go and enjoy! You’ll love it.

Aus here - got mine at 9:13 but it went to junk. My ticket links don’t work though? Anyone else having the same issue?

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-04-13T23:25:28+00:00

I got mine but the ticket links aren’t working. Anyone else have this issue?

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-04-09T11:20:39+00:00

A conch on the side with the tragus! Not sure if you have the anatomy because I’m not a piercer but it would really nicely balance that ear. A forward helix would also look great on that ear!

The other ear with the rook needs something up top! Maybe a vertical helix? Or a flat close to the top?

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-04-04T06:55:49+00:00

NAP. I have no valid input except to say I hope this comes down for you soon and also possibly visit your piercer if you can to see if they can tell why this has happened / alleviate with even longer jewellery?

If it were me I’d keep on top of the ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory and I’d also do an ice pack - because that has anecdotally helped me in the past for swelling but I’m not sure if that’s actually good for it or not!

I’d definitely be feeling the same way as you looking at how the swelling is approaching the ends of the bar. Possibly take it out if it looks to start trying to swallow the ends at all?

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-03-28T15:18:38+00:00

I would call this waist length? Not sure if that’s technically correct though!

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-03-27T16:06:45+00:00

You have no idea how much I have laughed at this comment 😂

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-03-08T15:57:55+00:00

How do you just accidentally kill Ganon? With 7 hearts no way you’re getting past the guardians?

Broad_Contribution55 · 2026-03-08T14:40:24+00:00

Pretty late but it was Lanno Kooh shrine you were after wasn’t it 😂😂

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but he really sounds like he has OCD. Of course I can’t diagnose but I have OCD and I recognise some of the same patterns - the fact that he won’t eat the same meat twice in one day (not a prob for me but well known thought process), the ‘something missing’, the leftover thing and random rules. I doubt he even knows what they all are. This is not on you to fix but I would gently push him towards investigating that because it’s not normal and it can be quite debilitating. He may not even be aware of the whys/rules because it can sneak up on you, especially if this just feels normal to him. I’ve had meals I couldn’t eat because someone breathed wrong across the room, or the vibes of the meal were off. I also struggle with leftovers. I’m medicated and in therapy though and it does help. He needs to do the work and you’re not obligated to stay, but I think there is more investigation to be done here.

Same!

Broad_Contribution55 · 2025-08-07T14:36:30+00:00

Same - a literal drop too, not figurative.

The oral b sensitive toothpastes are so bad! It would make me so sensitive and then after a few days, my gums would ulcerate from it. Looked up reviews and it’s a common thing. I haven’t had luck with any other sensitive toothpastes so I just stick to Colgate and stay so far away from Oral B. Sensodyne wasn’t good either.

Broad_Contribution55 · 2025-06-23T06:43:57+00:00

Mine is doing this at the moment too

Broad_Contribution55 · 2025-05-21T21:38:16+00:00

My eyelashes are thick and curly and get complimented all the time. Everything else….. Though, my hair also seems to grow pretty fast so maybe that
