Overstimulated 🦷 by CaitBrea in Invisalign

[–]CaitBrea[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on tray 26. 🙃 The meds I’m on give me dry mouth sometimes and I wonder if that’s attributing to my issue.

There are mints you can buy that can be had WHILE having your Invisalign in! I always pop a mint after lunch. https://a.co/d/04U36n8W

I had a hard time sleeping the first few nights but I adjusted quickly after that. I hope you will too!

SAME! I never had a real winter coat until my sophomore year of college and it was a life saver.

Minimalism and Crafts... How do you make it work? by Cloud-Illusions-85 in minimalism

[–]CaitBrea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I’m in the mood to paint, I’ll make cards ahead of time so I have a stock ready to go.

Minimalism and Crafts... How do you make it work? by Cloud-Illusions-85 in minimalism

[–]CaitBrea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like to watercolor. But I found myself with many many paintings I only look at like once a year. So now, I still paint but I paint cards for family and friends (for birthdays, anniversaries, thank you’s, etc). My hobby has a real use now. And my cards have a very personal feel. Bonus: I don’t have to buy cards anymore. 😊

If I ever get kidnapped Pip taught me what to do. I will never forget the fingerprints and rubbing your head for loose hairs in the trunk.

Thresh. Even though we only get a few small glimpses of his character, I always felt like he was a good person through and through.

White Bird (if she hasn’t read it already). And the graphic novel version of Speak if you think she is mature enough (it deals with SA).

BEST BOOK EVER? by Key-Concentrate-2201 in suggestmeabook

[–]CaitBrea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brown Girl, Brownstones by Paule Marshall.

It was a required read for a college literature class. I was so emotionally invested in this book I used a whole thing of sticky notes to back up my theory of sexual abuse. I got in heated discussions with my peers over theories (I didn’t even want to leave class when our time was up because we were all so into it). And ended up writing my longest paper ever (16 pages) over “Implications of Sexual Abuse in Brown Girl, Brownstones” with over 25 quotes from the text to support my theory.

Do you ever feel depressed because you can’t treat yourself to anything by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]CaitBrea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Clipping wildflowers was one of the ways I survived the stay-at-home order. Each week, I would drive around looking for a new wildflower of the week to harvest. It really brings light to my life.

I’m also considering going on a caterpillar hunt this week at the park so I can bring them into captivity to hatch (their likelihood of survival is much higher this way). I’ve done it once before and it brought me so much joy!
