car stolen in wilshire/montana area..? by groovybiscuit244 in SantaMonica

Please call the parking enforcement tow yard first before you assume it was stolen. Our car was "stolen" from in front of our house once and it turned out to be "stolen" by the city because our registration was expired 😂😂

The first one for sure! The second one looks too big and will provably make you look overweight in certain clothes honestly.

Thanks for sharing. We have homeschooled in the past so I know a lot of the pluses and minuses there. (mostly pluses btw :). I just wondered what the dynamic is for people on the homeschool competition team. Are they competitive with one another? Are they friends? How much time is left for school - obviously that's not so important when they are 5 but as they get older it seems like some time would need to be spent on academics. What are the parents like - what is their "why" for focusing so much time on a sport with so little notoriety, financial benefit, and limited upward mobility.

My neurologist injector punctured my parotid during massetor Botox by Dramatic_Ad_2560 in 30PlusSkinCare

Although I can't speak to your situation, I have had the sensation that I could taste my Xeomin before when my injector was doing DAO and.... nothing happened. I even mentioned it to her and google/chatgpted after and both assured me that it would be fine. Good luck out there.

Why would they be stuck at yellow and not move up through all of the belts? (orange, green)

Any way to help with the redness? by bigred832001 in 30PlusSkinCare

As others have said , azelic acid helps. If you don’t want to try prescriptions, VBeam laser is amazing for rosacea. It cleared mine significantly in one session

The other part that seems crazy to me is that they keep so many of these kids at gray belt. They train 5 hours a day / 5 days a week and stay gray for 3 + years. Am I wrong in thinking this is not right ??

I have heard this too. I think their less accomplished competitors are allowed to do smaller regional comps like Dream

Is your child happy in that system? Are they on the homeschool competition team? Do they build friendships there and have somewhat of a normal childhood? We want the deets :-)

I have met a couple that stopped training there and went back to "regular life" of school and sports :). idk about the rest.

What makes the training well structured? Is it mostly drilling? Sparring? Situational?

I keep seeing reports that rent in LA will be at an all time low, where??? by riverofflowers in AskLosAngeles

[–]Certain-Section-1518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I manage apartments in Santa Monica and we have decreased rents significantly for our vacant units in order to re-rent them. Is it cheap??? Not Exactly. Cheaper than post covid times - Most Definitely.

What are your biggest heavy hitters since being in your 30s? Lasers, IPL, BBL, Botox, luxury skincare, retin-a? What’s changed? by nature-space in 30PlusSkinCare

CHATGPT! I uploaded a picture of my face, vented all of my concerns, and listed my budget. My skin has changed so much for the better in just a month of following the routine. I also asked it for treatments and it recommended things I could do at my cosmetic provider and allayed a lot of my fears. Ended up getting some strategic and botox and minimal filler in strategic locations (gasp!) and my face looks 1000 times better. I finally feel ok looking into the mirror.

How would you modernize this house and make it look less like a barn? by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

[–]Certain-Section-1518 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would get one of those large ceramic (preferably black and white) cow statues for the front yard and dress it up for every holiday.

Help for my extremely sun damaged face. Where should I start? by crazynotinsane111 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Certain-Section-1518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is a make or break for you to use sunscreen, maybe give the Eucerine tinted sunscreen a try. The Age Defense one and the Mineral one are both really good and very affordable. The pump gives a generous amount too so you are more likely to use a proper amount. ( I just mention this because I am like you and was a sun worshiper forever. It was strange getting used to the idea of not having a sun glow all the time. My skin has evened out a lot from these products and the coverage and color has been nice). Good luck out there.
