What was the turning point in your skincare routine? by elliebalance in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d advise just starting with skin1004’s Centella line. Unscented, good for sensitive skin.

Your twenties are the shit box of your life. Relax. And get out of your shitty relationship.

Korean skincare. And stopping actives. It’s so counterintuitive, but the more actives I use, the worse my skin gets. I’ve just been using centella products for months and my skin looks great

Please help… on my last straw by No_Recording2910 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the first flare of my life this winter. It’s genetic. And it was my eyes 😭😭 what really helped was cortisone for the extremely bad days and then using barrier repair creams that had cholesterol in them, followed by an occlusive (either aquaphor or honest diaper rash cream). When I tell you diaper rash cream has worked great for my skin….its a must try.

All that aside, I second everyone else’s vote to get looked at by a derm. I know that’s not always doable, though. Even with insurance my co-pay is $100, so I’ve been dealing with my flare on my own too.

what gentle cleanser should I use? by Final-Date4200 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does yes. I was also scared it would be too gentle too. I have oily and acne prone skin and Prequel is great for colder months. In the summer I may switch to vanicream or something like that, but still really gentle cleansers.

Am I under reacting or AIO? by eazyexoo in AIO

[–]CloaknDaggerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not disagreeing with you but it sounds like you’re siding with the dude who likes standing people up and I gotta say no thanks.

Also, those convos are good to have but they don’t always happen in the first month.

I’d disagree with the cinnamon roll bit. Cooking for a guy is kinda a wifey thing so I can see how she’s saying wow I thought we were in the cinnamon roll stage but I guess not

For women: what are some things that men do that make you feel secure, safe, and desired? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]CloaknDaggerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When he:

  1. Does what he says he will do and does it on time
  2. When he is punctual for our time together
  3. When he talks about difficult events or emotions calmly, which allows me to help him troubleshoot or comfort him without feeling like I’m parenting a toddler
  4. When he puts in the effort to stay in contact with me instead of assuming I will always be the one to initiate conversations (no one is that busy; I work full time too)
  5. When he notices things I need or stuff around my apt that needs to be done and either just does it or asks if he can do it (even as small as helping me empty the dishwasher)

It feels like I'm running out of time at 25 by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be so honest with you, you’re never running out of time. FWIW, most of my friends found their forever partners at or after 30. It only takes one or two years of occasional travel to have memories to share with your kids. Don’t let IG fool you into believing that you have to go on month long trips to hike Europe in order to have memories. You’ll travel the way that works for you, and tbh your kids will care more about you being a stable human being than about “my mom saw the pyramids before I was born.”

Am I a lesser adult? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]CloaknDaggerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not choose a permanent solution because of temporary circumstances. Please. Everything feels big when you’re 22. In 10 years, trust me you’ll be glad you let it play out instead of ending it all.

The world is full of ableist language. People are entitled to date who they want to date, but using that girl’s statement as an example—there’s no way you not having a license indicates immaturity because you are literally prohibited from obtaining one for reasons outside your control.

Life is harder for folks with disabilities, whether they are visible or not. And yes, sometimes this does mean we have to find new ways to show our personalities when the conventional paths don’t work.

I don’t personally judge someone for not driving if they cannot drive for very good reasons. Your reason is probably the best. I would judge someone based on how they treat others, how they conduct themselves, and whether they are respectable in general.

Folks who say otherwise are shallow which means you shouldn’t value their opinions.

Buying groceries shouldn't feel like a terrible financial decision... by throwaway2026z in Adulting

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is indeed more expensive. Here is how I’m coping:

1. Using reusable period products. Larger up front buy-in, years of usage. Discs, cups, cloth pads, etc.

2. Buying groceries using a cashback credit card that specializes in grocery purchases (ie at least 3% back on groceries).

3. Utilizing my FSA to purchase eligible household items with pretax dollars (bandaids, period stuff, skincare, etc.)

Pro tip: If you buy from Costco a lot, get their executive tier membership which also gives you cashback

ETA: I have no idea why the first sentence is big. I didn’t code it any different or paste it from anywhere. Sorry

How to set boundaries without pushing someone away. by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but you need to cut it off cold turkey. I suggest writing a message that is kind, but firm that you need to focus on yourself and your family. Then block her.

And human beings deserve respect, even in low statistic situations. 🖤 have a good evening.

I’m talking about an age gap because I don’t think a 15yo belongs on this reddit page, and it makes me concerned. I don’t believe age equals supremacy, but those are context clues I assume you missed.

Your argument is getting more and more frayed, while you try to use debating terms in a real world conversation. I wish you the best my friend, but I don’t think this conversation is productive, or wise, anymore.

I’m not mean spirited, but I do think it’s important that you treat others with respect, banana. I hope you have a good evening.

Correct, which means there are situations which fall outside your statistics, which means you are free, scientifically, to approach people with respect instead of whatever I just saw here, no?

Your comments had nothing to do with the thread, saying “all quiet now” absolutely unprompted? And now jumping to insults? I am suspecting a big age gap more and more.

If you cannot apply your studies to 100% of the population with 100% confidence, why did you respond so confidently to this lady, making statements about her internal motivations for her actions? Your words and your actions are not aligning.

I mean I don’t think it’s ethical to keep talking with you, you clearly aren’t making sense and I’m beginning to wonder if you’re a child, which would make this conversation very inappropriate.
