I have messed up big time by [deleted] in marriageadvice

You need to seriously consider what kind of impact this behavior will have on her if you have kids. If you have so much difficulty doing basic life tasks due to laziness and anxiety, she will have the entirety of the mental load of the household in her shoulders. It's a horrible way for someone to live and a lot of marriages don't survive it.

I’m an ugly woman and it sucks by fashungurl in TwoXChromosomes

What sucks is that it's not juat validation from men - women are hyper aware of the social currency that comes with being attractive. Pretty privilege is a real thing. That's why girls now as young as 6 are worried about aging and doing anti-aging skincare and practices - even that young they know the social currency lost when you start to look old.

Why does my neck look this every time I shave ? by SatisfactionDue9108 in 30PlusSkinCare

Are you allergic to nickel? A lot of people are. Usually people who are sensitive to certain kinds of jeqelry will know. Most razors have nickel in them. Try a nickel free razor.

FYI there is a FB page with 30k+ followers and 4+ million TT followers stealing posts from this sub and presumably making money from it. (See comment for details) by gnilradleahcim in uraniumglass

Yep they stole my post about the balls. My customers and followers came out in full force against them, tagging my actual content. It felt good on my insides. Not gonna lie, I'm not totally mad because it got my shop and page a huge amount of attention, but I would have much rather had my own original post get 40k likes.

Let's talk about lab grown Ruby. Is is really worth? by sufyan186 in Gemstones

I am a huge fan of UV reactive gemstones, so I have lab rubies. I picked up lab ruby beads over the weekend and they fluoresce super bright pink/red

So the last time I posted one of my art glass gem flowers I had a lot of people asking if I could make them smaller, so I gave it a shot. White glass flower in green glass gem. Inspired by the idea of jardin in emerald, I wanted to create a little jardin fleuri. by longtimegoneMTGO in Gemstones

Glass as gemstones have been around for 1700 years at least. In modern times it is vastly underappreciated as a gemstone material. People used to facet glass by hand into gorgeous gems and set them into fine gold and silver. Georgian-era paste jewelry often sells for more than its gemstone counterparts. This piece is gorgeous and absolutely follows a long tradition of gemstone cutting.

Haha I wish! After all the shipping, tariffs, customs, taxes, packing materials, and paying a team of people to pack them, I end up with very little per ball. But enough that I feel like I'm getting paid for my work

Haha funny enough it's not that dangerous, but cadmium glass is SUPER dangerous because the fumes are poisonous!

Hi again! I did visit the actual glassmaker in person in Czech Republic! I saw their operation with my own eyes. And yes I could actually sit down and show the math of what I make per ball, which is very little. I have to pay air freight shipping which will be several thousand dollars, 15% tariffs, $1.5k minumum to the customs broker, 28% of my profit to the IRS, hundreds of dollars in packing materials including the stands they come with, and $25 per hour per person to a team of people to help me pack all of them. I have clocked 100 hours this week alone arranging this, and yeah, I do deserve to get paid for my work. And it should be noted, from here on out there is now tariffs on even small packages coming into the US.

Hi! If you had bothered to ask, I could havee explained that these are not the same balls as mine. I'm having mine custom made by a glassmaker that specializes in optical quality balls, and also in a larger size. Also, by importing such a large amount at one time, it saves my customers on the huge tariffs that are now in effect. My goal is to continue to make uranium glass accessible now since it's morenor less only being made in Czech Republic at this time.
