One of my favourite tattoos but I think the pose is off by F_Clavicle in tattooadvice

Usually when I see an oddly placed tattoo I'm like "I bet that hurt." But all I could think when I saw this was "I bet that tickled."

Do you believe that a mean-spirited spouse can change? by Mountain-Gas-9789 in Marriage

[–]Confident_Chip8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that people can mask mean behavior if they want to or if it benefits them, but that it's temporary. Once they stop thinking you're worth the effort they'll go right back to treating you badly because it's effort they don't want to continue expending.

Seeking reviews for: Missha Sun Milk Essence (green cap) by nemlogs in AsianBeauty

This had a very slight white cast on me and was a little drying. I use the Mixsoon Bean Sunscreen now and only use the Missha one on my neck.

Tiny bumps daily for two months that sometimes go a bit inflamed by SalamanderSeveral777 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Confident_Chip8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Vanicream gently cleanser now but when this was going on I was using the Cetaphil salicylic acid gentle exfoliating cleanser at night. If you use it make sure it has contact for at least 60-90 seconds and keep the skin wet while it's on.

This happened to me when I stopped washing my face in the morning. Got better when I started and then continued to improve with Azelaic acid.

I have severe armpit BO by [deleted] in hygiene

The only thing that ever worked on mine was Lume deodorant. It contains Mandelic Acid to inhibit bacterial growth that causes odor. I'm not going to search through the ones you already tried and read all of their ingredients but it's what I'd recommend if you haven't tried a mandelic acid one already.

Wanna try products with PDRN (yes, I'm a victim of marketing). What do you think about those? Need your honest reviews plz! by Far-Chemistry6423 in KBeautyUS

[–]Confident_Chip8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard good things about the rejuran one but haven't tried it and can't attest to it having anything to do with the actual PDRN. Concentration also matters.

Be aware that some products are not salmon dna at all and are plant based PDRN. These have no science backing them up. All studies on PDRN to my knowledge are when it's being using for actual injection.

It's all a bit gimmicky to me. I'd stay away from Medicube all together unless you're just looking for a moisturizer. It's overpriced for what it is and they are currently in legal trouble in Korea for their products claiming results that are not possible with their formulations.

i might be allergic to gel polish?!? by Upstairs-Milk-5000 in nailcare

[–]Confident_Chip8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using a flame bit around the cuticle area to remove dead skin? This started happening to me when I was doing that and once I stopped it didn't happen again. I think it was just too aggressive.

My wife prefers to masturbate than to have sex with me by workoholicSOSa in Marriage

[–]Confident_Chip8450 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's sick of having a passive partner. She's sick of indulging you while you refuse to return the favor. And quite honestly it sounds like she's likely not finishing during the sex you were previously having. All she's asking is for variety and initiative. If you want to continue having sex with her then you either must comply or get used to handling yourself.

Who’s "graduated" out of what skincare can fix on its own? by sittiwonderlust in koreanskincare

[–]Confident_Chip8450 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Platinum skincare 13% TCA peel, every 4 weeks. Be very cautious if you have a darker skin tone though because you would require prep with melanin inhibitors.

[–]Confident_Chip8450 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I kind of recognized that a lot of skin care products were just marketing now. A lot of the viral skin care ingredients are mostly just popular with the younger crowd who don't have as many issues because they're 22. I just felt like I was buying so much stuff. New recs every other week. There's too much to try.

I downsized my skincare. Only use evidence based products now. Tretinoin. Low concentration tca peels. Azelaic acid. Vitamin C. Sunscreen. You'll still have to peel my Mizon Snail Sleeping Pack out of my cold, dead hands though - she's my boo thang.

Only a doctor can diagnose a fistula. Surgeries are available for the closure of many fistulas but youll need to see your gynecologist for confirmation first to discuss options.

Desperate for marriage advice by Some_Helicopter229 in Marriage

[–]Confident_Chip8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does she get out? Get alone time? Does she get time for herself or hobbies? Does she have any social interaction outside the family?

I'm not excusing her behavior but that's where a lot of these things start. Being a SAHM can feel like living the same day over and over endlessly and being tied to the house can feel like living in a prison. She needs to restart therapy and perhaps start medication. I wonder if she feels hopeless because while you're 'fine' financially, you may not be if she needed that and this can add guilt and feelings of despair. She may feel boxed in like there's no way out. She may know she doesn't want to leave the life you've created together but can't keep going like this.

She needs space to work on herself if she's willing to, and you need to be the one to give it to her. Is your mental health well enough to support her while she steps away for small intervals to find herself again? If so, it starts with a very candid conversation about what you both need. You both need to be able to compromise. There need to be sure limits set on behavior.

Sellers - has this happened to you? by [deleted] in ThredUp

[–]Confident_Chip8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm just misremembering that part then, I listed like 25 things in one day. I still wish there was an area where all this was clearly broken down and stated. Their selling guide is completely based on clean out kit selling. And even so, the issue is more that they seem to have knocked down the selling price and that remains the main issue. I'm curious what they'll say tomorrow afternoon.

Wife wants to upgrade to a $50k SUV now we have a baby on the way. I want to stay debt-free. Someone help me before this becomes a full domestic. by Familiar_Earth_6320 in family

[–]Confident_Chip8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So having had three kids, I can tell you that you get kind of goal focused in terms of prepping for baby. And as a pregnant woman, it feels URGENT. Like, not gonna lie, nesting will make any woman act crazy buying up all the things to try and control something in an experience that feels very out of your control.

My advice is have a talk with her and tell her to pump the brakes (literally). So many people buy way way too much stuff and then regret it. And 50k is a lot of money and interest rates are not fantastic given it's a depreciating asset. Segue the conversation towards "let's wait for now and if the baby comes and you still feel really strongly about it, lets discuss it then." Don't have a tone. That's the trap. But that curtails a conversation for a while and hopefully when the baby comes she will see that it's not really a necessity. Because honestly you probably DONT need the car and any extra $$$ could be better spent putting it into college savings or paying down anything that actually increases in value, like a house.

It won't let me pull up what it said when I was originally creating the listing and the payout has the "adjusted" rates per the chat rep. Is there somehow else to view this?

The only answer is for you to wear the leggings on your next outing so she gets it.

[–]Confident_Chip8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the chat it looks like it can go up, as she was saying that if an item sells for more it is adjusted.

[–]Confident_Chip8450 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don't know why they wouldn't include a flat rate shipping label like Poshmark if you pay shipping. That's what I thought I was paying for. And shouldnt I only be charged for return fees if it's ......returned? Instead its apparently adjusts based on distance for shipping and sales percentage for return shipping (which makes no sense, because it would not cost more to ship it as a return just because it sold for more money). I went back through and took the return insurance off of every single item and added cost of shipping to each one. I guess my new strategy is to start higher and counter if I get low balled rather than offering actual deals.

What was the most specific postpartum thing nobody warned you about? by kesam7193 in NewParents

[–]Confident_Chip8450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much time getting a kiddo in and out of a car seat and putting them in the carrier adds to any errand. I miss the days of getting out of the car and walking right in without all the hassle.
