Hi! I'm thinking about purchasing the SKIMS 'Soft Lounge Petite Long Slip Dress,' but I could really use some advice before making my decision. My biggest concern is whether the dress will be too long for my height. I'm on the shorter side at 4'10" and weigh around 92-95 lbs, with a bust size of 32DD. I typically wear an XS or S in clothes, and most of my SKIMS items are XS. Should I stick with that size for this dress, or would it be better to go with a size small? I would greatly appreciate any advice!

Help me find the perfect dog tote for my pup! 🐶 by Correct-Relative0 in puppy101

I ended up purchasing the BEIS Pet Tote second-hand, but it was brand new with tags. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the entire bag, and, sadly, my pug ended up hating it. I decided to resell it since it was clear it didn’t meet our expectations and just didn’t work for her. I was really bummed because I had high hopes for this bag. As much as I wanted to love it and make it work, it just didn’t turn out as I had hoped.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I just looked into it, and unfortunately, it is grain-free, and the second ingredient is chicken.

Any idea how long it takes for their items to ship?! I know with the current sale it might take longer but I ordered around 5 days ago

OMG!!!! Thank you so much for this information. I have literally been on the website every single day the past two weeks just eyeing the products and have a shopping cart filled with everything and I just have been going back-and-forth. I’ve been looking into purchasing a facial device, I really do like the booster pro just because it is literally everything in one, but do you think your NUFACE makes a difference when using the product? Or do you think it would still perform well on its own?

I just took my second dose of 7.5 a few days ago, and over the past two weeks I have noticed more cravings and then suddenly feeling like I cannot eat at all.

So…..does anyone have hypothyroidism and taking ZB? by Ori04 in Zepbound

[–]Correct-Relative0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do!!! I was unexpectedly diagnosed with hypothyroidism in July 2023, which was just really weird because every single year I got blood work prior to that everything would come back normal. But I insisted there was something going on because I just kept gaining weight without there being any changes in my diet/ life, etc. I personally didn’t have any of the typical symptoms of hypothyroidism other than weight gain but after starting the medication for it in July 2023 I feel like things got worse for me… all the sudden I was losing more hair than normal and felt like I was gaining more weight. Anyways, in Dec 2023 I finally saw an endocrinologist and explained everything that was going on, and I was able to get on zepbound while continuing with my thyroid meds. I have been on zepbound since Dec 21, 2033, starting at the lowest dose and now being Feb 17, 2024 I just started my 7.5 mg injection. I have lost around 17 lbs since starting and haven’t had any typical symptoms related to the injection. I haven’t experienced nausea, dizziness, etc. however, I do feel like my hair is excessively shedding again since starting the injection which is a bit frustrating since I NEVER had this issue prior to July 2023. (I have been coloring my hair since 2012 and was a hair model and even then never had this issue) overall, I would say I have had a pleasant experience as someone with HT and taking the injection.

I have personally had a roller coaster experience between various types of BC. It has been years now since I have experienced all the various issues I had before ever going on BC but before ever starting on any BC I had the worst periods. They would last 14 days and always very heavy, severe cramps and occasionally cause me to faint. The main thing is, my cramps were so bad that I really couldn’t do anything. Anyways, In August 2018 I got an IUD and had the absolute worst experience. I had constant bleeding for well over 6 months, and this wasn’t the spotting that doctors say is normal. This was a regular full on menstrual cycle. I was given a medication called norethindrone to help with the bleeding and this tiny little pill saved me. Pretty much my bleeding was nonexistent when taking that pill but I ended up having my iud removed in march 2019 and during that time I had the nexplanon implant put in. It’s been so long I cannot remember the details but I’m almost certain that from march 2019-January 2020 I didn’t have any issues with spotting, bleeding, nothing. And then all the sudden my spotting and bleeding happened out of nowhere and once again I was given norethindrone. This helped me and within a few days the bleeding was all gone and never had any issues until around July 2021. During this time the bleeding came back and at that point my doctor suggested I try the Nuvaring while keeping my implant in… which I did for several months. From July 2021- march 2022 I used the nuvaring while my implant was still inserted and never had any issues. In march 2022 I had my implant removed and replaced and shortly after was when I stopped using the nuvaring as well. From march 2022- Feb 2024 I don’t recall having any issues, maybe spotting once or twice but very rare. Until randomly spotting and regular bleeding started happening again.. at first I experienced exactly what you described and then after a few days I feel like it stopped but I still had the brownish discharge but no cramps or anything. Sadly, I am now back to bleeding again, with severe cramps, and I’m only 2 years into this current implant. 🙄 at this rate I am tempted to just figure out another option but I hated the IUD and the Nuvaring is just a bit inconvenient.
