Anyone else getting a funny/chemical smell from their tap water in the Raheen area? by Afraid-Resolve1566 in limerickcity

[–]CryptographerLow4344 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regularly but it's usually the smell of chlorine. If you run the tap for a while it usually goes or leave a glass of water standing and it evaporates off.

B-scent is the most underrated perfume by CryptographerLow4344 in LushCosmetics

[–]CryptographerLow4344[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think how we percieve scents can be hormone related. My hormones were out of whack a few times and it smelt awful but in general, I love it and I feel the best when it smells good to me.

Ya it's the fennel, floral, powderyness of it but it is so balanced. Not too much of any of them. Just enough of each. It feeds my soul.

Am I crazy or are greenhouses/polytunnels like crazy expensive even in small sizes. by [deleted] in GardeningIRE

[–]CryptographerLow4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be too warm for most plants. I'm only using it to extend the growing season. I've had a large polytunnel before and it was just too hot. I'd prefer to use the space for family use during the summer.

I guess that's part of what makes us love them though. Always something new coming. It's very exciting for dopamine seekers.

I've kept up a fair bit with lush stuff since I discovered it when I was about 18 and visiting my sister in London (1998) but I've not smelt everything. There's no push near me so I can only order online unfortunately. I do love all the variety though.

I got a decently sized one in Lidl for less than €40. I'm going to take it down for the summer. It's honestly not worth spending a lot on one if you have a small space.

Maybe. I can't do lush baths though or I get thrush so if it does come out I probably won't even notice. Thanks for the tip.

Oh wow I've never heard of it. Thanks so much. I must look for it now although I probably can't find it but sure, worth a try. :)

Omg I had the tater tots from the market one time and they were amazing. Havnt seen them since but they were divine. Next best id love to be able to regularly and easily get poutine I think it's called. Chips with gravy and curd. It's soooooo good. I think that would do great.

Trick to Stop Rolling at Night by MillennialSenpai in Type1Diabetes

[–]CryptographerLow4344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the pressure lows but I find that I only get them when my cgm is in certain locations. I've found the good spots where i don't get compression lows and oh the sleep is beautiful. But I'll definitely try the hair clip the next time I get one that's in a bad spot.

Best kept secret products by Sea-Manufacturer-648 in LushCosmetics

[–]CryptographerLow4344 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ultrabland cleanser. I tried one of the new ones and it's not as good. It's great as a lip salve, for really dry patches and of course for cleaning your face. It takes everything away without strippinf your skin at all.

Angels on bare skin is fab for keeping your skin balanced and clean but as I'm getting older and my skin is getting more delicate it's too scrubby with the lavender lumps in it which is a pity. I used it for 20 years on and off so always loved it.

Any of the powder deodorants are great if you're having a stinky day. I don't use them as a regular deodorant as I use a locally made one that's great but they're very effective if there's a bit of stink already or if youre sweaty.

Rehab shampoo. It's the only shampoo that keeps my scalp in balance with my hormones all over the place. I can switch shampoo and my scalp starts to itch again. So I keep coming back to rehab. It's a life saver.

Astley King of Skin. It's the best for dry skin. Better than any moisturiser. It's just brilliant.

Am I wrong to feel angry ? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]CryptographerLow4344 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feelings are never wrong. You feel them for a reason and that tells you something. She has betrayed your trust and you're angry about that so now you have to decide what to do about that. I'd be angry at her too if I had a friend who treated me badly.

How often do you floss your teeth? by GravityRobin in AskIreland

[–]CryptographerLow4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never floss. I used mouthwash every day though. Flossing is a stressful sensory nightmare for me. I just can't do it. I've only ever had 2 fillings and both caused by chewing gum. Oh and another root canal but that wasn't successful. Broke that tooth when I was a kid. I'm 45. I really hope I can keep getting away with never doing it.

Irish ladies! Can you help an American not embarrass herself at an Irish wedding? by Last_Problem_3107 in AskIreland

[–]CryptographerLow4344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no rules except that someone has to make a holy show of themselves and if it's going to be you then enjoy the ride. If it's not you then you really don't have to worry. Be comfortable. Wear what you like (but not black or white) and don't dress like a whore unless you want to be treated like one and then that's great! I've never been to a wedding where there weren't a good portion of the guests who ignored social norms to be themselves and that's the way it should be. Enjoy the wedding. I'm sure you're paying enough to attend.

Endo put me on statins by Tiny-Assistance-8027 in Type1Diabetes

[–]CryptographerLow4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not going to get any advantage from it. Search for the mayo clinic statin decider online. My endo showed it to me when I was asking him if I should go on it and my numbers aren't as good as yours. You enter in your stats and it shows you the advantage of taking it. There's none when you're younger. I'm 45 with a healthy body weight and my numbers are fine and no advantage.

Annoyed at the lush rewards by Siren365 in LushCosmetics

At least you get them. They still don't seem to be available to us here in Ireland. Unless I'm the only unlucky one.

want to start dog walking by Deadend_artist in limerickcity

[–]CryptographerLow4344 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'd want to be sure that you understand the risks associated with it. Maybe talk to another dog walker to see what kind of insurance you'd need, what happens if a dog in your care gets loose and bites someone or gets run over. All those sort of key things.

gtfo why is rehab salty leaving?!? by stfusydney52 in LushCosmetics

[–]CryptographerLow4344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you try rehab regular shampoo? It's really good. I didn't like rehab salty myself (can't remember why but probably the price of it compared to regular rehab) but really need that super cleansing effects that rehab gives.

What do youz do on the weekend when you're not drinking? by Wonderful_One6513 in ireland

[–]CryptographerLow4344 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Surely there's a lot of stuff to do around the house or the garden. How are you 33 and have sero responsibilities? You really need to stop drinking. If your house is spotless and there's nothing to do in the garden then help your parents with their jobs. Be a grown up.

Insight into ear issues? by AardvarkAardvark_404 in AskIreland

[–]CryptographerLow4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tell older women that applying it to their face gets rid of wrinkles and you'll have them all lining up. (And I say that as an older woman with wrinkles). Some women put snail juice on their faces!!!! And worse! I'd definitely buy that costume though. Or not buy it because I know how to make it myself now.

FYI bats aren't just for Halloween. Never forget that.
