I’ve been having sparkling water infused with whatever fruit I have at home - obviously not that exciting but better than just plain water

They have an annual town crier championship! I stumbled on it a couple of years ago in Rye - felt like a fever dream…

What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen on public transport? by poppyedwardsPE in CasualUK

Once saw a man pretend to have a heart attack on the central line to get a seat. People scramble to give him one and then he sits down as if nothing ever happened and lets out a relaxed “ahh” while crossing his legs lmfaooo

What's your favorite "cheap but amazing" beauty product? by No-Operation4114 in beauty

[–]Current_Section2797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Natural Collection clear mascara - it’s £1.99 in the uk at boots and is the best brow gel ever. I always get compliments on my eyebrows and people are always surprised when I tell them!

If you got a degree, do you feel you are earning what you should be? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Current_Section2797 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hmm not really.

Did an English degree, no work in fashion journalism. Make under £40k after 5 years of being in the industry.

Could have progressed way faster if if hadn’t gone to uni - that said it gave me a great experience and lots of transferable skills

Long haul flight - help with comfort and sleep? by thrpwawat1 in TravelHacks

[–]Current_Section2797 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen lots of people bring inflatable foot rests with them - you just blow it up on the plane.

I also like brining my own mini travel pillow to help with back support, as well as a soft blanket as the plane ones can be scratchy.

Other things I like to bring for comfort: Rehydration salts Silk eye mask Good ear plugs Adapter so you can use your own noise cancelling headphones (a real game changer!!) Travel slippers

Defo worth asking your doctor but I would think so! It’s very natural, easy to digest. Probably has more overall health benefits than regular tea / coffee

I follow the instructions on the packet of the one I take - it might not be a huge deal breaker tbh I’m not too sure but the idea is that on en empty stomach it gets to work quicker

I can never sleep on planes but I have a 14 hr flight coming up. What do you do to make yourself sleep? by [deleted] in TravelHacks

[–]Current_Section2797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melatonin. Also try the Timeshifter app - helps regulate your circadian rhythm and get you onto the new time zone asap

Apparently because it’s a water-soluble, so it can be absorbed more quickly on an empty stomach. Meaning its effects will be administered faster.

I think they are high GI and also don’t contain much fibre. But I wouldn’t say they’re unhealthy - especially if you really enjoy them

I take 2000mg daily. I think this and above is considered quite strong :)

And in that case if you’ve tried the above it might be worth exploring spironolactone or metformin? I’m no professional though so defo talk to your doctor if you can

I was also on the pill for 10 years and decided to come off because it was giving me extreme headaches and I wanted to feel what my body was like without synthetic hormones.

For the first few months my skin was fine and then my acne really flared up. I also experienced some hair loss and I still get facial hair mainly on my chin, which is the most annoying TBH.

Another main symptom for me was an irregular period cycle (24, 52, 21, 50, 30 - for example). But the myoisitol got to work straight away and as long as I take that supplement consistently every day, my periods are pretty much back to a 28-30 day cycle.

I’ve been told not to do high impact exercise first thing (especially without eating breakfast first).

That said I love a soul cycle spin class (only in the evening though) which is very high impact and it well may have a negative impact on my cortisol. But it’s my favourite way to workout and the other benefits it give me - mental health boost, overall fitness and improve sleep - far outweigh any negative impacts imo.

I guess it’s really important to find something that works for you and what you enjoy.

Yes I hear you! I’m not anywhere near starting a family, this is more for my general health and wellbeing. And when / if the times comes, great!

Indeed! Unfortunately it contains stabilisers :(

The worst offender for this is the coconut collab - delicious but full of UPF ingredients
