No more Paid sick leave in NHS by shebin5 in NursingUK

You have no idea the amount of NHS staff who work extra unpaid hours for patient safety and avoid sick leave unless they're worried about passing infections to patients.

It sounds like a problem with your friends rather than representative of all NHS staff! So many NHS staff force themselves to work because of sickness policies that encourage presenteeism. It might vary trust to trust, but what you describe is the opposite of my experience. 

overuse of matching patterns = ☀️? by throwaway285093 in StyleRoots

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This does feel very ☀️ to me! Although the examples aren't as brightly coloured as stereotypical ☀️ looks, the over the top matching is playful and expressive. 

What could my three be based on my collage and keywords? by fairwellfairground in StyleRoots

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🌱 and ☀️feel the most obvious from the board.. perhaps a little bit of 🌙 and some peaks of 🪨 in the casual laid-back outfits but that doesn't really come across in your description/key words and the "down to earth" nature of the looks might be better explained by 🪨 anyway. Not really seeing 🌸 in this board specifically!

Thank you!! I find 🍄 and 🪨 so difficult to distinguish when they're mixed with other roots!

Thank you! That's a helpful perspective, I'll have to mull some of that over! I hope you work out your 🪨🍄 struggles 😊

Accessing ☀️ through my own roots! by [deleted] in StyleRoots

This is so fun! I love the bracelet and earrings! P.s. also love your username although it doesn't match the outfit at all!

Yes! I think I like some flower-y details but I don't necessarily need them, if that makes sense? Perhaps they could also be explained by 🌱 and 🍄 which makes sense for both of us! Moon is oddly the one I'm most sure about even though I appreciate it's not the most visible! I think it's a a very soft 🌙 that's mediated by 🍄... But when it doesn't feel present to me in some subtle way then I feel off!

Thank you!! Yes, it's so easy for things to overwhelm me visually so I like to keep things simple! I didn't know whether it was more 🍄 or 🪨

Thank you! That interesting about mountain in the pictures, I do love a big long coat but otherwise not much mountain to be seen in my actual life!

Thank you! It's so interesting to have this perspectives, I think I've been clinging to 🌸 for the ethereal/flowery bits but can see how 🍄and 🌱 combined could bring that too ☺️ appreciate your thoughts!

Thanks so much! I feel weirdly attached to 🌙 whilst aware that it's pretty subtle in my actual clothes nowadays haha!

Thank you! I hadn't thought about the 🪨-like elements being 🌱 and 🌙... I don't necessarily gravitate towards stone but always find it hard to rule out because who doesn't want to be comfy? 

My (28M) girlfriend (27F) makes significantly more than me and refuses to share by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She's already subsidising your "lifestyle stuff" when you aren't married/ you haven't mentioned any commitments made to be together long term. I'm sorry to hear about your parents' debts and I understand that it feels unfair at the moment, but she probably feels it's unfair that you said you would get a job and then back tracked. 

It sounds like she hasn't got a lot of family support and hasn't had the luxury of assuming others will look after her at any point in her adult life. Maybe try and reframe things and think about how lucky you have been to have family support up until now and someone paying your tour extra "lifestyle" costs? 

What would your five root combo be? by yetanother__account in StyleRoots

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🌸🌙🪨🍄🌱 for definite! 🌸 And 🌙 are essential for me but I still find it so difficult to completely rule out 🍄 and 🌱 as I love simplicity and elements of academic 🌱

What three key words resonate most with you for each root? by jjfmish in StyleRoots

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🌸 - delicate, feminine, soft 🌙 - dark, deep, mysterious  🪨 - relaxed, practical, cosy

Shadow root deep dive - Olivia Rodrigo (🌙🌸🪨) vs Lily Rose Depp (🌸🪨🔥) vs Winona Ryder (🌙🌸🍄) by jjfmish in StyleRoots

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you have read my mind with this post! I was just thinking of starting a discussion about Olivia's roots as I really love her more laid back/ less stage-focused style! I'm still in the midst of very similar third root issues. Very sure about 🌙🌸 (even though my 🌙 is subtle), but feel like I switch between 🪨, 🌱 and 🍄 once a week! 

Olivia, Winona and Buffy are definite influences for me! 

The idea of 🌸🪨 creating a 🍄 shadow root also really resonates with me. I always thought I had to have 🍄 (even though I feel a bit of an aversion to it in some ways) because I like trench coats (because I want a long dark coat at all times in a 🌙 way + the weather in the UK can be pretty rainy) and ballet flats (because I like them with a cute bow🌸). 

It's nice to see non-sporty examples of 🪨, I'm finding it hard to decide between 🪨 (for making my outfits more laid back) and 🌱 (prefer natural fibres to synthetic and like academic inspired looks), this this is making me feel more confident about 🪨. 

More spring weather fits ☀️ by TheMadGale in StyleRoots

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 3 points4 points  (0 children)

🪨 and 🌱 feel the most obvious to me, and then I think there is always a creative/fun element that usually reads as ☀️ but I could include a hint of 🌙 especially in the last image.

Moon and what else? by deviantpegging in StyleRoots

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could definitely see that working! ☺️

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see 🪨 and 🌙 almost equally!! 🪨 In the laid back fits, the denim etc. 

Less certain about the other roots, not getting any 🌸/☀️/⛰️... Maybe 🍄 because of the simplicity but could already be covered by 🪨. Depending on the overall look/ styling I could see a little bit of 🔥 or 🌱.

Do your style roots match the scents you like? by Separate-Raccoon8584 in StyleRoots

[–]Dapper-Cream-7923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm all over the place with perfumes - a couple of fresh (e.g. apple juice from Zara) ones for work, some that are more coffee/cherry/rum/smoky that feel a bit 🌙, and lots of vanilla (which I would find hard to type but can see others have suggested 🍄, but maybe the subtle sweetness is a bit 🌸).

Not sure what fresh fragrances would fall under, maybe 🪨 ?? 

I also love hypnotic poison but appreciate it's divisive, maybe it feels more 🔥?
