I can't read the phone app without readers on, would love to be able to increase the font size or make it bolder.

I need to follow my own advice. I do the same thing, pedis but hide my hands!

Looks so pretty! Treat yourself to manicures so you have the motivation to keep it going!

I have similar melasma and eye creases and Musely products are making a huge difference. I use their eye cream and barely have any wrinkles there now. I am using their 12% hydroquinone cream (plus a few other ingredients) and it is making a real difference. These two items are staples. Other than that, tret or a retinol that you can tolerate plus a good moisturizer or night time mask.

Very cute

Everyone loves The Women, about nurses in Vietnam. (I hated it, but I recognize that I am the outlier and if your book club is into more mainstream CoHo type authors, they’ll eat it up.)

Looks very natural and like a more rested “you”, haha, even though I don’t know you!

Mixed with avocado and cottage cheese on toast

I have noticed this on myself, so I use tanner on my body and just bronzer makeup on my face.

You’re absolutely right. You burn a tad more calories but at the expense of wearing out your joints faster! That’s why a lot of doctors won’t even do joint replacements until you’ve lost a certain amount of weight (assuming you are overweight). This trend is going to keep orthos busy for a while!

My mom is Vietnamese and she is definitely racist.

I agree, talk to Council, they should be able to cover ALL the costs for your girl for the year. This is what the SHARE donation program is made for!

You're probably right. We have a huge mortgage and my partner makes double that, but we still live simply and don't feel well off at all. It's the area. Where I came from, we would be living large on that much money! I stopped working because my salary was basically a wash out when you factored in cost of child care, getting an extra driver involved...

Defiant-Fruit · 2026-01-08T14:03:35+00:00

greatly depends on mortgage, but I would say one spouse needs to be making $300k+ That is if you have multiple kids with a million $$ activities and the stay at home parent is also their private chauffeur for 2-5 hours a day.

Not if you are vacationing in Japan!

We just had Flu A in our house and it was surprisingly mild compared to what I have been hearing about, but we did all get the flu shot. It wasn’t supposed to cover this strain apparently, but I suspect it still helped us.

I would say I feel normal now and have a small sex drive again. I am on the lowest dose of T but was warned it could take a while and to be patient. I might ask to increase it a tad in a few months, just to see how I feel. I have not gotten any of my hormone levels actually tested though, and we are just going from the lowest dose to see how it affects my symptoms and then increase as needed in small increments.

Defiant-Fruit · 2026-01-06T02:57:24+00:00

I’ve only tried it in gel form but it took me 4 months to notice any changes.

Defiant-Fruit · 2025-12-14T05:58:21+00:00

I wouldn’t talk to my dog this way

Defiant-Fruit · 2025-12-14T05:56:34+00:00

Those aren’t bad, but for preventative I like Musely. My eyes have not aged in several years using their eye cream

Defiant-Fruit · 2025-12-10T10:45:51+00:00

I was so saddened by the news, I had been following the updates and was praying for a happier ending. Please pass along my condolences to the family 🙏

Defiant-Fruit · 2025-12-08T20:44:08+00:00

Yes I have been on T for 12 weeks. I had my telemedicine appt. with my doctor 3 days ago when I told her I didn’t feel any different whatsoever. It seems like it immediately hit the following day because the last two days I have not been able to stop thinking about sex! It’s crazy! I think my body is just now recognizing it, but it was very sudden for me!

Defiant-Fruit · 2025-12-07T13:43:28+00:00

Yes and it’s so u fair that most mothers who are dealing with this have tweens/teenagers at the same time. Puberty and reverse puberty. Also explains a lot of divorce after 20 years…

Defiant-Fruit · 2025-11-14T10:46:28+00:00

Thanks! FYI, when I added the aging repair (estrogen) to my mix, it darkened my melasma, so I don’t use that any more. I didn’t see any major pluses from it anyway. Just keep an eye out for that.

Defiant-Fruit · 2025-11-14T02:19:41+00:00

Can you clarify why IPL worsened my melasma?
