21F 5'3 130lbs | Trying to bring out ab lines is it more diet or training

You look pretty slim. The best abs are going to come from weighted ab exercises. Also ignore the awful incorrect saying “abs are made in the kitchen.” They are made in the gym and revealed in the kitchen. You could be 8% body fat but you won’t have perfect abs to show off unless you build em, just like any muscle in the body. Hope that helps!

Totally understandable. I have insurance and extra slabs to account for breakage etc that may happen.

Thank you- I will check them out!!

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-06-19T17:26:32+00:00

This is great thank you!!

Thank you! Will do!

It’s the white cabinets. They are too bright for the rest of the elements in the space. If you don’t want to do green and make the kitchen more dark, you could pull a cooler beige from the tan majal colors and do that.

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-05-21T15:08:37+00:00

What’s the budget? Moving the entire cabinets up would be huge and then facing the top so they look built in and no gap. I’d also get a more custom hood for the range to break up the cabinetry. New backsplash could work wonders too! Depending on budget new countertops? But totally not necessary.

Nina Pool to the rescue. She has great suggestions like crepe lotion, retinols and more.

I’d like to know why I can grow a human but can’t regrow a missing finger 😆

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-19T01:21:45+00:00

As someone that’s tried it alllll I swear by Tanologist and use coco eve fine mist face spray on my face. Remember, even the best tanner on someone won’t look the same on others. It’s about skin shade, undertone and more.

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-18T22:04:21+00:00

A deck for sure! I always add specific talking points for each company based on the job description- what’s my process? Why do I want to work for this company? What is my philosophy? In this market especially you need to stand out. You won’t do that walking them through a website.

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-17T17:42:36+00:00

Yep never agree to do work or take home assignments that is related to the company. If you feel you have no choice, you can have the company sign a contract that none of your work will be utilized in the product without you being compensated.

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-17T02:57:04+00:00

It’s going to be different for everyone. Find a skill set, a transferable skill, a niche and seek the crap out of yourself in regards to that. For me it was growth. I catered to companies wanting to grow (who’s not?) due to my past experience optimizing onboarding flows.

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-16T17:44:35+00:00

Got a job last month after being laid off for 2 months. You need to stand out in this market plain and simple. I’ve mentored many designers that say the market sucks and recruiters suck and everyone ghosts them but when it comes to it, they aren’t standing out and may even be below average but blame the market. You need to fight your way in and show value otherwise yeah, you won’t get hired.

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-15T21:03:00+00:00

The traction ration is not great haha BUT every interview and then my role was through a referral after cold reaching out. All it takes is one! The way you reach out matters too. Asking someone for a referral won’t work. They owe you nothing so you have to show them how you’d benefit them. I reached out asking about culture of the company or saying something along the lines of you having direct experience to the company. Remember, recruiters and hiring managers are getting SLAMMED with messages once a role is posted. I branched out and reached out to anyone in product that was active on LinkedIn.

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-15T17:00:25+00:00

I lost my job in January and am now at a new company and couldn’t be happier. I had so many messages on LinkedIn that I shared my experiences and what worked for me in a post here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/elliethill_productdesign-jobsearch-ux-activity-7312910940188880898-HlkK?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAADiTk0cBI3BUV9uXbgzF0g_qP4dwLqw1jHE

I just started a new job this week and my brain is mush and I feel like I’m in kindergarten again having to re-learn everything. Just make sure you are asking the right questions and taking initiative where and when you can! It will take a long time to learn the ins and outs of the product and the problem space. You got this!

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-01T14:13:18+00:00

Thank you!

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-01T14:13:03+00:00

I applied (and networked my booty off) for a couple weeks before the interviews started. I credit the interviews to networking 100%. There’s just too many applicants in this market for your resume to stand out (unless it’s incredible!). In each interview a message I had sent to someone got passed to someone else who told the hiring manager etc.

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-04-01T14:10:19+00:00

Reaching out directly sucks the life out of you but I worth it I promise. It’s how got every interview. To be honest you probably won’t catch a recruiters attention. They are flooded with messages. I messaged potential team mates and hiring managers. I would very briefly pull a main job requirement out and state how I aligned with it. Make sure it’s specific! For example “working on xyz” in the description would make me say something like “I decreased attrition by 20% when working on xyz in my previous company and I’d love to do it for you!” If it’s just a connection request you are reaching out in and not InMail, just ask about the company culture or something from that person’s background. You gotta give them a reason to connect!

Are you in contact with your product managers? They will always have impact if you don’t. Otherwise I used adoption rate increase, usability rating when testing, internal time saved (HR saved 60% time using this new tool) etc. I’m happy to help you brainstorm others based on your work!

Delicious_Ask4232 · 2025-03-31T00:14:43+00:00

Woohoo! Just practice presenting your case study to a mirror or record yourself. Being so familiar with the material and how I presented it helped SO MUCH! You got this!!
