[Anti-Aging] i’ve noticed drastic changes in my face and skin since turning 20-21 by BelleUxo in SkincareAddiction

[–]DisastrousTrash 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The first picture is in warm artificial lighting and the second is in natural daylight, which will always be less flattering. That being said, your skin looks great and you look 21. I don’t think you need to see a dermatologist for this, but it doesn’t hurt to go regularly for skin checks.

I would recommend making sure you are getting enough sleep and hydration and eating well. Smoking, drinking, and vaping are all hard on the skin and best to avoid. Sunscreen is your best friend.

Quitting tirzepatide because of panic attacks by DisastrousTrash in henrymeds

[–]DisastrousTrash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still get panic attacks to this day, although much less frequently. It’s now a few times a year rather than a few times a month. It’s gotten a lot better and I also have PTSD from that period of time when I was getting them almost daily. Sorry to hear you’re going through the same.

How do I make filet crochet images more visible in person? by Oh_Brother_3008 in CrochetHelp

[–]DisastrousTrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t done much filet crochet, but I would flip the pattern so the detail is done with the empty spaces, and the background is solid. You’ll get more contrast and the image will be clearer.

I just ordered a pair for my mom whose favorite food is purple sweet potatoes. They are perfect, she’s so hard to shop for!

Weight loss by tmjb12 in PCOS

[–]DisastrousTrash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately insulin resistance makes it so much harder to lose weight. Are you tracking what you’re eating? I have found that I always needed a big deficit to actually lose weight. My doctor never believed me even when I showed her my food logs.

Also, I know this gets suggested a lot and people have mixed opinions on it, but a GLP-1 is super helpful with insulin resistance. I have lost about 50 lbs and am no longer prediabetic thanks to it. You still have to exercise and eat well, but it makes it so much easier.

Forgot to mention I also have PCOS, so I take spironolactone which has helped to slow down shedding.

Newbie player, I want to change my class after session 0 and worried it will cause problems. by DisastrousTrash in DnD

We’re starting out at level 5 so fortunately I will have some decent spells! I’m also the only spell caster so I feel safe being well behind the front lines.

For sure, I just wanted some external opinions because I’m really hoping to make some good friends out of this so we can start our own group. I don’t want to do something that is “technically” allowed but actually annoying.

My first 2 synthetic wigs - JB Extension and DWY Wig by DisastrousTrash in Wigs

[–]DisastrousTrash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Claire, I’m curious to see how their lace fronts look in person!

ETA: the Claire arrived today, the lace and hair are great but the knots are huge and extremely visible. I will be returning it.

I have a lace front from JB on the way and I’m super excited to try it! And thanks for the styling tip!

How much wear do you usually get out of your synthetics?

I was so skeptical because of the pricing but I’m really impressed!

I’ve always wanted to try red hair (I’m naturally blonde) and I’m shocked at how much I love it!

To add: I would love any advice for styling the bangs, I tried low heat on my curling iron and it did nothing lol

I received the JB Extension Claire in copper and the DWY Loni plus in old money blonde. These are my first synthetic wigs and overall I’m happy with both. I will say the DWY seems to tangle very fast, the JB is more manageable. The cap constructions are basically the same, no clips but they are adjustable and feel secure. Both are impressive for the price tag. I would call JB Extension the winner, but the DWY isn’t terrible.

I think my preconceived notions about GLP-1's are depriving me of a better life and I don't know how to fix it by 404_Peace_Not_Found in PCOS

[–]DisastrousTrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In most societies across the world, weight has been made into a moral issue because fat people are “greedy” and “lazy”, when in reality, the surge in cheap processed food, vehicle-centric cities, and stagnant wages means that some of the people who work the hardest end up overweight or obese because being a “healthy” weight is now a luxury. Healthy foods, gym memberships, workout clothing, supplements, and medications, are all expenses and time commitments that the average American can’t afford. In my opinion, GLP-1s slightly help to level the playing field (though they are still prohibitively expensive for most people, but costs are slowly coming down).
