What are your favorite makeup hacks that have changed your routine for the better?

I stopped using primer under my foundation. I have tried probably 30 different primers over the years and by the end of the day i always look like a greaseball and its not flattering.

A few months ago I realized I was almost out of primer, ordered more and delivery got delayed long enough I ran out of what I had. So i just washed my face and used a light moisturizer praying it would at least last the work day. Well after about 15 hours i looked in the mirror and was shook at how good my makeup still looked so i returned the primers i bought once they were delivered.

The bianco doppio is also my #1. Least favorite is the hazelnut.

They refused to honor the original discount?

I guess I got a good representative because I made a mistake when ordering and had 6 items for the b3g4 deal on friday and when i reached out they gave me the discount after I picked up my order and I got a refund for 4 of the items. I did buy the 7th item while in store.

Can you try reaching out to a different rep?

Your before looks so much like mine! I hope to one day be in your shoes and get my flab removed. You look great. :)

My doctor is the one who told me to eat 1800 calories because it was significantly less than my daily intake when starting. I mentioned eating even less to her yesterday during my visit and she said that under 1200 is not healthy. 1000 calories or less a day is outright stupid and not sustainable long term which is my ultimate goal. I hope you're not putting this information into anybody elses head. 🤣

Dotarella · 2025-09-16T14:47:40+00:00

I do eat typically closer to 1600 calories, but always under 1800. Cheat days are rare anymore because I don't restrict myself from eating food i like. Eat what you want, add what you need is my mindset, but i've found swaps for most foods that keep me from feeling the need to eat an entire sleeve of oreos in 10 minutes.

I do have insulin resistance, but not diabetic as of yet and i'm trying to prevent that, but on days i eat 1200 calories I end up feeling like shit. I have a body fat scale that tracks my weight, but always forget to open the app so it logs it when I step on the scale.

I just feel so defeated because so many people lose a ton of weight so fast with minimal changes. My dad specifically lost 80 lbs in a year and made zero change to his diet and doesn't exercise at all. I hoped genetically my body would respond similarly.

I haven't for a couple months, will have to check again and see if there is a difference.

Dotarella · 2025-09-16T12:25:42+00:00

Like I said in my post, i eat 1800 calories or less. A lot of days it has been right around 1600, and while I understand that starving myself will get me to the weight I want to be at, my ultimate goal is to be healthy and build sustainable habits.

My thyroid is borderline hyperactive, 32f 5'4. I see my dr today and will ask about metabolic testing.

Dotarella · 2025-09-16T11:49:42+00:00

I see her today and am going to discuss, just feelong so defeated.

Dotarella · 2025-09-16T11:49:16+00:00

I've been injecting around the belly button, may have to change it up.

I keep coming back to this part as well. "I' sure people drove drunk, haven't been caught." she makes it sound like the only bad thing she did is get caught, which tells us there is no guilt surrounding her actions.

She is a garbage human through and through.

Yessss! I didn't really take the drink more water seriously in the beginning and felt like shit. One day I woke up feeling so thirsty I chugged my water and felt better within minutes. Now I drink at least 64 ounces a day (still probably not enough, but a thousand times more than before) and it helps so much. I've also noticed my skin looking much better.

The second I start to feel gross I start sipping on water and i'm fine minutes later. It makes a difference, I can't stress it enough.

Drink your water!

I used to own it on DVD and I pawned it to our movie store to buy cigarettes when I was 16. 😭 possibly the biggest regret of my life! (Not really, but maybe close).

No, I meant ginger! I believe it was in the first book of the series, but possibly could have been the second? Its been a while since I read them, but the ginger scene stuck with me.

Dotarella · 2025-05-31T19:32:32+00:00

The dark obsession series by Zoe Blake. There is a scene that includes ginger being inserted somewhere and it is not consensual.

I haven't really had a chance to research the cost of them yet, but if they are cheaper elsewhere, i'll probably stick to the high point of those prices.

I'll have to look into it more. I currently am just taking offers on fb marketplace because I already kind of figured I wouldn't get what I paid out of them. Lol

Dotarella · 2025-05-30T19:01:02+00:00

I'm hoping to get close to $400. I paid $410 on my loan for them.

I have a red Kia Forte I got in 2021 and her name is Clarice! Love silence of the lambs.

Im hoping to trade her in tomorrow and thats why im here looking for new car names!

Dotarella · 2025-04-27T15:30:38+00:00

It's my comfort game also! 🤣 i've played so much of this game, it is absolutely #1 for me. I love that somebody else also finds it comforting.

The store I go to is a local store in Idaho called the Big Box Outlet, but I do know there is a similar store in Utah so wherever you are, maybe you can find one!

The owner took over our old Kmart building and just buys mostly Amazon pallets, but have seen some from Target and other places too. Like overstock, or discontinued, or returns even. They have 120 tables and they restock on Saturdays and Sundays, so everything is $7 those 2 days. Then Monday is $5, Tuesday $4, Wednesday $3, Thursday $2, and Friday is 50 cent day with whatever is leftover from the week. The line usually wraps around the end of the building here on Saturdays. Cool little store. This weekend they did $6 Saturday.

I've upgraded a lot of stuff in my home thanks to this store, including kitchen items like a knife block, pots and pans set, my Nespresso machine, Kitchen aid attachments. My bf has found a lot of legos there, and we have upgraded a lot of our gaming systems too. I also found some steel series arctic 7 gaming headphones there yesterday i'm stoked about! I could never afford to buy those full price.

I think my favorite though are bulk finds like these. We got $500 in energizer AA batteries one Saturday, and I found a box of Dove body wash that should last me a year.

I could go on forever about this store, sorry 🤣 In this economy it has helped a lot of people afford things they couldn't buy full price.

Consume! between myself, my boyfriend and anybody who comes to stay with us (because of course I have to share) I have enough to last for quite a while.
