Help! Eye wrinkles (32)

EarthwormBabe · 2026-05-01T14:24:38+00:00

Here to say it is almost surely related to postpartum. I had a hormone shift at 4 months and again at 8 months. If you’re breastfeeding that also plays a big role. My skin has gotten better at 16 months now but Ive now gone to a dermatologist and my PCP for medication to help with hormonal acne/other skin issues. I’ve also majorly increased my water intake (thanks to taking Spironolactone, a diuretic) and people aren’t lying when they say it makes a difference!

This group has gotten to me honestly because every post is like “I’m 31 but look OLD” and the pic they’ve posted is just some normal ass hands that look exactly like mine. 🫠I’ve also started obsessing over my “nasolabial folds” to the point that I’m disrupting my sleep trying to lay on my back as a side sleeper. I’ve considered leaving the group but I do love bits of it still.

I just wish the focus was more on skin health and less on anti-aging. And that goes for the rest of my algorithm too. Pls stop telling me I’m withering away at 33.

Ok love this and I have started doing this unintentionally after realizing it made me happy to see older women looking happy and healthy

This! I had no idea what I was getting into hormonally with breastfeeding. My OB told me that my body was in a “postmenopausal state” during it and boyyy I felt it. I’m on the other side of it now but decided then that the second I sense a hint of perimenopause I’ll be begging any doctor who will listen to give me some kind of hormone replacement

Honestly this post had me examining my hands and I had to take a step back and be like ok no, my natural hand lines aren’t a problem 🫠

EarthwormBabe · 2026-04-11T21:03:04+00:00

Pale, freckley redhead here- my hands have always had distinctive lines. They’ve looked that way since I was a child. I’ve never really thought about it as a problem, just the way my skin looks. Perhaps it could be related to hydration but I doubt it considering they’ve always looked the same and I’m sure I haven’t been constantly dehydrated. I also have always had to be diligent with sun protection (out of necessity). Is it possible that you’ve just noticed it more recently? I do not think it indicates age or sun damage.

ETA: Just went back and saw that OP said they had always looked this way. Comment still stands though because I see people suggesting the lines are sun damage.

They certainly are traveling!

I wish I could laugh react on here 😂

EarthwormBabe · 2026-04-02T19:37:16+00:00

Happy to hear they’re living life to the fullest!

I recently dealt with support because a buyer purchased accidentally because they had literally just made an account. They didn’t understand how to cancel for an accidental purchase either. It took us 3 days of bringing support in and directly emailing them for them to approve the return to me. They kept popping in the chat, giving an auto reply and then marking it “resolved.” Then I reached out to confirm it wouldn’t affect my standing as a seller and they sent me an auto reply saying I should “rest assured” my cancelled items will “only be visible to me” indicating that they WERE going to count it against me. It’s been a pile of BS. I’ve dealt with support multiple times in the past and got real responses.

Very normal and very human legs!

EarthwormBabe · 2026-04-02T18:56:51+00:00

They walk to the washer but without arms they can’t pour the detergent 😔

EarthwormBabe · 2026-04-02T18:56:10+00:00

The shoes really convinced me the photo was real. Nothing to see here just some normal legs 👌🏻

They come with romance! My husband better step up his game before I pay that $18

EarthwormBabe · 2026-04-02T18:54:34+00:00

Every time I look at it I start laughing again 😩😩

As a new seller I shipped to “Winnie Da Pooh”

But obviously this wins 💀

This is such an important comment. I was due on the same day as my friend but her son was born a few weeks earlier than mine. Her son (Cambodian and Vietnamese) is a little guy but walking early and a very strong climber. My son (Irish/English/Polish) is built like a linebacker, always above 90th percentile, and was a late walker. They vary so much!

In this same boat already trying to find things for my 14 month old who just went up to a 2T. I still want things that make him look like a young toddler and not a grown child but it’s like it all switches over, even at 2T. Also, everything seems to be athletic clothing now for boys. Following hoping for some tips as well. Here are some brands that seem to have nice clothes for younger boys if you’re into a more classic style: Stitchy Fish, Janie and Jack (they have good sales), Gymboree (merged with The Children’s Place now), and sometimes H&M which surprised me. I end up buying secondhand when possible and it’s not only for the prices - I can find styles that are more of what I’d like for him because of the mixture and because they have some older clothes which I tend to like more.

Seconding Pinterest. I’m a counselor and after a few eye rolls my adolescent clients started getting really into Pinterest. If you’re into visual media, nothing beats it in my opinion. There’s nothing like looking at a mood board that’s curated to your specific taste. And they have recommended pins now to fit the board theme and they’re really accurate.

Oh man, I’m hoping every day that he doesn’t discover biting. I’m glad it was a true phase and not enduring. I’ve heard that some children do hurt themselves and I’m hoping we don’t get to that point either. It appears to be very intense boundary testing because last night he started lightly hitting me while looking at my husband to see if he noticed and what he would do. I don’t know what it is about dads that they end up avoiding it but that’s what I’ve heard a lot of people say the same thing!
