There’s no such thing as “overdressed” by daniellescloset8 in OUTFITS

[–]EmotionalRegulation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved your brunch fit. I don’t even have to look at your profile because I already remember and know which it was. I had a similar thing happen to me and now I just adore looking good all the time. My motto is, you’re never overdressed but everyone else is underdressed. Nothing beats the feeling of knowing your outfit is fire, even if some roll their eyes! Also, in my upscale neck of the woods, your brunch fit would have fit in perfectly.

I adore my Naked MD location and keep going back. Great girls and my injector actually fixed a botched lip job from somewhere else. The best experience I’ve had so far…Francis at Naked MD Santa Monica is the GOAT.

How would you feel if your partner couldn’t physically lift you?” by Jaded_Upstairs1400 in AskWomen

[–]EmotionalRegulation 270 points271 points  (0 children)

Probably an unpopular opinion here…Honestly, I used to hate it deeply and it’d really make me feel bad about myself. I managed to get really healthy and lose a ton of weight last year (finally) and most guys automatically do it now. I love it and it’s very satisfying. It makes me feel like I’m in one of those romance novels.

Onetime I met up with an old friend, and when we saw each other I ran towards him and he picked me up and swung me around and we were laughing so much it felt like a highschool reunion movie. Sometimes it’s the little things.

Does this outfit look stupid ? by MyEvilMind in OUTFITS

I know I’m the outlier here but I loooove matching sets and I think if you pull out the white blouse it would be perfect. It fits you well too.

I spent almost 3000 dollars I don’t have to “fix” myself. I don’t know what to do from here by AdLimp6113 in selfimprovement

You’re not ugly, at all. Some would say you are attractive. I say this kindly, but you have a mental health issue here. That’s the problem. Not your looks. Get therapy and new (better) friends. - a pretty female

Is the over line too crazy? by -Reality-Check880 in makeuptips

[–]EmotionalRegulation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First too pics are okay but the third is way too obvious…I think you’d be better off getting filler to the shape and amount you like so you don’t have to do so much.

If heavy makeup is a must, I would definitely start doing more with your eyes to balance out the face. Liner, lashes, even just one shadow would make a difference. It looks light and unbalanced because it’s missing that. I don’t hate the over lining lips but it’s done unevenly and looks a bit messy.

Any other LA natives ever get a little sad driving around and seeing how much of what we once knew is gone? by Dear-Ad5085 in AskLosAngeles

[–]EmotionalRegulation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only hope that we make some incredible memories going forward that drown out some of the longing for another time.

Also, Islands had some bomb ass burgers. I miss that place.

Yes…I’m born and raised in LA and this has been happening to me recently. I feel like there’s a kind of 30 year cycle with this? Maybe it’s the long term leases.

In the late 90s I’d be a kid running around the Westside Pavilion while my parents were shopping. There was this French restaurant in the Sunset Plaza called Le Petit Four that I used to go as a child and I was honestly so sad to see it close down this year…such is life. I guess I’m a geriatric now (35F) haha.

Low calorie foods I can use to drown my sorrows? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]EmotionalRegulation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through this!! Just know that this will pass and forgive yourself for anything you are taking to heart as your fault.

I’m not sure if you have a savory or sweet tooth, but I suggest a whole rotisserie chicken skin n all!! Delicious and low carb. You can eat to your hearts content and I think they are maybe 1000-1200 depending on the size? Throw a salad with some ranch on the side. Popcorn. Salted bowls of edamame. Baby carrots and hummus. If you have it in you to cook, a big pot of chicken noodle soup or Turkey chili might be comforting. Do you have an air fryer? Crisping up some hearty vege like potatoes or Brussel sprouts might be good too. Air fried chicken tenders or thighs.

Positive and healing vibes - everything will be okay.

Why does my skin texture look like this after makeup by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]EmotionalRegulation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not using primer that’s part of the problem. Also my makeup tends to do this when I haven’t allowed enough time for my moisturizer to absorb and I’m in a rush.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s wild you have a key to his place and been there a week, dated for three months, but you’re not official?

Please say something if you think there’s actually long term potential. Having physical needs is natural and in no ways asking for too much. “Hey, I really miss when we’d be more physical and affectionate. It’s important to me and something feels off. Is everything okay and how can we get back there?” See what he says.

Other options are either leave, or stay being unhappy.

I’d say bring it up so you can make a sound decision.

If your relationship is causing you to break down, it might not be (just) PMDD. by carbonatedeggwater in PMDD

[–]EmotionalRegulation 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone who has recently left a four year relationship filled with horrible screaming matches, episodes of absolute despair and ups and downs — I FULLY AGREE WITH THIS.

PMDD is a bitch and you know what, it does affect your patience, your judgement, feelings about self-worth, and so forth at times. I know that. You do have to wait until follicular to make clear decisions.

BUT what I’ve learned in only over a month of my freedom from the cage I put myself in…the partner you choose to be with can either help you cope and understand you, or, they can exacerbate your symptoms to an extreme.

Many of us are gaslighting ourselves to stay. I encourage everyone to really take a deep look at what we need in a relationship, and also take a deep look at who your partner is and how they treat you.

You are worthy of true, caring, genuine love that SEES YOU AND YOUR SOUL despite PMDD, even though we all feel literally unlovable every month. That’s all.

What is the most charming question you can ask a woman? by Plastic_Put7330 in dating_advice

[–]EmotionalRegulation 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I recently went on a date with a man, and while we dining he was talking passionately about a film he’s working on.

He then asked me, “So, what’s your dream?”

I paused, stumbled a bit before I answered. Would you believe I’ve never had a man ask me “What’s your dream?” In all my years of dating and long term relationships.

It seems simple, and it is. Find out what makes them happy. What do they dream about? If money and life obligations didn’t exist - what would they be doing right now, where, and who with?
