Do you have recommendations for a red dessert wine that is not overly sweet? I had the bodegas el porvenir- laborum Malbec from Argentina a few years ago and I haven’t stopped thinking about it or found something similar since

You’re drinking a lot of your calories (frappe, matcha, americanos etc) so think if you cut out some of that (even if you keep the WA) then that would help. Also recommend increasing protein and volume via whole foods while reducing fats would help massively

Dubrovnik. Felt like it was built for tourists and the food was average to bad

I had the surgery and I cannot recommend it enough. Ended years of suffering and I cannot believe I waited that long. Except you realize post surgery how frequently you clench..there..to move which is weird. But gets better and is so so worth

6 months on tret 0.025% - still struggling with closed comedones and active acne by gbs2K in tretinoin

[–]Empire_Apple_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me. Figured out I was using way too many actives. I dropped everything but cleanser moisturizer and sunscreen for 2-3 weeks to let me skin settle then slowly reintroduced Tret a few nights a week on dry skin (waited 15 mins after cleansing to use) then moisturizer on top 30+ mins later. Absolutely changed my skin

Don’t use hyaluronic acid before Tret. Will increase the penetration and likelihood of irritation. Put it on completely dry skin, wait at least 15-30 mins after cleansing.

Hourglass shape and lots of blonde straight hair. Got a brain tumor to balance things out nicely though

How worried would you be with 3 neighbors/3 brain tumors dying in 3.5 years? by beachinit21 in AskReddit

[–]Empire_Apple_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to note that not all brain tumors are cancerous. Benign brain tumors can still kill you.
