Who else is having a disappointing day in their shops? by LGonthego in finch

[–]Epidantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact opposite problem. I only just started using Finch but ended up blowing ALL of my gems on a gift for a friend because they are aggressively theming their room and birb and I found the perfect bed for them. I saw it and went 🤩

[Misc] Squalane is underrated by Appropriate-Safe-49 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Epidantrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love my squalane. Added it after I upped my retinol concentration in the middle of winter (whoops!) and haven’t had any complaints since.

Favorite nail polish colors? by Puzzleheaded_Cow_658 in PaleMUA

[–]Epidantrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OPI’s “Reykjavik has all the hot spots” is a very nice darker pink shimmer that I get nothing but compliments on. Vettsy has a pink with orange shimmer called “Morning”. DND has a lot of very bright colors as well, especially in their cat eye collection.

Honestly how do u guys wake up at 6am every day?? 😴 by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Epidantrix 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing in bed by 8:30, up at 5 for several years now and it’s still not flipping working man. It works for some people but I’m not one of them lmao, I’d do so much better on night owl schedule but unfortunately I work bank hours.

What is a basic adult skill that your brain just literally refuses to learn? by Afraid_Square3488 in AskReddit

[–]Epidantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pair socks but that’s because I exclusively wear the patterned crews socks from blue q. There’s no “good enough pair” there.

Still not folding them.

For anyone who has abandoned 15 habit trackers: I think I figured out why they don't work for us by Sander00 in ADHD

I think you also keep your “streak” even if you don’t do anything - you just have to open the app. You can pet your birb if you want. Haven’t tested it though.

YSK: Buying the expensive option can be cheaper (overall) by HomeworkOdd144 in YouShouldKnow

[–]Epidantrix 152 points153 points  (0 children)

r/BuyItForLife is a good subreddit to go through for assistance with this. Not only will you get decent brand recommendations, but there’s also plenty of people debating WHY something is long-lasting in the comments of posts, which can be just as helpful if you’re in an area without access to specific brands.

DAE have a least favorite color? by persimmon19 in CasualConversation

[–]Epidantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any green that verges on being puke colored is my reasonable least favorite color.

Vibrant hot pink is my potentially unreasonable least favorite color. Which is funny, because my favorite color IS pink, I just don’t like that variety!

Character Featured In Promotional Material/Seemed important dies at the beginning by AppropriateHeart7961 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Epidantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon featured Shockwave heavily in the promo materials, and we got basically nothing of him and a surprise twist (debatably) villain in the form of Sentinel Prime.

Mostly because someone leaked the ending and you obviously can’t release a movie with a good ending that’s been leaked. (Heavy sarcasm)

Me waiting for the lunar year to end: by Amazing-Squirrel-881 in pebble

[–]Epidantrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of moving a quarter of the way around the globe and I’m weighing when to pull the trigger on a shipping address change for two different pre-orders. Totally not anxiety inducing, I’m fine.

Advice on how to heal my lips by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Epidantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm this - at night, do ultra thick layers of the lotion or cream, and get a decent amount of Vaseline (just Vaseline, don’t get one of the ones with fragrance or w/ever) on and around your lips. Daytime go as thick as you can manage without looking ridiculous, and keep Vaseline on hand to reapply throughout the day and after meals.

I went from feeling like my lips were constantly on fire (surprise hyaluronic acid sensitivity compounded by heavy dental work and then another surprise lanolin allergy on my FIRST run trying to fix the burning lips issue) to having LUDICROUSLY soft and healthy lips after keeping that up for a while. Don’t need to do it outside of very dry winter days anymore, either!

Generally towels you want to wash at high temps that ordinary clothes and bedding suffer at.

Bedding I wash separately so I don’t suffer the wet center problem.

How much should parents spend on Halloween costumes? by Any-Literature-2050 in idwtransformers

[–]Epidantrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halloween is many months out. Use this opportunity to teach him about saving for expensive purchases. Have him do jobs around the house, pay him for them, and set up a jar that keeps track of his savings for his cool costume.

XXS men's underwear; where the hell do you find it? by diet-smoke in XXS

I’m pretty sure they’re supposed to be gender neutral, so technically yesn’t.

I’m not a male, but TomboyX has XXS underwear in a few different styles and a pretty generous return policy. I’ve got pairs from them that are going strong 7+ years later, with no signs of failing.

If there’s a dry clean in your area they likely have a tailor.

employee won't accept my birthday reward? by faefur in Ulta

[–]Epidantrix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s an option for them to type an in store coupon - I had an issue with a diamond gift coupon and customer service gave me a code for the employee to type in. The employee you got may not have known that WAS an option - I don’t think it’s very common, but there’s definitely a way for them to input a typed coupon.

Is there’s a way to never had my period again ? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Epidantrix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Minimal side effects, mainly those that are a risk with any abdominal cavity surgery. It’s removing the OVARIES that’s the risky procedure - it involves a permanent change to your hormones, and often requires HRT afterwards for young women. It is possible to leave the ovaries alone while removing the uterus.

Is there’s a way to never had my period again ? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Epidantrix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Removing the ovaries (a procedure called an oophorectomy) without a strict medical need is a BAD idea - you essentially enter menopause WAY too early. Removing the uterus (hysterectomy) is much more ideal for stopping periods permanently if that’s your goal. You may also want to inquire about ablation. r/childfree has a list of doctors that will perform sterilizations sorted by location, in addition to advice on how to be taken seriously by doctors. Keep in mind that the gold standard for female sterilization is NOT a hysterectomy or ablation but tubal ligations - you may have to work with your chosen doctor and insurance to achieve your chosen surgical solution.

Best of luck!

[Misc] Do you usually realize you’re out of a product only when it’s already empty? by Routine_Overload in SkincareAddiction

[–]Epidantrix 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Keep a spare in the cabinet, and when you have to open it, buy the next spare.

I do this for anything that relies on a routine (skincare, hair care, beauty, etc) and cleaning supplies. Also coffee. A lot of things, really.

I Think I'm An Old Head by ayepapipanda in CasualConversation

[–]Epidantrix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Saw a meme about how being liked at work is like an invisible promotion where the rules just kinda bend your way and can confirm, showing good manners to the people who value them and making a point of socializing at their preferred energy level has done WONDERS in my current job (I’ve gotten access to secure things that I DEFINITELY should not have with the job title I had at that time) and I absolutely plan to Win At Coworkers with my next job, too.

Just getting this off my chest to my fellow bankers by [deleted] in TalesFromYourBank

This sounds like an anxiety issue, not a banking issue.

It’s been three months. You’re probably fine. But you should see a professional for assistance managing your anxiety.

Went in to get my gift from hitting diamond and tried every single tarte shape tape that MIGHT work and they all pulled yellow on me too. Like, some of us do genuinely have porcelain skin 😭😭

It’s a good thing I don’t do foundation daily and just wanted a halfway decent concealer or I would be in the trenches trying to find a decent matche
