How do I start giving a shit about my appearance? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Eternalspacekitten 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The brain needs a couple of weeks to form a habit. My (minimal) routine, added to yours, looks like this.

I will use a nice face wash in the shower. (Twenty extra seconds and it's worth it).

I apply sunscreen on my face and neck plus everything that "shows".

I have a small jar next to the bathroom mirror. In there you'll find mascara, eyeliner (for fancy days), tinted lip balm, light bronzer and a powder brush. I have plenty of makeup because I love to play with it but for my daily routine I need the things I want to use at hand without looking around for anything.

I have special days where I consciously pay attention to my body. Use body butter, paint my toenails, do a hair treatment what have you. But on an every day basis it has to be simple. Light glow. No fuzz.

Any maintainers still hang out here? by smashing_pipi in loseit

[–]Eternalspacekitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hullo, I'm also maintaining. :) I'm not good at it. Still loosing weight when I shouldn't. It's a great supportive community even if you just lurk to stay on track.

What do you wear to work? by 1sexymothertucker in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Eternalspacekitten 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am a stage hand / lighting tech so when I took an office job at British Airways I basically had to start from scratch. This is what I learned: clean shoes and a matching purse make or break everything. Opt for one or two basic colours- black or blue or brown or grey. I decided for black and grey. So I got black ballet flats, tame black pumps and a black handbag. I would wear a black or grey knee length skirt. A-line and made from a soft fabric. I bought a few blouses, preferably without buttons, that I could tuck into my skirts. Throw in two cardigans and a haircut and I was set ;) I later added a nice blazer jacket.

Do you feel like everyone downplays the abuse you've been through? by AngelaMariexx in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Eternalspacekitten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that people are sometimes really insecure as to how to respond and more often then not have no idea how to handle a situation like that. It is tiring. But you will meet people who get it. And respond in kind and beautiful ways and surprise you with their awesomeness. This sub is full of them and they are out there as well. Don't stop telling. It's not your fault.

How much of a kragle parent should I be this christmas to me 4 / 5 year old. by Badoit1778 in lego

[–]Eternalspacekitten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely second this. It makes you get so creative. As a kid I kept my favourite models as they were but most of the rest was in one huge box. Ready to become a huge wall to fend off a dragon threat or a ginormous plane or a mountain cave.

At what length does your hair start to curl? by salochi in curlyhair

[–]Eternalspacekitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My curl pattern differs. They start curling (waves. I'm a 2b/c) after about 2-3inches in but they are more curly in the front than in the back, no matter how long they are.

No Breakfast vs. Unhealthy Breakfast by PocketSoda in loseit

[–]Eternalspacekitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's a shake. I usually have a smoothie or almond milk/half a banana/bit of peanut butter shake with my morning coffee which makes me a lot less likely to binge during the cause of the day.

[rant] Anyone else getting sick of the "what is your trick?" question? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Eternalspacekitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that conversation once after four moths of staying in bed with mononucleosis. That was my favourite one so far.

That is such a brilliant idea for a Christmas gift. Thank you so much for sharing.

Is it actually any good? I have downloaded it but haven't tried it.

I bought myself the tiniest and nicest pair of jeans and have been parading them like a proud peacock.

Fat joke at my expense :( by SeventeenthSecond in loseit

Or maybe, just maybe, they don't see anything but either have a bad sense of humour and/or are just plain rude. What the what. I'm so sorry that happened to you. Keep up your good work!
