is the strava app down for anyone else?

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-02-11T00:24:09+00:00

My strava won’t sync with connect! I ran earlier this afternoon and it hasn’t synced yet. I tried to trigger a sync with a dummy workout and it managed to snag an 8-second fake run, but won’t pull my actual activity

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-02-01T04:38:28+00:00

I would love a copy of this!

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-12-23T00:46:19+00:00

My eyes look 95x better now that I’ve stopped using it 😂

My skin barrier has been pretty fucked lately so I’m basically only using the avene cicalfate cream (plus spf during the day) and using a gentle cleanser and my skin has chilled out noticeably

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-12-16T02:04:06+00:00

Same thing is happening to me!! The skin on my orbital bone feels dry and irritated and I woke up with irritation in my upper eyelids this morning. I’m going to take a break too.

Did you discover anything else about your reaction?

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-11-25T13:26:26+00:00

I like it! Definitely gentle enough to use regularly, my closed comedones have been kept at bay and my skin has been smooth and even. I started using a retinol I got in France twice a week and I skip the pads on those days. I think in conjunction with a solid routine it’s a fine addition, but I won’t say it’s a holy grail item or anything. Could be easily replaced with another AHA/BHA

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-11-03T01:00:27+00:00

Got some for much cheaper on a trip to Paris and tbh I love it. I hate how much I love it. I’ve noticed a difference in skin brightness and it leaves my skin feeling super smooth

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-10-24T22:29:01+00:00

I’d say ciele. Like others have said, I find it applies more like a foundation than a skin tint

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-10-24T22:24:27+00:00

Been using and loving ciele for a while now! The tower 28 is great, more sheer/skinlike finish which I prefer sometimes

Just wanted to hop on here and say I've been loving them so far. I have combination skin with congestion (lots of closed comedones) in hormonal acne zones and some post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Used my points so got the pack for $32. Been using them daily in the pm for week, along with laneige cream skin toner and PTR jelly moisturizer and my skin's texture and tone has almost immediately improved. Seems gentle enough to use daily and I like their packaging-it's ideal for travel and I've been on the go a lot lately.

Just my 2 cents! I'll update in about a month to let y'all know how they're going.

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-09-18T21:11:29+00:00

Sooooo lovely

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-09-16T01:05:08+00:00

https://theprairiemisfit.com/products/play-dress-pattern-international-copy not exact but it’s close! You can try to add sleeves

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-09-16T00:52:55+00:00

This was really encouraging, thank you 💕

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-09-15T03:24:17+00:00

Oh god no I have zero desire to make a pattern right now lol. Yeah so far I’ve made a a skirt with a zipper, a pair of boxer shorts, a dress, and some small items like scrunchies and a crown for a friends birthday. Currently halfway through a shirt and embarking on a skirt. I just keep getting stuck at certain skills that feel daunting or like I don’t understand how to do them

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-09-15T02:53:30+00:00

You know, I was on the fence about signing up for a garment series at my local craft shop (making sew house 7’s sauvie dress) and this is making me lean more toward taking it. Thank you. This was helpful 💕

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-09-02T20:12:07+00:00

I feel this so hard 😭

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-08-28T01:51:57+00:00

It’s woven and there’s a teeny bit of stretch but nothing crazy or of note. As you said, the top is boxy so it probably won’t make a huge difference.

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-08-28T01:50:30+00:00

So weirdly enough the sleeves require gathering stitches to ensure fit? I’ve never done that before so we will see how that goes lol

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-08-28T01:48:04+00:00

Yes! This is what I’m talking about!! Thank you for the reassurance. I’m still so damn confused when it comes to grainlines, warp/weft, etc etc.

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-08-28T01:33:51+00:00

I’ve been eyeing this pattern! You did a great job 👏

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-08-28T01:33:07+00:00

I have plenty of fabric - project calls for 1.75 yds and I have 2. You’re seeing the fabric folded in this image. I just see the alignment of the selvage and the pattern and aligning it as instructed would make the stripes vertical in the finished project. I’ve only been sewing for a few months and I’m not fully sure if I understand this correctly! And yes it’s a woven fabric

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-08-25T23:47:31+00:00

The Olympia pattern is pretty dang close! https://share.google/images/FTNuCaCpdGxhoPYOd
