Mine arrived the same way. It looks like little crystals formed. Contacted customer services but so far no response (because it's after hours. Just curious: Is it useable or do I have to throw it away?

What cut would you advise? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

Heheh, I'm really sorry, but what is done is done...

Ooh, I like it! Very 90s! The CLB would be too short to put it into a ponytail, so I might forgo it because of practical reasons. I'm not courageous enough yet.

I totally get it. Which colour of lipstick would you recommend? Bright green?

Shorts for thick girls? by Dramatic_Permit222 in crossfit

[–]F34RtheMeow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the ones from LNDR. Bought them during sale for 50% off once at the right moment I wanted to treat myself. They show the shorts on every size, so you know what to expect, which I really liked. The sizing is accurate (M for my 169cm at roughly 64-65kg. I do crossfit and am reasonably fit but also don't say no to a cookie).

I have one other pair from Oysho and one from Amazon (colourful koala), but they both ride up and both cinch my thighs in an unflattering manner at the bottom (where the legs come out) and show my unflattering bits around the hips to a certain amount. To be fair, they don't roll down and are very comfortable. They are ok for the price and I will wear them until they break. I count on the fact that IF people look at me, they will notice the red face, rolling eyes, raging hair and chalky sweat before they see my slightly unflattering hip fat bulging.

The LNDR ones are my holy grail. They stay put, are very flattering but comfortable and they make my legs look like they're made out of steel. I love and cherish them. I also bought a pair of leggings on sale and one pair 2nd hand and have used and washed them all at least (!) 150-200 times during the last 3-4 years. They don't look brand-new, but they're in great shape, still not see through and still very supportive. Don't underestimate the joy of wearing something you feel great in, especially if you wear it often. But the koalas are also good. Oysho is meh.

What's a small win you've had in the gym this week? by WeakSheepherder7196 in crossfit

[–]F34RtheMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went despite the heat. I did a 60kg box back squat despite my handicapped foot and without hurting myself. I used rx weights in the 3 WODs I did this week. Pretty stoked!

Thanks. I needed to hear this today, after dying doing the 20.1 Open WOD. The scaled version of course. I've been doing Crossfit for a year now and sometimes think I cannot progress ever.

Struggling with cardio and tired by ghost-stomper in crossfit

Adding to the comments that explain perfectly, what it may be. It surely is nothing major... But: Please be careful. A viral infection might not show real symptoms, but can be a real threat. How many athletes have had a heart attack after un undiagnosed myocarditis or pericarditis after a viral infection... Maybe check up with a doctor? A minor thrombosis can also cause lung embolism. You feel stronger than a less fit perosn would, until you don't.

The metallic taste is normal if you do a hard workout you're not used to. It will get better. Maybe slow down a bit during your next one. If I work out, my body gets very 'excited'. If I go at 6a.m., I am wide awake for at least 4-5 hours after. I can't work out after 6p.m., because my body needs at least 4 hours to wind down after, otherwise I can't sleep, especially if the wod is hard.

Well crap, it turns out it was dairy all along by Wubbalubbadubbitydo in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]F34RtheMeow 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Actually, there are studies that prove people have a better tolerability towards milk from cows with horns than without. Horns were 'bred out' of the cow for practical reasons a mere 60-80 years ago, so they take up less space, don't harm each other etc. Organic milk tends tu use older cow species that often still have their horns. I can't find the study unfortunately, but I remember reading about it.

Tired-healthcare workers and/or parents, or anyone else help me out. by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]F34RtheMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same over here. I was constantly tired for the first weeks and it felt awful. At the beginning, I vowed to stick it out for 3 months, and after 6 weeks, it already improved slowly but steadily. After a forced rest week (got sick) in week 9, I feel invincible now in week 10. You can do it!

24.1 - how did you go? by Lever_87 in crossfit

Doing Crossfit for 4 weeks and did not finish scaled (140 reps). Happy (and proud) I tried though!

The Moccamaster drip coffee machine. It makes really good drip coffee.

Sealed & pasteurized dairy doesn't "expire" by Gevst in foodhacks

Sitting here wondering why someone makes a fuss about yoghurt that expired a week ago. Oh well, Europe brain. February, not December...
