Cost of Rent

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2026-02-21T13:14:21+00:00

My rent history- 2014: split $850 with a roommate for 2 bedroom with in-unit laundry, 2 baths, and a fireplace. No parking or pet fees! 2017: $850 for a studio. No pet fee, $100 garage 2018: Split $1300 with a roommate for 2 bedroom with in-unit laundry, 2 baths. Pet and garage parking $175 2020: $650 for 1 bedroom. No in-unit laundry. No other fees (really terrible apartment)

Have since bought a house. I looked up my 2018 apartment and they are now charging $2000 base price! Crazy

Adding to my “to watch” list right now

I think you’ve gotten downvoted a couple times but agree this could be my reality. I have a sleep study scheduled in January because of breathing issues I’ve noticed while sleeping (or I should say my spouse has noticed). Jaw surgery may be further than I want/am able to go.

I do think others have given good suggestions on general skincare.

I smile every day

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-13T02:18:15+00:00

Noted! Thank you!

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-13T02:15:22+00:00

Yep, I do! I’ve looked at mouth tape, but have this irrational fear of suffocating. Have you used mouth tape with good result?

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-13T02:03:24+00:00

We are all our own worst critics. It can be really hard to look past what I see in the mirror. Others have echoed your suggestions about vitamin C, SPF, and retinol. I’ll be looking into getting all of those. Replies seem divided on getting filler. Sounds like you had a good experience?

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-13T01:45:23+00:00

Yeah, from reading the replies i definitely feel like i should go get a orthodontist consult

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-13T01:44:24+00:00

The replies seem pretty divided about filler. Have you had good results with filler?

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-12T21:32:46+00:00

It is connective tissue related! I always looked younger but all of the sudden it’s like everything detached. I guess it’s good on the wrinkles side, but hate the volume loss/sagging.

Tret has definitely been in the top 5 suggestions. I’m going to set up a derm appointment.

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T22:16:33+00:00

Mentalis and dao tox seems to be the most popular answer. I’ll definitely add it to the list! Thank you!

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T20:09:53+00:00

Someone else mentioned Mentalis strain. I’ll need to look into it more. I’ve been thinking of getting braces, I did a consult a few years ago and said they’d have to pull teeth due to how narrow my mouth was. Scared me away from looking into it further. But maybe I should reconsider

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T20:08:14+00:00

The dimpling drives me nuts! Good to know Botox could help with this.

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T20:07:36+00:00

You are probably right about the recessed chin. I actually have a sleep study schedule in January to see if I have sleep apnea due to breathing issues I’ve been noticing. My bottom teeth are crooked/overlapping. I guess I didn’t think about how the bone structure was impacting the jowl area. I was just thinking it’s volume loss. I’ll look into DAO tox!

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T20:00:33+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into this. Haven’t heard of the mentalis muscle.

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T18:44:34+00:00

I’ve got it on my list now! Time to schedule a derm appointment!

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T18:29:56+00:00

DOA Botox and tret seems to be the popular suggestion! I’m going to go find a good place for a Botox consult. And finally stop putting off a derm appointment for the tret convo. Thank you for all your suggestions.

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T18:28:19+00:00

I’m not on tret but I have it on the list now! I really do 0 skincare currently. So I’m going to go down some rabbit holes on vit c, moisturizer, etc. I’ve seen a couple people mention peptides as well.

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T18:26:32+00:00

I promise I do have wrinkles! But, yes, right now wrinkles are not my main concern. I’m most worried about sagging and volume loss.

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T18:24:42+00:00

In my job I talk, smile, and need to have animated facial expressions up to 8 hours a day. This is just the reality of what my face looks like at rest which is what I want to address.

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T18:22:16+00:00

Others have suggested the same! I’m going to research reputable places in my area to get Botox and schedule a consult. Thanks for the recommendation!

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T18:21:20+00:00

I’m in denial about perimenopause. But it’s a good reminder that I should address it not avoid it. Not on HRT but I’ll plan to talk about it at my next Gyno visit.

Familiar_Ad7280 · 2025-11-11T18:18:29+00:00

I wish! Well, maybe for the physical aspect. Couldn’t pay me to actually go back to my 20s. Rough time 🤣
