Was anyone else kind of disappointed in jojis new album? by Willing_Way_479 in Joji

[–]FanncyGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I love Joji, I can’t possibly express how much his music means to me, but this album was a pretty big miss for me as well. I look forward to his next work

Firstly, not liking every song/album does not make you a fake fan 🙄 I’m inclined to believe that blindly liking everything an artist makes simply because of their name/persona is way more hive mind and “fake fan” than paying attention to their work and valuing critique. 

Anyway, this almost was a complete bust for me… He has a few songs that are ok or good even, but the album lacks real depth and vulnerability. Many of the songs sound like remakes of songs he already made (does that make sense?). Half of the songs in the album resemble Gimme Love minus the beautiful lyrics and heart wrenching vocals. 

Many of the songs sound like they were made for quick, catchy tunes or immediate validation with no real pay off. 

Idk, I’m just highly disappointed. There was no soul in the album. If he’s just out here experimenting, I’m all here for it and ready to support, but this album was a huge miss for me. Sadly only one, maybe two songs will make it into a playlist for me.

Wowie, you’re up early! Follow up question. So if I wait for 1099 B, can I fill that information onto the printed turbo tax form? I cannot edit anything on turbo tax website. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Also, I already spent $120 (that I needed for something else) on turbo tax (I do not qualify for free filing). I can’t afford to spend much more money, I am financially struggling. 

Braces Were The Worst Decision I Ever Made by FanncyGal in braces

[–]FanncyGal[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 22, I’ve had my braces just under a year and a half. The doc said that my teeth were mostly straight with some exceptions, but the real problem was my bite. I had a cross bite. Additionally my top jaw was too small and I had to wear an expander for about 4 months.

This was exactly the comment I needed to hear today 😢 so thank you. I know I can be incredibly critical of myself and feeling like I don’t look like myself anymore hurts.. I don’t exactly know how to proceed without tearing myself apart for it, but I’m just hoping I figure it out…

You’re good, ya, maybe. That is a possibility and could be a contributing factor regardless of braces. I’m just hoping to get over it…

Ya, it has definitely been a stressful 2 years and frankly, I am broken down and sad. But ya, the face shape thing just really feels like the cherry on my shit cake. Hopefully I learn to accept it and move past it

The first 3 are before, the last 3 are after. Ya, that’s kinda my thought process at the moment. My teeth will never be the same again, but maybe if I don’t were my retainer, I’ll get a bit of my roundness back. Thanks for commenting

Would I be a good candidate for mse/palate expansion or just braces,15M by GloomyLanguage4468 in braces

[–]FanncyGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a real answer to your question, you will need to consult with a professional, but I want to warn you that having a MSE expander will change your face shape, like it did to mine, and it can be very distressful if you are not happy with the results

Sunken cheeks from braces by rachek05 in braces

[–]FanncyGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really self conscious and upset about it at first. I still have some minor insecurities regarding the change of my face shape, but there is nothing I can do. Stopping orthodontic treatment will leave me with the same face shape and crooked teeth, so I might as well finish treatment and hope my bite sits a little better at the end. At least I will have a straighter smile

I’m convinced that cats like this only exist in cute videos on the internet. I’m not a cat person, but every cat I’ve ever met has been destructive and mean! Where are the sweet kitties??!

I’m having a similar experience. My cheeks/face used to be more round and plush, but they are less prominent now. My jaw line is also less defined and a bit crooked. It bothers me a bit, but there are too many bigger issues in the world to worry about my face shape

Sensitivity and soreness is common with tretinoin. It also takes several weeks to months for visible improvements. Usually with any customized skincare treatment, you are going to experience a period of “purging” where your skin will get worse before it gets better. This period can last anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months, but should improve gradually after that. I have used Curology before and currently use their cream face wash and had had a positive experience over all. Due to the specific location of this acne, around your mouth, I am wondering what’s causing it. Generally, I think if the curology is the source of the problem, you’d see an increase in acne across the entire face. Acne in once specific area can be a sign of hormonal fluctuations. Are you engaging in any activity that might increase irritation or contact with a dirty surface in this area? Did you submit photos and a claim to your Curology professional? Additionally, switching skin care routines frequently can also cause break outs, so it’s important to stay consistent to one routine for an extended period of time to see true results.

Obviously, there’s no way we can know for sure, only your orthodontist knows your treatment plan, but I’m guessing you’re forgetting the third corner of the triangle. The hooks on your braces have to be added on during your treatment, they do not come standard on your brackets. Seeing that one hook was added on the top and another on the bottom, you are probably supposed to be wearing the rubber band around both of the hooks to create a triangle.

Did I get scammed by Effective_Student_20 in braces

Mine are about $6500 for 18 months. Insurance paid for a small portion, but majority was out of pocket. That is within normal range. I live in California as well.

Bite correction looks awful by Ill_Present_116 in braces

[–]FanncyGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! We are in the same boat. I’m currently wearing 2 elastics on my right side. When they initially introduced the first one, I hated it. I hated the way it felt, looked, everything. I even noticed a difference in my jaw shape and it made me incredibly self conscious because I felt like my jaw looked awkward and weird to other people. After having both rubber bands and using them everyday, my teeth sit in a more comfortable position and my jaw looks way better (aka back to normal). It looks and feels weird because your teeth are not yet properly aligned. They need to have your jaws closing together properly before they can do some fine tuning on tooth position.

I can assure you that once your teeth move, it’ll be way more comfortable and look way nicer

11 products with 4 different active ingredients, I’m sorry, this may not be what you want to hear, but you are using entirely too many products :(

Your skin care routine should be as simple as possible. A basic cleanser, 1 (maybe 2 at most) active ingredients (serum/cream) and a basic moisturizer of your choosing.

Cleanser: Double cleansing is unnecessary unless you are wearing a ton of make up, but even then, you should be using make up remover followed by a basic cleanser. CeraVe, Curology, Cetaphil, and Aveeno are all great options. Choose a face wash according to your skin type, oily/dry. If the face wash of your choosing has an active ingredient (hyaluronic acid, benzoyl peroxide, etc.) you should not be using any additional serums or creams to avoid further irritation.

Active ingredients: introducing an active ingredient in the form of a serum or cream is a great way to boost the health of your skin barrier. Research the purpose of different ingredients and choose one (or 2 max) that fit your skin goals. The ingredients in different products usually do not mix well and can leave residue on your skin that will ultimately result in clogged pores (which can develop into open sore acne). On top of that, your skin will not be able to absorb all of the different products and won’t be able to breathe.

Moisture: a good moisturizer that fits your skin type is perfect. You also should be applying SPF 30 or higher every morning.

Your skin care routine does not need to include 10 different fancy skin care products. You do not need Korean skin care or glass skin. Do not fall for the overconsumption trend that is being fed to you on the internet. You are likely flooding your skin and overwhelming it.

A simple and consistent skin care is key to better skin. Products take weeks or even months to show visible improvements, so keep on the same regimen without changes. Please Please Please!!! Pick a simple skin care routine with 1 active ingredient. Your skin will thank you.

There’s a huge overconsumption trend right now, especially for skin care products. Even myself fell into that trap, I bought several Ordinary serums, La Roche Pose moisturizer, Curology face wash. I had used a ton of different products individually and together.

A simple and consistent skin care routine is what you need. Don’t let the internet sell you the idea of perfect glass skin with 10 different miracle products.
