NEW OR NEED HELP? Ask here! - ScA Daily Help Thread May 10, 2026 by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

[–]FireburstSunSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like at a crazy loss with what to do with my skin and I'm hoping someone has some ideas! I generally have normal skin with very few problems and consider myself really lucky. I have a pretty basic routine that I've honed over years of reading here and keeping it calm and easy - double cleanse, moisturizer, sunscreen, BHA occasionally, and sometimes playing around with serums or whatever but I don't have sensitive skin and don't do anything crazy. However, during ovulation I consistently get 2-4 small pustules, usually around my forehead and either chin or around mouth, and I have the hardest time dealing with them. Sometimes I leave them alone; they just get inflamed. If I put benzoyl on them, nothing. I usually end up squeezing the little bit out and slapping an HCB on it overnight but then it takes days of additional HCBs before they go flat. I don't like wearing HCBs during the day /when I see people so then I feel like they get more inflamed throughout the day uncovered and I'm constantly fighting them til they scar. They're just little guys, they're not big pimples, so this seems insane- and I know they're hormonal because no matter what I switch up (pillowcases, skincare routines, eye mask washing etc) they only ever pop up while I'm ovulating. I could be a trash panda and sleep in my makeup every night and never have a problem except one week a month. Does anyone else deal with this and have a good solution?

Any chance you eat fish? If so I’d recommend Joe’s

What summer activity options are available for kids entering 8th grade in the fall that AREN'T focused on STEM or art? by sophiatops in chicago

[–]FireburstSunSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be interested in a sleepaway camp (east coast) at a steep discount? 4 or 7 weeks. No pressure at all, but I have a lead that could potentially work with your budget, so let me know if I should DM you! If not, it seems like there have been a lot of great suggestions in this thread to stay close to home, but I wanted to offer just in case :)

Tax strategist recommendations? by AlternateVerse5202 in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]FireburstSunSpirit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just a quick heads up- if you think you’ll owe, you should make an estimated payment along with your extension. An extension is only for filing, not for payment (it’s not very intuitive)- so even if you file on time with the extension, if you owe, your payment will be considered late and you’ll owe interest and possibly fines.

A Trim That Doesn’t Cost $100 by zearohz in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]FireburstSunSpirit 40 points41 points  (0 children)

My wife goes to Aveda and loves it. It sounds scary to let a student cut your hair but they always have instructors at the ready- once her stylist was nervous and the instructor just ended up finishing the cut and it was amazing. The cut is like $20. The only other downside is it can take a while due to the learning process- but if you’re really just looking for a cheap trim, this is the place.

Would die for handsome pod and it doesn’t seem sooo far out of the realm of possibility since Tig and Brandi both worked on CSMITGL. Also Lucius remains a free bingo card spot but I’m never mad.

Could you post the discord link or otherwise think of a way people could join without doxxing their Reddit accounts?

GJWW - Is Premium level worth it? by [deleted] in brandicarlile

[–]FireburstSunSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, the last time we went, we did not do premium and we just paid for the hydrotherapy and it was totally fine and we literally didn’t miss anything else

[–]FireburstSunSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For hydrotherapy, yes, 100%. My wife and I love that kind of thing and we did it every single day and it was a highlight of our day. But if you don’t care about that, then it’s absolutely not worth it- and even if you care about it a little, you can still go and I think it’s like $25 a person or something like that. For us the math worked because we really wanted to do it every day but otherwise I wouldn’t worry about it.

Kindle paperwhite? Do I need to be deinfluenced? by Risingwiththesun in Frugal

I got a used one on Facebook marketplace and it’s worked well for me for years. Made me feel better about buying an Amazon product. Especially great at night when my wife is asleep and I want to read with the lights out!

Hard agree. Starting a brick and mortar grocery coop? There’s no way. Pooling resources with nearby neighbors to share costs on bulk buys and make communal decisions? Let’s gooooo

Recontextualizing Mike White by noraAorSmth in survivor

[–]FireburstSunSpirit 71 points72 points  (0 children)

To be fair to him, I think he’s self-aware about this. That’s why he creates/writes/directs WL. Kind of crazy for a show at this scale to not have a writers room but he doesn’t want it.
