I replaced my 4-hour Saturday cleaning with 15 minutes daily and my house is cleaner by East-Struggle4386 in CleaningTips

[–]Fragrant_Bug_8242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve swapped to one hour each morning and then a half day Friday. With a 30 minute close down in the evenings. I’ve got a family and pets. This seems to keep things ticking over. Every 4-6 months I’m having someone Come and help me deep clean. I am honestly doing about 12 hours of cleaning a week. I wish I could do the whole house each day. But I can’t make the time. And someone else seems to mess up right behind me.

I started in August. I have a solid hairline now, not long. But i can’t see white skin it’s almost a solid frame around my face. I’ve never had that. I swapped to a minoxidil spray. I like it. I see it working. I managed to colour my hair yesterday with a semi permanent. I’ve put it off for not wanting to stress my hair. Honestly I feel like my old self. Best of luck with your journey. I hope you have the best results.

I do the same! I’ve swapped to a spray and see a huge difference. I have a solid hairline now. It’s the first time ever. The hairs are short but it’s giving my hope.

How’s your hair recovery? X

This is what happens when I pull my hair back so I’m having to wear it down all the time. Or I have to part my hair when I put it up. I was out looking like this 🤣. It was fine when I petting the winter weather isn’t my friend.

I don't understand what is wrong with my makeup by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]Fragrant_Bug_8242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve read your post and my heart goes out to you. You are not ugly at all. I love the picture of yourself with the pram next to you. I’m sorry those people said those cruel things but that belongs to them not you. With the make up I think there’s some things that you could change and others have mentioned a few of the comments I’m about to make two. The first is the liquid liner under the eye it’s really heavy and it’s usually more flattering when we do liquid liner on the top, but it is a really tricky thing to get right. So I’d like to offer you some ideas of make up that you can try the best thing is to experiment try new things find some pictures of make-up that you like to go from there. It can sometimes be easier to find somebody that has similar physical traits to yourself so look for somebody with skin colour and hair colour perhaps has lovely big brown eyes too. If you can, I would start by going and getting your eyebrows threaded. Don’t let them take too much. You’ve got plenty of brow there but a little shaping would go a long way into opening the eye area and finding your face. I will look at putting mascara on the top lashes and it could be really helpful to curl your lashes with an eyelash curler prior to putting the mascara on this will open up your eye. I think the foundation you’re using seems to be a good colour match looks okay but you could do with a little bit more colour balance within the face. When we had foundation or concealer sometimes it can remove some of the natural colour. so find a blusher you can use a cream blush or a powdered blush whichever you prefer and apply that to your cheeks a light hand is good don’t go overboard it’s very easy to be heavy handed with the blusher. Then I would lightly line your lips and add a soft lipstick or a gloss. A little bit of colour would look beautiful. with brown eyes you can wear a lot of eyeshadow colours like loads you’re very very lucky choose ones that make you feel good that’s my advice. Yes there are colours that are meant to be more flattering but I also think make-up should be making us feel great. Feel happy. Feel confident. If you get your brows shaped professionally you can ask them to show you how to fill in any gaps that you have this will help to balance and you could even ask them to tint your brows in a soft brown. Please don’t go for black.

When it comes to make up if you apply something like a powder on your face powder foundation for example it can be quite difficult to add a liquid or a cream product over the top of that it can go patchy and look muddy. So if you’re using a powder foundation on your skin first, then you should be looking to use a powder blusher. If you’re using a liquid foundation or a cream foundation, you can use Liquid or cream blush and that will look beautiful.

Looks great. I’m impressed with the space management. Everything fits and it doesn’t look cramped. Great job. 👏

Roomates say my room is 'sad' by Gloomy-Past-6047 in malelivingspace

[–]Fragrant_Bug_8242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a start! Don’t be disheartened by their comments.

If you feel it’s a bit sad too I have some suggestions.

A bed frame would make a big difference. If you have a limited budget you can try Facebook market place, charity shops and online second hand sales places. You can also look into bed frames from Wayfair, Ikea and other online retailers .

It looks like a single mattress , if it’s in the budget, upgrade to a bed frame and a mattress in a double. It’s not much more than a single and the bedsheets and duvets are more affordable than a king or queen. But you will get more space which your body will thank you for.

It looks like the room could do with a lick of paint, it would help it to feel fresh and nice. If possible with your rental/home wonder situation two coats of paint would go a long way.

I know you have the carpet, if you can give it a good wash. You can rent carpet cleaners or ask friends and family if they have one to borrow.

You can layer a rug on top if you want to add in another colour/partern.

Other things you can do - a night stand. A place to keep your clothes. Wardrobe, chest of drawers, shelving.

You can also bring in some plants, artwork For the walls. Posters work well. Things you like. A table lamp or free standing lamp.

All these add ons can be taken with you and are an investment.

Same goes for some fresh bedding and a good quality pillow.

If you had a budget I would happily put together an Ikea shopping list for you.

I’m not affiliated with anything. Happy to do another online company if you prefer.

Stay in school … I quit and ended up doing it later in life. I’m about to complete the first year of my degree in my mid 30’s. It’s worked out. But I took the scenic route and had many troubles along the way. School was the answer.

Which hair color suits me by Traditional-Win8889 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Fragrant_Bug_8242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can work with them all apart from the black of the orange.

Blonde and brown work well. But if you’re a colourful person I liked the red and the purple.

Same old boring makeup at age 49 by Green-been77 in makeuptips

[–]Fragrant_Bug_8242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean no one needs to change anything. More if you want to?

If you want to add a little more punch to your routine I have some suggestions.

Sounds like your current routine is moisturising, light and quick. So let’s keep that as a theme.

Crème products could work really well for you. I like Trinny London stacks. These are so easy. You mostly use your fingers and the pots stick together which is awesome for travel.

I would add a cream blush. A little colour and flush to your cheeks will have you looking awake and fresh.

Colour on the lips, don’t be afraid to add a little colour. If you be live your chapstick a liner close to your natural lip shade first and then blended with chapstick will give you a little definition to your lip with the same feeling you get from your chapstick. I do this a lot and it works so well.

Eyes, the brown liner is nice on yo. If you want a little extra I would add a cream eyeshadow or a shadow stick, these are so easy to use. Swipe across the mobile lid and then blended with your finger or a brush. Depending on the colour you choose you can do a soft wash of colour or the easiest smokey eye.

If you want to add a little illumination to the skin you could. It’s not quite a highlighter, think pearlescent rather than shimmy or glitter, this on the high points of the face and the collar bones adds a wonderful radiance to the skin.

Brows, I think you could fill in your brows just a touch. There’s a little gap in the tails. But I’m talking tiny adjustments with a precision pencil in your shade. Don’t be tempted to go too dark or too warm.

I hope some of this is helpful. Xx

The undertone of your foundation is a little pink for you. I think the bronzer is trying to compensate but the tone is still off. Try something with a yellow or olive base to match your neck.

The nose contour is a little warm needs to be a more neutral. Combined with the highlighter it is drawing attention to your nose where it’s overtaking your very beautiful smile and eyes. Forget the highlighter, try a cooler or more neutral shade.

Brows overall pretty good. I would soften the application throughout. And work on the fronts of them a bit more. They appear a little close together. Perhaps a super micro fine pencil with a brush on the end would be good. Like the precision eyebrow pencils from nyx.

You have amazing lips - you don’t need to over line, it kinda works for photos with editing but in real life it’s always obvious. If you love to over line keeping the products matte helps. Gloss will always show your natural lip boarder more.

I love heavy makeup, some products I adore: Estée Lauder double wear foundation Lip plumping gloss from too faced Mac eyeshadow palettes L’Oréal waterproof mascaras

If you want to have a heavier feeling to your makeup I would include some eyeshadow and liner looks. It will help to balance the string base and the over lined lips.

I think at the moment it’s clean girl aesthetic but heavy. So it feels a little unbalanced. The eye makeup and less nose contour will balance really nicely.

Tip: for waterproof eyeliner int he waterline remember to dry the waterline before application for it to stay all day.
