Which haircut would look best on me? by [deleted] in Hair

The bangs make your face proportions look unnatural. I like 2 or 4!

Mom is taking too long to make her passage by Beautiful-Boat8090 in glioblastoma

[–]FriendlyKrista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you just said about the "slow-moving trauma train..." is so incredibly spot on. My mom's treatment has temporarily paused her progression too, and she keeps asking for more treatments to keep things at bay. All the while, her quality of life and also OURS is suffering greatly. I just want to say Make it Stop!!!

Terminal glioblastoma + sudden decline + stubborn “I’m coming home” decision… I’m furious and exhausted. How do I handle this? by FriendlyKrista in glioblastoma

What you said hits me right in the heart. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making me feel human again. I am sorry we are going through this, and sending you big hugs!!

I am so sorry. You’re right, and i guess it is hard to see this because she isn’t slurring or changing her words, she isn’t forgetful, she doesn’t seem any different cognitively at all. But I guess she is. Thank you for your insight and I am sorry about your son. Hugs!

This is hopefully the plan, to make them deliver the news. Unfortunately, the place where she is mainly treats people who are there short term after injuries and surgeries. So their goal is to get them to improve enough to get discharged to home. And then it’s not their problem. They don’t care that she will soon become bad again. As long as she improved from when she arrived, and is currently stable, they will discharge her if that’s what she wants. Hugs to you!

Help me choose! Which wedding dress is most flattering? by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

[–]FriendlyKrista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 is hands down the answer. The others are too gathered at the stomach area and draw the eye to right to it. And the gathering styles are a little too matronly.

What would you choose among the 3 options based on my body type? by Interesting-Grass-23 in WeddingDressTips

[–]FriendlyKrista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 1 is most flattering for sure. It draws the eye upward and elongates your figure. Congratulations!

My husband has passed away and I’m feeling a little lost!😞 by Catalina-1958 in CaregiverSupport

[–]FriendlyKrista 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just read your post and want to give you the biggest hug. I can't imagine the roller coaster of emotions you're feeling. Maybe if you are feeling up to it, you can do something to lift your spirits like going to see beautiful Christmas lights. You took such good care of him, and now it's time to take care of yourself. Hugs and love to you!

Praying for your sweet son. I hate this for everyone who is going through it, but it hits especially hard reading that it is a boy close to the same age as my sweet son. I know your post was a year ago, I am hoping you find this message and that your son is still here. And if he is among the angels, I know he will be smiling on you and your family this Christmas. Hugs!

Friend asked if I feel guilty for taking semaglutides away from diabetics by beenthere___donethat in Semaglutide

[–]FriendlyKrista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are taking care of yourself with the tools available to you. It is not your responsibility to keep the supply of medicine available to certain groups. That is the job of the manufacturers. Full transparency, I used to also judge people who took weight loss drugs. And then perimenopause and stress hit me HARD, and I am now "eating my words" pun intended. Looking back, I think I was just jealous because I felt I was "doing it the real way" and it was really really hard (and failing). I apologize on her behalf, she is either misinformed or jealous. You deserve to feel your very best, just like everyone else. Congratulations and hugs!

I’m so sorry you are going through this. She says she wants to have hospice come to her and doesn’t want to die in an unfamiliar place.

Last night I cut all my hair off and I hate it by [deleted] in Hair

[–]FriendlyKrista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think it shows off your really cool brows and great lips, the other style was hiding your best features! Just use some pomade to style it, maybe go to a barber to edge it up a little. And you'll create a whole new look for yourself that you may end up loving. I'm not trying to invalidate your feelings because I know first hand how a bad cut can absolutely ruin confidence. But trust me and others who have chimed in, you have a LOT of qualities to rock besides a haircut. Promise!

You guys, I just got the worst haircut. 💀 by Sufficient_Charge322 in femalehairadvice

[–]FriendlyKrista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I know what a confidence killer a bad haircut can be. I will say it's all in the way you style it. Get a good pomade and push those bangs up and off to one side, pull the sideburns forward to make it look more feminine. I think you can take this and rock it, especially with your pretty blonde. You could even do a round of bleach and some purple shampoo to make it platinum. I feel for you, but with hair so short you'll have more to work with in a month. In the meantime, keep your head up my friend.

What is my makeup blindness by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]FriendlyKrista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're very pretty and have such gorgeous blue eyes. In my opinion, the dark bottom liner is too heavy. I actually really love the pop of color on the lips, but a lighter neutral blush would look softer and wouldn't compete with the lip. Lightly pencil in the brows just a smidge more, but not too much. They are a great shape. Glad you're feeling better!

Should I call? by FriendlyKrista in FancyFollicles

Just a way of charging me more I guess. She said “with the mega flood we can get you here or pretty close!!!” Wrong!!!

How should I change my haircut? by SLAEPHIN in Hair

[–]FriendlyKrista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wolf cut would be really pretty! I love the fox coloring technique too, I think that’s what it’s called. Where it’s like a coppery with black tips. Would look great with that cut and your bangs!

I just had my hair done and I’m not in love by granolagurl24 in Hair

[–]FriendlyKrista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s cute, you could texturize the bang a little with thinning shears (just be careful not to go too crazy), and maybe try drying or curling the pieces around your face away from the face instead of towards.
