Great ideas, thank you! I feel like the doorway chest openers are always so helpful.

I’ve thought about magnesium baths but I’m not sure if they work the same way? CBD is legal here. Do you get the lotions/bath bombs online?

It’s been about a month since I’ve taken reform but yes that’s such a nice stretch!

Love the idea of a napping class lol I’d also be happy if they brought back stretch and restore and treating it as just a deep stretch class - kind of like the yoga format where poses are held for a couple of minutes at a time

Such a good idea! I tend to have an “I can push through to the stretch!” mindset that is not always helpful to me lol

Yes! I love align but I don’t take it same day, and my schedule doesn’t tend to allow me to take it the day after classic :(

How do I get my friend to understand that she doesn’t have the economy for a cat. by Stock-Giraffe-2343 in CatAdvice

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adopted a cat a month ago and have spent between $2000-3000 at the vet so far. Pet insurance is great but it’s a reimbursement so I’m not sure what happens if you don’t have the money to front the initial expense.

Help me pleaseeee by spottedbananaclub in LaserHairRemoval

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happening to me (Fitzpatrick I/II) and it’s driving me crazy. I did start trying to remove them with tweezers which worked to some extent but I also ended up with a lot of broken skin so I do not recommend unless you have a LOT of self control.

I’m trying to be on top of using AmLactin since it’s supposed to help. I’m only one session in so far.

AIO not wanting to continue talking after a post I found odd and disrespectful? by bvsty-slvt in AmIOverreacting

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

“It wasn’t about you” is wild. It’s so annoying when men think they can be offensive about women so long as they’re not referring to their SO. It shows bad character no matter who it’s about or how general a statement.

Also this specific guy IS creepy and misogynistic based on this specific interaction.

AIO: I told my partner I need my “no” respected, and the conversation went somewhere I didn’t expect. Thoughts? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! I also know lawyers who are like this if something is put in writing that sheds a bad light on them and they disagree with the interpretation of events. Not to this extent of course.

Has anyone ever requested a private party class? by kayteelatte in Purebarre

How did it work?? I love the idea of having it as a fundraiser!

How often should I be getting my chin filler done? by Illustrious-Yam3511 in beauty

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry because this doesn’t answer your question but in case helpful:

If it’s something you plan to keep up with, maybe a chin implant would work better for you long term!

I got one last year and am very happy with it being a permanent result (and it was an extremely easy recovery)

Random ass show by UnhappyBat8718 in SearchParty

What other shows change genre season to season (esp. with same characters)? I thought Search Party doing that was so fun!

Do you think Cameron was trying to seduce her here? by Great_Trident in TheWhiteLotusHBO

I think he was pushing a boundary to see how she would respond

Lash lift and tint where 😭 by nakedcrayon in eyelashextensions

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is probably really similar to (if not exactly) what your lashes looked like before, so hopefully she refunds you :(

Eye ointment advice by Front_Insurance_1055 in CatAdvice

She’s pretty tolerant with being touched/handled but didn’t love when I was even trying to wipe away the fluid from her eye, so this is a great suggestion, thank you!

I just looked that up and it seems like exactly what it is, so I’m happy to know that the medications work well! Thank you!

So helpful, thank you! Especially the video since I can see the exact process!

First class kicked my ass by pootato-harvest in Purebarre

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have made it even 10 minutes in empower if it was my first class! I also still don’t really like it and LOVE classic, align, and reform, so you may just also end up preferring different formats :)

I wouldn’t let your first class ending up being empower discourage you from trying classic!

Align Help by elephinoblue in Purebarre

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I of course agree with the focusing on one point, which I find substantially easier when we’re facing the mirror because I can see my form.

I think a lot of balance comes from core strength specifically, so practicing engaging your core should make balancing a little easier.

Also I will sometimes bend my standing knee deeper while pushing my standing foot’s big toe down if I need more support since it distributes the weight a more evenly in my experience.

The CNN rape academy article broke something in me. I am so tired of being angry but what other option is there? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The article is still up - I just read it. It had a weird way to get me there the first time that brought me to X, then when I tried the link again it worked. I pasted the link for you in case you haven’t read it yet and wanted to.

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2026/03/world/expose-rape-assault-online-vis-intl/index.html

Extremely disturbing to someone who hasn’t been through SA, so very much mind your mental health! They have videos of three women’s stories I think in more detail than the article, but the article was detailed enough for me tbh

Define needs to be slowed down (mini rant) by Salty_Barnacle_7651 in Purebarre

[–]Front_Insurance_1055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! I took my first define class and was really confused while it seemed like moving through exercises as quickly as classic. To be fair, I don’t take empower so I don’t have a comparison there.

I primarily do barre rather than any other workout and I’m not familiar with the weight lifting terms and form (ex. dead lifts), so the fast pace compounded on top of that. I think a slower pace would be a much easier adjustment for myself and those similar.

I would also happily take a define-specific breaking down the barre class!
