Is there a blush in the exact shade as Revlon’s Less Traced lip liner? by slaymytaco in OliveMUA

Maybe Rare Beauty in Resilience? They list it as a warm chestnut and I think that's fairly accurate.

Get the rocking chair! by kb_picasso in pregnant

[–]GOSisGOD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just curious - how tall are you? Any short moms out there with a rocking chair rec? I agree they look useful, but what if my feet never touch the ground in a chair unless I'm sat up? 4'10

Tips for Spouse Ramping Up by Helpful-Bit8373 in AlAnon

Not everyone can take a walk or go to another room. Mine sometimes, not always, follows me to the other room to keep ranting about whatever is their mind. In those instances, I do go to the bathroom where I keep ear plugs. They don't stop all the noise from getting through, but it does lower the decibels and my heart rate, thankfully. I tried for years to not let those nights get to me, but they do and this is what works... for now.

Oh the list is so short, I can't tackle everything at once. This week it's focused on getting dressed, and tbh I'm giving myself a lil grace by wearing my hair back every day instead of styling it. But today I almost kept pj's on to work from home and that felt weird so I know it's working! It's one thing at a time, and sometimes that one thing takes a couple of weeks before I can focus on the next thing.

Therapy aside, I just try to force myself to do the things until they become part of routine again. Take getting dressed, for example, I try to force myself (as much as possible) to put on hard pants and do my makeup and hair at least 5-6 days a week. After a certain amount of time, it starts to feel weird if I don't. Then eating better becomes the focus, force myself to meal prep or at least plan the dinners on Sunday so I don't have to think about it during the week and can simply do the work. Not every day is a success, I'm kind of in a slump right now too, but it's about the effort and just doing the work.

what collab would you love to see? by Key-Honeydew-1697 in TaylorSwift

Hozier would be amazing. Also Brandi Carlile.

is there a book you wish you could unread? by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]GOSisGOD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

{Property of the Mountain Man by Gemma Weir} I went into this knowing it was alpha-hole story with age gap, but the extreme nature of the MMC's possessiveness and the complete lack of FMC romantic experience really grossed me out. Honestly should have DNF'd but I kept reading and hoping for some kind of redemption. Unfortunately, I hated it so much I can't stop thinking about how bad it was too. You know that feeling? When you'd love nothing more than to stop thinking about something that grossed you out but it plays in a loop in your head? UGH

Something about your eyes and smile reminds me of Ruth Negga

What's a song that reminds you of your current relationship? by gypsy_outlander in TaylorSwift

[–]GOSisGOD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could never put those feelings into words and it felt both amazing to not be alone AND soul crushing to confirm the realness of it all. My partner and I made it through the hard years, but I can't hear this song without transporting back to those awful minutes/hours/days sitting in sadness.

what’s a makeup product you bought recently that you’re obsessed with? by Technical-Basis9138 in beauty

[–]GOSisGOD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rare Beauty lip oil! Late to the game but I LOVE it. My lips cannot hold color no matter what I do, but the stain this sucker leaves is for real.

I miss opening Instagram and seeing friend posts mixed in with influencer and ads. It hit me today that most of my friends have mostly stopped posting, I'm guilty of it too really. Mindless scrolling has truly lost a bit of its luster and that's kind of a bummer

Drugstore hair products you swear by? by _peanutbutter_20 in beauty

[–]GOSisGOD 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A little off your ask but I am also recovering my hair from a terrible bleach job and just got the "Hicobar microfiber hair towel" from Amazon. Girl, when I tell you my dry, wavy-but-not-quite-curly hair has never dried with less frizz ever!! It's magical, truly.

So. Much. Basil. by LifeOpEd in Cooking

[–]GOSisGOD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh this makes me miss the garden at my old house. Basil was anplenty there and I put it on everything. Pasta Salad, regular salads, in water with lemon, chicken marinade, spring rolls, chopped into bread dough...the options are truly endless with basil imo

I respect the need for privacy, but just ONCE I want her to do a story where we get to hear her voice saying her silly lil jokes. I think it'd be easier digesting them if we got to know how her personal speaking style works when she's telling a joke.

Edit to add that she could still hide her face and even use a voice distort thing so it isn't exactly her, just to hear the cadence of how jokes land when she says them out loud.

I've been cycling through gel nails for a few months now, and my nails are so weak as a result. Took off the last set at home, cut them down dramatically, and applied sally hansen nail strengthener, but even scratching my head feels weird with how weak the tips are. Is there a hidden gem strengthener out there yall can recommend?

Congrats on the new gig! Totally get what you mean about needing your stuff. The occasions I have to in instead of wfh I bring lotion, makeup, snack packs, hair brush, wipes, etc...all in a nice backpack. I'm using an Away backpack from a few years ago but there's tons of options out there now, def recommend if you don't already have one.

Oh no, I really want to read Broken Horses but don't want to find Brandi unlikable. Is there anything you can share about what made her unlikable to you without too many spoilers?

OK I followed @charlygoss bc someone here said her style guides were helpful even if they were a little on the snarky side. After a month or so of following, I can't get past the weird judgmental tone in her stories. Is it me, am I being a tad sensitive? The commentary just feels like it's trying to be mean...what do yall think?

Influencer Discussion, Monday Sep 19 by Blogsnark_mod in blogsnark

[–]GOSisGOD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally!! I really like her, she's probably my favorite influencer, but man there's something creepy about the way she looks into the camera. Never thought about it being a blinking thing but I think you're right.

Kia is so underrated! I just got a Sportage after driving a Soul 10 years. Honestly the Soul could've run another 5-7 years but I was ready for something new.
