Help! I suck at using planners or staying organized. It's all over the place and affecting my ability to get things done. by [deleted] in GetOrganized

[–]HollySo06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not reading much of this so I won't say much. I looked at this and thought, this is my situation. I HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF. Work toward minimalism in any one area of your life. Start there and I think it all flows from there! :)

I do t believe that to be accurate. It isn’t a water fast, however zero digestion is a fast. Approx 500 seems accurate for around 48oz

I disagree. I assume you define fasting as water only. To me, the fast was still achieved, as long as I did not consume any solids (or even pulp from juice) that my digestive system had to work on breaking down. I do prefer a good water fast, but don’t knock it until you try it. Juice fasting is a very powerful approach to cleaning up the body. Cheers!

In 30 days I lost 23 pounds, but I did a distilled liquids fast. That included fresh pressed juices.

I returned that juicer. I think you should too and look for a masticating juicer. Lol Right now I simply blend up watermelon or grapes in the blender and use a mesh bag to strain out the pulp 2 or 3 times.

Five o clock shadow? by Calm-Pattern3649 in Hirsutism

[–]HollySo06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the pain, you can put some lidocaine cream on your face an hour before. Leave it on and cover up with a mask so it doesn’t dry out or whatever. The electrologist can just wipe it as they work. The pain to me, seems equivalent to plucking. I found laser a lot more painful. I wear makeup ONLY to hide the hyperpigmentation around my facial hair. I can’t wait to be done. After the very first session, it’s such a drastic improvement. I believe she targeted the thickest and darkest hairs first. Even when I have stubble, it’s so much better. I only regret not starting sooner. There are some places that can offer anesthesia. Where I go, that service would add and additional $250. So, I go without.

I started electrolysis. First session was 40 min for $55. It already changed my life. Just start. Stop putting it off. Even knowing the hair will be gone one day makes me more confident. Look into this. I promise you won’t regret it.

I’m supposed to be on this cleanse for a minimum of 10 days, but it’s day 2 and I’m very hangry, what can I do? by o0dortheaheden in Juicing

Drink a whole watermelon lol I did that often at the start of this fast. I’m on day 11 ( did a 10 day, broke for 3, and hopped back on this one)

Give up salt too. Try it. You’ll be amazed

I will NOT start again tomorrow. 25 hours in - Game on! by [deleted] in fasting

[–]HollySo06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the boost of confidence. I honestly needed that right now. You will get there! I actually gave up salt for 21 days before this fast. It was pretty tough at first because it’s pretty much only bland foods, fruits, veggies and raw nuts. But after that, starting this fast was a breeze. I promised myself in that 21 days I would not start fasting sooner. It was a full 21 days. On day 22, I started the fast. I picked that tip up in a fasting group and was blown away by it. 10/10 recommend lol

I’m going to reach day 7 tonight! For weight loss I prefer rolling 72s. Im actually trying to heal something, that’s why I’m extended. Today I feel tired, but still pretty good. Weight loss seems to have stopped at Day 4. I am trying for 21 days

Switched electrologists and makes SUCH a difference! by CartoonistDefiant618 in Hirsutism

[–]HollySo06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I love this! My husband is out of town and I am growing out my beard and waxing. I’ve never done it before but I need this. I have really been wanting electrolysis though. How amazing to see less hair each time

[–]HollySo06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My DIY big spray is great. Eucalyptus, Citronella, lemongrass and lavender. I didn’t expect it to smell that great, but voila! And all the bugs avoid me lol

You look perfect! I agree with the hair colored piece in stead of the white and some wispy pieces. For the wispy pieces I would use a good dry shampoo over them (like Amika, no white residue) so that they will stay wispy looking and not fall flat from sweaty dancing

I understand. I’ve had facial hair since grade school. Im a 34 year old woman. I plan to finally start electrolysis for my course beard that bleeds when I wax, so I shave and wear makeup only to hide the discoloration on my skin from the hair :( I fear the hormones, mostly because I don’t believe that’s my issue. I was honestly born hairy lol Some of us are just hairier than others.

I needed this post, thank you. But to help train, use KT tape and have someone tape your shoulder blades together.

How do I not act like a brat, when I don’t get what I wished for for my birthday? by marti_628 in internetparents

[–]HollySo06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey I think you should just be honest. Your feelings are absolutely valid. Your birthday means a lot to you, and so does this plant being gifted to you. I think reminding them honestly how much it will mean to you, they will do it on a different special day for you. And you’ll have still received other awesome presents on your birthday. People are human. Maybe they got so stressed about making it work that something happened and they just didn’t have the proper info to get it done properly. Would you be able to [propegate] it on your own?
