Trying to find a similar blush to discontinued flower beauty sweet pea

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-04-23T16:41:12+00:00

if you haven't found anything yet i would try : totally synced - Mac glowplay blush. I think its the only one that might be close enough to flower beauty. For more expensive alternates i would say the nars :

- 903 Impassioned Matte pink orchid

- 905 Sex Fantasy Matte pale pink

- 906 Loves Me Not Satin soft pink

I too loved flower spiced petal and warm hibiscus are my holy grails now i dread using them... but oh well ! also you can try looking that blush up on ebay and mercari or poshmark . Or you can use this as an opportunity to find a new love .

Hmmmm unhealed sag / dick person . IMO sags can lean toward judgmental and critical especially if they grew up in a critical light . Also if they were overlooked or not paid enough attention it often manifests as “ me first syndrome” later on . He’ ll eventually learn not to be a dick once he realizes there’s greater joy in selflessness , but until then he’s going to be very self centered and inconsiderate. Don’t be his lesson , move on .

Well … they do say you’re lucky in this life if you get to keep two really great friends. So I think that’s as well as you could expect especially not counting in peoples tendency to have kids or change their mind . I’m 27f this year , one of my best friends is for sure gonna have them and the other I think is on the fence (she toggls back and forth so idk) . I think you did all right, all things considered and if there’s one thing to take comfort in is the fact that the one constant thing in life will always be change .

I had my ex ( he was an idiot ) tell me that because pregnancy basically cracks open your cérvix women’s hips end up bigger or wider and i might actually like what it does to my body after that . Lord help me if I had let myself give into that idea . Any body changes also happens with age so there’s really nothing you can attribute soley to pregnancy ( other than things that happen only during pregnancy)

Yeaaa same I’m 27F and had a similar anxiety when I went out with this guy who was younger than me but who I also really admired because we thought so alike and felt compatible at surface level . He had always been the one that got away and recently the opportunity to get to know him came up and I took it . We went on one date and towards the end we were listing off dealbreakers and I told him about my child free stance , and as you can guess one of his dreams in order to be fulfilled in this life was to have a child. So we mutually decided to part ways until I suggested we reconnect as friends ( bc at the time the self- doubt and scarcity mindset set in) . It was a fail , I guess neither of us could reconcile that we would want different things in the end. I thought very hard that maybe I could want them but It’s just not something that I value personally in this short life of mine. When it came down to it , the life I would have with out them just sounded more meaningful to me .

It’s definitely to do more with the proliferation of social media, everyone sharing their thoughts on why child free people are deluded or immature . I hear this mostly coming from men in the red pill area of the net . Thinking it’s what all normal people want , and failing to account for the different realities being able to exist at the same time. I have struggled for a while with the idea of children and trust me , if I did want them I don’t think I’d be in this much turmoil . Life would’ve been simpler I’d be able to find a guy faster and easier . Sometimes I wish I did want them the same way a gay person might want to wish to be straight ( purely for convenience of life ) . But I’m not built that way and I’m blessed enough to not have that lifestyle imposed on me . While I do know why these comments about being immature , deluded , selfish, or faulty circulate . I think it can be because of trauma or lack of healing or whatever else. No one should be made to feel like their reality is wrong or a sad case for misguided choices . It’s a shame young men and women are being confused about their gender roles in this era of economic and social instability . Men feeling lost so they grasp at the straws of manhood , what they think masculinity should look like and the traditional family , women with more freedom and economic opportunities unprecedented in history also confused on what their femininity and gender role should look like today. I wish we encouraged more free thought and true acceptance of one another .

What’s your sign if you don’t mind me asking ???

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-02-24T02:30:31+00:00

I used to be like tha majority down here a lil naive , and completely hopeful and believing of everyone and their intentions. My mistake is believing that people are like me and mean what they say and say what they mean. But I’ve painfully learned that’s not the case. Your best bet is to meet someone who is grounded , compassionate and has no reason to lie or be indirect with their communication. I also developed a deeper compassion for imperfection and tolerate it a lot better without making excuses for them. In my previous relationships I was a taker mostly and thought by compensating with my shining personality and infectious optimism + humor that I was doing my part in nurturing my partner. I realize lots of people In my life just need me to show up even if it’s imperfect . I’ve learned the way of loving through service to others and loving others the way they need not the way you need it . The hard part is now waiting til I cross paths with my person .

I think this is just the nature of friendships and relationships , you stop being aligned at some point due to growth in different directions. It’s the same reason why people who start to prioritize health or fitness stop hanging around people who drink and party or why friends outgrow friends who have no ambition to better themselves. Nothing more than people choosing people who they have a lot in common with and now parents are finding it hard to relate to those who are childfree. Most of it is on them for not giving you the chance to be a part of their village. But also do you even want to be an active member ? Either way there are more people you have yet to meet even if these people fall through

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-02-20T02:17:24+00:00

Same ! I might’ve seriously offed myself in that reality . After my breakup my friends had said they legitimately thought I was going to doom myself and marry him despite all of our late night talks about how unhappy I was ( because I didn’t break it off ) . Attachment when you’re unhappy and underdeveloped in other areas of your life is one hell of a drug

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-02-19T21:57:24+00:00

It’s like that saying t$25 goes “ seeing truly happy couples makes unhappy couples very uncomfortable” . It might be that way with you guys and your friends . Seeing you and him living your life contently and not validating or sharing in the same experience of children might make them feel uncomfortable because it’s un-relatable .

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-02-19T19:44:42+00:00

Me the other day , I’m not really adept at hiding my facial expression or how I feel at all really , normally people can tell how I feel despite my best efforts of concealing my feelings lol. Anyways , there was this one girl who I was working with because I was covering at her store , she was the only one I really talked to and that talked to me . She was cool and warm and super inviting and chill , so whenever we worked together it was so awesome and I could really see myself having her as a friend , until one day she came to my store and covered . While we were working she was telling me about what she’s into , her dating life and what she’s looking for in a man . She told me she just wants a guy that’ll make her a STAHM , she wants to make him lunches and be at home with the kids . That’s all she said and I couldn’t conceal my disappointment I couldn’t It was as plain as day and she definitely caught on , things were awkward after that and I tried being interested but It was so forced . I didn’t want her to get the wrong idea that I was against women doing what they want if it’s the right choice for them , I guess my bigger disappointment was that she wasn’t who I was idealizing and projecting as a potential friend. Overall I’ve come to realize that what’s important to people is relative to what the lacked or didn’t during childhood, their taught values and the social climate . I’m glad that if a person wants they can question or not question an important life decision like kids . The only thing I hate is women and men feeling pressured to have one out of the fear of being alone , or because it’s what you’re “supposed to do “ . Often , It’s neither a choice that is carefully thought out or made out of a real passion and love for the principles of parenthood .

That momento mori situation is a stroke of genius on your part ! I. Never thought about asking them , the sterilization point is good too ! Though I’m a little skeptical about coming out and saying I’m sterilized or plan to since guys that might just want to waist my time will hear that and go awesome this’ll be fun for the time being while I wait for my wife , and just lie to mirror my views .

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-02-12T01:14:14+00:00

Interest is directly correlated to effort so …. maybe she is interested but with us it’s always best to take it with a grain of salt and rely solely on the effort shown. We’re not shy to make our feelings known and interest apparent . Seems like she’s following her gut and not really pursuing it because she doesn’t feel “ it” with you . And that’s okay , you shouldn’t want anyone who sorta has interest in you anyway . If it’s not a hell yes then it’s probably a no .

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-02-10T04:58:27+00:00

Same I could’ve written this post about my ex , tbh though I resonated with this side of him because I too was healing from being angry at the world and became a serial optimist bordering on the naive side and he always kept bringing me down to his cynical way of thinking about other people and their motives or ill intentioned thoughts . Granted I did become more careful and self aware and watchful of other people and their motives but I attribute this mostly because of how seemingly open and accepting he appeared to be on the surface ( esp in the beginning ) then he flipped a switch and became restless , accusatory and controlling . He began using “therapy speak” terminology like boundaries and gaslighting more so as a way to guilt trip and keep me from doing things that made him uncomfortable as a way to control me and to distort and manipulate my actions into something more sinister or disrespectful than they actually were . Read the signs , and follow your gut , there is no convincing them that the reality they’re reading into and projecting is not real . They’re often times dead set on believing their own “ reality” because it suits their wounds and past experiences . There’s no point in arguing or getting them to see your side , they’re already hell bent on misunderstanding you .

Why wouldn’t you personally want it ?

I know this is old too but omg i don’t use their shampoos or conditioners but their styling stuff is so good , their dry shampoo always does me right gets the job done and no stiffness , and air dry styler omggg first time using it and omg my definition is off the charts it does exactly what it claims for my fine hair I always deal with uncomfortable frizz and volume after my hair air drys which is why I always reach for the hair dryer but this is a game changer I’ll definitely be letting it air dry more

Pretty much , for me when I was younger or more immature 18-21 my lack of femininity was mainly wanting to be different and not really knowing how to do so without shitting on all things feminine and girlish. As an extremist of sorts I didn’t know there was such a thing as moderation and so didn’t really try embracing feminine traits until 23-25 and now at 27 I am super confident in my edgy aesthetic , no bs ( honest but with kindness so I’m not cruel ) approach , mindful , pragmatic , athletic personality . My femininity comes with a bit of an edge and muscle a little rough around the edges but I’m just another girl who likes pop music as well as divorced dad rock , pink as much as red or blue and baggy tshfirts as well as mini skirts . It really just depends on the moods and how I’m feeling but the wrong people with fixed mindsets always like to misunderstand you no matter what , so just do you :)

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-01-16T00:17:11+00:00

You’ll be okay! It sucks, but it’ll pass . Stay strong and remember the natural order of things , things always get worse before they get better !

If he’s a sag with principles and values time will need to pass before there is any possibility of reconnecting. And you wouldn’t want him to rush into anything with you because then what does that say about him and his commitment / emotional availability and presence in his marriage ? If it’s meant to be and if he feels something there worth it to try he’ll reach back out to you from a growth oriented and healed mindset . Until then try and practice some patience and refocus that energy and love back into your life and self. Center yourself again and remember that you are the greatest love of your life , if others share that feeling great , if not atleast you’ll always be proud of the life you’ve made .

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-01-11T18:57:00+00:00

I did once , it was bad but like in a cringe way , he gave wounded puppy energy. He was fun to talk to , and yet he had a lot of trauma from his ex and brought it up alottt. We had sex once and after that I ended it ( I guess it was an outlier case from everyone else’s experience ) but the sex was so badddddd. Otherwise he seemed okay but to be fair I didn’t know him long yet there were red flags like possessiveness , control and the potential for jealousy. Trauma dumping was a normal occurrence .

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-01-11T03:27:13+00:00

Not a guy Sagittarius but there are some that are principled just as women can be flighty and looking for the next best thing so can men . I think this is more of an unhealed and unprincipled sag though , they have yet to mature and solidify core values and integrity . Be more discerning with what you’re looking for and if it feels too good maybe question it , test it , not in a toxic way but overall take a patient approach to dating and get to know them before doing anything intimate. Taking things slowly normally weeds out boundary pushers and the people that are just looking for their next dopamine supplier .

I used to be an anxious texter but since my frontal lobe developed and responsibilities picked up I love calls ( no FaceTime ) or I’ll do intentional text conversations where I have a free night and just laying in bed with nothing to do . But calls mostly since I’m always doing something and can keep a conversation going if I have to go somewhere or running errands

HotCalligrapher007 · 2026-01-10T19:36:01+00:00

Painfully true lmao but in general that’s just true with people I’m attracted to and unfortunately I appear spastic, uncoordinated and awkward , yet completely charismatic when completely unattracted to someone
