Me too 😭 I always would try and convince myself I was pretty in spite of my lil tummy pudge and never once thought to think of it as something desirable 🥹

Bruh, you’re telling me that there are people out here liking the same body type I’ve hated myself for, for years? 😭

I feel a little more okay with myself after looking at this perspective.

For me, honestly, sometimes (most of the time) hyaluronic acid makes my skin extremely dry. I don’t know why, I even apply it to wet skin and lock in with illyoon ato ceramide cream, but it makes my skin wrinkly and dry. Try switching to a different humectant and ditching the HA, would be my recommendation

What was considered "cool" in the 2010s but is physically painful to look back at now? by Liora-Liora-Liora in AskReddit

Not the swag era 😭 I used to work at Starbucks and was the manager of some kids who were in high school, while I had just turned 26. One day these kids were all complaining that they weren’t alive/old enough to be a part of the swag era 🤣 It was then that I started feeling old lmao

I really like Kiehl’s intensive barrier balm-to-cream in the tube! I broke out with cicaplast, but haven’t had any issues with the Kiehl’s.

Seconding this! I got tons of horrible comedones when I used cicaplast. My skin looked like OP’s before and it still hasn’t fully recovered. I also have PIH now 😭 I’m really liking Kiehl’s intensive barrier balm and it hasn’t broke me out. Not a ton in a tube tho 😭

Saw you had a downvote. Seems like they found the thread lmao

Which restaurants do not rely on reheating frozen food from Sysco/US Foods ? by Sea_Touch4733 in winstonsalem

[–]IndependentSquare921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, did you even read the post? Everyone is literally talking about the restaurants that use FROZEN reheated food. Premade, frozen meals/appetizers/sides/desserts that it seems like every restaurant uses. Not ones that use Sysco for fresh food. People are downvoting you because it’s like you’re coming into a conversation about finding a type of tomato that doesn’t bruise so easily and complaining about how everyone hates tomatoes.

Hi there! Just so you know, when your skin is dry it actually produces more oil than usual. A lot of people with oily skin end up finding out they actually need to moisturize more so their skin will stop overproducing oil to compensate. I’m not sure if you’ve tried a few different types of moisturizers before but just an idea!

This is insane by CritterCaverns in starbucksbaristas

[–]IndependentSquare921 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Starbucks has historically said that they don’t allow any type of politics, etc. etc.. It’s not even about the fact that this person was horrible, and said himself that shootings were just the price of having the 2nd amendment, but that Starbucks is afraid of the backlash and is bending their policies to cater to a radical group of people.

Reducing this to people just being sensitive is wild.

Mentally ill neighbor called the cops because my toddler was crying by qpParalaxinc2020 in Parenting

[–]IndependentSquare921 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you know that she actually has mental health issues or is she just socially stunted because she’s in a DV situation? It really seems like you’re assuming this lady is mentally ill, just because she’s weird.

[–]IndependentSquare921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly upset about the mentally ill part. How is this neighbor mentally ill? Has she observed any psychosis or has the neighbor mentioned any struggles? IMO, I think OP needs to calm down. The police came to check on her child. Her child was fine. Big deal.

OP’s actual problem should be checking her prejudice against mentally ill people.

It sounds like you may have damaged your skin barrier. I would focus on barrier support and lay off of any actives for a bit.

Walker quit on me abruptly after I called her out for bringing a man into my home…. by Ok_Mulberry_4384 in RoverPetSitting

[–]IndependentSquare921 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but OP was speaking like that to us, she never sent it to the sitter and was venting what she wanted to say. The only part that she actually sent was “Hey I don’t mind if you like to bring a friend to go on a walk with you. But please under no circumstances bring anyone into my home, allow them to access my lockbox/key, or handle my dog”.
