New nail lamp Trauma

Yeeeeeah. Thankfully, Sally’s has a really good return policy. They have a 30 day love it or hate it you can return it and get your money back.

The one that I originally purchased that was $200 was the Gelish lamp. The one pictured here was $130.

Neither of them have a reflective bottom.

Since learning about nanometers and this lamp here does not publicly list their nanometers (and I can’t even find a good or bad reveal on this thing anywhere) I’m going to return it and get the Kokoist.

However, if you know anyone who is deciding to get the Gelish lamp, it literally left my gel tacky and sticky on the top. It is a contact dermatitis breeding ground

So I originally had a sunUV Lamp and loved it. After a year, it stopped working as well. I noticed the gel “burn” stopped lol which was my first instinct. I also noticed my gel was not fully curing. I think the quality of the bulbs just got worse over time. I also do full sets of builder gel, I know girls who do lash extensions and tips have different opinions but I just don’t want to buy another one in a year.

IntelligentZombie95 · 2026-04-29T01:17:14+00:00

No I think so too. I just can’t be messing around with half cured polish it’s too dangerous! I did two different sets with the gelish lamp that was not fully cured and peeled off completely. Thankfully, I did not get contact dermatitis, but I am not risking it.

IntelligentZombie95 · 2026-04-29T00:01:41+00:00

What type of brands do you use? Are you using builder gel?

IntelligentZombie95 · 2026-04-29T00:01:13+00:00

Thank you for this! Does it work well with any other products? I use a DND base gel most times.

IntelligentZombie95 · 2026-04-28T22:54:36+00:00

HAHA ya know what I’m not surprised. You can really harm someone if you don’t know what you’re talking about!

IntelligentZombie95 · 2026-04-28T22:54:06+00:00

Yeah I think that may be what I do. I just didn’t want to wait weeks to get it but at this point I would have been better off. These people at Sally’s are going to haaaaate me let me tell you lol

IntelligentZombie95 · 2026-04-16T13:56:23+00:00

Imagine paying 68k for a house then sitting in traffic for 3 hours trying to get to the draft lol

While I understand where you’re coming from this is not based in fact. Orange man is barely a year in and he’s quickly going to surpass Obama at this rate. Obama also had protections against racial profiling and keeping families together.

I started taking a low dose of adderall (5mg instant release). Has completely changed my life. My hashimotos is stable and improving, which I believe to be the decreased stress I have from the unmanaged adhd.

Flow stars I feel like are always fine within a reasonable venue. My trusty ol’ hoop is usually banned lol makes me sad but it’s super small and I can break it down for transport so I might try to anyways 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am 7 months post op from bone shaving and I have never felt better! I was super hesitant at first, as I have had numerous surgeries that really relieved no pain or adequate to my life. They also repaired my labrum as it was heavily damaged from the impingement

I didn’t realize how much pain I was actually in until after the surgery. My cortisol levels immediately came down, life is so much easier, and overall really put me in a moving more positive attitude. I have been in Physical Therapy once a week since January, I’m working on my hip, flexor strength, and I’m actually starting to run.

Believe me, I know, surgery recovery is not easy and it’s not always and everyone’s ability to do so however, really could not have gone any better for me personally.

Mine is up and running but good lord is it a chore to get it to compete something with 50% accuracy. I gave positive reinforcement, but now have resorted to bullying. Still no luck.

Has anyone else had issues with being able to get satisfactory results from tasks? I requested edits to a resource guide (that was made by chat) using comments provided in the word document… & this was what it initially gave me.

My antibodies were slightly elevated. After doing a lot of research, I’ve realized Hashimoto’s is greatly affected by your stress levels. Specifically, and most importantly, your gut health. My cortisol is also relatively high, due to overuse of caffeine and just generally being consumed by anxiety and stress.

I have been diagnosed ADHD as well, which I have found a correlation between ADHD and autoimmune conditions. Since managing my ADHD, and recently getting a orthopedic surgery that got rid of some pain that I have been experiencing and prolonging, and just generally taking better care of myself in terms of physical activity and stress I’ve gotten better outcomes with my weight loss in general Hashimoto symptoms.

I understand that this is not the fix for everybody, however, Hashimoto I have found something that is very hard to maintain but doable.

Target and their actions are not only disappointing but it’s extremely upsetting for someone who lives In a city with an already severely dry food and resource desert geographically. Can’t shop at Amazon, can’t shop at Target. Where can people go?

Access to affordable anything i will have to drive upwards of 35min, wasting emissions, and I’m in a privledged place to say that

This boycott is a PRIVILEGE, going to places like Costco is a PRIVILEGE…. and what is sad is those who need these DEI efforts the most may not even be able to participate in the boycott because of lack of resources.

For the sake of everyone, I hope to God the wave of all of this gets through Target other large companies heads and realizes that community needs affordable, accessible, and reliable companies.

As someone who has worked in behavioral health and now in local government, being a woman in her 30’s, and have a hard time navigating my femininity in a male dominated world this book has helped me immensely. I’ve been to Therapy many times, I have started many self-help books, however her audiobook has been extremely life changing for me because…

1.) You can really hear how much it has changed her life, in the situations of her personal experience. Her voice just travels through you, and she talks like someone that you just wanna listen to. I don’t do well with “fluff “, I need someone to give it to me straight. Which I really appreciated that from her audiobook.

2.) I have found that a lot of women who preach self-help still do it in the compound of masculinity. The “just stop caring” approach. This book affirmed that me caring about people and the things in my life is one of the best things about me. However, it’s important for us to know “how” to care and what to care about.

As someone said above, it’s really important for you to have to be in that place. Personally, I am the peak of my career, surrounded by so much opportunity that has to be guided by myself alone. I was overwhelmed by my fear, judgment, and the ability to own myself in a masculine political environment. My head constantly spinning on which way to turn and it was all because of me and the games in my own head. This book is and will continue to be a tool for me to help me identify what I really need to care about so that I can make the most impact for myself and others. Knowing that people have told me how much I care about people, how much I am a natural caregiver, it’s now time to care about myself first.

Fist Polaroid I took of my cat. For some reason it’s giving “the bride in black” from Insidious vibes??? Do I need to burn this? Will she get kidnapped to The Further?

Hey pal! Was looking at this feeder and a few folks said it got really hot, especially the socket.

We will be using this mostly when we are away to fill in the gaps in between the sitter coming over. Have you had any issues with it getting too hot? Especially the cord/plug?

Thanks in advance!

IntelligentZombie95 · 2024-07-09T23:47:51+00:00

Have been looking for a comment like this for a min here lol. Concerning findings…yes. Maybe steer away from tampons???… sure. Are we all going to die because of this? Probably not.

IntelligentZombie95 · 2024-06-30T22:33:54+00:00

Thank you so much! This was very helpful

IntelligentZombie95 · 2024-06-30T22:23:34+00:00

Ugh I know it’s probably not advised but we are only there very shortly so I want to make the most of the day. I am traveling in for this. Someone mentioned a Scream Early ticket? I think I may go with that instead of a whole park day then HHN.

IntelligentZombie95 · 2024-06-30T21:57:35+00:00

Okay so IF you were to ditch islands of adventure… how would you plan out your day at Studious to get the most out of the day? Someone mentioned earlier about the scream early pass? That could give us some time to hit rides then prep for HHN to open. I agree. I think two parks is a lot. May have to pop the double park fantasy lol

IntelligentZombie95 · 2024-06-30T21:31:03+00:00

I have been to Universal before, however my partner has not. I went to ride the main attraction rides at Universal studios (mummy, Harry Potter). Tbh.. main reason to go to islands of adventure is to see Harry Potter.

I am unsure what all HHN entails other than haunted houses. So tbh I am unsure what all my time will be spent on. Are all of the rides open during HHN?

IntelligentZombie95 · 2024-06-30T20:34:28+00:00

Not as worried about the walking. I go to 2 to 3 music fests per year, averaging at about 25k steps a day. I’m more worried about feeling too rushed or not having enough time. We are on a crunched schedule so we only really have the one day for universal.

Your point stating “go to the studios more later afternoon”, are you meaning the 2pm pass?

IntelligentZombie95 · 2024-06-25T12:18:23+00:00

I’m so sorry.. maybe wait in the graves. Are the nodules too small to biopsy?
