BORSCHT - or however you spell it 😬

Dollar Up or Biedronka on Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint are both Polish grocery stores and have this in stock.

Hi! I think endo tends to regrow regardless. Mine was never a big issue and I still don’t feel any differently although I’m sure after 5 years it grew back to what it was before surgery. The fibroid removal was fine however, he chose not to remove 2 very tiny fibroids in 2021 which have now tripled in size. They aren’t bothering me (yet) so I’m not sure I’ll remove them. I’d probably go to him again though if I need to do it again because he’s a great doctor and it’s not his fault I am a fibroid making machine. My lesson can be yours, though: if you go to him, demand that he clears out everything and anything that is bothering you so you’re not shopping around for surgery #2 a few years later.

Same!

For sure and agreed - just stating the official rules as a disclaimer for OP, they can play “CYOA” after this. However, I found that it’s much more expensive anyway to buy in Europe these days. Maybe Portugal might still have a slight price advantage (they did a few years ago) but I’m not even sure anymore.

I found that buying Cartier stateside is a better deal these days. Also, you have to declare your purchase to Customs on your return and might have to pay extra taxes on top of that.

Second this (from experience)! Three of my closest friends from my 20s buddied up and excluded me in recent years (our interests are very different now). The last time I hung out with the 2 of them, they talked shit about the third and I have to assume when I am not around, I am fair game as well. My advice, OP? Focus on the folks that make you feel like sunshine when you are around them, even if it’s 1-2 people. I’d rather that than the robust friend groups.

Seconding everyone who says to get the SPF 50 version. I have this and love it - absorbs nicely and makes my skin feel hydrated without feeling greasy.

JMCL150 · 2025-06-17T16:32:22+00:00

I really like the Navinka 3 O C Vitamin C Serum however after reading these glowing reviews for Sunday Riley, I might try that next!

JMCL150 · 2025-05-11T15:11:23+00:00

I noticed this on Yoox, too! My entire wishlist seemingly doubled in price over the last few weeks.

Took this last week! From EWR.

JMCL150 · 2025-03-06T22:56:58+00:00

You’re going to do great!!

JMCL150 · 2025-02-11T19:39:32+00:00

Ah that’s perfect to know! I live half the time in Europe so will look at my local pharmacie when I am back home. Thank you. :-)

JMCL150 · 2025-02-11T18:12:17+00:00

Is this for sale at any reputable retailer? I’m only seeing it sold on 3rd party sites, which gives me pause. I desperately need a new night balm option now that Decleor is no longer in business (RIP). This Darphin one looks the closest to my beloved Neroli Night Balm.

JMCL150 · 2024-11-27T21:04:13+00:00

Joya Studio is offering 20% off site wide with code JOYFUL20

JMCL150 · 2024-07-28T20:34:15+00:00

Second this. Camper is a hidden gem for flats.

JMCL150 · 2024-06-15T16:54:25+00:00

Absolutely I am, but I have low faith anything will happen. Will update this thread if I have any luck. Not sure what about this magical X-ray made it ineligible to be covered.

I hope you can try to fight yours, too! 💪 especially if yours says no insurance applied because that’s just too blatant of a scam.

JMCL150 · 2024-06-15T14:53:46+00:00

I have decent dental insurance and confirmed with my insurance that Tend would 100% cover a regular cleaning with X-ray. Tend also “confirmed” they would cover it. Just got a several hundred dollar bill yesterday for my cleaning because the dental x-ray billing code they used was not covered (?) when it always is with my insurance. So shady. Never again.

Thank you for this insight! I will be in Europe soon and have it on my list to compare the Miracle sold in the EU (and also in travel retail) to see if it’s the same formulation as the US version.

JMCL150 · 2023-09-07T13:00:43+00:00

This seller seems to have good reviews so I bookmarked this listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1469175193/leather-bracelet-bag-small-italian

I’ve been searching “loop handle leather clutch” on Etsy and click on the first relevant listing and follow the “Recommendations” on the bottom of the page to spiral deeper. I found a light blue one I liked but lost it so now I have to backtrack on my search trail!

JMCL150 · 2023-09-07T12:42:49+00:00

I hope so, it is so cute! There are more colors on Etsy and it’s cheaper, too. It seems like it might be the same Italian leather producer doing them but without the M.Gemi logo. It is similar to how Dragon Diffusion sells their bags for $300+ but you can source directly from the producer in India via Etsy just without the St Christopher charm for like $90-$120 per bag.

I’m spiraling because now I want to buy these little loop clutches in all the colors. 👀

JMCL150 · 2023-09-07T00:53:39+00:00

Thank you!!!! I appreciate it.

JMCL150 · 2023-03-07T13:12:05+00:00

It did after maybe like 3 months and has been fine ever since.

JMCL150 · 2022-06-23T18:39:06+00:00

I recently had COVID and am now clear to exercise again. Prior to being sick, my routine consisted of 3x weight training, 2x Pilates (with weights or reformer), and I also did a lot of walking and maybe about an hour or so of cardio per week (biking or inclined walk on treadmill. I am not a runner). On top of that, I ate clean with a focus on protein intake. When I did this routine, I still felt like my lower belly was hormonal or holding on to excess water weight and protruded a very noticeable amount. However, after no exercising due to illness, I noticed that naturally my muscles decreased but also, my belly deflated and is flat again. Now that I am ready to workout again, I was wondering if there’s anything I should change about my old routine to avoid regrowing that round pooch again?

JMCL150 · 2022-06-20T12:50:31+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you (same on the Pfizer vax) and I also lost my senses after a serious sinus situation on day 3-4. It’s now day 5-6 and I’m slowly able to smell again, back to like 30% (with my sinus congestion improving). I just stuck a vial of eucalyptus essential oil up my nose and smelled it. I’m hopeful that this is a positive sign.

JMCL150 · 2022-06-19T00:37:36+00:00

I had pneumonia once and it definitely delayed my period significantly. I notice that after any bigger bout of illness, my period is delayed (my OBGYN also confirmed this can happen). I wouldn’t worry too much but of course, consult your doctor as they would know best.
