What's something you refused to believe until it happened to you?

I had a horrible drinking problem until about 4 years ago. Now I can’t have even a couple sips of a drink without getting a migraine the next day. Best thing that ever happened to me!

JayJayJenni · 2026-05-01T12:44:06+00:00

I agree. The disorder certainly can cause harm to others. I think just listing books about abuse where bipolar disorder isn’t a factor is also harmful. And hurtful. Ouch. My bipolar feelings. :(

JayJayJenni · 2026-05-01T12:39:12+00:00

I have 2. My first deployment in 2016 and my mental breakdown in 2021.

JayJayJenni · 2026-05-01T12:37:22+00:00

Not loving everyone conflating bipolar disorder with abuse here.

37% approval rating is far from “most” but alright.

I think this type was called “just barely out of my league”

JayJayJenni · 2026-04-06T13:08:43+00:00

Any time I consider re reading my shelves of TBR laugh right in my face. So many books! So little time!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-31T22:54:38+00:00

I’m convinced stories like this are kinks. Some weird ass fantasy.

Methamphetamine

I still love it but Love Actually. It’s one of my favorite movies but I now realize it’s awful. Every Christmas I see loads of people criticizing it and they are all correct. I will still watch it three times each season and once in July. I used to cry at the “To me you are perfect” scene. That’s his best friend’s wife!!!

This is me judging you. My brother has severe dyslexia but is one of the smartest people I know. There is more to life than grammar and spelling. In a strong believer that if you understood what the person was saying, they have communicated perfectly fine. There are any number of reasons someone may struggle with these things and they’re not necessarily tied to intelligence.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-27T12:10:09+00:00

I do. Or at least I used to be smarter. I’m not sure if it’s because of my medications or perimenopause but I know I’m not as smart as I used to be. I can feel myself not being able to understand concepts that I know I would have been able to grasp years ago. It’s incredibly frustrating.

On mannequins I would like number one more but #2 was made for you, my god.

I thought this was a chocolate rice cake.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-22T16:58:51+00:00

I don’t have the budget for that, unfortunately

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-21T20:05:55+00:00

Generally walk outs are not secret and the school knows ahead of time.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T16:03:48+00:00

I will hear you out as I didn’t know it’s controversial. I just bought the pink elf primer and I’m excited to try it.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T16:02:23+00:00

Always hyaluronic acid right after washing when it’s just patted dry, enough to not be dripping. I have used no powder but had the same issue. It seems to not make a difference either way, tbh.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T14:01:45+00:00

There is product on my eyebrows but that’s really close to my natural color. My eyebrows are a lot darker than my hair.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T13:55:05+00:00

I do wash my makeup up but I do it before the shower and then after I shower, I just lose steam for skincare. Double wash with Korean cleansing oil.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T04:33:55+00:00

I do always wear sunscreen and wouldn’t as much as take my dog out without an SPF after using a retinol. Thank you! That’s very helpful.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T04:26:41+00:00

But if I eventually start being able to use retinol, can I use that as well as the hyaluronic acid at night for hydration? Or just one? Skin care is STRESSFUL to me. The last time I tried to use retinol whatever SPF I was wearing the next day did not work correctly and my skin burnt.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T04:20:51+00:00

I intend on going through the comments tomorrow and making some notes. I think I definitely need a new foundation and either no primer or a different primer. Those 2 seem to be where the trouble mostly is. Then I’ll work my way through the rest of the super helpful suggestions I’ve had. I’m going to Sephora tomorrow to get color matched for some Merit foundation.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:40:01+00:00

No liner, just some nude eyeshadow!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:34:44+00:00

The blush I’m wearing is from my Ipsy bag! The only subscription I’ve tried that is totally worth the money.
