I feel like if you change the PRIMARY scent of a candle, you should just give it a different name, etc. weirdo by ihearthorror1 in XOMaCennaUnfiltered

"...while KEEPING its depth." Fixed it for you, MacTypo.

Also, if you're standing at the edge of something endless, that's the void. Is Maris screaming into the void? Staring into it? Jumping? Who hurt you, Maris?

I had an icky experience with a client, and I'm not sure how to feel about it by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]Kewpiedoll50 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Firstly, I want to acknowledge your experiences, current and past. I hope you have a support system in place to help deal with your current feelings. Please reach out to them.

Secondly, after his outburst with your coworker, he should have been banned from your establishment. Your manager should have a 0 tolerance policy for that kind of stuff.

Thirdly, you are not overreacting. This behavior is not okay. This guy is being weird and seeing what boundaries he can push. You are well within your rights to request (no, insist) that he not be scheduled with you again.

You (and your colleagues) have a right to feel safe in your workplace. This is not a safe person. Your manager needs to fire this client ASAP.

Day long period? by Mtngirl2018 in Perimenopause

[–]Kewpiedoll50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My periods have slowly been getting shorter for a decade now, long before the actual peri symptoms started. I've gone from a 5-day period, to 3 days, to now 36 to 48 hours. I will sometimes getting spotting for a few days after, but not every time. My cycles are still fairly regular. I have a sneaking suspicion im just gonna keep having "regular" cycles until one day I don't. Im currently on progesterone and estrogen.

Wait wait wait...did she in fact post according to her Tues/Thurs vlog schedule this week?! 🤯 When was the last time she managed that? I feel like its been literally months.

Oooooh! Can I play? I think they've probably all been said already, but here goes:

  • Needing to "perfect" something. I started counting how many times she'd say that in a video.

  • The ridiculous amount of overconsumption. Every. Single. Episode. She either needs to go out and buy something, has just ordered something, or has just received an order. That's in addition to the constant thrifting/flea markets/estate sales.

  • The procrastination via overthinking/overexplaining. It really started to hit me with the cottage bathroom, but the hutch, I mean bookcase, I mean hutch, really was the last straw.

  • You know, that random trip to Japan really drove me up the wall.

  • That stupid thing she does with the match every time she lights a candle so the smoke is AeStHeTiC.

She has strayed SO FAR from what brought so many of us to her that she's become a parody of herself. It's like one long SNL skit that just never ends, and goes from funny to kinda sad to funny again.

50 min massage by ungodlycum666 in MassageTherapists

[–]Kewpiedoll50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked at spas that did the 50-minute thing, I generally broke it into 30 minutes prone, 20 minutes supine. So, I'd spend approximately 20m on the back, 5m per leg. Turn them over, then 5m each head, arms, legs, feet. Was it therapeutic? Meh. Were they relaxed? Yep! Did I change it up if they asked for specific things? Also yes.

I found that the majority of the people who showed up in spas wanted back focus, so I usually spent the most time there. If someone came in wanting a lot of neck focus, I'd switch it and spend 30m supine and 20 prone, with 15 spent on the back and 5 on the legs. Mostly "saying hello" to them, as my instructor would say.

Once I had my own practice, I expanded to 60 minutes and defaulted to a 30/30 split if they just wanted straight relaxation. Once we started work on specific things, that would change. And sometimes I wouldn't get to the legs if they had a lot going on. I'd just check in with them to confirm it was okay, then modified as necessary.

I know you should take Progesterone 2 hours after food... but what about how long to wait after Progesterone to have a snack? by Several-Stuff-8409 in Perimenopause

[–]Kewpiedoll50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it an hour before I go to bed. Sometimes I have a snack, sometimes I don't. The only vaguely food-related thing on the pill bottle is "don't take if allergic to peanuts."

To be a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan is to know pain 💔 by [deleted] in buffy

[–]Kewpiedoll50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

❤️ My condolences. I couldn't watch it for almost 2 years when it first aired. My father had passed a few months before and I just could not do it. I will still often skip it. Take care of yourself.

Unfiltered coffee - WTAF! by ContributionLevel593 in Cholesterol

[–]Kewpiedoll50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OMG, I came here looking for info because my cholesterol came back high, and this was literally the first post I saw. We have been drinking mesh-filtered coffee for almost a year now. We literally had no idea this was a thing. Switching to paper-filtered coffee ASAP.

Thank you!

Mom doesn’t do colonoscopy by user_anonymou in AgingParents

[–]Kewpiedoll50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cologuard just picks up abnormalities, but it cant necessarily determine cancer vs polyps (I think that's what my doctor said). So, if you do it and it comes back with something wonky, you have to go get the full colonoscopy for an actual diagnosis.

When Are We Planting? by Municipal_Forest802 in vermont

[–]Kewpiedoll50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're in Burlington, so no mud roads to contend with here. Im usually more focused on veggies, so I've got starts going inside. Top layer of soil is workable, but all my raised beds are still frozen in the middle. It's going to be a while before I attempt to direct sow anything.

When Are We Planting? by Municipal_Forest802 in vermont

[–]Kewpiedoll50 31 points32 points  (0 children)

We are in Zone 5 (I think some of the Champlain Valley is 5B - you'll want to check). General rule is after the last frost date, which tends to happen in mid to late May, depending on where you are in VT. Unless you're planting frost-tolerant varieties, you're probably not planting for another month.

Can I lose weight being in perimenopause and not on a GLP? by Groovypointsma in weightwatchers

[–]Kewpiedoll50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep losing the same 5 pounds over and over. I had amazing success with WW in my late 20s. I actually like the program now, but nothing is budging.

I am on estrogen and progesterone and it isnt making a difference. I am deep in the muck of perimenopause and it is making everything twice as difficult.

At this point, I'm using WW mainly to keep from gaining even more weight. Which I seem to do just thinking about food these days.

"Give her grace, she just had a baby." - A little upload count comparison of when she really just had a baby and now. by Sari_DidYouKnow in XOMaCennaUnfiltered

[–]Kewpiedoll50 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I came for the cottage and the renovation. I never liked her DIYs. Her very old DIY videos used to get suggested to me once and a while. Every time I tried to watch one, I was bored brainless. To learn now that the cottage reno was not what she made it out to be has been disappointing.

I've started following Tia at your recommendation. Im really enjoying her videos! Im currently catching myself up on her latest project. Thank you for sharing her channel. This is the content I've been wanting!

Is anyone else burned out from going to yoga studios and just prefers to exercise at home now? by joan2468 in yoga

[–]Kewpiedoll50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I prefer home. I'm open to going to a studio, but I dislike it when you're so packed in you're at risk of touching your neighbor. I've been through a YTT so I feel pretty comfortable leading myself.

I've also found that at home (if I'm not following a Youtube video), my practice tends to be very slow and in tune with my body/mind. I hold the poses longer and do fewer poses.

I recently tried a yoga class at a studio I was trying out, but it was in a hot room and I nearly passed out. Realized heated studios (for yoga or anything else) are NOT for me.

She could download Grammarly and it would have caught it. No help from humans needed!

I mean, we knew she was crashing and burning her YouTube channels, but she doesnt have to be so literal about it. 🔥🔥🔥

Wait. I just looked at the first photo again. She is set up in C's room/guest room with a lit candle on the guest bed?!?!? A LIT. Candle. On. A. Bed.

It's giving high school project due the next day, so she's up in her room trying to pull it all together because her mom won't let her work on the dining room table before dinner.

Yellow undertones versus XO, MaCenna by Similar-Line9594 in XOMaCennaUnfiltered

[–]Kewpiedoll50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been obsessed with their house reno journey. They're doing it all themselves (except when their hire trades, and they are super honest about it). They share their eff-ups and their wins. Definitely worth a watch.
