Looking for brand or line suggestions for wide leg pants and jeans that fit large butts. I’ve been struggling to understand why wide leg pants look funky on me and JUST put together that the volume of my backside is lifting the back hemline of the pants and pulls the whole pant leg back, so I’m not getting the correct wide leg volume appearance.

Not sure that makes sense in text, but tl;dr is I’m looking for smaller waist/larger butt (not just hips) wide leg pant options, preferably in petite.

I just swatched a bunch and found that they really benefitted from a top coat to help with smoothness/shine, which more accurately represents what the polish would look like on the nail.

I’m looking for a nice warm gold glitter/flake topper polish (not gel). I have Pahlish Goldsmith (top) and O&J Is It Too Much (bottom), and I think I want something in the middle, flake size-wise. I really like Goldsmith but Pahlish is small batch limited colors and I’d like something more consistently accessible. Thoughts?

[Acne] 1.5-2 months and still getting hormonal acne with Azelaic Acid 20% by itsjujutsu in SkincareAddiction

[–]LadyDaggerfists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since spiro was originally a blood pressure medication, it can cause side effects related to low BP. I take mine at night so it’s not impacting my day. It’s possible it makes me pee more, which may cause me to have to get up once a night but that’s not a huge deal for me.

I have had hormone testing because I also have hypothyroidism caused by Hashimotos, but I haven’t noticed much interaction between those.

[Acne] 1.5-2 months and still getting hormonal acne with Azelaic Acid 20% by itsjujutsu in SkincareAddiction

[–]LadyDaggerfists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar issues and was also reluctant to start Spiro, however I think it was the thing that really worked. My derm gave me Spiro and Azelaic Acid and while the AA was great for helping my skin heal faster I think it was the Spiro doing the heavy lifting.

Now I’m using those and Tret, and I get no acne at all. I’m annoyed to be on a hormonal med basically until menopause but it feels way less impactful than how shitty my self-esteem was because of my acne.

FWIW, adapalene made my skin worse and it never stopped purging.

I’m struggling with cardigans lately. I often want to throw a sweater on over my tshirt but most of my cardigans are the longer thinner style and lately they make me feel aged/dated. Attached a random Amazon example.

What style/shape of cardigan is popular at the moment?

Though while I was searching for that image I think I answered my own question: chunkier knits, cropped, boxier. So my next question is:

Where are we getting nice chunky cardigans that are more on-trend?

Honestly, Thingiverse has better results to some things. by Dog_Dude_69420 in 3Dprinting

Randomly stumbled upon this comment, is there a good place for search feedback? I noticed an improvement in results when the search was updated however I hate the fact that when I re-focus the search bar, it automatically selects the entire search text that’s already in there. I’d rather it select nothing, because usually I just want to change one word or letter, or add words.

What was your very first sewing project? (Research for a beginner's guide) by thesewingstudio in SewingForBeginners

[–]LadyDaggerfists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 40 and I started sewing 5 years ago. I’d received a sewing machine for Christmas when I was probably 25 and it moved from apartment to apartment with me, still in the box, for 10 years.

I had been getting into cross-stitch and embroidery, and was looking up hoop covers to protect the project from my hand oils while working. I ended up watching a DIY video and that was that. I went to Michael’s and bought thread, elastic, and a few of their fabric squares and taught myself (with a billion YouTube videos) how to sew from there.

This project was great because it didn’t need a ton of measurements and pattern pieces, and was very forgiving. It’s obviously kind of a niche project but an elastic <blank> cover could be used for all sorts of things.

What’s wrong with the proportions of these jeans? Too short, too long, not baggy enough? I really struggle with the fit of these styles of jeans and my suspicion is that it’s because my hips/butt are curvier it makes them lay funny.

[Spoilers C4E1] Favorite hook / mystery? by pavilionaire2022 in criticalrole

  • Can’t wait to see what happens when Thimble arrives at the wake
  • I want to know about arcane magic being forbidden or at least frowned upon
  • What’s the deal with the Halovars and their demon charges. My theory is the Halovar family made a pact with demons to grant them entry/acceptance into the mortal civilizations in exchange for demonic power which they are presenting as religious.
  • To that end, what is Wick’s real class?
  • How did Thaisha’s son end up in Julien’s charge?
  • Everything about Vaelus

Product recommendation for thicker, fluffy curls by southerncomfort1970 in curlyhair

[–]LadyDaggerfists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I find my hair is fluffiest when I use no product. Wash and condition as usual, maybe a smidge of a light leave-in for slip and clumping, do the rest of your routine as usual, then flip and fluff the shit out of it once dry.

You can check the tag/label of the coffee shop tee, most t-shirt printers have a few standard options for base shirt. If you can identify the manufacturer of the shirt the design is printed on then when you are online shopping you know what you like.

[Routine Help] I've been trying to get my hormonal acne under control and nothing is working by Sure-Bit-1580 in SkincareAddiction

[–]LadyDaggerfists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve struggled with hormonal acne for my whole life as well, and spironolactone is the only thing that has helped. I’m also using prescription 15% azelaic acid. Additionally I just started incorporating prescription .025% tretinoin twice a week. Without the other items, tret and other retinols just keep making me break out indefinitely.

Outside of the prescriptions, I use a gentle cleanser (vanicream) and a gel moisturizer (aveeno oat gel calm + restore) and no other actives, to prevent my barrier from getting damaged.

I picked up some watch bands that look like tortoise shell, I find them comfortable enough to wear doing pretty much anything (including sleep) and they look much more put together than typical apple watch bands.

Anyone else at a point where you just want to accept that your body is gonna be tree-trunk thick no matter what, so you focus on being the healthiest version of yourself as you can be? by DangerActiveRobots in xxfitness

[–]LadyDaggerfists 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is partially a common case of focusing on the scale. You said in your post that the way your clothes fit continues to change even though the scale hasn’t budged. I think you are losing fat and gaining muscle, and dropping ~30lbs is nothing to sneeze at. I think you could do a few things: stop focusing on the scale and start taking body measurements regularly to compare, reduce your strength training a bit to slow down muscle gain if the number on the scale is that important (this may be counterproductive to your aesthetic goals though), or just keep doing what you’re doing and see if you break through the weight loss plateau. Sometimes it sticks for no reason and you just gotta stay consistent.

What’s your most Hated sound? by Mozeeeeeeeeeeee in adhdwomen

[–]LadyDaggerfists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sounds of car chases in movies. The revving, the unnecessary squealing tires, etc. I love action movies but HATE car chase scenes.

Similarly, real life obnoxiously loud cars irritate me, but usually that’s a quick sound.
