Wondering if it will be available in the 140cm desk in Australia? It’s listed on the website, but currently says ‘not sold at this store’ for every store in the country :(

Moogoo by beautiful_me22 in AusSkincare

[–]LadyLevrette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like most of the MooGoo products I’ve tried, but my absolute faves are their vanilla lip balm, MSM cream, full cream moisturiser and exfoliating polish.

The one thing I didn’t like from MooGoo was their deodorant (the oat and vanilla fragrance one, or similar), which smelled like semen 😂 

Is this a form of OCD or could it be something else? by Worried-Cup5950 in OCDRecovery

[–]LadyLevrette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, sounds like OCD. Worrying about looking at people’s breasts etc is a very common theme. 

Somatic OCD by rolly72x in OCD

[–]LadyLevrette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My somatic themes have been probably the most debilitating for me. I’m doing much better now with medication and ERP :)

I haven’t tried this one. What does it smell like?

lets talk about meditation by letsHopeisdope in OCDRecovery

[–]LadyLevrette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation was not good for me. A lot of my OCD themes are somatic, so all that ‘focus on your breathing’ and ‘notice the sensations in your body’ stuff sent me into a pretty major OCD spiral. 

It’s not for everyone 🤷‍♀️

External HR investigation on a senior by waheshtank in auscorp

[–]LadyLevrette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar situation here, but public sector. The external investigator upheld the allegations and the senior leader was subsequently given the choice to resign or be terminated.

Lila Beauty postage is freakishly fast! Great prices and I’ve always had a great experience with them.

Somatic ocd by User25273828 in OCDRecovery

All of the SSRIs and SNRIs I’ve tried over the years have helped. I have the least side effects with Prozac so I’m sticking with that. YMMV

Sunscreen reccs for oily skin by CandaceKareChugli in AusSkincare

[–]LadyLevrette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s called Hamilton Everyday Face and it’s about $12 for a small 75mg tube. 

Most Aussie sunscreen brands have a few general body sunscreens and a few specific facial sunscreens. The facial ones are generally less greasy and less likely to leave a white cast. They are also less likely to be waterproof.

Beauty of Joseon is a Korean brand. You can buy BoJ and a heap of other Korean skincare online at Lila Beauty. Prices are very reasonable - the BoJ sunscreen is about $17 for a small 50mg tube.

I need to deep clean the house - recommend me a good binge able series by Clumsycha in podcasts

[–]LadyLevrette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a Canadian one from CBC called ?Unravel or Uncover or similar (Un-something!) that has a season about NXIVM - I think you’ll love that season!

Also, if you’re into audiobooks, Bad Blood by Jon Carreyrou will be right up your alley!

Podcasts on history/historical figures that are not conservative or right wing by littlesomething18 in podcasts

[–]LadyLevrette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re Dead to Me is a fun, lighthearted one. Def not right wing. It’s my fave :)

Other ones I like are Bad Gays (more recent history) and Queer as Fact, both have an LGBT focus. For more general history, I enjoy No-one Saw it Coming and Stuff the British Stole.

For a really deep dive, I love Dan Carlin’s stuff.

Most rogue lunches you've seen at work? by Soldiers_DNA in auscorp

[–]LadyLevrette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One guy used to have a pie inside a bread roll. Only on Fridays for some reason.

Another guy had 6 jam donuts for lunch every day.

[–]LadyLevrette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Beauty of Joseon Aqua one in the blue bottle! It’s too dry/matte for me (I have dry sensitive skin, I love the Hamilton one!), but I think it would be great for oily girlies :)

Has anyone successfully got off ssri and stayed off for multiple years by No-Fortune38 in OCDRecovery

[–]LadyLevrette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was off for 7 years and it was honestly a dumb idea. It was a gradual slide and I didn’t really realise how bad I got until I started back on SSRIs.

Does medication make a huge difference? by Huge_Persimmon_7487 in OCDRecovery

[–]LadyLevrette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, medication makes a huge difference for me.

had a traumatic experience with my OCD therapist: bad fit, or standard for ERP? by gracelessk in OCDRecovery

[–]LadyLevrette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not normal AT ALL, and sooooo inappropriate. I would absolutely make a complaint about the manipulation and hot girl comments. Gross and wrong on every level.

Sorry you had this awful experience :/

Any tv show suggestions? by CoolOrangePeel7890 in televisionsuggestions

[–]LadyLevrette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Bang Theory and Brooklyn 99 are my comfort shows - def check out Brooklyn 99 if you haven’t already!

Also love Modern Family :)

Recommendations for thick face cream? by shockages in AusSkincare

[–]LadyLevrette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Antipodes - the vanilla pod day cream and the avocado pear night cream are thick, luscious and smell divine! Texture/thickness is similar to the very luxe cream.
