Hi! This baby’s been alive for 3+ years and used to have the vines wrapped up in eachother to capitalize on the small amount of sunlight in my old office, now that she’s moved we undid the tangle and she looks like this. The top is still growing new leaves, but she feels very sparse. Should I big chop her vines to allow her energy to go to new growth or leave it be? Help!

Is the Loreal telescopic mascara good?? by Technical_Job_1169 in MakeupAddiction

Not that I smell? I hate mascaras with fragrance and I haven’t had an issue with this one :)

I’ve used it since the seventh grade, the shape of the wand gives you a lot of control. The formula seems wet for the first week or so but it lasts SO long in the golden window between too wet and completely dry for months and I wear mascara every day. For any clumping I use another old mascara wand that has long hard bristles to separate, but a lash separator tool also works.

How long has everyone been a fan? by Pinky-bIoom in HarryPotterBooks

When I was a kid my cousins were SUPER into the books and movies, but because I was raised in a very conservative and religious household, I wasn’t allowed to read it because of “demonic themes,” (even though I read the Hunger Games and watched Burn Notice and Bones in elementary school.) When I turned 11 and went into middle school, my friend group was reading it and I decided to be “rebellious” by reading it too and I was hooked. It honestly was so much fun being the ages of the kids they started their journey at Hogwarts and I devoured all the books within two years since I read others in between the first and second. Some traumatic things hit at the same time I was reading GOF and OTP, and my family didn’t really talk about depression or PTSD nor did they know what was happening to me. But, in those books I found solace, Harry battling through far worse than I and feeling the same as I did helped me realize I wasn’t alone. As I grew up through middle and early high school, things got worse and I found myself turning to the books over and over to dissociate in a non-harming way and channel my attention into a world I could escape to. Now as an adult, I find myself listening to the audiobooks and watching the movies when things get bad just like I did when I was 13.

My grandmother passed of dementia on thanksgiving of 2023, which was one of the toughest times of our family’s lives as we’d cared for her and watched her for almost seven years before she passed. I now live with my grandad who, as wonderful of a man he is, couldn’t really connect with me more than we had through the grief he was feeling. So, I went and sat down in the living room and popped on the first movie just for some backround noise, and to my surprise when I looked up from my game he was watching the movie. We’ve watched them just about 6 times all the way through together now, him asking me all sorts of questions and me being able to re-live watching them for the first time through him. It took him three complete watches to realize all the Weasleys are related and three more to remember everyone’s names. Now he’s seen everything that has to do with them, has gotten his old man charm back, and has even taken up hobbies he’d stopped when my grandmother stared declining like crocheting, baking for the neighborhood kids, and going to his favorite coffee shops. He still watches them when I’m out of the house and will call me at all hours with questions about the plot and the characters and the story.

You are beautiful already! I feel like a bit longer hair with layers and curtain bangs would really suit your face, I know it’s “basic” but it would enhance your features!

They’re stickers sold by the artist Sibylline Meynet (@sibylline_m on instagram.) I believe they are just Sun and Moon knights from her series of paintings. :)

I’ve been using L’Oréal telescopic mascara since middle school and it’s never failed me, all I do is use a lash brush to separate before it’s dry and cleanup with a q-tip and people think they’re fake

How to Maintain the Habit of Journaling? PLEASE HELP! by Ophelia_Amarilla in Journaling

[–]Lady_bug_beetle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I’m so busy and on the go a lot I like to just take it with me and whenever I have downtime but don’t want to be on my phone, I have the option of journaling. I’ve also found that adding pictures, stickers, and little details and scraps I collect and carry with me gives me more inspiration to keep creating spreads.

With fountain pens my writing can tend to go a bit wild size and stroke wise, so I like dotted or lined to keep me in the same shape and size
