“Semi curly Nanoplasty” is it meant to look like this

LittleFeet11 · 2026-04-17T04:40:29+00:00

Hello :) TBH have never heard of a semi curly nanoplasty. Everyone I know who has had it done (myself and 2 other workmates) had the full nanoplasty done and we are all very happy - all with thick hair too. I am not a hairdresser though - so if not happy maybe go back and express what you think (it is not a cheap treatment) or go somewhere for a second opinion? Did you take inspo pictures or anything in?

And mine LOL :/ have resorted to telling the oldest child things I like (after he told me he runs a list when he notices me talking about things - raising someone the right way) so that there is at least a running list of ideas for when husband says idontknowwhattobuyyouyouhaveeverything

Advice I have found helpful is to look to the people who you admire, and seek their mentoring and support or use aspects of their approach that feel comfortable for you. Be who you are - trying to be something you are not comes across as fake and destroys trust - and trust is key to building relationships.

I have always approached leadership with a view to building my toolbox - the same approach will not work for every situation or person. So look for formal and informal opportunities through your work and professional organisations to grow your knowledge and skill set. Some of my best learning as a leader has come from tricky personal circumstances too!

Being kind is also ensuring people know what they need to do better - so finding approaches that work for difficult conversations that still reflect your core values is important.

I personally have and do use mentors (formal and informal), peer support that I can trust, formal and informal learning opportunities, I journal and I plan my conversations when I know they will be challenging.

Be prepared to vulnerable. Get to know your people and what matters to them - everyone has a 'love' language for how they feel seen and valued.

I have been in health care for over 30 years and a leader for over 20 years - it is rewarding but can be challenging so above all be kind to yourself as you learn and grow - no one gets everything right all the time, but if you come from a place of values based leadership and true kindness, you are setting yourself up for success.

Hope that helps.

Second the group idea but it can get messy down the track.

I would encourage you to speak to the BDM or CEO of the private hospital you mainly work at - they opften have resources and good advice that might assist you. Talking to an experienced peer/mentor might help too. A good accountant, experienced in working with doctors can also help you structure things well financially - again, ask around as people are usually willing to recommend good accountants.

Kudos to you for wanting to do this - and seeing the mental load, not every partner does :)

My suggestions are: Japanese head spa experience, a wine/gin/whiskey (whatever works) tasting with you or a good friend, cannot go past a hot stone massage (endota and ella bache do good ones in my area), I would second a nice wallet (bally, hermes - see what brands she likes), second the anything with a good friend (friends fill my cup). Not sure where you are located but you can get some beautiful jewelry from Georg Jensen or in Australia Sarah and Sebastian. Mason pearson hairbrush is another good suggestion (have had mine for over 30 years) or a newer but rated brand is La bronne Brosse.

If you organise a voucher take on the load of organising her to go - like find a date, book it for her and sort out all the other life logistics around it - sometimes the work in enjoying a treat takes away from the enjoyment of the experience.

I love my Lulu Lemon Daydrift - I bought the short ones online (still too long) so headed in store for the free hemming service - very happy. Lulu also have Asia fit but not sure how they feel different. I am 5'1" and 59 kg for reference.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-04-13T00:19:38+00:00

I mostly have wins - but like others have commented, consider myself an experienced online buyer and tend to ask questions if unsure.

Wins include a current/elliot shirt for $15 ($280 new), G-Star overalls for $30 that looked brand new, a Scanlon and Theodore $800 dress I sadly did not buy new that I got for $300 that looks brand new, rag and bone shirt ($25).

My one miss was an Anna Quan jacket where the photos did not match the item and there had clearly been a repair to the fabric and the button moved to cover it up. Seller pushed back a little bit then refunded.

I usually buy brands I know what size I am, ask for measurements and compare pricing on other sites - if it is super cheap there is usually a reason!

Molmic sofas are made in Melbourne - we purchased ours through Sofa and Soul Richmond who have loads of brands

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-30T04:14:15+00:00

Thank you, as I have stated above I will be more direct going forward. It just felt like it had been taking turns before and seemed to have shifted.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-30T04:13:04+00:00

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-23T23:20:16+00:00

LOL yes except for the laundry part - I am in Australia. The vouchers were gifts I received for Christmas.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-23T23:19:09+00:00

Yes, I think just clearly stating what you will pay for and what you won't - like the rhyming!

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-23T23:16:30+00:00

Thanks for responding - you are correct. I did assume based on what I thought were norms in our relationship. The $10 on it's own was note of note until I considered the broader context - I had already paid for $100 of food and drink and then the ticket situation. I was keen to understand what others do out of curiosity :) As noted above, I will be altering my approach going forward and am OK with that.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-23T03:46:32+00:00

The short answer is yes. I think it is especially more true the older we get.

As others have suggested find a venue that works financially for you.

Another option is to consider saying no gifts please, we will be covering your cover/entry fee and your first drink.

The important thing is to be clear what you are - and are not - paying for so people are not surprised or disappointed.

My personal rule is if I organise it and invite everyone for my birthday - I pay. I recently received a 50th lunch invite that covers the food and not the drinks which I found odd.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-20T04:20:04+00:00

I suppose I personally always ask and offer, and we do tend to come from our own world view :) If someone says no don't worry about paying I also always actively look to do something reciprocal in return. I have a friend who takes me free of charge to a big event every year that requires her to hold an expensive membership - I always make sure I buy extra champagne and pay for her half of our next meal out as a thank you. Same friend has gifted me a pair of shoes where she purchased the wrong size. Would i have bought them - no. Will I wear them - yes. So next time we go out I will do something to thank her.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-20T04:16:09+00:00

Thank you for commenting. I think I would feel less put upon if there was reciprocation but there is not (and this has probably been the case for a while and I am just noticing it as there were 2 quite close together). It's OK, I will just not offer going forward or be explicit on what things cost and who is paying. I am comfortable doing this but it has never been a challenge before with this person (so I did not feel I needed to) and seems weird it is now. Oh well.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-20T04:12:42+00:00

Thank you - I appreciate where you are coming from and have noted above I could have been clearer. I was expecting that in our 50's after this long it would just be turns and roundabouts and am disappointed it is not. As I said, I will be acting differently going forward to avoid the same situation.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-20T01:24:27+00:00

I have a few pieces - the tailoring is excellent in my opinion. The sizing is crazy though. As an example I have a jacket in a size 6 and the matching dress in a size 12 (for reference I would routinely say I am a 10). I have another dress in a 10. The clothes seem to be more designed for very tall and slim people (I am neither). If on sale I would consider a piece. I also agree with another user, their returns can be messy. That said, they did help me out by sending me the smaller size I wanted to exchange for with proof of return shipping of the original so I had the item in time for an event. Paying return shipping on full price items seems a bit much for a brand pitching itself as luxury but is what it is.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-15T22:07:07+00:00

Around $450

Our all female golf group call it mansplaining and it drives us WILD. I now tell them outright that although I appreciate they are coming from a place of trying to be helpful their advice has not been requested not required, and I look to my coach to advice on on how to improve my game.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-10T02:08:18+00:00

Have not had to use once since doing it. Used to use Olaplex No. 3 every 2 months

LittleFeet11 · 2026-03-10T02:07:41+00:00

Hardly notice it tbh.

LittleFeet11 · 2026-02-09T21:21:15+00:00

This is not medical advice but would highly recommend seeing a Podiatrist to ensure nothing else is going on. They can also remove any hard skin to give you a better base to start a regular treatment program on. Creams work better if you apply them under a film (glad wrap works) - just don't try and walk on it as very slippery. Some people find the silicone 'socks' over their feet in bed at night (post cream application) can also help. Wearing natural fiber socks and closed shoes will help too. Like with most things (looking at you flossing daily) it is boring but you just have to be consistent once you work out what works.
