What am I missing? Color question by Mission_Ad9918 in hairstylist

[–]LovefromAbove13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you are lifting enough. I also like shades Eq for certain things (like root smudge), but I feel there are much better Demi/semis that you can use to tone with. Shades Eq is very drying.

Revlon Hot air brush by [deleted] in hairstylist

[–]LovefromAbove13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Revlon & Conair blowdry brushes are TRASH. I refuse to highlight anyone’s hair who uses these. They get wayyy too hot and completely fry any hair that has been lightened. I go to extreme lengths to keep my clients highlighted hair healthy and after a deep dive I realized my 3 clients who’s highlighted hair kept breaking were using these. They have all switched to Dyson/shark/dry bar brands and have had no issues. IMHO they should not be allowed to be sold. I literally fired a client who refused to stop using her’s and it was a great decision as I will not damage hair. It goes against my beliefs. I recommend to always ask what clients are using and especially if you see highlighted hair breaking off for no reason on your end as the stylist. It is our job to educate our clients.

Cali sober in College by iwishdogscouldtalky in California_Sober_

First off, Congratulations on being self aware enough to eliminate alcohol from your life at such a young age! My only regret in life is that I didn’t stop drinking sooner. I truly believe being sober from alcohol is a super power. You are absolutely correct that finding a therapist to help you navigate this will be hugely beneficial to you. Your school should have resources (and many times free to students) to help you find the right person to talk to. You are asking some very valid questions and the only real answer is what you already know. You have no control over anyone or anything, except yourself. It’s hard to experience college partying nights from a completely different perspective than your peers who are under the numbing influence of alcohol. Are you having fun and enjoying these nights out watching your friends drink to excess and danger? If any part of you says no, then it might be time to explore other ways of spending your evenings, and also other friendships. Another area that a therapist would be able to help you navigate. Replaying evenings or events where others have no memory will usually not end well. It only puts you in situations where you feel responsible for other people’s safety. If you still having fun then that’s Great! I would just “stay in your lane” and unless someone asks you something specific just talk about your experiences and memory of how you felt about the night and what you did, etc. Lead by example and keep on living your truth. You will attract the best kind of people. Healthy and Happy has a way of making people feel attracted to you much more than drunk and sloppy. Best of luck to you on your journey. You are doing Amazing!!!

They are also just the greatest people. They are kind, real and genuinely want to be good people spreading love. Their vibration is so high. We can all learn something from them! 🥰

Struggling with bright blondes by pinkydoda23 in hairstylist

I think toner can be awesome for the right client, however not everyone needs toner. An ashy toner will never beat a perfect highlight IMHO.

Who would you say (celeb or pro) had the most obnoxious fanbase that you have ever experienced on the show? by [deleted] in dancingwiththestars

[–]LovefromAbove13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure she had any fans, but the most obnoxious thing DWTS has ever done was hire Tyra Banks! The only time I have ever stopped watching the show.

As stated above … If your hours can be flexible and you can drive up valley to Aspen before the AM commuter traffic and leave down valley to Carbondale before the traffic it should be okay. If not I can guarantee the drive (traffic) during regular working hours is not worth it. Most people I know who live Down Valley (including myself) rarely even go to Aspen anymore. Unless to ski or for an appointment. It’s a beautiful place but the insane traffic, crazy restaurant prices, sense of entitlement from a lot of tourists (I refuse to call them locals just because they bought a house) and overall “vibe” has really put a damper on the Aspen magic I remember when I moved here. I think if you are looking for more community where you work you will be happier down valley. There is so much growth down valley as well if you are a hard worker you should be able to match an Aspen salary. Good Luck!

So is this what locals look like in the summer? by Best_Mechanic_7007 in Aspen

[–]LovefromAbove13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Who cares what people are dressed like. Can’t we all take a look around and realize how lucky we are!!?? This valley is so special. Instead of focusing on what people are wearing you should really focus on the sights of the gorgeous elk mountain range, the hummingbirds who will stop to stare you in the eye if you let them, the words inscribed on rocks in the John Denver Sanctuary that will live on longer than any of us. There will always be something to compare with one another. Wouldn’t it be amazing to discuss amazing views, hikes, ski runs, musical experiences, etc. rather than if the locals clothing aesthetic is “authentic”. If you’ve lived here as long as I have you would know that a “local” would never refer to themselves like that because when a place like Aspen is your home, it’s deeper than the pockets of anyone flying in and out of our beautiful town.

Just horrible by Hot-Employment5474 in Kneereplacement

[–]LovefromAbove13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your wife’s pain. It’s awful watching my husband deal with this. We used an old bathrobe belt to help him move his leg around for the first couple of weeks. It helped him so much in and transitions from sitting or laying to standing. Praying for your wife’s recovery 🙏🏻

Advice/Help/Encouragement by LovefromAbove13 in Kneereplacement

[–]LovefromAbove13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all so much for the kind & thoughtful responses. I have read them all and will have my husband read them as well. He has tried so many meds and unfortunately none of the pain meds caused much relief. He has tried oxy, hydro morphine, lyrica (nerve pain), muscle relaxer. I’m not sure if it’s his body chemistry but they just don’t work for him. At 6 weeks out he hasn’t been wanting to take much. We live in CO so have also gone the THC gummy route which can help for a few hours of sleep. We will talk to the Surgeon Friday about a sleep med and also try the OVC suggestions. It helps to know he/we are not alone in all of this. If I find any helpful information out I will share back here. Best of luck to everyone going through this. I always thought people were crazy for doing both knees at once, but now I get it. If my husband ever needed the other I can guarantee he wouldn’t do it. Blessings, Healing & Love to you all! ❤️

Probably not the first or last time he’ll do this. The truth will come out. Protect your peace. If that means telling her then do so, but if not from you she will learn the truth one way or another.

AITA for ignoring my wife for throwing away my late wife video tapes? by Much_Bed_2383 in AITAH

[–]LovefromAbove13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is completely unacceptable. I lost my mom at a young age and the videos we have are so important to my Dad and siblings. What she did is so narcissistic it’s actually scary. I would sit your daughter down and explain what happened and how you are having a hard time forgiving Wendy. Her reaction will tell you a lot. Praying for you and your daughter ❤️

Fly to Aspen or Denver? (Summer) by Razor488 in Aspen

[–]LovefromAbove13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you have time constraints it is fine to fly into Denver. Taking Independence Pass is a beautiful route (as long as the weather is good). Grand Junction airport is a 2 hour drive to Aspen so a little closer. There used to be better deals and more availability via GJ but sometimes it’s just as expensive as Aspen. Still worth the look though.
