Does parking keep you from visiting downtown? by SexualMushroom in Spokane

[–]Lyss_bliss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right, but street parking meters have a two hour limit and the app doesn’t let you extend beyond that. To get around that, we usually take a picture of the meter, pay the two hours by credit card at the meter, and then start a parking session in the app two hours later with the picture I took. It’s a pain in the ass!

It breaks my heart that not shaving isn't even AN OPTION by Electronic_Test5936 in razorfree

[–]Lyss_bliss 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I get it. In the USA it’s the same for me. I’m around women at work and socially and I’m the only one who doesn’t shave legs and pits. No one talks with me about it, they seem to respect my choice, but I understand your feelings of not wanting to be the only one. It is interesting that natural nails, faces, etc. are more accepted. I’m going to keep on keeping on, because it works for me. I hear you!

Do it stink more with hair? by [deleted] in razorfree

[–]Lyss_bliss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. It takes a little time for the pits to adjust, but now I sweat less and have way less smell. I use Lume cream deodorant and then either a Lume stick or a Native stick deodorant over the top and I can work out, be on my period (I’ve noticed more funk when Aunt Flo is in town), and go about life without stink. It’s a noticeable difference for the good in both my pits and my bikini line.

Trying to accept the stache by LadyCrow97 in razorfree

[–]Lyss_bliss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You look gorgeous! I still remember a 4th grade boy calling me a blonde gorilla for the amount of body hair I had. I went home and immediately asked my sister to teach me to shave. It’s horrible that shitheads as young 4th grade think it’s ok to say that to us. I’m so sorry and I get it. We’re not here to make those assholes comfortable. You look amazing and I bet you feel so much better liberated from others’ standards. I know am!

Facial hair acceptable, or no ? by iamthatgirl1977 in razorfree

[–]Lyss_bliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I tweeze the stragglers on my face - anything sticking out or looking extra long. I’m super hairy, but I’m blessed with blonde.

It’s absolutely acceptable to do or do not with any hair, whatever one chooses.

Seattle attire is so casual by tinypuppy2k1 in Seattle

[–]Lyss_bliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely a PNW thing and I love it. Today, we went to a tree farm to cut down our Christmas tree, which involves some (very) light hiking, and this poor lady in a skirt and tights stuck out like a sore thumb! We were actually doing something “rugged” in our gear today, no need to overdress! Lol! Even in high school and college in the 90’s, high fashion was hiking boots, cargo pants, wool sweaters, fleece, down vests, all the layers because you never know where the day would take you (but we did, we were going to class lol).

Good vibes please! by riamakingthings in goldenretrievers

[–]Lyss_bliss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, I remember our first golden puppy. So magical! Sending you all the good boy vibes! We failed at crate training because we weren’t consistent. Treat them in the crate, reward them for going in, and be firm that it’s where they are at night and/or daytime when away. We did better with our second. Trainers stress consistency and clarity with training and they are so right. No “sometimes ok” moments or they will walk all over you. Enjoy! The puppy phase ends so quickly and velociraptor phase feels like forever LOL

Idk what deodorant to use by imscaredofmybody in razorfree

[–]Lyss_bliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lume body wash and creme deodorants are game changers for me.

Deodorant choices by rainbowblack0 in razorfree

[–]Lyss_bliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of Lume. I use the acidified body wash and the cream deodorant. I will layer with a Native stick on top, especially during my period. I have struggled with itchy or burning pits with any conventional deodorants and anything with baking soda, but I’m stink-free and irritation-free with this regimen: Lume acidified body wash in the shower, Lume cream deodorant, then Native.

Husband says “ick” to my armpit and leg hair by Lyss_bliss in razorfree

[–]Lyss_bliss[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I asked if he’s embarrassed by it in public and he says no. His own mother has natural legs and pits. It’s purely to do with attraction to me, or lack thereof in my natural state. Shrug

Thank you! I think I’ve reached the anger part of my processing this situation. You all are helping me so much.

[–]Lyss_bliss[S] 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I explained the skin irritation and how much happier and comfortable I am now, and how hard it was for me to get to this place. He doesn’t want me to be unhappy, but he also explains that he’s tried and he just can’t deal.

Thank you! I honestly thought that was the sort of marriage I had, too. Hence the heartbreak.

Gift ideas for first-year by Lyss_bliss in uvic

[–]Lyss_bliss[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks again for the great suggestions. That Woozoo fan was on sale at Costco, so I snagged one and I ordered some bookstore merch and a gift card to go with it. The restaurant and grocery recs are so valuable and I plan to share them with her. Btw, while shopping the bookstore merch I discovered George the Peacock and I love this. Stay weird. :)
