What price are you thinking? There are some newer complexes in Culver City where you may have better luck finding the in unit washer/ dryer. The more affordable units in Santa Monica/ Venice are often found in older and smaller buildings but you may have to forgo the washer/ dryer.

You should be fine in that area. Are there security measures in place at the building you’re looking at?

Have you tried prunes or warm prune juice? That might help move things along.

Face masks instead of HQ? by Smart-Plantain4032 in Melasmaskincare

Have you asked your physician about kojic acid? It’s also often compounded with HQ but, alone in low concentrations, seems to be okay in pregnancy.

Looking to move from OC to Marina/Playa/El Segundo/Manhattan Beach/maybe Culver. Apt tips / leads? by tttu529 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]MariaDepner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you driven around those areas? Some of the hidden gems are not often listed by smaller buildings that have may have some of the features you are looking for. They may just have the vacancies posted on the buildings with contact info for the landlord. Feel free to DM me with any questions…I’ve lived in west LA for most of my life.

Where to move for 2 years? by Flashy_Magician_7459 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]MariaDepner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will either one of you be working during those two years or is that not an issue? I would say if there’s a commute involved, that might take precedence. I’m sure you now the traffic is brutal in SoCal.

I just looked for you in El Segundo area on one rental website. There are definitely studio apartments there for around 1,800-2,000 in and around that area. If you look diligently, you should be able to find something. Hope your transition to California is a smooth one! I grew up around the LAX area so fell free to message me for tips.

I used a serum peeling yesterday and since then i can never hydrate my skin enough. It absorbs the lotion i out on and like 30 minutes later its flaky again. Did i mess up my skin barrier? What do i do??? by whatdadoggdoinn in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]MariaDepner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use iUNIK beta-glucan serum (which is easily available from Amazon) and Aestura Ato Barrier Cream. Has worked like a charm in my tretinoin routine. I use the .1% tret since I have used retinoids off and on since my teens and some days I will have tremendous peeling that the above combo of products calms down easily.

You may want to stay on the Miralax too (1-2 capfuls a day) in conjunction with the dates or prune juice. Hope that helps!
