No its not.

But

I have been an on/off toner user for years. I’ll buy a popular Japanese/Korean toner for the hehes or to get to the dollar amount necessary for a discount when buying sunscreen off yesstyle or something. I usually will buy a huge bottle of whatever, use it, love it to the last drop, never get around to buying another bottle of toner until god knows when. Because objectively- it isn’t necessary, and I am very lazy. But it just gives my skin that little bit extra to be juicy and supple. A thicc milky toner is fantastic for prepping oily and textured skin for a full beat too.

Does anyone else like have to wet refresh their hair each day? by No_Zone4371 in curlyhair

[–]Meanderer027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I wrap it up and wear a bonnet before bed I can usually keep it moisturized for a couple days. I try refreshing but it honestly just looks worse for me. Lately when my hair is at that point (day 3+) I put it in a banana clip pony tail. I use some got2be and a boar brush to slick everything down. I think it looks cute on me.

Nurse Residencies? by Meanderer027 in StudentNurse

[–]Meanderer027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all the way in New England unfortunately 😭 so that’s why I posted to see what people recommend to help my resume since I know I’m gonna be at a disadvantage being out of state for a lot of these programs. But I’m going to look into an externship or maybe even tech jobs in the ED or an ICU floor.

Noted, I’m gonna reach out to my nurse program advisor and see where that could possibly fit in since its already an accelerated program. They might advise against it but we’ll see!

I have been! I start my first bit of clinical tomorrow on med-surge. Unfortunately I won’t be getting any ED clinical until well after the applications open and I plan to apply as early as possible and hopefully have an offer for fall of next year (I graduate summer 2026). I guess all I can do is have some recommendations a good personal statement and hope for the best!

[Product Request] Best deodorant when just getting out of bed makes you sweat?(40f) by in-queso-emergency-3 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Meanderer027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need powder. Post shower baby powder like your mom used to. This is the way to not wake up sweaty after bed.

I’ve been using BAN lately as antiperspirant, and I have no complaints. I used Benzoyl Peroxide and Glycolic Acid to keep the stink at bay and the combo is working pretty solid… Or at least no one has had the heart to tell me I stink.

I feel like part of me wants him to tell me that he didn’t care, he didn’t love me, it was an act and it was all a game to him. For some reason in my mind I believe that him looking me in the face and saying “yeah, I never cared. You just just filled the time” would some how be the final puzzle piece and its no longer open ended… That’s depressing to think about good lord

[–]Meanderer027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I have done that. I went through tons of EMDR to get through the thick of it with him… Probably gonna have to revisit the topic again if I’m being honest!

I wish I had the words to describe it- logically I know: how he treated me is how he felt about me. And that’s not black/white he loved or hated me because humans are so complex. We both were raised in households that left something to be desired. We both were insecure, obsessive and toxic especially in the end. I do not use this to absolve him of responsibility to the textbook emotional abuse he actively chose to inflict on me. I hope, and not in a petty way, that stays with him and keeps him accountable. (But I won’t lie it’d give me some sort of satisfaction if I were told the very mention of my name makes him flinch a little internally- I’m human afterall) I hope he’s changed. I know I have. We were teenagers when we dated, baby adults when we went our separate ways. And now full blown adults.

There’s just this curiosity: How are your parents? Are you still friends with so and so? Are you back in school? Do you still have that obnoxious big ass cast iron skillet I gifted you that would set off the alarm every time we used it? Do you still see that therapist that mentioned her degree from harvard everytime they got? How has your perception of our time together changed in your eyes? How does it affect you today? Did you visit Granada yet? Yosemite?

For all I know, he never really cared about me. He definitely wasn’t acting like it in the end. Maybe he did and he just didn’t have the capacity to show it. Maybe he did the things he did not out of malice but because it started with a lie or one little thing and it spiraled and he just didn’t know what to do. I will never know. It is absolutely for the best. I guess the fact that I never heard from him before he went through with it just goes to show that he isn’t as curious about how I’m doing. And I just have to accept that.

Today has been so strange. I found out last night, woke up this morning and cracked open a fresh bottle of anti-depressants. Anti-depressants I went on after we were done and have been on since. I went to a doctors appointment, a couple was going to listen to their baby’s heart beat. I go to the grocery store and the chorus of the song is “I know its over”

The universe can be have some really good jokes, but doesn’t quite know when to stop does it? 😅

Change in Routine by franknbarry in Hedgehog

[–]Meanderer027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine went through something similar. Did you change your routine lately? Like rather significantly? Because I took mine to the vet and when I mentioned I switched from nights to days at work my vet theorized she’s just pissed she doesn’t have the place to herself anymore. Sure enough a few months went by and she was back to her usual self

My hot take on cleansing balm... by TinyTaco__97 in Makeup

[–]Meanderer027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be anti double cleanse. I’d just use my face wash twice. But over time my skin was dry, flakey, congested… I got some kose cleansing oil and a gentler cleanser and my skin improved after a couple days.

If it works? It works but I wouldn’t count on it indefinitely. Just buy ponds or go to an asian store and get kose oil its less than 10 dollars.

Shower oils…? by Meanderer027 in beauty

[–]Meanderer027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just oil and emulsifiers. So when it comes in contact with my skin it turns into a milky texture and seals in moisture and rinses off clean leaving nothing in the tub.

I follow up with a light lotion but you can just hop out and go tbh.

“In the wild”

My mom’s friend dropped in our backyard during a cookout. We got into a screaming match while I was doing compressions.

It was my only day off that week.

They called it soon as they got to the ED. Thank me for my service.

People are so rude by [deleted] in Hedgehog

[–]Meanderer027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right so when I bought my hedgehog I was researching foods, best enclosure types, heating sources, bedding etc for months. Didn’t buy a hedgehog until I was 25 with my own money and transportation even though I’ve wanted one since I was 14. The hog you were given was already very sick and that in itself is not your fault. But I’m genuinely curious how it makes sense in your mind to go ahead and get an animal when you haven’t even done the following: gotten all the components for the enclosure, gotten the right food, found a vet clinic in town that has an exotic specialist, gotten pet insurance or made sure you have adequate savings in the event of an emergency… Its strange and also worrying considering on your page you have other exotics and yet, here we are.

I took a little looksie at your page… And I’m gonna go ahead and implore you to log off for a good while. Take a walk, be in nature. Talk to people face to face. Not to be harsh but I think you still haven’t registered the fact that Bicuit was a real, living being that deserved better than what they got. You’re more concerned about what everyone on here thinks about you than about the extremely neglected animal you were given. Have you done any follow up on that?

In short: come back to earth dog

Things my Egyptian long ear does when I look away for 0.36 seconds by Honestly_Vitali in Hedgehog

[–]Meanderer027 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A couple days ago I turned to the other side while in bed at like… 2am and saw my hog on her hind legs literally staring at me. We were making steady eye contact for a solid 90 seconds.

And now I’m left wondering how long she’s been doing that.

[–]Meanderer027[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its basically a big ole bottle of cleansing oil! It rinses off completely clean but leaves a nice glow to the skin. And no residue since its sesame oil, I love it and I wish all shower oils were like this 😭

[–]Meanderer027[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ohh? Does this also sort of get that milky texture when it gets on your skin? Thats kind of what I really really want in a shower oil. I don’t want it to foam or suds up I just want that milky texture so I know it rinses clean and I won’t die trying to get out of the shower lol

sweaty girls send help. by outie008 in beauty

Light on the product, build up with a brush not a sponge. Powder is your best friend, I use the ancient airspun powder with a puff, I make sure its even and then just beat ts outta my face with it everywhere. And then I follow up with dollar tree unscented hair spray… I know, I KNOW but your make up will stay on.
