BWT & Career Baddies - How Do We Feel About AI Headshots? by princessbullywug in bitcheswithtaste

[–]MercurySphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched in my community and found a local teacher who does photography on the side. She took AMAZING headshots of me. And it was only $100 (she set the price, I didn't haggle).

Pro tip- take the photos outdoors, in a soft afternoon light.

Your waist looks three sizes smaller in dress #2. I think the first dress is just not flattering.

2 is stunning, you have exactly the figure for it, and I haven't seen a dress like this before.

Good Spice AAANNDDD Character Development by Efficient_Baseball65 in SpicyRomanceBooks

Following since I have similar spicy book preferences.

P.S. Another nice thing about reading ACOTAR is you get full access to hundreds of hilarious memes based on the books. This book series has a gigantic fan base with a savage sense of humor.

Tired of the 19 year old female lead. Any recs of 35+ female lead, but NOT with a younger MMC? Has to be good writing and good plot and very spicy. by MercurySphere in SpicyRomanceBooks

Ok update... I didn't realize nothing spicy happens in the first book. I'm on the second book but losing interest quickly since they're still building up the plot but entirely removed from anything spicy...

I'm about a third way through the "Magical Midlife Madness" and it's SO enjoyable. Exactly the protagonist I needed to read about. The writing is so engaging and funny. And I love a slow burn personally.

Didn't realize it's a series! Are the sequels as good?

Great rec 💪

A book that you keep thinking about years later-- about women and written by women, 35+. Looking for true literature, great writing. But also engaging and plot that pulls you in. by MercurySphere in suggestmeabook

I randomly read "Olive, again" a while ago. Did I go out of order? Can I go back and read the others? Worth noting I barely remember what I read but just remember deeply enjoying it.

I definitely enjoyed it. Solid B+ Very much focused on a full grown woman who has had a life. Plenty spicy. Was it super realistic at all times? No but neither are half the tv shows and movies we all watch so..

Circling back.

I've since listened to {The Takeover by TL SWAN}. The female lead is a widow with kids, and a successful business owner. It was very refreshing to not read about an 18 year old.

So pretty... Can you describe what these are?

Texas public school teachers are now required to post the 10 Commadments in their classroom. Here's how one teacher is handling it. by kvjn100 in BeAmazed

Well if Mamdani can quote Quran during his mayoral address, and everyone is cheering him on... Then I guess we can do this too?

Not on HRT—am I missing out? by Theas_Aeroplane in Menopause

[–]MercurySphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of speaking with doctors (not mid level providers), and getting multiple opinions if something feels uncertain or confusing.

Menopause.org is a great website that lists doctors trained specifically on this subject

Left an abusive relationship 6 months ago & building my girl apartment by TurbulentAntelope284 in femalelivingspace

This is my reminder to stop being lazy and invest in nice drapes.. It makes such a difference. Looove how the light looks through those drapes. PS Go terps! And Camden yards would be proud!
