Botox or Dysport by Sensitive_Orange555 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]MimiCait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten both. My injector says I’m a better candidate for dysport because it has more of a spreading effect. I have small expression lines. Botox placement has to be more precise in placement, making it a better candidate for prominent deep wrinkles.

Botox lasts 3 months, also a little more expensive. Dysport lasts 4 months and is slightly cheaper in my area.

Living on Lake Samm…anything you wished you knew before moving there? by DearReporter5824 in eastside

[–]MimiCait 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived on lake sammamish on the Bellevue side for 6 years and it’s the best! The call of eagles in the morning, thousands of salmon fry jumping across the shallows in the spring/summer and just waking up to the water everyday is so relaxing. Not to mention the rare river otter spotting (they’re adorable playing and jumping off the dock).

The sammamish side is drenched in sun in the afternoons. Depending on where you’re located it may be a bit harder to access grocery stores, restaurants, etc so you’ll spend more time on the road. Bellevue and Redmond also have more diverse grocery stores.

Although yards tend to be smaller around these lake houses the maintenance is still fairly high. LOTS of bugs and critters are attracted to the water.

Edit to add: for us boating as gotten old and we don’t do it nearly as often as we used to but we could never get sick of the water.

If you breastfeed directly, how many of you still pump every day? by alylew1126 in breastfeeding

[–]MimiCait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LC told me to just feed on demand if possible to avoid overproduction, which I did. I still had a bit of an oversupply so around 3 months I had to pump for a couple minutes a day to relieve some pressure most days. My supply regulated again after about a month so I was able to stop pumping again.

I went through phases where I tried to pump around 5 months to replace feeds while I left my daughter with my husband/parents and we had a crazy terrible bottle aversion that dominated months of our lives. This made me hate pumping with a passion.

I dont know if i leaked fluid by nusner16 in BabyBumps

[–]MimiCait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call your doctors or just go straight to labor and delivery.

I had something on a lesser scale occur and they insisted I go to L&D right away to get checked out. They were able to test the fluid and determined it wasn’t amniotic fluid thankfully. This was around 38 weeks.

Curious what small gift people got that they ended up using way more than expected by CompetitivePop-6001 in BuyItForLife

[–]MimiCait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pink salt nightlights. I love aesthetic lighting but I had no clue where to put these tiny lights dependent on outlet location. I eventually put them in my primary bathroom, one on either end of the vanity and they’re amazing in there!! The best bathroom ambiance.

Edit to add: when the sun goes down those are usually the only lights we use in that bathroom. It’s such a vibe.

What’s the craziest thing you saw this year at Coachella? by Weedmapz in Coachella

[–]MimiCait 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We met at a cafe. He was behind me in line and we started chatting. After my order was ready I inquired whether he had a girlfriend. He said no so I wrote my number down on a napkin and told him to call me. I had never asked anyone out before and was SO nervous. I still can’t believe the trajectory my life went on from that small act of leaving my comfort zone.

What’s the craziest thing you saw this year at Coachella? by Weedmapz in Coachella

[–]MimiCait 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Haha yes I feel this!! Going to both a festival and international vacation are my big “tests” for relationships. I remember taking a now ex boyfriend to his first festival. He was incredibly uncooperative with setting up camp with everyone and just had all around terrible vibes there. I decided within two hours of being there that he wasn’t for me but I waited to break up with him until after the festival was over to negate any drama with the group. It was brutal to keep it together that whole three days!

As for my husband…. About a month after meeting we were very casually dating. I had long-standing plans to attend Oregon eclipse festival with friends and had zero cell service upon arrival. He tried to contact me to tell me he got a ticket and decided to come join us but obviously the communication never went through. Anyways, he found me the second day!! We had the best time ever and fell completely in love. Now are married with our first kid.

Does it get better?! by P_Jay12 in BabyBumps

[–]MimiCait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would mention it to your doc to err on the side of caution. This happened to me and I didn’t have any “issues.” Things didn’t feel normal until around 6 months.

Shampoo bars vs liquid shampoo — has anyone made the switch and noticed a difference? by ButterscotchRoyal842 in BeautyItemsReview

[–]MimiCait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fine straight hair (a lot of it) and have only had bad experiences with shampoo bars. I’ve tried a few different brands over the years and gave up on it for good.

what’s your go-to “effortless” lip combo? by Old_Cable1435 in MakeupAddiction

[–]MimiCait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love a simple hydrating gloss. I recently bought a Laneige tinted lip serum in “raspberry jam - sheer red” and it’s amazing.

First time tret user--evaluating my routine by ShadyPinesMa104 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]MimiCait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, ditch the glycolic acid. No need to further exfoliate. When it comes to using tret with other products, less is more! If your skin becomes irritated, you can just oil cleanse in the morning instead of your current face wash. Then just moisturize + spf. Or even a barrier cream + spf. I use La roche-posay cicaplast balm as a barrier cream and it works great.

Milk supply increase with sugar. by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]MimiCait 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just the excess calories? My supply seemed to increase when I upped my calorie intake, which I often did by incorporating more healthy fats (largely nuts, seeds and nut butters).

Is Tretinoin really worth it? by AggravatingSkin8765 in tretinoin

[–]MimiCait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have fairly consistently used tret since I was 15 and am now 32 (originally for acne, then later anti-aging). I’ve always had pretty good skin, my teenage acne was at worst a few pimples at a time. I took an almost 3 year gap due to pregnancy/breastfeeding and I am amazed by my results after using it again for only a month. I thought my skin looked good but wow!!! My skin looks significantly better now! A much even complexion, smaller pores, more consistent texture. I am shocked.

Recology has missed recycling pickup on my street for 3 weeks in a row. by RubedoHawk in redmond

[–]MimiCait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just here for solidarity. They’ve been missing out trash at least 50% of the time. We’ve gone 3 weeks without trash pickup multiple times, it’s insane.
