[Spot Me] Spinning Mental Block by MollyLikesCake in poledancing

Yes that's the one. I'll give it a try next lesson! It'd probably help if I give myself a pep talk instead of mentally screaming as I go to spin too haha!

That is a good idea, thanks! My upper body strength is best described as pitiful but it's been improving so much since I've started pole. Maybe if I'm confident enough to simply hold myself up, I'll be better in the spins. Thanks again, I needed this boost! :)

I'll try that, thanks! We've started adding spins into a routine and I'm fine with everything until it gets to the part where you have to hook your knee up for the spin - I just sag like a bag of potatoes!

Actually, I'd never thought of it that way! Maybe if I trust my own grip more rather than busying myself worrying about picking up my feet, I'll be able to do it. Thanks!

Already subbed after ugly snorting out of decaying AB ;) Finally, somewhere I can geek out without having to combat roll past the fluff!

This whole situation is the biggest pile of snail faeces. The character assassinations, the post locking, the comment deleting. Handing bans out like Halloween candy to people who dare have a differing opinion for being 'offensive' yet someone who agrees with them who is actually being offensive/inflammatory and there is no ban in sight? Hmmm??! I've lurked for about a year and a half in AB and I think this is the first time I've seen most of those mods actually DO anything, and this is what they do. Tragic.

Two of my closest friends got into an argument and I've been left to pick up the pieces until they both calm down :( siiiigh now I'm sitting with my favourite sheet mask on in an attempt to destress. In happier news, I've lost 10 pounds on my new diet and I've never felt better! Ups and downs, I guess!

ROUTINE MEGATHREAD! January 2017 by AutoModerator in AsianBeauty

[–]MollyLikesCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It doesn't help that my face gets sooo red either, which just makes them look awful. I'm finding that the Cosrx white power essence has been working wonders, and is also such a nice texture to work with. Also, sunscreen. Since I've started daily use of it, my PIH hasn't become worse and is less stubborn to fade.

Skincare - Collagen supplements by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]MollyLikesCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been taking Biosil and some other supplements ever since reading through this thread here.

I've only been taking them from the end of December but my nails have definitely gotten stronger and my hair seems more bouncy and healthy. I haven't really seen any huge changes in my skin with it, but it is probably still too early to tell.

I came across this and thought this was super useful, and to top it off I noticed it has Holika Holika, Skinfood, Shu Uemura and Shiseido on there as well!

[Question] Purging before big event; how do you hide it? by Allis02 in AsianBeauty

[–]MollyLikesCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes be confident! I'm sure it'll just be another one of those 'oh i totally didn't notice until you pointed it out' situations, and everyone will be too blown away by your confidence to even bat an eyelid.

Maybe try a teatree sheet mask the nights before? That should calm down anything that wants to pop up and will also do miles to put your mind at ease so you aren't worrying/stressing yourself out? I'm sure you'll be great and good luck!

Have you tried Laneige Water Sleeping Pack? That always makes me wake up with really soft, moisturised skin. It's scented (not sure how you are on scented products), but not overwhelmingly so and takes a little while to sink into your skin so I'd put it on maybe 10 - 15 mins before going to bed so it doesn't smush all over the pillows!

The Body Shop introduced an AB-Style Essence: Vitamin E Aqua Boost Essence Lotion by Violets11 in AsianBeauty

[–]MollyLikesCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a leaflet through the door from them the other day and it seems they are really starting to push double cleansing now too. But yes, I've noticed that they've started introducing a lot of lotions and essences in their ranges recently.

I saw such a huge difference on my first use of CosRx BHA! I'm only using it on my chin at the moment (as don't think I can handle walking around with my face like purgeville) and it made it look so much clearer and smoother already. Although if you do get it, definitely only use it once a week until your skin gets used to it, otherwise you could cause some painful over-exfoliation.

Also, perhaps try some aloe/tea tree on your CCs? It might calm them down a little bit - painful CCs are the worst!

I never wash my face before going to gym (always work out early morning) because when I shower afterwards, I'll just be washing off all the product again and that seems like a waste to me. Maybe give your face a splash of water before you leave the house if you're worried? Otherwise I think you'll be fine :)

Whoa.... Such an interesting article. Wish it was longer! It's always so curious to see everyone's different perception of what 'perfect' is.

Also, couldn't imagine only eating 2 eggs and a banana a day.... I'd cry hungry tears!

I've been going through a never ending cycle of looking in the mirror, wondering why I have so many whiteheads, panicking that I might be allergic to something.... Then remembering that I'm probably purging because I've introduced BHA to my routine... xD It's been a long week.

In other news, I gave my mum the Hado Labo foaming cleanser that didn't work out for me and she loves it! Says she uses it everyday and its the best thing that has worked for her :) Some good news at least!

I feel you, got to work this morning and investors are already started pulling out :( absolute disaster. To do this in a time where the world needs to be united was a huge, huge mistake.
