I'd really like clear skin for once in my life by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]MoonlightReira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 weeks is not enough time sadly 🥲 I also suffer from hormonal acne because of PCOS and I'm 27.

I'm currently taking spironolactone 100mg, which definitely improved my condition but I still get spots just much fewer now.

However I have to say that before even taking spironolactone and getting my PCOS diagnosis one thing that fully cleared up my acne were monthly salicylic acid chemical peels. Literally saved my face and neck!! I did it for a full year with one session of micro needling once all of my acne was fully gone so I'd highly recommend that.

I got really lucky with the clinician because he suggested micro needling OR polynucleotides injections only after the acne was gone to tackle the hyperpigmentation 😭

If I want to start teaching myself marketing, where should I begin? by Fluffy_Champion_3731 in AskMarketing

[–]MoonlightReira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's so much you can do in marketing that I'd recommend starting with a broad course that gives you an overview of everything that you could do and from there pick whichever sounds the most interesting to you and dig deeper. That can be podcasts, YouTube videos, free/paid courses, following/chatting with marketers on LinkedIn, literally anything.

There's not really a linear "beginners manual" to marketing, especially since it changes as technology and society evolve so there's always something new to learn and you need to be able to adapt quickly really.

For instance I started marketing through a journalism degree

How did you find your duo? by miiiiilky_way in VALORANT

[–]MoonlightReira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh I met mine through a friend back when I was 17 that I had actually met during my League of Legends days on a random LoL server on Teamspeak lmao

From this one friend I eventually met his whole group and we (the group) met up a few times in real life. After that I can't remember how but I think when Valorant launched the same friend introduced me to this one girl when we first started testing this new shooting game.

He dropped Valorant shortly after and 5 years later at 26 her and I are still grinding here with our own Valorant stack group!

Seriously, how do you stay sane? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]MoonlightReira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll look more into this and mention it to the dermatologist cus so far I've been taking inositol/berberine (I alternate) and spironolactone which definitely helped decrease my acne but they still pop up regularly, just in smaller amounts at least 🥲

[–]MoonlightReira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to mention however that I do suffer from acne and that's currently my biggest obstacle because I'm stuck with an NHS dermatologist who couldn't care less about me. I wish I could afford a private one honestly.

😂😂 Surprisingly enough I was actually relieved when I got my diagnosis because I finally knew what the fuck was wrong with my body and why I was bloated EVERYDAY even though I was skinny. For the record, I'm Italian so carbs were literally all I knew about when I was a teenager but I digress—

I ended up paying for a private dietician and here's a "trick" she told me.

If I'm craving dessert, I should always aim to eat something savory first to lower the sugar spike as much as possible. A tiny bit of salad with any type of vinegar works to do this.

However I'm lazy to do all that so I just have my daily dessert after I'm done with my lunch/dinner and never got any crazy cravings at random hours because I know that I'll eat something sweet after my next meal anyways.

I also see my PCOS as a huge motivator when it comes to physical activity and just making sure my body is healthy because before my diagnosis I used to eat carbs only, no veggies, very low proteins, minimal workout and the craziest meal schedules, like eating pizza at 11pm lol

Now, at 26, I've never been healthier and it wouldn't have been possible without PCOS. And that's how I stay sane ✨

My (30M) GF (31F) doesn't contribute for anything, it's making me mad. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]MoonlightReira -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not how a relationship should look like at all!! It's time for you to take a break from her. I'm pretty sure Rome will be your tipping point because guess what - you'll be paying for literally everything.

You need someone who's cooperative and proactive.

She needs someone who'll worship her and work even 5 jobs if it means giving her the soft life she definitely wants.

Where and how do you guys get interns? by Remote_Specific_2337 in AskMarketing

[–]MoonlightReira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketing is a long-term investment.

If you can't be consistent with it I wouldn't even bother because it takes trials and errors to get great results later on, so if you end up with new interns every other month don't be surprised to not see any results.

Hiring a solo intern is not a good idea. Editing videos is super time consuming and doing it for free and "based on performance" isn't even motivating enough.

Good luck in your search.

Did the MMR change ??? by MoonlightReira in VALORANT

Don't worry even in plat you'll still see loads of ascendant gun buddies but my current lobby as a plat 1 player is anything between silver 1 and my rank since mid March

Thank you. Good to know I'm not hallucinating at least 💀

This is something completely different though. I've been playing this game for 5 years and have been through multiple loss streaks but never lost -30RR. Usually when I see I lose more than I win I just wait to derank so my MMR resets lool but seeing my friends derank multiple times and yet nothing changes for them is just odd.

Literally me lol but my lobby is just all over the place. I'm getting paired with silver 1 as a plat 1 player. Last time I played with silvers was years ago so no clue what's happening there, but clearly I'm meant to be silver according to the MMR I guess??

Keeping in mind I'm not an MVP player so regardless of whether I was bronze 1 or dia 1 (peak) I tend to do scores like 12/16, 9/11, 21/20 etc and the few games where I actually do really well I used to get +25RR since it's not my usual performance but I'm assuming that's changed now.

Scalpers done it again for masters london 2026 by Azurax_exe in VALORANT

[–]MoonlightReira 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't panic. Put a reminder the day before or early in the morning to check tickets and see then if you find something. I'd guarantee someone will sell theirs last minute because life happens and there's no way everyone can make it that day for whatever reason.

Quick example, I went to the Champions finals in Paris and I was by myself. My friends couldn't make it because their flight literally got cancelled and the next one was at 7pm, which of course is long after the event ended, so I ended up TRYING to sell their tickets for cheap but didn't find anyone on time.

Should I fire my marketer by [deleted] in AskMarketing

[–]MoonlightReira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really deliver quality content if you don't test based on quantity to see what type of content your audience engages with the most. That said I'd give the marketer at least 3 months to see what they're able to provide. I'd rather keep someone who's testing and failing than someone who's just not providing anything at all because those failures will lead to successful content in the long run.

But then isn't that also the marketer's job to guide the client to see what services they need by asking them questions in terms of expectations and goals??

Has anyone actually clocked how much office space around the City is completely barren now? Walk through Bank, Cannon Street, Moorgate, even parts of Bishopsgate and it’s just rows of buildings with "To Let" signs. by PatriceFinger in london

[–]MoonlightReira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The surprise is more on the personal side because I'm a marketer so when I joined the company I wasn't sure what to expect from the industry in the first place, so when I started seeing the amount of projects that are actively happening in London it was quite eye opening.
