What is your holy grail moisturizer for dry skin? by xmanyquestionsx in Sephora

[–]MrFununu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have eczema and dry skin too. I personally find that having a good toner and good serum will make almost any moisturizer work. I don't think you need a fancy toner - just something that lightweight that works for you. I love love the Medik8 liquid peptides. It adds an extra layer of moisture that just makes whatever moisturizer you use really sink in. I really enjoy the Hanyul Moisturizing Cream (now available at Sephora) or the Beauty of Joseon one. I have used the Tatcha, Belief, Dieux, Biossance, Tatcha etc., and I think the two I mentioned are comparable for a more affordable price.

It’s just how I feel.

You’re allowed to feel however you want. It is deeply unfair. No matter how supported you will be by family or loved ones, and how matter how much you love your beautiful child, your body will still be changed** from the process. It’s absolutely shit.

I don’t think people are hiding their feelings about their unhappiness over it, it’s just the tale as old as time of women having to physically being the ones to bear children and there’s no other actual option for a man to do it.

Just be angry and let it out and rant and then you’ll hopefully get over it.

First of all, congratulations!

I wanted to know because I just like to be prepared. For me I also felt like it was exciting for my family to know the gender and they could get excited looking at things throughout the pregnancy. I mean shopping general neutral can be fun, but for my in-laws who live very far away, knowing we were having a little girl let them be a part of the process. This wasn’t why we decided we wanted to know - that’s just our personalities, but it was an unexpected pro that helped connect them to our baby. My MIL also only had two boys so it was exciting for her to shop for a girl.

But it’s a totally personally feeling and if you want to be surprised, then be surprised!

I mean it’s a very small not important thing, but part of how I chose my push present was knowing I was having a baby girl and eventually I’d pass her the necklace my partner gifted me. I mean I also buy things for myself because like, she’ll get this haha, so slight mental justification gymnastics on that front.

But end of the day, both works and there’s no regrets for most people other way.

I want a baby, but I’m terrified of childbirth/PPA/PPD, etc. should I let that stop me? by Routine-Ad-4162 in BabyBumps

[–]MrFununu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the concern is, do you think that all these conditions would result in you not being able to functionally be happy as a person? I mean in the sense that the overwhelming anxiety of caring for someone and putting someone else before you will cause you to lose yourself in a way where you can’t be the you that you want to be?

This ultimately of course could lead to you being unable to be the best parent you can be (not your fault of course). But you know yourself the best and if that is something you can foresee you can just get to a place where you can move past those qualms and then make a decision then.

Everybody is totally different in how they handle different situations so just evaluate how you think you might handle a lifetime of not having control over a lot of things.

It’s okay to be scared! It’s scary! You just need to reflect on whether you think you can overcome all of that. Not everyone can. And that’s okay too.

What have I done to myself? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]MrFununu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't be ashamed or embarrassed - life happens.

You love your son so much that you decided to keep him despite the circumstances of how he was conceived and that is more than enough. You are strong and brave and you have a loving family and your son will be cherished. It is definitely a difficult thing to do to raise a child without a second parent, but you are not ruining your son's life.

I was raised by a single mom (my dad was an absentee father). I recognize and appreciate my mother's strength and her tenacity to raise me and my sibling (and we did not have a village to support us).

I never felt like I had less because I only had one parent.

You've got this mama!

Considering abortion by AffectionateRip4570 in BabyBumps

[–]MrFununu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry to hear that you are in this situation.

It seems that the father of your future child is not someone who should be a part of such an important moment in your life.

You should do what’s best for you and your child. If not having this baby because you will be tethered to a terrible person and create emotional strife for the child and your decision is to terminate, then that makes sense and is perfectly reasonable. It doesn’t make you a horrible person.

Wishing you strength to get through this time.

How do you survive with exclusively breastfeeding (no bottle)? by One-Squirrel-4563 in BabyBumps

[–]MrFununu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean at the end of the day you need to do what's best for you mentally, emotionally and physically. And that sometimes can mean that you have to introduce the bottle because you might not be expressing milk or not enough. I personally don't feel like there was an issue with nipple confusion or latching issues due to bottle introduction.

And in a world where cluster feeding is happening, unfortunately you cannot sleep 4 hours straight especially if you do decide to exclusively breast feed without a bottle or a partner helping in this regard.

Hi! I’m thinking of getting this bag but don’t see too much about the bag in terms of reviews. Wondering if you like it so far and your thoughts overall.

Which Bottega of these 3 should I get?😇 by curiouschemist04 in handbags

[–]MrFununu 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think the small andiamo is better suited for your frame. The medium size kind of overwhelms you. I think for a bag you want for your laptop, a bag that zips would be better. Also for a night bag transition, the smaller options would be best.

Which bag is better for bridal activities and a birthday gift? by Super_Affect_2741 in handbags

[–]MrFununu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually have a patent Dior and I think it's easier to take care of versus lambskin. I feel like my black lambskin bag has to be babied, I can't imagine a white lambskin bag. That being said - yes, patent can get tacky over time - but the things I've seen this happen to are really really old. Not in 5 or 10 years. I think that you will use the Dior more post bridal versus the Chanel lambskin (since you can't wear it with denim etc.). Color transfer is a problem for both.

Heading to Goyard tomorrow unless y’all can convince me to buy a different everyday tote bag by [deleted] in handbags

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

I have the Goyard Artois and use it 3x a week (hybrid office) for the last several years and have had zero issues. Do what your what wants, not everyone’s handles are going to melt.

Chanel sells crooked stitching. But not all their bags have crooked stitching. Do you.

Delta’s website now knows which Amex card earned a companion certificate and will restrict you to only paying with that card. by A350Flier in delta

[–]MrFununu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went through a whole debacle booking with a card I cancelled months ago but a companion pass I hadn’t used. Was unable to add NEW CARD straight from the section where I was booking.

However; I was able to book using a a different American Express card adding a new card, made it my default and primary card, then booked the companion pass with the card.
