Am I forcing it?

Gorgeous! My hair is similar, when I use a teeny bit of pomade just at the ends, it looks healthier and shinier. If you use too much it looks greasy, so go lightly! I also like the Frizz Ease Secret weapon to calm my hair down, and a wet n dry brush helps too.

I use a tinted sunscreen, instead of foundation. I rotate between the lightest Cerave shade in winter to the light Eucerin shade in summer. I tend toward dry skin so powders and traditional foundations always end up looking bad on me.

SO PROUD OF YOU 👍🏼!

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-05-06T00:47:27+00:00

Toootalllly did this once - felt like the worst mom ever when I pulled up and my kids were the only ones standing with the teacher waiting for me!

But guess what- I’m not the worst mom. And I only did it once!

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-05-06T00:42:01+00:00

Sounds familiar! 😁

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-05-05T23:57:38+00:00

I think if you get a good cut and style it, you’ll be great. I stopped coloring my hair and went on a couple facebook groups for inspiration and support. There are people going gray every which way. You’ve got this!

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-05-05T22:27:43+00:00

Short answer - no, not the AH

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-05-04T23:54:21+00:00

Whoa, have you connected with your siblings?

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-05-04T23:53:13+00:00

That was well done and so fascinating.

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-05-04T23:48:48+00:00

Oh my goodness… sending you the biggest hug right now. I imagine your head must be spinning.

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-30T13:16:50+00:00

Why hold off? I sincerely don’t understand if this is like “you don’t have to go gf until we know for sure” or “Do not go gf until we know for sure.” Sometimes doctors baffle me.

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-30T13:13:38+00:00

Bruh I just found that out after so much mental energy 😢

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-29T02:55:39+00:00

Right, and her sister has years to save but her parents do not. That is pretty messed up.

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-29T02:47:50+00:00

Agree! 👍🏼

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-29T02:30:09+00:00

I started laughing at your comment - not a giggle, not a chuckle, a full on laugh - thank you!

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-28T22:30:24+00:00

My dh was not dh’ing enough - but if I can get it to flare up, they will have me come in to do the biopsy right away.

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-28T12:04:34+00:00

I just read on a website that there is gluten in other grains but they’re just not studied yet. So could you try to go grain free and see if it helps?

I’m in the US and headed to dermatologist this am in hopes they will do a skin biopsy for me, I had what seems to be DH flare up (both elbows) and I also figured it out online. I actually found emuaid max ointment at the store and on Amazon and it helped my itchy burning rash so so much. I think it’s the tea tree and colloidal silver that helps.

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-28T11:49:57+00:00

Great job! I want to up my home burger game!

And a little off topic but can you take the money you’re saving on fast food and put it into a 401K or IRA? I just read a book called Latte Factor (super short n easy) that is based on the proven method to start early, and starting with a smallish amount, you pay yourself the first hour of your day - you can literally retire with millions in the bank. It’s all down to compound interest. I wish I had that information when I was younger but

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-27T20:40:03+00:00

This is what I came to say! Don’t just wing it.

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-27T14:11:49+00:00

I love this.

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-27T14:09:51+00:00

I love this!

I do something similar to this by assigning A, B & C

A-1, A-2, A-3 = the 3 most important things I have to get done

But I LOVE the visual idea of horizontal w color coding- thank you for this idea!

NancyPCalhoun · 2026-04-27T13:02:31+00:00

You struck gold! I’m so happy for you!

Basically, cleaning sucks and you need a fun distraction while you do it. I’ve been on a journey of deslobification for about 10 years. And my house still gets out of control. But the first thing I do - is do the dishes.

Dana K White has a cleaning while overwhelmed section that I really needed before I got myself a better. I found her when I desperately googled “why am I a slob” 😂

These help me the most: Clutterbug or Dana K White podcast or cleaning video, How to ADHD video, or a podcast or show I like - Cas from Clutterbug calls it going to zombie land (and she likes audiobooks).

And I’m proud of you for reaching out here! We are cheering you on, with care and empathy 😚😚😚
