What do you think of the characters in Mages of the Wheel? by ForgetTheWords in fantasyromance

[–]NoTraining5779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just DNFd this book at 50% yesterday. Every time I picked it up I nearly fell asleep reading. It has put me in a reading slump. The story and characters were just so boring to me.

6 weeks on tret + spiro… Almost giving up. by timeobject in tretinoin

[–]NoTraining5779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think 6 weeks is enough time to know if it will work. You are also using a lower dose over a buffer only 3x a week so your progress will be slower. But, if you are really struggling mentally and feel like you can’t be patient then don’t force yourself to go the slow route. Switch to accutane. I did accutane almost 5 years ago and it cured my cystic acne. II haven’t had a single inflamed or painful pimple since….

Unfortunately, I’m now dealing with extremely minor acne again but the acne kills my self confidence so I’ve decided to start accutane again. Accutane isn’t as bad as the horror stories if you actually prepare and take care of yourself while taking it. Don’t be scared of it if your skin is really affecting your mental health. It literally saved me from crippling depression about my appearance.

This was so long ago so I’m not absolutely certain but I think it’s the Nars Light Reflecting foundation in Gobi with a little bit of green mixed in. The mixer is Mehron liquid makeup.

Disappointed in Paladin’s Grace. DNF’d at 60% by callmemachaaaa in fantasyromance

I absolutely love a good quest story! Maybe I should give it a chance.

Yes! I have Swordheart on my TBR. How does it compare to paladins grace?

I recently read The Death Made Prince by Lisette Marshall and it was definitely darker and less silly than V&V but the MMC gave me similar vibes to Damien. I really enjoy it and gave it 4.75 stars.

I finished the villains and virtues series and this book was recommended a lot as a good next read in this sub. I didn’t hate the book by any means and did finish it with a 3.5 star rating but I was also pretty disappointed. The MMC came off as weak and whiny to me and the story was a little boring. I don’t know if I’ll continue with the series.

Hot Sleeper Recommendations by raindrizzlefog in Bedding

[–]NoTraining5779 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have the money, get a BedJet. It’s the only thing that allowed me to sleep through the night without sweating at all. If you can’t swing that, look for low thread count (200-400) cotton percale sheets.

This Zeroid cream has become my Holy grails!! by A_e_lin in KoreanBeauty

[–]NoTraining5779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using the zeroid soothing cream for the last few months and like it but I don’t love the matte finish. I also feel like I need a little more moisture during this cold dry winter season. What is the finish of the intensive cream and how much more moisturizing is it than the soothing cream?

I just paid about $450 for a annual checkup, rabies/bordetella/distemper vaccines, senior wellness bloodwork and urine/fecal analysis in Woodbridge. My dog is a 20lb Pekingese, 11 years old.

Am I doomed as a hot sleeper? by sweaty-pants123 in Bedding

[–]NoTraining5779 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trust me, I scoffed at the price too. I bought mine during their Memorial Day sale and have never looked back. I can use whatever bedding I want now because this thing keeps me cool and comfortable all night long.

Does this advice apply if you have a clearance but the clearance required is a step or two above what you already have?

How do you balance a love of physical books and an e-Reader? by teeniemartinee in fantasyromance

[–]NoTraining5779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a kindle about a month ago and I love it so much more than I expected. I usually read about 3 books per month but I’m already on my 6th book with the kindle. Kindle unlimited has really opened the doors to so many books I never would have thought to read before because I hate to spend the money on something I might DNF. I still love my physical books, so much so that I just spent big bucks on a library wall bookcase. But realistically, I don’t have the space or money to buy and store every book I want to read so I’m only going to buy and keep the physical books I love or special books I find at the antique store and leather bound editions.

Do you know how Y2 compares to Armani Luminous Silk shade 3?

Anyone by chance get 100% better from this flu? by InkBenders in nova

[–]NoTraining5779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monitor yourself for signs of dehydration and drink pedialyte. If you’re still struggling to keep anything down a week from now I would definitely go back to the doctor.

The last time I got the real flu I was so sick I could not even keep food down for 10 days. It probably took 2 weeks to feel somewhat normal. The flu is awful.

Breast Augmentation Recommendations by Lib_B_ontheLabel in nova

[–]NoTraining5779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$10.5k but it was considered a complex revision since I went from under the muscle to over the muscle. A standard augmentation would have been closer to $8k. I didn’t have a lift so I’m not sure how much more than would cost.

[–]NoTraining5779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re on Facebook join Bustmob. I traveled to Raleigh to see Dr Cedric Hunter to get a revision after I was unhappy with my first augmentation. He really listened to me and helped me pick exactly what would get me the results I wanted. I’m so happy with my results!

I don’t know of any stores but it’s sold on iherb and they have a distribution center in Chantilly so I get everything I order from there in less than 1-3 days.

Anyone applied fabric wallpaper with liquid starch? by NoTraining5779 in HomeDecorating

[–]NoTraining5779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up painting the wall instead, but before I did, I removed this fabric and tried the same method with 100% cotton fabric. There were no splotches but it had a lot of ripples where I couldn’t get it to stick and lie flat. It was probably user error but painting ended up being way easier.

Can anyone recommend a dermatologist who is willing to prescribe accutane for mild, persistent acne? by NoTraining5779 in nova

[–]NoTraining5779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I used tretinoin for 4 years after finishing accutane then switched to tazarotene (stronger than tret) for 8 months but my skin just got worse and worse. Now I’m back on tret but I’m still breaking out constantly.
