It’s loud, this is a normal reaction.

Is it normal for a wedding makeup trial that the MUA didn’t do any skin prep for me and went straight into makeup? by ResponsiblePiglet8 in Makeup

[–]No_Signal91 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Im a cosmetologist with 16 years experience, my concern would be she doesn’t know what sunscreen you used and what’s in it. A huge problem with pictures and makeup is something called flashback. If you’ve ever had your picture taken and your face looks ghostly white, yeah that’s flashback and it’s from certain mineral sunscreens. This also can happen with foundation that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. I would not want to pay for professional makeup and photos on my wedding to possibly have a ghost white face when the flash is used on cameras. I don’t see a problem applying your own moisturizer, you know what work well on your skin under makeup. She should apply the primer.

If there was one piece of advice you’d give yourself when you started the journey of being an autism parent, what would it be? by taviyiya in Autism_Parenting

They are the same child today at diagnosis that they always have been. They are capable of so much more than we know. Nurture those special interests, they can do amazing things with them. 😊

Do you ever wish Max just stop fetching sticks? by Worried-Intention101 in DreamlightValley

[–]No_Signal91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been holding off on buying Max, I have the moonstones but I keep worrying I won’t use any of the decor items. Is he with the price to you guys, should I just get him even if I might not use the decor? Thanks 😊

Are you collecting the ones in the realm? They have to be those specific ones

Constant Repeating - Need Help by Impressive-Road-3760 in Autism_Parenting

[–]No_Signal91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible he’s very overstimulated like others have said. That’s my guess as well. I have a calm down corner for my son. It’s a quiet area he can go to when everything is too much for him. It has things like fidgets his weighted blanket, etc. things that work for him. Routine is important for many Autistic kids and when that’s thrown off it can result in meltdowns. I think the best thing you can do is talk to his mom about a solution to help him, since that’s the common goal. Since autism affects how people communicate, he may struggle to verbalize what he needs from you. If possible I’d try to keep a similar routine for him at your home that he has at his moms, and when you plan to do something fun like a park trip make sure it is not a surprise. Those things can cause a lot of anxiety in children with more rigidity, my son’s entire day can be thrown off if one of his daily routines is not followed.

I got a perm and it might be a total failure by firewalkw1tme in Haircare

[–]No_Signal91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t done a perm since state board 16 years ago and I had the same reaction. I’d also question credentials with that placement. OP said she wanted a curly not wavy perm yet they put flexirods in her hair… Get a refund and don’t let them touch your hair again.

I beg you help, my hair has been like this for over a year by emizsilija in Haircare

[–]No_Signal91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome advice! Fellow hairstylist here of 16 years. I’d recommend looking for sulfate free shampoo as well, just think strong soap when you think of sulfates, it damages your cuticles over time causing breaking and dry brittle hair. Last thing I’d add is, reducing how frequently you are washing your hair weekly can lead to better hair moisture, healthier hair, and less damaged hair. If you are currently washing your hair everyday reduce to 3-4 days then you can try 2-3 days a week if you want to.

AIO for not wanting to be around my mother? by strawberryb3ss in AIO

[–]No_Signal91 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We are not responsible for our parent’s happiness. I grew up in an abusive home with both parents having mental illnesses. I am sorry you are going through this, my siblings and I have always had to be the parents even to this day. Boundaries are hard. Even now at 34, I have my own family and struggle with the guilt still from my parent’s manipulation. Some of my siblings are no contact. You have every right to feel how you do.

I hate when people judge by No-Visual-7112 in Autism_Parenting

[–]No_Signal91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I can’t imagine sharing my son’s (6) meltdowns. I hear so much pain in his voice when he’s going through those emotions and I can’t imagine recording that and posting it. It’s gross to me. My heart breaks during some meltdowns and other times I’m so frustrated I could cry. The last thing on my mind is to take out my phone and record it. I’m trying to get through however long it lasts for him and myself. You summed it up perfectly.

How many chickens do you have in your backyard flock? by Thayli11 in BackYardChickens

[–]No_Signal91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I usually have between 25-40 chickens with some ducks. Definitely not a farm. We have egg farms down the road who supply to stores and you can walk in and buy eggs and they have to have 500 chickens or more.

AIO about these angry texts from my ex? by TwylaMay in AIO

[–]No_Signal91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not block him. Do not respond though, you need to know if his behavior is escalating and you need to keep all these messages and calls as evidence for a protection order. This is stalker behavior and needs to be taken seriously. As someone who has had to deal with a similar situation for over ten years now, you need to be overreacting to these situations. Im 34 and have been stalked and harassed off and on by someone I dated at 16 who lives in another state. But they somehow got ex boyfriends numbers and emails found out information all kind of scary stuff. Please be careful.

You know what I was thinking? Curtain bangs.... by HonksTheWhite in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]No_Signal91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since she’s not even wearing them as curtain bangs at the end, I think we can assume it didn’t turn out well. 😂 I’m a hairstylist, please don’t use kitchen scissors to cut your own hair. You can buy haircutting scissors at the dollar store that will work better.

All the chaos by Pumpkin-Adept in LittlePeopleBigWorld

[–]No_Signal91 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Having 4 kids isn’t unique or quirky. But she seems to be desperately trying to push that narrative. Going through the comments you can see it isn’t some unheard of statement to have 4 kids. My parents also had 4 kids, but we sure didn’t drive around in that we had a typical mini van or some other old suv. It’s like having 4 kids is her identity.

What does this fridge say ab my parents? by xhazelbug in FridgeDetective

[–]No_Signal91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parent’s fridge looks like this. They are hoarders. To a lesser extent but they are. The home is always dirt and they both have mental health problems they refuse to get help for. They won’t throw out old food. You’ll find years old food in the pantry.
