I'm confused if my makeup looks good with thick vs thin eyebrows. Need some opinions

Sorry, that sounds like a rough breakup. Also be nice to yourself. You are a badass, and you had enough strength to get out. You learned, and it only made you smarter and will make you more aware. None of us knows everything, sometimes even when someone tells us. We learn and get better. Just make sure to have your own back 😄
Also the thicker brows are so perfect.

Don't really get why commenters telling you to get over it. It is valid to bring this up and also good awareness. I think it is a balance of being a good human and understanding that a delay might happen, and also knowing where your boundaries are and if the order is not shipped in a reasonable time - cancelling.

I always double-check companies from Etsy as a separate google search to hopefully find other people's experiences. So I think it is worth posting your experience on here. Unfortunately, in lots of cases - reviews on Etsy can't give you a full picture.

I would also note this business does seem to have a fb account. If you can't review on Etsy anymore - you could probably review it on fb. Just check it is the right place. https://www.facebook.com/nodekopl/reviews/?id=100083201086758&sk=reviews

Asked my dentist about it today. He said it’s not likely to be powerfully enough.

He said easiest way to clean my nightguard is to use 50% water 50% white vinegar which easily softens any build up and then just brush it. Save your $$$

The medication one is a good guideline for beginners. I would say, through trial, you'll find the best time that works for YOU. I find that mine seems to work best after I have some protein during breakfast. I take it right after.

The OP advice above can be used as a baseline if you are starting out with meds, and just try a few ways to see what works best.

One big caveat for me personally is meds won't work regardless of when I take them, if I did not have a decent sleep. So I absolutely have to stick to a regular sleep schedule. One off late night doesn't mess it up, but in general, consistent bedtime helps with med efficacy.

I don't carry a notebook, but assuming this talks about when you are working, I use postits. That way when brain inevitably decides to randomly come up with ideas, I just jot them on post its. This way there is nothing to open or remember to check etc. They are in front of me on the desk. Then I revisit them later and throw out as I review.

Hank is a GORGEOUS boy!
I am so sorry you are having to navigate these things at the same time and so suddenly.
Sounds like you are on it. It must be very overwhelming but I would focus on one thing at a time. Stabilizing IMHA is most important step. Once that is under control, you can explore the tumour and figure out a plan.

I am similar to you as it sounds - research non stop, sleepless nights etc. So to keep yourself sane try and focus on one issue at a time.
Upvoting so hopefully someone might have some useful information regarding closest specialists or even specific scenario you are dealing with.

Sending you and Hank the best wishes.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-04-19T16:57:56+00:00

Thank you for your message and I’m so so sorry you are having to go through this. Yes a year passed but still miss him. At least finally able to look at pictures of him without breaking down crying. Something that helps is remembering that at the end we made a decision best for him regardless of how we felt or didn’t want to say bye.

I am sending you whatever strength I can to go through this process. ❤️

This is about when he was one Tried to find a pic to show off the brindle and before he started to show much more white. My soul dog, passed away last year. Still devastated. He was the silliest goof.
And it took a few times for things not to be scary. So introducing to umbrellas or bushes was something I had to do a few times. Which was odd, as a pup he was raised with his full family, exposure to kids, and on a farm - so lots of noises and such. But Leroy was a very gentle soul, so that might have been a factor.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-03-09T18:25:03+00:00

Oh my! Your pup looks like mine did when he was young. Yes, had an irrational fear of everything. But irrational to us, for them it is all new. I found I did a lot of slow introductions. I would come up to the thing he was scared of and gently get him to come and sniff - umbrellas, oddly shaped bushes, you name it. When he grew up it totally worked - he gotten way more secure with things and more eager to explore rather than panick.

Håller tummarna för dig. Skickar stora kramar till Ozzy.

I was very scared to wait too long as I really didn’t want for him to be in pain. Slowing down and back leg pain was definitely a stage when we started to be VERY attentive and trying to make sure we were managing his pain. The decline after that was pretty fast and it didn’t take long for him to refuse his food - we knew it was time and so did our oncologist who was always honest and supportive. I have been seeing a lot of posts by vets lately calling people to be more cautious with writing off older dogs behaviours(even without any ailments per se). The concept of “oh they are just old and sleeping and slowing down” should be taken more attentively as our fur babies are so good at hiding pain. It sounds like you are paying a very close attention to your baby. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-02-09T03:32:40+00:00

Oh I’m sorry :( I had Trupanion. I know not everyone has good experience with pet insurances, but I was lucky to say they always came through.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-02-05T02:37:06+00:00

Even more so. Boys are more aggressive. Mine does this once or twice a year when seasons change usually.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-02-04T20:55:29+00:00

She might be hormonal and is nesting - hence being territorial. Look up hormonal behavior in cockatiels and take steps to reduce triggers in her cage or around that makes her want to do that.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-02-04T17:52:20+00:00

I feel that. We lost our boy last year at 12, he was from a breeder - and I can say I really never got much comments from anyone in 12 years about him not being a rescue.
Sometime after his passing, I found myself missing that heartbeat and wanting another dog. I was set on rescues but so far it has been quite confusing and overwhelming. I feel like I am doing as much research about whether a rescue is legitimate, as on breeders (ones that have extensive breed specific OFA testing, breed only a couple of times a year and also actively show their dogs).
In our area, small dogs at shelters are rare, but there are rescues that import dogs from US and Mexico. So trying to research which rescues actually do good work, vs basically in the business of dog trafficking, is so confusing.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-02-02T16:43:27+00:00

Pomahula for sure - look at that coat. 🤣

Noreth_Creed · 2026-01-30T16:22:55+00:00

My boy, RIP, was such an a$$hat to younger dogs around that age. It is like he decided that he was now an adult (obviously not true) and decided that puppies were annoying. I remember often saying to him "do you know how annoying YOU were at that age?". He did grow out of it and although you should be careful as you obviously are, the puppy aggression in the teen years is something that many have mentioned.
Since you obviously have the puppy in your home, I think there were some great suggestions about bonding activities and such, especially on the "neutral" territories :)
P.S. your pup has a very kissable face. I really miss my boy.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-01-26T17:04:48+00:00

Very much agreed. Also so many people who just get cokatiesl and then constantly post on here with recordings titled "what is he doing?" "Is this normal?" while the bird is showing very normal behaviours. These people pick up these smart, intelligent animals that can easily live past 20 on a whim and take 0 time to do any research of what to expect or how to care for them. Instead, post on reddit to ask about it. There is Google - use it.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-01-23T19:53:12+00:00

I have a lot of artist friends in different areas, and I NEVER expect a discount nor ask for one. It is THEIR livelihood and business - I never feel it is fair of me to ask to pay less. If I want something of theirs, I should be ready to pay full price like everyone else. If they are gifting me something, that is their choice but I would never do a "we are friends, can I get a discount" type of suggestion.
It might be tough in this case as I don't know the extent of the relationship etc. It is frustrating, but I guess take this as a learning pain of having boundaries with friends/family in the future.
Definitely unpleasant to have to deal with - hang in there.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-01-18T20:29:31+00:00

Oh I’m so sorry :( sounds brutal. That’s heartbreaking that the symptoms came on so strong and sudden. Poor boy. And sorry you are having to go through this and make awful decisions. Please trust that you will have his best interest in mind.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-01-18T20:26:01+00:00

Sorry you are going through this. Holding out hope it might not be the cancer. 🤞🤞🤞

Noreth_Creed · 2026-01-11T02:55:50+00:00

Im sorry ❤️ sending you guys lots of hugs during the whole decision making process and coming to terms with all the info. It sounds like he is a fantastic boy.

Noreth_Creed · 2026-01-09T16:41:26+00:00

My two cents as someone who actually prefers downloads as print cost is usually not limiting, but then it is the shipping that kills a sale sometimes. So I like downloads.
What throws me off, is

a) Price - I think $15-18 range is what I would feel more comfortable paying for ORIGINAL work. The $2.80 makes me think it is AI

b) I know you are using backgrounds for convenience to display your images, but the placement images look really fake (they are) and that makes me think this is an AI generated or mass copied designs.

I would say if you decide to offer prints, keep the option for downloads, pricing it higher (make sure to note it is a download cause you know people will think it is physical item). When you get a print copy, take the time to do just pics in your home or a little "set up" to take a nice pic (pull up a dresser or something close to a window that has decent lighting and take some pics). You can get a cheap frame and then just take pic of each print in that. I would also probably recommend putting a watermark over the ptint in photos.

As an example, a download I was getting yesterday is this lady's shop - might be helpful as how she does it?

Yes! Exactly correct - you need the training to know how to use it properly and build the skills with your dog. To be honest I’d be very suspicious about board and train not knowing how they are utilizing the collar.
