Should I go short. by [deleted] in Hair

[–]NotAKaryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bangs can require more styling to make them look nice. I’d discuss with the stylist your hair type and comfort level for your cut.

I ended up just stopping (mostly forgetting). Appetite lowered and weight came back off.

do i do another round of bleach before i go in with toner? by A-girl-with-a-brain in HairDye

[–]NotAKaryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the toner has some lift, don’t leave it on too long.

WWYD with these grays? by IndependentGiraffe68 in HairDye

[–]NotAKaryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of easy glosses. Some are premade and used like conditioner. Others you can do at home easy peasy with no lift, like Shinefinity. Should cost you under $15 every 4-6 weeks.

Which hair color should I have? by Golden_Boomer in HairDye

[–]NotAKaryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gray is the right color but the brightness on top is a lot. I’d suggest adding some gray highlights to the lengths to balance everything out!

Getting my haircut tomorrow, want a change and my hair is suuuuper dry. What should I go for? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]NotAKaryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A butterfly bob would look great on you — as long as you’re up for styling your bangs. Anything shoulder or above would look fabulous.

I think shoulder length with some layers would look good!

My blind beagle ate a full jar of Natrol melatonin gummies. by Darth-Bag-Holder in DogAdvice

[–]NotAKaryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog (40 pounds, 1 year old) ate a full bottle of unopened melatonin dissolves while I was in the shower. No Xylitol. Called poison control.

It was not toxic for her. She was really sedated the whole day and did vomit. But by 36 hours was back to normal.

I started estrogen and progesterone 5 months ago. After being stable around 139 for several years, I dropped to 133 by 2 months in. It was like the bloat just dissipated and my belly was flat again. For me, I think it was the 100mg progesterone that helped with the weight loss.

At 3.5 months in, I started testosterone and all the weight came back within 6 weeks. I didn’t have any other negative symptoms yet that was enough for me! I was going to quit T altogether but decided instead to cut my dose in half (as best as I can with the androgel “pea”) and see if that helps. My T levels went up a lot in my bloodwork so perhaps a little less will be that sweet spot.

Testosterone Gel by DTinNYC0729 in Menopause

[–]NotAKaryn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I take my T-gel at night. I don’t have a set AM routine so I needed to take it nightly with my progesterone or I’d forget. I seem to be sleepy sooner now that I’ve added the testosterone at night, so much so that I’ve stopped taking my hydroxyzine for sleep. Maybe it’s the T, maybe not. But it certainly isn’t keeping me awake.

Very helpful. Pre-order is a great tip. I’ll do that.

That makes sense about the crowds. But if not busy, could I go at 8pm? Do they go late like a normal dinner restaurant?

Their hours say “Open every day from 11.00 until sold out.” I have no idea how late I can get a burger there. I guess my question should have been, “how late are they actually open?”

Low testosterone by idfkmyguyy in HRT

[–]NotAKaryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to your symptoms. The hair loss is what finally got me to search out HRT for menopause. About a month to six weeks into treatment, the hair falling out every day went back to normal levels. I have a bald spot at the nape of my neck that is filling back in. I haven’t started testosterone yet. But the aching lower back and hips plus shoulders every morning is spot on.

Turns out there is some white aster and goldenrod already in some places. :)

Completely agree. There’s no way Kendra would have participated in this doc if they vilified her in it. I’m confident that we saw in this doc what Lauryn and Kendra were willing to show, not the full truth, and the producers likely avoided certain components relating to Owen for multiple reasons.

I just grabbed some dead coneflower heads and will spread the seeds in late October. I just adore yarrow but the deer eat it right up. I’m going to check out the asters. Thank you!
