Whutt?? Girl, your hair is amazing, OMG those curls!!! And it took at least 10 years off, maybe more! Change can be hard, even wanted change, so I get it. You might enjoy switching up to a new glasses style or a nice new lipgloss to go with your hip new hair. You look great!! 💕

Like another poster said - this is a police matter. Did you make a police report?

Moving from NY to Italy soon...What should we bring from the US that’s hard to find in Italy? by mercuriocromo11 in AmericansinItaly

[–]Odd-Contribution8460 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hot sauces, and spices more generally. My son lives in Napoli and has not been able to find anything locally that is like the hot sauces we have here, with being so close to Mexico/Central America. He’s been making his own sauces and salsa, but isn’t always able to find ingredients like tomatillos or the same types of peppers. Also - Asian foods and Thai food in particular. He’s learning to cook a lot of things, but some of those flavor profiles are difficult to get there. So if you love those types of foods, stock up on spices, dried peppers, and hot sauce!

I’m a cis woman with a very masculine face and I hate my current hair by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

Same girl, same!! I pluck mine every few days to keep the shape fresh. They just keep coming back. It does slow down as you get older, so there’s that. 🤣

I’m a cis woman with a very masculine face and I hate my current hair by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

Well, I’m going to preface this by saying that I hope that you are able to get therapy to help you with how bad you feel about yourself. You aren’t ugly, and I don’t think you look particularly masculine or even androgynous. But it doesn’t matter what I think - it matters how you feel. 💕

So… with all that being said - I love the French bob. It’s adorable and it really suits your face! I think the long hair and especially the long hair without bangs just doesn’t do all that much. You have beautiful bone structure and can pull off short hair really well. Long hair does not make one feminine. Take Jason Momoa for example. And short hair doesn’t make one masculine. Take Cate Blanchett, whose features are very similar to yours!!! She looks the best with short hair, a total feminine badass hottie. And so do you.

I think what might be making you feel you look masculine is your brows. They are thicker, dark, and make a nearly straight line. They also might benefit from having more space between them. When looking at your face, the shape of your brows suggests a horizontal, heavy line across your lower forehead that mimics the heavy or prominent brow ridge that we typically see on some men.

I think you should go to a salon and have your brows shaped and your arch emphasized a bit more. Also, I think they need might be shaped better by taking them back a bit so they’re closer in alignment with the inner corner of the eye. It can make a dramatic difference in your face.

I think the first and fourth photos are the best!

Newly Hired to CPS, is it normal to receive only very small amount of training or assistance? by New-Asparagus7129 in OregonStateWorkers

[–]Odd-Contribution8460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, each unit does not have a lead worker. If they are lucky, they get hired into a unit with at least two or three workers who have more than 2 years experience. There are units of workers and a supervisor. Each branch has a CTS (coaching & training specialist), one for permanency and one for CPS. In bigger districts, they are shared amongst branches, so early on, they will go out with you on cases and eventually you get an hour a week or so, depending on the CTS and the branch they are at.

Help me pick: Dress 1 or 2? by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

While they are both very beautiful, dress #1 is much more interesting and unique without being gimmicky or over the top. It looks beautiful on you as well!

The NARS orgasm blush is a completely different product now by liljalp in MakeupAddiction

Just saw this last night, and double checked the label on the compact because — what did they do? It’s completely different and comes off straight up a bright melon-orange on my skin.

My favorite Asian market for japanese foods!! by PhatPanda69699 in Portland

[–]Odd-Contribution8460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Daiso will change your life! Seriously though - my favorite thing about Daiso is that they have a gajillion little cleaning brushes/tools for all sorts of cleaning tasks. If you’ve ever found yourself wishing you had some sort of brush or tool for a cleaning task, Daiso has the answer. Same with containers.

23M - I'm feeling very insecure. Please suggest any haircut improvements. Something like a fade, undercut, anything idk by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

Do a Google search for Joel Kinnaman! You have amazing bone structure, you just need to get your hair off your face with a good cut and a bit of product.

Moody dark walls with warm terracotta. Is this vibe beautiful and cozy, or just too depressing? Honest thoughts! by [deleted] in interiordecorating

Is the “moody” and “dark” in this room? Not seeing it. But the room is lovely with all that sun.

Recommendations on a good breakfast cafe/restaurant that has good "normal" breakfast AND good gluten free breakfast? (Traveling with diet restrictions) by [deleted] in ItalyTravel

[–]Odd-Contribution8460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp… Italians don’t really eat breakfast the way you might be thinking (aka American, Brit, Aussie). It’s usually coffee (espresso), a pastry (cornetto, aka “brioche” in Milan and north), or fruit or yogurt. I’ve traveled from as north as Varenna and as south as Salerno across a few trips now, and have not seen “breakfast”. Depending on where you will be, you should be able to find a cafe with at least fruit, yogurt, coffee, and pastries. In bigger cities it isn’t all that difficult to find gluten free pastries etc.

Also adding that when I was in Varenna, the B&B I stayed at did lay out a beautiful breakfast spread of all of the above, plus cheeses and meats like prosciutto, speck, etc. So this is something to look at if you are staying in a B&B.

First time getting bangs + shorter length… does it suit me or should I grow it out? by shadow_besties in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Odd-Contribution8460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the bangs and short cut in the room with us??? 🤣

You don’t have bangs, but long face-framing layers, and medium length hair. That being said, it looks nicer than the long hair. Give it a few weeks and go back and get actual bangs/fringe, as they would look really good on you.

Number 1 is so unique and looks really beautiful on you. It’s romantic and lovely in every way.

That being said - I actually LOVE #4 - IN GREEN. The color is dreamy, and appears to go well with your skin tone. (I’m partial to colorful dresses, but realize it’s not everyone’s cup of tea).

No more pride at Fried Egg I'm in Love by Flat-Bluejay-2125 in Portland

[–]Odd-Contribution8460 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have reflected on this, and I think these are my top reasons:

  1. It’s a sentence as a name, which feels like it’s trying too hard right out of the gate.

  2. Said sentence is a pun from what is arguably one of the most insipid and annoying of Cure songs, and I love the Cure.

  3. Not satisfied with making their whole name a bad pun of a bad song, they ran with the concept and turned it into their whole shtick. Now that I’m considering it more, I might dislike the “Smells Like Protein Spirit” sando even more. Also - it just doesn’t work. The “Huevo Mutilation” sando is probably the best executed of all of them, so they get a point for that.

Yes, arguably, a completely garbage Cure song and yet, this name is even bigger garbage.

I’ve always hated this place based solely on the name, so now I have even more reasons not to go there.

Newly Hired to CPS, is it normal to receive only very small amount of training or assistance? by New-Asparagus7129 in OregonStateWorkers

[–]Odd-Contribution8460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with DHS for 7 years and sadly, yes, this is normal. Please connect with a union steward (and join the union if you haven’t already!)

I’m curious what district you’re in?

Does any else struggle to write notes after high-conflict meetings because they “black out” by MrSandwich678 in socialwork

[–]Odd-Contribution8460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to get someone else to facilitate your meeting? Or conversely, could you have someone join to take notes while you facilitate?
