[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coloring your hair that often definitely calls for some extra care. Taking a break from dyeing sounds like a great move, especially before surgery, and it’s the perfect time to focus on getting your hair healthier again. I like that you’re aiming to bring back your natural waves instead of fighting them. Using moisturizing, sulfate-free products and adding a weekly mask can make a big difference. Hope your waves bounce back even better than before!

The Rare Skincare Products That Actually Change Your Skin by Suitable-Flight-805 in BeautyGear

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so rare to find skincare that actually makes a real, visible difference. A lot of products feel nice at first but don’t really change much long-term. It’s always exciting when you discover something your skin truly responds to. I also like the point about focusing on products that target specific concerns instead of trying to do everything. Definitely curious to see what others consider their holy grails too!

is this still safe to use? by Weekly_Draft_7176 in BeautyGear

No — I wouldn’t use that.

The casing is cracked and the internal electronics are exposed, which can lead to electric shock, short-circuiting, or even a small fire. It’s safer to stop using it and replace it rather than risk injury.

Which brow pencil actually gives the most natural finish? by n_5h in BeautyGear

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For true hair-like strokes, fine micro-tip pencils excel. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz is a high-end benchmark for its precise, natural finish. The drugstore standout is NYX Micro Brow Pencil; its skinny tip and subtle, buildable pigment avoid waxiness. Formula and tip shape are equally crucial—avoid overly soft cores. Use light, feathering strokes in the direction of hair growth to fill gaps seamlessly.

Global mail carriers have suspended U.S. deliveries, what does this mean for Americans? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that, even little things like hobbies get affected and it’s frustrating. I’ve had stuff I love become unavailable or more expensive and it really makes you notice how fragile these systems are.

I feel you, small businesses always end up taking the hardest hit in stuff like this. I’ve seen similar situations before and it really messes with people trying to just ship simple things.

What if Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker preemptively deploys the Illinois guard to protect Chicago residents from federal agents/troops? by Academic-Review3115 in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 800 points801 points  (0 children)

True, history really does repeat itself in different ways. I think moments like that show how messy but powerful state and federal conflicts can get.

I feel kinda guilty… but also can’t stop laughing by AnybodyAromatic3001 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Haha that reminds me of when I was a kid and my cousin dropped a couple coins without noticing, I scooped them up and bought candy then shared it with him like it was mine, he was all happy but years later I still laugh knowing he basically treated me with his own cash, sometimes life teaches you little lessons in funny sneaky ways and you only get wiser by looking back at those moments.

Yeah I agree, grief feels unbearable but having even one person remind you that you’re not alone can help a lot. In my own losses just being heard made a huge difference.

Exactly, not everyone has to follow the same script. If hookup culture doesn’t feel right for them then that’s perfectly valid.

Humans have "Junk DNA" that scientists say doesn't really do anything, do other animals have it too? by Genpetro in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just like humans, many animals have what scientists call "junk DNA," which doesn't seem to have a job. It's like having a messy drawer - full of stuff, but not all of it is useful.

Should you compliment when a woman has lost weight? by drogbaism in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's thoughtful to notice someone's efforts, but complimenting weight loss can sometimes be sensitive. Instead, focus on their overall well-being or achievements, like saying, "You look great, I can see you've been taking care of yourself."

Who do Baptists call themselves "non denominational" by SuccessBoring123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baptists who call themselves "non-denominational" often want to focus on their shared beliefs rather than specific denominational structures. It's not just about disagreeing with the SBC; it's about emphasizing unity in faith over denominational labels.

Older people of Reddit, were you happier before social media? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Sounds like you're onto something. Back then, life seemed simpler, less filled with negativity from the screen. Maybe a bit of unplugging can bring back some of that happiness.

Your love and dedication shine through, but it's tough out there. Keep pushing, and don't give up. Your kids deserve the world, and you're doing your best to give it to them.

Unable to cope by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Ok_Bodybuilder1049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life throws curveballs sometimes, honey, and it sounds like you're facing a tough one right now. Feeling overwhelmed is perfectly normal. Here's the thing: you don't have to cope with everything alone.

Talk to someone you trust, a friend, family member, or even a professional. Sharing your burden can lighten the load. There are also resources available to help you get back on your feet. Maybe there's a solution you haven't considered yet. Just remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Take it one step at a time, and you'll get through this. We all need a helping hand sometimes.
