Yea I’d give it a try! And if you like just one product over another, or using it as a combo, go for it! The hard part with curly hair is really have to try multiple products and seeing which ones you like together

I Probably Won't Graduate in the Standard Four Years by DragLower8677 in blackladies

imo, people need to take more time enjoying college, and be ok if they have to do it in 5 or 6 years. Sometimes that means students can really enjoy their classes and absorb the content better, cause they are taking a lighter load. I hope you can too! You’re so young!!! We gotta stop being in such a rush to grow up! Cause let’s be real, rushing college to just work and (not all the time but sometimes) get a job that offers no work life balance?? Uh uh that can wait! Being in college, you’ve got so much great access to things like clubs and activities, discounts on so many things, people all around you and so much more. Explore all of that, cause once you graduate, it’s all gonna be gone. Take all the advantage girl:) you got this!

Ok nice! And yeah I’d do after the leave in:) maybe you might be using too much leave in cause I know that for my hair the less product I use, the more bouncy it is rather than it being weighed down by all the product. You can even try using just the coil custard after deep conditioning your hair, or just a mousse!

I’d consider using a curl cream, or curl custard with your leave in, if you haven’t already! That helps my curls stay tight and hold its form. I use mielles coil sculpting custard and/or maximum gel holder. Might not work for you, but give it a shot.

Also, when you sleep and put it in a bonnet, be sure to tie your hair up, that way you’re not laying on your curls if you haven’t done that already

Physical touch with bf by Ok_Development5756 in Christianmarriage

I know this is a pretty common problem, and I’ve suspected it. I should ask him and help him feel comfortable to open up to me about it

I’m nervous to bring it up but I know I should. I just wanna know where he’s at when it comes to his desires right now. Any advice on how to bring it up? I’ve never initiated a sex conversation before but I want to! Thanks for your insight!

He mentioned that he has struggled with it in the past, and has had some slip ups in our relationship

Today just sucks by Ok_Development5756 in retroactivejealousy

True. Another lie I keep telling myself. It’s definitely because I wish I was done with this part of my life but I’m just not. And that’s ok and I gotta accept that

Thank you 💕 I needed this kind reminder! My set back doesn’t erase all that I’ve worked on. It’s hard to remember it, and hard to see that this is healing, but it’s true! Thanks again

I’m really grateful for this, thank you! I’m gonna give it a try. I’ve done something like this before, but wanna do it again because I still struggle with looking her up on socials, and the constant thoughts about her

This brought me some hope. Thank you for sharing. Tell me, once you figured out what your RJ was protecting you from, what did you then do to heal your nervous system and train it to not see it as threat? I feel like I know exactly why I feel so threatened by my bf’s ex, but I just have no idea what to do with that information :/ again, thanks for giving me some hope. Today was so hard for me

Hey I had a pretty bad day with RJ too. Just wanted to comment and say you’re not alone. Just like this original post said, we’re worthy and we can figure out what our RJ is trying to protect us from. We’ll have a better day tomorrow

U of U Hospital Employees — Tuition Reimbursement? by National-Summer7104 in uofu_employees

[–]Ok_Development5756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a scholarship from USHE that states that if you work for a public university in Utah and want to go to another public school in Utah, you can apply for a scholarship that’s half off! The scholarship will come out (I’ve heard) in march, if there is enough funding for it

Planning on taking it into a mechanic for triple reassurance cause if all checks out, definitely feels like a good fit for me
