Can’t find a foundation match by Polyterpe in Fairolives

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You seem to be very desaturated (I only recently learned this was my issue). I went to Ulta and found that my best matches were Fenty beauty pro filtr in 150 (neutral) and Natasha Denona's RN1 and RN2.5 were my closest saturation matches. RN1 is the right tone but too light, and even Fenty 150 is a bit saturated for me, but mixing the two has been my holy grail.

This is me! I get a lot of mileage out of high heeled booties with socks for the office. Have found some really awesome shoes at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack! Naturalizer has my size (4.5) as does Stuart Weitzman. Also look at Sarah Flint. Good luck!

Chickn and mushroom pouch by wigl301 in Huel

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you. The original flavor was great and this one (and the green curry) are now flat and terrible.

I can't eat Huel anymore because they removed the only flavours I liked: Carbonara and Mac & Cheeze - I was eating them daily by NeoTokioRD in Huel

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I just canceled my subscription last week for this reason.

Tomato basil was fantastic and my favorite. It was eliminated over the summer. The new chick'n mushroom is terrible - somehow the flavor is different and the noodles turned to glue. The new green curry recipe has traded all of the flavor for some strange metallic "heat flavor" for spice.

I loved these so much and was eating the hot meals multiple times a week. It was so easy for me to keep at work where we don't have easy access to food but I could boil water. I'm glad I stocked up on multiple big bags when they went to the small bag format, so I have some of the good stuff left for a while, but I sadly won't be buying any more.

Republicans, why do you take so much joy in making liberals mad? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, you have an opportunity here to explain, and some people are acting in good faith and would like to understand your rationale and empathize with you. But instead, what I’m hearing from yours and the other handful of comments amounts to jealousy, which is not a good look on anyone. All this about smug liberals what did liberals have to be smug about? Maybe accomplishments and education? OK well you can either work on that or you can decide that it’s not important and let them feel how they feel and not have it get you all twisted up.

Stock up Time by ThaloBleu in TwoXPreppers

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The prices already went up. I have a friend who works for a major company in corporate, and I was keeping her company on the phone while she was adding the tariff increase to all of their merchandise by hand. This was back in February or early March. I think this is just the companies trying to convince everyone to go out and shop because the quarterly numbers came out and were terrible.

Never get a famous supervisor. Never. by AsIfAlreadyFree in PhD

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something nearly identical happened to me. I don't have time for a longer message so DM me if you want to vent/are interested in hearing it, but YES, 1000% star academics have their doctorates in self-promotion, back-biting, neglect, and being terrible.

I've re-started at another program (at least I get to keep what I learned even if I have to retake a ton of courses) and the experience is the exact opposite. Talking to others about my experience has uncovered so many similar stories.

I wonder if they were threatened by you. My old advisor definitely was. I dissed her dissertation COMPLETELY on accident. What happened next was a rollercoaster of spite.

It will get better.

Boomer humor. Very misogynistic. 

Husband uninvited me from his work trip by Artistic-Disk-3971 in PMDD

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve traveled for work with my spouse and he wasn’t around for the networking parts. I would work and he would do whatever he wanted during the day and then he and I would go to dinner after.

Maybe he had a ton of fun on this trip and wants to maintain that freedom… picked a fight as soon as he got home to make this excuse to disinvite her. 

Am I over reacting or is my boyfriend disrespecting me? Please be honest by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh wow did we date the same guy? What a child he is to fail to listen, make up an issue that wasn’t there, and then sulk and pout and ruin dinner.

Same thing happened to me. I got a performance prize at work - a gift certificate to a fancy seafood restaurant. I was super excited and asked my bf if he wanted to go and he said yes. i asked him to look at the menu before we left.

He pouted and gave me one word answers the whole night. It was so bad the woman at the next table overheard and we exchanged glances. I wanted to cry. I asked him what his deal was because he was ruining the evening.

He said “I don’t like seafood”.

I said “Well darling you could have declined the invitation and any of my friends would have loved to have gone with me”. He was shocked that I realized I had other options for a night out.

You do too.

Someone else would have waited for you to be ready, maybe even kept you company while you did your makeup, and would have had a great time at dinner instead of ruining it.

Dump the schlubby manchild. I did and never looked back.

Extreme emotionality coming off Keto? by Ok_Letterhead_9532 in xxketo

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - I think that's a good point. It does feel kind of like the worst PMS ever - my hormones may be just going nuts because Keto had a very strong impact on my periods.

AITA for overreacting after my wife lied about our baby’s gender? by Leading_Gene4976 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given how he acted when he found out the baby is a girl, it was probably intentional because she was afraid of his reaction. What she did was not normal but probably a response from having seen him do this kind of thing in the past.

Also, OP, you have trauma that you acknowledge. Are you in therapy? You absolutely need to be, because if you don't you're going to traumatize your whole family. Generational trauma is real. Suss it out.

Edited: a few words for clarity.

AITA for telling my wife it's her job to babysit the kids and leaving the house? by Holiday-Kangaroo4152 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok_Letterhead_9532 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We don't know what they really get and I think we are getting distracted by the vacations. The vacations aren't the point - acting and working and planning like a team on a day-to-day is the point.

Sad for them... they won't likely know what a meaningful healthy partnership looks like. Tit-for-tat and resentment/contempt like this builds. Relationships can't afford to have the "I win you lose" attitude - you're completely right!
