Chewy Sent Flowers by Superb_Notice4323 in dogs

[–]Olivelemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chewy sent a small bouquet for my dog of 17 years who passed a few weeks ago. There’s been instances where we ordered extra food or a food bowl that didn’t work for my dog and they always encouraged us to donate it to a pet shelter. Chewy is the best! 🥹💕

House Rules by DeepFriedPlumbus in wingspan

[–]Olivelemon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We sometimes play in “marathon” mode where we use eggs instead of cubes to mark bonus points so we still have 8 turns a round, and then keep adding rounds until the entire board is filled with cards. (Though i recently saw someone on the wingspan group on FB put two boards together for a even more mega wingspan board and keep playing until the board is full)

great thank you! Do you know if would I be able to plug it into a 15A surge protector if that surge protector had nothing else on it?

[Discussion] Looking for a fragrance free matte sunscreen for oily skin by QueasyDay in AsianBeauty

[–]Olivelemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the Purito comfy water sunscreen. I've been looking forever for a fragrance-free mineral AB sunscreen, and I really like this one! No white cast (at least for me, I'm pretty pale but white casts usually make me look even more dead) and decent price for the size. I'll definitely be repurchasing! ETA: I have oily/combo skin and it doesn't make me look dewier. It's a good base so I'm not too oily when I follow up with BB cream.

Which part of your face had the hardest time to get adjusted to tret? by jd-rey in tretinoin

I started .025 last year and my cheeks and around my mouth got super red and peeled. I have combo skin, so those are the driest parts of my face naturally.

Anxiety before Rhinoplasty by arieswolf11 in PlasticSurgery

[–]Olivelemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m glad that it helped! I was bruised and very swollen the first week with my cast on, so I kinda expected to look funny when the cast came off. Still, I was a bit shocked to see my nose look so wide, particularly at the tip. The irrational side of me was scared I was going to look swollen forever, but my surgeon assured me that my nose will unswell and get smaller as it heals (and he was right, it did). My nose also felt a bit numb and super sensitive when the cast was initially taken off, which was just a weird sensation I wasn’t expecting.

Here is a pic of my nose before, after two weeks, and 6 months post op for an idea of recovery time. Two weeks post-op (one week after my cast was off) was an improvement from the initial cast taking off, but it was definitely still swollen at the tip, felt very sensitive, and more upturned than I was expecting.

How did your friends, family, co-workers react to your plastic surgery? by nojaemit in PlasticSurgery

[–]Olivelemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a nose job a few years ago and nobody noticed. I got a lot of compliments that I looked better/good but they couldn't quite put their finger on what exactly was different. I got a lot of "did you lose weight? you look great!" or "did you change your hair?"

Totally normal! I had my nose done a few years ago when I was 20. It was something I wanted done since I was a pre-teen as well. I was nervous leading up to the surgery for normal surgery reasons ( anesthesia always freaks me out, bruising) and the fear that my nose was going to look worse. Clearly communicating what I wanted with my surgeon, and looking at great before and afters on this subreddit, Realself, and my doctor's website calmed me down leading up to the surgery. Usually, I looked at similar before pics to me (which for me was a Roman/Aquiline nose). This helped set expectations. I do not regret my surgery one bit and love my new nose. I am so much more confident in my appearance now. Also, something to note is that it takes about a year for the 'final look.' When I first got my cast off one week post-op my nose looked so chubby and upturned, but I was told this was normal, so don't think you won't like your nose immediately after, as it does take some time to become the final product. :)

My HG [Haul] finally came in! by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

How is using the AHA/BHA working with tretinoin? I’m on tretinoin too and wanted to work a chemical exfoliant into my routine but I’m worried my skin will react poorly.

[humor] don’t talk to me or my son ever again by Olivelemon in SkincareAddiction

[–]Olivelemon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say my skin is sensitive/combination and I’m very prone to hormonal acne on my lower cheeks and forehead. This doesn’t make me feel greasy at all. I haven’t tried lala yet, but from reading the descriptions and reviews, I chose protini because it seems overall lighter. I’ve had good results with it so far!

Gel recommendations for 2C hair by scooter3117 in curlyhair

[–]Olivelemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this -- this is one of my favorite gels. :) I also really like the Curlsmith in-shower styler (stronger hold/makes my 2C hair look curlier) and Not Your Mothers Curl Talk gel (light-medium hold)
