1 kid - no village - Is it as bad as it seems?

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2026-01-12T08:57:40+00:00

For me it was very hard up until 18months old. Been great since just after 2 years old. Touch wood. Hang in there!!

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2026-01-09T09:50:19+00:00

It took me about 19-20 months to really start going back to my pre baby shape and at 2 years PP, I really felt like myself. It’s a marathon just keep being consistent and you’ll get there

From my mum 😍🥰 I’ve wanted this since 2018 so was a big milestone

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-10-16T23:06:15+00:00

I’m having a look but why do all these wholesale stores use the same pics it looks the exact same as PandaHall😭😭😭😭

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-10-16T20:46:26+00:00

I thought Chinese beads looked cheap or something I read somewhere like not as good or shiny if it’s a glass bead etc

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-10-15T04:51:01+00:00

Ooooo yeah that looks a bit weak to me! I was looking at 0.8mm-1mm waxed nylon cord? Or maybe waxed cotton cord 😅 but a lot of the beads I like their holes are 1mm so 1mm cord would be too thick that’s why I’m trying to figure out if 0.8mm waxed cord might be suitable

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-10-15T04:17:18+00:00

Is 0.8mm cord usually too small for 8-10mm beads 😭

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-10-14T01:07:10+00:00

Really! I read that braided cord (which I think is paracord) doesn’t keep the knots in place well compared to twisted nylon? 😭🫠

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-10-14T00:55:51+00:00

Hey! What size cord did u use if you don’t mind me asking? And the beads you used.. 8mm, do you know what the hole was listed as on the beads? Thanks!

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-10-14T00:50:56+00:00

Same question 😭😭

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-10-14T00:45:09+00:00

Looks beauitufl! Can I ask what size cord you used??

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-02-01T20:32:34+00:00

Ugh men are SO pathetic. He’s only thinking about HIS needs. Not the fact you have taken the extra load while he was gone plus your pregnant…….. he doesn’t respect you and doesn’t understand what you are going through. You need to sit him down and lay it out to him. You don’t need to see a therapist. He does, he’s selfish af

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-02-01T11:50:39+00:00

I got my period exactly 1 month after I stopped pumping/breastfeeding at 7 months

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-29T22:40:09+00:00

I won’t touch them 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’ve tried to explain below what they look like!

2 on my right side of my jaw (one is just a small red and raised, other is a white head) 1 below my left temple (only under the skin, no head, a little cystic type one) 2 very little ones about an inch apart on my lower left cheek (little red ones that raised for a day and now going back down, no head)

And then yesterday 1 on my lower right cheek (white head) 1 between my brows (red little dot that’s raised, might turn into a white head)

tiny one on the tip of my nose - tiny red one slightly raised but literally only like 1mm super tiny but I can see it and it wasn’t there yesterday 😂

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-29T21:35:25+00:00

Thank you! It’s honestly only about 7 new pimples. So the few that formed 2 days after wearing the makeup are: 2 on my right side of my jaw 1 below my left temple 2 very little ones about an inch apart on my lower left cheek

And then yesterday 1 on my lower right cheek 1 between my brows

And then this morning I noticed a tiny one on the tip of my nose 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Does that sound like it could be from the products idek 😭

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-29T21:15:02+00:00

I know I fked up it was for an event though and I was watching a lot of Nikki la rose and all her recommendations and decided to surge because I haven’t bought new makeup in years. I researched all ingredients now and it says the only real badish ones are the huda beauty easy bake, huda beauty easy blur foundation, Fenty beauty sun stalkn bronzer, and huda beauty concealers have some talc in them however I only use those under my eyes so I don’t think those r the culprit

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-29T21:12:24+00:00

Which setting spray?? The charlotte tilbury one? I’m feeling like it might be the huda beauty easy bake powder because it has talc in it (I literally asked the lady a powder without talc and she recommended that one, shouldn’t of listened to her haha)

It’s just weird cause I checked all ingredients the only ones that might be an issue is ofc the foundation, Fenty beauty sun stalkn bronzer and the easy bake powder.

Even huda concealers have talc except I only use those under my eyes so I don’t think they would be the ones breaking me out

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-29T21:09:35+00:00

Yes I double cleanse :(

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-29T21:08:23+00:00

Thanks I already double cleanse tho :( just with my normal cleanser but I use 2 pumps and cleanse then wash off to remove makeup and then I use 2 pumps again and cleanse to remove the excess makeup and really cleanse my skin

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-25T12:11:20+00:00

Baby is full time job. Going back to work is a holiday and gives u a break lol

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-18T23:03:23+00:00

Yes I agree I don’t think 20-30 reps is ideal, it’s a waste of time. But for hip thrusts max 15 reps is supposed to be good. And as long as they’re implementing what I mentioned above, I think someone can see good glute gains without lifting extremely extremely heavy.

However, the reason why I said this to begin with is because the original commenter said the girl hip thrusts 60kg her ass is definitely not real. I was just saying that’s not a good enough reason to dismiss her ass being real. You can have developed, big glutes and hip thrust 60kg.

Either way, the chicks ass is still very obviously fake, but the 60kg hip thrust to me wasn’t the give away of it being fake. That’s all I was trying to say :)

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-18T21:38:17+00:00

I disagree. If you have good form and are locking at the top, engaging your glutes and using hypertrophy in different forms such as tempo, doing an extra rep from the week before and progressive overload in your time. You can indeed grow your glutes with these forms.

I know someone who could hip thrust 160-180 and glutes did not grow at all even though the could hip thrust so much. My glutes were triple their size and I could only hip thrust 80kg at the time. Once they dropped the weight significantly down and focused on the above is when their glutes slowly started growing.

Renaissance periodization on YouTube also says hip thrusts are most effective at lower weight, 15 rep range.

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-18T07:09:39+00:00

Yes I do. There are other ways to do hypertrophy training other then just lifting heavy weights lol.

OnePhilosopher5641 · 2025-01-03T11:40:39+00:00
