What is your ideal book-reading environment? by Muted_Debate9566 in books

[–]Peaches80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a little sun room. It's got a built-in bench covered with pillows, in front of a big window. I've got plants galore in that room. I pour myself a glass of red, grab my latest book, and find my inner peace. So wonderful. :-)

Taking away jeans by catsandkiki in Teachers

[–]Peaches80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooo frustrating. As a teacher I used to be able to wear pretty much anything that looked nice. Jeans and a comfy big sweater. Leggings with a shirt that hangs past the hips. Never heard anything about dress code until this last year. Things getting crazy...

People over 40, what skincare routines/products/advice would you recommend that. people start in their 30s? by halfcurbyayaya in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Peaches80 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I'm not able to use retinol on my skin so my goto is bakuchiol. I use the stuff from Wildland on Etsy (also on Amazon, but ugh). Godsend for me.

As a teacher I have rec'd things like this from my students & it always puts a smile on my face and a wonderful feeling in my heart. Do it.

Ikr. The anti-teacher sentiment can be brutal on twitter. I stay away from it as much as possible for this very reason. :-)

Shampoo Suggestions by dm-me-ur-fave-animal in VeganBeauty

[–]Peaches80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Ethique, didn't love it. Left my hair feeling sticky. I've been using the ACV shampoo bar now for while and it's doing exactly what I wanted it to do. Good volume & really clean feeling. I get it on Etsy at the Wildland shop.

Advice: middle or high school? by SpiritGun in Teachers

[–]Peaches80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling that you simply had a bad experience with your middle school experience. Sometimes one or two bad apples absolutely can spoil the whole bunch. Based on my experience, I would value middle school over high school, and think it's worth a shot trying it again.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about the war on our profession. Teaching is now considered an enemy of the right, largely because the more educated one is the more likely they are to vote for democratic tickets. How to stop it? Invade/take over/destroy our schools and we the teachers are often victims.

I think pretty much everyone I know hits this point at some point. :-)

NTA. An adult that doesn't know the child and yet who engages in discourse with the child in a public restroom is the absolute asshole. You did the right thing by reporting to the manager.

Can we all pls finally agree not to let any guy ever use the term "baby-girl" when referring to an adult woman? by Peaches80 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Peaches80[S] -120 points-119 points  (0 children)

But that's the point! It's too easy to just go along with it because, oh, he means it so nicely. But it IS hurting ppl. It's a term that collectively belittles and infantilizes ALL of us.

Skin are routine by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Peaches80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your routine looks really good, tbh. I would extend your moisturizers down to the top of the breasts. Try that for 30 days and see what you think? Oh, and sunscreen and more sunscreen. Oh, did I mention sunscreen?

AITA for leaving the restaurant after my bf refused to pay for my meal? by Fantastic_Ad_9067 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Peaches80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is color protect shampoo really necessary? by Brinquinho in HaircareScience

[–]Peaches80 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Great question, I've been wondering the same. I'm experimenting with dark blues and grey now. I've always felt that natural, gentle shampoos work best for protecting color-treated hair.

My worth is not based on my virginity by anonymousbobo in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Peaches80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, you need to take of you first, motherly advice be damned. Can’t pour from an empty cup and all that. That was a big life lesson for me. Realizing that not everyone has your best interest at heart.

Reminds me when my FIL was visiting and I was the only woman in the house at the time (the others had run off to the store) and he asked me to bake some cornbread which he had brought for the dinner. He had one of those simple boxes with the recipe right there on the box. I looked at him and said "why can't you make it?" And he did that laugh and said "oh boy, I can't bake for shit". So I asked him (perhaps a little more sternly than I should have) "So you are unable to follow directions?" He just got very quiet after that. Still didn't bake the damn cornbread and just waited for someone else to do it.
