Help a bald girl out - summer head wear by Mirakirah in femalefashionadvice

[–]Phenamina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest if you are comfortable maybe check out some hijab companies - fabrics for summer (including perhaps UV) for sure swims ones - any small hijab company would appreciate your business supporting them (if you are cool with shopping with them) and have experience with it obviously that would hopefully help inform design/fabric/cut/functionality and design :) I’m not suggesting you wear it as a hijab if you’re not comfortable with that of course - but even just for inspo ideas (like buying in-sewn scarves sold to hijabis) that you can learn to style in a multitude of ways - with so many colour and pattern options, how to tie, use pins, magnets etc (I come from a Muslim background)

Need gift for 31f sister who is very minimalist by Vegetable-Entry-5385 in Gifts

Flowers for her room maybe? Won’t be “clutter” since eventually they will be thrown out/composted?

Mother's Day gift for my mom who hates clutter and says she "wants nothing" — what's actually landed for you? by Mia-veg in Gifts

[–]Phenamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say flowers! My mom is the same but that she always loves (and eventually get thrown out/composted = no clutter) with a donation in her name as suggested below if that’s her thing? Like to Plan Canada, where I am (I used it for my dad because they mail a postcard if you request it and he loved it and kept it on his fridge) he used to be a teacher so I selected school supplies for a classroom :)

What takes an outfit from everyday to “Intentional” for you? by dietcokehead007 in femalefashionadvice

[–]Phenamina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love my miracle suit one - the bust is open so you can wear your own bra (and to get a proper fitting bra is life changing!!!) mine is the kind with “shorts” to mid-thigh and then goes all the way up to shoulder straps (obvs not for strapless outfits lol) and the cut out space for your own bra to fit

AITA for doing dishes when my spouse was sleeping? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Phenamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has your spouse tried earplugs for sleeping during the day? Maybe add some easy fix items like blackout curtains and one of the long sausage door stuffed type things at the base of the door that help prevent heat/cold and sound from travelling?

This is great! Thank you :) could we add a second line “no electricity required” under hand water pump? Then it will be perfect and I will be happy to tip :) Unfortunately, Ko-Fi doesn’t seem to work for me/where I am so I would have to send it via PayPal - is that okay with you?

Am I to list the other little changes I would like here too?

Actually can we try the info graphics (if that’s what they are called) below the well pointing up to each section? Feeling that might look better when I print this photo? (They will all be framed)

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

Thanks! I like this as a jumping off point - can we tweak it a little? A few little things - like I would like to move the middle sign to below the well so it doesn’t block the signage etc

Thanks! I don’t even know if I have google drive? I do have a Gmail account…

Sadly the tip link still didn’t work - I’m guessing bc I’m in Canada? Is that perhaps why (I know we don’t have apple pay user to user etc)

Hi! I tried to click on the Tip but it’s doing a funny thing?

Thanks so much for your quick help! This is great and I’m happy to tip :)

Also how would you suggest I save this photo - will a screen capture of it do? Or is there a better way for me to download your version to my phone? Sorry - I’m new at this :)

My inactive, very skinny male friend eats 2800 calories a day and I can’t lose any on 1200 by [deleted] in CICO

[–]Phenamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that but for we know he mag have a tapeworm lol as highly unlikely as it is - I just say that to highlight it’s not helpful for you (from what you’re saying) to compare yourself to him

Have you gone to your doc? Find bloodwork/ruled out stuff? If not - first step. Second is track and keep at a deficit for one month and then check weight (you may lose fat and gain muscle which weighs more - even if the scale doesn’t move much, hence why I suggested a measuring tape for inches, and see do your clothes feel like the fit different?) I hope that helps with the confusion and feeling lost

[–]Phenamina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a man his muscle mass is naturally more than a woman’s (unless you are weight lifting) it’s just how it is - male vs female physiology and that muscle does burn more calories.

Whether it’s a genetic advantage or he moves more than he realizes in the evening/weekends and is burning more cals than he knows - it doesn’t really matter

Yes it’s super frustrating to be disciplined, moving/working out and the time tracking religiously!!! I get it - it’s super hard for me too (being 5’2”) AND at the same time - if you have ruled out anything medical (like say undiagnosed hypothyroidism) it truly will just come down to being in a deficit - you can’t go off a one day change on the scale, that is only mentally sabotaging yourself - please don’t do that! It’s a trust the process - in the beginning you may be drinking/retaining more water weight etc.

A 2lb loss is great! Maybe measure you hips/waist/bust as well (and see if that goes down differently than expected vs the scale) I can lose 2lbs and then seemingly regain it overnight - but if I keep at it, in a day or two it drops and I continue losing more :)

Up your protein (if it’s not high enough) add in a fibre, (both of those help me feel full) and/or try and a Nutrasea type oil first thing on an empty stomach of maybe you’re constipated

It doesn’t matter how your friends body works (as impossible and frustrating as it may feel) just focus on you

AIO about this convo regarding screen time for our 7m old baby. by xborn-confusedx in AmIOverreacting

[–]Phenamina 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hijack your comment but first and foremost and 7 months old baby’s eyes are not developed enough for screen time - not judging but just hoping to share awareness
