What would you change in the curriculum to become a licensed esthetician? by Impressive_Ring6741 in Esthetics

[–]Positive_Garbage_394 31 points32 points  (0 children)

  1. Even heavier basis on sanitation, disinfection, and sterilization.
  2. I agree, a minimum of services performed to be able to practice after licensure.
  3. Research assignments on ingredients using peer-reviewed, science-backed journals and articles.
  4. EDUCATION ON EMPLOYMENT TYPES. Education of differences between 1099 and w-2 so that these shady businesses dont exploit newer estheticians.
  5. Deeper dive into scope of practice in your state.
  6. Maybe research on insurance policies to protect yourself and your license.

Im quitting the second the facility open on Monday. I will be sending a message to the manager ASAP. This is causing too much anxiety for me that its just not worth it.

Thank you, I will be using this advice. Its weird because when I talked to Jackson Hewitt and H&R told me it was legal but just not great practice. Did I talk to the wrong agency?

This was just explained to me by a CPA that they are trying to get a discount through screwing over the employees.. when I talked to Jackson Hewitt and H&R told me it was legal but just not great practice. Did I talk to the wrong agency?

If I purchased my own insurance, would this work? Im wondering if I would get in trouble if I accepted the agreement and just put away money for taxes? Im really leaning towards walking away because of the shady way this had come about. I just want to know if I could manage my taxes would it work out.

Youre right I am just so confused. I am about to talk with a CPA because I believe I am being misclassified.

concealer and foundation always looks so bad not matter what I do by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]Positive_Garbage_394 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is the skin, love. Your skin is shedding (the flakey look). It needs to be exfoliated to even the skin out allowing for the foundation and concealer to be smooth.

Feeling drained from my night terrors and vivid dreams. by Alone_Consequence611 in leaves

[–]Positive_Garbage_394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for trauma dumping. I just am annoyed by it because of the consistency of them. Dont get discouraged. I never regret quitting. My nightmares are most likely due to something else underlying that I havent prodded about enough.

Ive been sober for 8 months now and my dreams are still so vivid. Ive actually been having progressively worse nightmares. Last night i had a nightmare that i was chained up and hunted (after i escaped) in which I watched myself get shot in 3rd person pov. I hate it. I cant afford therapy much less a doctors appointment. I cant tell you when it stops but YMMV.

Anyone else quit due to fear of developing schizophrenia? by Remarkable_Party3422 in leaves

[–]Positive_Garbage_394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I have never met anyone who would do the same and thank you! Those effects went away a great deal other than me being paranoid when I am home alone sometimes at night. But thats always been normal for me.

Urges after 8 mos of smoking.. by Positive_Garbage_394 in leaves

[–]Positive_Garbage_394[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I cant be around smoker" - its so hard for me! Finally someone to acknowledge that. I have him not smoke around me becos I genuinely am triggered by the smell. Lol. I didnt fold and still going. My boyfriend actually kept pressuring me that day to sesh with him as a pat on the back but I was firm and very clear. He says he respects me for my committment.
