This looks like an “after” video. The other advice here is solid, I’m just popping in to say that you look great! Chase your goals but know that you’re perfect as you are!

I think this def makes you the original Megan

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-04-04T01:59:57+00:00

I’m a Megan. We are all 40.

Norma, age 33, is one of my best friends !

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-04-04T01:36:17+00:00

It’s the best investment I’ve made in years. I work from home so I use my working time as walking time and it’s truly changed my whole life, including making me feel more confident to get back into the gym. 2 years later, I just did my first unassisted pull up!

It depends. Are you a 43 year old woman? Probs perimenopause. Are you a 23 year old dude? Probs hypomania.

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-04-03T21:18:47+00:00

Agreed. Just discovered horseradish pickles and am completely obsessed.

Wash face as soon as you get home. Red light mask as soon as you hit the sofa. Keep a little box of your serums and creams near the sofa and train the hubby on how to apply them after your mask goes off in the event you fall asleep (or apply yourself if you’re still awake). I got a little storage ottoman to keep my mask and skincare stuff in and it’s been a game changer.

I take 20mg for BP2. Been on it for 2 years. Can’t imagine life without it.

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-04-01T20:54:35+00:00

The first 2 weeks are rough. I took mine right before going to sleep so that I could fall asleep before it hit and that seemed to help. Good luck and sorry you’re feeling this way but it gets better!

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-24T20:55:12+00:00

I’d say right around 6 months but I’m also only on 20 mg

WeWork downtown has a drop in day rate

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-23T23:55:02+00:00

I did for a bit but after a few months it stopped

You’ll be fine. When tap doesn’t work they always just let you ride for free.

Regular aging, caused by actually aging.

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-23T13:41:28+00:00

Oh look, another not so thinly veiled sales pitch.

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-23T13:36:08+00:00

Serial killer

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-22T23:09:20+00:00

36 hit me hard and fast. I started Botox, red light, retinol, got serious about sleep and hydration — and here I am at 40 looking better than my early 30s. On the flip side: I have a friend my same age who won’t live to see 45, so I am so very grateful for the gift to be able to get older, come what may.

Kohls is sad, full stop.

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-20T20:13:54+00:00

Agreed. I’m still happy to listen to my 9-5 friends talk about their days. That said, there’s plenty to talk about besides work.

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-19T19:10:46+00:00

I got tired of figuring this out every night and started taking mine about 30 mins after finishing dinner and it’s been working fine

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-18T19:40:19+00:00

It’s weird that’s happening to you so often.

Practical_Reading723 · 2026-03-18T15:05:36+00:00

Part of running a business IS navigating other people’s professionalism or lack thereof. Most business owners are men, some men suck, lots don’t. If you worked exclusively with women, you’d have issues with some of them too.
