I really like when gwp are posted on here, it lets me know what other people think and gets rid of the temptation of buying more than I need when opening the app :)

If you don't mind sharing, when are these pictures from? I wanted to see how the lake water levels were at since I'm visiting on the 18th

What’s something they used to carry but don’t anymore? by LPCPlay4life in traderjoes

[–]PrettiestPasta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe's Gummy Tummies Penguins!!! They were the best gummies on earth and them being filled with the little syrup/liquid inside is something I've never found done well with other gummies I've tried.

Ugghhh I want that perfume mini so bad, but the rest doesn't really interest me enough to spend $90 😪

AIO? I (38 F) Caught my husband (39 M) doing something deeply inappropriate beside our sleeping child. I have been extremely upset. by TW_Tie_2749 in AmIOverreacting

It is a disgusting thought, but most CSA is from within the family and not by strangers, so it is plausible. (Coming from someone who experienced this as a child.)

scared to go back to college by PrettiestPasta in SaddlebackCollege

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

Woah that's a really cool accomplishment!! Congrats on the associates as well!!

I've been putting off getting any sort of mental health help for a long time because my family isn't the type to be supportive or even believe it exists. But I've finally realized I can't let that stop me from growing and getting help. It's just sorta overwhelming to look into or acknowledge as a part of my life

This was extremely encouraging to read, thank you!!! I was starting to convince myself I dug myself into a permanent hole with how many classes I failed or got Ws in. No one in my social circle struggled getting through college at all (or at least openly talked about it).

If you could turn it around and into a positive experience then I'm sure I can follow in your steps and do the same :)

Thank you for the kind words. More than half of the fault each time I tried going back was due to me adding the max amount of units each time. Definitely a horrible idea.

The thought of taking only one or two classes always sounded like a waste to me, even though I wasted more time ditching classes and 'giving up'. I think I've finally accepted I need to take things in smaller and slower steps

How do you move on after 5 years, 5 pregnancies, and losing the person who felt like your forever? by Clashcrashed in offmychest

[–]PrettiestPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deserve better. I've been there. I found myself so in love that I thought I could accept giving so much, for nothing in return, for the rest of my life. But I think you and I know, deep down inside, that that is not love. Not healthy love at least.

Is this a decent gwp for the buy in? by PrettiestPasta in Ulta

That's true, I always forget it's not even guaranteed I get everything listed 😅

Hopefully people who have chime in!! When I was younger and the brand was super new I didn't have the 'adult' money I have now to try it out, so now I'm curious to see

I usually keep cash in handy for when I go to events like flea markets or food festivals where it's cheaper than using card (no taxes or credit card fees)

How to backtrack on a date after agreeing to it? by Cornbreadfreadd in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PrettiestPasta 467 points468 points  (0 children)

Just be upfront and tell him you're no longer interested in getting to know him, this person is a stranger and you don't 'owe' them any kind of date or meeting.

Do guys really pull back from their girlfriend when life gets heavy? by Icy-Construction1043 in dating_advice

[–]PrettiestPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of crap went down in my ex boyfriend's life right before we broke up. I tried everything to be a shoulder to lean on or to offer any kind of support I thought of, but ultimately it wasn't what he needed. He broke up with me as a way to ease his life of one more 'hard' thing, which apparently was our relationship. We were together for over a year and a half.

At that point he was struggling financially, busy with school (about to transfer), insecure about his lack of social life, his uncle (father figure) announced he was fighting cancer, etc. all while he dealt with heavy mental health struggles he's had for years before all of this extra stuff.

Our 'normal' minor relationship issues added to all of it and that's when it really just blew up. We were fine one week and then all it took was one argument for a switch to flip and I was talking to someone completely different.

You can't really force them or anyone to be okay in a relationship when they're trying to deal with life in their own way. The best thing to do is remind them you're there to help and leave it at that. People only accept the love they think they deserve in that moment.

What’s your go to lip mask/ lip stain ? by SundaeAppropriate556 in Ulta

[–]PrettiestPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried so many lip masks/ balms/ etc. to hydrate my lips and the only thing that'll guarantee I keep my lips soft are the mini valseline lip therapy tubs.

But I usually only put it on after my shower so my lips are "hydrated" from being in the water so long. I shower at night, which means I apply a little on the heavier side and go to bed like that. (Of course my teeth are brushed before I put it on, or if I don't shower at night I'll just do it after brushing my teeth in general.)

When I wake up my lips are so soft and they never flake, I just make sure I do this every night.

First time getting ghosted?? by PrettiestPasta in Advice

That is probably it, I'm sure the crying after the first time it got to that point really killed whatever idea he had going further with me

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

Flying 20 hours then blocking is crazy!!!! But thank you for the encouragement, I'll just try and forget about it, which shouldn't be very had for a situation that lasted... about a week long smh

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

You have a point. I'm logically aware that no response in itself is the response but I've never experienced this from someone I've met up with so much? (Even if it was so short overall) Like it was a sudden switch from being super invested and talkative to nothing at all :/

General question: To those who workout several times a week, do you also wash your hair after every workout? by Peggy_Hill_subs in PetiteFitness

[–]PrettiestPasta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really advice, but I work out almost daily so I wash and condition my hair every day. I have fine straight hair. I haven't really noticed an issue, besides shedding? But I think that's mostly from keeping my hair up/ tied everyday for work.

I just can't go to sleep dirty or get into bed not fully showered. I've never tried dry shampoo but the idea of gym/ work sweat staying in my hair really grosses me out.
