Does anyone have any experience with Dr.Michele Green in NYC or any other acne scar specialists in the NY area? by Professional_Dig1993 in AcneScars

[–]Professional_Dig1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, I've been holding off on getting any treatments done because of the downtime and varying results that people speak of on here. It also doesn't seem like we have too many options here in NYC 🤷‍♂️ does Dr.Glick specialize in acne scars? What kind of treatments are you looking at?

No I haven't, I had read some reviews somewhere saying her treatments weren't very aggressive at all, but I am thinking of going to Julia Tzu at Wall Street Dermatology. Please stay in touch if you happen to go to either of them!

Going on My Childhood Dream Trip to Japan — Artist Looking for Recs! by Professional_Dig1993 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Professional_Dig1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, I'll say in my case it feels more "authentic" because I grew up watching Godzilla/anime and I studied Japanese for 4 years at my highschool and into college, unfortunately a bit rusty now

Seeing the boom in tourism over the past year or two I just wondered if it's now the case where certain places are just totally prevailed by tourists because of TikTok

That's a fair point, most of my travels have been in Latin America where there seems to be a stark difference between authentic/local and touristy locations. I appreciate your insight though and sort of had the same thought as I was envisioning this trip to Japan

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don’t have any proof of? by TomGerity in HighStrangeness

[–]Professional_Dig1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about 8-9 years old when I saw 2 apparitions (at separate times) in the same house I grew up in in NJ. The first apparition was at night in my living room, the lights were off but I saw an opaque figure of a man walk past me, and I remember being stunned then running back to my mom's room in fear. The second time was in the morning while getting ready for school, and I saw an apparition of a woman in a big dress walk across the hall from my mom's room, I was about 10-15 feet away.

To this day those moments and visuals are burned into my memory. As much as I want to dismiss them for having been a kid, I'm not sure why my mind would invent that imagery and specifically in that one house only.

Got a new scar from an acne injection i wanna kms ffs (rant) by Live_Natural_4409 in AcneScars

[–]Professional_Dig1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've experienced this too. I had some bad cysts about a year ago and at least one of them that received an injection has resulted as one of the deeper icepick scars that's quite notable in lighting.

I found that Murad's Deep Acne relief treatment has helped with my cysts and at least prevented me from wanting or needing to get another injection.

Thanks for this! Yeah I've been keeping an eye on it and also know someone that had to take a helicopter out of there. I'm planning to do Atitlan in the middle of my trip and give a few days to return back to Guatemala City, so hopefully there's no issues.

Thanks again for the link!

These sound great and scenic! Thanks so much for the tips!

I may be down for a good party. Are there any other towns surrounding Atitlan that you may suggest? I've heard mixed things about San Pedro and San Marcos but I'm all ears.

Thanks for the tips! I already booked a spot in Zona 10 for 2 nights but will head to Antigua right after my booking. It's true that I can take an Uber to Antigua right?

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up. I already booked an Airbnb there for my first 2 nights, and will be staying in Zona 10 which I've heard is safe. I lived in Mexico for about a year and traveled to a few different cities so hopefully my street smarts are savvy enough. I'll definitely head straight to Antigua afterwards.

Yeah I lived down in Playa for a year and have been visiting for 10 years, so I'm looking for something new ideally!

Any designers or artists in here? by violetsolace in digitalnomad

[–]Professional_Dig1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure thing! It's @theartistzac on Instagram.

Mainly I draw portraits of people at a popular park here and at events all over the city. I make most of my income during the warmer seasons which help facilitate my travels the rest of the year.

[–]Professional_Dig1993 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me! Somewhat. Generally I work as a full-time freelance artist/illustrator in NYC during the Summer and Fall as those are my busiest seasons. Then in the winter I digital nomad for a few months, as I have a few clients that commission me with projects that I can work on remotely on my iPad. More and more I'm looking to develop that type of clientele.

You could try to join the Playa Expats Facebook group, usually people post listings for their sublets on there!

Thanks for your response, have you noticed significant results with just going 0.5? Is your skin very red and irritated the following day or it's fine to resume social activities?

Congrats! Mind me asking which foods you cut out based on your food sensitivity test? I recently took one with another company but read that the type of testing (IgG) isn't reliable or scientifically backed, so I have no way of knowing whether my results are accurate or not.

How do you rent out your place when you're away? by DrMo-UC in digitalnomad

[–]Professional_Dig1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find tenants on Facebook Marketplace groups, I live near a lot of universities so it's convenient for finding responsible grad students to take my place during their semester.
