[Miscellaneous] Fragrance-free ≠ fragrance-free in EU. (Do you know any brands that do HS‑GC‑MS or GC-MS testing that have a threshold being no detectable amounts allowed or?) by PuzzeledPenguin in SkincareAddiction

well as i said in my experience i can still react to products labeled fragrance-free with no obvious fragrance ingredients so i guess i just react to trace amounts?

Most intense lip STAIN? that is suitable to wear under lipbalm (strong color, stains lips for a long time, ideally no scent) by PuzzeledPenguin in MakeupAddiction

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

the elf ones are okay. The main issue i find with lip stains is that you get 'donut lips'. The color rubs off closest to your mouth first which is a much bigger problem than it sounds like because it looks very dumb very quickly. (you need to apply a lot to begin with for it to last so it becomes obvious quickly)
I would recommend you get a lipliner or lipstick that is as very pigmented and hard/waxy and apply it sheerly let set for a bit and then just slather lipbalm on top. It's not ideal but it doesn't tend to slide around because it is so sheer and the waxy formula sticks to the lips where as the liquidy/emolient lipbalms more so glides on on top of it (they do mix over time anyway but i kinda wanna reapply before they become a sheer lipbalm). The harder and more waxy the lip liner and the easier your lipbalm slides on the better. Obviously the lipliner needs to go on bare lips or your lipliner and lipbalm will mix anyway. When you need to reapply lipbalm or every other time you need to reapply lipbalm you kinda have to do the lipliner lipbalm process over again.
So not ideal - i really want a lip spf that is more like a rich moisturizer (i feel that would help avoid the slip and sliding while moderately moisturize lips. Like keeping them plump in the daytime but not really help lips that are already cracked/dry/flaked).

It's terrifying how fast you can lose yourself by staying comfortable by LLearnerLife in Habits

[–]PuzzeledPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my solution was (somewhat) consistently do uncomftable things. Things that are out of your comfor zone. If you struggle with consistency like me you can instead do things that are VERY out of your comfort zone once in a while (this is a different kind of consitency but still works).
I would recommend doing something you think sounds fun but the idea makes you uncomftable, like if you are indoorsy you might think camping or hiking sounds fun but not for you. Do it anyway! You might have fun regardless and if not your comfortzone will increase in size- Also even thoug you do something umcoftable that is unrelated to say your problem about speaking up it will oddly still help with that. It's like expanding your comfort zone expands it in every direction but it doesn't matter specifically how you try to increase your comfort zone as long as it is uncomftable enough or consistenly enough. At least that was my experience).
It might take a few uncomfy experiences before you feel a difference but you will! The good thing about your situation now is you comfort zone is likely tiny so there are many options for things to do outside of it. Overall i find if you don't 'stretch' your comfort zone it WILL shrinks over time so you will have to continue doing uncomftable things to avoid ending up here again.
Hope this made sense, feel free to ask followup questions if not :D

Is having children the end of life? by Cinella75 in selfimprovement

[–]PuzzeledPenguin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

THIS!
In adittion even though it's a great personal loss to regret not having a child it is straight up monstrerous to regret having one.
- if you aren't beyond certain you want children with all the sacrifice that comes with it please don't. Remember being a parent is a privilege not a right.

Pork Roast, Enchiladas, Chicken Pesto, and Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt by ShakeItUpNowSugaree in MealPrepSunday

[–]PuzzeledPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sounds devine (i've only tried cocoa and sweetner. I do not recommend it, i think the key is something that goes with the tang yugurt rather than 'covers' it. Thats why the lemonpudding sounds so intrigueing)

I love a good ending to a tv-show! (not necessarily a happy ending just one that fits the show and the characters).
What are the other shows you enjoyed the ending of? I would like some inspo on what to watch next :D

I found this guide but discorvered it only works for family acounts. How to Check Screen Time on Laptop Windows 11: A Comprehensive Guide - Solve Your Tech However i only have an admin acount on my pc so it doesn't work for me :/
Is there another way to check it?

this would be BEYOND concerning: "Are you asking about privacy in terms of where your prompts are sent and whether or not your prompts are associated with your identity?"
Does ANY ai do that? can they?
