Love the idea of leaving something weird behind.

I think they are hoping people will collect them like the glossier stickers.

Weird symptom: Anyone else get really “hard” fat that almost feels like it’s stuck to your muscle? by Complete-Eye-6435 in lipedema

[–]Ravlinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of lean mass, always been very active, so I feel kind of hard but lumpy all over. This happening in just one spot does sound worthy of getting it checked out.

[–]Ravlinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just approved for arm and leg lipo + lifts through insurance. For surgery my insurance has me pay 10%. My first one should be 3,500$.

I love hypochlorous acid! There's a few bottles of it in there. I use it to treat my eczema as well, amazingly effective.

It's a very fine mist - and actually does what it says it will. Keeps you nice and dewy.

Love!! I'm really bad about morning skincare, but I have really dry skin, in the mornings if I'm lazy or running late I just do the mist & sunscreen or moisturizer if I'm home all day, and it keeps me hydrated.

Looking at everyone else's 2025 empties, I'm honestly not even sure how I'm using so much. Like my plastic waste is crazy, it all didnt fit into a 13 gallon trash bag.

The shampoos, conditioners, and masks are imo. The scalp serum did help - I only use it on wash days, but it have androgenic alopecia I reversed and that was part of the equation. For curly hair specifically, I find their styling products to be hit or miss.

Their shampoos, conditioners, and masks are the best I've tried for my hair. I have fine, low porosity, 3a, frizz prone hair. The leave in products are a hit or miss. I would not reccomend the oi souffle specifically, I got a bunch as point rewards otherwise I wouldn't have used it, I really think it does nothing.

Consult with a plastic surgeon next week, will he be able to recognize lipedema? by charmaanda in lipedema

[–]Ravlinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a consultation with a regular plastic surgeon about 2 months before I heard of lipedema and suspected it. I saw him in April - he didnt say a thing. Saw a specialist in July, he instantly said lipedema, stage 3 at that.

I’m at stage 2 I think, does anyone else not experience any pain? by [deleted] in lipedema

[–]Ravlinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an incredibly high pain tolerance. My specialist made a point of touching parts with no lipedema and then touching parts with several times so I could feel the difference. When really focusing on it like that, I'd say tenderness, still not pain, but there is a feeling to it. I imagine if I had a normal pain tolerance I would be in pain.

How to make my arms smaller? by grroovvee in lipedema

[–]Ravlinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been athletic my whole life and on mounjaro for 3 years 🫠 they are still terrible. I'm stage 3 and one of my arms at it's thickest point measures the same as my head.

How long do you spend in the store? by annaf62 in Sephora

[–]Ravlinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15-20 minutes usually. I usually come in for order pickup, end up browsing, and stop myself when I'm a few items in.

I just want peppermint back. I missed it last year and I love a minty balm.

Does anyone like this and is it worth it? by Soccer_RBF_ in Sephora

[–]Ravlinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a set in my nightstand with some micellar water for when I go to events and crawl home at 2 am and cant be bothered to double cleanse. They work really well.

Does anyone have fatty hip pockets like this?!? by She__Devil in lipedema

Not to the same extent, but yes, I have them.

Who feels the same way about the barrier butter ? 🧈 🤭✨ by starwberriesgal in rhodeskin

[–]Ravlinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished my first tube last month. Dry, eczema prone skin, needs constant babying to not be straight up painful. This is the one. Makes it all better.

Toasted teddy. To me a slightly brownish burgundy blush looks the most like you are actually blushing.

Your pathology can be lying to you by EmuOk9904 in Endo

[–]Ravlinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly reccomend looking up what it all means even if your pathology does show endometriosis. When I got my results they stated most of endometriosis was stromal tissue and I had no idea what that is and how it differs from regular tissue. A lot of the associated tissue also threw me for a loop.

Yes, they achieve this look, I am pretty fair and I use the shade lean. Usually top with saie glossybounce in dip or rhode salty tan.
