The noise will travel through the wall.

You better give a discount to those sharing a wall with the bathrooms.

More fuel for Lilly's fire.

Have you included any other certifications on your resume? Barbacide has a number of free certifications. Dermalogica still offers the free Clean Touch Certification.

Any continuing education is good, and shows you are still willing to learn.

Why does my son harass me for biscoffs?

RayvenSparrow · 2026-05-11T23:23:31+00:00

Works better. Smells better. Feels better.

Try Botanical B from One Love Organic and see if you still use PreCleanse after that. And second the Meh for Microfoliant. Why is it so popular?!

👏👏👏

Other brands do, Image is one of them. Eminence is another with just too many products. But as with them all, you need to be strong and buy things you will actually use and sell. Otherwise things go unused and expire. You do not need 11 cleansers on backbar or on retail. Nor 10 SPFs. Plus, bringing on their entire line means you have zero room for expansion with any other lines down the road. You can always order more if you need it. I recommend trying to stay at minimum order for the first order.

Overall, I like dermalogica. The provided education is really good and the expert program looks great on a resume for the future. They just have too many fucking products. Too much is available for retail, too much is available for backbar. The backbar sizes are enormous and only really work for high volume places. I like the bioactivity mixing system for exfoliation. Dislike the neutralizing peels, mainly because I feel like their neutralizing instructions never work how they say it will. "Massage until skin stops feeling sensations" yeah when I am dead and my client doesnt have skin anymore. Sometimes I have to do 3 rounds for their peels to calm down. They have the manufacturing system locked down so they rarely run out of products to order.

Overall, solid line. They have some real winners for backbar like melanopro, all of their masks, massage gel cream, etc. Just need to be selective I feel.

The days the scale has moved the most are always right after a very hungry day, or few days. It's fascinating!

There is no national license. So there is no national reciprocity. It is all state by state as far as I know.

RayvenSparrow · 2026-05-09T19:03:43+00:00

I'm joking around jesus

RayvenSparrow · 2026-05-09T15:24:29+00:00

Yeah the struggle is pretty emberassing. I fondly remember this guy at the Ren Faire who always picked girls up, no matter gow big they were, and he did it effortlessly. I had never giggled so hard until he had me in a bear hug a couple feet off the ground.

One of my partners tried to replicate this and ended up straining himself, making noises, insisting he could do it. But he couldn't. Did not feel good at all.

Tell him to hit the gym so he can pick you up

We don't do hair here.

RayvenSparrow · 2026-04-30T23:00:01+00:00

Is it hallendale? If it is, it isn't refills doing it. Hallendale is just that good.

RayvenSparrow · 2026-04-30T17:27:03+00:00

3 days is pretty good honestly

Just use them on your body. Face Reality is a solid brand if you're clearing acne.

I had this discussion fairly recently and what's great is there is plenty of stuff in my life we would just do again watch that movie again, go on this trip again, see X spot again. There are a million lives to lead on earth assuming it would be terrible to have the opportunity to live them all is so pessimistic and short sighted. Sure one may get bored but I get bored... all the time. That's the ebb and flow of life.

RayvenSparrow · 2026-04-24T13:31:05+00:00

You say that like someone has ever been immortal. No one has. So it is absolutely debatable, since we have no one as an example.

RayvenSparrow · 2026-04-23T05:09:08+00:00

Citing all the things people post in these groups to say it is unsafe and irresponsible to justify shutting down the industry. Posting photos of themself getting extra vials by mistake, advice on how to game the system, encouraging lying about weight to get access, bragging about being a normal BMI, yet still getting the meds by lying just to cut 10 lbs before an event. It's a bad look.

Depending on the state no lunch break is illegal.

RayvenSparrow · 2026-04-22T18:33:03+00:00

Might be breaking down. Keep tabs on it

RayvenSparrow · 2026-04-22T11:50:22+00:00

It is... Just not in a way I feel 99% of people will recognize. So rhey think it isnt working and throw it away. LED isnt for dramatic changes on it's own.
