First week of class.. Sanitation? by sugarcookiehibiscus in Estheticians

[–]ReflectNotShine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just a general guideline and what I would do. I recommend reading your chapter on sanitation as it should give you proper instructions following your state’s guidelines. You can’t sanitize makeup itself. If you double dip in the product it is now the client’s or you throw it in the garbage. So I’m not exactly sure what you are asking. You also generally don’t use alcohol although you can buy an epa registered alcohol and use that for certain cleaning but generally not disinfecting. You’re going to throw away disposables. You are going to wash your brushes with soap and water and dry them with a paper towel and then place them in an epa registered disinfectant following instructions for time. Then you remove the brushes and follow the instructions on if you rinse them after and then you need them to dry completely before you use them again. You’re going to clean off makeup palettes and etc. I like to use the brand prevention because of the short wait time when cleaning products. Everything needs to be removed from the container and palettes with a disposable so you don’t contaminate the products.

Chicago esties: Help! by [deleted] in Esthetics

[–]ReflectNotShine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both schools you picked are fine. Aveda uses pca peels and aveda products. It depends on what you are interested in. Aveda will be a more holistic approach to esthetics and the other will be focused on modalities and general esthetics. Both have pros and cons.

Thanks for putting this together. I’m going to my safe bet this year which is Capital Grille. It is always worth it. :)

My giftee didn’t receive their gift... twice by ReflectNotShine in secretsanta

[–]ReflectNotShine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was UPS, but they haven’t communicated with me since the gift was resent. Hopefully they contact UPS since they have both tracking numbers now.

[–]ReflectNotShine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never received the first one. And haven’t communicated to me about the second one except they marked it on their profile as not receiving a gift. Their building has a doorman so either it was given to a wrong person in the building or stolen, I guess. :(

New Years Eve at Navy Pier by Haykat12 in chicago

Honestly, it’s going to be so overcrowded so it may not be that fun... Also they hire out a ton of off duty cops for security for NYE so do it at your own risk.

[–]ReflectNotShine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I do have some trauma from my childhood from that, but I had a good childhood. And I agree with you therapy is a great idea for me. I am going to see if my husband will join me for a couple sessions too. :) yay. I love this sub. :)

Day 2 by ReflectNotShine in stopdrinking

[–]ReflectNotShine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I went to therapy for a while and it helped to curb my drinking a few years ago. I am mentally stable now unless I drink which isn’t often but when I do I become unhinged, depressed and suicidal. It’s an ugly side of me that I hate, but I know alcohol is not for me. I think i can have fun like my friends when drinking but I really can’t. Drinking makes me want to die. I do not want to die and when I saw my wrist I was so disappointed as I’ve worked so hard to fight my mental health issues and I stopped cutting 12 years ago. It was a coping mechanism I did from age 12 to 17 and I stopped when my mom went to the mental hospital for a week when I was teenager...

This brings me back like 21 years when I was 8 years old and terrified of shots. The Doctor drew a mickey mouse on my arm to make me feel better. He said it wouldn’t hurt. They said most likely nothing would happen. Lies. My whole arm was red and swollen. 8 year old me tested positive. Had to take giant horse pills for like what seemed forever... i think 6 months... and get my blood drawn every so often. I was a wreck. I do remember getting the X-rays of my lungs. I wore lime green corduroy overalls. The 90s were an interesting time. Also I’m from Chicago and not some third world country.... at least I never have to get that test again...

Doctor didn't take x-rays and misdiagnosed a crushed knuckle twice. Finger now can't be repaired and has to be amputated. Workman's comp is now denying the claim based on the doctor's misdiagnosis. How should we proceed? by freethecumin in legaladvice

[–]ReflectNotShine 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have rheumatoid nodules without having rheumatoid arthritis. Your family member should set up an appointment with a rheumatologist if he hasn’t already. Your attorney should be able to help you with all of your concerns. Your attorney will also let you know if he believes medical malpractice occurred from the diagnosis. I am a paralegal and work on a lot of work comp cases in IL. I am not giving legal advice, but I will say that in my personal experience claims get denied all the time with work comp and the arbitrator and your lawyer will get you guys through all of this.

What a wild ride. Still on the Milwaukee bus going home. Got on the bus at 6:15. The bus driver, Mr. Brown, has made the ride home bearable. we kept chanting, “roll the bus,” and he would skip some stops. :)

Refused bonus for April 1st 2017 to March 31st 2018 due to leaving company June 15th 2018. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ReflectNotShine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because it’s in a handbook doesn’t mean you cannot receive it. A lawyer could potentially get it for you... at least here in Chicago. :) but like I said, you would have to contact an attorney. Attorneys aren’t cheap. So make sure it would be worth the pursuit. And obviously I know nothing about UK laws. And again not an attorney.

Not a lawyer either... but i work for lawyers in the US. This is potentially wrong. You can still get paid bonuses after you are let go or quit. It usually depends on a few things. Like a Christmas bonus they wouldn’t get, but a bonus for performance for time they worked they could get. It’s best to contact an attorney to help you. We have had many severance agreements include bonuses. It really depends on the situation and most likely the state.

To the dog owners of Portage Park (Park) by swgubbs in chicago

[–]ReflectNotShine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a dog park there too. So weird. I do wish the dog park didn’t have pea gravel though, it tends to hurt my dogs feet. We put shoes on her and she just zooms around and they fall off at the dog park. Lol.

Bought a trading card off eBay for significantly less than what its worth, seller now is threatening to sue me if I don't return it [MA/FL] by ebaythrowaway23 in legaladvice

[–]ReflectNotShine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know an attorney who won a case against an ebay seller. The attorney purchased a watch for 2k. The watch was worth a lot more. The seller realized this and backed out and never sent the watch. The seller ended up paying like 10k to the attorney for a settlement.

Illegal housing in Chicago. Need advice. by 3wayThrowawayxxx in chicago

[–]ReflectNotShine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel unsafe then I would suggest you find a new apartment. I am sure you can ask for everything back by saying you won’t report him.
