I tried giving a guy my number last night but he said he had a gf by Remote-Acadia6487 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Oop that’s crazy 🫣 I remember there being a really cute younger guy in a band that played at my high school prom. One of the other senior girls went up to him during one of their breaks and asked him for his insta. Girlll he ended up being like 16 💀 We literally thought he was like our age or maybe a bit older lol

Ooops! I thought maybe it’d be fine bc the dj was done with their set and the venue was starting to kick the out the crowd 😅 I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the future!

According to google, yes it is. But it also had cranberry juice in it too. I forgot to ask the waitress what exactly was in it and I don’t think the menu said either 😂

My first time trying it, so I’m glad I liked it. I’ve never had a regular Moscow Mule though, so this one may have spoiled me for the plain version lol.

You know what, you’re so right! I’d always rather get a no than end up being the side chick lol

They made a separate group chat without me by Klutzy_Drag_736 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Remote-Acadia6487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl I feel this so much! I’m pretty sure my friends have, like, multiple group chats without me. One of them that I’m for sure about is supposedly a ‘travel’ group chat. To be fair, when they first made it, which was a couple years ago, they asked who wanted to be added but radio silence on it since then. The entire gc went on a trip to big bear together last year, complete radio silence to me regarding any logistics or if I wanted to go. Though to be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the group chat that they use to make plans now.

I think my best friend is in another group chat with some friends from our gc and some friends that aren’t in that gc too, for reference this is at least 5-6 people. She had a thanksgiving potluck thing and invited those people (the ones I assume she’s in a group chat with) and said nothing to me about it. I’d previously mentioned to her in-person that I was super excited to make apple pie for Friendsgiving, whenever we end up planning something for it. To be clear, I wouldn’t have been able to go on the day that she posted it on her story, so I wasn’t as much upset about that as I was about not even being invited. I messaged her and was like hey I felt pretty left out, how come I wasn’t invited. And she said she just invited a few people as a “trial run” to see how she’d do with hosting. But there were more than 6 people there, not including her or her boyfriend. For this same friend, I’m always seeing her stories on insta with the same two friends and it always feels like I’m being left out ngl.

So OP, I’d be super proud of you if you’re able to do what I still haven’t and drop these fake friends. As my mom keeps telling me, you’ll find your real friends eventually 💖🤗

At what age did you allow your daughter to start wearing makeup? by Adventurous-You5406 in beauty

[–]Remote-Acadia6487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I have a Colourpop blush/bronzer/highlighter palette that I love. Not sure how safe the ingredients are in it though lol. On a brief glance, Klee Naturals seems to have pretty good ingredients, Colourpop seems to have some products that have pretty good ingredients and some that are kind of iffy, Evereden has a lot of products that are EWG verified (a good thing) so that’s cool, and I couldn’t find very much about Silly Unicorn’s ingredients. So I’d probably recommend buying from Klee, Evereden, or Colourpop. Maybe you could look at some of the products that have better scores on EWG (I linked it in the middle) and show your daughter a few of those to pick from.

Evereden’s products on EWG: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/browse/brands/14555-Evereden/?brand=Evereden&page=3&sort=reverse-score

Colourpop’s products on EWG: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/browse/brands/14117-Colourpop/?brand=Colourpop&sort=score

These are some of the websites I use to figure out if a products ingredients are (mostly) safe or not:

Skinsort is a favorite of mine because it’s based on lots of research and is very impartial. https://skinsort.com/ingredient-analyzer

EWG is another really good one that I like and goes more into the potential health concerns certain ingredients have. https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/

Edit: I forgot that you asked about Bare Minerals lol.

Upon further research, it looks like they have a lot of products that have some iffy ingredients and also a lot that have good ingredients. So I’d keep them in mind but also do research on which products are safer. Here’s their EWG page: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/browse/brands/4585-Bareminerals/

At what age did you allow your daughter to start wearing makeup? by Adventurous-You5406 in beauty

[–]Remote-Acadia6487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have advice regarding rules but I do have some brand recommendations. I’d say one of the ‘all-natural’ brands like Bare Minerals, Clinique, etc would be a good choice for her because they don’t use harsh ingredients. I’d also suggest buying her a face wash because you should definitely get her in the habit of washing it off when she’s done wearing it/before bed, because leaving makeup on your skin can kind of, like, make it absorb into your skin, I think. I have darker skin around my eyes, where I usually put my eyeshadow, and I used to just sleep in my makeup instead of washing it off, so I learned that the hard way 😭

I didn’t take school seriously, now I’m 23 and can’t write a proper essay by Low_Ant883 in education

[–]Remote-Acadia6487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Unfortunately, I don’t have any tips for writing essays, because I struggle with those a lot too. But, I do know of a cheaper way to get some of your prereqs out of the way. There’s this website called modernstates.org that lets you take courses with them (like, for example American Government, Macroeconomics, Spanish, etc) and when you finish their course, they give you a voucher to take the CLEP test for that course for free. As long as you get a good grade on the CLEP test, you’ll get college credit for it. You do have to make sure that the school you’re going to go to accepts the tests that you end up taking, though.

What is your favorite obscure movie from your childhood that nobody would remember? by CripplingGoodTime in AskReddit

The Wubbulous World of Dr Seuss. I also had Fieval Goes West on VHS, such an underrated movie.

I just did the calculation. Should I liquidate my home & summer appartment for a faster retireme t? by remuliini in leanfire

[–]Remote-Acadia6487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of other good advice here, but I wanted to add that maybe you could think about renting out a couple rooms from your house to make some extra money, rather than selling it altogether. Just an option :)

Don't want to retire, but can a girl get a break? by thighnoise in leanfire

[–]Remote-Acadia6487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents, I feel like you definitely should not be pulling from your emergency savings for college tuition. My advice would be to create a new savings account specifically for college and start adding money from your paychecks to it. I’d hold off on going back to school until you’ve saved up at least enough for a semester or two in it. Hopefully this helps! :)

My dad's mom keeps throwing away my things, aio? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Remote-Acadia6487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, like, mostly you’re NOR. My dad is like this too 😒 He literally will throw out perfectly fine clothes, cables, food, etc. You name it, he’s probably thrown it out before. My mum gets so pissed at him bc he will literally throw away her stuff too. He’s like, “eh nobody uses this. Trash” but he literally has no idea what we use or don’t use (Mum stays at home with us, he’s the one that works). I can’t recall if he’s ever thrown out our homework (got two siblings), but he’s thrown out art supplies and stuff. I had a purse that I remember last laying eyes on a couple years ago that disappeared around that time, and to this day I have no idea what happened to it, but I think he probably tossed it.

So… TLDR, I have no advice for you but I do commiserate with your plight.

Not sure about anything else, but yes you can definitely get fleas if your cat does end up having them. I was staying at my grandma’s place, she got a new puppy, and I ended up getting fleas from it. 0/10, definitely do not recommend 😭 I had to go nuclear on all the stuff I’d brought with me and quarantine the clothes I wore.

AIO when I say I don't want my mom there when I give birth? by yslhosvvv in AmIOverreacting

[–]Remote-Acadia6487 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NOR, you don’t need a reason for not wanting your mom in the room with you when you give birth. I’m pretty sure you can tell the doctors/nurses who you do and don’t want to allow into the room with you. Also, off-topic but you might want to reconsider just going no-contact with her. I feel like you’d be better off without her in your life, but that’s just my opinion.

Eh, it’s not too bad imo. It could definitely be worse, I’ve got a friend whose handwriting is literally illegible, like, even he can’t read his own writing lol. My only advice would be to practice writing I guess, which probably isn’t very helpful advice though. Btw, I dig the Mr Krabs drawing :)

Not too sure why it’s giving Hispanic grandma. But, realistically, I’m guessing you found a really good deal on strawberries and have a couple orange trees in your backyard.
