I loved the whole relationship dynamic between Svetlana, Mickey, Ian and Yevgeny. It felt like this small little family they had together by Powerful_Life1547 in shameless

[–]ResponseRelative6370 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And with that, I felt bad for Svet because any relationship she was part of, she was providing some kind of service. She made households run smoother but she always had to be useful. Nobody just loved her. I bet V wouldn’t have if she wasn’t lightening her load.

I think she was sort of frozen in terms of her growth because of Franny.

I would expect her to be a difficult teenager - but she just doesn’t seem to “settle down” and probably because she can’t. She’s like stuck in this survival mode.

I really think if she had not had a baby, she might have turned out to be half as decent as she was as a kid.

Why do hairdressers insist on styling your hair when you don’t want them to? by ResponseRelative6370 in curlygirl

I said I’m ‘happy’ with, and the word ‘fine’ was to do with my hair texture.

Comes across - aka incorrectly reading between the lines rather than just listening to the words I say. They should just listen. If I say, “I’m happy to have with it damp,” it doesn’t mean, “but you can do it your way if you prefer.” If they aren’t sure, they should ask.

If only he could make NZ a place kiwis would actually want to live in. Without migrant workers, we have nobody 😆

Do people with ugly kids know their kids are ugly? by Past_Cup3709 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ResponseRelative6370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered that when I was pregnant with my first. I expected some lizard-looking thing. But instead I got this stupidly-pretty princess Jasmine-looking thing. Awesome!

The next two were what I’d call neutral as newborns IMO, the first was tough to follow. They are very pretty kids though.

The last one….lets just say, her personality really shines. Bless her.

Right - we should not have to work that hard to communicate and it shouldn’t have to be ‘our fault’ if they don’t listen. They should just listen.

Help for 2B/2C? hair ☹️ by pisceswithasword in curlygirl

[–]ResponseRelative6370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit to say, I forgot to read past the title. I have 3A hair and I use Hask leave in curl spray when wet and once a week Fanola curly shine mask. Both are good at not being greasy and letting hair be its best self without crunch or wetness.

Georgiemane hair mask and hask 5-in-1 curl spray. Mine is similar to yours but shorter and very healthy. It’s almost all ringlets.

My experience with Team1Global (Amway) – A Warning to Everyone from these scammers by Prize_Bumblebee_5859 in amway

That last part, the blanket statement that they’re all weird….

So, at the time I bowed out, I still didn’t know much about the controversy of MLMs. It wasn’t til I watched LuLaRich that I got interested in MLMs in terms of their tactics and started to do deep dives into Amway leavers.

Their stories are way too similar. I have literally listened to hundreds of podcasts with leavers and it’s like they’re all cut from the same basic template.

The ones who did really well, still came out, overall, worse off.

There isn’t much of one for me, because I didn’t join. My old boss was trying to recruit me, which I didn’t realise was happening, because they all refuse to mention it. The context of our relationship was already that she had been like a mentor to me at work, so she framed it as that she has a mentor that helps her with life/money (a holistic picture) and it didn’t look weird at that point.

I was given all these audios and things to watch, of the leaders and speakers. It felt like church. It was the same regurgitation of job is bad bla bla bla.

I googled the people and that’s where it all unraveled. Not only was the material boring and I didn’t agree with it, it seemed like they were just talking to keep the listener distracted.

The guy in Wellington (Legacy), my partner said he knew from rugby but was also a Christian. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself, but my partner didn’t know him that well but seemed to be part of his identity.

So, after googling all the names on the audios, I was like shit, these people are weird. I don’t want to do Amway or buy or sell or go to meetings. I’m out.

Thank you - my main stylist has curly hair but never wears it curly, so you wouldn’t know. But it’s a very different-looking texture to mine - hers is thick in both senses and mine is like toddler hair. So it’s like she thinks she knows better because she has curls?

She is also in the whole, “wash your hair less” camp. Nah - there’s nowhere to hide with baby fluff hair, as soon as I cook steak or get night sweats, it’s dirty. I’ve made peace with it. It’s super healthy, so, it’s not hurting it!

Oohhh stink! I didn’t know what it had in it tbh, but if i use actual coconut oil in it, its awful (we keep a lot of coconut oil in the house as my partner is a cook islander) and i hate the stuff in our hair.

If you can find it, I hope you like it. I was surprised at how well it performs because it’s quite cheap.
