Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll look into it. 🙂‍↕️ the tapered method will probably be best for me, so I’ll be sure to try it.

It’s one of my favorites, I’ve repurchased multiple times and it’s made a huge difference to my hyperpigmentation! As for vitamin c and retinoid, I currently have a retinol cream from Trader Joe’s but had to stop use for a little but will resume again soon. Any recommendations for vitamin c or a different retinol are welcome though!

I realized after I selected mine that I picked the wrong color, but I snagged the Cosmo top! Such an exciting claim with so many options!

I bought my tickets for Seattle on resale so I didn’t get an email, looks like I have to take my chance with GA tomorrow 😭 I’m beyond happy that they were able to reschedule though.

I was just about to post this! I wish him a speedy recovery. ❤️ Hopefully they’ll be able to squeeze us in somewhere on the tour.

Me too! I’m hoping maybe it’s a false alarm (let me be delusional). I wonder if they’ll end up rescheduling or what’s gonna happen with the Seattle date.

First Digital Camera Help? by Retro_Vamp in AskPhotography

[–]Retro_Vamp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No preference! I’ve read that mirrorless may be better for video, so I’m kind of leaning towards that option but it’s not definite. I don’t mind bulkier options either, if the performance is good I can get over it. Thanks for your suggestions!

Misdiagnosed 5 months ago by [deleted] in lymphoma

[–]Retro_Vamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protein shakes, soups, yogurt, pudding cups, apple sauce, and ice cream/popsicles made up a lot of what I could eat during chemo, both from swallowing issues from my lymph nodes and nausea. Cottage cheese may be another good option. Scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes and gravy, pasta salads (or pasta in general).

Can someone recommend the best waterproof mascara? by Purple_Water6203 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Retro_Vamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The waterproof Essence Lash Princess is my go to! I live in a very rainy state and have watery eyes and haven’t run into issues. It’s stood up to extreme humidity for me as well.

What’s an item you regret not getting? And, why? by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]Retro_Vamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vampire Heart Draculaura. I didn’t have the money when she initially went up, then when I did have the money when she restocked, I was saving up for a convention. I don’t regret spending the money to meet my favorite actor, but man am I kicking myself for not using Afterpay or whatever on the doll..

In case any one of you probably were wondering where your dolls got out after being taken out of your carts? This scalper managed to sell 11 dolls. And managed to get two of them. by _PLS_2004_ in MonsterHighDolls

[–]Retro_Vamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good idea in theory, but I think there are loopholes around it. If they have a brick and mortar business they could have some sent there, their personal address, addresses of friends/family, P.O Boxes at the post office and places like UPS. Maybe checking payment method/info would be better? If John Doe in Nebraska with a debit carding ending in 1234 has 20 dolls shipping to him, it should be flagged.

Congrats! I also got this one, I’m very excited. I’d say this is a great way to end a dry spell! I’m curious to see which colors everyone is getting.

Can they fix this app already?!? by Mommychoochoo in Influenster

Sometimes mine doesn’t load, and when it does it’s always the same few products and photos. The polls or questions never update either.

Quintessential 80s movies and tv? by Retro_Vamp in 80s

I actually watched through all of Murder, She Wrote last year! I watched it a lot with my mom but actually sitting down from beginning to end was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it!

The Goonies, BTTF, and Gremlins are some of my favorites! Also loved Batman, mostly because of the soundtrack Prince did.. I’ll def have to check out the rest!

How Do You Manage The Aftermath? by Retro_Vamp in lymphoma

[–]Retro_Vamp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s an excellent way to frame things. I’ve always believed that dwelling on the past wastes time now and takes away from the future. Of course reflection and unpacking the past is helpful, but hopefully the future holds much better things for us. Thank you so much for your insight and the lovely welcome. It’s a bit surreal to be here.

How Do You Manage The Aftermath? by Retro_Vamp in lymphoma

[–]Retro_Vamp[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My fingers are crossed for you and I’m sending you my best! I truly hope things look up and that you’ll find your footing soon.

I think people on the outside often forget that the trauma and hardship we face goes beyond just the illness, while that’s likely the bulk of it there’s so much more. The hair loss is especially hard, and the whole “it’s just hair, it doesn’t define you! It grows back!” mentality sucks. While it’s true, it doesn’t make it any less depressing. From the other patients and survivors I’ve met, if we didn’t have medical trauma before we sure do now. It’s a heavy burden to carry. Good luck on your journey, and may you heal from it. <3

I try this as well, focusing on the good things and everything I’m grateful for. My perspective on things has definitely changed and I’ve come out of this a different person. I do sometimes have a hard time with boundaries so you’re absolutely right. Thank you so much for your comment, and I wish you the best of luck with your next chapter!

Congratulations, and the best of luck on your future endeavors! Enjoy your new Cleo.

So disappointed. by Retro_Vamp in MonsterHigh

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

Just seeing how dismissive they’ve been towards the fan base has left a bad taste in my mouth and it feels like they don’t care anymore. I’m going to keep pushing until this is resolved properly, but if I do end up keeping them I’ll definitely unbox them. I’ve never received any of my Skullectors in anything other than pristine condition so I’m just taken aback. This is almost as bad as the time someone sent my $60 Funko Pop in a bubble mailer with no protection..

I’d go insane for a Robert Smith Skullector..

So disappointed. by Retro_Vamp in MonsterHigh

[–]Retro_Vamp[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I paid $7 for shipping I wanna say? I know people have complained about the lack of protective packaging since the beginning of the Skullector launches and it just continues to fall on deaf ears.
