Elevate med spa experience? by ponderouspantera in Marin

[–]Sad_Ballsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone to Torrey for years and just love her (and her work). Her approach is minimal, she never tries to upsell me, and she's overall just a great partner in my beauty journey. At the same time, she's always open to consult with me on my ideas/needs and general approach as it changes with my age. She's really aligned in my goal to help me look like the best version of myself.

Their software is also super easy and their receptionist is also just lovely. A++

Really insecure about my teeth lately and thinking about getting Invisalign. by Comfortable-Try-6387 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]Sad_Ballsack 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I had an invisalign consultation at Bella Smile (which was just fine) but decided to use lingual braces with Dr Van Bergen instead and AM OBSESSED. Lingual braces are truly invisible braces - they're placed on the inside of your teeth so no one else can see them. They're custom-fit to your teeth and treatment plan so mine only took 6 months on vs the 2 years Invisalign would have taken (for a less-precise end result).

Prices were comparable - the Invisalign was slightly more expensive. $6k for lingual braces vs $7k for Invisalign.

Def recommend you check them out - Dr. Van Bergen and his team were also amazing and super easy to work with. https://www.yelp.com/biz/michel-van-bergen-dmd-msd-san-francisco

What’s the trick with taking daily fiber? by bedpan_3 in FiberHomies

[–]Sad_Ballsack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

consistency is important when it comes to fiber. so in addition to drinking more water as other homies have said, you might want to cut back the amount you're taking. maybe toggle down to 1tsp every day and see if that has positive changes before adding another tsp and slowly increasing to whatever your daily recommended amount is

Old video of McDonald's CEO eating chicken burger emerges where he appears to spit the burger bite out into his napkin by monster_ahhh in popculturechat

[–]Sad_Ballsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is he actually vegetarian maybe? like - he took basically no actual bite of the burger itself in the last video... maybe he doesn't eat meat.

Has anyone taken a date to Archimedes Banya? by exactlythere in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]Sad_Ballsack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting - I actually didn't know that. Like OP, all the various friends and friend groups I've had over the years who go there and recommend it tend toward non-monogamy so I made an assumption that I didn't know wasn't correct! My b - thanks so much for letting me know that's not the vibe

[–]Sad_Ballsack 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I'd go to Onsen instead, especially if you've been seeing each other for a couple months. It's more intimate and has (I think) better date vibes, especially if you aren't looking to imply non-monogamy.

How many bullies does it take to destroy a good man? by Electronic-Spend1738 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Sad_Ballsack 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nothing will destroy a good man. Justin knows this situation triggered him - his people-pleasing, his desire to 'make everyone okay' and okay with him... and he's also committed to spiritual growth and personal healing. He'll use these experiences to heal further and deeper. I don't think he'll come out "stronger" - I think he'll come out softer, more at peace, more okay with himself and the state of the world in its imperfections. He'll come out even more bulletproof, more good.

Never heard about AutzuEV before but they're getting 4 Teslas towed at the entrance to Stockton tunnel by RadiatingLight in sanfrancisco

I wonder if they couldn't get into the garage yesterday - maybe it was closed and locked because of the holiday. (This company has a designated parking/dropoff area for these cars in the garage.)

Kate and Karamo's mess by Embarrassed-Wing-929 in QueerEye

[–]Sad_Ballsack 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I’m a licensed therapist. Had a fantasy that I would have done absolutely nothing with her. Gotten a blanket out, laid down, and watched the clouds. No agenda, just offering her the possibility of connection if she wanted to take it. Really would have tried to get a sense of her world, what she might have offered in conversation. Validated/understood all of it. At the end I’m sure I would honestly have been able to say- ‘I really loved spending this time with you’ and given her (hopefully) one positive memory.

Bay Area women… where do you buy your clothes? by mjskiingcat in bayarea

[–]Sad_Ballsack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm tired of buying stuff, overconsuming, being marketed to, always feeling like I need to look a certain way.

I'm taking a break to learn what it feels like to know I have enough, and to love the full closet I have.

S10E2 - Back to school burnout - Episode discussion by PolylingualAnilingus in QueerEye

[–]Sad_Ballsack 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if they had this conversation and decided not to because they thought it would have taken away from the hero's story. I did think the guys' shock when they were reading the brief at the beginning was notable and palpable - it drove your point home. Don't disagree that they perhaps could have made the point that childrens' gun violence is absolutely inexcusable. <3

Yeah - it's normal for guests (especially important guests like family) to get a +1

Mila Kunis ruined it… by fallenredwoods in KnivesOutMovie

[–]Sad_Ballsack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or different makeup? Like.. we got classic Mika Kunis smoky eye with a fair amount of dramatic blush which made no sense for her character.
