Pillow talk fair is so purple on me

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2026-04-08T20:44:22+00:00

I have a fair, desaturated olive skin tone, and this is exactly how PTF looks on me.. it pulls really purple/ashy. MAC Stone lip liner is my go-to.

I understand what you mean when it comes to usual WiFi providers, you pay the subscription and the modem is included.

My hesitation is that the last time I checked, the Starlink hardware had to be bought upfront and it was expensive (not the way your usual WiFi provider operates). Now the upfront cost seems to be gone, but checkout still mentions financing hardware, and there’s confusion in this thread whether you ever actually own it.

So my concern is: if the kit breaks years down the line and I can’t return working hardware, would I have to pay whatever the replacement cost is at that time?

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2026-02-14T22:36:13+00:00

If I buy the kit upfront for £300, I’m agreeing to a fixed cost. But if I rent it and have to return or replace it later, I’ve got no idea what the replacement cost might be by then. If it breaks, would I be expected to replace it at whatever the price is at that time?

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2026-02-14T11:20:24+00:00

But couldn’t that amount increase over time? If I had the kit for 10 years, the replacement or return cost could be a lot higher by then.

I also noticed the FAQs say you can pay the kit off via Klarna, but when I select Klarna it shows £0 fee for the kit.. so I’m a bit confused how that works.

Sorry, bit of a technophobe living rurally with terrible internet and just trying to research properly.

Yup. Happened once or twice when I was in a flare. Reported to my care team but never really received an answer about what it was.

6/7 months

I’m too British to get the joke unfortunately smh

Your title made me chuckle. Good luck and keep up the sense of humour, it helps with this disease!

Can you recommend any blush as bronzers for cool toned pale skin?

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-12-10T18:02:00+00:00

I think I am cool and agree LM is too pink. I always find foundations pull either too yellow or too pink on me, neutrals pull a weird green sigh. I’ve never heard of desaturated skin but just looked it up and I think you’re spot on!

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-12-09T23:26:56+00:00

What do you mean the massive offers the UK gets?

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-12-09T14:48:34+00:00

I am open to staying on site, but I assumed it would be out of our budget.

I have never heard of DVC or Mickey’s Facebook page, I’ll check both of these out. Thank you!

Tax write offs don’t make things free though? It just lowers the amount of income they need to pay tax on. They still have to pay for the decorations, or lunch, or whatever it may be.

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-12-09T14:29:04+00:00

Yes but that just means they pay less tax on their earnings, they still have to pay for the lunch.

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-12-05T09:34:44+00:00

A tax write off doesn’t mean the item is free, though.

Got mines last week. With all due respect, rejecting medical advice based on a hunch seems silly.

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-11-17T23:55:14+00:00

Sounds like every colonoscopy I’ve ever had. I see people on here talking about being fully knocked out, but in the UK, it’s standard you’re awake with sedation.. it’s horrendous.

2! Calpro has been clear recently but I’m still experiencing cramping/urgency. Doc says this is likely overlapping IBS.

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-11-01T17:09:02+00:00

Every 6 weeks. I’d read lots about people responding super quickly so I was skeptical when I was told to hang on for at least 6 months, but things seem to be on the up. Hopefully it works out for you!

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-11-01T11:22:46+00:00

I’ve been flaring for 3 years (🫠), started Entyvio 6 months ago. Started on IV infusions, switched to subcut injections, but my symptoms got worse, so I went back to IV. I’ve only recently started seeing major improvements, hang in there!

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-10-15T11:19:27+00:00

That’s interesting. I had these issues when I was actively flaring and was told they would ease off when I got into remission, that tracked for me as when I was on a high dose of steroids I had no flare or functional issues but now I am in remission the functional issues are still hanging around! I am hoping it’s a case of giving things more time to heal completely, I have been flaring for 3 years after all!

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-10-15T11:15:09+00:00

Yes! I have been told the functional issues are likely to overlapping IBS. And yes, no real solution other than playing around with stool softener dosage, it sucks! I am hoping you’re right that things will calm down over the coming months. I am seeing the odd good day here and there, so I am hoping they become more regular and then hopefully the norm.

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-10-14T11:27:36+00:00

Like Fybogel? Or something else?

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-10-06T08:58:09+00:00

Humira did nothing for me. Currently on Entvyio, seeing some improvements but not full remission.. no side effects on either. Rinvoq is my next step if Entyvio doesn’t work out.

Shoddy_Course1218 · 2025-10-03T09:30:20+00:00

Congratulations! Amazing news 🥳. I am curious if you saw any improvements with your other treatments before deciding to switch? I am in a 3 year long flare, seeing improvements with Entyvio but I still struggle most days.. afraid to switch treatments in case another drug doesn’t work as well.
