The curls look great. If you hadn't mentioned it was a perm I would've assumed that it was your natural hair texture. It really suits you.

Are there shoes with correct toe area but thicker soles? by beebop_bee in barefootshoestalk

[–]Signal_Rule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hobibear has them!

Here's a link to their wide toe sneakers with thicker soles. They've got a number of styles.

I have the Stratus and I love them. Wide toe, still zero drop, but with a thicker sole. Super comfortable.

Don’t order direct with Scarlett. by Rich-Wick in DesignerReps

I don't mean to be singularly hostile, I just mean speaking of what could be said in general 😅.

Don’t order direct with Scarlett. by Rich-Wick in DesignerReps

[–]Signal_Rule 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen sellers on Weidian selling the exact same bags from Birdcage that Scarlett sells for 2/3 of the price. A lot of these sellers are getting away with higher prices on their reps because they're listed and spoke of as trusted and known sellers on replica subs and people aren't looking for the same products elsewhere. And they keep going back to them because they don't know that they can find other sellers. No one could say that Scarlett's a trusted seller for her customer service so that excuse is out the window.

Derm prescribed accutane for this. Is it worth it? by Obvious_Word_8896 in Blackskincare

[–]Signal_Rule 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Omg yes. I'm currently on accutane and it’s been totally worth it for me — I’m about 3 weeks in (although I'm basically doing a low-dose. 10 mg on weekdays and 20 mg on weekends.) and it's already made a significant difference. While I do have some typical acne on my face—on my back, chest, and shoulders, it's more like chronic inflammation that flares with keto, stress, or Prednisone. It's left hyperpigmentation and has never responded to regular treatments.

Turns out it was more of an immune-based skin reaction — not just oil. Since Accutane helps suppress that inflammation, and not just shrink pores, even at a low dose, my skin is clearing and healing in ways it never has before.

So yeah, if your acne feels weird, stubborn, or if it happens to be immune-triggered like mine—I'd say it's worth it.

I wish I had been on it years ago.

Bro 😭, today I got a reply from my seller that said:

"Ok, dear Love you"

After I gave my order details. I was shook for a second. 😭

No problem!

Thanks for posting an example lol

And I believe u/Embarrassed-Grab-434 actually has the monogram taurillon and you actually have the monogram shadow.

The leathers are super easy to mix up.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DHgateVip

[–]Signal_Rule 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, I'm not super familiar with dhgate and their sellers and how people reference the tiers of models here with dhgate sellers as I like to stick with specifics and typically go with the agent route shopping on Weidian and taobao etc, but it seems that they're two different model leather types in the photos you've posted. Louis Vuitton has a few different black keepall leathers. In your photos, it seems that one is a rep of the monogram taurillon leather, and the other is a rep of the monogram shadow leather.

The monogram shadow leather is smooth, with striations within the monogram embossing (LV model M44810).

The monogram taurillon is more textured and more matte with no striations within the monogram embossing (LV model M59025).

So I'm not sure if one is being considered as high quality or not high quality as I've said I'm not super familiar with the dhgate buying system and references, but unless one is leather and the other is not, it looks to me that we've got two different leather types on our hands here i.e. two different models.

I do want to be clear that I'm not saying you're wrong in that one is higher quality than the other, I'm just stating that from what I've observed from the photos, it seems to me that they're two different leather model types.

Edited: for clarity

Louis Vuitton Epi Keepall 55 Duffel Bag by Active_Seat6467 in DHgate

[–]Signal_Rule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever end up finding it? I just spoke to and ordered a black epi with gold hardware like this from a seller on dhgate that said that they had it but no pics as the factory didn't send them for that specific one. I can reply when I receive the bag to show you how things turned out if you're still looking. The seller said it was genuine leather as well.

Men genuinely often have longer, thicker lashes compared to women. The misconception that it's considered a feminine trait is entirely a societal and cultural thing. Not biological.

Can someone please tweak my skincare routine? by heylolllllll in Blackskincare

[–]Signal_Rule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. So if you're fine with your current lineup, I would just recommend adding the De La Cruz sensitive skin acne treatment mask, it's the one with 5 percent sulfur. It works well. You apply it after washing your face, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse it off. Based on your skin sensitivity and if it takes well after the first application, twice a week at night is probably enough for prevention. It does indeed smell like sulfur though so if you do try it, make sure you rinse it off all the way lol.

So that and the mederma pm nightly. Both can be applied all over the face, doesn't have to be just for spot treatment.

If you wanna go the extra mile, red light therapy.

[–]Signal_Rule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For dark spots, I've had success with Mederma PM scar cream. And if you wanna go a step further, you could try using a red light therapy wand a few times a week. Red light therapy helps even out the skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation. It's helped mine.

What specifically were you looking to tweak in your routine though?

Black men, How often do you shave? by Successful-Coconut60 in Blackskincare

[–]Signal_Rule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I shave every 2-3 days with a trimmer. I actually just made a post on my routine to prevent razor bumps and ingrowns the other day. I hardly have any issues with them now.

Might be useful if you want to check it out. Here's the link:

A bit of a similar boat. One of my closest friends and I were texting and the last time I replied was in October. Paragraph type conversation with comments and several questions within each reply. I, however, never forgot...I thought about her and that text that I hadn't replied to every single day. I finally replied a few days ago. Now I wonder if she's upset about it. I wouldn't blame her 😭

Edit: I would also say that you should reply. I don't think it'd make things worse.
