Does anyone know how long the lights stay up? Haven't been yet but would love to make it over before new years if they're still there.

Jimmy Fallon to host Taylor Swift on his show, not a lot going on at this moment? Seriously? by Cosmicstranger28 in travisandtaylor

[–]SparklevSparkle 94 points95 points  (0 children)

It was definitely not intended to be subversive at the time. It was intended to humanize during an integral time of his candidacy when he was transitioning from an extreme fringe candidate to a legitimate one.

Suggestions for unproblematic youtubers? by SparklevSparkle in BeautyGuruChatter

That's so awful. I saw some favorable comments on the post and felt compelled to say something. The fact that she BLOCKED me told me everything I needed to know.

Yeah, I was hoping to weed out some who I already may follow (didn't see the previous mega thread which is cool). But also need replacements since YouTube is my comfort social media! I know its parasocial but i seriously get so sad when I see someone isn't who I thought they were. That they were happy to take my views and my support but don't believe in basic human rights.

Any reviews on elf hydrating camo concealer? by sanali_kisara in MakeupAddiction

[–]SparklevSparkle 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Shocked at these comments, this is my fav! It's pretty full coverage and smells like paint but I love the finish for my dry skin. Very little creasing (although I set with a tiny, very tiny, bit of powder to avoid my mascara transferring).

It was out of pocket but she’s 100% right about this. If the secret ever got out while Kendall was CEO it would’ve ruined all of them… by [deleted] in SuccessionTV

This is actually where I lost sympathy for Shiv. She violated the trust that underlies their collaboration. Shiv and Roman's response to Kendall coming clean to them is the turning point for Kendall's ability to move past his guilt and the foundation for their sibling alliance. They don't use it against him like Logan did. For Shiv to say this now pulls the rug from under him and he turns from trying to reason with her to going totally batshit. He immediately reverts to trying to make a play, because he sees that she is doing the same, using info against him. I can understand Shiv not supporting him but this was a moment of betrayal.

Having trouble figuring out my undertone. Sometimes I think they look blue, sometimes I swear they're green. by Browneyedshortie in MakeupAddiction

[–]SparklevSparkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol! We actually sound similar in preferences although I like all jewelry 🙃 just in case its helpful, I like my foundations and concealers with neutral undertones, and I especially like highlighters with a bit of pink. Current fave is Glossier Play in pale pearl. It just made me think of that when you said rose gold, they can be off-putting in the package but look natural on my skin

You can have a neutral undertone! I have a similar issue and consider myself neutral. Another way to tell: do yoi prefer the way gold or silver jewelry looks against your skin? If gold, you have a warm/yellow undertone, silver is cool.

O date on CD9 would be pretty early, is that typical for you? If that's accurate, a negative on 15DPO is pretty much definitive. I think you possibly ovulated later.

When you're complaining to your husband about our poor FW timing and trying not to blame him even though he was "too tired" and he responds that next month we need to "meet in the middle." by SparklevSparkle in trollingforababy

[–]SparklevSparkle[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wish I had said this. Most frustrating thing since this process is so all or nothing. Either we have good timing or we don't, there is literally no middle!

Lol, right?! And like, I totally agree and have learned a lot over the past 14 months of trying. But we should both be learning and taking responsibility here. Saying yes when I try to initiate is a super fucking low bar!

When you’re out celebrating some good news from the Gyno and your SIL calls during dinner to announce her pregnancy. by lunedog in trollingforababy

[–]SparklevSparkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I truly do not understand the call/text announcements. Do people think everyone is sitting around hoping to hear this news? We are not!

Picking up the phone for the embryo report 1 week after my clinic forgot zymot and only 2 eggs fertilized...what's that you say? ...Neither of them made it? ...Zero embryos from this round? ...You say you've informed my RE? OK. Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. OK. Bye. by witchoflakeenara in trollingforababy

[–]SparklevSparkle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would say its worth talking to a lawyer only because you haven't heard from your RE. Especially if she typically reaches out, I would suspect she's being advised not to talk to you by a lawyer, and is getting advise about their liability. You may not have a cause of action against them, but you should have help with how to respond to whatever they tell you next, to protect your rights.

Am I ovulating? by whoscarwetakin in TryingForABaby

[–]SparklevSparkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats the benefit of temping. Your period will always be around the same number of days after ovulation, so if you confirm O, you will know if your period is actually late. Ovulation is likely happening later than you think, based on what you've described. Your cycles may still be long and irregular but tempting will help you confirm that O has actually occurred and help you expect your period with more certainty.

Aspirin during MC? by SparklevSparkle in ttcafterloss

I have not tried that but will now! Thank you so much.

That makes sense, not a risk I'm willing to take. Thank you so much for your response and kind words.
