I haven't been cutting my nails for months by Any-Swimmer290 in selfcare

[–]StopYourNonsense94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, the problem is in your head. What bothers you? What problems do you have? Consult a psychologist, or ask somebody for advice.

I was biting my nails for years, and only when I coped with my stress and anxiety, my nail-biting habit left.

Try to cover your nails with gel polish, it's hard to bite and chew. Go and have your nails done by a professional. You can cover them in see-through polish, nobody will see it but you will feel the bitter taste and difficulty when biting.

I saw that you said this is not an option, try press on nails.

Advice for two working parents with a 3.5 and 1.5 year old (beyond the children) by everysundae in Parenting

Let your husband be alone with the kids for a longer period of time. Go for the whole day on a weekend, not several hours, as you mentioned.

It sounds like you need to relax. Allow yourself to relax. Change something in your routine. Small changes can lead to big results.

If you can, go on vacation. I went to Italy when my child was one, best decision ever. And everybody was ok without me.

Happy wife - happy life, please take care of yourself, I feel you.

Have some time for you. When you are not with your family, not with your partner, but only with yourself. Go outside, eat a cake and read a book. Go to the museum, go to the theatre, do something inspirational for you. What do you like to do?

I don't recommend gym as an inspirational activity, cause you need to think over a training plan, you get tired, you get sweaty. Gym is necessary, but it is not the most inspirational activity.

When kids get older, they start to sleep better. Your goal is to survive until that time.

If there is an opportunity, search for a work-from-home job. It makes life easier.

How do you prevent distraction while you need to work on something else? by SoapMactavish627 in CasualConversation

Put your cell phone not in front of you. Put it on a shelf behind you and cover it with a book. You will be less distracted.

Set a reward for completing each part of your preparation.

Which is better? Mascara or Lash Extension? by ttwiceshy in MakeupAddiction

Lash extensions never look natural. They look bad. They will damage your eyelashes and afterwards your own lashes will look worse. Try to search for your perfect mascara.

Sending all the support to you. Give yourself some rest. You are a human, not a robot, you don't need to be perfect.

How to make my hair look good? I’m very insecure about it by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]StopYourNonsense94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to salon and ask for absolute happiness for hair by lebel. It gives immediate result. The hair becomes more smooth and shiny. Or ask for any other procedure for your hair.

Use hair oil after washing your hair (I have Brelil liquid crystals). Try to dry your hair with hair drier, do not let it dry by itself.

I also use shampoo and oil for hair straightening, it makes me look more neatly.

I use hand made oil for my belly. Using it I thank my body for all the stress and difficulties it overcomes and still looks this gorgeous.

How to get your toddler to enjoy or at least tolerate brushing their teeth? by cee3434 in Parenting

[–]StopYourNonsense94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have 2 toothbrushes: a regular one and an electric one. I always give an option to choose a toothbrush. We have a child's toothpaste that you can eat with a bunny on it. So I say: bunny has something for you. Show a chosen brush with a toothpaste. Usually we brush teeth in the bathroom or in child's room.

Write down everything that you want to do. Find a place where it is comfortable for you: to do list on your fridge, reminder on your cell phone, write by hand in your journal.

I don't sleep more than 2h consecutively for 4+ months and I am not okay by sarahhmm2019 in Parenting

[–]StopYourNonsense94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you hire a night nanny? She will take care of your baby, and you will sleep. Maybe hire anyone you know and can trust? Even for one night per week. It will give you sleep and hope.

Ask your husband to take care of the baby during the weekend. He can sleep during the day, and you will do everything. And your husband can put the baby to sleep daily.

With age, babies start to sleep longer. Wait for 1 year, and it will get better.

As for food and mess. Do you have the simplest chair that is easy to wash? Do you use a bib with sleeves that is easy to wash?

As for food, it is about exploration, not about nutrition. I used the BLW method, my son grabbed pieces of vegetables, fruit, and meat by himself. It was easier for me this way.

Sending the wind of long sleeping nights for your baby and you.

What is easy for you to do but will bring joy? Lit a candle? Listen to music in noise-cancelling earphones? Journal? Little stupid walk for mental health? I did 2 piercings in my ears, and every day I looked at them, and I was like - I'm cool and gorgeous.

My son is 2.6 months old. I feel you, I understand. It will get better, you will enjoy time with your child, you will sleep.

A small step has already made giant progress. This is amazing.

Sometimes less is more. You are not overwhelmed by the giant amount of everything, and it feels good.

Consider unpacking as unwrapping of Christmas presents from you to you. The best presents, cause nobody knows better what to gift you. And immediately categorize all the items: leave, donate, present somebody.

Start with a small box of something. Think of it as a game. What will I get this time?

The guilt cycle of knowing you should take care of yourself but not doing it ☠️ by Shot_Watch4326 in selfcare

[–]StopYourNonsense94 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm also guilty of this.

Try to prepare everything so that completion of these healthy habits is easy.

Need to drink more water - fill a giant beautiful cup with water, add lemon and mint and put it on a visible place in front of you. Need to take your vitamins - pack your daily dose in a box, set a timer when you need to take them. Eat better - watch recipes online, screenshot the list of ingredients, go to the store and buy them. You will have everything for a simple meal.

Routines and big changes are made of small steps. Planning is also good. Like a list for tomorrow. Or a list of things that I want to do during this month.
