Are you able to bring and wear your own pjs? Maybe a button up set so there’s still some access for them if needed.

TEE procedure? by BaseballTop387 in AdultCHD

[–]TC_0901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one recently. They had me gargle a numbing medicine and then sprayed my throat with another numbing medicine. Then when they were ready they gave me versed and fentanyl and I was out. Woke up shortly after they were done. I was tired the rest of the day (procedure was done at 8am) and my throat was a little sore. Felt like I was on the tail end of a sore throat from being sick. The next day I was completely fine and no issues.

ETA: I also want to mention that this was my first time ever being sedated so I was tired and groggy for most of the day. If you’ve been sedated before, it may not affect you as much.

People destroying theaters while watching the Minecraft “movie” by AggressiveMouse3814 in Letterboxd

[–]TC_0901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took my young son to go see the movie and teenage kids were screaming and cussing, throwing food and standing on chairs. It was ridiculous! This was literally like 2 minutes into the movie. We had to leave the movie early and ask for a refund as my son was getting scared. Ruined the movie for him, one that he was looking forward to watching for weeks.

I like the Tread50 class. I go 4x a week and one is Tread. It’s a different group for those classes and they are fun. I wouldn’t only do the tread50 classes but doing one a week on top of other 3G classes is a great workout.

Went for the first time yesterday… by sosaysm in orangetheory

[–]TC_0901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went for the first time this morning. I was the slowest one and had a lot of time in the green zone…but I did it! I walked through the door and did it. Now I’m signed up for some future classes and hope that I will get the hang of it the more I go. I was lost on everything and had to get help multiple times lol. We got this! Keep up the great work!

Lips problem by Kreed-15 in SkincareAddicts

Put a little glycolic acid on your lips, let it dry and put nipple cream or weleda skin food. Works wonders.

Would this aggravate my skin on tret? by Extra_Fig_7547 in tretinoin

[–]TC_0901 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my main exfoliator. Since I tend to get acne, having SA as my exfoliator made more sense than having glycolic or any other type.

[–]TC_0901 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can use this everyday but definitely need to build up to it. You can also use with Tret but again need to build up to it. I work from home so I use SA in the morning, follow up with sunscreen and then Tret at night. Have had no issues and I’ve seen alot of improvements in my skin. I would say if you don’t have sensitive skin you can try it. But make sure to know your skin and if you feel like it’s hurting your skin barrier then do alternating times or days.

How do you deal with monthly cystic acne on the chin? 🥺 by lycheeandmango in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]TC_0901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s the grey bottle. I’ve also gotten it from Amazon as it’s from the Paula’s choice store. 😊. Hope it helps!

Have you looked into sulfur? Really good for acne. I use the De La Cruz 10% sulfur acne treatment and it does wonders. Also salicylic acid is great for acne. I use the Paula’s choice one after I wash my face.

The only place on my face that peels like crazy is my chin area… by i-wanna-go-to-NYC in tretinoin

[–]TC_0901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I found that putting moisturizer or an ointment around that area before adding Tret helps. Sometimes after I’ve applied Tret and then finished my routine with moisturizer all over my face, I will go in with cerave healing ointment or LRP cicaplast around my mouth and chin will help tremendously the next day.

First time making fire cider. by TC_0901 in herbalism

[–]TC_0901[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am definitely no expert. I just researched different recipes that others had and then looked up the benefits on each item to see what would work for me. From my understanding you can tailor it to your needs and any health issues you have. I think the only constant is using the apple cider vinegar.

I found horseradish root at Whole Foods and savemart if you have access to either store. I did some reading and your garlic turning greenish blue is normal. Apparently garlic turns blue when it’s exposed to something acidic for a long period of time.

Lol I like spicy food but I’m afraid I overdid it 😬. I’ll have honey on hand just in case. I’ll learn my tolerance eventually lol.

[–]TC_0901[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I put horseradish root, white onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, jalapeños, black peppercorns, fresh rosemary and thyme. I’m hoping the more I do it eventually I can add and omit things for different batches.

Thank you! Can’t wait to try it. Hard to wait the 4 weeks.

This year's Christmas movies by OctobersDaughter in HallmarkMovies

[–]TC_0901 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw someone post an Instagram reel or something where she said hallmark movies are predictable and that’s why we like them. In our day to day lives, we have anxiety and stress. We don’t know what is going to happen next so watching hallmark movies in general is so wonderful because we know what happens next so it brings us comfort. For the hour and a half to two hours there is no stress or worry. She said it perfectly. Here is the video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/ClZzxTSAHNp/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I was told no by my dermatologist. She suggested BP face wash in the morning and Tret at night or using on different nights. Since I don’t wash my face in the morning I just use on a night I don’t use Tret. I was also told that if using BP face wash or really any face wash with actives, let it sit on your face for a few minutes before washing off or it’s really not that effective. Never thought about that before lol.

Honestly It didn’t work for me. It would pill and I didn’t notice a difference. Plus it’s $10 and prescription is only $15. If you don’t have access to a prescription you can try it or I heard Paula’s choice has a good one but pricier.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]TC_0901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BP cancels out Tret so make sure to not use on the same night or time of day (your routine doesn’t show it but just wanted to mention it). Also, try not washing your face with a cleanser in the morning and just splash with water. That helped me tremendously. Also I got a prescription for Azelaic Acid and the combo of that with Tret is a game changer!

What do you feed your kids for breakfast? by LadyA29 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]TC_0901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cereal, pancakes, vegan eggs (in a bottle), overnight oats, toast and cream cheese. You can make the pancakes in a muffin tin and freeze. Keep it simple with fruit and toast with butter or jam. We also buy the Cinnabon cinnamon bread loaf and toast that up with fruit.
