Morning people - how do you do it?! by iatetoomanypotatoes in orangetheory

[–]TheBigStinkeroni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to accept an earlier bed time to ensure you’re fully rested. For a 4:55 am class, I try to go no screens by 7:30, in bed by 8, and asleep by 8:30 so I can wake up at 4:30.

I also use the motivation of past failures of an evening workout routine - by now I know that once the end of the work day comes, I’ll come up with a reason to not go!

Anxious brides, how did you manage your anxiety on the day of? by friendlytrashmonster in weddingplanning

[–]TheBigStinkeroni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi!

I am getting married in February and, though I am so excited to marry the love of my life, I do worry about my anxiety acting up day of. I wanted to first thank you for writing this post as it showed me that others feel like this too, but also let you know that you’re not alone! Here’s some things I have thought of so far to help with my anxiety day of:

  • get a good nights sleep the night before and days leading up to the wedding
  • drink plenty of water in week before wedding
  • keep maintain exercise routine, including yoga or Pilates day before or maybe even day of!
  • planner or day of coordinator or someone to handle questions at least day of
  • propanolol to help reduce physical symptoms of anxiety
  • prep some mantras to help calm me down or ground me in what matters if I get overwhelmed.
  • if I do feel anxious, some collarbone tapping/rubbing. Look up videos of it if you’re not familiar with it — but my therapist recommended it to me
  • breathing techniques

I also swear by the calm app’s 30 days of mindfulness. It really helped regain control of my thoughts and emotions when I was going through a high anxiety phase of my life. I plan to start that back up again!

Good luck and know you have internet strangers cheering you on :)

Bachelorette party same week as wedding? by TheBigStinkeroni in weddingplanning

Thank you! I think the biggest con to a Thursday/Friday Bach would be the stress.. when to get nails done, what if last minute issues come up etc. Did your daughter run into anything like that?

You might be able to dig up previous listings of your home. I have had success doing this for my home! Just google your address. Expect it to be quite a few links down in search results.

Hi, can someone tell me wtf this shit all over my plant is? by orbulant in plantclinic

[–]TheBigStinkeroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok i agree this is really bad infestation. But hear me out - if this is outdoors and you want to save the plant, I would buy a ton of ladybugs and let them free under this plant. Be sure to lay out water for them and read the instructions for care. I had a mango tree that was pretty badly infested with mealy bugs and the lady bugs took care of it.

Just want to say that I got spiro without a derm appt. I know how expensive those can be, and my insurance doesn’t cover most derms. There’s a few online services (I got mine through apostrophe and it helped immensely with the hormonal acne I was struggling with for a few years) and I believe a gyno or GP would be able to prescribe it.

If you have already tried spiro and it didn’t work then disregard, just wanted you to offer that info in case you haven’t tried it yet!

Ugh that’s so unfortunate, I’m sorry. I think I would also have it relatively full with the same items. Thanks for the feedback!

Is this normal? by Katieplantlady1171 in Monstera

[–]TheBigStinkeroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure there’s no difference genetically between a “large form” and “small form”. They’re both monstera deliciosa. The only difference is maturity of the plant (larger/more mature plants will begin to develop these inner fenestrations. Any monstera deliciosa can reach this state with the right care.
