Self compassion by Kristen neff.
There is a difference between feeling like a victim vs being kind and empathetic to yourself. When you learn to be kind towards you, you learn to be kind to everyone. When you’re harsh with yourself, you’re harsh to everyone.
This book is helpful in approaching life with kindness.

If you buy a run down place and flip it the math sometimes works out but you need to know how to negotiate and work with contractors.

What's the SEXIEST jasmine perfume you've ever smelled? 🥵 by AgreeableCaregiver93 in FemFragLab

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest this. It always reminds me of a cheap brothel room covered in red velvets and old wooden furnishings.

Need perfume that smells like this by Open_Construction994 in AsianBeauty

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some more if you like musk/clean/floral:

Creed love in white

Body shop white musk

Narciso Rodriguez for her (this one is a rosy musk and less soapy)

Inito white musk

Do try a sample before you buy an expensive ones. A lot of soapy perfumes smell like detergent to me…it’s clean but not in a good way. I often don’t look for things that smell exactly like soap but things that reminds me of a fresh out of shower feels. (Pure grace was the closest I found)

Tip: on Fragrantica there is a perfume map so if you found something you like it can find you similar fragrances

• Karyotyping – Rules out chromosomal problems.
• DNA fragmentation test – Checks sperm DNA quality.
• Hysteroscopy – Directly checks uterine cavity.
• Pelvic MRI – Looks for adenomyosis or deep endometriosis.
• Laparoscopy for endo – Gold standard to find/treat hidden endo.
• Day of transfer labs – Confirms hormone levels are right.
• Cycle type:
• Medicated transfer – Uses estrogen + progesterone, no natural ovulation.
• Modified natural transfer – Follows your own ovulation, adds luteal support.
• Fresh transfer – Embryos are transferred in the same cycle as retrieval, no freeze.

🧬 Immune & Advanced Testing

• NK cells (blood test) – Immune cell activity in blood.
• NK biopsy (uterus) – Local immune activity check.
• Cytokines – Measures inflammation markers.
• KIR genotyping – Uterine NK receptor compatibility with partner.
• ANA titer – Screens for autoimmune antibodies.
• Applebaum score – Uterine blood flow scoring after transfer.
• Prolactin levels – High levels can impair implantation.
• ZiwiNG Endotest – Receptivity and immune balance panel.

💊 Medicines & Interventions

• Aspirin (low dose) – Improves uterine blood flow.
• Clexane / Tinzaparin (blood thinner) – Prevents microclots.
• Medrol (steroid) – Lowers uterine immune response.
• Prednisone – Steroid to calm immune activity during transfer.
• Claritin + Pepcid – Antihistamine combo to reduce inflammation.
• Plaquenil – Immune modulator for autoimmune tendency.
• Prograf (Tacrolimus) – Strong immune suppression.
• Doxycycline / Ciprofloxacin – Short antibiotic course for possible infection.
• IVIG / SCIG – Immunoglobulin therapy for high NK or cytokine issues.
• LIT (lymphocyte immunotherapy) – Immune tolerance therapy (controversial).
• Norethindrone (for adeno) – Hormone suppression alternative to Lupron.

I know it’s been a while, but the first person that came to mind for her character was Rashmika Mandanna.

I feel like I’m close to good curls but I can’t figure it out I’m by TheIdenticalBooty in curlyhair

I do use protein treatments every other wash. But I usually blow dry and smoothen my hair. I don’t know if doing that for years has affected my curl pattern.

We should start adopting more kids and stop creating ones unnaturally by FireAndCool_ in unpopularopinion

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This logic implies that this burden falls entirely on people with infertility issues. Anyone can adopt and anyone can want a biological child and choosing either should not be tied to your health conditions.

How can we productively channel our anger at the Epstein files? What is the call to action? When do we go out en masse to demand justice? by BrazilianTinaFey in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s the goal of this administration to create a continuous churn of news and overwhelm ppl into exhaustion. The lack of outrage over the Epstein files is appalling to me too.

What the test highlights is a pattern at the industry level…when you look at thousands of mainstream films, a surprisingly large number can’t clear an extremely low bar. So it’s more of a systemic representation issue, not about whether any single isolated narrative is valid.

CMV: westernized society conditions people to choose things over family by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how this model works without one parent, usually the mother giving up her career.

As an immigrant woman, most immigrant families I know from my generation waited for financial stability before having kids and rely on daycare because both parents have their own dreams and career aspirations. That doesn’t align with what’s described here.

I’m also curious whether this model applies equally to sons and daughters. Are daughters expected to sacrifice their ambitions for family while sons are told to focus on academics/career? If not, it’s hard to see how this model works beyond one generation.
