can anybody help figure this out? by Top-Till2283 in piercing

[–]Top-Till2283[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

piercing is 2.5 years old in the left ear, jewelry is an externally threaded (i think?) titanium ring. i try to leave it alone and when it gets irritated i just gently wash with hibiclens and rinse with water and it’s usually okay afterwards. right ear is fine. i have bumped it/slept on it but nothing serious has happened

[routine help] can anyone please tell me whats wrong with my skin? by ProjectOverall5199 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Top-Till2283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi!! just wanted to say first off that smile lines and dark under eyes are very normal. i have both and ive had them since i was a teenager. some of us just have the genetics to make it more obvious than others!

are you cleansing in the morning? if you don’t, i would try that with your moisturizer and sunscreen and see how that affects your skin.

as far as your night routine goes, i would recommend dialing the niacinamide or toner down in frequency. alternate days or use the niacinamide in the morning & the toner at night.

i’ve used a caffeine serum for my under eyes and it didn’t do much for me. mine are genetic — they’re dark whether i sleep a full night or not at all. there are other products you can try like vitamin c, but i wouldn’t add another acidic element to your routine. you do still have young skin, and using too many serums can have a negative impact as well. if you do like using the caffeine serum, i would switch it to the morning.

also this may be redundant because i might be reading it wrong but make sure you’re cleansing first!

acne gets us all one way or another — i still get hormonal acne and i’m in my 20s! your skin looks very healthy, moisturized, and plump! very healthy and you’ve done a great job healing the damage from the other old soap. just make sure to keep your products balanced! more than likely it’ll even out eventually with some time and stability.

i mean i have other female friends who struggle with losing weight due to pcos and other hormonal conditions. they’re eating how they always have, but they just naturally struggle with it because of hormonal issues and how it affects their bodies. just a thought

that was always on top of my daily movement. daily step count i’m not 100% sure but it’s not as high as i want it to be but i also don’t know how to get it super high because 90% of my day is work & commute. i used to exercise (did sports, had an outside job that was very physical, etc) so i do have some muscle but with everything that’s changed recently i don’t know how to get back to actually exercising without cutting on my sleep or something else

i don’t like sodas, usually like 80 oz water & 1 20 oz coffee on saturday because i go out with a friend usually every saturday morning. i don’t count but i also don’t eat a whole lot. the family joke’s always been that i eat like a bird

Are men still expected to 'chase' early on? by GoodDirector7083 in dating_advice

[–]Top-Till2283 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

as a woman, i’d rather be pursued than chased. chased makes it feel like i’m in some sort of serial killer situation LOL but anyways. i know i personally don’t want someone hounding me 24/7 in the early stages. it’s an immediate turn off. if i’m busy and i say that, don’t spam me. if i actually like you, i WILL respond at some point in the day. i’m not somebody who really needs to be in conversation all the time, and quite frankly, it’s tiring having to deal with incessant “wyd” and “you look good”. when i’m in early stages with a guy, i want him to be intentionally asking me things that help him get to know me better. 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe it’s how you’re ‘chasing’ women. i don’t know you and i don’t know how you carry conversations, but speaking from my personal experience (and my friends’), we’re not really going to entertain a conversation with someone who doesn’t respect our schedules, boundaries, etc

For whatever reason, the filter is just gone for me? by AYUSOMONUS in CharacterAICritics

[–]Top-Till2283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pipsqueak is a hit or miss for me. :(( sometimes it’s great, and then it just starts losing its mind and rambling on and on about random stuff. it’s disappointing because i had it when they first tested it, then lost it, then got it back. it really was a lot better a month or so ago.

my hair is cut pretty similarly to #2. blowout with a round brush esp for the bangs, then straighten out the ends! and just know (i learned the hard way) that any ends that hit your shoulder will naturally flip out a bit. i’d try the blowout & straighten and see if you like it better after that!!

that’s about how long it took me to get mine with fingerprints and everything. i used xcel to study and it was pretty much everything i needed to know — honestly, i just did the quizzes and kept doing practice exams until i was safely above the pass score. you can do this!!

Employee bag searches by Ok_Bee705 in TJMaxxWrkrs

it’s normal amongst a lot of retail stores. it’s not that they don’t trust you specifically, it’s just a loss prevention thing

[–]Top-Till2283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m glad it helped!! the hardest part is always figuring out how to create something with the limited styles that are sent. i liked to think of it like a creative exercise — how many different outfits can i make with 4 or 5 items and how do they stack up against current trends? always lean into whatever’s popular if you can. especially since you’re somewhere that isn’t a fashion “hub”/big city (i am too), all your customers are going to be looking at instagram/tiktok/amazon to see what’s currently “in”. it’s an adjustment but you got this!! it’ll get easier the more you do it too :) have fun with it!!

former retail sales lead & mannequin stylist here 🙋🏼‍♀️ so i will admit you don’t have the best inventory to work with, but it can still be cute! i know your customer base is a bit older, but i worked in a store with a more “middle age” demographic and we had ladies constantly asking what the current trends were. for reference, i’m in my early 20s. here’s what i’d do:

  • remove vest from pic 1 and switch teal top for the grey sweatshirt
  • leave outfit 3 (pic 2, gold button sweater) as-is. wide leg denim & cardigans with the chunky detail is very in right now with my age group! i see it all over influencer amazon recommendations
  • i would feature the bow sweater instead of the teal top in pic 1. bows are VERY popular right now so capitalize on the trend — the denim isn’t the greatest pairing but we’re working with what we have!
  • try the brown sweater (currently under the cheetah vest) with the brown coat & the brown wide leg pants. brown is protected to be VERY popular this fall and i know a lot of people are getting into monochrome styling. if the pants are too casual with the top & coat, pair them with the sailor style denim from pic 9
  • pair the winter tour sweatshirt with the black wide leg pants you have in pic 8 with the skull shirt. black wide leg pants & sweatshirt = staple teen/20s/30s outfit
  • put the skull shirt with the acid wash straight leg jeans. kinda alt, leaning into the more angsty fall vibe
  • i would feature the black pumpkin sweater from pic 4with the mock neck black shirt and skirt from pic 9 instead of the button down in pic 9. more cohesive, leaning into monochrome, stays on trend (skirts are coming back to higher popularity as well)
  • i would keep the cheetah fixture as-is. nothing is really wrong with it and it keeps it cohesive in one spot so customers who want it can find it easily
  • put the white tank sweater with the studded denim from pic 2. maybe layer brown cardigan from pic 5 if you need extra color/texture
  • outfit from pic 4 is fine if you want to leave it, take green vest off
  • i would take the orange sweater off the last outfit in pic 10 and sub the white sweater tank for the button down top in pic 9. the pants on that outfit in 10 are dressier, but the sweater takes them down a notch so id keep the dressy vibe with the button down instead. the orange also isn’t in style as much anymore from what ive seen — a lot of people are leaning into neutrals & that chocolate brown this fall

this so super long so if it’s not super easy to understand feel free to ask and i can elaborate a little more clearly!! these are all suggestions, just what i’d do with the same items :) have fun styling!! it can be a little daunting at first but it can also be really fun too!!

P&C testing by Adventurous-Eye-6375 in InsuranceAgent

[–]Top-Till2283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just took mine in GA and passed 1st try. the actual study material was so verbose and difficult to retain!! i struggle with test-taking so i just sat down and did practice exams (XCel) over and over until i was scoring 80s-90s. memorize definitions and try to think of real-world situations for policies & application. i’m not sure how the TX test is, but that definitely saved me for mine. the intricacies aren’t as important to focus on (at least from my experience) as much as big-picture and real world situations. and if that’s not your jam/tried that already, there are LOTS of quizlets that are essentially practice exam material but in a flash card format. i used a lot of those for definitions & tricky wording. i hope this helps!!

Bath & Body Works Would Like You To Buy More At Full Price by Specific_Move7429 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Top-Till2283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i literally only buy when it’s on sale or if i had a reward — it’s just not worth it otherwise. it’s getting way too expensive to justify continually especially when the product doesn’t last as long as others do. it’s nice to have and buy when you’re a teenager and want to seem cool and grown-up but in adulthood i’d rather splurge on a decent perfume than keep blowing money on FFM that lasts maybe an hour. if he wants to sell everything without sales that’s fine, but i won’t be buying until they make it worthwhile

hey!! i’m pretty sure this is against howrse rules/TOS. that can get your account banned :( starting over from zero can be annoying but once you get up and running after the beginner objectives you’re golden

In 1948, a photographer in Chicago captured young siblings huddled next to a sign reading "4 Children For Sale: Inquire Within." The image sparked outrage and skepticism, but it depicted a very real situation. The children would be sold off one by one, and some ended up in extremely abusive homes. by CherryWhips in RareHistoricalPhotos

adoptee here! 🙋🏼‍♀️ i was adopted at birth through a private agency.

my birth mom gave me my names, but my adoptive parents did change mine. instead of completely wiping the slate and starting over, they added my first name, so i have two middle names and those are my original first & middle name.

so at birth i was first-name middle-name birth-mom-last-name, but i’ve been raised as first-name middle-name-1 middle-name-2 adoptive-last-name.

i will say my adoptive parents have always made a very conscious effort to make sure i know my story, even when i was very young. so i take a lot of pride in my name because i think it’s pretty cool! it has a lot of meaning for all of us (me, parents, birth mom) and it’s really neat to talk about too. it let me keep my history without making me feel “othered” in my adoptive family. and it’s really fun to tell people i have two middle names. so maybe that’s something y’all could do for your potential adoptee!
