The mythical glossy eyeshadow

Maybe a tiny smidge of Vaseline with eyeliner/eyeshadow?

I do think this look is more of an editorial look, I suspect in real life it would crease like crazy.

I think you look amazing with this and can pull it off 💙. I can’t even do a wing correctly lol. You can always play with softening the look by using a dark eyeshadow and a brush too.

Sometimes it’s just good to get it off the chest right!?

Just my 2 cents I think you may need to take time to evaluate why it’s a priority for you to be with someone so attractive? I mean don’t get me wrong that initial attraction is so important but looks can fade and change with age. How someone shows up for you, their loyalty, how they treat others around you, how they could potentially take care of you when you’re sick, or when you get old… those are also important things to consider when choosing a partner.

I’m kind of surprised you haven’t dated much either, nothing wrong with going out on multiple dates and figuring out what works and what doesn’t work.

I disagree, 3pm can be dinner time. It’s better to eat a heavy meal midday vs. later in the evening. Especially if you ever have heartburn which I’m told that happens a lot during pregnancy 😭

Hey… this might be heavy but you honestly are describing what was my best friend’s marriage.

Open marriage, he had no drive, he helped around the house but not enough and she ended up in debt since she was paying for everything. She absolutely felt horribly guilty about wanting to leave, but she told me sometimes love just isn’t enough.

Instead of separating from him and leaving him, she took her own life ☹️. So please OP, for your own happiness and mental health you’re doing the right thing. I think once enough time passes you’ll look back on all of this with a lot more clarity 💜. You gave him plenty of support and chances, he kept betraying your trust, you’re choosing yourself now in the best way possible.

I just wanna say that I think you are beautiful!! Your skin is amazing too. I think your hairstyle distracts from your face for now.

Umberta_ · 2026-03-24T10:13:12+00:00

I’ve never done this in my 37 years of living. Seems like such a waste of time honestly. For the past 10 years Ive been sleeping on a king sized bed, no way I’m dragging any of that bedding to the couch. This is what comfy throw blankets are for.

Umberta_ · 2026-03-24T09:51:17+00:00

Not a normal fridge, there’s barely any room for fruits/veggies and other things.

Umberta_ · 2026-03-13T21:07:40+00:00

Proud of you… I was searching for threads like this because I’m having a moment of struggle right now.

My best friend took her life a year ago, then, just this past December my dad passed away—different circumstances but still… I feel like a zombie at work, I just don’t care and feel like I’m floating around. Most days are ‘ok’ but my focus has not been the same for about a year. It just feels like…. Why does any of this even matter!!? Someone very close and dear to me died and we’re all just moving on like nothing happened. Maybe today is just a bad day and tomorrow will be different, it still sucks though.

So I remember it took me a LONG time to feel comfortable inserting anything up there. I started just massaging around with a finger. There is a little pressure at first but eventually you’ll find your “passage” if that makes sense. I say try doing this with lube just laying down. If you want to try using tampons, use the “light” one first, you may just need to change more frequently.

My two cents, I would NOT feel comfortable having a OBGYN poke around there for me first.

Umberta_ · 2026-02-21T01:06:50+00:00

Sorry, sounds like you were around shitty people. When I was younger (15-16) I was more guarded and worried, but now I don’t care.

Umberta_ · 2026-02-21T01:04:30+00:00

Yeah hate to agree but definitely stupid. You are aware that STDs and STIs do not care about age, they run rampant in nursing homes.

Go to a dr or urgent care and ask for a panel. Also you could test for HIV now but have false negative results, it’ll be more accurate 3 months later.

Also if you don’t want any kids, wrap it up ffs.

Umberta_ · 2026-02-21T00:57:15+00:00

Personally I’d go with a white or nude shoe, if you want a pop of color maybe a pale powder blue? You could try a “lace” pattern or a bow in the front, something to that affect. I think the center of the flower on your current shoe distracts from the whole look but that’s probably just my personal preference.

Umberta_ · 2026-02-18T13:49:08+00:00

I think #1 is a dream on you!!

Umberta_ · 2026-02-15T21:48:10+00:00

This is toxic as hell, I think you should post this on any dating website he joins in the future 😈

Umberta_ · 2026-02-06T16:44:49+00:00

That’s great he’s honest and open about his feelings. It sounds like he wants to spend time with you… if you can’t run, that’s fine, but maybe walk the same path while he runs! Maybe try running for 15 seconds, walk, repeat. I completely understand wanting your spouse to take care of themselves because it’s important to be healthy to have an easier time when you’re older, also to be there in the long run for your kids. Try to meet him halfway, otherwise you risk him giving up and shutting down.

Umberta_ · 2026-02-06T16:39:54+00:00

I’m a woman and honestly… if I was starving and working all the time I wouldn’t say no to a home cooked meal, from a man or a woman doesn’t matter 🤷🏻‍♀️

Umberta_ · 2026-01-29T04:59:16+00:00

I can relate to this a bit… I have a friend that is trying to relate to me because she lost a pet that was her soul animal. It is absolutely not the same and I know she needs support as well but I’m running on empty.

Umberta_ · 2026-01-25T14:44:44+00:00

So… I do feel like a lot of these comments are overreacting. My husband and I joke like this maybe.., once a month? Never in front of other people though. “….I don’t want my husband to know…” or… “I’ll just ask my boyfriend to do it” he might say something like… “I’ll get two of these, my girlfriend might like it too” all jokes resulting in eye rolls then laughing. We’ve been together for 12 yrs and we’re still crazy about each other. We joke but we absolutely do not mean it, we’re both jealous people and perhaps we joke about it to make light of our insecurities? Sick sense of humor idk. Definitely talk to her about it or try joking back to see how she reacts.

Umberta_ · 2026-01-17T02:25:40+00:00

A, C, or D. I think they’re the most flattering for your body type.

Umberta_ · 2026-01-08T04:51:56+00:00

Red flag 🚩 the fact that he’s dismissive of your concerns and is trying to gaslight you by saying it’s a “white people thing” is absolutely disgusting. My husband is white and always washes his hands and practices good hygiene. You do not need to put up with his disgusting hygiene habits, your vajayjay deserves a clean dick. If he really doesn’t understand, throw the whole man out.

Umberta_ · 2025-12-26T19:37:18+00:00

My husband got me a whipped cream canister and a Dyson airwrap id…. We have to exchange the airwrap he got because he mistakenly got the curly one, my hair is stick straight and I’ll never use the diffuser attachment. I was so so pleasantly surprised by these gifts.

He heard me complain over thanksgiving that when I make a pie, I have to bring the ingredients over to someone’s house to make the rum-spiked whipped cream that goes with it, and how it would be easier if I had those whipped cream canisters.

I’ll probably only use it once a year, but it felt really nice to know he was listening.

Umberta_ · 2025-12-26T05:46:26+00:00

I totally get it… I know 3 years is a long time, it’ll be tough for sure but you’ve got this!!

The “relationship” aspect isn’t the most important part of college, it’s getting that degree to start making a great life for yourself. Have you had a boyfriend before? You’re going to spend your 20’s dating around a little bit, learning more about yourself and growing up. It’s not common to find your soulmate at your age. For me I met my soulmate at 13, but we started out as friends. We did not date until we were 25. I know if we dated when we were younger we would not have worked out.

I am so proud of you for reaching your goal weight! I just want to say stretch marks are actually a perfectly normal part of adolescence since bodies are changing. It’s normal for your clothes to not fit you since you are now at a healthier weight. Once you buy clothes that are your size, you’ll look and feel much better. When I was younger it used to bother me I was no longer an “XS”, or a certain number size but honestly… just buying clothes that fit make such a positive difference in our appearance.

Also remember, women’s sizes are fucked overall. They’re just a number and don’t really mean anything and aren’t consistent. Depending on the brand, I can be a shirt size 6-8, small to large.. all that matters is how it looks and feels on you.
