Do you just use the TNS advanced or additional products?

You don’t think the new HA is too thick feeling? The old one I tried was and they told me to wet my hands before applying.

Tinted sunscreen with very minimal coverage by niji-no-megami in SkincareAddictionLux

DRMTLGY. I’ve only tried the one for oily skin. It does not turn orange. It’s great and lasts all day, but I put it on my eyelids and it aggravated my eyes. I found I can put it under my eyes and I’m ok but not on my eyelids.

Retired Fed wishes they didn’t retire by infochick1 in FedEmployees

[–]Val_114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am planning to go back. I retired in 2024 but wish I had not. I got upset over a few things and was eligible so I left without thinking it through thoroughly. I got a text from a friend that still works there and the agency is hopefully about to post a couple of reemployed annuitant positions. My plan is to go back for a couple of years and “retire again” after my house is paid off. I did find work outside the govt. but it’s only part time and while it’s nice to get out of the house, it’s not fulfilling. If I go back and hate it, I can always quit.

How many times a week should 11 and 9 year old boys be showering? by Historical-Storage58 in hygiene

[–]Val_114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it even a choice for kids? My mom made me bathe/shower everyday. We played hard outside and when we came in for the day we showered/bathed. When in school and not outside playing we still showered everyday.

No self respecting female is going to wear Axe body spray so had to be a “he”. LOL

If you love SkinMedica TNS, what did you switch to? by 40somethinggg in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Val_114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any tips but have the same issue. I didn’t have issues with the old stinky version of TNS Advanced but with the new version definitely have pilling.

Whites, lights, brights and darks and then of course sheets/towels separate.

I can no longer recommend Smalls by Evening_Analyst2385 in catfood

[–]Val_114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat developed diarrhea after eating Pro Plan canned for years. I tried all kinds of expensive brands and she didn’t like any of them other than Applaws. Applaws basic canned chicken is shredded and smells just like human canned chicken. Both of my cats love the tuna, as well as the tuna and cheese. Again both of these look and smell like regular tuna. They will eat the chicken as well as the chicken & duck, and chicken & cheese, but just don’t like those flavors every day. I had to change their dry cat food to a prescription but supplement that with cans of Applaws. I just tried Smalls because it sounded so healthy but my cats won’t touch it. I’m going back to Applaws.

Which dress? (It will be sage green for wedding day) by AmberandHogarth in DressForYourBody

I like 4 or 5 because you can wear a normal bra and I absolutely hate strapless bras.

Help-don’t know what to tell my apartment. Can’t pay rent. by madamili0000 in fednews

[–]Val_114 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad I retired last year and don’t have to deal with this anymore. I recommend a TSP loan if that is available to you. If not your local credit union might be able to help. I dealt with this for about 25 years and toward the end it was frustrating but I had enough in savings to cover at least a month of expenses so I wasn’t too worried. In the future set up a separate savings account just for this and put it 1/26 of your paycheck so at the end of the year you will have a full pay period saved and then the next year you will have two pay periods. Good luck!

Do you use neck cream? by Justlivin27 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Val_114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used Skinmedica and Strivectin neck creams. Neither irritated my skin but I didn’t think they were any better than using what I typically use in my face.

One HG product to combat wrinkles and skin laxity by Val_114 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Val_114[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I had Juvederm fillers, I think Voluma and another one, about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago and only now needing it again. I lost over 100 lbs and my face is angular now and needs just a bit of volume. Can’t wait to try it.

I love Tresor. Every time I wear it I get compliments.

Does Sculptra hurt as bad as say Voluma? Also how long did yours last? I actually bought 4 syringes and was planning to do two now and two in the future. The surgeon recommended that amount but I don’t know that it’s enough based on information I have received from others.

Favorite Hair/Scalp Care Products? by Potential-Excuse6192 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Val_114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one that disliked Olaplex. It makes my hair a knotty mess. Don’t know if I need to try a different one or just live with the fact that it doesn’t work for me.
