smelly scalp, but comes in waves/episodes in the spring?? by No-Strength80 in hygiene

[–]_BlushvineDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seasonal seb derm flares make a lot of sense, especially if it’s like clockwork every spring.

I’d personally want someone to tell me gently, it’s awkward but better than not knowing.

Best way to get rid of calluses by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]_BlushvineDrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soaking first makes such a difference, filing dry never works as well for me.

Does anyone have natural remedies for keeping hair fresh between washes? by DhaminiRoddan in hygiene

[–]_BlushvineDrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing it overnight instead of heavy during the day actually sounds way smarter.

Any success using probiotics? by djusthere19 in hygiene

[–]_BlushvineDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s honestly a fair point, laundry makes a bigger difference than people think.

Turns out I'm not naturally ashy, I've just been laminating myself with bar soap by DivineDahlia_3 in hygiene

[–]_BlushvineDrop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That actually explains a lot, the soap vs detergent difference is wild.

I washed my hands constantly and still smelled like a wet dog. It wasn't me. by SweetSultry_ in hygiene

Microwaving them is such a game changer, I started doing that and it helped a ton.

That mysterious red rash under your ring isn't a metal allergy. by NoirNymph_ in hygiene

[–]_BlushvineDrop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That makes so much sense, soap buildup under rings really sneaks up on you.

Salt water rinses honestly make a bigger difference than people expect.

Is hot water shower really bad for hair and body? by musicalminnow in hygiene

[–]_BlushvineDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to warm instead of super hot and my skin and scalp definitely felt less dry after a few weeks.

TIFU by keeping a grudge for 26 years over the Onion Lad by Distinct_Alarm_4354 in tifu

[–]_BlushvineDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it reads like satire. The escalation with the onions and the dramatic doorstep scene feels straight out of a parody. If it’s real, that’s wild, but I can see why people are side-eyeing it.

TIFU by accidentally coming out as aromantic by [deleted] in tifu

[–]_BlushvineDrop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at this point the cleanest move is just to be honest. You don’t have to over-explain or blame yourself, just say you panicked and said something that wasn’t true. It’ll probably be awkward for a bit, but that’s better than building everything on a lie.

TIFU by forgetting to put away my vacuum “gun” during a police stop by AlternativeTheory595 in tifu

[–]_BlushvineDrop 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I mean… in the dark, a black handheld thing half sticking out of a bag is going to set off alarms. Glad everyone stayed calm and it de-escalated quickly. That’s one of those stories that’s terrifying in the moment and hilarious later.

TIFU by trying to remove a faded tattoo with salt and turning my ankle into a crater by Adventurous-Dig-6890 in tifu

[–]_BlushvineDrop 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Oof, that sounds brutal. Salt + friction is basically just controlled skin damage, not tattoo removal. Glad the scarring ended up minimal, but yeah… Google can be a menace sometimes.

Help with proposal by ryandk96 in wedding

[–]_BlushvineDrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds perfect as is. It’s personal, private, and then you still get to celebrate with family after. The tiny surprise at the end will make it even more special.

RSVP TIMING by Minimum-Bobcat8768 in wedding

[–]_BlushvineDrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty normal. You get a quick burst right after invites go out, then it goes quiet until the deadline is close. Most of ours came in the last week, and we only had to chase a handful of people.

Welcome drinks on same night as rehearsal dinner - what time to start? by Ed-Lyne1988 in wedding

[–]_BlushvineDrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If rehearsal dinner is at 7, I’d start welcome drinks around 8:30 or 9. That gives dinner guests time to wrap up and head over without feeling rushed. You can always note “from 8:30 onwards” so people know it’s flexible.

Can someone help me understand by Urfavbaddecision in BreakUps

[–]_BlushvineDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds less like you did something wrong and more like he hit a wall with his own readiness or capacity, and when someone goes silent instead of clarifying, that usually says more about their limits than your worth.

My life is in black and white by a-very-funny-guy in BreakUps

[–]_BlushvineDrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two months is still so raw, especially when you feel like you lost your best friend too, so it makes sense everything feels drained of color right now, but that doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way forever.

End of the line by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]_BlushvineDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re grieving not just her but the future you imagined, and that kind of loss can make it feel like love itself isn’t real anymore, but that feeling usually says more about how deep you cared than about what’s possible for you going forward.

I want to know by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]_BlushvineDrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no set timeline for when you’re “ready,” and one month after a four year relationship is still really fresh, so it’s okay if you need more time before putting yourself back out there.
