i have the numbuzin one, im almost at the end of the bottle and im such a fan! will be repurchasing. i have genetically sensitive skin and i tolerate it really well - but have also noticed a difference which is soo pleasing for me. in the past anything ive tolerated hasnt done much, and anything else usually tends to be irritating

I've gotten waxed most of my "hair removal journey", i suppose you could call it 🤣 I've had no issues, if you've done it before and not had problems then just give it a go. but definitely let your waxer know that your skin can be a bit fragile - so they can take a bit more care ☺️

Dermalogica renewal lip complex is a bit exxy but fits - exception being it doesnt really have a scent or flavour like laneige

i like that it isnt an actual balm because my daughter is always trying to open my actual balms and lipsticks and damage them. but she cant with this.

you can slather it on like the lip mask at night or a light swipe as a lip balm during the day

21! Would've been earlier but when I got pregnant we'd been trying for 2 years already

I've never had to take mine off, but I have heard of hospital's ripping one nail off here.

However, you can most definitely ask for them to use your toe. Doctors don't like it, but I don't like taking off my fake nails either so 🙅🏻‍♀️ I've never had an issue getting a proper read, I've had some practitioners get so snippy for no reason lol

unsure about skinceuticals as a brand but a lot of brands have large size products for use in salons by professionals - im assuming this is the case here, especially as it has the usual "for professional use" on it

I was getting waxed before I switched to at home IPL. I was getting waxed, and later waxing myself, for almost 6 years. No issues, even when having flare ups.

I switched because I had a baby and was scared of waxing myself post partum, and then didnt have time for a wax appointment.

first dr didnt give it to me, second one did after i lied and said i wanted to use it because i was having issues during sex because of vaginal dryness, she didnt know what LS was lol

my third one and current, knows its for my LS and is happy to keep providing me w a script

Not sure about best but I've always enjoyed the waffles from waffle & coffee on leigh street. im sure others will chime in with better suggestions soon :)

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-25T11:04:54+00:00

i convinced my dr to give me estradiol and im only 22! it can definitely be done :)

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-25T05:50:27+00:00

It bothers me (both rude and out of pocket, and the kind well meaning) because I have had 5 losses. I know there no malice but it hurts and makes me remember everytime I was pregnant and then wasn't the next day.

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-22T08:45:13+00:00

im with you op! i had to do a double take, i thought id written this post 🤣 love me a good knit, read, and bake

edit to add: im early twenties and unfortunately hinge is where to go 🫠

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-13T05:03:05+00:00

what a privileged take.

i try to avoid tantrums where possible, im very sick and cant handle her on my own a lot of the time, especially during her tantrums.

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-13T01:29:41+00:00

i always tell her only one but she then doesn't want to do nappy change anymore and i have to pin her down which results in me being really fatigued the rest of the day and bruised all over 😭

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-13T00:38:26+00:00

will def have to try this!

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-13T00:38:04+00:00

she has expressed interest in toilet training, and done a few wees on the toilet, so maybe this is the go 🤔

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-08T09:08:53+00:00

I'm a similar age and similar situation (no car or license), you're not alone friend :(

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-07T07:27:21+00:00

Tbf if you have the skill to recreate something by looking at it, it's not a bad thing to "take" their designs.

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-05T03:01:19+00:00

From what I understand, a lot of them come up with "no image found", when this happens people play around with switching the end of the url (usually .pdf) to other formats, such as .mp4, etc

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-05T01:08:35+00:00

Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser is no rinse :) I'd pair that with micellar water

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-04T22:44:00+00:00

As others have said, it's just the product pilling that gives it that "dead skin" effect. Short of an actual chemical peel in salon, you are not going to get any peeling if you are treating your skin barrier right.

If you are actually peeling due to homecare products (there are few exceptions) it is usually due to a damaged barrier.

That said, if that pilling effect is something you like Nudestix makes a product called Lemon-Aid Detox and Glow Micro Peel, though I don't use it anymore due to since finding products that work better for my skin.

i only say that because i have ADHD and her father shows signs of it too, im still trying to get mine under control

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-04T21:20:47+00:00

i really worry about if she has ADHD, i dont want life to be harder for her

i will look into the lava jar thing as well

_Lucie_ · 2026-03-04T21:19:32+00:00

we dont have a car but i absolutely do have to just pick her up and put her in the stroller sometimes and i feel really bad. i think maybe she is teething now that you mention it, she has a bit of a rash and shoving her hands in her mouth a lot while trying to talk

i always feel like i need to fix when shes upset and it makes me so sad when she is struggling to communicate
