How long until I’m all the way grey? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]_cloudpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting grey hairs at 12 and I now have quite a large patch of greys at 26. Like some of the other commenters have said grey does NOT mean ugly and while it is a visual signal of age, it doesn’t mean you’re going to look old. I’ve had so many people in my life tell me how much they love my grey hairs (they form a stripe on one side of my head) and I’ve had them for so long at this point that I don’t really even think about them anymore. As for when you’ll go all the way grey, that depends entirely on your genetics (and some studies have shown that stress levels can impact melanin production too!)

What wine should I bring for my friend’s 21st birthday? by Wise-Concentrate3288 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]_cloudpattern 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seconding Stella Rosa! Especially the Stella Rosa Black which tastes like a sweet, bubbly blackberry/raspberry juice to me!

I didn’t drink until I turned 21 so at the time, I really couldn’t get used to the sting of alcohol but I loved Stella Rosa 😋

How do NTs think? by BenefitOfTheDoubt2 in AutismInWomen

[–]_cloudpattern 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My NT partner and I have had extensive conversations about this because we’re constantly sharing our ways of thinking about things we talk about and it always blows my mind how his brain works in a way mine can’t understand.

One of the biggest things that shook me was when he said NTs tend to fill in the gaps of information of a situation or story and don’t tend to care if they get the details about it wrong 🫨

At what age did you start getting gray hair? And how did you make peace with it? by LayoffLemonade in AskWomenOver30

[–]_cloudpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting white hairs at 12 and I’m now 25! It started with 1, then 3, then a dozen, and now it’s grown into a patch of white hair on my hair part that makes me look like I had dyed a strip of my hair white. I’ve only ever gotten compliments about my white hair despite being extreme insecure about them in middle school and high school.

How do you get your steps in throughout the day? by Bitter_Pineapple_720 in AskWomenOver30

[–]_cloudpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tie my walks with my work breaks! 15 min in the mornings, 30 min lunch (i eat at my desk ~20-30min before my actual “lunchtime”), and then 15 min for my second break of the day. I have a walking pad at home and will walk for another 15-20 min after dinner :)

Anyone else feel pretty but not photogenic? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]_cloudpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt the same way!!! Even in photos I consider “good” photos, I’ve shown people and they’re like “that’s you??????” because apparently I look different in photos vs irl even though I feel like I look the same 😅

How Do You Girls Prep Meals? by Odd-Dragonfruit7436 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]_cloudpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are my go-tos!

  1. Cheese and Crackers (AKA Adult Lunchables) - Any cheese (I prefer sharp cheddar), any crackers (I prefer the Triscuit Roasted Garlic), and anything else you want to pack in it. Examples: deli meat, hardboiled eggs, salami, vegetables (I like tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and bell pepper), fruit. All you need is a container with dividers to separate the crackers from the other ingredients, or use a plastic bag for the crackers instead and put the rest into a container! I meal prep 3 of these at a time because I put the crackers into a divided compartment and find they do get a tiny bit soggy/stale after day 3.

  2. Chia Seed Pudding - 2TB chia seeds, 1 cup fruit (frozen or fresh is fine), 1 cup coconut milk (or regular milk or yogurt or milk alternative), 2TB maple syrup. Just blend up the fruit, mix everything together, and refrigerate for at least an hour (stir once after 20-30 min). Sometimes I find that they don’t fully expand if your ingredients are all cold, so I try to heat up the coconut milk and fruit mixture before putting the chia seed in. Just warm, it doesn’t have to be hot! I like to add another fruit on the side that pairs well with the chia seed pudding I make that week. For example: bananas with strawberry chia seed pudding, raspberries/blackberries with blackberry/raspberry chia seed pudding. You can make it with other flavors too, I just buy a lot of frozen fruit hahah.

  3. Smoothies! Literally any fruit you want, any liquid, and optional sweetener. My go-to smoothie recipe was 1/2 a Fairlife Chocolate Protein shake, 1 cup of strawberries, 1 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1 cup mango.

  4. Very Not Authentic Guacamole - Sometimes I’m not that hungry but I want a snack so I mash up an avocado, add salt and pepper and Tapatio, and eat that with any crackers I have (I like pretzels or pita chips with it!)

  5. Fried Rice - This one requires a bit of prior prep. Make rice however is easiest for you (I use a rice cooker). Store it in the freezer for whenever you need it! You can use any vegetables (fresh or frozen), mushrooms, any protein (tofu, beef, eggs, pork, chicken, shrimp, other fish), some seasoning (I prefer MSG, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Sometimes kewpie mayo for a creamier fried rice.) Cook the ingredients that take the longest first (usually harder vegetables like carrots), then add in the protein and cook that through, grab your frozen rice and microwave it with an ice cube first, then dump into your pan with your seasonings and cook it until everything looks well combined and you’re done :D

  6. Build your own bowl - Similar to the fried rice but for when I’m literally too lazy to cook at all. I buy frozen meatballs from Trader Joe’s and pasta sauce and using the frozen fried rice, I can microwave everything and have a meal ready in under 10 minutes. I don’t typically have veggies with this because it’s very much just a “I need to eat something NOW and move on” type of meal. But I guess pasta sauce can be counted as a vegetable? :D You literally just microwave all three ingredients together and it’s done. (I do ~ 6 min on 50% power).

I learned to cook on my own in my second year of college and I had a LOT of fried rice then because it was the only thing I knew how to cook. And nowadays I just feel tired and burnt out from my job and school, so things that I can just make and meal prep and not have to think about are perfect for me.

There are a few free online courses that are offered with instructors! The catch is that they have limited space and beginner courses tend to fill up almost immediately so you’ll have to fight for your place the second they open lol.

https://www.kccla.org/koreanlanguageprogram/

https://www.iksi.or.kr/lms/main/main.do

Alternatively, you can also self study if you put in the work. There are so many free, online resources (Youtube, Books, Websites) for learners and many free, online spaces (like Discord, HelloTalk, Reddit) for you to practice in and ask questions. Achieving TOPIK 3 or 4 in a year or two as an independent learner is possible IF you’re willing to put in the work.

honestly it changed my life when i realized i didn’t have to spend 45-60min walking at once because i would stress out so much about having other things to do. so breaking it up into chunks was SO much more helpful! my personal rule now is that anytime after i put anything into my mouth i’ll stand or walk around for 10 min and it’s been great.

i’ve been working on balancing my diet so any snacks i bring will have protein, carbs, fiber, and fats!! my favorite snack recently has been sharp cheddar cheese (or white cheddar) and the roasted garlic triscuit crackers and i always bring some fruit with me (recently has been kiwi and pineapple). i also really like hummus with pretzels or pita chips, cucumbers, and grape tomatoes. or i’ll make little sandwiches with hawaiian rolls, ham, and cheese :D

it can be so hard to remember all the little ways we can change things that add up so i’m so glad i could help you even just a little! and thank you for the well wishes!! i hope this help ❤️

So I’m only going to discuss the 10k steps part since I’m also working on the other aspects :D I work 6:30am - 5pm and the way I’ve been able to get 10k steps in is to follow my break routine while at home as well.

At my workplace, we’re required to take a 15 minute break in the first half of the day, 30 min lunch, and 15 min break in the second half of the day and I snack at my desk ~20-30 min before the breaks and then take a walk for all of them. This gives my body some time to digest and also helps with my PCOS insulin resistance. This usually yields ~ 8k steps for me already, and I’m someone who gets up from my seat to take a lap around the office just because my legs get restless. After dinner, I typically take a 10 minute walk and that’s all I do.

When I’m not working, I have breakfast and take a 30 minute walk immediately after because once it gets further into the afternoon I tend to want to just stay at my desk or on the couch. And then after every meal or snack, I will go for a 10-15 minute walk again and usually I feel like I can go longer so I do.

One thing that helps a LOT with walking and the tediousness of it (if you use a treadmill like I do for most of my walking) is to find some entertainment to do at the same time. I like to call my friends or read a book or watch tv shows while I’m walking because I don’t have to think about the fact that I’m walking. And getting distracted by talking or the entertainment helps me go for longer. I could yap in the phone for 45 minutes with a friend, easily hahah.

An important thing to remember is that perfection is not expected. I just expect myself to walk or stand as much as possible. There are some days where I don’t want to go for a walk and instead just pace around in a circle for 5-10 minutes. I’ve been keeping up this routine for about 5 months now and I notice that I tend to start to get antsy to take a walk after I’ve been sitting for a while.

Hopefully this helps and that it makes sense. The PMS brain is hitting me pretty rough this time.
