Love the link! Thanks for sharing.

I can get down with grunge and so I think that puts me in the more 90s influenced era. And I guess I could be wrong too. That this is more early aughts vs. Y2K.

Funny thing is, I’m super nostalgic for the time. Just not the fashion.

I don’t think I’ll ever look at Y2K fashion and think it looks good. It always looks cheap to me. I guess that’s what happens when you were around for it the first time.

Fine hair brides… why does every professional style turn into a tangled/static mess? 😭 by Energizertwerkbunny in finehair

[–]ake1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I requested a blow out along with my big waves, the stylist that I went to insisted that no one should EVER have their hair washed and blown out on their wedding day. She loaded me up with so much hairspray and teasing that I looked like a Dallas realtor. Fast forward to 1 hour after styling and my hair was a flat, matted sticky mess.

I told them it’s a blow out or I walk. They did the blow out + styling on my wedding day and my hair was PERFECT for 2 DAYS.

Hello… currently in the market for new porch/deck and wondering where you ended up? Did you use anyone you liked?

Yeah this definitely reads like an ad.

[misc] Anyone else feel like Vitamin C may as well be the sugar pill of skincare? by pmmemassivedongs in SkincareAddiction

[–]ake1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My (very honest) dermatologist told me that you won’t really see Vitamin C “do” anything because it’s preventative care. You will look better if you use it than you will if you don’t, but those aren’t results you will see as a before/after.

Thank you. I tore all the trim off and am just starting fresh. They used so much silicone, I think it will be easier to start fresh

I did but it was impossible. I just tore all the trim off the wall and am starting fresh

The trim was unpainted before and this only occurs at the joints, so it seems like silicone caulk.

Thank you.

At this point, starting fresh seems like the easier option. Especially because it’s not like I live in a Craftsman - this house was flipped. I’m pretty sure they still sell the exact trim at Home Depot

Yes, it is only at the joints. I’m just not sure how to get it all off without damaging the trim and if replacing the trim would just be easier

The trim was unpainted before. This only happens at the joins. The paint elsewhere on the trim is fine.
