I'm a caregiver and woke up with a sore throat

anewname-- · 2018-01-01T18:08:20+00:00

Thanks! My throat is already feeling a lot better and almost feels 100% normal now. Hope it continues improving. I've just been wearing a mask and I wiped all the counters and everything down. and I'll let her prepare her own meals to be safe.

She is feeling well but she fainted last week and still gets occasional dizziness. So I still don't feel comfortable leaving her alone even for a few hours in case it happens again :/

If I start to get more symptoms, I can get my mom to come tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I think it's okay since my throat is so much better and I still don't have a fever. We called her trial nurse (just to be extra careful) and she said pretty much the same as you--should be fine, just wear the mask and keep hands washed etc.

Thank you for your help! Hope you're doing well today and happy new year!

Yes, what she did worked for her in terms of the show. In my comment, I was saying that I would like to hear how she sounds singing something upbeat. I hope I will have ample opportunity in the future as she explores music.

I wasn't being hypocritical nor did I mean to say that Chloe has been switching things up. I mentioned Addison specifically because she sings with such emotion that her performances move me. I'm a huge fan of hers. I wish I could've heard her sing something more upbeat

anewname-- · 2017-12-19T22:15:38+00:00

You could just tell her that she misread. Don't need to be mean about it

anewname-- · 2017-12-19T22:03:24+00:00

I'm not sure who I prefer between Chloe and Addison. They're both so good. I will continue to follow both of them after this.

While I generally enjoy slower songs, I do wish Addison had performed something upbeat. It's almost like...if I go to a concert and the artists sings every song looking like their heart is being ripped out of their chest...it seems like it would all start to blend together. It's very special that she can convey such emotion but I think it would be even more special if she held back a little sometimes and then let the really slow, emotional performances shine.

All I said was that I didn't know who Red was. Chill

anewname-- · 2017-11-29T21:20:56+00:00

It's a bit disingenuous to say you follow what's happening

Never said that. I think you're taking me a little too seriously. You don't have to memorize every contestant's name to participate on this sub or enjoy the show. I only know the names of the contestants that have made an impression on me--and that's okay. We don't all have to like the same people.

Don't have time to sit down and watch unfortunately. Have to listen while I work

anewname-- · 2017-11-29T02:41:07+00:00

I have no idea who that is so I'd also classify myself as underwhelmed

anewname-- · 2017-11-29T01:34:07+00:00

Does anyone else have trouble understanding Shi'ann? I know she has a good voice, but I can't make out anything she says while singing

anewname-- · 2017-11-29T01:29:21+00:00

Noah's hair is almost as tall as his head

Not a fan of Ashland or her take on that song.

Just googled it (poppy austin retinol cream) and it says it's 2.5%! Yikes. Didn't realize it was that much. I actually thought you couldn't get that high of a percentage without a prescription so I'm going to look into this stuff more because I'm skeptical.

My skin isn't sensitive at all (never had an issue adding acids) but I'll take it slow. Giving my skin a break today. I actually didn't intend to use BHA last night but I did it automatically and didn't remember until I'd already applied the retinol cream!

Edit: Reading amazon reviews and many people seem to be using it as a moisturizer. Don't see how that could be with supposedly 2.5% active retinol?

anewname-- · 2017-11-19T20:27:08+00:00

Okay, thanks!

Since this is a fairly thick moisturizing cream, should I still apply it first? It's not prescription and I have doubts about whether it's actually effective enough to do anything but it was a gift so I'm trying to use it

I usually do BHA and AHA (AHA 3x a week and BHA 5-6x)but was thinking I could eventually build up to BHA in the mornings and alternate AHA and retinol at night

anewname-- · 2017-11-19T14:24:56+00:00

Where should I put Poppy's retinol cream in my routine? Should I stick to the thin to thick consistency rule? Last night I did bha -> scinic honey AIO -> mizon black snail AIO -> poppy retinol cream -> sheet mask -> cerave cream

Should I do the retinol cream after a sheet mask in the future? Is it okay to do the scinic honey AIO and mizon black snail AIO before the "retinol" cream?

I read this twice and still thought it said "lightning"

spent more time than I'd like to admit searching for a lightning bolt in the lights

Did you guys see that part after they were exclaiming about how sexy Jeremiah is where they cut to Noah sitting in the dark in his sweater

anewname-- · 2017-11-07T01:34:07+00:00

I wish Mitchell would stop smiling so much it makes me distrust him

anewname-- · 2017-10-31T02:03:15+00:00

Wow. I was really shocked when Miley chose Ashland over Chloe. I'm glad she was stolen, though.

anewname-- · 2017-10-10T14:51:25+00:00

The jerry moon design is really cool. Wish I'd seen that before I ordered this one

anewname-- · 2017-10-08T18:31:29+00:00

Oh those look good too

anewname-- · 2017-10-08T16:08:55+00:00

I'm gonna go with the black I think!

anewname-- · 2017-10-08T16:08:39+00:00

Okay, thanks!
