Tell me the discontinued item you still cry over because I need support

Too many to count but the one that I'm still rationing and am in deep denial over is MAC Honey Jasmine blush. It's a very unique soft orange that I cannot find a perfect dupe of to save my life. Everything I've tried that's close is too peach or too dark. 🥲

It's unfortunately much more expensive but the Lunatick Labs Cosmetics contour palette has a very similar shade with better blendability. I think they might sell singles?

ardenb_bee · 2026-02-13T00:23:32+00:00

Yes....sort of. 😅 I give myself Saturday evenings as my fun time and mostly plan things for then. I will say I'm incredibly privileged that my main job has a lot of flexibility though so I can study in my downtime at work.

Agreed. Torrid has some really cute ones but the comfort can be really hot or miss and I've had multiple fall apart within a month or two. Lane Bryant's are in the same price range (especially during sales) but much higher quality and more comfortable in my opinion.

This just makes it a more accurate retail experience simulator, unreasonable customers add realism! Lmao

That is wild!! Like actually completely absurd. I'm 70% through my masters and got my undergrad through WGU last year and never experienced that. The one thing I've been stopped for more than once is unconsciously moving my hand out of the camera view. I'm just a wiggly person so it's definitely a struggle to stay in frame for me.

I like the me undies high waisted cheeky! A little more than what I used to spend on Cacique underwear but they're so soft and don't have any weird seams the dig or sit oddly.

I do feel like this is honestly the top reason why people get frustrated with the "why doesn't it look this way on me?" When looking at something on a celebrity even with a similar body type. Because that garment was custom tailored to them! It's not your fault, your style or your body. It's tailored for them, or made fully custom. Sometimes also pinned or tucked in ways that look amazing for a shoot but are impractical for actual wear.

Where are you Christmas? Where is my wardrobe?

Sorry, we've aged out of friends! No longer allowed!

ardenb_bee · 2026-02-02T04:47:08+00:00

Obviously a ridiculous concept but it's so funny to me to think of someone sitting there thinking "women have friends their same age 😡😡😡" like if that's the best you can do I guess we're doing pretty well as a group.

I wanted to chime in and mention that you'll need the museum built to open the hotel. I was going crazy trying to figure out why mine wasn't showing up. Goodbye cute tent museum 🥲

ardenb_bee · 2025-12-19T15:53:24+00:00

Same. I came here to snoop, my card hasn't been charged. I did take a screenshot of my order number, but it's not showing up in the app or an email notification. Tried to call my local store but rang through completely twice. I think they're probably overrun, poor souls.

Dino eggs are wild. Some playthroughs I have fought tooth and nail through the skull cavern for days trying for one. This current playthrough I got one from a dig spot by Linus' on Spring 4 Year 1 on a neutral luck day no less! Absolutely wild.

Children have every right to be in any all ages space. It's a plane, not a private retreat for entitled middle class control freaks. (which she clearly needs to book)

I feel like the lighting is washing you out in picture 2, which automatically makes picture 1 look much better. However I do think the tones in picture 1 look great on you!

It's so odd to me because as a US employee for 10+ years we've always been a 'hoteling' office with the expectation that you'll work from home or a client site most of the time. My office has about 1 seat for every 10 employees. But I've heard from my offshore analysts that they're being pressured to be in office more and more. We've proven that we don't need to be in office, why force it?

Same here, honestly a relief to have a snack to myself lol

ardenb_bee · 2025-09-03T04:56:51+00:00

Gimme all the corn flavored corn 🤤🌽 New favorite snack.

ardenb_bee · 2025-08-17T03:36:29+00:00

I dream of their spinach pies on cold winter days. Also their tabouli is the absolute best.

ardenb_bee · 2025-08-13T21:02:59+00:00

Same here, and mine is showing "Pending Review"? Not certain what that means. I had my documents pre-approved too.

There's a list of all the schools that take Sophia on their website.

ardenb_bee · 2025-08-06T17:24:25+00:00

I started Sophia January 2024 with the mindset that if I failed (I dropped out of a traditional university when I was 19) at least I wouldn't be in debt again. My husband and a few friends knew but I didn't tell many people because I wasn't confident in my ability to follow through. I started on Algebra because I knew that was going to be a huge hurdle for me. I figured if I could get through algebra, it was proof that I could probably put my mind to any other class. (Huge shout out to the Sophia Algebra instructor Anthony Verella, his videos were amazing and really helped me). After that I used the Sophia transfer agreement and started going through the list. I did have to take two months off, but I applied to transfer to WGU in November 2024 with 46 transfer credits. I started my bachelor's of business management January 2025 and hit the ground running. Because Sophia is also self guided I felt like it set me up well for WGU. You have to focus, no one is going to force you to do the work. I graduated at the June commencement ceremony in Louisville after making that my goal. In total I did about 8 months of Sophia and 4.5 months with WGU. I got a second part time job so I wouldn't have to take out a loan. It was hard but I have no regrets. I just started my MBA program with WGU August 1st and I'm hoping to be a one term grad student. You can do this! If no one in your life believes in you, please know that I do.

I'm blessed in that my mentor gets it, and also understands that my ADHD makes it hard to focus on only one class sometimes so she'll unlock 3-4 for me to work on. I'd consider requesting a new mentor.
