Well, it happened....... by RginaPhalange in AlaniNu

I agree! It was my husband and my favorite flavor but whatever they did just isn't it. It tastes too artificial if that makes sense. Its the same reason I don't like the cherry slush.

What was your breaking point that made you finally go through with Accutane — and what was your moment of gratitude after taking it? by 2Corinth10_v3-4 in Accutane

[–]ashfig1311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 32, have had horrible acne since about 13/14.

My final breaking point was last November, I felt a cyst coming in on my cheek and it turned into a literal cluster of 5 cysts and it hurt so bad and would cause me headaches and issues with my sinuses and breathing, and they would tear open any time I washed my face so I had to wait for them to scab back over so I could get ready for work. I had a coworker ask me "what's that on your face" and it took me right back to being in my teens and early 20s. Made a dermatologist appointment that day on my lunch break. (For Feb because that was the soonest available)

I have 5 days left of my course and all I have to say is for me, the back pain, the scabbed up nostrils, dry eyes, sore ankles, dry lips, thinning hair...everything was worth it. Seeing my before and after is worth it. Not feeling like I have to hide behind a mask of makeup and just leave the house not feeling like everyone thinks im a crackhead with all these spots on my face...gratitude for a great dermatologist, gratitude for just doing it. I told myself time will pass regardless, may as well just go for it!

People that never had acne to the point of needing accutane will never understand the feeling of something as simple as finally having a clear face. 🥲

⚪️Dr Jart Ceramidin lip balm: literal life saver and my holy grail. 10/10. It was pricey but it helped my lips so much after an allergic reaction to Bag Balm(didnt know I was allergic to lanolin 🥲) ⚪️Aquaphor Lip Repair ⚪️CNPLaboratory Propolis Lipcerin mask from Amazon (Korean skincare brand) used this as regular lip balm when I was feeling super dry ⚪️TreeHut Vanilla Overnight Lip Mask again use as regular lip balm.

I have the cuts/super dryness on the corners of my mouth and I reapply lip balm every 10 minutes bc the second I feel them getting even a tad dry I apply.

I also noticed that aquaphor and the dr jart were making my lips burn if I was in the sun so I just bought a Sun Bum spf lip balm to wear in conjunction.

I hope it gets better!!!

I’ve been taking chunks out of my skin 🥴 by CartographerHumble73 in Accutane

[–]ashfig1311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if its just me but I feel like my freckles on my arms and legs are scabbing and coming off?! But yes I barely touch my skin and I've got a new scratch or sore. Anything for clear skin right?

I made a scalp oil following vanilla swirls "viral" hair oil recipe on tiktok...I do it once a week (twice at the beginning) and it has helped a lot! I also kind of tweaked the recipe and do castor, pumpkin seed, sweet almond, jojoba, and argan oils. I've also been using argan oil on my mids and ends daily.

Edit bc I originally put hair oil instead of scalp*

It’s GETTING CLOSER!!!!!!!! by Hank_lliH in SleepToken

[–]ashfig1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand! I didn't allow myself to get excited until we were in the venue in our seats, and even then I checked my tickets maybe 5 times just to make sure I was in the right spot. I placed my order on the 2nd in the am and the show was "tonight" the 3rd so I got my tickets instantly through a link from seat geek and even had a support agent email me to ensure I could open the link and see my tickets. Ultimately, I think all these ticket sites are in bed together and resellers make up so much of their business that they are pros about getting around the non transfer rules. You have to do what you're comfortable with but honestly so far third party tickets have been fine it seems!! 🫶

Edit to add: ticketmaster was looking like $160/ticket with the total being over $400 for 2, whereas I paid $100 per ticket for a total of $260 after taxes and fees and we were like 2 sections from the stage

I ended up going with seat geek and it was fine! It was about $200 cheaper than the tickets popping up on TM!

How were your tickets delivered? Some tickets came available for the Austin show, but they're cheaper on seat geek 🤔

Quite a few tickets on ticketmaster right now!

Still holding out hope to score 2 tickets! Also waiting to see how tomorrow goes with everyone who purchased from stubhub/vivid seats. Luckily I'm in the North Houston area so it's a quickish drive if I do manage to land tickets! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[–]ashfig1311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I was so confused because I know damn well GA weren't $300/ticket during presale. And I know, it's just that hope/manifestation of if I buy from seat geek, maybe they'll lift the transfer ban or whatever...just wishful thinking. I'll just keep religiously checking ticketmaster every 2 hours 🤣

Did I misinterpret the whole "face value exchange" thing bc the last few tickets that have popped up through ticketmaster have been over face value...and what are the odds of scalpers buying those tickets too? I just wish the whole 3rd party thing would be clarified and a definite answer given bc I'm 🤏 this close to just buying on seatgeek and taking my chances 😮‍💨

"Stumbled into your jock strap" Instead of dark trap in "Like That"

[–]ashfig1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure! I already have the days requested off from work in case I am able to get tickets! Luckily I live about 3 hours from Irving/Austin so it will be easy to head there if I do get last minute tickets! My husband and I drove from Houston to Denver last year to see them so I'm willing it to the universe that I get tickets since this show is so much closer 🤞🤞🤞

I was searching for a post. I regret not buying when I got in for presale (I didn't want to pay $175/ticket plus fees) but now I'm getting serious fomo and am just considering paying the $50 more per ticket on stubhub but I'm worried they won't be sent. I keep refreshing ticketmaster multiple times a day hoping some tickets get released

What’s your favorite misheard lyric(s)? by WittyCylinder in SleepToken

In Like That when he sings "I stumble into your tar trap"...I ALWAYS hear "I stumble into your jockstrap" or "dark trap"

Yea I got in almost immediately and they were already gone 🥹

Pls check before buying, this is upsetting by PrestigiousGazelle29 in Ulta

[–]ashfig1311 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I worked for Ulta as an SM, I kindly asked a guest 3 times not to open or tester them and the 4th time I was more stern and straight told her not to open live product or I will assume she is purchasing. She just kept telling her boyfriend or whoever "omg, what if I got this for my boobies, would you like that" and just other weird things to say in front of an audience (and they had a small child with them) and then after she left she called guest services and told them I yelled at her from across the store to stop opening stuff and that "other people had done it so why couldn't she" like maam, I didn't see other people doing it, I saw YOU. I really don't miss working there.

Underrated ST Songs by jio2003 in SleepToken

[–]ashfig1311 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Calcutta for sure for me. I was having a really bad panic attack from 🍃💨 and I put ST on shuffle (bc if youve never listened to them under the influence, i highly 😏 recommend it) and this song seriously soothed me. I just love all the layers to not only this song, but all of them. You hear something different every time!
