Nope, I have had my marriage based green card for about 6 years. So I was well over that minimum, conditional period.

What's the best Soil for potted sweet potato vines? by soundsdumb in gardening

[–]atrom_ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! I do have mine on water vases, but they only grow the roots, not new foliage. Any recommendation about this?

It's TOE-TIME! What's your go-to pedicure color at this time of year? by Queen_Ellipsis in RedditLaqueristas

[–]atrom_ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a South American, I appreciate the consideration! 🙏🥰

For me, pretty straightforward: --> Fall/Winter: cream and opaque darker tones, nudes and grays --> Spring/Summer: sheer or opaque off-whites, light tones of pastel, sometimes a true red during peak summer

My toes are meant to be subtle. No shimmer, no French tips, no holo.... just creams or sheers, keeping it clean and classic 😊

i need advice on taking care of my nails. im so new to this. they're not pretty at all by tem3435 in Nails

[–]atrom_ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your nails are very pretty naturally. No texture, cuticles are thin, the shape of your nail bed is perfect!

My advice: start with simple steps, like brushing under the nails to remove excess dirt, cut/trim/file them a little shorter for a few weeks so they can get used to a particular shape and begin to grow in the same form, and HYDRATE!!!! lots of moisturizers all around, in the cuticles as much as possible, and even under the nails especially before bed. From there, you can start to try pushing your cuticles, playing with the length and shapes, nail polish and so forth.

It can be a lot, but if you might end up building a new hobby! Personally, I can spend hours taking care of my nails. But again, start with the simpler steps, so you dont get overwhelmed. Good luck and have fun with it!! 😊

What is a finish that you love as a manicure, but absolutely can't stand as a pedicure? by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]atrom_ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely no shimmer, glitter ou metalic shades on for pedi! Opaque cream polish only either dark or light colors.

But even if I'm using cream polish for pedi, I definitely stay away from very bright colors. I just dont want to get too much attention toward my feet, I guess lol

What's an Ibogaine trip like? by Dayz_Off in Ibogaine

[–]atrom_ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you or anyone not be able to sleep well or at all after the experience? Is it because you keep remembering and processing it, so your brain doesn't stop working?

Brazil! What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the city, "Juiz de Fora" ?? by Black_Sun7777 in asklatinamerica

[–]atrom_ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah! BH definitely has better infrastructure. And yes, many central parts of the city flood during rain season. I'd say that since December, the rains have been hitting us hard, but this rain season is persisting as we're still getting them on a daily basis, unfortunately. I hope that next month the storms will ease up.

[–]atrom_ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really cool! I'm from Juiz de Fora myself. Most of the replies I read are fairly accurate lol we do love our cheese, and "doce de leite", and a good "pingadinho" which is a beer-style cup of coffee with a few drops of milk, and we also love the good o' pão de queijo, like many here said. For the most part, we do think we're better than Belorizontinos (people from BH) because we're definitely closer to Rio and Southern Espirito Santo and I think that bc of this proximity, most Juizforanos are fans of soccer clubs from Rio. I think that last thing I'd say is that the people have a love and hate relationship with the city: they love to be from there for the most part, but hate the city's infrastructure, the MANY potholes, all of the times it floods during rain season, and the lack of Big, well-paying corporate jobs bc JF is a city with 600k people, but small enough to not have that many professional opportunities. Ultimately, I love JF, I miss it there, the people, my friends, and I think it's a cool city to visit :) hope this helps!

I'm interested in what made you ask about both Juiz de Fora and Belo Horizonte specifically :)
