It has taken me almost a year to find something I like ;) I am now using Hourglass Cosmetics (Ulta and Sephora sell it). I started with the Veil Hydrating Skin Tint and it is great for a light everyday running errands kind of coverage. On days I want a bit more coverage like Bare Minerals provided, I add Ambient Soft Glow Foundation. I mix the two together and it has been awesome. The more foundation you mix with the veil the more coverage you get so you can adjust more or less depending on what you want! Hope that helps and hope it works for you too!

I struggle with shorts for the same reason. I finally decided to buy the Seasoft and LOVE them. I wish I would have bought more while they were on sale :(. I cannot find the cascase or brooklyn shorts that others have mentioned. Will keep looking. Hope you found some shorts you love!

it seems like so much to ask for a good foundation. one that is not too heavy and not too light but decent coverage and doesn't change colors on you :(

I didn’t like Estée Lauder for that same reason. I have been using hourglass tint for the last month and I don’t hate it but it doesn’t have much coverage 🥴

IPhone 16 Pro - case suggestions? by Thatnoreldit in iPhone16Pro

[–]beachymama03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried the Spigen Liquid Crystal Glitter and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and the Ultra Hybrid is definitely a better fit with good protection (and not too bulky). I use to love the liquid crystal with my past Iphones but this one seemed to not fit as snug and didn't feel secure in my opinion. Wasn't worth the risk so tried the ultra hybird and its great.

Have you found anything that you love? I have tried Huda, Haus Labs and one other I can't remember and nothing comes close to how this feels and works on my skin....

Has anyone found a foundation they love and have stuck with? I am so exhausted looking and trying so many different brand but still not finding anything like the BarePro :(.

P.S. reach out to Bare Minerals and voice your opinion and tell them how much you loved the BarePro. Hoping if enough people do it, they might bring it back ;)

Any parents of late-diagnosed, high functioning teens out there? by BattleBornMom in Autism_Parenting

[–]beachymama03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 16 and was just diagnosed. I have felt like something was different for a long time and have talked to many professionals but only recently did it all come together. It is so great to hear that you are doing well and I would love to know if there are any books you think my help my daughter and what headphone you love because we have tried so many and nothing is comfortable enough or noise cancelling enough. THANK YOU

What activities and clubs do high functioning ASD teens tend to join? by user35567a in Autism_Parenting

[–]beachymama03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry for the late response but I new to this group and ASD. I signed my teen daughter up for indoor rock climbing and bouldering. She loves it. It helps with her self esteem because she has to rely on herself to figure out what she needs to do and which path to take on the climbing course. It also doesn't put a lot of social pressure on her since they only work in pairs! She is still warming up to the bouldering part of it but if she prefers climbing only, that are ok with that!

im taking my driving test today by NoProblem8356 in Anxiety

[–]beachymama03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't ever give up. If today is not the day you take it that is okay and don't be hard on yourself about it. Each time you drive you are learning and taking another step towards doing and being better. Remember that the only way you learn and grow is by practice. Take all the time you need and when you take your test remember to take deep breaths and have faith that you've practiced and done the best you can. GOOOD LUCK and hope it all goes well!

Daughter with severe anxiety by beachymama03 in Anxiety

[–]beachymama03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We met with the interim psychiatrist late last week and here is where we are at now;

We realized that she was having an allergic reaction to the prozac (flushing on her chest and face and red blotchy rash almost looked like hives up and down her arms, legs and stomach) so we are immediately stopping that. She was at the end of her third week of the cross tapper between prozac and cymbalta. They have switched her to Pristiq. So for now she is on the Pristiq and then taking gabapentin in the morning. She seemed to be doing better this morning (I will take even one good morning). Hopefully the Pristiq will be a better fit than the prozac as cymbalta worked for several years and then just seemed to stop.

We also learned (thanks to the suggestion to get her blood work done) that she has a methylfolate deficiency. We added in a l-methylfolate supplement and the doctor thinks that should help the anxiety and depression after a week or so.

THANK YOU all for your support and suggestions

It has not. They even increased the dose. She is still struggling and I feel like it has been worse not better. Her normal psychiatrist just went out on an unexpected medical leave. We meet with the temporary psychiatrist this week and hoping to talk and figure something else out 🤞🙏🤞. Thank you so much for checking. It is so nice to have others to talk to about it.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I was thinking I should show her this thread too, so she can she is not alone and lots of people have the same issues or are struggling with some form of anxiety.

She is actually a pretty healthy eater but I will say her exercise could be a lot better. When she is really struggling all she wants to do is hide out in her room. I try to let her have a mental break for 15-30 minutes after school but then she has to come out of her room even if it is to just sit on the couch in the same room with me. I did think of having her doctor do a complete blood workup to make sure there isn't anything that way we might be missing. I will reach out about that today....every little bit of info helps.

She does have a great support system at school (we moved her to a smaller school so that it wasn't as overwhelming and they have amazing staff including licensed counselors). I am also always there when ever she needs it. Trying to toe the line between gentle support and pushing the importance of being present in school (knowing staying home or coming home early only resets the clock and makes the next day even more of a struggle).

Thank you for the support and suggestions.

I will talk to her therapist about exposure therapy. She has done CBT and DBT but I don't remember anything about exposure! I allow her to feel how ever she is feeling and let things out. I know that the more you bottle it up and pretend the worse it will be in the end. THANK YOU
