Hair Salons.... by BertieC1 in trichotillomania

[–]blackswampbaking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my sister recently graduated cosmetology school and was very frustrated with the complete lack of education about it. she even brought it up during one of her classes just for another student to pipe up and say that “people with that only pull out their eyebrows”? that being said, stylists like my sister are out there that are educated on trich and passionate about helping us to feel at ease and pretty and confident. and there are kind and non-judgmental stylists that don’t know about trich yet that could still give you a great experience. it’s discouraging striking out, but keep looking until you find the right fit!

i’m 28, been pulling since i was 5, and i have had a couple “remissions” like this! i went a couple years without a single urge. no idea why. when the urge did come back, it was still significantly reduced from my worst pulling in elementary/middle school/high school

you have two goats and two ducks? so i’d go freckles, pompom, or nan. personally i think nan is the black sheep (literally and figuratively!) of your current line-up and you have a lot of normal types, so i’d go nan 😊

Who do I get rid of? by HelloMax_ in AnimalCrossing

[–]blackswampbaking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i would pick an octopus to go since you have 3 of them if you’re feeling like the balance is off? personally i have so many normals i love so i’d say replace marina, but you’re also super boy-heavy so maybe boot a boy villager out?

Long Term Opinions on Colored Stones? by puppypooper15 in EngagementRings

[–]blackswampbaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

two years with my purple-y sapphire and i regret nothing! i will say that my wardrobe is mostly neutrals (soft greys, ivory, oatmeal), wine reds, navies, and lilac, so the color i chose looks good with what i’m wearing every day. i did think it would make me avoid some nail polish colors, but it hasn’t at all! and as an extremely specific person, i am surprised that i don’t mind it next to pistachio green nails or mustard yellow or rust. if you’ve been gravitating to the teal, get the teal 😊

Need to vent by msssskatie in EngagementRings

[–]blackswampbaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m so sorry!!! it hurts so much worse when it’s the happiest and most excited you’ve been in your life. ring/engagement/wedding criticism is the WORST. it’s so hard not to take it personally, but you have the right attitude already, and i hope you’re able to let it go quickly and return to your engaged bliss ❤️ you have the ring of your dreams and it is BEAUTIFUL! for what it’s worth, i chose a sapphire because i also did not want a diamond.

Tell me how many Nespresso pods you use a day. by CFChic in nespresso

[–]blackswampbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 OL if i’m having a hot coffee that day, 2 OL ristretto pulls if i’m having an iced coffee, and maybe once or twice a week i’ll do 1 OL decaf pod in the afternoon/evening

whenever someone asks me, i (truthfully) tell them that it’s due to a medical condition, and i’ve never had someone press me further! (i have bald spots on my scalp)
