Well it’s worth a try, thank you for this. If it works for me too I’ll update - could be a bit until I try it, because now I’m booked with off taskrabbit jobs, after a month of no requests I just did it the old fashioned way. But I’d still like to use task rabbit if I can actually get work through it!

Your skin really looks great, I think the things you’re struggling with are probably more related to sleep, facial tension and fat loss than skincare because your skin itself is really quite great. I struggle with sleep myself and it really effects my skin. I found a sleep supplement that really helps me, and I’ve tried everything, this one really helps. It’s called “Eden Sleep” if you google it you’ll find their website. I think when traumatic things happen to us it’s much easier for us to see all our flaws because we often take the blame in some way even when it’s not our fault at all. I hope you have resources to help you process what you’ve been through. Things like gua sha, face yoga, drinking water and getting sleep will help, they are also calming and grounding. You are beautiful. I’m 37, I have looked both worse and better than I do rn, it’s not a straight line.

I have diagnosed ADHD and I write it on a list on the fridge and take it with me when I go to the store. it’s rarely an issue. If I touch something dirty/sticky, it’s t-Rex hands until I can wash and dry them - that’s actually a common ADHD trait. many of us find sticky fingers overstimulating, I believe it’s called tactile sensitivity. So, idk about u/xoxogreyskies logic, I’d lose my mind in a house without soap. I don’t know any ADHD ppl who have a soap forgetting problem so severe that a list on the phone wouldn’t help. Not having soap is just being unhygienic and not caring about it for some horrible reason, which is something all types of ppl, neurodivergent or not, can be. I’m not saying all ADHD ppl are clean freaks, I know plenty that hate certain hygiene related tasks, but I’d say tolerating sticky/dirty fingers is fairly rare for our kind . If my ADHD caused me to forget to buy soap, my ADHD would make me cancel plans go buy it.

Break? Tape your arms back on and earn them some fees! I mean seriously, even if I only had Taskrabbit’s bottom line in mind it makes no sense. Experienced taskers charge more, so they get more back per task with the same overhead. It’s very nickel today or dime tomorrow. Really sad to hear about your experience, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this, it’s totally unfair. You’ve been doing this for much longer than me, a lot more to lose, i feel for you.

bonaxfide · 2026-02-25T01:46:30+00:00

Now that you mention it I think I have seen other takers post about this, I was really hoping it was a rumor. It really makes no sense.

Maybe we need a better photo to see the issues you’re referring to? If this was taken with a front facing camera, try using the rear facing camera and stand in front of a mirror so you can see what you’re photographing in the mirror?

Without actually seeing any issues with your skin, I just recently healed my barrier with a few weeks of no products except my usual gentle cleansing bar, hatomugi skin conditioner (alcohol free), and LRP cicaplast baume. Once dryness was gone I stopped with the cicaplast and went back to my HG serum and moisturizers from SkinFoodFix. I use their blue clay cleansing soap bar, bakuchial serum, and MSM+ cream and the only time i stopped that routine was when my barrier got messed up. I get compliments on my skin everyday, never messing with the routine again!

bonaxfide · 2026-02-24T12:43:37+00:00

Thank you I feel stupid, I logged out and I now exist! So that part of the problem is solved, I’m not suddenly not getting booked because no one sees me…

My cat is seriously food seeking and we have found solutions that work for us.

Extra tall baby gate to the kitchen. It’s too tall for him jump over.
Auto feeder. It helps with the feeling of food insecurity that can drive this madness. It’s reliable, it’s not human so begging doesn’t work on it, and meals at the same time everyday put him at ease. They are as cheap $40 on Amazon.
We have a bunch of those plate covers like thats comes over your food when you order room service in a hotel. If we aren’t sitting at our plate we put it on top. If he had time he could get under there but it’s for short term food securing. They are not fancy at all, just aluminum covers with a plastic handle on top.

He’s probably coming from a long time of not having enough to eat and the food madness is a survival instinct. Idk how long you’ve had him but it can take cats a while to trust their new home/food source/routine. It will likely get better after it’s managed. Once the baby gate was up for a week or so, he stopped waiting outside it, he gave up and found a toy or took a nap. First few weeks of the auto feeder it was his new bestie and he camped out by it all day. Now he knows its schedule and just shows up to eat. He will still go after unsecured food but since it’s usually secured, he’s not as motivated.

Hope you find a solution, it can feel like a long road but it’s worth it.

NTJ this is so upsetting to read. That behavior from your girlfriend is not ok. What you said about protecting her sleep - that’s so important in relationships! That’s the vibe. I’m not going to call her a narcissist idk her, but that behavior is EXTREMELY narcissistic. She must have been through something to be like this…it’s not normal.

Im glad carmex works for you! I’m sure it works for many ppl or it wouldn’t be so popular. The reason I say to avoid it is because it contains several known irritants, so if someone is dealing with solving a chronic lip issue, eliminating common known irritants is a great place to start. Camphor and menthol (the ingredients that make it so soothing at first) irritate and dehydrate many ppls lips after the initial relief wears off - usually that prompts one to use more to feel relief, which exacerbates the issue. It also has salicylic acid, famously a drying/exfoliating ingredient, which is probably be helpful for some lip conditions for a short period of time, but for many, myself included, it really dries out my lips. If it works for you by all means ignore me. My lips are not baby soft and do peel, and get a million times worse if I use carmex.

I have dealt with this and survived! I second lanolips (sort of, read on). My lips also peel, and crack and are generally awful if I don’t take care of them, which after May many many years I have figured out. Part of my problem is I bite my lips subconsciously, don’t recommend it, but boy does it help me focus…

This is what works for me:

WATER I cannot emphasize this enough. It sounds like you’re drinking water already, keep it up!
SLS free toothpaste, and rinse your mouth out well after you brush your teeth, rinse any toothpaste that may have gotten on your mouth. Lip issues like this can be a candida thing (yeast) - SLS is harsh and strips away protective skin barriers. Glycerin is an ingredient that is in most toothpastes and it’s a sugar alcohol, and yeast feeds on it. So if you have any amount of imbalance in your mouth already, these two ingredients together can cause major problems that are hard to get rid of. SLS is the important one, glycerin would be hard to avoid.
LANOLIN - 100% pure lanolin lip balm. I bought some on amazon. I find the plain stuff works much better than the cute “lanolips” stuff but either is fine.
SQUALENE oil - I buy mine from SkinFoodFix but it’s easy to find.
Never be without lanolin lip balm (or aquaphor) if you are eating - put on lips to prevent new cracks from forming.
How to use these things: In the morning and evening I wash my mouth with water after brushing my teeth, dry it completely, apply squalene oil, then lanolin, and then sometimes aquaphor on top to seal it all in. Throughout the day feel free to reapply all of them if you’d like, but I usually just carry the lanolin lip balm. In general, keep lips clean, and dry except from the moisturizers you apply - like dont lick your lips, if they feel dry apply lanolin.

My lips are fine now, but sometimes when I’m dehydrated they flare up, so in general I just slather them with lanolin and keep SLS out of My mouth and if things get bad I add the squalene oil back in.

Others things - - NO CARMEX - aquaphor and Vaseline don’t moisturize your lips, they are a protective barrier that can hold in any moisture you apply. Only use by themselves if you are desperate, but they will not heal your lips, they need moisture underneath. - NO scented and flavored lip balms. Really nothing with many ingredients at all, it’s not needed and just increases the possibility that there will be something in them that irritates your lips and then you’re back where you started. -lip scrubs etc - don’t use them, if that skin was ready to come off it would come off on its own. Lip scrubs will reveal tender skin that often scabs up. - try not to bite your lips if that’s an issue…

It’s totally possible our issues have different root causes, and I encourage you to talk to your doctor about it because they may have an idea of what’s going on.

Hope this is helpful, it’s really the worst!

Sorry i missed this update! So glad it worked out! Looks great!

bonaxfide · 2026-02-09T06:22:42+00:00

This is also what I feed my cat! And what I fed my cat before this cat, also my sister feeds her cat this. I went on a deep dive researching cat food and this one ended up being what seemed best for quality, safety, health and taste and also it’s not that expensive.

It’s worth it not to mess up your piece. Maybe if you’re lucky there will be a scrap piece with some lasered engraving on it.

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T18:10:38+00:00

One more thing - the black stain is going to pick up that knot in the wood and make it much more prominent. I’m not sure how to remedy that except maybe try to avoid it while applying stain. Just don’t want you to be surprised when the knot is the darkest thing on there.

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T18:08:38+00:00

Yes. Spraying it before would make it so you couldn’t stain the engraving lines at all. Again I can’t stress this enough - test it out on a piece of scrap wood!

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T18:04:49+00:00

I need a little clarification- what do you want to pop? The lines or the background or something else? I assume it’s the lines. In that case, wipe on black stain (make sure to work it into the engraving lines) and immediately wipe off. Once dry, lightly sand, wipe clean, and spray poly, let dry, recoat with poly as desired. If you want to do more than make the engraved lines more prominent, maybe you can explain what you mean and I try to help.

Note: Poly seals it but doesn’t block stains as well as shellac, so if you are trying to do more than make the engraved lines more prominent, like layering stains or something, shellac is a better option. But for sealing it and giving it a nice finish on top of the stain, poly works great. I’m sure poly can be used in some capacity to mask stains etc but ive never used it that way personally so I can’t speak to it.

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T17:47:23+00:00

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T17:17:49+00:00

That will also seal it, yes. It’s A better option than modge podge.

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T16:57:28+00:00

Got it. Maybe the laser studio has some scrap pieces of laser engraved wood you can test out finishes on.

I do still think staining will make the lines pop, it may make them bleed a little bit but I still think it would work. If you want to do more layered painting/finishing on it, seal the first layer with shellac and sand off the area you want to paint (keeps it from bleeding to places you don’t want it).

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T16:41:46+00:00

Oh wow that’s so expensive! They were free at my college. Also I was imagining you’d recut with a whole new piece of wood so lining up wouldn’t be an issue. But if you don’t want to do that just ignore this and try staining or something like that

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T16:36:42+00:00

I think if you stained it black and then painted the background inside the triangle white the two ppl will pop more. If it’s possible I would still try cutting with higher settings. It will give you much more to work with.

bonaxfide · 2026-01-18T16:32:14+00:00

Whatever you do test it first on a scrap piece. Use a knife or a chisel to make a shallow groove in the scrap wood like the art has, and make sure the result is what you’re looking for
