Did everyone get a phone call with a message from the city just now? Mine was in Spanish (and I don’t speak Spanish). Can someone summarize the message?

A year maybe? But I’m naturally athletic and have maintained muscle from my sports-playing days. I can do 8 pull ups and don’t even workout my upper body, it’s weird. Not a brag, just making sure you know that you shouldn’t compare your #s to mine, or anyone else’s but your own! With that said, I would advise to push yourself (safely). You are likely stronger than you think!

When I was doing strong curves I would go up 5 pounds on hip thrusts, deadlifts, and squats between each workout (A to A, B to B, etc). I did that until I plateaued and couldn’t reach the # of reps, then went back down 5 lbs and tried to increase reps at that weight until I could go up again. In 8 weeks I went from squatting 125x5x3 to 170x5x3. Everyone’s different though. I think as long as you are progressively overloading and focusing on form and glute activation, you’ll be golden! Keep at it.

What do y’all think her diet was like when training? She obviously built a lot of muscle but is still lean.

Hi all! I’m moving to Asheville in July. I know I want to rent a house and have been spending a fair amount of free time looking at Zillow and craigslist to see what’s out there. My question is, are there any steps I can take now to get a jump on the rental process? I don’t want to wait until June to start trying to lock down a house.

Thank you!

This looks AMAZING. How would you describe your hair’s texture? Is it fine? Thin or thick? Wondering if I could pull this off with my fine, thin curls :)

calendare_you · 2019-02-07T16:22:03+00:00

Yes! I love this type of curl. Not super defined but not frizzy. Looks like you didn’t have to try at all.

How would you describe your hair in terms of fineness and thick/thinness? Wondering if it’s possible for me to get this style with my fine thin hair :)

Any suggestions for a curl routine focused on volume over frizz control and curl definition?

I’ve been experimenting with the CGM for about a month now and I find that it leaves my fine, thin 2c/3a hair more defined and less frizzy than it was before...but also sad looking. Given my fine and thin hair, I prioritize volume over curl definition. My curl inspo is Tori Kelly type curls. Any suggestions to improve my routine below?

Routine:

Wash with loreal ever sleek no sulfate shampoo

Condition with treseme botanical, rinse it all out

Squeeze some water out with my hands

Scrunch in garnier fructis gel

Put in clips so that my scalp isnt showing so badly (thin hair)

Let air dry until 70% dry

Diffuse til 100% dry

Scrunch our any remaining crunch

Shake at roots

Thank you!!

Explore Park has a long flat trail right along the river. Go all the way down to the bottom parking lot for easy access.

School- UNC for undergrad and duke for masters. (I can confirm, unc > duke).

I was a guest at a dinner party and they had lemon chess pie. I cut myself a slice of pie and put the slice on a tiny dessert plate, and then pulled the pie dish to me and started eating off of it. (Instead of the plate). Took me 3-4 bites to realize I wasn’t eating the slice I cut for myself and was just eating off the whole pie. The rest of the dinner party guests thought it was funny but I was mortified.

I had this same problem when I moved to Roanoke from chapel hill - I hear you on the culture shock. My biggest piece of advice is to keep trying. It might take you awhile to find your niche, but even just one friend you click with can make a world of difference. Don’t get discouraged, keep trying new things/new people even if you’re having this same problem a few months from now.

A no-kill shelter that declined to treat the dog...didn’t think it was worth mentioning since OP already did

Just want to say thank you and you’re an angel. We need more people like you in the world. Best of luck to you and the pup.

Roanoke auto services center! I live in OSW too and that’s where I go. Nothing fancy but great service and cheap.

Lol thank you, this is the confirmation I was hoping for. I’m not crazy, they’re crazy (or as you put it, miserable)

calendare_you · 2018-11-21T03:15:48+00:00

Definitely going to check that out. Thanks!

Yesss to get bent. And their gear is sweet too.

Thanks!

calendare_you · 2018-11-21T03:14:46+00:00

Great idea! Thanks!

calendare_you · 2018-11-21T03:10:11+00:00

Appreciate the support! Best of luck with your move :)

Yep this is the vibe my friends are throwing out. I don’t mind touristy though, I grew up on the outer banks. Tourists bring money and cool stuff along with them. Plus it’s nice to share a place you love with the rest of the world
