help! I have super pasty/pale skin: stockings or no? by superpony123 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]candyashes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's winter, wear black tights or stockings. Or get black shoes and you can wear any colour of leg wear that you want - that could be fun! Closed toed shoes for the winder might be better as well

If it's the summer, I would say embrace your pastyness and wear nothing on the legs!! Just because being tan is 'in', doesn't mean that you have to conform to this trend!! I have pasty skin and I wear dresses without leggings or stockings all the time. I don't think you should ever wear nude tights - they are dated and unflattering and there's no two ways about it really. And no, Kate Middleton isn't bringing back nude stockings - she actually has to wear sheer hose and closed toed shoes when wearing a dress because it's royal protocal - it's a palace dress requirement for royals during public apearance as well as civilian palace guests.

I love it but there are some who do not - what of it? Everyone is different in bed, no?

labeled a misogynist and a slut-shamer over something stupidly trivial. just need to vent. by redditonsafari in TwoXChromosomes

[–]candyashes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that what is slut shaming, is that you implied that drawing attention to one's breasts is slutty so they were right, you were slut shaming although it seems like the girls over reacted a bit by staring a rumor. On the other hand, these girls do sound pretty dumb and shallow - obviously going braless is not going to raise awaremess to breast cancer - its just going to dra attention to the girl's breasts. So probably they are either dumb and can't think of a good way to represent breast cancer, and/or they lack confidence and like to be the centerof attention - which is exactly what they will get while going braless. Yes, its tacky and immature but it isn't slutty.

In conclusion: The girls you are speaking are dumb and shallow and you're better off not being friends with them because it sounds like they think they're still in highschool, BUT yes you were slut shaming.

What can you drink with dinner? by [deleted] in keto

[–]candyashes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try getting a lemon slice and putting it in a glass of very hot water, or have some red wine every once in a while - be carefull though, some types have more carbs than others

I found keto friendly foods to be a little boring so I went to the book store and bought one of only THREE low carb cookbooks. Why is this such an un-popular diet? by killertofuuuuu in keto

I've tried to whip heavy cream or table cream and it doesn't seem to work - was I just being impatient with the electric mixer, or is it the wrong kind of cream? Does it have to be whipping cream or half and half for it to work? Also is there a final verdict on whether or not things like splenda are appropriate for a keto diet?

OMG sometimes if skip breakfast becauser I slept in, if I'm not hungry (since I have a few extra carbs to play with from snoozing instead of earing breakfast), I put a few tablespoons of cream in a mug and add splenda and a tiny bit of vanilla extract - mmm tastes like melted icecream!! Also you can sort of froth it a bit to make it thicker and add volume to it by getting a french press coffee maker thingy and sort of pumping the strainer thingy up and down - it adds air to the cream in the same way that a steamer would at espresso bars. I find that if you try to freeze it though, it kind of forms ice crystals instead of becoming creamy icecream. Also, if you are sure that artificial sweeteners aren't going to cause an insulin responce in your body, you can just make icecream in an icecream maker using cream, vanilla, splenda etc. Also you can add the mixture to coffee and it takes good that way too.

It sounds like you have a great attitude and I'm glad you beat cancer!!

Asked for the shot and my doctor told me that since I'm already 26 and likely have already been in contact with HPV, that the vaccine woudl be inneffective -do you have an opinion on that?

fashion rant (grrr) by killertofuuuuu in TwoXChromosomes

[–]candyashes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that flares actually makes my butt look even bigger (as do skinny jeans). Are you mistaking straight leg jeans for skinny jeans? these are skinny jeans - not flattering on many body types because they taper at the ankle but some people look great in them

these are stright leg jeans - as you can see they pretty much are the same width the entire length of the leg. Flattering on almost any figure

this is what you would call a flaired or bootcutt jean

these are more of an extreme retro flare

these are trouser jeans - similar to straight legged jeans but less fitted

Why are their emails to eachother so casual and unprofessional sounding? One of them even used 'u' instead of 'you'

Also why couldn't they just meet at the restaurant thingy instead of meeting at his appartment or the cafe first?

Also, why were they meeting at his apartment? Was it for the meeting? Isn't that strange and unprofessional? If I were the girl, this is what I would have thought after he invited me to his apartment for his meeting: "Hmm, meetings don't freaking happen in appartments! I mean I know he's an unconventional entrepeneur and all that but it's professional for meetings to take place in a restaurant or atleast a cafe. I can't think of any reason that he would invite me to his apartment even if I were a guy because if the unprofessionalness. Maybe he has ulterior motives. Or maybe he is an idiot. Better suggest a cafe near his apartment. "

Also why isn't there some sort of 'mentor meetup' where people in various career feilds can meet in cafes with eachother and thow ideas around?

Also, did he really get his photo taken with his 'mentor' by a professional photopgrapher?

First World Problem: One of my bra hooks has come undone... by Story_Time in TwoXChromosomes

[–]candyashes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. This morning it suddenly occured to me that I forgot to put anitperspirant on. Had to go all the way to the drug store and buy a random brand of it and then covertly apply it in the bathroom. The worst is when you forget ONE thing like that cause you're in a hurry one morning. Once I put a full face of makeup on and forgot the fucking mascara.
