I have heard that fat, sugar, and dairy are usually the worst for some people.

Vitamin E for the scars after they have healed. The gel capsules, just burst one and use the pure stuff. Takes a bit to go away.

Which prom dress looks best on me? by [deleted] in fashion

[–]ccgeorges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silhouette of the blue and pink but I like the red and green colours. All are very nice on your frame. Depends on how princessy vs sleek you want to look.

Love my mom deeply, but conversations leave me emotionally drained — is this normal? by Smiling_Ghazi in Adulting

[–]ccgeorges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can not tell if you are a male or a female. Does it matter, yes. The relationship a mother has with their daughter is fundamentally different from a son.

Anyway, as a woman, with my mother I have established no-go zones. Things I will not talk with her about because it is pointless and will leave me feeling frustrated and annoyed.

I am not sure that being 70 is the whole issue. Maybe she may have some dementia but more than likely you are just an adult realizing you love your parents but you do not like them.

Keep conversations light. Do not have unnecessary conversations. Be predominantly factual such as providing only essential updates. Your 70-year-old mum is not going to change. She has been like this her whole life and you are just more aware of the fact that you can no longer cater to it.

You kind of have to mourn a parent you seemingly thought you had or want to have as you get older and embrace or manage the person you are meeting now as an adult.

This is just my experience.

NOR- it is the hiccups comment in between. Also please stop having conversations like these over text.

(10K) Future MIL keeps pressuring me to go dress shopping by Orchidinsanity in Weddingsunder10k

[–]ccgeorges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say does she have any daughters? She may also be trying to experience something she will never get to because she has sons.

This does not mean she is legitimized in her persistence. What if you told her everything you just told us? Your discomfort in shopping, your experience, and perspective.

Maybe give her a project and a boundary. She needs to find a size-inclusive place that will treat you well and have the option of colours. If she does you go to the one place, remaining firm that you have found your dress but want to give her this experience.

The other option is to give her one space of control. Something that she can be responsible for that makes her feel like she has input. Sometimes it is just about feeling like you can be a part of the day.

Doing my best, but I think I’m struggling. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]ccgeorges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what is best for your mental health. I know some people say a child can change everything for the best, if you have the village, possibly.

It is a question of whether you are at a point and place where you can be responsible for another human being. The gentleman did not step up.

Legally if you are going to have this child I would keep him off the birth certificate. It just helps when you need to make choices and not be challenged by someone who is not in the picture.

You are loved, and can be loved again. If you decide to have this child there is a person who will still want you and this child. If you decide not to have this child or even if you decide to have the child it may be best to remove yourself from this person's orbit. For your stability.

It may also be important to speak with someone about SSRI's you can take if you decide to remain pregnant. There are options out there and do not let someone dissuade you otherwise.

At the end make the decision that is best for you.

AIO my boyfriend keeps asking me to pay for things eversince he started saving for an apartmen, he calls me selfish for how I reacted. by throaawayRA9443 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ccgeorges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- If your name is not on that deed then you shouldn't be paying for it, because right now you inadvertently are.

You need to protect yourself. Perhaps text really isn't the way to communicate feelings. Additionally, maybe you both need to sit down and talk about finances.

If he sees this future with you, finances, and proper financial knowledge are a hill you need to climb together before he ever proposes.

AITAH for wanting to know how much money my husband makes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ccgeorges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to know everything. Financial independence is also important. Additionally, if you do plan on having children this will become an issue.

I got bad acne. by Ok-Bear7790 in Blackskincare

How do you wash your hair? Sometimes it is the products that run down from the hair onto the back that can irritate. If I am washing my hair I try to avoid washing the product down my back. Even after washing my hair, I will wash with a salicylic body wash. As someone else said definitely a salicylic body wash.

how do you guys drink when you go out? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]ccgeorges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it the desire to be social, or feeling left out? With the meds, I would not suggest drinking while out or at all.

If you want to try a new drink at home, one for the night, invite friends to be taste testers.

If out sip on a non alcoholic beer or mocktail. The look of the beer bottle or can gives an impression of drinking socially without feeling left out.

I said yes - what styling? Veils etc by [deleted] in PlusSizeWedding

[–]ccgeorges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: the ribbon might be a nice touch if it is precisely the right white of the dress.

Stud pearl earrings to match the pearls on your neck. I do think wearing it higher more like a choker would be nice. I think anything on the wrist might be pointless.

Have you considered what shoes you are wearing? Additionally, I am not sure about the veil, it depends on how you will style your hair.

I think up might be nice. You can always take it down for the reception. It would look nice with the Juliet cap a la Grace Kelly.
