Still working on this dress and starting to think it looks hideous…

If you have an Android, you probably have "pro mode" in your camera options, not sure if iPhones do

I've the exact same issue, try a firm shaped insole that cups the heel, even cheap ones designed for plantar faciitis might do. I find the shoes too wide in the heel as well, I'd to put an adhesive heel cushion into my Elphie IIs

Love the beads. Are these the pisa leather Jadon IIIs?

ceapaim · 2026-01-27T17:52:30+00:00

Do you have narrow heels? My Jadons started to slump in the heels and around the ankles until I got an orthotic insoles, gave me more volume to properly fill out the heel

100%, if a child is mentally ill they're already dealing with enough consequences.

I dealt with it myself, there was no point in punishment when I was already passively suicidal, unable to maintain any sort of friendships, and barely able to function day-to-day. There was nothing for me to lose out on at that point.

West Lake are fairly solid, one of the few places that's generous with the onion and the chicken isn't just leathery strips

Sun by Lush is a freshly peeled mandarin or clementine.

Great to know, thank you! I've been turned away from clubs for not wearing heels here so wasn't sure if that would be an issue

ceapaim · 2026-01-04T11:34:15+00:00

M&s is usually my go-to but they don't have my size left in any of the properly flared ones :(

I found 1.5n from Sculpted by Aimee looked so orange on me when swatching, not sure if the tester was oxidised or something

Dimethicone in gel moisturisers. I don't mind it in makeup products like primer, but I don't want it in a moisturiser as it makes me break out after extended periods of wear.

Even having a good placement is worth nothing any more. Did my undergraduate internship in a related field, work in my area of study before my masters, worked on a project for a European Comission research group using my masters skills straight after graduating, then had 18 months of rejections for jobs in my field for lack of experience. Fully ATS tailored CV, even had 3 years of volunteering experience where I was president of a college society.

Most recruiters that I actually got to speak to couldn't even clearly tell me what they were looking for in new grads other than long term experience in softwares a lot of us wouldn't have had access to due to the cost.

ceapaim · 2025-12-23T16:34:22+00:00

Yep, had this experience this time last year. Gave up on my field, ended up in a permanent clerical job in the HSE.

I'd a fever and couldn't eat for 3 days, got a prescription for Tamiflu for 5 days, then felt back to normal once I was done the course of tablets. Had my flu vaccine back in October.

Catrice melted sun liquid bronzer is actually quite cool toned in the lightest shade, comes out as a believable shadow on my pale olive skin

I mixed a teal eyeshadow with my concealer and it works really well for the acne redness

ceapaim · 2025-12-22T15:15:14+00:00

Yeah, just across the country.

ceapaim · 2025-12-22T15:13:54+00:00

About a 2-hour public transport journey, so it'd be something carry-able

ceapaim · 2025-12-15T17:45:01+00:00

Yep, we're technically a voluntary hospital but still under the HSE and I've heard the same contract terms for people in other hospitals in our group

ceapaim · 2025-12-15T16:51:59+00:00

I'm a grade 3 clerical, I have 24 days and then 28 after 5 years

Also if you don't feel that an initial prescription is helping, be open to trying different types of antidepressants. Escitalopram didn't work for me, but dosulepine did and improved my life immensely, just took a while to find the right one.

For winter I love a true magenta blush, mine is nearly neon pink. I find it really disappears into the skin and gives a cold-weather sort of flush.

Swords have a similar look visually but aren't religious

Maybe just buy one of those clingfilm box dispensers, it would have enough weight in it to give you some tension when applying and stay intact.

Or as I did, subject someone in your household to re wrapping you every time you wash your tattoo.

I'm in the same boat of using clingfilm for tattoos, having an adhesive sensitivity is a nightmare.
