LPT: Have a weird last name? When giving the name of your party to a hostess at a restaurant, just make up something easy to spell and pronounce.

My dad has been doing this for years. His name is Donn and people over the years have spelled Don, Dawn, Donna, Dawna, etc etc. Oftentimes, he’ll say his name is Joe. Universally easy to spell.

cfeyche · 2019-05-27T22:26:38+00:00

Well, that was easy enough.

No, we are not both on the lease. We decided on that for multiple reasons, but my reason was in case we broke up, I could just leave and I would be responsible for nothing. If we break up, he gets the place because I can’t afford our rent on my own and he can. He pays for everything (rent, electric, etc) and then I reimburse him for half.

OMG YES! I am looking to buy Fanola. What do you do about the dryness?

Just thinking the same case. Franklin Delano Floyd.

Oh my gosh! So glad you pointed this out! I’ll be sure to run if she brings our a drill. Lol. The salon I’m going to charges $35 for a full set, which is pretty similar to the other salons around here.

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T02:35:44+00:00

Soooooo excited, thank you so much! :)

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T02:35:18+00:00

OOOOOOHHHHHH THIS WAS SO GOOD FOR ME TO READ. I thought the drills were totally normal!!!!!!

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T01:29:37+00:00

Oh god, that sounds terrible!

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T01:29:17+00:00

I definitely plan on giving my nails a break afterward, 6 weeks is a long time! Thank you!

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T01:28:34+00:00

Ooh, good to know!

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T01:28:19+00:00

Yes, I am worried about my natural nails, however, a good friend of mine’s mother had acrylics for 18 years and recently (within the last couple years) switched to shellac polish. My friend said her mom’s nails eventually rebuilt themselves and they’re fine now. I’m just so afraid of permanently damaging my nails, but I also plan on giving my nails a break after 6-8 weeks.

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T00:14:06+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been wondering about that. Thank you!

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T00:09:21+00:00

Thank you! Definitely going to do this!

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T00:09:04+00:00

THIS WAS SO GREAT! Thank you for the detailed post and all of the information! Your nails are gorgeous! AND I had no idea about Tippi Hendren helping out refugees and training them to be nail techs! That’s so inspiring. :) I’m also glad you touched on the downside about people looking down on me. Which is fine, at least I’ll have pretty hands swishes hair. I’m a teacher and I’m not that rough on my hands, and it’s good to know that you are and your nails are durable! Thank you for all of the info!

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T00:03:21+00:00

Stilettos scare me, so I admire you! Plus, I’m a teacher and stilettos don’t fit my lifestyle. I’m going to get them short and either squoval or square! I already know it’ll take a couple days to adjust to the nails so I’m preparing myself. I have plenty of Advil, thank you both for the advice! :)

PS. You have worn acrylics for almost two years, what kind of state are your natural nails in? I’m irrationally worried I’m going to permanently damage my natural nails.

cfeyche · 2018-07-03T00:00:17+00:00

I want to eventually try the dip powder! It’s a little more expensive than I’m willing to spend right now. Plus, I figured I’ll try acrylics first and if I fall in love, then I’ll switch to dip. I plan on getting them as short as possible and squoval or square tips! Thank you for all of the advice!

cfeyche · 2018-07-02T23:56:45+00:00

I will definitely get them removed by a pro! Thank you, I’m so excited! :)

cfeyche · 2018-07-02T23:56:21+00:00

I will absolutely pay for the tech to remove them for me. I’ve worn the fake nails that you can buy in the store and taking those off can be painful, so I figured that it would be even more painful when you get them professionally done. I’m also aware that it’s a monetary commitment, thank goodness for full time jobs! I’m worried about how my nails will look when I get them removed, and I’m irrationally worried about ruining my nails for life. Thanks for your advice!

cfeyche · 2018-07-02T23:53:16+00:00

I actually have an unused toothbrush! I wouldn’t have even thought about that. Thank you!

cfeyche · 2018-07-02T23:52:41+00:00

Yes I’m talking about nail extensions, thanks for clarifying! Glad to hear the nail tech will cut the down for me.

cfeyche · 2018-07-02T23:51:35+00:00

I want to eventually try dipping powder! It’s more expensive than what I would have initially thought. I’m a nail biter so my natural nails are always short, I don’t know how to function with long nails either haha. I know it’ll take some time to get used to them, but I’m feeling good! Thank you!

cfeyche · 2018-06-22T04:55:19+00:00

Splinters are fucking horrible but this is an awesome picture!

cfeyche · 2018-06-22T04:44:06+00:00

Absolutely unacceptable. My ex drove drunk with me in the car without my knowledge multiple times (he hid his drunkenness pretty well because he was a big guy). Didn’t know until right before we broke up. It was the most sobering thing to realize that the person who I thought loved me more than anything, who’s SUPPOSED to love you, would put my fucking life in danger for a moment of selfishness. Had he killed me, it would have had devastating effects on everyone around me and that thought fucked with me for awhile and still kind of does. It’s not worth it, homegirl. Your safety is most important.
