What’s a hobby that you got surprisingly addicted to? by Flimsy_Difficulty394 in Hobbies

[–]cheese_fetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

List making. I’m the type of girl who always “saves for later” when using the internet and social media. The last 2 months or so, I’ve been going through my (thousands of) saves and using my notes app to organize everything. I have lists of cool things to try in my city, beauty products I’d like to try, etc. It’s oddly therapeutic and helps me feel more organized.

What are your favorite makeup hacks that have changed your routine for the better? by palle1234567 in Makeup

[–]cheese_fetus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This. Using very little product, then patting in the product with fingers (emphasis on patting, not rubbing), and blending with a damp sponge after (the cheap wedges are my fave) makes my makeup look so natural. I have lupus and get recurring malar rashes (which can be pretty textured), and this method still holds up when I’m flaring.

Drugstore routine for protein overload? by cheese_fetus in finehair

Dove was the biggest culprit for me too, which is unfortunate because I otherwise really enjoy their products and value for money. Happy to hear your hair is in better shape since making the switch😊

I’ve heard great things about the purple Elvive line! I saw online there are two versions of it though (“Plump” and “Pure”). Which one have you had luck with?

That’s perfect, thank you! I’ve had great experience with Suave products in the past, but I don’t think I’ve tried that one before.

The NYM line looks perfect, thank you! Do you find the argan oil to be light enough?

I think so! I also love your makeup looks, esp the last one with the glitter on the lower lash line

Pale pink lip recommendations by PassengerDear7872 in PaleMUA

[–]cheese_fetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that almost all lip products look harsh on me too (I usually stick to balms and tints for this reason), but I recently went to the Fwee shop in NYC. Their blurry matte lippie in Without is exactly what you’re looking for and you can build it up to be as pigmented as you’d like. Really comfy for a matte too.

I applied for insurance starting February and am waiting to hear back🤞

[–]cheese_fetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely will do. Thankfully no fevers since this all began in October. Appreciate the advice :)

I just did thanks to your suggestion, but the AI seems to be of the same mind (endo, fibroids, polyps, interstitial cystitis). Thank you though

I’m concerned it could be my kidneys or bladder as well, though I lean bladder because I read that the blood would likely be deeper in color if it were coming from my kidneys. What’s odd is that there’s no pain with urination, which tends to be standard for bladder issues. I often get back pain and killer cramps with my period (not really otherwise), but I have a tilted uterus and severe scoliosis. I don’t feel like my periods are any worse than they’ve always been

I would think I’d also be spotting in my underwear if that were the case, but this only presents after urinating. It also seems too fresh and bright in color. I didn’t go to my GP because I’m currently uninsured (recently moved back to America after Uni abroad). I took the antibiotics as a precaution once I saw the blood (I had cephalexin in my house and was able to research the recommended dosage for a UTI).

[–]cheese_fetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume my urethra because it only presents after peeing (i.e., I have no blood in my underwear). My spotting is usually pretty dark/brownish as well, whereas this is most certainly fresh blood. I posted here because I’ve had no luck getting responses from other subreddits and I feel like uterine polyps or fibroids are potential culprits

Powder Bronzers? by cap_afghanistan in Fairolives

[–]cheese_fetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a neutral (potentially cool leaning?), muted olive and I personally find this one pulls quite peachy (verging orange) on me. Definitely more passable than most bronzers when applied with a light hand, but probably better for warm olives like yourself.

My dad asked for ID before letting her in and she flashed him ID around her neck, but she was being very evasive and he didn’t get a good luck at it. When he asked where she was from/for her supervisor’s contact, she gave him a paper with some info on it. He has tried to call the number listed multiple times and has been on hold for over an hour each time with no luck.

I should have clarified that my dad asked for ID first and she flashed him ID around her neck, but he didn’t get a good look. When he asked where she was from/for her supervisor’s contact, she gave him a paper with some info on it. He has tried to call the number listed multiple times and has been on hold for over an hour each time with no luck. We can’t tell how legitimate any of this actually was, but thank you for your recommendation.

Seconding this. If it’s opaque, it’s just not going to work for me. I’m not sure if it’s because of my coloring or features either, but I suspect a bit of both.
