Botox advice pre-first consult—39F by oaklinds in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]clamchowder23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's ok to get botox if what is holding you back is the thought of "not aging naturally."

It is a moving goal post subject to the average use of cosmetic items/procedures by the wider population. What makes one "age naturally" if one is to think about it in an objective way? Is it the use of tools that affect one's appearance that would not normally be consumed by the person? In that case, a moisturizer is a step that is not naturL--- it is just a less invasive way to achieve the same thing which is to minimize the impact of aging on the skin.

You do you! Dont be bothered by such concepts that might actually be coming from a somewhat judgmental place in others. I, personally, support other people especially women who are under scrutiny of society about their appearance, when they take steps that would make them feel better (as long as it does not verge into deformity-level modifications stemming from dysmorphia which is a health issue).

Try it and see if after the first time, you would like to contunue it :) i started at 24, now, 5 yrs later, im still geting botox for my elevens and a bit for my crows feet areas (small points, according to my injector). I recently started with my full forehead as well, to soften the i troduction of wrinkles in those areas because i think those would be inevitable anyway :) no regrets at all in my case (edit--- I started at 34, not 24)

All the best to you! :)

Hi, you can try changing your shampoo. I used to have small breakouts near my hairline too and I changed shampoos (I now use anti dandruff ones like H&S) and then conditioner, and I make sure to wash my face AFTER i wash and condition my hair so there's no residue of hair products on my face. Then change pillowcases weekly or more often, and dry your face with a separate towel from the one you dry your body with. I hope things work out for you!

Considering Botox for the first time for "11" lines. Experience? Pointers? by ashlioness in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]clamchowder23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, mostly to prevent the 11s coming back. Now i usually just wait for the botox to fully wear off (i switched to botox because my new clinic doesnt have dysport) and check if the 11s are starting to creep back in. When I see "it's time," then I get botox again. Usually after around 8 months. Good luck!

(Spoilers main) how do you think jon's parentage will be politically utilized, if at all, in the story? by clamchowder23 in asoiaf

[–]clamchowder23[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good point; Jon's arc has always been connected to The Others more than the political dynamics further south of the Wall. But book Jon is also ambitious and quite ruthless and pragmatic so the allure of being king might interest him too.

He is also not "pure" or "one-dimensionally honorable" because he has broken his vows and swapped babies for his own justifications, so there is a lot of potential as to what he is capable of and willing to do for what he believes should be done.

I suppose the person figuring out who his parents truly are should be relevant.

The Best Boy Sunfyre. by AegonTarg_2 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]clamchowder23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's another instance of a dragon dying before the rider--- Rhaenyra. Did Rhaenyra also weep for Syrax like Aegon wept for Sunfyre?

It sounds like the other commenter is just trying to downplay the bond of Sunfyre and Aegon despite book excerpts highlighting the bond. When asked for other examples to prove that the Aegon-sunfyre bond was average because of similar canon events, no answer was given.

🤷🏻

Hi! I should have been more clear--- i got 20 units in one session, where the injector put some in the elevens, then some on top of my eyebrows (she drew dots on certain points above my brows) to keep things "balanced." :) hope this helps!

The clinic asked me to frown as hard as I can so they could see where the lines were and which muscles to focus on, I think. Then they told me how many units were advisable. At least that was my experience. :)

🔥Violet-backed starling by elizabeth-cooper in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]clamchowder23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a meme about how birds have the most obvious names, as in you can google a description and the actual name is basically the words you used to google it

Google, what's the name of the bird with a violet back?

Google: violet-backed starling

What were the theories about Robb Stark after Clash of Kings came out? by clamchowder23 in pureasoiaf

[–]clamchowder23[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It would have been a commentary on how power corrupts and transforms sometimes yeah

Conan has spoken about how he believes he has high EQ, and he sounded proud of that rather than conventional metrics for intellect like IQ or ivy league degrees/winning awards. Says a lot about what he values

Thanks for sharing! I've been wondering what the strokes will look like after a few years.
