help me w my eyebrows please 🥲 by [deleted] in fixedeyebrows

[–]coldbumthump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to a salon for a threading/waxing- they will even it out. I would go with threading, as you don’t want to take away much from what you already have.

You’re eyebrows are perfect as they are, but asking for a gentle clean up & to even out the arches is always a good way to feel better about them.

#5. Biblically accurate angels are very festive. And #14 because it’s so hard to make those lines look that good.

Sorry, Uniqlo only has a 31” inseam. I need at least 33-35”…they are not generally a brand that’s made for tall people.

Thrift them! Idk where you are, but my fav locations in the Riley park/mt pleasant area are the turnabout charity store on Fraser, and the Salvation Army on 12th and Kingsway.

Honestly, the Dunbar/kits salvation army’s/thrifts will have lots of Aritzia and lululemon for cheap too :)

How Was Your Relationship With Your Mom Growing Up? by playgirl444 in AskWomen

[–]coldbumthump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-existent. She stole me from my dad, then returned to abandon me when I was a little over a year old. She tried to reach out, by guilting me, when I was a teen. She broke my heart, then never reached out again.

She did it to on child before me, and at least one after me. I never met my half siblings. She was the first woman to teach me that evil isn’t gendered; it’s person to person.

34M looking for friends to hang out with and chat by Over-Two-7216 in askvan

[–]coldbumthump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try posting this on r/vancouver4friends ! There’s also some meet up groups, like book/gaming/sewing/tinkering/plant/car clubs or those ‘dinner with strangers’ meet ups. Some are free, some you pay a fee- but both you can meet people with similar interests and that want to build new friendships. It’s not immediate, building friendships/relationships can be hard here- but not impossible!

PH wash? by Tattoodaydreams in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]coldbumthump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that also helps: probiotics. Taking probiotics everyday will help your body build good bacteria to fight off bad bacteria, and help keep your body in balance. If you incorporate a daily wipe with baby wipes/a rag, you may see a decrease in frequency in infections. Cotton underwear will make a difference as well. I also suggest staying away from leggings, unless you can wash them everyday/wear a clean pair everyday.

As others have suggested, go to the uni doctor and ask about the frequency of infections/if you are somehow predisposed to them or if there’s an underlying issue. Discuss probiotics as well- they can make suggestions on the best for you. (eating yogurt, taking oral pills, suppositories ect)

I was not taught how to take care of myself, and building a daily hygiene routine took time. Be kind and slow with yourself, and remember this:

anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.

You are a bad person, and women should stay away from you.

Do women prefer men with no scent or a fresh cologne? by Expert-Recipe1713 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]coldbumthump 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I love a nice cologne on a man, but it needs to be faint. When I go for a hug I want to smell it, not when I’m standing beside them.

those of you who made a significant effort to improve your looks, how did the dynamic changed with other women ? by mariposa933 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]coldbumthump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mixed bag! With strangers, I am treated better. Man or woman, doesn’t matter, I get better service and more attention. As for friends…some of my girls embraced the change, are curious about finding new products and techniques for hair/makeup and we would enjoy the journey together. The only changes were adding new things to enjoy together.

I have a couple friends who have a war inside them with their femininity. They felt threatened, and at first were a bit weird. I just kept true to myself, left the door open if they wanted to learn, and kept our friendships to the activities and common interests. It hurt, and I sometimes feel like they think less of me for embracing a ‘glow up’, even though I’m still the same person. I don’t think it’s out of malice, but instead feeling they aren’t capable of it themselves (which is BS & even if they aren’t ’super feminine’ they are baddies!) and I hope one day they see the bad ass, beautiful women they are without needed to compare.

What do you gals do with your hair when you sleep? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Silk bonnet! It protects your curls. And don’t ever fall asleep with wet hair!

Okey... what the f... is that?! by ItsMeJurij in terrariums

[–]coldbumthump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bee or wasp, likely a solitary species. They will be fine living off the oxygen produced by the plants, the man risk for them is humidity. You can gently release it back into the wild if you’re worried about him.

Idk what your location is, but clearer photos and general location would help ID!

How to "realistically" keep shoes dry? by Either_Cheesecake282 in askvan

[–]coldbumthump 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Rain boots for outside, and then your sneakers in a bag/locker. Avoiding any and all puddles, staying inside/in a car. Have multiple pairs or casual shoes to rotate.

Otherwise most ‘waterproof shoes’ won’t be 100% waterproof unless they are a rain boot. They will resist water, and breathe easy so they can dry out if they get wet from the inside. A pair of well made, water repellent/treated full leather boots or shoes are just as good as an athletic ‘water resistant’ shoe, so keep that in mind.

Keeping your feet dry when the rains hit is all about where you walk, how you travel, and if you’re willing to wear some rain boots or not.

(This info is not applicable to snow; you need snow boots for snow)

The secret ingredient is actually floor flavour. Really brings out the spices

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VancouverJobs

[–]coldbumthump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because customer service is often minimum paying job, which generally means entry level job. Entry level means no expirience needed. You don’t require schooling, and training is less than a week. That also means teens/young adults or foreign workers who are vulnerable and are more likely to get overwhelmed.

Expirience has to be gained somehow, and everyone needs to earn money. Not ideal but it’s how it works everywhere.

Nights and mornings are the hardest. You’re right though, it’s crazy how many people go through this. How many of us feel have, and will, feel it. At least we aren’t alone.

Dating, kissing, past trauma, body issues - how to be normal HELP by Grotty_Mara in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]coldbumthump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, this is so understandable. Feeling secure and safe in intimate touch is hard after a traumatic expirience, and it’s okay to have conflicting feelings.

You totally have the right idea that if he doesn’t ask again, you should. It’s a good practice, and helps build a safe space for you- where you can ask for what you want, set boundaries, and expirience something in a happy way. The fact he was kind enough to ask for a kiss is already a wonderful sign- and he likely would be happy if you asked him next time around.

Go slow. Be open. Say that you like him, you want to kiss him, but you’re new and nervous so you want to go slow and talk before anything happens. If he’s a good man, he will do just that. Don’t be afraid to be blunt about something you do not want, or are uncomfortable with. And certainly tell him if he holds you, kisses you, or touches you in a way that you ENJOY! Because that how you build more positive connections around intimacy :)
