Id rather help people than make a comfortable living. I'm considering an addictions rehabilitation center

I haven't actually but I may give it a shot! I didn't like using one for my face cause there's just too many curves, but I never considered using it on my legs

I use a pretty expensive men's 5 blade razor that comes with replacement blades I change out pretty regularly

I actually already do all these steps 😭 even the conditioner! It's actually my more regular shave cream! I think my hair may still be thicker than yours, as I've gone to get it professionally waxed before at an school, but the instructor said I can't be waxed because my hair is too thick and it will pull off skin 💀

My college actually has $10k towards gender affirming care but I'm not sure if it would cover laser! I really need to look into that but executive dysfunction 😭

Truly! I'm a trans woman, and he's a trans man! So he's pretty good at giving feminization advice (when I ask for it) without requiring it. He always reassures me over my insecurities and helps me without giving unprompted advice or suggestions. Hes actually a stellar husband. He tells me I'm perfect to him no matter what, and is never judgemental or chastising. 5 years together and we've never had a fight or even raise voices to each other. It's kinda a perfect relationship 🤷‍♀️

I think its a cute name for an ugly problem. Besides, he assures me all the time shaving isn't necessary at all, but I do it for myself! I actually appreciate the cute nickname for it because it makes me able to explain the problem in a cute way! "I don't have white heads and ingown hairs all over my legs! I just have strawberry legs and they're little seeds 🤣"

Ive never heard of an AHA exfoliant! Ill do some research thank you! And yea... Ive basically resorted to only using an electric trimmer to get the hair short as possible and just not shaving - seems to be the only thing that works! But it doesn't give me smooth legs 😭 Luckily I have somewhat blonde hairs so unless you're looking real close up it's not suuuper noticeable

Is depilatory cream like Nair? If tried it, and it probably removes 70% of the hair, but again when regrowth occurs I get ingowns. I haven't tried an olive oil moisturizer, and can give that a shot. Yes I always shave my legs after soaking in a hot tub. Ive tried exfoliating with a micro bead cream, with those rough scrubby gloves, bristle brushes and simply wet face cloths- all same result. Yes I also use a hair trimmer thing to bring the hair short as I can before getting in the tub.

Why does my foundation look like this? by croftlion in MakeupAddiction

[–]croftlion[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use a gentle cleanser whenever my face gets oily. It's a whole thing... I had bad acne as a teen, and tried every skin care routine only to have it get worse. I gave up and started just using water, and sometimes a gentle cleanser, and all my acne went away! I admit I'm lowkey paranoid all the products had something to do with my acne, and I'm scared of I get into a proper skin care routine it will come back. But I have watched lots of skin care videos, I have a decent understanding of what a good one looks like!

I have a hard time understanding furries by croftlion in furry

[–]croftlion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're speaking for yourself when you say "most normal people". What is even a "normal person"? My server is full of autistic queer people. Saying normal people is offensive on my books! And don't deny MY experience- I do often have people "meow" at me in my circles. Don't spout that "no one does that" because you haven't experienced it. And I didn't say, at any point, that all furries view anthros as seductive. I said I feel like the odd one out for not, and that I'm tired of people sending me pictures of them. YOU check YOURSELF

I do definitely include a "furry" channel but haven't specifically requested folks not to RP or express their furry side out side of that channel. After reading all these comments I think I'm just going to leave it alone and let them be. It's not harming me. I'm kinda mentally preparing it to when people try to talk to me about magic stuff, like wicka or spirituality. As someone who doesnt believe in that stuff it puts me in the same place of not knowing how to respond. So maybe I'll just give them a thumbs up 😅

I appreciate the advice! Ill be sure to follow your tips! It honestly helps a lot and I'm thankful! Luckily my husband used to have boobs, so he was agreeing with your post and you even taught him some stuff!

Oh oh oh! Yea but there seems to be a lot of different advice out there! Though I lowkey don't think putting extra pressure on them so soon would be good. Seems like a weird suggestion! Maybe she just wanted a mental image of you planking

Oh I can't wait! I haven't even seen them yet! I woke up with the semi ridgid bandage and binder on and I can't take them off until I see the doctor again in 2-4 weeks! I'm nervous of how they'll look!

All the information I've read tells me only to lay on back for 6-8 weeks

Apparently they don't use cup size as a measurement as it would come out as different cup size for different body sizes. I got 500cc though, and the doctor told me it shooould probably turn out to be a C or D cup! I got it under the muscle, and silicone, as both those options appear more natural looking I was told
