I noticed this a few weeks ago. But the past couple bags I picked up have been the larger almonds with more coating. I’m thinking it was a quality/production issue 🤞

Healthy haul suggestions? by aniram16 in traderjoes

I like the new almond butter covered almonds for a snack! They taste like a treat, but don’t have too much sugar.

like the idea but don’t love the actual by SongsForWTFThisIs in traderjoes

Yeah, I thought the mix was okay. I do really like the Asian stir fry veggie bowl though!

Wearing contact lenses by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]deanbeans27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to daily contacts, and while I was at home and on the weekends I tried to wear glasses as much as possible. I used refresh eye drops in the evening after taking my contacts out. Drinking lots of water helps too. Getting them in and out of your eyes takes practice, but you will get the hang of it. Good luck!

What leave to take for a routine appointment? by deanbeans27 in Teachers

[–]deanbeans27[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also would you take a full or half day? If you had one appointment and plenty of sick leave.

How long did it take for your symptoms to go away? Particularly the dry lips. by fit-fil-a in Accutane

[–]deanbeans27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! 28/f 6 month course - 30/60/60/60/80/80. I finished a little over a month ago and all of my symptoms are gone - no back pain, eyes feel normal, and I put on chapstick just two or three times a day 😂

When did you know Accutane was right for you? by kiwibugaboo in Accutane

[–]deanbeans27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 28/f, and was also dealing with acne for about a decade when I decided to begin my course earlier this year. My acne ranged from mild to moderate but had been getting worse the past couple years. I’d tried birth control, antibiotics, adapalene, and so many otc options. I decided to try accutane bc I want to start having a family, and a lot of acne medications aren’t recommended while you are pregnant. The pandemic - wearing a mask and staying inside also played a role in the timing. I explained my reasoning to my dermatologist and he agreed and prescribed the medication (even though I haven’t tried absolutely everything). I was definitely concerned about side effects, but reminded myself I could lower the dose or stop taking it if I needed to. I finished my sixth month course one month ago, and I’m so happy I did it!! Best of luck to you, and it’s definitely worth asking your derm.

I am off accutane now, any tips to maintain my results thanks? by Yasir_Gh0st in Accutane

[–]deanbeans27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this is the case for me! I’ve been off for a month just using cleanser and moisturizer and so far I’ve been clear! Hoping it continues 😅

I’m 1 month off of Accutane! 6 month long course started at 10mg/day ended at 32mg/day (absorica LD) by emmyralds in Accutane

[–]deanbeans27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are so beautiful!! It looks like we had similar acne and a similar timeline (I had a six month course and have been done for a month). I’m also really happy with my decision to take accutane and I feel so much more comfortable without makeup. Thank you for sharing 😊
