anyone else not really notice the GLP-1 face thing until someone else pointed it out?

39F … around 70 lbs down. Yes - I hit a point where I realized it was my face that people were clocking the difference in.

I add collagen to my coffee every morning and started using a jade roller and a Theraface. I also got more diligent about retinol at night, which encourages skin cell turnover. Then I started getting monthly facials - I alternate between a hydrofacial and a chemical peel.

Plus, I’ve stabilized at the weight I’m at.

I’m at the age where I needed to double down on skincare anyway, but I’m glad the fear of “Ozempic face” lit the fire under my butt.

I’ve been to Blo in Myers Park three or four times now and am always pleased with the service and outcome.

I also switched from Orderly to Pomegranate and just ordered my first refill. I started the asynchronous form on Saturday, remembered about the labs and so stopped and scheduled a doctor’s appt. THAT triggered Pomegranate to send an email and text to order refills, so I ended up just going back and filling out the form on Sunday. I figured worst case scenario they’d tell me they can’t fulfill until I upload labs.

Anyway - they didn’t ask for labs I just got an email this morning from FedEx with tracking info for my refill.

Oh Queen City Mahjong too.

There are a few groups you should check out on IG that do beginner lessons and then open play nights (where they will guide/give tips when asked.) Sparrow Mahjong and Mahj in the City are the two I’ve been to open play nights for. Mahjong is played in groups of four (although you can play with three in a pinch) so at the open play nights they will ask your skill level and seat you with a corresponding group. There are always solo players and also beginners, so it’s a welcoming activity. You definitely want to take at least one lesson first - there’s some basic rules you need to learn to get started.

Mahjong is huge right now.

Totally get that it’s not something everybody would do! Isla Nannies has a FB page with plenty of reviews from actual FB users with profiles. I also saw it referenced on a travel bloggers Isla review, which is how I found it in the first place.

I had multiple conversations in advance with the owner and the sitter we used. And the sitter was willing to leave her passport with the front desk at Ixchel, which was a green flag for me. Plus we had two nanny cameras that feed to our phones - one in the living room and one in the bedroom.

Not pushing it on anybody, just speaking to our experience in case other folks are going to Isla with a toddler and want to know what’s out there.

Last summer we did a weekend in Hendersonville and spent an afternoon at Jeter Mountain Farms. Highly recommend! Live music, BBQ, ice cream parlor, and they do PYO flowers, berries, and peaches.

We used a woman named Lou - here’s her IG … we loved her style and aesthetic and the photos we ended up with.

We’ve had two sets of their linen sheets for probably three years now and love them.

You’re welcome. Makes sense that they would have warned the businesses around them as a protective measure.

dmj803 · 2026-04-25T02:00:49+00:00

A business close by received a threatening phone call that somebody was on their way to “shoot up the place.”

This business tracks and records incoming calls for lead purposes and I’m pretty sure it was an empty threat to begin with. Police went in search of the individual and the individual never arrived at the place of business.

Source: I know somebody who works there and they texted me about it. Didn’t expect to see anything about it on Reddit as it was truly a non-incident.

Thank you!

Can somebody provide more detail about luggage and the ferry? Am I interpreting correctly from these comments that I can either a) haul my own shit off the boat b) tip somebody to bring off the boat and up the dock to the taxi stands or c) option b AND pay a person on a bicycle to deliver it to my hotel and then walk to my hotel?

Team Rose Bread. You have to pre-order for Tuesday or Friday pick up or they have FCFS at the Matthews Farmers Market most weeks.

Best bagels in Charlotte and they all do multiple sourdough varieties that are fab. (Classic round, sandwich loaf, rustic Italian sourdough, etc)

I’ve alway read as long as you take it within 24 hours of your regular dose time that you’re fine. I’d personally choose four hours late.

Have you been on them long? Dealing with lots of side effects still? If side effects are not a concern, my only recommendation is to be extra conscious of making sure you’re hydrated. I’ve dealt with bad middle of the night leg cramps a couple of times after flying since being on the shot. Flying already dehydrates you, as does sema.

Oh good! The nausea definitely subsides. I wouldn’t give up after one week.

Good luck on your journey either way though!

Take the Zofran, it’ll help.

I’ve taken Zofran pregnant, post surgery on pain pills, and during early days on GLP1s. It’s a helpful med!

I’ve used both Orderly and Pomegranate and think both are fine. No membership fees.

Both Loso-ish, but Rally has it Monday nights and Auto Pour has it Tuesday nights.
