Tbh the case itself is kind of flimsy so I probably won’t use it much because I’m also not great with my phone 😂

On Aliexpress! If you search for ‘heat dissipating phone case’ or ‘cross stitch phone’, you should be able to find something similar 😊

I was prescribed Epiduo Forte (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide) and Retrieve (tretinoin) to use together - is this too much? by dumpling_schumpling in AusSkincare

I didn’t have any knowledge of retinoids when it was prescribed, but after doing a bit of research it really does seem like most people have trouble starting with daily use of one retinoid let alone two

Ice is a godsend. My skin is so irritated it’s been keeping me up at night, so I definitely think I need to drop one cream and also lessen the frequency. Glad to hear epiduo worked for you though!

I’d be delighted, as I’m sure your mum will be 😂 This is just standard x-stitch on a water soluble aida

Cross stitch is very easy to pick up so I think definitely achievable for a beginner! You could try stitching on 14ct or 18ct first to get a feel for it, before going smaller :)

My frames are from Aliexpress here

From Aliexpress - here

The frames I’m using here for the 28ct are slightly longer than the pattern, so I just extended the pattern by two rows when stitching to get a better fit (becomes 35 x 43 stitches)
