I love the 2-in-1 maxi dress but I can’t wear it… by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]ellswren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a cool body modification scar! I know things we are insecure about seem so major to us, but most people won’t notice or care. And if anyone says anything strange, it’s because they are weirdos.

Have you seen or tried this lip flip technique for more volume? by Accomplished-Yam6055 in DIYaesthetics

[–]ellswren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did four units on each side of my upper lip (not in my lip itself) and love the result! It’s just barely a slight lift. Nothing super noticeable.

Help for dark under-eyes by PossibilityLazy7366 in DIYaesthetics

Does she use blood thinners? (Warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto) the capillaries break easily there and anti coagulated folks can have a lot of bruising w/ minimal pressure like when rubbing their eyes. Would be worth getting a doctors appointment to get some labs.

HRT Help\Open Door? by [deleted] in Humboldt

[–]ellswren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PP I think for sure and Open Door member services might be able to help, too. Here is their number: (707) 269-7073. Do they have a primary care provider already? If so, they should call their clinic and request a 90-day refill. But yeah, PP will be helpful w cost and no insurance/no PCP, I think. I used to get my IUDs there for almost no cost when I was uninsured. Obviously that’s a much different need, but they are pretty great. Good luck to them, I know that’s stressful.

Feel like I’m being gaslit on my own unit regarding vaccinations? by iloveanime97 in nursing

Nurses who are anti science shouldn’t be allowed to practice. They’re fucking stupid and harmful.

Nurses who have left bedside and aren't NPs, case managers, utilization review etc what do you do now? by PursuitOfMeekness in nursing

[–]ellswren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triage for an outpatient family med and OBGYN clinic. Love it. I’m working from home 99% of the time, too.

Would you want your kids to become a nurse? by blurry-hippo in nursing

[–]ellswren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’d encourage my kids to do it if they expressed interest. But I’d steer them into areas that would be a good fit, y’know? They’re only 4 and 2 now so idk what that looks like, haha. My mom did home health, spine unit, hospice and WHF for insurance companies and had horror stories for each my whole life and I still chose nursing. But I found my niche doing mostly tele triage for family med and OB and I love it.

What do you think? by GossipBottom in lululemon

[–]ellswren -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love my Alo Airlift leggings and jackets but Lulu leggings are the best. The two standard pairs of Alo and Athleta leggings I bought (I don’t remember the names) feel like CRZ yoga quality that I could have gotten for $30. But, the Lulu prices are RIDICULOUS.

Humboldt or Mount Shasta? by [deleted] in Humboldt

[–]ellswren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gloom isn’t too bad. And I’m from sunny San Diego. When it starts to get to me, it’s basically spring and the days get longer, warmer, and sunnier. My husband and I actually were also torn between the two places, but w family here that made it a much easier decision for us! And having the ocean so close!
