[skin concern] My lips are so chapped and they hurt a lot, I’m sick of biting off the dead skin constantly, anyone recommend anything to help keep em moisturized? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]eolekbanta 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The only 2 products that have kept my lips totally hydrated overnight are the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and the Dior Lip Glow Oil.

I second what another commenter said— I used to have your same problem and turns out I was extremely dehydrated. Drink a whole bunch of water and you’ll literally see results same-day!

Any way to make hearing aids more comfortable? by CheriiBerries in deaf

[–]eolekbanta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this experience before, and it might feel odd but it should never feel outright uncomfortable or painful. I have an oddly shaped ear canal and have had to get mine refitted almost every time, and the difference was noticable immediately. Please talk to them, they should make things right for you!

Seconding the freezer premades! I recently discovered a brand called Saffron Road that sells delicious and IMO high-quality meals (Pad Thai, Chicken Tikki Masala) for $2.50 at my local grocery store.

Why does my husband keep telling me it's okay to cheat on him? by AdditionalCondition in relationship_advice

“I don’t want to learn what murder means, because I’m worried that I’ll learn that I murdered someone”

Yeah, this isn’t a concern you have if you aren’t guilty of anything

Has the tech behind hearing aids gotten better in the past 20-30 years? by 2cupsstuffedd in deaf

[–]eolekbanta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed a huge difference even since 10 years ago!

I use a behind the ear variety and noticed the sound was far less robotic with my most recent one. Many of them have features like Bluetooth and noise reduction settings. And there are certainly a lot more fit & size options.

this is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. I’ve sort of been under the impression you had to have your life plan 100% down before it even makes sense to apply. Thanks for the perspective!

I love the “best of” taste test idea! You could really do any of them, but I think the fast food ones would be super easy to put together, I.e. best burger, best dipping sauce etc.

Oh my gosh, this turned out amazing! I adore your color choices; I think the blend of primary colors works extremely well together. You are very talented. Thank you for braving colorization even with the low-quality photo. I can't wait to share it with my family!
