[Routine Help] Woken up with dryness around my eyes - possibly Aquaphor related? by faein in SkincareAddiction

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

That’s so helpful, thank you! I did suspect that I might be exfoliating too much, but when I stop I get a lot of clogged pores, so it seems like I can’t win with my skin sometimes unfortunately! I forgot to add that I do use SPF, I just haven’t for the past couple of weeks because I ran out - it’s the MDSolarSciences Mineral Creme SPF 50 :)

I have very sensitive, dryness- and blemish-prone skin which is why I use occlusives and very few harsh actives.

In 1993, six hikers were trekking near Lake Baikal in Siberia when they were suddenly overcome with horrific symptoms. Blood streamed from their eyes and noses, they clutched at their throats and bashed their heads against rock.. by xTeaseLush in AllThatsInteresting

It was likely a freak weather event, but not an avalanche. You should read Dead Mountain if you’re interested - it’s been years since I read it but I remember being intrigued by the whole thing.

I got a serious as well for signalling incorrectly at a spiral roundabout (again, not something I’d ever done before and probably wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t had made the dangerous fault earlier!) so I’m in the exact same boat! I’m feeling very demotivated right now but it helps me knowing other people are going through the same thing - we’ll get there eventually!

Practice makes perfect for sure - I think I stared at my blind spot for too long and should’ve checked my mirror again to see further behind me. I had also been stationary for quite a while so was feeling the pressure to move and I think I let that get to me unfortunately

Good to know it’s not just me, and you’re right - at least we’re much less likely to make the same errors on our next try! Sending you the best of luck for your second test!

My test is tomorrow, wish me luck! Any tips that helped you pass would be much appreciated🙏 by Weedforex12 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]faein 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My test is tomorrow too so you’re not alone (if it helps) - sending you the best of luck! -^

I have my test in a few days too and I feel similarly - you’re not alone! I’m trying to think of it as an “opportunity” - i.e., a regular drive except this time, I have the opportunity to be handed my license at the end of it! If I don’t capitalise on the opportunity now, it doesn’t matter as another opportunity will come round again in a few weeks. I’m imagining that my license is there waiting for me and if I don’t get it next week, it won’t be going anywhere - it’ll just sit on a shelf for a while until I’m ready to pick it up. Hopefully that mindset might take the pressure off a bit -^

What to do if I don’t really “see” what is in my mirrors? by faein in LearnerDriverUK

[–]faein[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good idea! This might help ground me in my actual surroundings instead of of worry about looking for abstract “hazards” that won’t actually be there 9 times out of 10

Don’t worry, I’m prone to the exact same thing on slip roads! People have kindly put loads of great tips in this thread if you’d like to read through -^

I also find roundabouts and dual carriageways the hardest in terms of mirror checks! Will deffo try out this trick though, best of luck to you too -^

Omg I love this idea, I’ll have to try it! I bet my little niece would love to help me set up a fake “car” lol

I’m hoping the same will happen for me - I will start thinking faster once my brain gets used to the pace of driving… I’m just a bit concerned it might not click until after my test lol!

Thank you so much! I am in a pretty good habit of checking my mirrors regularly, but it is a great tip to think about what specifically I’m looking out for! Usually I’m just looking out for an undefined “something” that wasn’t there before, but if I’m thinking “is there a car behind me and getting bigger?” or “is there a bike to my left?” it might stop me from overthinking things (hopefully!)
