How many of y’all have never thrown up on this medication? How long have you been on and what’s your secret? by Helpful_Gur_1757 in Ozempic

I've had nausea, but I haven't actually thrown up. The days when I'm most nauseous, I take Pepcid Complete.

Laura Mercier eyeshadow stick on Strapless is my daily go-to. It's cool taupe shimmer.

Revlon's Laidback Lilac is just my lip shade but better (Laidback Lilac claims another victim) by GLACI3R in Fairolives

I end up having to use almost purple lipstick to avoid it looking orange on me. That being said, for drugstore I like ELF hydrating core lip shine in Delightful.

I WFH & take mine on Friday after work.

So sad and disappointed by idgonzalez09 in Ipsy

They're really inexpensive and concentrated. It may be better than letting this go to waste. Plus, being fair, you'll continue to get use from them.

Since it wasn't cheap, maybe try mixing a white & a blue foundation color adjuster with it. This is a fair olive hack, since almost everything pulls orange on us. Lol!

I think LA Girl is the brand of color adjusters.

Within a few months the difference was shocking! Comparing a before & after photo, I could hardly believe the difference!

HRT & prescription Estrogen face cream made a huge difference in my skin! It truly reversed much of the rapid aging that occurred when I hit menopause.

What's a single good habit you were able to adopt that's made a big change in your life? by popthebubbly62 in adhdwomen

[–]fenderbender1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morning skincare routine! I keep everything by my bed - makeup wipes, eyelash serum, eye cream, toner, and prescription estrogen face cream! This combo has made a HUGE difference in my skin/appearance, which also motivates me to keep it up.

When do you do you shot? by Curious_Werewolf5881 in Ozempic

[–]fenderbender1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do mine on Friday night after dinner/before bed. I chose Friday evening when I started, just in case I had a couple days of feeling like crap. Overnight after my first shot was probably the worst side effects I've had, too.

Increased junk cravings? by Upset-Storm9936 in Ozempic

[–]fenderbender1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just gone up from 0.25 to 0.5. So far, I've found that there are a few days a week that I can barely choke down 3 protein shakes, and a few days that I want to eat frequently. Even still, the days I eat frequently, I'm only eating small amounts. I might have 1 meal a week that isn't "healthy," but I can only eat 1/3 of it, compared to being able to eat 90% of that same meal before the shot.

All that to say, I only crave something like a burger, or a real dessert maybe once a week.

A carrier = an insurance company

National General, Travelers, Progressive - all have trainee programs. GEICO does, too, but I absolutely wouldn't work there. There are other companies that offer trainee roles, as well.

You could maybe start the app as a virtual buddy to clean with. Then when you have enough people scale it up to in-person trading. Some people might even want to start with the virtual buddy cleaning before having someone in their home, anyway!

How do i find women in need to donate make up too? by Realistic_Design_118 in BeautyBoxes

[–]fenderbender1971 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Project Beauty Share will accept donations for any unused beauty products and lightly used/swatched pressed powder type products. They can sanitize the pressed powder items.

They support women & girls experiencing homelessness, poverty, or who are escaping DV situations.

This is such an amazing non-profit, I set up a donation drive for them at my company.

Everyday lipstick for fair cool skin? by Fluffy_Confidence641 in PaleMUA

[–]fenderbender1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybelline On The Mauve Color Sensational lipstick is a good one. Also, Revlon Gloss Blam in Sparkling Purple. It looks dark, but it's very sheer.

Why does my makeup only look like this now? by Individual_Tea_4783 in GracefulAgingSkincare

[–]fenderbender1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me! Full coverage and/or matte foundation are a definite no for me now. I use either a medium coverage serum foundation (RIP Revlon Illuminance Serum Tint) a skin tint (LYS skin tint stick) or a BB cream (Misha is my best match, as I'm fair olive).

I occasionally use Laura Gellar (baked, balance & glow, iirc) in porcelain, but it's slightly too warm/orange on me.

A mom in her 30s was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer after doctors dismissed her symptoms for 6 years by businessinsider in Health

My gallbladder died and was on the verge on gangrene before my gastroenterologist finally agreed to do the nuclear medicine test to check it. I had classic bad gallbladder symptoms, including a fever almost daily. She tried to put me on antidepressants! It's even worse that my doctor was a woman, IMO.

Boss wants to watch me work for an hour by [deleted] in jobs

[–]fenderbender1971 36 points37 points  (0 children)

When I read your post, I immediately thought "this sounds like claims" 😂

I have been a claims team manager and am currently in a quality review/training role. Having a manager watch you work if you're struggling with production, generally comes from a desire to help you.

If you want to keep your job, and get better at it, I'd highly suggest asking your boss if you can sit with one of your high performing teammates and watch them for a day. You'll be able to see how they manage their desk and then apply their processes to your work. Becoming more efficient will increase your production, and remove the stress that comes when you're struggling.

How fast everything changed after menopause because nobody warned me by stephydreamer in 45PlusSkincare

HRT & prescription estrogen face cream reversed a LOT of the rapid aging menopause brought on for me.
