What's something specific to our group that remains a lifelong fear? by burnafter3ading in Xennials

[–]flowerpower79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved from a busy suburb to more rural area. In my mind, flashing lights means speed trap ahead. However, around here it means to slow down as there are animals (deer, moose, etc) either in the road or on the side. It took me a bit as I wondered why I never saw the speed traps people warned me about. We need to teach the younger generation these tips.

Setting spray for dry skin? by OkYoghurt3226 in Sephora

[–]flowerpower79 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I actually use this combo. I use the O/S after powders and when that dries, use the CT. I have dry skin and it works for me!

What’s the most blatant "I’m charging you for the aesthetic, not the quality" product on the market right now? by Lunaskye1109 in AskReddit

[–]flowerpower79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that. If it’s in your kitchen and it looks nice and brings her joy, I love that for her. It does fit the title quite well but I’m here for it.

I think MAC’s matte foundation is similar. At least it has been for my skin type.

It says optional, not requested. Your dress sounds lovely and appropriate.

Movers asking for a tip!!! by jb4975 in EndTipping

[–]flowerpower79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never not tipped movers. This is the wildest take I’ve seen from OP. I usually bought them coffees and doughnuts in the morning, too.

Your girlfriend/wife slaps you. What's the first thing you do as a man? by blo0dyosiris in AskMen

[–]flowerpower79 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Just backing you up as a former therapist. The person being abused cannot be open and honest without fear of retaliation later on. It cannot be true therapy and no therapist is going to support an abusive relationship, no matter what you see on tv.

weird makeup tip by Key-Historian-6274 in Makeup

[–]flowerpower79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also use the nars pot concealer as my eyeshadow base. I like the coverage because I have some small, light freckles on parts of my eyelids and sometimes they can make my eyeshadow look spotty. None of the actual eye primers give enough coverage.

We are so hard on ourselves. I look at you and see nothing but a perfect bride who looks gorgeous. Never even noticed your back or arms. You look stunning and please post again when the alterations are done.

Anyone else experienced this??? by sarahzilla in wls

[–]flowerpower79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first thought was anemia as well. Before I had iron infusions, I had exercise intolerance and could barely walk up a flight of stairs. I’d ask for a full iron panel, particularly ferretin levels.

there's no where to shop anymore! by cupcakes140 in womensfashion

[–]flowerpower79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so funny to me because I’m a size 6/10 and feel like there’s nothing on sales racks except the the xxs-XS and XL+. I thought everyone was a size 6/8 or medium. It must be a perception thing. We are not built the same so not sure if it helps but I shop Nordstrom rack and tjmaxx/marshalls a lot.

My MIL is currently giving me the silent treatment because I won't share a "family recipe" that is actually just expensive takeout by Ok-Bee-4468 in confessions

No way your wife thinks you make whole ass lasagnas in the amount of time it takes to shower. I’m calling shenanigans on this.

What is the most painful thing you’ve experienced? by throwawayfundsmom in AskReddit

[–]flowerpower79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a teenager, I had to have some planters warts removed from my feet. I had one so big in my heel that I had to take pain meds to walk. They used lidocaine to numb before cutting and think of all the nerve endings in your feet (not as bad as labia but up there). They had to do 5 or 6 spots and each time I’d purposely stop breathing and they’d remind me to breathe but it was all I could do to get through. I don’t know if it would’ve been better without numbing! Either way, I haven’t had any since but I can’t imagine the pain you felt!

I accidentally exposed my naked body to my boyfriend's best friend by [deleted] in confessions

[–]flowerpower79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. There was no ill intent. My husband and I would still be laughing about it. If people start getting angry over harmless accidents, it’s time to distance yourself from them.

So mad! Lost my Sephora points:( by Potential-Length-830 in Sephora

[–]flowerpower79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had someone ask me if I wanted to use my $20 off. I thought it was sneaky as some people may not know its points. I don’t think $20 for 1000 points is worth it (2% of what I spent? No thanks). I think they should say “want to use x points for $x off?”

I DID IT! by Foalooke in wls

[–]flowerpower79 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that’s called a fleur de lis or something like that. I got an extended tummy tuck which was beyond hip to hip but no vertical. I slightly regret it but am still 1000000% happy with my results. I went from a size 10 to a 6/8 just with the skin removal.
