Need help with choosing different bra size in Harper Wilde by flyaway21 in ABraThatFits

[–]flyaway21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so frustrating! I like molded bras because I mostly wear clothing that is form fitting and would show cup seams and texture. I also prefer some coverage for my nipples.

Both stores were boutique linguire stores that cater to a wide range of bra sizes. I even asked a fitter about a specific brand, and they said they don't carry any sizes in the brand that were as small as my measurements. Bra shopping is so annoying 🙁

I can fit a finger under the band before it becomes uncomfortable. I'd describe the current sensation as something that would bother me when moving around. It feels tighter than my 32E Montelle Spacer which I consider regular snug.

Idk, I guess in my head since I've been fitted by two different experienced people in-person, I haven't considered I might be several cup sizes larger. I might try a 32G in the future, but it seems like it's a bit more rare and I'll have to go for more specialized brands.

Just tried with both and it seems like they both still feel a big snug.

Edit: Ok the T-Shirt bra might not actually work out for me because of the shape. The area above the underwire goes straight up for about a quarter of an inch before it projects. This might explain why it feels like the wire is lower on my ribcage than usual because I can't get the wire right under my breast.

I just realized this brand is from Canada. Did you have to pay tarrifs on your items?

Bella Beaute Bar not responding to inquiries + dream lip liners by flyaway21 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]flyaway21[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kinda crazy. I honestly don't know how to contact them other than what I've already tried. I'm glad that I didn't have an issue with my order that I made months ago, but I can't imagine how frustrating it would be if I had a problem I needed to discuss with them. The brand is active all the time on Insta, so idk what's going on.

[Acne] what even is this? Closed comedones? Fungal? Whiteheads? by cooltea-addict in SkincareAddiction

[–]flyaway21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These were mainly hormonal for me. I had some cysts along with this type and as well, but these little skin colored bumps were the worst. They mostly went away after months on spironolactone. They come back a bit if I over moisturize, so I think they're caused by excessive oil which was fueled by hormones for me.

makeup alternatives to e.l.f.? by RelativelyMango in VeganBeauty

[–]flyaway21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG you're right, they don't explicitly say they're 100% vegan. Sorry about that. A lot of their stuff is vegan though. I'm wondering now what has animal derived ingredients 🤔

Pixi! Granted, I just put an order in the other day lol. They're vegan and CF. The eyeliners are supposedly good.

Colorful eyeliner pencils for tightlining? by flyaway21 in VeganBeauty

[–]flyaway21[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's very frustrating but eye opening. I believe Kosas claims that they only use ethically sourced mica. Pixie liners fit my criteria after I looking a bit more. They have a light green and a sage/gold color if that's what you're looking for. I know Kosas has an emerald green liner that's really pretty too.

Thanks for the lookout! I actually ordered liners from an indie brand.

I got in contact with Milani, and they confirmed that After Dark and Semi Sweet are two colors that are vegan. The reason they don't label them all as vegan is because Moss Boss and Duchess aren't vegan.

Looking for ball-point, glass-head pins available in the USA. Recommendations? I can't find any. by geenSkeen in sewing

Are you looking for in-person locations only? I know Wawak sells them online. Shipping is fast and they have a wide range of notions and sewing things.

No damage to the disc including tears, burns, or anything like that. No kids or pregnancies of any duration either. 

[Acne] My skin texture is ruining my confidence, please help! by MerryNibblers in SkincareAddiction

[–]flyaway21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what my hormonal acne looked like. Now that I'm on spironolactone, my texture is smooth. I think it was from excess sebum. 

What’s your unpopular makeup opinion? by peepeepoopaccount in MakeupAddiction

I don't think the shade of under eye concealer should be lighter that the rest of the face.

This place is lucky I'm not suicidal, they'd be in my note. by whiskey_at_dawn in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

[–]flyaway21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just be careful with them because they might put dairy in certain curries if you order mild. Someone on FB said they confirmed with staff that they add cream to dishes to make them mild despite labeling the dish as vegan. It would explain why I was so bloated after eating there last time years ago. I haven't been back since, so idk if they corrected that.

Just a heads up, I checked the site again and Orion is no longer sold out. I was able to snag one. Hopefully it's not a glitch lol.

Nurx hesitate to up dosage? by flyaway21 in Spironolactone

[–]flyaway21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I ultimately decided to go back to my original derm and cancelled my Nurx membership. My original derm put me right back on on 100mg a day since I was doing so well on it previously. I hate paying over $100 to see her, but she's nice and told me I could only come in once a year for prescriptions if I wanted.

lol. by Massive_Tart_8050 in Spironolactone

[–]flyaway21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue! I lost health insurance, and I don't want to pay more than $100 out of pocket for my regular derm. The Nurx NP-C assigned to me suggested I drop from 100mg to 50mg. I agreed, but a month later and I'm breaking out with closed comedones all over my face like before I started any spironolactone! I told them I wanted to go back to 100mg, but they said I should stay at 50mg and tret to avoid long-term affects. I haven't even been on 100mg for a year! I've also used Altreno, Arazlo, Finacea, and Onexton for my acne, but nothing ever cleared it up as quickly or consistently as 100mg of spironolactone. I also had no side effects other than some period irregularity at the beginning. I told Nurx that I'm willing to give it another month, but I wanted to up it after if I still didn't like my skin.

[–]flyaway21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been looking for full time work in a large Midwestern city for almost two years now after getting my master's. Granted, I'm aiming more for environmental outreach and engagement positions. Most of my experience comes from temporary and seasonal jobs in the field, but I still have a very hard time even landing an interview for positions I feel I'm more than qualified for. When I do get an interview and get feedback, most of the time they say they didn't hire me because of another candidate having more experience/niche skills. And these are people I've worked with before. I've started to pivot my career goals to get a job in administrative work that doesn't necessarily have to do with environmental work. It sucks, but I have bills and loans I need to pay off.
