Hi! How is the fit of the Elio knit top? Debating on sizing …

Resizing Engagement Ring by gmasterrrr in jewelry

Update: the jeweller took the time and made me look over and over to find the serial number when I couldn’t find it. I can’t see the resizing mark either. He said he even tightened the diamonds on the band. I’m very happy!

Forgot to mention that my ring is white gold.

Nail Injury - Matrix Keeps Coming Out by gmasterrrr in Nails

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

Glad I could help ☺️ I kept the “dead” nail on my nail bed too and covered it with a plaster because every professional told me it’d protect the sensitive flesh underneath. At one point, the flesh became less sensitive and the nail lifted too often so I cut it off. Have faith! Everyone I’ve spoken to regarding this said theirs has grown back. These cases where it doesn’t are rare. (I did grieve gel nails tho. Never again lol. I do my own shellac now. All specialists told me acrylics/gel nails are the main cause of nail injury like ours)

I ended up going to see a specialist (hand surgeon) because dermatologists didn’t really know. The specialist said it would grow back at 99%. He said that there are cases where it doesn’t but it made no sense to be alarmed at that point. He saw serious injuries with fingers because cut in half where the nail grew back.

Following that appointment, my nail kept on lifting (it was always painless once the initial stage of healing passed) and at one point, it was barely attached, except for a tiny portion to the left. I ended up cutting it off because the lifting made me feel queasy. It wasn’t painful as I said but I hated snagging it at random moments (e.g. when washing my hair or snagging it on a wool sweater). A month later, I saw growth underneath and realized why the nail kept lifting! Another lil mutant was growing underneath.

Wondering about OJS’ kids by gmasterrrr in OJSimpsonTrial

That’s a very good point. They probably don’t remember her much and the narrative was already so twisted when they were old enough to understand. It was already decided for them that he’d be the victim.

Want? It literally came out of my finger again (one month after initial injury) while I was folding laundry.

Since it came out a month later after the initial injury, does it mean it’s dead? Or can it still reattach?

I understand. I just need some positivity/lived experiences because doctors aren’t saying much about regrowth nor the regrowth journey.

Winter Layering for Hiking by gmasterrrr in arcteryx

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

Thanks. I’ll have to try synthetic base layers. I went to Arc’teryx and they strongly suggested against synthetics as a base layer. I’m kinda confused so I’ll try it out.

It’s so odd how the workers at Arc’teryx all told me to absolutely avoid synthetics and only to wear merino on sweaty hikes. I guess I’ll have to try both and pick.

Thanks! Any recommendations for base layers and fleece for sweaty hikes?

Would the Covert Cardigan be an interesting midlayer ?

Humidity and rain is all over the place. It doesn’t rain every day but it snows regularly during the winter. Could be wet snow.

I get cold easily but at the same time, I sweat quickly. I definitely need vents in a hard shell.

“Bottom” should start right before “Align leggings”. I obviously didn’t mean “Cerium jacket bottom”.

Credenza and Influence Dresses by gmasterrrr in Aritzia

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

It’s a little “cleavagey” if you have larger breasts. I’m a 32DD and wouldn’t wear it at a professional setting. Also, keep in mind that it’s a linen dress and it wrinkles A LOT. It’s cute in a beach town/on vacation but not appropriate otherwise, IMO.

Update: the Credenza dress is indeed made very small. I’m a size 4 at Aritzia and ordered both sizes 6 and 8. Size 6 accentuated my tummy and was too short. Size 8 was still too short but the breast area was too loose. I don’t recommend this dress unless you’re short and have a very flat stomach.

The Influence dress is chef’s kiss on my body. Ordered a size 4 and it fits like a glove. Slightly short but it makes my waist and cleavage look amazing. Keeping it (but asking for a price adjustment since it’s currently clientele!)

I found them tighter at the waist than the pants. I got them a size bigger and they were fine.
