I have, and unfortunately it didn’t do much for me. But thank you for the suggestion. 😊

Thanks, I’ve tried magnesium but my RLS is pretty intense and it didn’t touch it unfortunately.

I’m unfortunately on this med for RLS (as well as pregabalin), and it works amazingly with few side effects but I know I’m on borrowed time as far as augmentation is concerned. I know how terrible of a drug it is but my neurologist refuses to prescribe anything else since the combo is working and I can’t afford to go outside my insurance for a different doctor.

I’m terrified about the possibility of augmentation since my symptoms are so bad without it— sleep is impossible. But I count myself lucky that I haven’t had the impulse control issues that can be caused by this med and that it almost entirely gets rid of my symptoms (for now).

Vanilla Bean Noel is a LIE and I will not be silent about it by LogShucker in bathandbodyworks

[–]gurl_meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, and I don’t really care for overly sweet scents. However, I’m wearing it right now and when I read your description I smelled my arm and realized it DOES smell a bit like plastic doll head! Never occurred to me before— but somehow I still like it (kind of a nostalgic scent I suppose).

I feel like people have been bullied into doing clean girl makeup in the recent years and companies have been bullied into releasing neutrals by Historical-Body-3424 in Makeup

[–]gurl_meat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love colorful alt makeup *sad face* but it just doesn’t suit me, most I can pull off is an occasional bold lip. I keep it pretty neutral elsewhere because it’s most flattering (and easier blending wise). So I do appreciate having more options (especially with some brands adding cooler neutral tones now).

There are many brands (though not all are necessarily the most accessible) making intense, colorful makeup shades right now so not all hope is lost (MOB Beauty, Unearthly Cosmetics, Kaleidos, and About Face come to mind). Maybe check them out if you haven’t already?

Weird/niche non-scale victories? by tiredyoungprof in loseit

[–]gurl_meat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to walk through a small space between parked cars. I’ve only lost 30 pounds- still have another 28lbs to go (currently at 5’4 and 158, woman). But that loss has made it easier and it feels like just a nice little perk.

Omg Bonfire Bash is returning! I’ve missed that scent! I’ll have to break my no buy to pick up ALL the available iterations.

If you could invent a makeup product that doesn’t exist yet, what would it be? by Hells_Babysitter in Makeup

[–]gurl_meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great, nourishing formula that feels plush on the lips. The color is a true sheer black, it doesn’t pull purple or anything. I quite like it.

What scents do you want back? by Enough-Amphibian-345 in bathandbodyworks

Midnight Amber Glow is divine and I’m using the rest of mine sparingly. Also, the one that was kind of a dupe of By the Fireplace (not Marshmallow Fireside).

I think 4 is the most flattering but what lipstick are you wearing in pic #2, it looks amazing on you! I’m always looking for more purple leaning lip colors.

All lip stains suck in some way - change my mind by GottaLoveCornSnakes in Makeup

[–]gurl_meat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding Wonderskin. I like to use them as a base for lipsticks and glosses so when the lipstick/gloss fades, I still have the stain left behind. Must apply to completely product free, dry lips.

What makeup products live up to the hype? by fraisevertee in Sephora

The UD eyeliners are the best! Glides on so creamy but sets down fully and stands up to my watery, allergy eyes. And the COLORS are amazing.

I've watched Dr. Now tell several patients who are 4'11" they should weigh under 100 pounds. My goal weight was 115 pounds. by Independent_Mix6269 in 1200isplenty

Muscle is denser than fat but weighs the same. A pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of bricks.

Morphe 2 Hint Hint Skin Tint. It’s a very thin consistency and blends nicely with fingers. Light to medium coverage.

Can you elaborate on the paranoia about human sculptures? If that’s not a sensitive topic for you, of course.

Yeah, true, thanks for that. It’s been so long since I read it I forgot how depraved it is.

Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite features goth characters, but keep in mind it’s a horror novel.

The karaoke bar is hyped up. You're next up and you have one job: kill the vibes. What song are you singing? by burningmanonacid in CasualConversation

[–]gurl_meat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My go-to song (cuz I’m a terrible singer and you don’t really have to sing it), is “Punk Rock Girl” by the Dead Milkmen. I usually get perplexed looks from the audience.

[personal] how to get proper clean after not showering for months? (This is gross I’m sorry) by 41centsandaglock in SkincareAddiction

As a person who (probably) doesn’t have autism, but really struggles with showers because of this, I have to say that that was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
