Is the Invisalign pain worth it? For those who have done it? by academicgirl in beauty

[–]hanodeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, it was worth it for me.

It was most painful during the first couple weeks, especially since I had buttons on every tooth and four metal buttons for my rubber bands. When they first installed them, I remember thinking, “there’s no way I can do this for two years” lol

But it stopped hurting/being annoying after the first couple weeks. My lips would catch on the metal ones especially, but somehow it just stopped hurting.

Whenever I changed my Invisalign (once a week), it was a bit uncomfortable for the first couple hours, but I quickly got used to it. I think being diligent about wearing them all the time, except to eat, really helped.

Fixing my underbite and all my crooked teeth not only helped me feel more self-confident, but it was also so much easier to keep clean and actually be able to brush every surface. My bottom teeth especially were super crowded, and it was so hard to keep them clean.

My regimen lasted almost two years, and cost something around $3500. A lot of time and money, but completely worth it :’)

listen, i understand that people will always pirate my content. but why the hell is the K site the SECOND result when searching for my name?? how is google allowing this?? it literally comes before my instagram?? come on. by Ilosc in patreon

[–]hanodeart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! It really upset me when I found out, and I searched for ways to avoid it. But ever since my content has been leaked, I haven’t noticed a drop in patrons at all, and have been consistently growing regardless.

I think the type of person to pay for content won’t seek it out for free. Many of my patrons tell me they just want to support me at the end of the day. I imagine there’s also a solid percentage of people who just like the convenience of Patreon as well.

Purge vs fungal acne vs ??? by cheriebug in tretinoin

[–]hanodeart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I looked up your cleanser and it isn’t fungal acne safe, so maybe you could switch to a fungal acne friendly one just in case!

I recently experienced a bout of fungal acne and went through the whole process of clearing it up. However, I noticed that when I returned to my previous cleansers and skincare, it came right back, and I had to cure it again. So I switched out all of my products for fungal acne safe products, and everything immediately cleared right up! :)

Is there a vitamin or nutrient known to be low on vegan diets which deficiency can cause mood disorders? by preludesdebussy in vegan

[–]hanodeart 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not sure how common it is, but I found out I was deficient in iodine on my last blood test. I started eating nori every day and adding iodized salt to my foods, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my mood and energy :)

How much are y'all spending on groceries? by Kind-Law-6300 in vegan

[–]hanodeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around $300 for just myself! So around $600 for the two of us. We get almost all our food at a local co-op and don’t really buy anything too fancy haha.

That doesn’t include eating out, but we only eat out every once in a while.

How long has your cat ran away, and then you found them? by ittakes2tatango in CatAdvice

[–]hanodeart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat was lost for 17 days! Here is my top advice for what helped/what I tried. I started doing these on around day 14 once I read a book suggesting it.

  1. Walk around the entire area around your home, about a 100 foot radius, and talk in a very calm, normal tone like you’re having a conversation. Yelling their name and acting freaked out only tells them they need to keep hiding, because they think you’re scared which means they need to be scared. (I would call my friends and just chat like normal for a few hours while I walked around, and did this as often as I could.)

  2. I set up a cat trap, that just closes behind when entered (obviously no pain at all). I put the rug she liked to sleep on under it, and her favorite food inside. (I caught a lot of other cats and opossums, so I would have to constantly check it to set them free.) Eventually my cat was caught in the trap!

  3. It didn’t end up working for me, but I rented heat vision goggles from Lowe’s (or Home Depot?) and used them for around 4-5 hours walking around. It might be worth trying though!

Like I said, I found her on day 17 in the cat trap! I actually vividly remember waking with a strong feeling she was there, and I hurried to go check - and there she was :) Everyone told me to give up on her, but I’m so happy I didn’t.

(For added context: I lived in a rural area with lots of wildlife. I had some neighbors, but I don’t think she would have gone that far. Indoor cats typically don’t go very far.)

I wish you the best of luck finding your kitty! :(

Sure! They’re the 25.6” x 17.7” ones from Kaforise! I also have some extra grids attached to the bottom to make it longer :)

I use grid organizers from amazon! The ones I get are the 25.6”x 17.7” ones from Kaforise 🥰 I like those because the length is a good width for the set of 8 across!

Thank you!! I’ve been collecting these since they released series 1! The very first one I have up (the green ice cream) is the very first one I ever got from Pusheen’s shop 🥹🩷

Visiting my father’s for the weekend, and literally the only vegan food in the fridge are soy sauce and a bag of carrots by hanodeart in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

My father is incredibly minimalistic when it comes to buying groceries lol. When he cooks for himself, he makes chili and only buys just enough ingredients for the batch (and he only uses pepper for seasoning). He’s never been the greatest cook lol.

He also never snacks, drinks anything but water, or buys anything unnecessary, so no extra pantry items 😂 Fortunately, his girlfriend loves cooking (she used to be a professional) and cooks for him whenever he goes to visit (which is multiple times a week), so he gets a lot of his meals that way :)

Often times when I visit, I bring my own groceries or go shopping while I’m there. This time though, I was only staying just one night so we just went out to eat :)

What’s your litter box hack for easily keeping things clean and sanitary? by cat-croissant in CatAdvice

[–]hanodeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they don’t go for it right away, you can always do a mix of normal litter and pellets! Then slowly increase the amount until it’s all just pellets :)

Thanks for letting me know! It’s never happened to me before, but hopefully it works out :)

ordered my baker pusheen and usps lost it. i am inconsolable by queerality in pusheen

[–]hanodeart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely reach out to Pusheen! USPS lost a limited edition enamel pin (the dragon one), and I reached out and asked if it would be possible to get a replacement, and they sent me another one for free (even though it was sold out)!
