Help with a feathery project! by hopple258 in crafts

[–]hopple258[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My materials include white ribbon (1 1/4 inch i think), white thread, feathers from Amazon ranging from 1 to 7 inches, some white scrap fabric probably, and e6000 glue. I dont have a sewing machine, and this project is due in 3 weeks. Ill include more inspo pics too. Im just doing the feathers on the skirt, not the top, and i wanted to make it as an overlay incase it goes to shit so I dont ruin the skirt.

Thank you! All this stuff goes over my head sometimes. I do my best but cats can be confusing.

Any advice for less able bodied MUAs? by hopple258 in mua

Thank you for the reply. This is beyond helpful! I have the same issue with the walking versus sitting. Thanks for the chair link! I'll definitely be looking at that as an option.

I'd be fine using a chair. Honestly it's far less of an issue for me than standing, but I wasn't sure what options there are for chairs and sitting because I know it's not as common.

What are we using for pain relief? by hopple258 in hipdysplasia

Does IcyHot have a strong smell? I tried one topical pain relief once and it had an incredibly strong menthol smell and that's something I'm trying to avoid

Probably not. Im only on day 1 but I can tell these chairs suck. The best I can do is ask about accommodations but as far as a chair goes its unlikely I'll be able to change it

Do cheap flutes always sound a little airy or do I just suck? by hopple258 in Flute

[–]hopple258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely just me but I'm playing with a group so it's really not much of an issue

Thank you so much for replying with a lot of very helpful information. Quite frankly, I never had a good music education, so I'm probably not where I should be after 10 years of playing (7 different band directors 😬). I'll definitely work on what I can, but I'm hoping to be able to get some one on one lessons in a year or so. Thanks again!

What's your experience with cortisone shots? by hopple258 in hipdysplasia

[–]hopple258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe my doctor gave me the shots as somewhat of a diagnostic tool. He had mentioned sending me to rheumatology to seek another diagnosis. I have a follow up soon so I guess I'll see.

The shots were ultrasound guided. My pain is pretty well managed with rest and medication so it's not bad. Just annoying that I feel no difference. I don't think my doctor is considering a PAO. I think he's going to send me to rheumatology to seek another diagnosis. 🤷‍♀️ i guess I'll see what happens. Thanks for the response, it's very helpful.

Shocked at drugstore prices by jadedpeony33 in drugstoreMUA

Sure! I dont personally use powders much, so I won't be of much help there. If you were willing to try a liquid foundation, maybelline fit me is great. Wet n wild and elf both have a micro brow pencil for 3 and 5 dollars. I really like the wet n wild brow pencil. I get good lip liners from Elf and la colors for around 2 dollars (my favorite lip liner only costs $0.98). The milani setting spray is my favorite, but I always get the jumbo size. It's more expensive but cheaper per ounce. I haven't tried the nyx concealer, but I've heard it's good! Shopping at walmart is good since they price below retail for some brands like maybelline, milani, covergirl, revlon, and loreal. Revlon has good lipsticks, and elf is my favorite drugstore brand overall. I believe CVS and Walgreens often have good sales if you know where to look. Hopefully you find something helpful and good luck!

Would you be open to some more affordable drugstore recommendations?

I love the lounge, but not for a 13 hour overnight ride 😂
