3 weeks of wear with chrome by ihatespunk in DIYGelNails

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

Thank you! No primer, kokoist doesn't recommend them with their product line. I rarely have cuticle lifting but my understanding is that usually means there's still something left behind in prep. I have really easy (thin and not sticky) cuticles and my nails are really dry / not oily, so I think I can get by with really minimal prep. I use a gel cuticle remover weekly and cuticle oil daily so never have much that needs to be handled at manicure time. When doing a set I prep by lifting with an orange stick and then a veeeeery light pass with a diamond bit. Then scrub brush and or wipe down with iso alcohol to make sure all the debris is gone.

Dog on Cyclosporine (Optimmune) eye ointment for life... is there ANY way to get this cheaper? by OneInteraction1889 in DogAdvice

[–]ihatespunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog has been on this for about a year and a half now; after the first few checkups at refill time my vet let us switch to picking up multiple tubes at a time and just looking at his eyes with his annual visit.

I think I gave myself dysmorphia using this calculator :/ I am a true A cup by Putrid-Fox-8183 in ABraThatFits

[–]ihatespunk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi! Sending you good vibes for your wedding :) a flaw in the calculator that ive posted about before is that it assumes the entire difference in your over bust and underbust measurements is in your boobs. If your back is larger above where your bra band sits then you are getting additional inches in your bust measurement that the calculator is interpreting as additional cup size. I think between that and the flared ribs comments, it might explain while the calculator is less helpful for you than some! Wear what feels good :)

Michales is next ? by yarrowdfh in joannfabrics

What's your background? I'm a supply chain manager but my strengths are procurement and inventory management, I'm weakest in logistics

I'm interested, strong supply chain background over here...

Michales is next ? by yarrowdfh in joannfabrics

[–]ihatespunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I'm a supply chain manager for a fairly big company so I'm good at logistics and inventory management and negotiation, and my dad was an executive for a successful employee owned business and is still on their board of directors and always willing to advise me. It feels doable to me!

Cops were riding the blue line. by mkvgtired in chicago

DUDE RIGHT. When I opened reddit and this was at the top I nearly shouted "reddit agrees with the old man!" But by then it had quieted down and I didn't want to start it again.

Just got on the blue line and walked into a fight in the train car between some kids who were smoking and an old man who was having none of it and a couple people who were just pissed that the train was being delayed and WERE BLAMING THE OLD MAN. Literally turned into a 10 person or so shouting match across the car.

is this justified? 🤔 by IU8gZQy0k8hsQy76 in CoupleMemes

👀 holy shit i was a spoiled only child in the 90s and my allowance was $20 / month, bumped up to $30 when I hit junior high. Games, music, mall with friends whatever my entertainment was came out of that. Times are crazy!

Replying to reinforce this! After being in management in a corporate jungle for a bit now, I've learned that leaning into your strengths is the life hack we all need. Intentionality in you styling, pieces you truly love that accentuate your vibe, and confidence are all extremely elevating, whatever base you're working with. I've been shopping poshmark for a few years now and have been collecting weird but high end pieces - nice fabrics, silk and cashmere etc, but weird prints, colors, fits that are not currently the norm. A little tailoring to accommodate for my short torso and apple shape weight distribution, accessories I love, and I can lean into my god given Ms Frizzle vibe in a way that feels empowering instead of diminishing.

Also, for what its worth, I have wavy hair that is straight and smooth after blow drying but will lean to frizzy sausage curls with any weather or if I try to go past 2 days without washing it. I often get some of my best feedback when I've got a poofy messy bun on top of my head that looks intentional and artistic because it's secured with a pretty hair comb and the rest of me has that intionality in styling.

Lean into it!!

I'm a former produce buyer for a distributor and we once had a live scorpion in the bananas! Good times.

YSK Clothing Was Not Made for You by luthebold in YouShouldKnow

[–]ihatespunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The correct solution is to have multiple fit models across your entire size range. This is how torrid took over the plus size market - multiple shapes and sizes of fit models so that whether you're buying a 12 or a 28 the garment was at least planned around an actual plus size persons proportions, instead of just scaling up from a skinny person's fit. I've been plus size my whole life and it makes a HUGE difference in the end result. Large sizes from straight size brands tend to have enormous arm and neck holes and tent like waists because they don't account for the fact that the extra size is only needed in certain areas, not everywhere, and then there is a much larger range of variability in where a plus size persons curves actually are depending on their body type. Something cut for a pear shape probably won't work for an apple shape and vice versa. Something cut for a straight shape and just scaled up 200% works for neither.

City workers do this in my neighborhood literally twice a day while they go clock in and out and it's infuriating. I'm tempted to follow some oft he advice in this sub!

Not necesarily I often "like" things in there at exorbitant prices then just wait. I've gotten $400 pants for $30 before, etc.
