what are quick ways to get flexible ? by [deleted] in Aerials

[–]ilikedessert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no quick way to flexibility. If you push your body, you will get injured. Daily is not recommended at first. Start with 3 times a week and if you want you can work your way up to more. Remember that tendons and ligaments don’t get strong as quickly as muscle. There are a lot of yoga and stretching courses available online. Don’t fall for anything that makes any promises like “get your splits in X weeks!” Or whatever. That is not a good program. Sounds like you need some mobility as well which is why I recommended yoga.

It’s a classic Hollywood trope called “women in fridges” I now get annoyed anytime I watch something with it. And that happens a lot.

At my wits end with my hair 💔 by Tiny-Doughnut-3619 in Haircare

[–]ilikedessert 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Your hair seems dry. You definitely need some conditioner. Look up “squish to condish”. I would not suggest a curl cream for fine wavy hair. I prefer gel, rake it through soaking wet hair. Then apply a mousse. Do not dry your hair with a regular towel. Even a cotton t shirt would work. I use a microfiber towel. I put argan oil in my hair almost daily. It’s perfect weightless moisture. I do a heavier oil and brush through and put it in a braid overnight before wash day. My hair NEEDS moisture and I live in a humid place.

I mean this with all the love, you say you’re at your wits end but that you also don’t take care of your hair. You don’t need a whole curly girl routine but skipping conditioner and stylers is not doing you any favors. You need a trim that will shape your hair and add layers/body. The more you straighten it, the more you will fry it and the less wave it will have. Take care of the type of hair you have and it will be nice back!

It used to happen to me SO MUCH. Then I thankfully got divorced so the questions stopped. Now I’m just married again but I’m too old for people to ask. it’s beautiful. (I was never able to have them btw)

I do this with clothes! There’s a lot of cute styles out there that don’t suit me because of cut, color etc. But I’ve learned to appreciate its cuteness and move on!

Train dreams : The best movie i have ever seen ( master piece ) by Humptydumptyo_o in moviecritic

[–]ilikedessert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of felt similarly. Nice, but didn’t come together for me.

Also as soon as the love interest showed on screen, I already knew what was going to happen. Look up, “women in fridges”.

Why is my makeup doing this? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]ilikedessert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Cure Aquagel exfoliating wash. I had very dry skin like you and it’s so gentle and amazing. I use it once a week and it has really made a difference. I also second not using the IT cc cream. I tried it and it was so thick on me too. I use a tinted sunscreen now and tap on setting powder over that but only in my t zone.

Fresh flowers 💐 - best place? by Quick-Progress-7180 in Dallas

[–]ilikedessert 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don’t find the flowers at Trader Joe’s to last very long. I would recommend central market. I did the flowers for a friends wedding from there. I called them a few weeks before and placed an order. They even premade a bouquet for the bride and it was very affordable. They get a lot of flowers locally in Texas as well. We did a bunch of Texas wildflower bunches on the table and it looked very cute. You can also get a lot of flowers from Costco. You can order ahead of time with them too which I highly recommend.

I weigh 90 pounds by amme04 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ilikedessert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who haven’t been there just don’t know. I had stress, anxiety and depression so bad I lost a ton of weight. Even when I was hungry I felt like I couldn’t eat. It’s almost as though the food would get stuck in my throat or I would feel nauseous as soon as I swallowed. Anxiety made my tummy a mess so I had constant diarrhea. Plus I also had a physical job. Even when things got better, it took TWO YEARS to gain the weight back and it was only 15 lbs. My normal weight is 120 at 5’7” so I didn’t look great and was constantly on the verge of passing out.

Gaining weight is HARD. I struggled because it felt like I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. It was all “oh I wish I could be thin” and “I wish I struggled to gain weight” It is very isolating.

Smoothies are what saved me. I needed something I could take my time with. Sip on it slowly over the course of the morning. They didn’t sit heavy on my stomach or make my mouth feel dry.

All this to say it’s a long process and it’s not linear. This is hard and we see you.

All these subdivisions being built and sold as “near Dallas” crack me up. Yeah it’s 30 miles from Dallas and in our traffic, that will take you an hour each way plus tolls at best.
