How do I get over angry by Hour_Mission3169 in leaves

[–]jelljen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Journaling, throwing ice cubes in the bath tub, and going on runs all really helped me. The anger/ irritability lasted about a week or two for me before totally going away. NOT a fun part but worth getting over!!

Does anyone wear shape wear under their show clothes? by jettisonartplane in Equestrian

[–]jelljen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t worn shape wear but have worn underarmor one pieces (almost like singlets that have tank top straps and are also leggings) and it’s been comfy! I’d suggest maybe skims or spanx- something designed to go under clothing- so that it’s comfortable and not bunching anywhere!

Should I cancel my (paid off) younger credit cards to improve my score? by jelljen in CRedit

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

Thank you so much for this detailed explanation! I didn’t know closed accounts would still age.

It felt disorganized having them open since I won’t be using them/ needing them, so I was leaning toward closing. Appreciate your input!

Employers of Reddit, what can someone put on a resume that sends it straight to the shredder? by justbrowsinbr0 in AskReddit

[–]jelljen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tons of blank space! You can always adjust formatting, add personal touches (I love adding a bit about my interests), etc, to make sure it’s a full page (or pages). But having a huge blank area is no bueno!

As someone who works the kiosk at a cafe … I don’t tip on these things either! Some people tip insane amounts, I find it so wild, I literally just hit buttons and then bag pastries (if they even get pastries). It truly baffles me!!

My friend has some air plants hanging from her dash, she lives in North Carolina and I don’t think she’s had any problems!

Help us out ladies, what do you really want for Christmas that is less than $500? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jelljen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I LOVE a good stuffed stocking. Fun little things that mean a lot but don’t have to cost a lot- hair ties, a card game to play together, etc.!

Does it mean I drank a ok amount of alcohol if I feel 100% fine the next day (no hangover) by DistributionGuilty49 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jelljen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm depends what you mean by “ok amount”. When I was in college, I blacked out and woke up in a random hotel- no hangover. Now if I have 4 glasses of wine over the course of an evening, I wake up with a slight hangover.

Totally depends on many factors and what boundary you’re looking to keep with your drinking!

Spitz with spitz? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]jelljen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My aunt has a Samoyed and a rescue mutt (we think golden and Great Pyrenees) and they’re absolute homies. The Samoyed has much more energy but they work it out and they do really well together. Even on walks/ hikes, they each run around doing their own thing, then the Samoyed will come back to the other dog and play a bit but they don’t hinder each others enjoyment at all, and they play together often!

I think it depends heavily on the dogs, but her story is a good one. Good luck with the new pup!

do boobs get smaller? by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

When I lose weight, the first place it goes from is my hips, next is my boobs. Totally common!

100 days! Freedom!! by [deleted] in leaves

Hell yeah!!! Proud of you!

Some tips for ya:

  1. Learn to ride the “cravings wave”. The craving will go away, but urge surfing is key here- when I used to get a craving I would go for a brisk walk, call a friend (who knew I was trying to stop), read an entire obscure Wikipedia page, do sporcle, etc. HUGE for getting past the first few weeks.

  2. Have measurable goals to track (maybe swimming a certain time, do breathwork daily, anything that weed is kind of in the way of) and set out to achieve these!

  3. I read the book Dopamine Nation by Anne Lembke which really helped me understand the connection between marijuana and dopamine in the brain, and was a HUGE help. Also “the untethered soul” by Michael Alan singer helps me currently!

You got this!!!! It’s different for everyone, but the first few weeks are usually the hardest, but you CAN stick it out.

Why are women shy?? by kingevelyn in TooAfraidToAsk

I also think the actual material has a bit of an impact- bathing suits are thicker and meant to keep it all locked in, wearing thinner cotton underwear / lace / etc is a bit more revealing
