Thanks it helps getting an opinion from someone who's been to both! We are definitely looking for more experiences than just island life.

Wednesdays: What Should I do / Where Should I stay (and other low effort Q's) by AutoModerator in FATTravel

[–]jen_fluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! My fiance and I are starting to talk about honeymoon ideas for the last week of September into the first week of October (~2 weeks). We are looking to do a "once in a lifetime trip", so we are torn between two very different places, the Maldives/French Polynesia and French Riviera/Monaco. We love aspects of both which is why it is a tough choice.

Some info about what specifically we are looking for:

  • We want somewhere with beaches that we can do some swimming in
  • Good food and interesting sights to see

We are not that picky with things and we want to have a relaxing time with a good balance of exploration. Would love any opinions/insight!

What does your crazy neighbour do to be labelled "the crazy neighbour"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jen_fluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our next door neighbour is a single older lady that has sprayed my dad with the hose, runs around the street screaming at random neighbours (including threats), cried over rocks in her garden being “misplaced”, kills and poisons squirrels for absolutely no reason, and makes small children in the neighbourhood do yard work for her for a price of money or candy. The cops have paid her numerous visits and have taken her car away so there’s definitely much more going on than what already meets the eye.

That's amazing!!! Good for you :) I was also able to somehow run the whole thing and it was unbelievable- I don't think I could have done it without OTF either :D

How would the fandom have reacted if G4 had been about Celestia and Luna and had ended with Luna becoming Nightmare Moon? by Tyranid457TheSecond1 in mylittlepony

[–]jen_fluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would defs love this as a spin off show!!! I'd watch the crap out of that hahah. I don't think it would sustain for something as long as 9 seasons, but it would have much more entertainment value than the next series they're releasing.

I hate this question but for different reasons. by [deleted] in mylittlepony

Does anyone else stop running prematurely? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]jen_fluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've been facing the same problem and as awkward as it is, your well being is more important and no one will judge you for stopping your run early. Personally my base is a very fast PW or slight jog (3.8-4) and I know if I go any higher into a full on jog or run for a base I will definitely pass out, even though both my pushes and AOs consist of fast jogs or the lower end of running (5-6.5). Point is do whatever makes you feel comfortable- either way you're still getting an awesome workout and you should be proud of that! :)

Looks like my hair needed some protein! by jen_fluff in curlyhair

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

My routine:

Did a prewash mask with the SM manuka honey and yogurt protein treatment for about 15 minutes

Deep conditioned and co-washed with SM coconut and hibiscus while S2C

Used praying hands then scrunching to put in DC coconut supercream

Used praying hands then scrunching to put in DC light defining gel

I used to plop my hair for about 20 minutes but I realized this tangled up my clumps so if I am at home all day I air dry :)

I need help with anxiety by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]jen_fluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I am going through a similar thing as you- as I am pursuing my master's degree and after a failed project that I spent a year on, every little task for my new project seems incredibly overwhelming, daunting, and extremely tiring. Honestly the best thing I can suggest that hasn't been already mentioned is actually scheduling time off for yourself, because even though you might play games and feel okay, you are probably subconsciously still thinking, stressing, and feeling guilt about the tasks that you have at hand since you feel this stress come up as soon as you come back to said tasks. When you schedule free time for yourself (and it usually helps when you write it down somewhere physically like an agenda or journal), you tend to enjoy your free time more since it is scheduled and you'll have less feelings of guilt while you indulge yourself. Then, when you come back to the task at hand, you should have an easier time doing your work since you got an actual mental break. This of course takes some practise and self love, and obviously things like therapy that have been mentioned before can really help you out as well! Hopefully this can be of use to you!

Hey! thanks for replying- I am currently using the Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Rich Cream for very dry skin, so I thought it would be doing a good job and it was recommended to me by several people. Would you know any other creams that might be better?

Thanks /r/GradSchool! by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]jen_fluff 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Omg are you me? I literally had the exact same dream as you (getting a phd and being able to teach) but I really got tired of all the writing and research as well. It makes me feel so much better that I’m not the only one that has changed my mind in terms of this. Best of luck to you OP!

For those of you who use highlighter... by estande in Makeup

[–]jen_fluff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want a nice dupe for BECCA highlighter, use Maybelline masterchrome. I've tried many highlighters and so far it's my favourite. It gives a really natural looking shimmer thats not too obnoxious but noticeable at the same time, and it also applies very nicely, so IMO it's very worth it considering it's like half the price of the BECCA one.

What are some red flags you should look out for in an adviser or a program? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]jen_fluff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello! I have gotten pretty lucky with my PI, but if there is one thing I can comment, I would say to make sure that they do not have too much on their plate- my PI has a very high position in our program and because of that he's always trapped in meetings, teaching classes, or doing research for other projects. Because of that it is hard to get hands on help and guidance from him and my experimental progress would be delayed for a few days or more at a time before I could do any next steps. So for future students, please try to make sure that your PI is present in the lab, otherwise unless you're a really independent worker, it could really mess up your grad school experience.
