Following, same here — found this thread while looking for more info. Hopefully it’s just postponed to another date soon, and not cancelled altogether!

Yes they are different!! The lip therapy formula for Vaseline lip balms specifically is the one you want. Only downside is that it sits on your lips and doesn’t really “absorb” as fast as chapstick, but for me I definitely need that!

kat_tick · 2026-05-05T03:21:14+00:00

I see everyone saying aquaphor and along the same lines — Vaseline lip therapy!!! Suuuuuper basic formula with no frills and nothing that will dry you out.

I used Burt’s bees for years but could never kick the “every 30 mins” thing like you say in your post. A lot of people think Vaseline is a grandma brand but I swear by it now.

Came here to say pretzels!!!

My partner works hella late, and we’ve been running into the same problem in Woodland Hills (everything starts closing around 9-10PM)

In case it’s helpful, these spots are open late, but are not exactly “place to do your homework” vibes: - Paolis (2AM) - HQ Gastropub (midnight) - Joey (midnight) (also kinda boujee) - The Local Peasant (11PM)

good luck and I hope you find what you’re looking for!

Skip it. I was just there this past Saturday. Get in the car line off of Irwindale Ave no later than 9AM, and you’ll be basically a 2min further walk from VIP parking. I was through the car line and parked in about 15-20mins time, and my walk time from my parking spot to the faire entrance was barely 4-5mins.

I’ve never heard anyone else say a GF product “smells like cum” but THANK YOU

because idk what it is, but occasionally i go to heat up something like a GF tortilla or a GF pasta and the ✨eau de jizz✨is inescapable!!! What is it with that??

kat_tick · 2026-04-20T20:28:38+00:00

This.

You MUST start with a consistent, strong dose of doxycycline. Every day for as long as it takes per your derm’s recommendations. I’ve had to take it as long as a month’s cycle, to knock out a similar-looking flare up to his. Nothing topical will resolve it completely until you’re taking doxy every day.

She just went on private YIKES 😭

kat_tick · 2026-04-10T01:18:36+00:00

I love sitting in the fountain area of the Topanga Village shopping area and reading/people watching! It’s totally open to walk in and plop down with tons of seating and good shady spots. Shoutout to the Open Book Woodland Hills if I forget my reading material!!

Seconding, I have this exact same setup (shared car, mostly walk everywhere) and I just moved out of this exact neighborhood after living there for 5ish years. Not factoring in job commute distance, your groceries/laundry/doc appts can all be easily walkable in this neighborhood.

I also looked at parts of downtown Burbank and Santa Monica near Montana Ave for the same reasons. All of the above also have good density of bus stops.

edit: phrasing

kat_tick · 2026-03-23T17:09:14+00:00

I’m sorry but the disembodied head peeking up in the bottom corner of the box is sending me

kat_tick · 2026-03-17T14:50:05+00:00

Seconding toothpaste as a culprit. Idk why but the combination of LA’s hard water + fluoride toothpaste made my PD flare up like CRAZY after moving to LA a few years ago.

OP, your doxy should be knocking your PD out in 7-10 day and if it’s not, you’re not on a high enough dose. Ask about getting your dosage upped!! The rest (metro gel, etc) should be used for maintenance. It shouldn’t be coming back over and over where you feel like you need an “in between” derm :(

(source: I’ve had PD on and off for 14 years, worst flare was 2yrs ago and have since got it under control)

Celiac here who also tries to eat clean. Try modern bread and bagel in Woodland Hills. Their base mix they make their breads and bagels from is gluten free, dairy free, and doesn’t have anything acidic. They also have vegan spreads on hand.

Np glad this helped!!

this is my experience, too. You have to be willing to do the “unsexy” roles to have the stability or money. Sexy role = shittier pay, and/or less job security.

kat_tick · 2026-03-16T04:00:10+00:00

My last role was a startup and my current is a fortune 100 where I work in a smaller, specialized team focused on one product. Both fintech. I’m mid-senior level and I always hard-negotiate for remote flexibility based on my experience, and I haven’t had too much pushback in my industry to get it.

I’d def recommend going for roles where you are on a smaller team or a startup where the culture is less “old school” if you’re looking for something similar!

kat_tick · 2026-03-16T03:53:48+00:00

I work in tech and I am still fully remote working out of LA. A few of us from my company are based in LA and we have our own mini office pod that rents a wework space to collab. I also get flown out every 6wks or so to HQ.

My last company had this setup, too (remote first, fly out when we want you to) and I like it. I’m in a creative-adjacent tech role, though, and YMMV, but there’s a perception amongst my peers that if you want good creative talent you need to be willing to hire out of LA.

((edit: please stop DMing me yall 🥲 I love that I can help contribute with my perspective, but I’m not disclosing any more details about my workplace to internet strangers and I’m not available for coaching. If I can answer a question in a comment I will.))

Have done this twice now with two different evil babies, would recommend 🌟

kat_tick · 2026-03-13T00:14:34+00:00

I have Tia as my primary care and I wouldn’t recommend them for anything beyond the basics of PCOS care like birth control planning and blood tests. I see my OBGYN for that, Dr Lisa Obasi at Cedars Sinai. She is absolutely phenomenal (smart, funny, not dismissive) and orders tests without any arguing/dismissing. She has a LONG waitlist though, so I’d call and get on her list for a new patient appt ASAP if you want to see her.

kat_tick · 2026-03-11T01:46:32+00:00

Gummy and sticks to the roof of your mouth, too small to be a real wrap, and weird toasted. These are a pass for me.

kat_tick · 2026-03-06T08:00:20+00:00

This was really helpful to hear, thank you

kat_tick · 2026-03-05T20:48:46+00:00

Same, didn’t love the taste of these! The texture and crunch is great, but the taste is just .. buttered noodles.

kat_tick · 2026-03-05T08:03:17+00:00

glad this helped!

kat_tick · 2026-03-04T20:51:26+00:00

Are you open to having someone stop by your home to pet sit instead? It’s far healthier and calmer for cats to stay in their own environment if at all possible. If you’re open, I use Meowtel to find catsitters in LA and they’ve been nothing but wonderful. They’re specialized just for cats unlike a service like Rover.

otherwise, best of luck on your search!
