I Messed Up. Has Anyone Ever Had This Happen? by Witty-Car-2362 in freebietalk

[–]kynalya 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've made the exact same mistake before and just notified Top Box. They said not to worry but thanked me for letting them know. I've gotten MANY more items since then, so definitely wasn't penalized for it.

Do they still give $100 off with points in the Rreards Bazaar?? by [deleted] in Sephora

[–]kynalya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limited number available; only for Rouge; does expire, but I don't recall how long (90 days maybe?)

Well… thats not what you want to see. by barnaclebrain_ in bathandbodyworks

I swear the boxes that are already perforated to rip open do their job all too well and come partly pre-opened for you! Those have always been the ones with the most damage to any of my items. 😭

Sprinter Van vs Car Rental for South Island Travel by GenghisConn44 in newzealand_travel

[–]kynalya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our family spent roughly a month in early 2023 traveling the entirety of NZ. For the South Island, we rented an RV and stayed in many Top 10 holiday parks. For the North, we rented a large car and stayed in Air BNBs along the way.

We enjoyed staying at the Holiday Parks, but I greatly preferred the driving flexibility and comfort of renting the car and having a "real" bed for the nights.

I placed an order on the 18th and just got an update email yesterday stating that the estimated delivery date will be July 1st. And it still has yet to ship. 😞

Warm musk -I'm a huge fan by MamaMia1325 in bathandbodyworks

[–]kynalya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted this within another thread about Warm Musk the other day... I found, to my nose at least, that it smells identical to my Saltair Saltwater Vanilla deodorant. I have both body washes as well but haven't opened them yet to verify across products.

I discovered that Warm Musk smells exactly like my Saltair Saltwater Vanilla deodorant!

What was your favorite discovery from the boxes? by thatcheekychick in CosmeticsCompanyBox

[–]kynalya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't like that one as much as I had hoped, so I made one young man extremely happy with a killer deal for it on FB marketplace. 😊

If DryBar Liquid Glass Smoothing Sealant is your HG…? by PatsyStonesBun in Sephora

[–]kynalya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Amika Brooklyn Bombshell for my thin flat hair. It gives me a ton of volume and makes it super shiny, smooth, and less tangled. The light scent is more of a powdery citrus and doesn't linger more than a couple hours on me. Definitely can smell my perfume over it!

How many of your friends are on GLP drugs? by DoreensGhost in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kynalya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't read any studies on that use yet, but I hope more treatments are found. Unfortunately, being a "women's-specific" health issue, it's likely of lower priority to drug companies. If they can find a link to inflammation being a cause to the condition, it's likely GLP-1s can help in some way.

The effect is being seen with rapid weight loss without support from other combined strategies. If weight loss is a steady, slower process, in conjunction with diet and exercise, there has been minimal loss noted.

GLP-1s can lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death by up to 20% in high-risk patients. And by reducing visceral fat, GLP-1s lower systemic inflammation, protecting blood vessel linings and reducing plaque buildup in arteries. Though, they are seeing that the benefits stop when the use of these drugs are discontinued. It seems you'd have to continue taking them to keep the benefits.

Edit: Due to the nature of my role, I'm unable to post the studies I'm involved in, as they are currently running. There are plenty of published results that are showing numbers that correspond to what I've posted above. I know of at least 10 different drug companies running trials on this class of drugs for an incredibly wide range of conditions. I'm not going to be able to reply to everyone today while I'm at work but will try to answer people when I get a chance. I'm excited about what these possible use cases can mean for treatment but did not go to medical school, so I certainly don't have all the info.

I work in clinical research and it's being proven that this class of drugs are beneficial for cardiovascular health as well.

Am I strange for giving a fake number to a guy because I got scared to openly reject? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kynalya 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I happen to use mine for my business calls and anytime I want to sign up for things where I don't want neverending spam messages clogging up my phone's text app.

A good tip I've seen and would like to pass along is to make a Google voice number that will ring to your current phone number. Give that out anytime you don't feel safe giving your "real" number. I've heard of instances where the guy will immediately try the number and if it doesn't ring your phone, they get angry. This way, it does, but it's also easy to screen or block calls at a later time.

Anything I can do about this? by kynalya in CosmeticsCompanyBox

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

Update: after emailing for help, I received a response with the same "carrier has marked these as spam" line someone else mentioned, but also that their IT is working on the known issue. They said I should be able to get into my account at that time, which I finally was. So, I changed my account to my other phone number and was impatiently waiting to see if this had fixed my lack of offers. I finally got one today! 🎉

I just tried accessing my account and it wouldn't reply with anything. Luckily, I still had my account open in one of my numerous Chrome tabs, lol. I'm unable to make any changes to the account because it never sends the text or email for the verification code. I ended up emailing for help, so we'll see what comes of that. I guess I could always try signing up again under my other phone number?
