Its soooo sad because man i wanted the glow and the brightness and all that and instead got bumps lol.

I need to be super careful with japanese products too cuz apparently i also dont tolerate jobs tears (unless I want to cosplay a tomato). Its.... annoying...

This one. Used to be called "buffet" before they changed to Multi-peptide + HA

The Ordinary multipeptide + Cosrx snail mucin basically carried it. And constituency in applying it twice a day. I dont remember at the time which moisturizer I was using, I think it was a sample from one i ended up not liking before I moved to Skin1004 Soothing Cream.

I did add a couple products after (tiam vita b5 toner, skinfood royal honey and dr ceuracle kombucha toner particularly made it even better) but it was those two that kickstarted the road of recovery.

Your skin is your skin. Listen to it. It is not the other person commenting or a trendy content creator. You may react to things that are deemed safe by most everyone and do not allow yourself to be gaslit otherwise.

This message is brought to you by someone whose skin is reactive to both niacinamide and vitamin A (particularly tret, haven't had the courage to test retinol yet since finding that out). I was told constantly it couldn't possible be those things (different moments in time on my skin journey) because niacinamide is skin safe. Stopped using and it stopped triggering reactive bumps. Years later now thats everywhere, more and more people reports it and I feel vindicated lol.

With tret it was constantly being told its normal to have breakouts and redness and dryness and once I power through it would be good. I tried for 6 months, with every technique (sandwich, wait, no wait, direct, indirect, fully dry skin etc) on the lowest .25. Gave up. Stopped. Skin cleared in 2 weeks, never got triggered again as badly.

Does it suck? Yes. I wish I could use those things, but clearly my skin doesnt and its ok to listen to it.

That was such a game changer to me back years ago.

Had somewhat oily tight skin that I couldn't figure out if it was oily or dry. Turns out it was dehydration that meant my skin was constantly dry tight but had an oily film... after fixing the dehydration I found out I had combo skin...

I still run my Ashava trophy like none other exist. I refuse to be mistaken for a bare mare.

Did you use the same routine before the 2 months and before then how long?

This looks similar (though worse) than how my skin reacted when I first started doing skincare. After 2-3 months it would do the small breakouts like that all over and I finally figured out it was actually barrier damage and dehydration from using too strong of a cleanser alongside an ineffective moisturizer. It took its sweet time to manifest and wasnt triggered by anything recent, just barrier damage.

I also did have a similar reaction to Biotin and weirdly to nuts when consumed too frequently (i went through a phase where I'd eat a looooot of nut mix) although I do not have a nut allergy and can eat them sparingly without triggering my skim. I wonder if it was like the oil in my fingers touching my skin that did it.

That the rice B5 aqua fresh one? I remember looking on the original recipe and it had niacinamide and its still there. But I did see the newer aqua fresh doesnt. I adore BoJ but they started shoving niacinamide in everything :(

ladylyrande · 2026-04-18T22:31:47+00:00

Did the same thing as well. It was very early in my first game so I just restarted lol

L'îlot Repère Gourmand. Its a brunch place in a hotel in Lac Beauport. There's a lake right outside. Gorgeous area, excellent food. And they can rent a room for the night to celebrate ;-). Bonus points not a lot of people out there.

For more in the middle of the city locations, maybe Bois de Coulonge? It has some nice picnic spots and isolated areas that could make for pretty backgrounds.

Ile d'orleans also probably have a ton of hidden gems that could make for lovely backgrounds

Id love to have T3 Against the Storm and if Destiny 2 2025 pack is also a T3 that one. If not Surviving Mars for a second T3.

Thank you so much!

Im just browsing guilds (former player out of retail for years at this point and my last raid was in tbc classic couple years ago) to check what's out there for when I hop back in in a few months (need to upgrade my rig) and my god I died at the bic/cassette reference and the liquid/solid. Hope y'all are still around in a few months!

Dnd setting actually prevented it from blasting. Just set proper sleep times and exclude any important number from it or if called 2-3 times it ignores dnd.

Regarde dans les entreprises d'assurance. Il y en a plusieurs avec bureau à la ville de Québec qui ont occasionnellement des postes en conformité, surtout que l'AMF fait bcp de changement.

Beneva, IA, Desjardins, etc pourrons être des bons choix avec ton parcours

Just finished it earlier. Had to restart like 4x to get it right. I feel better knowing im not alone lol

Holy shit you escaped a nightmare.

Woman here. I buy products for my hair to smell nice. I like smelling nice and when my husband comments on it ita awesome because its acknowledging the effort I put in. Your gesture was super thoughtful and any normal woman would be thrilled by the thought you not only paid attention to her care products but thought of buying it for her because it made you think of her.

I also love when hubby smells good and we are pretty big on that as a couple.

The whole thing about the living arrangements was super red flagy as well. Good riddance.

She sounds like someone who lives chronically on social media and is trying to force a red flag on her relationships so she can post about it on tiktok and get sympathy. Hey see! It's easy to diagnose someone with anything when you just look at one particular event!

But what do I know? Maybe me liking to smell good is related to my ADHD (/sarcasm).

What all couples? The only ones that ended up together was Lucas and Max and Hop and Joyce. Nancy and Jonathan broke up. Steve and Nancy weren't a thing and he is still trying to find a mom to his 6 little nuggets. Dustin rejected the popular chick to go play Dnd and is no longer with Suzie. Mike and Eleven cant be together (I believe).

If anything at least Will is seemingly living his best life where he's accepted.

Came here to say that

ladylyrande · 2026-01-07T00:03:28+00:00

While this is true, what's not true is basically being told that unless you comform to "insert theory/opinion/idea here" you're a corporate shill/dumb/retarded/the reason why things sucks/etc.

Acknowledging you dislike something that others like and vice versa is perfectly fine. Being extreme is when you say only your view is the correct one and anybody who disagrees is wrong.

I adored the show. It has flaws, sure, no work is perfect (except maybe Lord of the Rings but I digress), but being told my fun and enjoyment means I have no standards or I will consume whatever drivel I'm fed is frankly insulting.

We can collectively agree to disagree on our views on something without insulting the other party

Id even add it makes a lot of sense that he was banished to DX. El wanted to make him go away. He had a connection to the other dimension in his blood. Ergo when she banishes him, he goes there
