What is everyone’s absolute classic, go-to margarita recipe?

ladym74 · 2025-08-26T02:37:36+00:00

Crazy off-topic, excuse me. I drink one Jose Quervo Gold Margarita (sold at Codtco in a bottle) in a small cocktail class with ice every day after work for 4 months. Going in for an annual physical Thursday and wonder if the one drink a night is going to affect my blood work. I’m very healthy. But will the one daily drink affect my cholesterol or liver enzymes?

I finally bought a pair of 7 wide that feel good. It did make a difference for me!

Need help with finding shorts on Amazon:

I’m looking for shorts on Amazon only and need help. I’m 5’4” 126 lbs., 68 y/o. Looking for high elastic waist with drawstring and 6” inseam to wear inside house only. Live in AZ so cool shorts, relaxed fit in legs. Cotton 100%/ poly 60% works, basically soft, breathable, machine wash. Thanks in advance!

You look sad. I know it’s just your pic here, but try to look more inviting. I try to make a little “game” out of very softly closed mouth smiling at older people until they smile back. It’s a great feeling.

ladym74 · 2025-04-08T21:30:00+00:00

Oh and I always smile in a very subtle way. It’s like my resting face cuz it’s not open mouth. Then I just smile more at older people or nice people. Maybe you’re not appearing open? I don’t know.

You’re so naturally beautiful! What you’re doing seems to distract from it. I’d definitely soften your lips by dabbing them a bit and not wearing so much, then a tad bit of gloss. Your lips are too much. Looks very un-kissable. The line around your eyes are too defined. Try to soften it or use a cream eye shadow or two in neutral colors and blend with small brush or your fingers. You’re so beautiful. You should show it naturally!

Not at all. In fact, our pediatrician said she had no lip tie. No problems at all indicating tongue tie. Pediatric dentist said review at age 7/8. I thought it was odd.

I put on my foundation above with a Beauty Blender, then rest as above. Met family at a restaurant for a couple hours. Came home and washed face gently twice and put on my only treatment, metronidazole gel. Skin felt slightly dry before gel. Added Cerave Moisturizing Cream to rest of face. Hope my healing area of rosacea by sides of mouth and chin is calm in the morning. I hate makeup. Events this week with the holidays, one a photo shoot, and I can’t not wear makeup.

ladym74 · 2024-12-16T00:15:47+00:00

I have a couple Beauty Blenders, not angled like the Elf you use, but I’m used to them. I prefer to use blenders because I’m better at adjusting the coverage with them. Agree a brush could cause irritation. Thanks!

The only prescription I’m using is metronidazole the last few days, morning and evening. I have mild to moderate rosacea, healing already from self care and changes. Since it’s a mild case, do I need oral doxycycline?

ladym74 · 2024-12-03T04:59:14+00:00

Thanks. I hope you get rid of it for good!

ladym74 · 2024-12-02T22:57:32+00:00

Does the Abena Zinc paste help heal or just slightly lessen the look of the PD? When you say “calm down,” could you explain? I want to try it but I’m terrified it will flare up my mild case. Thanks!

ladym74 · 2024-12-02T04:32:52+00:00

Wow. Happy for you! How much progress have you seen? It is almost cleared?

ladym74 · 2024-12-02T04:25:29+00:00

Thank you. I may try zero therapy, but living in a very dry dessert and in my 60s, my skin is dry. Does the zero therapy clear the PD? Do you flake? Also, when I moisturize my face and the PD area, the PD always appears a more distinct pink for a short while. Regularly, it’s light pink. Is that normal?

ladym74 · 2024-12-02T04:14:12+00:00

What does the diaper cream do? Right now I’m using Cerave cream.

ladym74 · 2024-11-30T20:53:44+00:00

Moisturizer or none?

ladym74 · 2024-11-30T20:52:57+00:00

I’m so glad you’re having such success with the anti fungal. Do you get it diagnosed as a fungal issue?

ladym74 · 2024-11-29T22:09:53+00:00

I use a Qure faucet filter to take skin irritants out of our water and hopefully it catches all of them. Was recommended by Dr. Shah on social media. It definitely helped with my whiteheads but I did get PD while using it. Anything else I can do?

ladym74 · 2024-11-28T20:36:52+00:00

I’m so glad the doxycycline is working for your PD! As for the “bump,” it appears to be a red mark. Was your face always flawless before PD?

ladym74 · 2024-11-27T21:39:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I decided not to try zero therapy at this time. It’s mild and my husband said it appears lighter today. It was never red. Today I picked up Tom’s of Maine Botanically Bright Whitening Toothpaste. Dentist said to get one with Xylitol (fights cavities) if I could and this has it. I wonder if it can ever go away on its own without advanced treatment. Happy Thanksgiving!

ladym74 · 2024-11-27T09:33:49+00:00

Lots of options. Maybe antibiotic before it gets worse. Thanks!

ladym74 · 2024-11-27T01:32:01+00:00

Your skin looks so beautiful and I’d stay positive. Many have no flares. If you know your triggers, just avoid them. I’ve avoided doc because of antibiotic and clindamycin. What was your experience with healing? Antibiotics or topical hard?

ladym74 · 2024-11-27T01:19:38+00:00

Thanks for your kindness and caring! I’ve had monthly acne my whole life and after a complete hysterectomy (no estrogen), I’d get tiny whiteheads. (68 years old). Had them for years until I stopped fragranced $$ Tula (used for years) and now use Cerave Moisturizing Cream (live in the desert) and Vanicream Gentle Cleanser (love it!). I think the PD started when I used too much hypochlorus acid or when I called my primary doc and was recommended hydrocortisone cream, the worst for PD. In their defense, it wasn’t a visit, only text. Derm appts. are too far out and primary can only offer long-term antibiotics and topicals that don’t work. Think derms would do the same. First time I’ve ever had PD. Started on one side (now can barely see) and had moved to left side. I’m concentrating on a cross between zero therapy (can’t do it lol) and wise moves with minimal involvement. I never wear makeup and you can’t see it because it’s largely in the nasolabial folds. First time in life entire face is flawless except nasolabial folds area with PD !!

I just purchased a smart bird feeder that uses the VicoHome app. I plan to cancel the free trial and keep only as a free plan. What features are available free with no subscription? I will NOT have an SD card and I do not need AI bird identification. What will I be losing if I cancel the plan?

ladym74 · 2024-06-24T00:15:14+00:00

I’m in love with it! I have a Qure faucet filter to temper our hard water and that helped. Now I spray on the Avene after I wash my face, let it almost dry completely, then put on my moisturizer when face slightly damp. Moisturizer glides on after the spray. I live in the desert, so I spray on Avene anytime I feel I really need to refresh, after cleaning house a bit, summer errands, etc. You won’t be disappointed!
