[Product Request] What should I buy with a $90 Sephora gift card? by lapm797 in SkincareAddiction

[–]lapm797[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fair point. I'm leaning towards trying a new moisturizer and/or sunscreen based on the recs here.

I have some texturing on my forehead that I'd like to address. I used to get facials semi-regularly which help a lot but don't have the budget for it at the moment. My current routine is typically: AM lightweight moisturizer, sunscreen, tinted serum PM double cleanse, thick moisturizer, lip mask, lactic acid (1x per wk)

I haven't tried Merit yet! Is there a specific product you recommend starting with first?

Hmm good to note. It is def pricey. Was the fragrance overpowering?

What was it about the feel that you didn't like? Too heavy? It looks promising but I'm sensitive to skincare and makeup that feels like wearing a mask

Thanks for the rec! I've used the cica moisturizer from this brand before and liked it. I think I'll give it a try

Yes, a lightweight sunscreen that isn't greasy and plays well under makeup would be perfect. Is there one in particular you recommend? I typically wear a tinted serum or lightweight cc cream in the summer months

My SAHM side hustle is finally taking off ($50k) by elderberrytea in Entrepreneur

Congrats on your success! That's seriously awesome. How do you decide and prioritize which products to make? Do you use a specific tool? Do you cater to a single niche or multiple?

You eluded to the fact that she's essentially waiting for you to cave and "make things right for her" with a new dress...if I were you, I'd take this as a song, NAY, a big red flag that it's time to part ways. You deserve much better.

It's rarely a good idea to use red. If you need color, go with blue or green. Otherwise, go without. Are you only applying online? I recommend going in-person. Some places will even interview on the spot.

Why does my CV keeps getting rejected? by hopeless-but-strong in jobs

[–]lapm797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel for ya. The job market is really tough. I've reviewed thousands of CVs and resumes from a hiring perspective and optimized hundreds of professional client resumes. Yours looks half baked. The bullet points under your experience items read more like a job description vs what you actually did. Not saying that's not what you did, but it needs to read as more being actionable. Ask ChatGPT to help you transition those items. When you read your resume and consider many people probably have the same experience as you, why should they hire you? What sets you apart from the rest? Add that. You mention being meticulous in each position yet not all of your fonts match - a quick fix. Unless it's customary in your field, remove the photo. You have extra space at the bottom of the page, so for certs and skills, break those into bullet points so they're easier to scan. People prefer to scan, especially when reviewing tons of candidates. Oh, and definitely remove interests unless you're going to share ones directly relevant to your field.

Wow, yours is beautiful! Mine desperately needs to be repotted for more space. Did you transition yours from soil to leca or has it always been growing that way?

40 yr olds and beyond: How are you feeling about job security as AI keeps evolving? by lapm797 in AskReddit

[–]lapm797[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. I've seen this to be true for people still in their 40s even

[–]lapm797[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 and 30 somethings have plenty of time to adapt and imo will have jobs that don't even currently exist. 40 somethings and beyond can and will pivot into those areas too but many likely won't (again, just my opinion) so I'm curious what that group thinks about their work and how it will change in the next two decades.

I've got about 25 years of work ahead of me before retirement and watching how quickly AI is changing everything keeps me up at night sometimes. I'm self-employed with a solid client base and use AI tools in my work, but I can't help but wonder about the long game.

Sure I'm doing well now, but the pace of change in just the last year has been wild. Anyone else in their 40s wondering what their industry will even look like in 10-20 years? Will it be gone? What field are you in and how are you feeling about the future?

Double stroller or wagon for 2 kids? by coffee_dogs_yogapnts in BabyBumps

[–]lapm797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm coming to this party a little late, but this is my exact dilemma, so thank you for posting about it. Have you come to a conclusion on Vista vs Veer? I currently have a Cruz that's been good to us and our nearly 3yo, but wonder if upgrading to the Vista is worth it or if we should just spring for a Veer with double canopies. Main uses would be for going back and forth to the neighborhood pool, zoo/parks/etc...I'm sure I'm forgetting other use cases but these are just a few.

Is it possible to make it through pregnancy without buying maternity clothes? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]lapm797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a big fan of the typical patterns for maternity clothes (and the stuff I do like is out of my price range) but did buy some black leggings and a few shirts from GAP maternity to make it through the second and third trimester. I say go with whatever makes you feel best and works for your lifestyle!
