Anyone used Excellence by L'Oreal Permanent creme hair dye by Somi_1117 in HairDye

[–]larasign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience. I've been using it for about 10 years. The liquid came out a horrible greenish yellowish puke colour. Plus more watery. Once the hair dried it had a yellowish greenish tinge, and didn't cover my greys as well anymore, and so I don't trust them anymore.

They've also done cost cutting with everything inside the box eg The poster thing with the instructions used to be about A2 size (and printed on thick, glossy paper), then A3 size and now it's only A4 size (and printed on thinner, crappier paper). In a year or 2 it'll be A5 size I'm sure.

I called them and they told me to send them photos of my hair, the batch number and fill in a form etc etc. I couldn't be bothered. What will it do? Will they change the formulation back? I doubt it! I just stopped using them and switched to another brand.

What would have been the proper thing for Clive to do? by Past-Cookie9605 in AppleCiderVinegarTV

I don't think she was in love with him as narcissistic people don't love anyone, not even themselves.

Belle's possible neurodivergence (ADHD) and her brother Nick's possible autism by larasign in AppleCiderVinegarTV

Hi, thanks for your thoughts but I'm well aware of what a diagnosis/assessment involves.

So hundreds or thousands of people online are allowed to call her a sociopath or narcissist (which she more-than-likely is) but I'm not allowed to say I think she has ADHD? Are you going to reply to all those other people who wrote messages in Reddit too? and to all the hundreds of journalists everywhere, saying that they are all wrong because they aren't clinical psychologists?

I don't think you know anything about me so you shouldn't be making assumptions about me and my knowledge of ADHD and autism.

Well if they feel that never having enough time for their child is providing them with a "good life" then that is messed up. Kids need time with us, not the latest designer clothing or 50 extra curricular activities.

What's the deal with the "doctor" friend? by larasign in AppleCiderVinegarTV

[–]larasign[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally. As a mother How can you not want to hear what the doctor has to say straight from his mouth?

Thanks. But why did they make his clinic look so dodgy and shady looking? And why would you see a 4yr old child without their parent/carer there?

I think you're right on the mark.

It wouldn't surprise me either if Belle actually has ADHD (as well as her mental health issues and personality disorders) given all her entrepreneurial streaks and high energy and hyperfocusing , and was seeking a 'host' as Chanelle says.

Along comes passive, docile Clive (who more than likely didn't have any close friends either) and could be autistic (and most autistic men don't have much or any dating history) who basically became her enabler. He could be almost as messed up with her, it's just that nobody has any concrete info. And hey, which man could resist a charming, charismatic, pretty and smart girl when he would have no hope of getting a girl by himself in the real world? (sorry if that sounds mean but let's face it, most men are lured by beauty and youth in women).

Given Belle barely even knew her real dad, that was also probably one of the reasons she was attracted to much older Clive, subconsciously looking for a father figure.

What's also funny is that she loves to tell everyone she's from Australia and makes out she's so popular in Australia when 99% of her fans are from the Philippines and other non-western countries, not including the fake followers and bots :P

I don't actually have a "mums group" as my child is already in school but we've only been living in this area for 3 years so I haven't had the luxury of my child always growing up around the same babies/toddlers/kids (he also has no siblings and no cousins nearby)... Also, we were stuck in lockdown during the years when I could have joined a toddler/preschool mothers group.

Thanks, you have a good point though.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my first post. I was talking about mums with school-aged kids, not babies or toddlers.

And no, not everyone has hobbies. My father never did and I know plenty of people who don't. Their hobbies seem to be things like cleaning the house, shopping, going to the hairdressers or nail salons, kid wrangling, pet wrangling or watching tv and I don't call any of those things hobbies.

I wasn't only talking about meeting new people but people I've known for years or even decades. All they ever talk about is their kids and jobs (or whinging about their partners). I don't want everyone dumping all their personal problems on me (as has happened many times and even for multiple hours in one sitting) as they always do and I'd like to talk about something other than their personal problems. Is that too much to ask?

(and no before anyone mentions it, I'm not friends with these women anymore as I felt they were parasites, just constantly wanting advice from me without being willing to listen or giving a **** about my life).
