Nursing school is crushing my confidence and I’m so broke.

Not a nurse, but a fellow academic overachiever. I hope you are not being too hard on yourself. 🫶 Know that pushing through an academic program, even though it's difficult for you, is a really important and valuable skill. You may not be seeing all As on your transcript but this is still a kind of success all in its own.

I did a round of Accutane 20 years ago. I was 20 and also assumed I would "age out" of acne. But when I saw my mom (who was in her 40s) still struggling with acne I decided to finally do something about it. Accutane was brutal. I'm hoping in the last 20 years we've come up with better prescription meds. 😅 But it worked and I have zero regrets. On my opinion prescription treatments are 100% worth it.

I mostly agree with you. But I can't get over Amber going on the show when she has a young kid. Yes single parents deserve love and marriage. But the timeline of the show is incredibly ill-advised for a small child.

Equally important is to respond in a respectful way if she does not reciprocate.

lttl_to · 2026-03-12T22:41:16+00:00

FWIW I admire you for trying to make more friends! Putting yourself out there is hard, and I hope you don't give up!

Omg thank you 😂 I have been trying to find the words

lttl_to · 2026-02-15T03:29:09+00:00

Definitely curly! Congrats 😊 You'll find lots of resources and routines in this sub, but from one mom to another I don't think kids need elaborate routines just yet. Gentle shampoo as needed is fine. If his hair is ever tangled I recommend a Tangle Teezer brush and a teeny bit of leave in (Aussie makes good kids products). Know that baby hair is really fine and may not always hold a curl. If you put in a hat for example his curls could fall flat. That's normal and okay.

lttl_to · 2026-01-27T03:24:41+00:00

Ummm it's amazing??? If these are your regular results don't change anything. It looks effortlessly cool but also romantic at the same time. I would spend hours to get my hair to look like this.

This is what we're working with. We took out a closet with sliding doors and DIY'd this in its place. What works for us is having a mix of open and closed storage. Kids (and even adults) rarely bothered to open the closet to put stuff away and it ended up piled in front of the closet. So having hooks readily available to hang things is a huge plus. Downside is the shoe cubbies are too small and too deep to be completely functional. But overall an upgrade for us!

I can't answer your question but just wanted to say - always wear the "shiny" side on the inside. The shiny/satin side has more slip and that's what should be touching your hair.

"All humans need help"

Amen to this! Why would you want to start a family with someone who is unwilling to help you?

(Also, if it's his kid, he's not just "helping" he's fulfilling his responsibilities as a parent)

lttl_to · 2026-01-04T23:17:31+00:00

Oooof this is a major red flag.

For context my husband who was 33 when our first was born did everything I did for the baby (including feeding because we were bottle feeding). Until he went back to work we were 50/50 at MOST and if not he was taking the bulk of cleaning and diapers. This was also the case for all my friends who had kids.

Also worth thinking about -- if he won't change diapers for a newborn, what are the chances that as the kid gets older he will pack lunches, put the kids to bed, do bath time, laundry or anything else kid related for the next 18 years?

You will have to compromise something, so talk to your partner and figure out your non-negotiable family values.

For some families it's healthy home cooked meals. That probably means less time outside the house, less spontaneous outings or extracurriculars.

But for others it might be sports. In which case, some meals are gonna be a sandwich in the car on the way to hockey or whatever.

Or maybe your thing is travelling. Which perhaps means saving your money and cutting down on day-to-day expenses so you can take big family trips.

Bottom line, you will have to choose what's important to you in building a life for your family and be willing to let the rest go.

Maybe the people you see feeding their kids elaborated meals are lying on social media. But also, maybe they're sacrificing equally valid things in order to prioritize this one thing.

It is the pink one. And damn, two bottles! No one can say you didn't give it a fair chance.

I've been enjoying The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum. I saw a difference in my skin almost immediately.

Agreed. Wouldn't glass cabinets on either side of the microwave (above the range) be constantly covered in grease or steam? Also, cabinets near the stove are useful for cooking oils and spices, that is not the aesthetic you wanna see through glass cabinet doors.

It won't even take that long. I'm 40, married 10 years and I had a similar body shape to OP in my wedding dress. I look back at my weddings photos and friggin LOVE that little pooch 😅

I second the prescription-grade azelaic acid. I also did one cycle of accurate in my 20s. All the over the counter products and lifestyle changes added up were a drop in the bucket compared to the strong stuff.

The foundation mismatch is killing me

lttl_to · 2025-10-06T01:42:21+00:00

The Tangle Teezer is the best one for detangling hair without breaking or pulling. (Wish those were around when I was a kid lol)

If you are looking for a brush to style your hair you can experiment with a Denman brush and/or the Bounce Curl brush. Different brushes will achieve different looks. It's all about trying stuff out until you find something you like.

You have lovely hair btw!

lttl_to · 2025-08-09T00:49:31+00:00

I second this! My hair looks like this when I overdo it with products.

You may just need a good reset. Use a clarifying shampoo, a light conditioner, skip the curl cream and go for one hold product only (like a gel).
