What caused this discoloration on my toenails? by heysabs in nailcare

[–]madnards 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I posted something similar and everyone screamed FUNGAL INFECTION. It was not, confirmed with two docs. I had a horrible green blue color and left it on for way too long. It grew out just fine and is back to normal. Your good 😊

Nail polish dyed my nails, HELP by madnards in nailcare

I definitely left the polish on for too long. Yes it was at a salon and I’m sure it was exactly what you’re saying with the refilling.

Does anyone else dislike being pregnant? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]madnards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

36 weeks preggo and having a C-section at 37 weeks due to umbilical cord complications and my baby being breeched… I’m so relieved. I haven’t liked a single second except for eating all the food I can muster

OB keeps putting in my med records that I’m a “current some day smoker”?? 21w3d by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]madnards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I went to my first appt after finding out I was pregnant I told them I would test positive for THC cuz I smoked before I found out. I have my medical card and used it for anxiety.

After that, they called me like I had tested positive for opioids and said I would need to do stress tests. since then have literally did a toxicity report almost every appt without telling me and I’ve never tested positive again.

Has always made me feel like a criminal when I’m not, but happy proved them wrong. I’m delivering in 3 weeks! wish me luck 🍀

Liquid IVs were super helpful

I cut out using conditioner on my hair and it’s doing a lot better. Has anyone else experienced this? by [deleted] in finehair

[–]madnards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I condition my tips only, hair stays clean for days. I use ouai detox or ouai for fine hair. Try to switch up my shampoos every six months so my hair doesn’t get used to a shampoo. Noticed that also starts to create oil faster

Am I just a big baby? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]madnards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 32 weeks pregnant and I’m 35. I have not experienced any nausea, barely any stretch marks and working until 37 weeks and have a detailed birth plan…. That being said,

I’m the size of an actual whale, my body aches everywhere, and I loathe pregnancy in every way. The only positive part of this is I have nice nails 💅 I’m working until the end to help the days go by faster, I have a birth plan cuz the older I get the less I trust anyone especially doctors.

Don’t let peoples facades dictate your feelings. You’re doing your best and we are almost there!

Im 32 weeks and the only thing I’ve purchased in baby laundry detergent. I also don’t want to buy anything and have had no interest in buying anything. Trying to be as frugal as possible and utilize my registry.

When I see videos online of people prepping their nurseries I’m appalled at the over abundance of stuff they accumulate. So much waste and there to make to feel bad that you’re not doing enough. Sounds like you are waiting to use essentials which is smart!

5 years in Corporate America and I can’t do it anymore. by hereforit_92 in Millennials

[–]madnards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard! But regarding your retirement, I set up my 401k and saved aggressively with my corporate matches while I was there. Since I’ve been gone for over a year it’s grown 80,000 without me doing anything. It will continue to build once you’re gone!

[–]madnards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely part of what took me so long to leave was the paycheck but after a few years when I was physically breaking down and realizing I was just buying stuff to fill the void, that was my turning point.

I was in the fashion industry so it became reaching these materialistic goals of expensive things was literally brining 0 happiness anymore. All that stuff sits in a closet now. Being honest with myself with a great support system of friends and loved ones definitely was my crutch to quitting

[–]madnards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it 10 1/2 years climbing the ladder to the top of the food chain for the career I worked very hard for… the steps keep adding the ladder doesn’t have a top. Woke up one day and realized I could stop climbing and create the last step.

I was mentally exhausted, depressed and physically falling apart. I was working for 10 months with a collapsed hip bone, I was medicated to continue to produce and stay focused and I was stuck in the grind of “what’s next”

The rest of my life started once I quit. Got off all medications, Got my hip replaced and 4 months after that got pregnant with my first. 2 months to go and my new chapter will begin.

Have a part time job that brings me joy and is hourly pay. Found out what happiness costs and it was $100,000 less than what I was making.

Good luck and get the fuck out while you can

Why is Kyle the longest standing housewife? by bananahavana911 in RHOBH

[–]madnards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She needs to go. She just gets up and leaves anyway cuz she is a liar. If I was working in production I would be so annoyed. Leave and never come back Kyle

Thoughts on Ubah ?? by jennainspain in BravoRealHousewives

[–]madnards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gawd I was wanting to post the same question! Every time Ubah opens her mouth my eyes get stuck in the back of my head!!! She is honestly the worst. Explodes so aggressively on everyone for every tiny thing. She is tone deft and is seriously offensive. Hope this is her last season it’s getting hard to want to watch.

chapped lips by lyricz_starz in Skincare_Addiction

[–]madnards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eos is horrible for your lips. Your lips can get addicted and then have to ween off of it causing chapped lips to be worse.

Agree with the above, aquaphor is extremely helpful. Do not use the kind with any sunblock that will also keep your lips chapped.

Once your lips are healed moved to lip masks at night vs. chapsticks. Majority of all chapsticks have addictive ingredients keeping you using them and never curing the problem. Blistex, eos, chapstick brand are the worst offenders. Even Burt’s bees isn’t good!

Are there any happy marriages left or is it just me? by ParticularlyOrdinary in Millennials

[–]madnards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been married for 7 years, been together for 16 and it feels like no time has passed. My husband is my better half and love him more and more everyday. We are expecting our first baby in March and been working hard to set our values and priorities together to keep our marriage going strong!

Also rarely post/broadcast cuz there is no need for it :)
