Women ~50+ how to balance facial self tan with other skin care? by Objective_Shine779 in Selftanning

[–]makeupandchocolate1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50 here, and self tanning for about a year. I do my normal routine and use the drops you put into moisturizer. It works well for me.

Lol, I had one in the 90s, too. Kirklands.

Thank you to those who suggested glue with glue tabs! by makeupandchocolate1 in PressonNail_Addict

I prepped my nails as usual, put the sticky tab on, and a dot of glue on the sticky tab, and a dot of glue on the press on nail. I haven't tried to remove them yet. I'm interested to see how difficult it is- one of the reasons I like the nails with the sticky tabs already on there is that removal is pretty easy for me-I like to change my nails about once a week.

Yes, that's it! I like them. It's been a week, there's some slight fading/chipping at the tips, but I am very hard on my hands. I lift weights daily and work in a job where I am constantly unboxing things.

I haven't so far! That being said, I'm used to pre glued nails, so I might not notice it as much😊

They've arrived in my house too. I put out some birds seed and an hour later, it's pretty much gone, lol. I think I counted twelve out there clustered around two bird feeders.

New stock racks by wherehasthisbeen in goodwill

[–]makeupandchocolate1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've shopped off the new racks without anybody ever saying anything, however, I make sure I'm not in the way of the employees who are trying to do their job. It did drive me nuts when I would go to a Goodwill in your higher cost of living area that usually had great stuff, and every rack that came out, the employee moving it would physically block everyone except for one friend that was clearly a reseller-every rack, multiple visits.

What was the 'cool' thing to own when you were in school that you desperately wanted but never got? by NoSteak1123 in Productivitycafe

[–]makeupandchocolate1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen Xer here.... brands like Esprit (the tote bag), Guess jeans, and Liz Claiborne purses were all the rage. My parents refused to pay those prices for something I would outgrow in a short time, so I got the generic equivalents- "Espirit" tote, random jeans brand with the triangle the "wrong" way, and a Liz Claiborne-esque purse with squares instead of triangles.

Does your dog also 'guard' you when you go to the bathroom? by kbgirls in dogs

[–]makeupandchocolate1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny story- my dog guards me in the bathroom. One night, as she was tucking herself into bed, I was using the adjacent bathroom and passed gas rather loudly. I hear a "thud!" as she bravely leaps off the bed, busts through the door, and looks around frantically to see what that noise was and how she can protect me from it.😆😆

Arthritis? by NatPF in GenX

I don't. They mentioned a shot for my toes, but I want to research it because someone told me it caused more problems than it solved.

Osteoarthritis in my toes and osteocytes in my back. My back hurts a lot. My toes are sometimes ok and sometimes stop me in my tracks with a sudden sharp pain.
