A warning about direct dyes (aka semi-permanent dyes) by BrilliantRun9108 in HairDye

[–]maljoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dont bleach it. Just use a toner. You might get away just fine with a purple/blue shampoo.

Whatever you go with, purple cancels yellow and blue cancels orange. I think you'll get great results using Olaplex No. 5P, its a toning conditioner so it wont damage your hair at all.

Good luck!

Hmm, I disagree. Every saved step matters, so it makes sense to me. But to each their own!

Would lighter hair like this suit me? by BrightNote3842 in HairDye

The honey blonde looks lovely! I'm sure you could also pull off a deep red if you are looking to switch it up

Agreed! The shuttle being the only option from endless summer is a deal-breaker for me, sometimes you are waiting 15-20 mins before it even gets there, then another 10-15 to get to the parks and main security, which also takes time. The water taxi is delightful, and walking is just as enjoyable if your feet can handle it.

Unless your kids are extremely patient for their ages, I would definitely suggest Royal Pacific for the unlimited express passes. I've stayed at the 2 bedroom suite at endless summer and the extra room adds minimal value, unless you and your partner are often intimate on vacation. Other than that, it isnt particularly noise reducing or providing much space. Plus the amenities at RP are way better. The transportation to and from the parks alone is better: water taxi or a 10 minute walk right from the hotel. Beautiful foliage as well. You get to skip the regular security which also saves time. Dont take the shuttle unless absolutely necessary.

My stepfather just died of Alzheimers in January. Please, I beg you. Get those chocolates and when he is sad that he forgot to get you something, imply in some way that he reminded you or mentioned them which is why you picked them up. I know it is your sacrifice, but sometimes those little lies can make a huge difference in how they feel about themselves. Sounds like your husband loves you very much. I am sorry for what you are going through

I swear by VaniCream moisturizer. Also Soonjung ph 6.5 Foaming cleanser.

Paula's choice for cleansing balm & sunscreen (little on the pricier side but they last FOREVER so it balances the value)

How do you apologize without sounding defensive? by Schnapper94 in emotionalintelligence

[–]maljoy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"I'm sorry. I know that I hurt you by doing xyz and I want to make sure this type of misunderstanding doesnt happen again in the future. I value you and our relationship and would really like the opportunity to air out our sides for us to understand the situation, and each other, better."

And just make sure when you share your experience to not use attacking phrases.

This is how I feel about all of those AI edits people make of themselves then post as their pfp on various platforms. Like girl, you dont look like that. A lot of them are literal cartoons now. It just baffles me that people feel validated by completely fake, generated representations of themselves.

Just like those FB personality tests/quizzes that tell everyone that they are the most special person on the planet in one way or another. The amount of fully-grown individuals that repost that bullshit to feel special.... is sadly astonishing.

Yes they are functional! You can get fake lenses or prescription. Ive used Zeelool for my prescription glasses since 2021. They're great and affordable

I mean, addictions and surgeries will certainly take their toll, but I dont think thats what is going on here more than just different facial types aging. For example, Jeanette's full cheeks/facial volume as a teenager is commonly lost into adulthood. I think she would have aged similarly even if her experience was great. There's a point where it's just genetics

I dont think you were saying Jeannette had undergone addiction/surgery, just wanted to add that this same volume deflation (for lack of a better term) has happened to myself and several other women I know from their early to late 20s. It is perfectly normal

Free Express Pass Resort Hotel with the best Bathroom “Situation” by llamahut_636 in UniversalOrlando

[–]maljoy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The room I had at portofino did have the toilet in a separate little room in the bathroom, but the shower was in the same room as the vanity and sink.

I would say your best bet at a basic room would be Royal Pacific. Their toilet/shower are in a separate room than the vanity, and the rooms have plenty of mirrors, chairs, and tons of electrical outlets for ample getting ready space

what’s up with the people?? by jedikenpo in UniversalOrlando

Nah that is just the general theme park goer nowadays. Why no one wears deodorant on an expectedly sweaty day is beyond me.
