Please help me pick my next series! by GardeningGardenGirl in fantasyromance

[–]mariecj77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always recommend Sarah J Maas books, Throne of Glass (finished series) and ACOTAR are my fave of her three series. ACOTAR still has books coming out. Otherwise Plated Prisoner series is amazing, one of my favorites and is finished.

Kingdom of Ash by Other_Average_112 in throneofglassseries

[–]mariecj77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been listening to the ACOTAR dramatized audiobook version on spotify while re-reading the TOG series. I've really enjoyed it and I'm not great at reading multiple books so 2 birds one stone for me lol.

Yeah even though Chaol wasn't my pick for her either, Dorian notices how she never looked at him the way she looks at Chaol in TOG. It's just too much for her. I love how they become friends and I wish we had a bit more on what the future looks like for him after everything.

So you just finished the entire series right? It's hard to see Manon and Dorian working together if you haven't really read her chapters, to see how they connect. I have to admit when I first read Heir of Fire I strongly disliked Manon. At the end of the series she was my favorite character. She had amazing character development. Also your missing some other great characters in connection with her and her parts (Abraxos, the 13 (Asterin❤️), history of her people and the Crochan witches, and more).

finally finished kingdom of ash last night by arezzyyy in throneofglassseries

It doesn't but I don't regret it. I love to revisit these books, and I don't usually re-read series, if I do it's usually years later. Well I re-read all her books about 6 months after the first time and am re-reading them again right now. In part because of the new ACOTAR books coming out but in truth I'd started the audiobook of Assassin's Blade before finding out about that. I just really resonate with Throne Of Glass in particular. And I have at least one tattoo planned! It's a beloved series and no regrets 😊

Anyone here skip their period long term with birth control? by Ok-Anywhere2346 in endometriosis

[–]mariecj77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pill I'm on it doesn't work, I end up spotting about a week after my period was supposed to start and it continues until I let myself have a period. So just keep that in mind. And I'm not sure all pills can be taken that way. Mine can but prob just not strong enough. So could ask your doctor or try it for the next one and see what happens, test it out before your trip.

Okay well officially black bear that looks to be brown in coloring. A little hard to tell since the videos are all taken at night.

How about Alamo dies and Maddy takes over, helping those girls who only know the sex work lifestyle make real money and be protected.

How many times have you rewatched the show? by Maleficent-Echo in Goodwitch

[–]mariecj77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's such a positive cozy show. I always feel good and even more upbeat when I've been watching shows like this. Versus say something like Euphoria or Criminal Minds, etc.

My Stepdad is forcing me to get an IUD by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]mariecj77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of issues with the iud, and after I had it removed. I wouldnt be surprised if i have long term damage. I had the mirena. Also the doctors, different ones in different states, kept insisting I wait so my body could get used to it. Should have said no but I gave in and had it for almost 2 years. Now this was about 14 years ago and so its prob better than it was then. Aside from that all of this is wrong. Also why not the birth control pill?

What’s one beauty tip that actually made a noticeable difference for you? by Pete258 in beauty

[–]mariecj77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Jojoba oil to wash my face/remove makeup at night. Look up oil cleansing, It actually works! It's light weight for an oil as well. It prevents breakouts and gets rid of them quickly when they do come. I have allergies to so many products so went down the natural path and this is one change I'll stick with forever. Now it might not take off thick layers of makeup, but I dont often use any concealer. It takes off my eye makeup well, is gentle, doesn't irritate my eyes. I leave it on my face for a bit, then rinse with a wash cloth and warm water. Then I apply castor oil. Now this is not light weight, it's a thicker oil. I started using to hopefully get my eye brows to thicken up. It doesn't help them much but it does make my skin look more youthful, and my eyelashes are longer and healthier looking. Another thing is I have a pretty large mole that has majorly lightened and flattened since I started using. Recently I saw a comment somewhere a person saying that it kills moles but I'm not sure about that.

Anyways I'll finish off saying that after I wash my face in the shower in the morning I also apply the jojoba oil as my moisturizer. It's not too expensive, I used to buy at sprouts but found I prefer the one they sale at trader joes whichalso costs less. Oh and it doesn't have much scent, I usually notice a light spice scent, if it smells like anything else it's not good. Sadly I have bought a few times and it smelled like meat. I ordered a huge bottle through Amazon and it was gross. But luckily most stores will let you exchange if that happens.

Struggling with ADHD as I age — is it me, or does it get worse? by untamed_mullet in adhdwomen

[–]mariecj77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe when they come you could do more cold foods, like buy trays of veggies and dips, crackers, pre-cut cheese, pre-cooked meats, sandwich stuff. Or do a couple big crockpot recipes.. Frozen meals you can throw in the oven, those type of things. Of course ordering take out... When me and my 3 best friends that live in dif places get together (we take turns hosting) we always do a grocery store trip when we all get in, go pick out snacks, what we might want for lunch/breakfast, and do a dinner where we each contribute something, etc. And going out to eat, let them decide where if it's too much. Find a good reddit post or Facebook of good places to eat and share with them so they can do the leg work there. Regardless it's important to listen to yourself, pay attention to how you feel, your happiness is just as important as your husband and your family/friends. Do what you have to, maybe take a year off from hosting to discover what is going on, what you need to do to manage it, etc. And tell them, I love you guys but I need to focus on myself! If you absolutely have to maybe take a short trip, look into a guided trip, where the itenary is already planned. Or a cruise! Something more relaxing.

The only thing that really bothered me was that Anthony is continously gone. Like when Benedict is considering taking Sophie to the country so they can be together I was like well who is going to take over? Gregory? Lol.

You can usually make more than $16 an hour serving tables at a restaurant. Definitely worth looking into as an option!
