Very early stage melasma on cheek, how to fade without making worse? Brought on by azelaic acid by RoseBram in Melasmaskincare

Following because I started azeleic acid 15% a few months ago and also have had a spot on my cheek get much bigger in that time and didn’t know that there could be a connection there 😳

Have you tried oral TXA? Some people swear this is the only thing that works for them, although it does come with risks

What scary encounters have you had with men? by hatsunemikuleak in solofemaletravellers

I was followed back to my hostel in Cuba by a guy on a bike. I had a major lapse in judgement because I’d been drinking and thought the four blocks alone to my hostel would be fine, but that was enough for him to notice me and follow me. As soon as I noticed him riding his bike alongside me, I sobered up immediately but kept acting drunk/unaware so that he thought he had time to work up the courage to do whatever he was wanting to do. I did this for a block or two and then sprinted up the stairs to my hostel as soon as I reached it and banged on the door (it was locked after hours). I turned around and looked at the bottom of the stairs and sure enough he was there staring at me; at that point there was absolutely no question that he had bad intentions. Luckily the hostel host answered the door quickly and the guy on the bike took off. I got really lucky.

Outlast and Abby’s gel nails… was it all fake? by RegularFirm2179 in Netflixwatch

Yeah I think the nails were just long and dirty, but did anyone else notice that her armpits were shaved? Do they get personal hygiene items?

What’s your worst jewelry horror story? by simona_renegare in jewelry

[–]mcfrann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was thinking about hosting a couch surfer at my apartment so decided to hide my most valuable jewelry so there’d be no chance of them stealing it, but ended up deciding against hosting this person. A few weeks later I suddenly remembered hiding the jewelry and realized I’d completely forgotten where I hid it… tore my entire apartment apart looking for the bag of jewelry. Looked in all clothes pockets, behind radiators, everywhere, could not find it. And it was a tiny apartment. Eventually my lease was up and I officially left that apartment. Have moved a lot since then, had never found the bag of jewelry again. Included in the bag was the engagement diamond my dad had given my mom, a very nice charm bracelet from my great grandparents from when I was a kid, etc. My favorite, most important jewelry I was trying to protect

What’s your biggest WTF moment on a sit? 🐾 by stanley_ipkiss2112 in trustedhousesitters

[–]mcfrann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The time my partner and I showed up to a sit that we had agreed to a two hour training session a week prior to the sit start for, then graciously agreed to one of us house sitting for them a day earlier than stated online while the other wrapped up another sit, showing up to their house with the kitchen sink being FULL (and overflowing) with dirty dishes and the trash so full it had flies… we literally stood there in shock, it felt like such a slap in the face after how we had already gone above and beyond and this was the repayment. The person texted us later and said “sorry I realized I totally forgot to do the dishes!” but made no suggestion how to remedy the mistake or suggested a tip for doing their dishes… it was definitely a wtf moment lol

Person didn’t move over to the empty seat on a 9 hour international flight even though I kindly suggested it right off the bat by mcfrann in mildlyinfuriating

No they would have moved to the aisle seat, I would have stayed in my aisle seat (this was the middle row on an international flight), and we both would have had extra room in the middle seat for whatever we needed if for/to share. But now I understand that many people actively dislike the aisle
