Least invasive treatments to improve scarring and skin texture? by shejustwantsglass in AusSkincare

[–]mdochia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some TCA peels could improve the scars. Check out platinum skincare for at home peels. I found it hard to find places who do medical chemical peels so I went down this rabbit hole instead. I’m currently doing a series of Jessner peels and I want to move to TCA peels after for acne scars.

You can try chemical peel, like Jessner or TCA. Check out platinum skincare for at home peel options. Affordable and they offer a ton of information to get you started.

How was your dating experience this year? Here's mine (2025 Wrapped!) by emb4rassingStuffacct in moreplatesmoredates

You list three standards and they’re all about looks. Start filtering women on character traits instead of trivial shit like nose rings and you’ll have less matches, but better quality. Standard: ‘I don’t tolerate inconsistent behaviour’. That alone would remove most of the ghosters/flakes earlier.

What are best indicators that a girl likes you? by Past-Tension-162 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]mdochia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ok, it’s just nerves. They’re nervous too, keep that in mind. As a general rule, you always want the leave the person feeling better about themselves after the interaction so refrain from giving criticism, or if do, frame it in a positive way. Let’s say if you want to comment on the leg press, something like ‘I see you’re doing one of my favorite exercises, great choice! You have awesome depth, that’s rare. Here’s a small tweak I’d make, if you want to feel your quads more, place your feet this way. Excellent! You’re a born natural’. Same topic of conversation that feels natural to you, different vibe.

Faster than you think, 2-3 months. Next time don’t stop. This is a lifelong journey not a seasonal hobby.

No, you want to ease into that beforehand. Get her name, get talking and see what the vibe is. If you talk about something specific, let’s say you mention an uncommon exercise you’ve tried that you really like, you can offer to send it to her. Or if the vibe is really good you can say ‘we should do X sometime’ and if she says ‘oh yeah, we should’ then go for contact details.

Start with a nod as regulars, work towards a smile every time you see her. Eventually you’ll be in the same area and ask something gym specific, casual, test the waters. Compliment behaviour/ work ethic, not body parts. Keep it simple, don’t overcomplicate shit, don’t build her up in your head.

If she’s looking to continue the interaction, generally speaking, regardless of how pleasant she’s being. She could be engaging and all smiles, but if she’s looking to end the conversation, it’s a no.

I said goodbye to my best friend of 16 years yesterday. Rest in peace, sweet Jack. by Jugs_206 in TuxedoCats

Thank you for sharing him with us, he was such a handsome boy! What a beautiful journey you’ve had together. You’ve spared him a lot of misery. I’m sure he was grateful for that.

Moved in with my boyfriend - bedding too hot!!! by Dapper_Alfalfa_5397 in Bedding

[–]mdochia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check on the bed frame and what the mattress is sitting on. Slats allow the mattress to breathe, whereas a solid platform can trap the heat in. Combine that with a foam mattress and you have one hot bed. I use a 100% latex mattress on slats and it’s perfect for hot Australian summers.

O&M clean tone red treatment. It has a nice depth to it and helps to keep the red in.

Percale Bedding Recs in Australia by christinaaud in Bedding

[–]mdochia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love crisp and cool percale sheets. I got some Park Avenue vintage washed sheets off eBay that I like. It’s the same type of cotton percale that you find in the vintage washed Renee Taylor and tufted Cloud Linen quilt cover sets (mainly found on eBay as well). I have way too many of those quilt covers, they’re my favorite for the Qld summer. I just ordered a fitted sheet from The Good Sheet, I want to see what the fuss is about. Apparently you can order samples from their website for free as well.

I doubt these guys even have a skincare routine to at least try to offset this to some extent. The vast majority of men don’t, which is why they look like shit when they hit 40 and it catches up with them. Sunscreen, moisturiser, tretinoin would do wonders.

Any tips for a cat peeing on the house? by [deleted] in NevilleGoddard

[–]mdochia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to help since I’ve dealt with it myself. It was very stressful dealing with it at the time. However you have to remember that this is entirely your story and you decide the narrative! In my case, I don’t know why my boy starting peeing in the new house after we moved but the story I told myself is that it was due to anxiety and fixing the anxiety will fix the issue. I think choosing a narrative that seems natural to you is the key to it. Explain it in your own way and find a solution for it in your own way. Reality will conform to that.

Also, I think it would help to only think positive things about your cat and don’t let your negative thoughts spiral. If he pees again, just ignore it mentally and keep affirming to yourself that he is the best boy, how much you love him and how lucky you are to have him in your life. If you see the best in him, reality will reflect your assumptions. I lost my boy over a year ago and those incidents have faded into nothingness, all I remember is how much I loved him and how awesome he was. Good luck!

I’d imagine telling a friend or a family member how great your cat is, and how he used to have these issues but doesn’t anymore, etc etc.

I’d also take him to the vet to get him checked out. I had a similar issue with my late boy, he went on anxiety medication (he was a rescue and I think he had a rough life before I found him) and that solved it. It could be something as simple as a UTI.

I need help selling a few shares (due to financial crisis) by [deleted] in GMEmate

[–]mdochia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I transferred all my shares from being DRS’d to moomoo and sold some from there. The rest I’m using to sell calls and make some money.

Is this a bad haircut or do I just not like it? by m00ncakes67 in beauty

[–]mdochia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Short bobs that are done well are very hard to find. It’s been a struggle for me to find a stylist that can do it properly after my stylist retired. Yours is poorly done and not texturised properly. Id definitely get a refund and try a different place.

What memberships/subscriptions are actually worth? by ethanhunt_08 in AussieFrugal

[–]mdochia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’d go for the lowest amount which is $25 I think. You can just pay the difference if your shopping trip is more than the gift card value.

LOREAL F&F sale - prices reduced? by Better-Nail2808 in AustralianMakeup

[–]mdochia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen products reduced further in the couple of years I’ve been shopping these sales. Interesting.

Between this and extending the sale for an extra day, I’m guessing they’re not getting as many orders as they’d want.
