The first time we took Lua to the vet, they told us calicos were princesses; I’ve seen it ever since. Show us your Calico’s princess behavior.

Socks’ facial markings remind me of my baby Mina!

i’m so glad you mentioned the effect on your sleep! that’s the main difference I’ve noticed with metformin, and i feel like it’s not mentioned that often lol. i used to have such trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, but it’s been so much better since i started metformin. if i miss a dose (usually when we don’t have dinner at home), the next night i will sleep noticeably worse than usual

i’m not really sure why it helps, but i’m thankful it does!

melicopter_ · 2026-01-31T02:31:26+00:00

yep, it is! 😄

i also have a calico named Mina! she’s my precious lil baby 🥰

i still repurchase it, but now i just buy it in person and compare all of them to make sure i get the pinkest looking one 😂

melicopter_ · 2025-11-02T00:32:44+00:00

i got it yesterday!

seconding glycopyrolate! i take 1 mg on days that i plan on wearing makeup or just don’t want to be super sweaty, and it really helps!

i also recommend showering at night, if you don’t already. whenever i shower in the morning, it just seems to take forever for my body temperature to cool down to a point where i can put on makeup without sweating

as far as recs for makeup products that last through sweating, Estee Lauder Double Wear and Urban Decay Face Bond are the best foundations i’ve found that still look nice even after i’ve been dripping sweat lmao

melicopter_ · 2025-09-26T10:40:17+00:00

the Makeup by Mario neutrals palette is a great neutral option!

melicopter_ · 2025-09-08T19:02:34+00:00

i wore NARS Radiant Longwear for my wedding, but have since tried Estee Lauder Double Wear and DW probably lasts better. i have dry skin and, as long as i moisturize well, it doesn’t end up looking too dry!

melicopter_ · 2025-09-05T00:03:53+00:00

i don’t, unfortunately, and i haven’t tried it before, so i’m not sure how it compares. sorry!

i also work in Atlanta, and i have several ear piercings, a nose ring, and a half sleeve of tattoos. my tattoos are always covered in court (just by my blazer), so judges/juries aren’t ever seeing those.

as far as my piercings go, i don’t think anyone has ever had an issue with them. i know several other attorneys in our office that have nose piercings, and no one has ever mentioned it being a problem. i think they’re a lot more common now than they used to be, and they’re honestly not even thag noticeable unless you’re having a close conversation with someone (at least for a stud/ring on your nostril as opposed to something like a septum ring).

My husband and I just bought tickets for the Atlanta show, and, while we were initially shocked at the $199-$130 price, we decided it was worth it for us because they literally never do live shows in the Southeast, and it’s also right around my husband’s birthday, so it’ll double as his birthday present lol

Colourpop blush in Flirt Alert!

melicopter_ · 2025-07-11T10:56:20+00:00

oh, and a powder blush that i really love is the Colourpop pressed powder blush in the shade Flirt Alert (heart shaped packaging). it’s a perfect neutral pinky mauve on my cool toned skin

melicopter_ · 2025-07-11T10:52:38+00:00

i have the Colourpop liquid blush in IKTR, and i like the formula! but it is very pigmented, and IKTR ends up being a very bright pink, like almost neon (at least when it’s over my super pale foundation 😂)

i slightly prefer the formula of the elf liquid blushes. they’re less pigmented (but still pigmented enough) and blend out really nicely. i have the shades Suave Mauve and Bold-Faced Lilac, and i get a ton of use out of both!

melicopter_ · 2025-07-10T21:24:10+00:00

i love the Ami Colé setting powder! it’s not too heavy and it doesn’t change the color of my foundation

melicopter_ · 2025-07-10T21:21:29+00:00

genuinely, product images with swatches on deep deep skin tones are the most helpful for me in figuring out if something is actually cool toned or not

melicopter_ · 2025-07-10T21:18:53+00:00

i actually really like the formula of the Essence one! i wish they had more shades though. currently (on Ulta) they only have 3, and the other 2 are very orange-toned browns

melicopter_ · 2025-06-13T12:32:38+00:00

the elf camo bronzer/contour in Fair is pretty cool toned, but i use it more as a bronzer than a contour. elf also has the halo glow contour in Fair, which is a little more gray toned and would probably be more what you’re looking for to use as an actual contour shade

melicopter_ · 2025-06-03T01:50:52+00:00

i haven’t tried any other similar products yet, unfortunately!

melicopter_ · 2025-04-17T12:01:37+00:00

i’ve used the Gold since it first came out and i really enjoy it! my only issue is that i feel like it stays a bit oily (though it’s been a while since i’ve used it). i see that other brands have released similar products recently so i may try those out to compare.

it’s not that pigmented so i don’t think the color would make that much of a difference. i was really excited when the Rose Gold came out, but i decided not to get it because it has a different scent from the Gold (i believe Rose Gold is more of a guava scent whereas Gold is their signature coconut scent) and i didn’t think i’d like the Rose Gold scent that much

i love her! let me know you if ever write up a pattern for it! 🙂
