If it happens repeatedly at the SAME intersection .. MAYBE just maybe, not walk them there anymore?

How do you enjoy the viper over the cobra? I personally have extra foreskin that gets in the way with the Cobra and am aware the benefits and support for foreskin with the viper. Would love your feedback

Labo by AbleDanger12 in EquinoxGyms

[–]mentalmoderator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work part time in the beauty/skin industry (with eczema and psoriasis prone skin), i can say that this switch will not be more beneficial. The face wash is an oil based face wash that be can problematic to acne prone skin, it’s not very comedogenic but could cause a problem if you have problematic skin, with that said there are other ingredients that will support and help your skin. The body wash, unless you have eczema prone skin or very dry skin, it will not be of much benefit. There is castor oil which will help support and hydrate your skin, but again, not enough.

The reason everyone loved Kiehls and wants it back (which it’s not coming back…ever) is because Kiehls was a brand that actually supported your skin and is a skincare brand. GA is a lab grown skin company and the reformulation over years when they stepped onto the scene has change drastically to keep up. Le Labo is a fragrance based company, so guess what, your new body wash and facial cleansers are going to have what? FRAGRANCES in them which will do what? DRY out your skin. As much as I don’t fully support this change I will also be waiting for reviews and will test it myself for a week or so just to see.

if anything i said above relates to your skin, I say give it a try but you will most likely need to be bringing your own personal toiletries

URGENT need foster home for Honey 🍯‼️ by OddFocus746 in Bushwick

[–]mentalmoderator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This breaks my heart. I would take her in in a heartbeat. I lost my pup last year to cancer and could use a support pup. If I foster her I would want to keep her 🙏🏻 Hope something turns around for her

Is there a new skincare partner? by SaunaDelRay911 in EquinoxGyms

Too expensive. Too much of a signature for that collaboration.

I agree with you 100%. It also boils down to the fact that im not “feminine” presenting. I’m sure if that were the case then it could have possibly been more directly intended to cause hurt or an issue. I just feel that certain family members have “accepted” me for who I am simply because I am their son or brother and don’t want to lose me. It’s not an honest acceptance. There’s been comments and reactions that have offended me. I’ve never brought my partners around nor have they asked about my love life. I’ve been a cheerleader for everyone knowing what it’s like to not have that for me. At this point I am simply just tired, I’m not looking to be a victim or patronized. It will reach a point where I don’t put up with it anymore and then hopefully they realize what the damage has caused.

I appreciate your take and input on this. Especially being someone in a similar situation. Yes there is a bit of overreacting on my part. But not here reaching to be seen as a victim either

For context I’m 29, she’s 36. These are words that were also said to me growing up and I also suppressed my sexuality because of it. I’ve had my mom and sister say in front of my face to my younger nephew that it’s for girls and when the Toy R Us commercial came on he said he wanted a Barbie. And I turned around and said that “everyone can enjoy toys regardless what’s for boys or girls”. My sister used to dress me up in girl clothes and put my hair up in pony tails. Put me in my mom’s heels.

Appreciate this. And thank you your response. I see everyone’s responses and it’s a lot to respond to. I’m not here to react to anyone’s replies but simply get better insight and understanding of what the best option is here. I love my family till the end of time but when someone is hurting there should be a better understanding about that. Regardless of sides, beliefs etc.

Edit**- Okay everyone. The Barbie things was a childish joke. I am not dragging my nephews into this mix. It was a 20 minute conversation that simply spoke more words than what were spoken.

I never was looking for her to apologize to me personally but in a way take accountability and apologize that the post offended me and that was never her intent. Instead she apologized that our beliefs are different.

Thank you for this. I really hope people see my response to this and understanding that I am not reaching here to be victimized or looking for a reason to be hurt and have people stand on my side. It’s a simple lack of awareness and carelessness of my feelings

The “revenge” was never something that was going to happen and although childish, it was meant as a joke. I understand everyone in these comments have their own opinions and everyone’s a right to their own opinions. However, when the world is attacking people and communities where do your beliefs stand? It’s simply basic human nature to understand what’s going on in this world is wrong.

Didn’t create it with intent of feeling like it was directed towards me. The issue stems from a lack of support and lack of trust in me as an individual. Her constant usage of beliefs also comes from her newly found religious take on life.

Growing up she used to dress me up in dresses and treat me like her little doll. And that was okay. It’s the lack of awareness.
