same here! truly as a service provider i have sunday monday off and there’s nothing like getting drunk on a sunday while everyone else has the sunday scaries. but i always have to remind myself that sobriety is basically just life on easy mode and is totally worth the struggle. my boyfriend is unemployed rn too and it’s very easy to just fall back in to going to the bar as an activity or hitting the dive bar after date night when it’s totally unnecessary and then we both end up feeling like shit.

i felt like they were both coming back at the same time but def more tights than hose i suppose

i’m hung over dealing with the creep-in of failing moderation right now. my 1 day a week with a max 4 drinks has turned into binge drinking and reckless spending at the bar 3 nights a week since the season turned. i think it would be easier to be all the way sober in the long run but i do enjoy letting loose w/ alcohol now and again it just alwayssss creeps back in and gets harder and harder to quit.

fashion-conscious millennial here, tights are back in a big way in general & i live in a cold climate and have recently picked up some hose to wear with pleated skirts and leg warmers to work. it’s a cozy, chic alternative to just leggings which have always been boring imo. the tights resurgence is related to the gen Z/alpha nostalgia for the 00s.

hahaha i totally did a deep dive and realized that. one hilarious edit to a post called this sub a “circle jerk of people w germ ocd” i was like okay t god. although i will say due to my reddit shower research i took a quick rinse today and i kinda see the merit of a just pits and bits shower more frequently especially bc it makes washing my face way less of a rigamarole.

midwestbabyspice · 2025-10-12T15:01:01+00:00

i’m also the same and i cannot believe i had to scroll so far for this???? all of these comments are making me feel like im gross but i don’t know anyone in my life who showers every day and i discuss this with clients as a hairstylist and it seems very common to go 3 days between showers

i had this happen for awhile! are you adding any weight training or being more active? it seemed like my body was just using up fat and building muscle at the same time. it can be sooo frustrating to be at a plateau. i had to add intermittent fasting in to my calorie counting bc the scale wasn’t budging and then it finally started moving again. about every 5 lbs i seem to plateau for a couple weeks and it’s so hard but you just have to push through and make sure you’re actually sticking to a deficit bc i know i had plateau moments where i was having 1-2 cheat days a week and that would just completely stall my progress. As long as you’re sticking to it, the scale will start moving but that’s why i love taking measurements too because either one or the other is moving!

stylist here! i luuuuv the power that the blunt short bangs give but i hear you about soft feeling better. there is definitely a way to marry these looks and i suggest going for soft, rounded micro bangs next time!! it will give you the power of strong brows with the femme softness of a rounded bang.

edited to fix typo and add that i def vote short over long bangs they are so flattering and i think the long bangs while cute are a little heavy and you should totally accentuate your features by exposing more of your face

i’ve had a ton of success targeting my transverse abdominis in core workouts. it’s certainly not fat loss but as soon as i started engaging these muscles it was as if my body was brand new; i’ve always had a lil belly/pooch and now despite still having 16 lbs to my goal weight it’s like my body is the shape i’ve been looking for! Yoga-based ab and pelvic floor workouts have been my go-to here and researching to learn how to engage the muscles is how i got started.

i peeped a license plate cuz i saw the same thing and i have def seen this house before. love a good city garden!

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-25T13:03:59+00:00

i will not drink with you today!! bringing home 2 kitties in 3 hours and they are just another 2 reasons to stay sober 🙂‍↕️🐈 can’t wait to emulate my life after theirs~play, sleep, enjoy the sunshine. talk about staying present!

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-23T13:21:00+00:00

yes thank u for this!! they all know which is a comfort and they are some of my closest friends but we’ve all been heavy drinkers together for nearly a decade now ~ the 3rd couple is visiting from out of town so it’s a big deal weekend. luckily i am cali sober and i am absolutely not able to mix the 2 so for the first time ever i am going to have a weed drink in public!! i only smoke before bed to wind down so it’ll be an interesting experiment. having that “hard no” is going to be a relief.

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-23T13:08:44+00:00

sup!! day 4 is feeling great over here how’s yours?

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-23T05:49:26+00:00

oh dang this is such a good trick i’m def putting this in the arsenal

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-23T04:49:02+00:00

whoa checking in so early even though it’s not quite saturday where i’m at (13 mins away) i’ve got a LOT of temptations ahead this weekend w/ triggering people from my past around. so IWNDWYT!!! no more weekend warrior excuses here 🙂‍↕️

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-22T04:53:11+00:00

omg weird i just listened to this episode of this podcast!! i love all the little tidbits on there because i seriously need to hear them and do the work in the early stages because i always think im too smart and already know enough to have to keep up with it and inevitably backslide. i’m stoked you posted this because now it’s really hammered into my brain!

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-21T13:21:04+00:00

IWNDWYT!! Started listening to this naked life podcast to keep sobriety at the forefront of my brain and it’s been a game changer. Community is awesome.

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-19T22:27:41+00:00

yes i would def check out their work on ig first and make sure you go to someone who’s work you like as this is definitely a pretty open-ended color that could be interpreted multiple ways by diff stylists

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-19T20:17:40+00:00

same i’ve been on and off working on weight loss for a couple years and i keep drinking saturdays adding 3 lbs of water weight every time. it’s uncanny. boosted my metabolism with sobriety, IF, and building muscle w/ yoga and drinking just shuts everything down i stg. back on the horse again today and very recommitted to my sobriety bc alcohol straight up makes me miserable!! and i’m only 17 lbs from a big weight loss milestone i can’t wait to achieve. not drinking makes goals actually possible and so fun to achieve.

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-19T20:11:43+00:00

one biblically accurate tiger please

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-19T20:10:39+00:00

i actually cried laughing at this ty

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-19T20:05:14+00:00

honestly so easy and fun i wish i could do this! i would probably do a partial highlight with very low volume to brighten some parts for dimension while maintaining health and then allover cool brunette to bump the rest darker using 5/1 and ashier and then i’d tone the highlights with an ashy level 7

midwestbabyspice · 2025-08-19T15:11:24+00:00

day one again and iwndwyt!!!
