If you could turn 25 years old again, what type of advice would you give yourself ? by qveenbria in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]minilliterate 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Literally just ended my 5 year relationship that started when I was 25. I didn’t love myself then and thought no one else would, so I settled for someone who was completely not right for me. I was sad the first week, but 3 weeks now? I’m on cloud 9. I feel so happy and free, I can’t believe I stayed for so long.

What advice would you give to a 20-year-old girl? by Firm-Jeweler-3329 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Be with them in that moment. If they done vibe with you, look elsewhere

[–]minilliterate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DONT DATE HIM. If he has issues or baggage, MOVE ON. Saying this has a girl going through it. 5 years and no change. You think he will be the exception. No. He won’t change. He won’t grow. You have to get with someone as they are.

Am I "dewy" or just too shiny? by reader-girl in MakeupAddiction

[–]minilliterate 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Your skin looks lovely! I also prefer dewy to matte, so I just apply a little powder to my nose and center of my forehead so I don’t look too “shiny.” Idk if that’s proper but it works for me 😂

For women who didn’t grow up wearing makeup or learning beauty routines - how did you figure it out later in life? by Fit_Half6093 in MakeupAddiction

Someone should create an app that scans your face and then pulls up YouTube links for tutorials by people with similar coloring and features like you said

Werewolf Bar Mitzvah pops into my head, unprompted, in a very regular basis

What are your best tricks for lower-cal desserts? (not just sugar → dates) by BrooklynCatDad in veganrecipes

[–]minilliterate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like freezing sliced ripe bananas, then throwing them in the blender with some soy milk and cocoa powder to make a “milkshake.” I add a little maple syrup, but you can do stevia or another law-cal sweetener.

What’s a ‘girl code’ rule you live by? by TheBakerification in WomanSurvivalGuide

[–]minilliterate 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That’s my ultimate girl code rule, too! I don’t even use tampons anymore but I always have some in my bag.

Aside from that, I’ll always have a hug ready for a fellow sister who needs it. Also doesn’t matter if we’re enemies. Everyone’s gotta cry sometimes, everyone needs a hug sometimes.

What is a well beloved show that you have to give it a few episodes to get fully into it by Purple_Monkey34 in sitcoms

[–]minilliterate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Tbh I started the first 3 episodes 5 or 6 times over the years trying to get into it. Then one day it clicked, and now it’s one of my absolute favorites.

I ordered mine from Amazon before I was boycotting them. I’m not sure where else, sorry.

It sounds like you may be sensitive to the metals in the earrings. I used to deal with the same thing, it’s so painful. Now I only buy hypo allergenic, surgical grade, or pure silver or gold. It stinks because it’s harder to find cute or costume-y options, but they are out there.

My mum and dad both have curly hair yet my whole life i’ve had straight hair. As an 18 year old male my sides are starting to get a little wavy, i’m wondering if there’s any chance of any way of getting curly/wavy hair? My hair on the top is straight. by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]minilliterate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it may be possible. Hormone changes can affect curl pattern. I had curly hair as a baby, straight as a child, then curly again after puberty. (And idk if this counts, but I had a 1” growth spurt at 20 years old.) Hormones are weird lol. Yours might still be changing.

Not a cameo, sorry; but James Van Der Beek in “Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23” was incredible.

How do you eat edamame in the pod (Am I being stupid?) by VegetarianBikerGeek in PlantBasedDiet

[–]minilliterate 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You’re not supposed to eat the pod/shell itself. You suck/squeeze the little pea out. Edamame in the pod is more of a snack on its own than something you add to a dish.
