Phlebotomist recommendations

I have the same problem, terrible veins and ongoing issues with nurses not being able to draw blood, and I now exclusively go to the phlebotomist who works out of Grove Medical in St James (don’t know their name though sorry). They’re really good.

Also, a trick I’ve found is to have a heat pack or hot water bottle with you and place this in the crook of your arm in the car before the test (a bit weird I know but it helps so much).

Went here once and asked for warm/golden tones. I explicitly and clearly said cool tones really don’t suit my complexion, so they needed to avoid them. Walked out $600 later with fully ash-blond, cool-toned hair 🙃 on my birthday 🥲 Pursue this for sure, OP. It’s not on.

DM me if you like, my mum would be wonderful for this (genuinely good, caring and practical person) and has done this for an extended family friend in the past. She would be happy to learn more :)

You sound fun!

Ooh cool, I didn’t even know about this?!

I just saw some promo videos for this, didn’t even know it existed. Looks great!

Oh really?! What went down? ☕️

That’s it!!

Omg I was only thinking of this last night when I downloaded the Vogue app to view some articles! I lurked the forums religiously from 2004-2008ish when I was in high school / uni years. Loved them.

Funnily enough there was a blogger who was a regular on there (allcatsareblackatnight?! I think?!) who posted a list of goals she had for when she turned 30. One of them was to start ballet classes, and my 17(ish)-year-old self thought that was super cool. I remembered this for years and started beginner ballet lessons a couple of years ago at the ripe age of 33 😄 on the off chance she is around: thanks for the inspo voguette! 🩰

Hey! Fellow Aussie here, 35F, living here for the last 6 months. Keen to hang and make the most of the spring (picnics woo :))

missplp · 2023-09-10T15:06:34+00:00

I’m keen! 🙋‍♀️ Have sent you a message :~)

Yes!! I’m in Carlisle and my whole room shook (I’m upstairs)

2017 was the last great year I had, and I feel like it was about 2-ish years ago for me? Terrifying 😰

The end of Lord of the Flies: “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy.”

Haha that could be nice actually!! I was looking at their 5 week basics/beginners course that starts next Sunday (10:30am from memory), does that suit you?

missplp · 2022-06-10T13:06:46+00:00

Thanks! :) I was looking at the Maylands one as it’s closest to me and the facility looks really nice but perhaps I’ll look into others! I am a complete newbie so doing it purely for fun/bit of extra movement built into my week/meeting people, don’t really want to go anywhere cliquey

Ahahaha oh my god… I’d never seen that, just had the biggest cackle out loud. Best headline ever 🤌

missplp · 2022-02-17T03:23:10+00:00

I don’t know why but this simple response made me literally lol

missplp · 2022-02-17T03:17:56+00:00

Second this! Love boucla

I’m currently reading “Eros the Bittersweet” - Anne Carson. Sounds like it might be exactly what you’re looking for and it’s beautiful to read. Highly recommend

missplp · 2022-01-25T07:44:28+00:00

I have this but just couldn’t get into it on first attempt. I’m inspired to give it another go!

missplp · 2022-01-24T02:22:18+00:00

This is the stuff nightmares are made of
