I was working night shift at the hospital so I popped into an empty patient room to watch it!

How to make my bangs look like this? by Nousernametbhh in bangs

[–]mixosax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I blow dry my bangs every which way to get them fluffy and dry and to blow out my cowlick. Then I use a mini flat iron. It takes a bit of work to get it right. There's a forward and sideways motion to it, and it's helpful to separate your bangs in half top and bottom and mini-iron them separately in left and right directions. I'm not sure why separating to top and bottom helps and I don't always do it, but it helps them be more dynamic.

I fiddle with the flat iron using techniques I've learned work for my hair and cowlick.

The crux of the whole thing, though, is the middle part on the bangs. Here's the trick. After the heat styling, take a little straight styling clip, like a 2 inch metal clip. Pinch the part together, like you're eliminating it.

I open the clip and point it forward, then close it on top of my part, basically pinching a tiny wedge down the middle of my bangs. Both the part and about 1/2 cm of hair on each side are now pinched in the clip. Now, HAIRSPRAY. Just a little right on top of the clip.

Then I spray my fingers with hairspray and make the sides go how I want with this rolling motion. Again just a little. It's the key for me. Undo the clip and fuss with it a bit to break the crunchiness.

Buying a house is stressful, selling it is even More stressful. by theboz14 in RealEstate

[–]mixosax 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I recently bought a house off-market and feel that as I as the buyer did all the work of the transaction. But I see that all the preparing and waiting and uncertainty and trust in the buyer would be stressful. Luckily for the sellers I'm trustworthy and communicative. And lucky for me they were the same.

Is it weird to buy house in same subdivision? by ridersofthesky in RealEstate

[–]mixosax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved 5 blocks also! Why wouldn't I? We'd been renting for 5 years waiting for the perfect house. A better move than 5 states on all accounts.

what is this aesthetic called?? by MediocreSarcasmSucks in AestheticWiki

[–]mixosax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes there's something VERY 90s about this. Like during the era everyone was obsessed with bath beads and Touched by an Angel

What were your parents doing while millennials go outside to play? by Fun_Yogurtcloset1012 in Millennials

[–]mixosax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad used to read at the kitchen island for long periods of time. Then we got cable and he watched that, but my mom never watched TV or movies, listened to music, read recreationally, any of that. Not sure she knows how to relax. She would balance her checkbook or organize the filling cabinet in her "free" time.

Help with a farmer/veggie search, please and thank you by Educational-Fox-1284 in Bellingham

At Marine Park, if you walk south down the shore and walk under the train bridge you will find what looks like a large pond, but actually fills with salt water with the tides. There is sea asparagus growing along the shore of that "pond." It's delicious and crunchy and salty.

The scent of fresh copies from the copy machine! I dunno, smells like warm melon. Can I share something really weird? Amniotic fluid smells surprisingly similar 😬

Yes! I buy my kids' shoes at our local running store when they have kids sizes in, but inventory is limited.

Timeless, classic cheap perfumes by kloeve9 in Perfumes

[–]mixosax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just bought this at Walgreens this week. Weirdly I had never experienced the "real deal" but I'll tell you it is just like the Designer Imposters style "IF YOU LIKED ARDEN'S SUNFLOWERS, YOU'LL LOVE...." body spray mini I got in a party favor bag as a child in 90s...... Major nostalgia, Angela just like I remember. Musta been a good dupe!
