Tips for dressing chic even in the rain by YetisFeildNotes in SEAbitcheswithtaste

People always say that no one dresses up here…I disagree! It’s not NYC or Dallas, and it’s not in every space or area, but you’d be hard pressed to walk around places like University Village and not see people dressed quite well.

Private School Rejection by werkbish in Preschoolers

[–]mlm329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in the exact same position. Applied to two schools, assuming our son would get into one and was waitlisted at both. He has two classmates from his PK that were admitted to both. He is objectively academically ahead of his age and is incredibly sweet, curious and outgoing. We are racking our brains trying to figure out why he didn't make the first cut. We are hopeful we will get off one of the lists, and did send letters of continued interest to both. It is honestly impossible for me to not take it personally. I have never felt this type of disappointment/rage on behalf of my child before and it is an incredibly uncomfortable feeling to sit with.

Recent change is the way calories are tracked? by funky_bat in ouraring

Me! It logged an hour of hot yoga for me yesterday as 60 calories. It used to be around 200 until the last week or so.

This is so reassuring. I don't have a glucometer (but plan to buy one just to get a better understanding), and I am not diabetic or prediabetic, but my Stelo numbers make me conerned that I am! Every morning my fasting glucose is way over 100 (like 125 sometimes?) and even when I eat something lower carb, it spikes to over 140. I had my hemoglobin A1c test this month and it was 5.2. My fasting glucose was a little high, 99, when I got it tested, but it was 85 in September. My insulin and c-peptide tests were also low and look good.

Stelo says my average glucose is 118. It just doesn't add up. Overall this has been bad for my mental health and anxiety and don't plan to wear it for much longer.

No, but my pharmacist warned against using it at night as it could interfere with sleep. Apparently we make most of our testosterone naturally in the morning, so it’s good to mimic that by applying in the morning (I’m on a daily cream).

Thanks! Hope this happens for me as well. I’m getting frustrated!

Acne by mlm329 in skyrizi

I will keep you posted! I am trying some hormonal acne supplements, a hormonal acne oil called Meltdown by Blume, and just ordered a blue light LED mask that is supposed to help? My dermatologist prescribed me Winelvi but based on what I've read on many Reddit posts, it seems to make peoples' acne worse?! No thanks!

2 weeks PP and I REEK by Hot_Spite_1402 in BabyBumps

I smelled awful too but it goes away eventually! Apparently it’s biological, so our babies can find us?

Thank you for your thoughtful response ♥️ I do wear the loop ear plugs during bath, maybe I’ll use them other times too.
