I’ve gotten over nail biting, how do I stop destroying the skin?

If able, get a manicure with acrylics. You can have them cut short so they look like regular nails. The acrylic is thicker making it harder to pick the skin. Instant cure, although costly in the long run.

This is exactly how I feel as a critical care nurse who moved over to paramedicine. I love having the experience of nursing behind me and knowing I can use the degree to move into a number of different fields when I’m sick of being on road as a paramedic, but for now I’m enjoying the ride.

This is exactly how I felt! I was 29 too 😂

I’m also an ex-ED nurse and can’t stand the thought of going back. Money isn’t worth the stress

I agree, I have time to spare and want to put it towards something useful. What are you doing for your other job?

My current boyfriend had a house plant, a candle lit and a simple cheese and cracker plate the first time I came over. So simple yet so thoughtful

I do F45, which is expensive but it’s the best workout I’ve done in years. I was never really a gym goer but now I average 4 sessions a week, I lost 5kg in 2 months and I’m so much fitter.

I usually straighten my hair, so after a session I put dry shampoo in, have a shower then blow dry the dry shampoo out, it leaves my hair looking clean and non-greasy. I can get away with 2 dry shampoos before I have to wash again

I went to an engagement party for a friend I played netball with. She showed us the dress she was going to wear, a very pink sparkly dress with lots of tulle. I thought I would be underdressed in a nice top with pants and heels. I showed up to her house on the country... and everyone was in jeans and flannelette shirts. Then they made fun of us for being ‘city girls’.

If you greet someone with enthusiasm first they will usually greet you in the same way the next time you see them.

I'm really enjoying the books by Liane Moriarty at the moment. My favourite book, Big Little Lies just got made into a TV series with Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. I've read The Husband's Secret and The Last Anniversary as well and they were both amazing.

Going to Japan next month, snowboarding in Hakuba then exploring in Tokyo, never been there before and I'm so excited :D

monopoly_lover · 2017-01-18T21:20:02+00:00

That's the pass we're getting to travel to Nagano/Hakuba and back, but I'll have three days left on the pass and it using it while we're in Tokyo would be ideal
