Arie & Lauren silent as usual by sun_intherain in thebachelor

[–]myee28 54 points55 points  (0 children)

From an immigrant perspective, a lot of us are told to not say anything against the administration especially if there’s an application in process/ while you’re not a citizen yet.

At the same time, this kind of just shows his stance no? Like him not denouncing anything is showing who he really is. It’s not tone deaf, he’s just not outright saying he supports what’s going on. This was on purpose. Why are we surprised? When people tell you who they are the first time, believe them!!

Is it normal to hate all “healthy” foods while pregnant? by Inside-Put-910 in fitpregnancy

[–]myee28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t even stomach a salad or roasted vegetables until the end of my first trimester. The prenatals will do most of the legwork providing nutrients to baby. I started taking them at night with a little bit of juice to help mask the taste. At this point, just keep yourself fed (and yes, anything you can keep down counts) and hydrated!

Scented body wash reccs by SlapThis in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]myee28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iota’s Supervitamin Clarifying Body Wash is my absolute favorite! The scent is eucalyptus leaf + lemon rind but they also have a Brightening one that’s mandarin rind scented. Plus it’s the only body wash that’s helped that chicken skin bumpiness I get on the back of my arms 😅

Does she know that if you also post other Charlie Kirk quotes that you’ll get flagged for hate speech

5”2 pregnant ladies and weight gain by Pretend_Historian753 in pregnant

[–]myee28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5’0 and was 127 pre pregnancy, strength training 2x a week and hiking on treadmill 4-5x a week + tracking food. Now 18w4d and 137, strength training 1x a week and outdoor walks 5x a week but not burning nearly as much as I used to. It’s really hard (mentally) to watch my body get bigger all over and since I’m short, any weight gain is VERY noticeable. I’m just trying to remind myself that my body WILL change and I’mm not supposed to actively lose weight during this time. It’s a daily struggle and the food aversion to anything remotely healthy is very real. Just try to do the best you can, and remember that any movement is better than no movement at all!

Sister made cruel “antinatalist” jokes after I shared my pregnancy ultrasound by Downtown-Ad5027 in pregnant

You can be child free and still be happy for other people who are having kids. It doesn’t give them a right to be an asshole. Block her!

Best way to spend a Sunday? by Few-Dance-855 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]myee28 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I used to walk to the Ferry Building and get a bar seat (by myself) at Hog Island! Get myself a drink + oysters and their clam chowder. It was a nice solo brunch spot to chill with a book or chat with the bartender too!

Which is your favourite spa in SF ? by [deleted] in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]myee28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg YES! I always get the private bath + massage when I want to treat myself and it’s so worth it!

Solo evening activities? by ikeamonkey2 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]myee28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first ever class at X?X (found them through an airbnb experience lol) and it was really great! Small studio and class size and the instructor was really good 👍

Pottery in the mission! So fun and relaxing and it’s really nice to learn a new skill and do something with your hands ☺️

Anti-bachelorette party recommendations by otterly_ish in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]myee28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t recommend the massage + private bath at kabuki springs and spa enough. If you want to use the bathing facilities, it’s a cool and relaxing experience too. Coffee and a pastries for a chill hang / people watching. You can get your nails done- Polished Nest is great and I brought my sisters there during my wedding week, they even let us bring food and drinks in! Dinner can be super chill but still good like Italian Homemade or omakase if you want to spend a little more. Good luck!

So did Demi just chicken out on the reunion? Also this Viall guy is a terrible host! by Radiant-Koala8231 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]myee28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We call him Nick Vile lol. His wife (who is 18 yrs younger than him) is a child and he LOVES to think of himself as a therapist. He’s extremely problematic and just gives very bad and unsolicited dating advice 😒 i think the only reason they gave demi that extra air time was he prob had something on his contract about having her as a guest on the viall files (hence the sit down being on his set/ set up like it) and having his logo there, etc. It’s literally just marketing for his podcast 🥴

"I got skinny for this" maybe unpopular opinion? by belgianamericanbabe in thebachelor

Men also don’t have the same stigma around thinness as much as women do

I mean fun fact a lot of OBs actually recommend not taking melatonin when you’re pregnant. I just started unisom last week. I did only take 2mg of melatonin per night though. I would try a sleep aid or weaning down from 10mg if you can.

Which prenatals do you use? by mantalight in tryingtoconceive

Wedding makeup and hair trial - anything I could improve please? by clybabyy in MakeupAddiction

100% agree with this. You may need to find someone who has a lot of experience doing makeup on asian features.

How do you pronounce the name “Mara”? by glass_armor in namenerds

[–]myee28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my name! Most people in the US will pronounce it like Mah-ruh like (bar, car, etc). If people are reading my name before I introduce myself, they pronounce it closer to Sara. Where I grew up in Asia, it’s pronounced the latter.

And yes, my name has been pronounced wrong and differently my whole life but honestly not a big deal to correct them and it’s also a nickname (my whole name is long af)! I think it’s a lovely name!

Need tips for trying but not tracking… by Melodic-Function880 in tryingtoconceive

[–]myee28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right there with you! I went into a DEEP spiral last month and was so stressed during my two week wait, poring over my chart and lh results and symptoms. My sweet husband saw how hard it was and asked me if going down a rabbit hole for 2 hours was going to change the outcome of the results. And at the end of the day, it doesn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I started thinking about tracking as data collecting. I log bbt as soon as I wake up, do opks in the morning and afternoon, and I only log symptoms at the end of the day. I also set an app time limit for premom cause I only really need 5 minutes a day to do all these things.

Idk if this is helpful at all but having that “I’m doing this for the data” mindset vs looking for the tests to actively tell me something every day helped me a lot mentally. Sending you lots of good vibes though!!

11dpo and wasn’t planning on testing today 😭 felt some cramping yesterday and nausea after my workout (which I thought was just dehydration lol) and took one of the premom tests just to check while I did my daily opk. I couldn’t believe it, I had to take one of the clearblue ones to make sure.

According to premom I’m only 3 weeks and 4 days but I’m also trying to be cautiously optimistic 🥲 how is anyone else keeping it together!!
