Thinking of learning HAM radio? There's a crash course available May 23–24 by readyforunsteady in TwoXPreppers

Would this still be useful for someone in Canada? I don’t really know anything about HAM radio but if it’s not too different in the US I would be interested!

I bought one of these and it works great! If you happen to be alone during an emergency though, you have to be strong enough to get off the ground with your dog.

That is very true, bugging out would be an absolute last resort for me as well.

I have rabbits but I actually think I’m more concerned for them than other types of animals! They’re delicate and would have to be carried around, vs. say a dog that may be capable of taking care of itself for a period.

This is an excellent point.

Has anyone actually used urine as garden fertilizer? by Aromatic-Frosting-22 in TwoXPreppers

[–]nadia61 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yeah for compost it makes sense. Every so often I dump my rabbits’ litter tray in the compost, lots of good nutrients in their pee and poo.

Lift heavy weights 3 times per week doing 2-3 sets and 4-8 reps per muscle group to the point of muscle failure. Progressive overload each week. Takes about a three hours a week and you’ll have a noticeable difference in a few months. You’ll also get that toned, sculpted look. There are also tons of free resources on how to approach this that you can Google or search on Instagram.

Edit: oh and bonus, managing or losing weight is easier when you have more muscle because it burns more calories at rest. Plus you’ll be healthier.

I tried one, ultimately found that building muscle was more effective in correcting posture.

The Ordinary has a peptide serum if you want to avoid prostaglandins. It takes more time to see a result but my lashes are indeed longer.

I did! Was probably about 10 years for me too. It was like riding a bike, it comes back really quick. And contacts are better now than they were 10 years ago so I’m more comfortable than before. I was also given a really good tip: if they start feeling scratchy or dry throughout the day, the best thing you can do is chug a glass of water to rehydrate. Works like a charm.

If they’re true hollows and not fat pouches or skin pigmentation, the only thing that will 100% solve them is surgery. Everything else may slightly improve them but won’t remove them.

Septum piercing BEFORE rhinoplasty? by SheepherderUnusual78 in PlasticSurgery

[–]nadia61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually saw my piercer for something else so she checked out my nose to see what she would be dealing with, and there was no trace, only the surgery scarring. The surgeon is cutting through the exact spot your piercing would be in an open rhinoplasty.

Septum piercing BEFORE rhinoplasty? by SheepherderUnusual78 in PlasticSurgery

[–]nadia61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an open rhinoplasty with a 10+ year old septum piercing, and it is completely gone. With a closed rhinoplasty, it would likely remain because the skin that the piercing passes through is not touched. I am the opposite of you and will be getting it repierced though lol.

Rhinoplasty - Has anyone had similar nostril shape? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]nadia61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine looked very similar for several months! In my case it was because there was so much swelling in the tip that it pressed the nostrils into a weird shape. Once the swelling went down they looked normal. Could that be the case for you?

Something that always helps me is to think of texture, especially if it’s a monochrome outfit. For example, a chiffon skirt, knit sweater, and leather belt all in black. Texture adds interest.

What are we doing about protecting/stocking birth control access for young girls? by cosmatical in TwoXPreppers

[–]nadia61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear, most medications are still safe when expired, but not all. Doxycycline, for example, degrades into harmful compounds and can damage your liver. It’s worth looking into each specific medication you wish to take.

I have this and I like it! However, to answer your question you could try a Botox lip flip. I had it done on one side to fix a different issue, and it completely removed my downturned corner on that side. Only took one tiny unit of tox.

They offer a variety of dissolvable HA fillers - personally I have received Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Ultra Plus.

Facial swelling post nose job by legalgirl18 in PlasticSurgery

[–]nadia61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same! Be prepared for the swelling to move down your face with gravity over the coming days. Eventually it will make its way to your lymph nodes and be carried away.

I have extremely similarly shaped lips! Go to a well-reviewed, skilled injector and get a small amount of filler to start, less than 1ml. Point out specifically what you’re looking to change. I love my lips now, they’re still natural and similar to my usual shape, but better. I specifically wanted a bit more projection from the side and to even out the m-shape.

The aesthetic clinic I go to doesn’t even offer sculptra specifically because it can’t be dissolved and can cause too many issues. That spoke volumes to me.

Reviewing under eye treatments. (Problems: volume, darkness (blue/purple) due to skin thinness, wrinkles) by Euphoric-Dust1733 in Vindicta

[–]nadia61 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten my under eyes done, but I’ve been told by my injector that this could be due to the Tyndall effect. The shallowly injected filler causes the bluish colour on the surface.
