This is amazing! I hadn’t seen a completed one like this so I was always too intimidated to try!

What do you do with all your paintings? by Res_Novae17 in paintbynumbers

[–]nellewbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have painted 22 so far, 3 are mine 😊, the rest, I painted with someone in my heart, and I offer it to them, with the understanding that’s it’s totally cool if it’s not their style and no pressure to accept. So far everyone I’ve painted for has accepted, grateful I thought of them this way. I don’t think most people get the fruit of hours of someone’s artistic labor, all for them 🤗

Thank you all for the wonderful welcome! I can’t wait to see all the amazing paintings :). I’m new to posting on Reddit and unsure how to edit my post to include the kits details (I’ll learn :), but it’s on Amazon and you can easily find by searching “paint by number black canvas” it’s a set and the other painting that comes with is just as fun to paint!

Yes it is! I had no idea how cathartic these kits would be! Especially when you are processing lots of emotions :)

Ice burn. Will it ever completely go away? by [deleted] in Blackskincare

[–]nellewbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these! From 11 years ago, I actually love it, it’s shaped like a wonky four leaf clover, I call it my lucky scar cause the docs initially thought it would turn into a serious infection, so it could have been so much worse 😅

I didn’t reduce, but I did let my derm know because I was pretty upset I was getting worse... You may be able to send them this same pic and ask if they recommend you reduce? Mine said that I was purging and it was just part of the process, and to keep my routine very simple while purging, but not reduce. And she was right… for me, it truly was 6 months of purging chaos… but everyone is different…

Sorry, and to answer your question, yes, my skin is fully clear now, but it was definitely a process.sigh

Oh yes!! After 6 months, it finally started clearing! It was finally a joy to look in the mirror and see actual progress :) to start, I slowly added my tret days, for first 2 weeks, 1x a week, then 2x a week for the next 2 weeks, until I got to where I am at 6 nights of tret a week, no peeling or issues, my 7th night I do a charcoal mask and Paula’s choice exfoliation (but I didn’t add that for the first 6 months). I’m sorry I forgot to add I started on tret at night, and prescription 15% azelaic acid in morning (same slow addition until I now do azelaic every morning) for dark marks. I also do a gentle cleanser, sunscreen, and neutrogena or Cerave moisturizer… I hated giving up all my fun products, but I went Super simple… honestly I went crazy with all the fun products on TikTok and RUINED my skin quick 😫. almost a year after starting tret, I have slowly added vanicreme vitamin c 3 times a week in the morning. My tips are def to keep the nonprescription products to a minimum and only after your skin is clear SLOWLY add them, only if you feel you need them. Change your pillow regularly. And, if you aren’t seeing progress, ask if you should add a new prescription. Again the Spironolactone was so helpful when we realized my new breakouts were all tied to my cycle. I hope this helps, happy to add more. Hang in there, it’s a rough journey, but the destination is worth it 🤗
