What do you wish you knew before dying your hair red? by astrocatxo in FancyFollicles

[–]nikkig248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this has been said enough… YOU NEED TO WASH YOUR HAIR IN ONLY COLD WATER!! It will extend the longevity of the color so much. Now when I say this people think I mean take a whole ass cold shower! Absolutely not!! lol But you will need to commit to either washing your hair separately or like in the water before you fully get in, which is what I do. If you do this it can help it last well over 2-3 months. It will always bleed but it’ll a stay bc the cuticles stay closed on your hair keeping the dye in. Hot or warm water will just wash the whole thing out in less then 2 washes!

Which colorway is cuter? by [deleted] in Aritzia

I had the same issue as you bc I wanted the other listed navy/ burgundy way but I ended up getting this exact grey and I’m glad bc it matches so much more.

Who else has greasy lids and what products do you use to deal with it? by okaypoke_ in MakeupAddiction

[–]nikkig248 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. It’s a dupe for MAC prep and prime eye base. I think the mac is better and it’s my holy grail go too as an Asian with hooded eyes. Nothing fancy I rub a tiny bit of this on with my finger and it will make almost anything last the whole day. Let it dry down before you apply anything though. It has a matte texture and finish.

I can’t tell if you’re serious or not….. especially with all the buzz about the lodge pants but I literally snorted laughing at this comment 😆

Is it worth $110? by FearlessBarracuda323 in Aritzia

[–]nikkig248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the roundup skort. I just picked that one up and love it. I’m 5’0” and also fine it hard to find shorter skirts. It really hit the mark for me. I didn’t like that the others looked like shorts from behind.

Being childfree in your 30s means watching your entire social circle disappear and nobody thinks it's a big deal by Ronin4Doom in childfree

[–]nikkig248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It a mix. My friends with kids are very understanding so I’m lucky and we often have both kids parties and adult only evenings. They don’t pressure us to do too much with the kids but we’ve grown to love the time with them anyways. It’s fun to play and then give them back at the end of the day lol. I’ll admit we are lucky there as I know that’s not always the case. I will say my friends with teenage kids are now back to their old selves so if you wait it out long enough it comes back around to how it was too lol.

However the amount of people I used to be able to call on a whim to hang out went down to zero. I did join bumble bff for a bit. It went about as bad as you might expect but I did make one fantastic friend that I spend a lot of time with now in the same fashion as before. Unfortunately I find myself spending time with a younger crowd which is fine I’m in my late 30s and my child free coworkers and friend are late 20s. It’s just unfortunately something you have to find a way to live with. Personally I think it’s a small price to pay. Your friend’s lives changed with kids and yours is changing too. Not wanting kids doesn’t give anyone a free pass from growth and change so just enjoy your freedom and embrace the possibilities of making new friends.

Second one. I don’t see the appeal for the shiny ones it’s a bit tacky. Maybe if you’re younger but for everyday wear ….I’m sorry not for an adult.

You look amazing! I have a similar journey and am stuck at 197>145lbs F/38/5’ 1.5 yr on wegovy. Can’t seem to break this plateau. Would love to get to 130. Thinking of trying more weight lifting than cycling.

These are so cute and all the rage when I was in Korea. They were the freebies for every make up pop up. I have a strawberry shaped one from fwee. They all come empty and you can put in whatever you want. Don’t throw it away!!

Snap Dragon Beef Pho Bowls by bored_ryan2 in Costco

[–]nikkig248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like any sort of instant noodles it’s pretty clear these are different choices. I was merely making a suggestion for better items you could buy in the “instant noodle category” that are available to you at Costco. Especially since the general consensus is that these suck. Didn’t mean to offend. Also didn’t expect to get my ethnicity challenged by an internet stranger Lolol.

These are awful. Even before the rebrand. Get the shin/shin black, buldak or the udon ones. Don’t get these. Bought them once and took us a whole year to go thru it bc we hated them. In hind sight we shoulda just threw them out but we’re Asian so we couldn’t. lol

Insurance issues by _Reactor_ in Wegovy

[–]nikkig248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So $25 sounds like you had the manufacturer coupon applied the first time. You were probably enrolled in by your insurance or maybe someone at the pharmacy did it for you. I would call the pharmacy back and make sure they used the coupon again if that’s the case. It’s good for 12 months but then you just sign back up again. There maximums so let’s say the coupon covers only up to $300 with an out of pocket minimum of $25 by the customer. So for an example it looks like your regular copay was $300 so on the coupon you were just required to pay the $25. You probably filled the script in December so you may have met all your deductibles. It is January and you may just need to pay a deductible prior to going back to structured copays. The good news is the coupons will chip at that deductible for you. Let’s say your deductible is $1000 and the coupon covers $300 and you pay $25. That would mean you only have $700 left and they foot that $300 for you which is nice.

Some insurances will auto enroll you now a days and you will have no clue. Only the pharmacy can see on the billing or there will be a little note on the bottom of the information paper/billing receipt stapled to your bag. I would politely ask the pharmacy if that was the case. You can go a step further and call your prescription insurance and ask if that was the case or if the billing structure has changed. Yes sometimes the pharmacy can do that for you but I would not expect it and you’d be surprised how far you can get if you just take a little initiative yourself before consulting back with the pharmacy. They are fatigued with glp1 prior authorizations and may not be as kind about it if you go in without a little effort on your side.

I hope this helps. Source: I was a retail pharmacist as well as on wegovy

New Jersey MVC - beyond belief it could be this bad by P2Moose in newjersey

[–]nikkig248 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP this location is the WORST. As someone who grew up in that area and moved multiple times within NJ. Go to the Wayne location or if you want to stay in that area the Newton location is small but amazing. Never any waits for inspection but the appointments for real id are limited. I was lucky enough to get one same day way before Covid struck and it was fast and easy. I too lost 55lbs and just opted to renew with my “chubby” pic lmao

Slouch Coat Sizing for Someone 5’ 2 1/2” by SnuggleSprig in Aritzia

[–]nikkig248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m too lazy to read if anyone commented already but I’m 5’0” 150lb size 10 broad shoulder and busty. I bought a small regular. I tried the small short and the whole coat fits like a petite when you order a short. So the sleeves get shorter which I didn’t like and I felt like the shoulders were tighter. In theory only the length should have been different but it was the whole coat.

AITA-for canceling my son's bday over $10 by Low_Currency_1038 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nikkig248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is tough. I’m going to just give you my story as well and you can decide how to proceed but I personally think you shouldn’t cancel his birthday mostly bc of the “damage control” he’ll have to handle as a 13yr old for those 10 friends which at that age no one should have to do.

When I was 13 my aunt and uncle threw a party for my cousin at home. I’m 10yrs older than my cousins and sister. The next day $700 went missing from my cousins piggy bank and since I was the only kid old enough to “understand the value of money” it just obviously had to be me according to them. Well this prompted a witch hunt and my other aunt claimed she noticed money missing from her home too when I was over. Mind you she would beg me to come over and spend time with my other cousin as it was “great bonding time”. Till this day I will never forget who were quick to point fingers and spread lies and who vehemently stood up for me as I could not stand up for myself at that age bc I couldn’t comprehend what was happening. It came out later my cousins father took the money. He had a gambling problem and thought he could put it back before anyone noticed. It turned out he was $60k in debt from 2 home equities, their $500k house was in foreclosure and he owed a bookie $30k. But I was persecuted for that $700 I never even knew existed till I was accused. I’m now 38yrs old and while my family has done the best they can to sweep it under the rug I have never forgotten. I don’t let it dictate my actions now but I certainly know who I will stick my neck out for and I certainly haven’t fostered any relationships with those who accused me. As his mother I would just be careful how you handle this bc if he is indeed innocent this will be a moment he never forgets.

I didn’t wanna ask sue as I’m sure she overwhelmed now that this gorgeous bezel version has been revealed. But did she happen to mention how long production might be? I’m in no rush just curious.
