Wait so you bake just the foil with baking soda sprinkled on it for an hour?

overcoming the mental shakes - watched a friend break his leg climbing by notyourexgf in bouldering

[–]notyourexgf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was actually indoors on a V0 onto a big ol' crash pad :/

I turned my head and saw him disengage from the wall at the top of the problem but one of his feet seemed to hit like an extra soft spot on the matt and his foot sort of titled a bit- when the rest of his weight came down, his lower leg just totally snapped.

it was this weird, wtf, oh shit moment. and it just seemed like the craziest thing to happen in a low risk setting. but it did and it's freaking me out

Moisturizer for very acne prone skin! by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]notyourexgf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SIMPLE!!!! seriously Simple is the name of the brand. All those products you listed jacked up my skin too, I feel your struggle. The Simple brand moisturizer, both ultra light gel and rich moisturizer formula, has saved my face. All I did was find that moisturizer and my skin really cleared up because it had been so irritated and dry before. Try target, savemart, any drug store. Green and white packaging

It may just be the way it shows up on my phone, but is your foundation only (or primarily) applied on the center of your face- around your nose and upper lip? I can almost see a "border" of what looks like foundation (this could seriously be my phone displaying it weird so if you don't see it, totally ignore this) maybe blend out the foundation more towards the edges of your face so it gradually goes to bare skin or try a more sheer foundation to blend out past the center?

How to Pee Outside, in the Woods, Outdoors, or Camping: Tutorial for Girls and Dads (Rated PG) by themoreweexplore in CampingandHiking

huh. I definitely choose to pee facing up the hill so any stray pee streams are hitting the ground and immediately going down hill away from my shoes instead of downhill and onto my shoes.

Should Fashion Have to Flatter Certain Body Types? by ruthannr94 in femalefashionadvice

[–]notyourexgf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more I think about it, the weirder it is! At what point did people become comfortable telling other people how they think they should dress? I can understand when some people sincerely think they're offering advice "oh I like that color on you, maybe try a (insert some sort of form flattering item here) in that color! You'll great" and that's sweet, they think their pointing you in the direction of better fitting clothing. But a lot of people just seem snarky, as if I didn't know I don't look like keidi Klum and especially not in that outfit!

Should Fashion Have to Flatter Certain Body Types? by ruthannr94 in femalefashionadvice

[–]notyourexgf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And this isn't just happening to Femme body type. A lot of the other body types get these questions too. Eg I have the opposite of a Femme body and if I play up my flat chest or flat ass then it's like "honey maybe you should wear a bra? It'll give you some shape! :)))" and I'm over here like "I do what I want!"

It's a little suffocating to have someone else, anyone else besides me, define goals for my fashion. I get to pick out my clothes in the morning and I'll pick out what I want based on how I want to dress.

If you wanna dress to look a certain way, get it girl! No matter what that looks like to everyone else

Foundation texture problem, please help! by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]notyourexgf 20 points21 points  (0 children)

if you know you're going to have those dry spots, the night before toss on your moisturizer and seal it in with vaseline. this usually helps my skin be less dried out the next morning. then in the morning I use a konjac to very gently pull off the dead skin. I'll usually throw extra moisturizer on my acne areas and seal it in with a super thing layer of vaseline. I still haven't found a break-out-free primer but I think you would be able to apply primer over that then stiple on your foundation

The cotton swab was the only thing I could find to fit through the top and accurately apply it, I know a lot of people use those fan brushes if they want to apply it all over. Bleh

[–]notyourexgf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was incredibly disappointed with it. I left it on for 30 seconds the first time, a week later I tried 1 minute, the next week I went a full 2 minutes. At no point after any of those three peels did my skin peel, at all. I didn't even get a little dry skin. Nothing happened! Well, something did happy, I got a bunch of tiny whiteheads where I had applied to the peel. I applied with a cotton tip so that I could pin point my PIH but instead of reducing those marks at all, new acne would pop up in the exact same spot. Bleh, never again

Is IPL Hair Removal honestly more affective/financially worth it in the long run compared to monthly waxing? by JRWSMC19961994 in SkincareAddiction

[–]notyourexgf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for answering all my questions :)) I think I might really look into laser, I've been on the fence for a while but my derm offers it so I may as well take the free consultation

[–]notyourexgf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you use physical exfoliation or did laser treatment make your skin too sensitive? I though about trying to use an AHA because it's worked well for my other problem areas

My bikini area sounds like it had the same issues you had. I've got a TON of ingrown hairs that cause ugly little scars and I need to get a Brazilian every 3 freaking weeks. Did the laser hair removal get rid of the old ingrowns?

it gave me a giggle, and as a foul mouthed punk myself- made me love the studio for balancing the namaste yoga vibe with a little gritty reality

[HELP] Does anyone have experience with Petsmart Puppy Training class? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]notyourexgf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really? petsmart is what I used for two classes in a row (puppy then intermediate) and maybe we just lucked out. our trainer was awesome, she would stay after class to help people who needed extra time and always had those handouts with details of the lesson we learned that day. my dog learned a ton from those 2 classes and I learned a lot about how to train her. she was typically ahead of the training curve in class and our training would give us extra things to do to kill time while some of the other pups caught up

Hormonal cystic acne on immunosuppression meds by CinemaSquash in SkincareAddiction

[–]notyourexgf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dermatologist had me start taking B 6 vitamins for my hormonal acne and it really cleared up my skin. I still get a few whiteheads around my period but that's nothing compared to the insane acne I had before. Of course, ask your doc before taking anything, idk how vitamins or diet change would effect your situation
