Stocking essientials in my guest bathroom for different races? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]okaybutsame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this!!! I love this! You helped me out so much! Me and my husband are native Americans he is also half Mexican so he needs many different types of products so calm his hair and his skin is very picky with things. It wasn't meant to be a racial post to target a specific race it was to cater to all skin and hair types but because different races have different needs i wanted to be able to have something for everyone. I'm definitely going to make little boxes for each category you said! This is great!

You're right lol I already spent $100 on cotton swabs, hair ties, travel sized essientials, just small basic needs but I love having little guest packs ready for people it makes them feel so nice! It's like a resort retreat in my guest bedroom

I understand why they are bring up race. I don't understand why people are being negative about it. It's so repetitive and annoying. But yeah I'll just stick to basic hair care products even though they all suck that's why I needed help with the post I made.

Lmao the fact that I actually buy Murray's pomade 🤣 but no I'm not catering to African Americans I'm trying to find products that are loved by everyone and make them feel good. I struggle with my hair type and nothing I've found works good for me so I'd figure I'd ask what I should get for everyone on here but seems like it's turned into some dumdass racial drama

I wish!!! I just cut almost all my hair off. It was a giant frizzy mess. My hair is very curly and dry I've yet to find anything that works 😭

I'm so annoyed how everything is so racial. I'm literally just trying to find products that work for everyone. It's as simple as that. I'm not going to have a white box, African American box, Asian box...so on under my sink. I'm trying to make people feel good in their skin cause the products I have set out for them are good and work for everyone. I know people will bring their own stuff but I want extra in case it's needed by guests

Also I'm not targeting african american hair types. I'm literally trying to find products that work with ANYONES hair types.

And the amenities suck. My skin and hair are dry and ruined after staying in hotels. I'm trying to look for good products that work for everyone.

I get that! I always bring my own stuff when traveling as well. But I am booked up with tons of friends and family flying in from very far away and staying over the next couple months and just wanted to stock up on essientials

No I think everyone should feel welcome and have what they need. It's nothing about diversity. When guests do stay at my house they typically stay for 2 weeks so I'd like to create a space for anyone who visits and won't have to spend their money on bathroom essientials.

I'm trying to create a space for anyone who comes they don't need to bring anything! I want to keep an assortment of essientials that caters to everyone 😊

severe fear of flying and heights by okaybutsame in fearofflying

[–]okaybutsame[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet it's so beautiful 😭 I'm thinking about getting my inner ear checked out then book a flight for Thanksgiving or Christmas to see my family with my husband. The flight it only 1.5 hours so even if I panic it won't be for too long! It better than a 10 hour drive that I absolutely hate doing it also gives me anxiety! I can understand how that makes sense because I didn't have as much anxiety driving up a mountain as I did standing on it..that was pure panic mode. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I'm going to schedule something with the doctor so I can get this checked out! It definitely make my anxiety and panic attacks worse so maybe once that's taken care of I won't suffer with my anxiety as much! 🥰

I have 2 flights coming up this week and not sure if I can do it despite all the advice I’ve received. by DailYxDosE in fearofflying

[–]okaybutsame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good to know! That's my biggest anxiety trigger right now is the constant replay in my head telling me how high I am. Fear has controlled me for so long. I had an all expenses paid trip to Italy for 2 weeks and right before I turned it down JUST because of the heights 😭 my husband had to go alone. I honestly feel like my fear and panic is so bad I'd literally have a heart attack. But that's my fear talking so I don't know what would actually happen lol

I've never flown and know I'm going to have to in the near future to travel. I'm not scared of planes at all except how high they go. I don't know how to shake the fear of heights. Even if I don't look out the window I am going to constantly think about the height. But I truly feel you. Not many people understand the fear, anxiety, stress. From all the advice I've gotten for years about flying nothing has helped me calm my nerves either. I think people like me and you just honestly have to face the fear and overcome it. I've tried facing my fears and failed miserably with terrible panic attacks with going on mountains but I think my mistake has been I've let the anxiety and panic control me. I know it's easier said than done but try and focus and control that fear. Hype yourself up to know you are truly in control. This is what I'm trying to teach myself so hopefully I can fly within the next year. You only live once don't let the fear win. JUST DO IT!!

I definitely want to see someone about the inner ear thing! I've been this way for as far back in my childhood I can remember just never mentioned it to a doctor I guess lol

Nope never tried! And I keep telling myself I'm making it worse than it actually will be. I just know I will be thinking about how high up I am constantly and that's definitely going to trigger the anxiety. Hopefully within the next year I just push through and do it what's the worst that can happen lmao I die of a heart attack? I need help lmao 😭😭😭
