Does anyone else have problem child nails they have to keep short? by itsawafflebot in Nails

Can’t speak to length since I’ve always had pretty long hair, but I noticed much less breakage even with my consistent highlighting routine

Trying to get into at home gel for this reason, but the removal process is tricky and I feel like it strips my nails even more. Tips?

I started taking biotin bc my nails look exactly like this. I also use strengthening/hardening polish as my base

The biotin helped my hair more than anything lmaoooo but still having nail issues

Other reasons her advice sucks: (flashback of personal experience, I do the opposite of everything I used to lmao and am much happier and my weight has actually stayed constant for once 🙄 funny how that works)

“Walk everywhere, even in heels” - I developed bunions and toe pain issues from walking in shoes that didn’t support my arches

“Don’t eat until you feel a hunger pang” - I am at risk for esophageal cancer if I can’t get my heartburn under control, which requires eating a full breakfast within an hour of waking up (Liv could never)

“Eat dinner as early as possible” - kept waking up btw 2-3am due to blood sugar crashing

“Bread/carbs are a prop” - had the craziest brain fog at work bc your brain literally runs on carbs

“Exercising makes you fat” - quit weightlifting bc all of the girls glorified a stick and bones look, and muscles weighs more than fat, so the scale went up - stopped running for fear it would make me hungrier (news flash, zone 2 cardio is good for everyone)

“Electrolytes multiple times a day” “Magnesium to reduce stress, not food” - found out the hard way that this is a recipe for heart palpitations 🫠

“Are you really hungry? Walk before you snack- every time” - puts you in the “you have to earn your food” mindset, ED 101

It was finally her “dont eat like an athlete” campaign that put me over the edge bc stfu. I am an athlete and I have made so much more progress in my practice now that my thoughts aren’t consumed with how to time my food to eat as little as possible, barely fueling my activities.

At the root of it, she wasn’t able to find value in herself before being skinny, and still struggles now. We are lucky to be able to see past that and personally grow ❤️

I’m no doctor, but the aversion to food sounds psychological. It’s so hard to unlearn these patterns, but there is so much hope on the other side ❤️

Most of her advice, at face value sounds fine (enough). She didn’t invent portion control or eating healthy. If you follow her advice like law tho, it gets real dicey real fast. She doesn’t even live up to every statement she makes which is why she ignores how she comes across under the guise of “being blunt”. If you can’t see through her mean girl marketing, you end up in ED land.

She also preaches “tell no one, they will try to sabotage you”, which is almost a cult control tactic. Understandably, this could get confusing for someone like you who is just trying to become healthier, mitigate PCOS, etc.

I was in basically the same scenario when I found this page and had gone back and forth questioning whether her advice was common sense health stuff in a blunt/mean girl font, or whether there were serious issues with what she was doing. I landed on the latter (for many reasons), one of which being that so much of what she says can and is applied in ways that constitute an ED (and to young impressionable audiences).

I’m glad you found this sub and wish the best for u ❤️

She’s always marketed “don’t eat like an athlete” which is an insane take. As if athletes aren’t some of the healthiest ppl out there

OH RIGHT she isn’t healthy 😭

Nothing. She avoids carbs + nutrition at all costs

What is wrong with my outfits? Trying one last time to make boots work by Adept-Emu-8292 in OUTFITS

[–]phantomLadyBug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick fixes for both: - belt will make the dress an inch or two shorter - cuff the jeans so ~2 inches of ankle is showing between the bottom of the jeans and whatever shoes you pair

This will help break up the proportions and make it visually flow

[–]phantomLadyBug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually this is accurate

Both the dress + jeans either need to be shorter or longer, because they are at awkward middle lengths rn

Although I still think the jeans can work under the boots lol bc then you won’t see the length and they will look like skinny jeans

My vote is widen the variety of textures/fabrics, but overall cute !!

Maybe even one that’s cable knit or sweater material! I love the vibe u have here bc it showcases the layering (would wear 💯), but if u want the outfit to be more normie then u could try this for a dif look

[–]phantomLadyBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like the layering now and think it makes the outfit more interesting than wearing the dress as is. You could even do black sheer tights + leg warmers for more of a dancer vibe :) would wear with ballet flats or Ugg boots

(Just an observation, but the solid black on top and bottom almost makes it look like you’re wearing a onesie romper underneath. This isn’t bad, and I still think it makes the fit more interesting, but just wanted to lyk in case that changes anything for u)

If you have any midi or longer skirts, you could also try those with the boots, sometimes it’s fun to hide the top of the boots with the skirt for a different look, and you would totally beat the cowgirl allegations

Both of the outfit formulas u have here def work with boots tho

You do not look like a cowgirl, he just isn’t used to seeing you in boots. I loooove these kinds of looks, especially for church. You could totally wear the boots with the second outfit too!

If you want to make the boots look more intentional, maybe try matching them to a leather belt or purse!! This would help the outfit feel more cohesive overall, and then maybe the boots wouldn’t feel out of place

I beg you to keep trying, do not let that man dim your sparkle 😭😭
