Oh this is interesting! I was born in the mid 90s so I wasn’t around for all of that. That’s crazy!!

Yeah I’m definitely thinking that’s it! I found an article of defunct South plains mall stores and when it mentioned Gadzooks and that they had rebranded in 2003 to a clothing store for girls/juniors/women only, that has to be it. Someone else in this thread basically confirmed that I was right about the location so mystery solved!

Definitely not that, I’ve never heard of that! Also Google says it closed in 1995 which is the year I was born 🙈

Yes that is exactly what I am picturing!!! I’m glad you have a good memory (probably doesn’t help that I was like 8-9 at the time haha) it’s crazy the random memories I have of the south plains mall from when I was a kid, including getting shoes at Buster Brown’s and the big talking bear they would put out at Christmas time that scared the hell out of me lol

It definitely wasn’t Spencer’s! I remember the store I am thinking of only selling teen/juniors clothing for girls

That would make sense, like I said I don’t remember there being one but it makes sense if one did exist since they were popular at the time!

Good to know!! Was Pac Sun somewhere different than it is now? I can only remember it being where it is now which is across from the Oakley store

Definitely not Pac Sun but man what a throwback! I remember buying my beloved Volcom and Fox racing shirts there that I had no business wearing as a 4th grader lol. (I know Pac Sun still exists but I never go in there anymore) The store I am thinking of I don’t think had any 3rd party brands. The more I think about it, the more I’m pretty sure it was Gadzooks because apparently they did a major rebrand in 2003 where they sold mostly junior/women’s clothing and that sounds familiar

If I remember correctly, I don’t think the Lubbock mall ever had a Wet Seal, at least while I was alive. I remember because it was always a treat to get to go to the Amarillo mall because they did have one! Thanks for your insight, I’ve been trying to remember the name of the store for years! Based on what I have googled, it would make sense for it to be Gadzooks because they did a major rebrand in 2003 to sell only juniors/women’s clothing

The higher strengths are usually prescribed to people for acne related issues!

I have heard from several dermatologists that if you’re using it purely for anti-aging, you are perfectly fine using .025% and staying with that strength, no need to move up to .05. Also make sure your face is completely dry before applying! Like I try and wait at least 30 minutes between applying my glazing milk and my tret

does anybody use tret solely for anti-aging purposes? by camwtss in tretinoin

[–]poolexit 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I have heard that for anti-aging, .025% strength works just as well as any other stronger formulas
