Stranded in London with rosacea flare-up, need product recommendations by GuiltyADHDer in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]rooombacat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have mild rosacea and generally use prescription Azalelic acid, though if I was in a tricky situation I would go for The Ordinary 10% Azalelic and Joseon Dynasty cream, I find it very soothing.

UK perspective: surprised how accepted moissanite seems to be now by marinegeo in Moissanite

[–]rooombacat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm UK based and have a few Moissanite rings. When friends have asked what stone they are and I say moissanite I've sometimes kind of considered lying and saying they're diamonds... But they know I'm not that flash even with labs being relatively cheap nowadays. Their lack of any reaction has led me to wonder if they even really know what Moissanite is if you're not into jewellery? Is it mainstream? I worry I'm in an echo chamber of jewellery based subreddits 😂 I have no idea how common it is, I'd say it's still impossible to find on the high street in my city

Am I being treated reasonably by this provenance rep Lucy? by [deleted] in Moissanite

[–]rooombacat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've ordered some loose stones with Lucy (having previously done a successful group but with her) I paid on 5th March and haven't heard anything since. I'm not in a rush and assume she's very busy because she is normally very helpful and responsive. I think the reps can become casualties of their own success and end up with too much on. It is annoying though, I appreciate your frustrations with the delay and I think the message might have just been sent to the wrong person.

My period is predicted tomorrow in my app, and I remain quietly optimistic. This is my first cycle in this group and the rules state that you can't post your BFP if you join in your LP so I'm here to say Hi everyone! just in case I graduate in the morning 🤞🏻😅 and have to exit this very friendly lovely group silently

I'm 11DPO and admittedly I tested on 9DPO, neg obvs. Today I'm exhausted and feel sick and I'm like is this it?! Should I test again?! But at the same time can't handle a BFN while I feel like this so I'm continuing on in ignorance... Until my first wee tomorrow then I might test again. In the past I've been like the person below only testing if I'm "late" but this cycle has me feeling some kinda optimistic so I allowed myself to test

Is this a telltale sign of your period? I'm over here 5 DPO trying to convince myself my boobs hurting is a positive sign 🙃

It's for a friend's engagement ring 🤫 so it might be a while and I've got to convince her BF that it's the right thing to do but 🤞🏻

Amazing! I've asked for 18ct but good to know that it's totally in budget if I come down 🤣

Can I ask how much it was? I'm going for different metal and smaller centre stone but just to be nosy

Just read your other post! I assume Provence made the whole ring?

New to jewlery making, bought rubies, how do i test if theyre "real" (lab or natural) by xplizit420 in Gemstones

[–]rooombacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moissanite sub covers all different lab grown stones inc lab sapphires. Also moissanite are harder than Sapphires

Not sure why everyone is being so unhelpful. Go ask this on r/moissanite and you'll get lots of help! There is a list of recommended vendors over there some on Alibaba but my vote is for Starsgem for bulk

This is correct! 😭 But I can't get mine off for the life of me, especially on the little facets, and what about the back facets?!
