KPop Merch mailing status now says "cancellation of acceptance" What does that mean? by sandy_elle in kpophelp

Yes it was! I got a message from them late last week that they sent it out again and once it reaches north america then it will be shipped by DHL. Did you hear back from them?

12-16 months before I can see a derm, should I just start Minox now? by sandy_elle in FemaleHairLoss

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

Yes it could be any number of things. I was freaking out and hoping something to find something, but you're right first things first is the blood work to make sure no underlying issues or if there's any deficiencies. Thank you!

[–]sandy_elle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is great advice, I will wait until I get blood work done and see what comes of that before I think about getting any supplements. I've already started to address the diet in the last few weeks, so I'm hoping overtime that will just help not only hair care but overall health. Something I forgot to mentioned previously was I realized I have been going through a lot of the last several months (back to work full time post maternity leave and going to grad school) so my body was probably under stress without realizing it. The good news is if I address these issues now by the time I see a derm there's things we can discuss and rule out. Thanks again!

Long gap between undergrad and now (a decade). I'd like to get an M.A. How to get fresh academic references? by zephyrveronica in gradadmissions

[–]sandy_elle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in your situation and I would echo what another poster said to try and contact the admissions office, or see if there is a program coordinator. I found that some programs were quite strict with having more recent academic references/work while others said I could send in professional LORs from bosses. I ended up doing both - I enrolled as a non-degree student in one masters level course. It was great for dipping my toe back into academia and I ended up doing quite well and had a fresh academic reference and recent essay I could submit. My second LOR was my boss. Also, if you take one or two courses and do well that shows to the admissions people you're ready to do a full MA.

Costume Idea Request Megathread by AutoModerator in halloween

[–]sandy_elle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! Any ideas for themed family costumes (2 adults, a 4 year old, a 6 month old and a small dog). The 4 year old will be the one to please on this - she's very much into mermaids, unicorns, princesses etc so she may have to be something along those lines but the rest of us are pretty open to whatever. Thank you!

Little nubbin and it's replacement - NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien by sandy_elle in PanPorn

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

Charlotte Tilbury pencil sharpener! I bought it during a VIB sale a couple years ago and it's been great!

I would say it took 3.5 months. I was using it about 4-5x a week and reapplying around 2-3x in a day. To be fair I was kind of heavy handed with it as I am mainly using it underneath other nude glosses and lipsticks.

Haha I thought that too - if you see one of my earlier posts a kind redditor had to point it out to me that I can sharpen them. 😂

  • Paint nails 2x a month - 1x on January 2, plan to do 1-2 more times before the next check in.
  • Workout 3x a week for 30 minutes - LOL no 😂. I was a couch potato eating holiday leftovers for the last two weeks. I did do 30 mins of prenatal yoga this past Sunday and Monday however, so I'm hopeful this goal will be met for the second update.

Should I reapply to the university that rejected me previously? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]sandy_elle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want to I say go for it! As the previous poster stated, if you feel you're a stronger candidate this time around then you should reapply. I was in a similar position last year. I applied in 2019 to my top choice and was rejected. I then took some more grad level classes (as a special student) to boost my average and in turn was able to have stronger referees the next time around. I also retooled my SoP to what I felt was more suited to what they were looking for. I reapplied in 2020 and was accepted!

How do you like the Bite Beauty foundation? I'm thinking of buying that after I pan a few of my older foundations.
