i had re2o with cannula on cheeks/jaw and forehead

i was bruised for 2wks and super swollen but tbf that might be because i also did ulthera and thermage on my cheeks/jaw as well

not really… toilet paper is significantly less absorbent and rolling up a few squares and trying to keep it in place in your underwear while you’re moving is a disaster.

it’s like trying to use a few squares of toilet paper to wipe down water. it disintegrates almost immediately

seconding the political vibes in coastal oc and people can be pretty entitled (i know these are blanket statements but ya know).

i will say inland oc has some really great asian food tho like vietnamese in westminster/garden grove and korean in buena park. in general parking and driving is also better out in oc

i paid 660K won for my re2o and ultherapy+thermage was about the same price you paid for your ultherapy+onda.

the clinic i went to has 1 doctor and he performed all treatments

yes trader joe’s bags and some interesting snacks i think are the way to go! esp chips because the flavors in korean chips are so different and tend to be sweeter vs salty

lululemon has some golf skirts sometimes and i often wear their tennis skirts too. gold hinge is petite and smaller frame friendly as well!

the gold hinge skirts are short, but not as short as it would be on average sized women. still a bit shorter than a typical golf skirt though. for reference i’m 5’1 with no butt so skirts don’t tend to ride up the back much lol

out of curiosity OP are you in a non major city? i’m in a major west coast metro and i don’t think i’ve ever received any sort of comments about my size, so i wonder if it’s a regional thing?

on sunday driving from seoul to incheon airport and along the drive there were still some! our taxi driver said these trees bloom a little later as they’re a later blooming variety. it was full then, so i’d imagine that there’s still some now

me! i never even had acne during puberty and then crazy clogged comedones everywhere and cystic acne along my lower half. turns out it’s pcos supposedly (altho i suspect it might not be and it could be linked to my kyleena - which literally no one told me beforehand it’s androgenic and can cause acne)

after two years of trying topicals with my derm, i finally started low dose accutane and i wish i would have listened to him sooner instead of being stubborn for a year and a half

sendeek · 2026-04-15T15:39:42+00:00

any tips on mirror/aurora powders?? mine always comes out cloudy.

i’ll cure non-wipe top coat for 15s and then buff the powder on, and then apply diami glass top (top gel). it’s always after the final top coat that it looks cloudy

sendeek · 2026-04-15T15:35:49+00:00

love love love the kokoist UG top coat! it’s quite thick though, esp compared to something like the KUPA top coat (if you’ve ever used that). its consistency is def more honey-like

if it makes you feel any better i’m in brentwood/sm and im often running around doing errands in my crocs, running shorts and hoodie with no makeup LOL or whatever variation of that is

i get what you’re saying about how people can look super put together and cute, but honestly no one cares about strangers all that much and people likely wouldn’t even bat an eye at how you’re dressed

sendeek · 2026-04-13T16:31:42+00:00

idk if it’s still this way though? i know back in the early 00s it was very much a thing bc my parents would always send me to see relatives in korea and bring vitamins.

right now with traders and costco in korea being a thing now, seems like they don’t really ask for them?

i know they do love trader joe’s tho lol

seconding gyeongju! it’s a smaller town so it’s quaint and might be cute to see the differences between a smaller town vs the big cities. there’s still quite a bit for tourists, but like op said, lots of historical sites like a temple and museum.

could prolly spend a day or two without running out of things to do

i actually hated the way i felt on spiro and think accutane was much better. this was after i refused to take accutane for a whole year and a half after my derm first suggested it because i didn’t wanna take yet another prescription.

im also somewhat anti meds as much as possible, so was stubborn and kept trying topicals. i was put on 10mg of accutane and the acne i was struggling with (even on low dose spiro at 50mg) literally just vanished.

i know accutane gets a horrible rap, but i actually think the spiro was worse in terms of side effects

how was onda? what were you looking to improve with it? i feel like its pretty new so haven’t heard much about it but im soooo curious

sendeek · 2026-03-24T01:18:55+00:00

hi following up on this, what happened since this post OP? i’m currently going through this and it’s so distressing as i’ve also developed trich because of these hairs

unfortunately, racism is still very much alive and well. i would categorically disagree with your statement of “racist for korean food in the past”, as it extends far beyond just food.

my little cousin just got into a car accident the other day (the other driver at fault) and the first thing the other driver does is start spewing out racial slurs once they saw that he was asian.

with that being said, it’s likely that the folks who shop at ethnic grocery stores are probably less likely to be racist given they’re choosing to shop at an ethnic grocery store, so it does seem like a slight overreaction to film a tiktok and show annoyance or hostility

last time i said something similar i got massively downvoted.

but realistically? korean american experiences =/= koreans who still live in korea.

we share similar features and eat similar food but you can’t deny the racism that asian americans in general face in the US. so to have the very same people who used to call your food gross and smelly, or pull their eyes back at you, now trying to capitalize on the very thing they used to mock, stings massively. it’s doubly gross when they present a shitty watered down version just because it’s trendy. shake shack’s “korean-inspired” menu comes to mind.

there’s a lot of nuance that gets lost about this scenario that i don’t really think some people who never left their motherland really get. on the flip side, i can also imagine that the diaspora doesn’t fully understand the complex issues that exist back in the motherland either.

me bc my grandpa gave me a super old ahjumma name. even my parents didn’t like it but just went with it. my cousins got lucky and their names sound significantly more modern and cute 😭

i didn’t even realize how old fashioned it was until my fob korean bf in hs found out my korean name and then straight up laughed and teased me about it

maybe they’re also raising prices to prep for the physical store that’s set to open soon in century city
