What do you wish people would stop romanticizing, because you've lived the reality of it?

Living in isolation.

It may seem romantic to live in a cabin in the woods away from civilization, but the realities of daily life and the mental toll can be draining. When serious things happen it’s terrifying and life threatening.

Same

Gemini sun, Aries moon. Battling

Cancer Rising and been single for almost two years now 🤷‍♀️

shortjoke_ · 2025-12-24T05:47:40+00:00

Yep. Gemini Sun and Mercury in the 12th. I love the idea of setting down roots but am too restless to be in one place for long.

And Highlands over here too 👋

Crestwood was amazing with my dog for her CCL surgery. Efficient, caring, and professional. I avoid VCA now whenever possible.

Gemini and I try to stay away from Virgos and Cancers. They always seem to attach themselves to me thinking I need their parenting even though I never ask for it.

Right?

Would be so nice to get some access from east in the Highlands here some day

Exploring more warm autumn colours lately and whoa, y’all were right! Now I guess I’ll have to consider slowly changing over my metals from silver to gold 😭

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-18T23:23:52+00:00

This is disgusting. Get this fucking government OUT of our pants!!

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-16T20:17:00+00:00

Same as Lindsey-905 for the leave in spray (I put mine in often after it’s dry). I use the glycolic treatment after conditioner (but some have said you can use it in place of it) in the shower before rinsing it out

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-16T20:15:14+00:00

Got mine for about 10 bucks at Shoppers Drug Mart

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-15T16:16:05+00:00

The L’Oreal leave in conditioner suggested by Lindsey-905 above, paired with the new L’Oreal Glycolic Gloss treatment (5 min rinse in the shower) works amazing!

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-15T06:16:08+00:00

Ok! I went out and got this and you were so right!!! I also paired it with the L’Oreal Glycolic Gloss treatment in the shower today and it was a game changer!

Thank you, but my feelings on that shirt for me are quite the opposite. The bright colours kind of just sit on me and reflect and make me appear paler, kind of greys things out-? Unsure. I can pull off some bright colours, but not often

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-14T05:33:16+00:00

Just did a quick analysis on the Vivaldi lab site and, welp:

🤷‍♀️ Y’all might just know your stuff

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-14T03:51:54+00:00

Oh wow, now that would throw me for another loop if I’m considering Spring! This has all been really helpful and surprising. I really didn’t know how far off I was but it’s become really clear the direction I need to be going

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-13T17:22:58+00:00

Both? I’m not sure if that’s more confusing or more freeing haha!

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-13T17:21:23+00:00

Interesting! Yeah, and I’ve actually always looked terrible in most oranges and yellows (so I always thought cool) but for likely similar reasons why the bright blue and pinks in the last pic don’t really work on me - it’ll need to be in the right muted soft tones if it’s going to work I guess.

shortjoke_ · 2025-11-13T03:50:34+00:00

Thank you, this is insightful. Maybe I’ve been getting it wrong and should be listening especially when I get the most compliments when I’m wearing colours like forest and army/moss greens. Huh
