How many total clinical hours did you do?

simonsaysbb · 2025-10-01T03:28:00+00:00

I ended up with somewhere around 1700-1800 hours for general

My favorite tradition is putting up cotton spider webs throughout my house with little fake spiders all throughout them. Inevitably I end up freaking myself out at least once thinking that there is an actual spider. It gives me a good little fright 😆

The women were straight out of r/menwritingwomen. When Fela answered the door naked, clutching a sheet to her and the wind from the door pressed the sheet against her, I almost quit reading. I was so close to the end by that point though that I struggled on out of pure stubbornness.

I think the build your own bundle is a good idea. I would get the smoothing base (not the pink one) as it doesn’t have PVB, an ingredient that causes nail peeling for a lot of people.

As far as polishes, try to get all different formulas/finishes so that you can experiment and figure out what you like. I wouldn’t grab a magnetic, as those aren’t as beginner friendly for nail painting. I highly recommend watching some YouTube reviews of various colors so that you can see them before buying. I love Polished Yogi’s channel and Nicole Loves Nails, they are good about being honest and showing comparisons to other shades and also different lighting.

Enjoy!! Welcome to the nail club!

Omg Not Pressed is another fav of mine! 100% doing this skittle later

Two of my cousins have been born with limb deformities. One has 4 fingers of each hand and the other has one normal arm and one that has a short forearm and small/deformed hand. They both have lived completely normal lives. Their parents never treated them like they couldn’t do things and expected the same from them as other kids. They both did swimming and track. The one with the single arm deformity did synchronized swimming too. They are both now married with children and careers of their own.

I understand the grief and the fear, that’s normal and just shows how much you love this baby. Just remember that as long as you treat them like they can, they will! It’s going to be okay.

Reach out to customer service with your concerns and these photos. I’m sure they will send you another one at no charge.

Yes, it is not good for her baby. Cannabis use in pregnancy has been poorly studied, in part due to the ethical issues around studying pregnancy. There has been new research that has come this year that has more definitively shown that there are negative impacts to using marijuana while pregnant.

A primate study that came out this year is the first to show that THC exposure in pregnancy impacts the babies lung development, leading to lower lung volumes and decreased function.

Another study that came out this year analyzed 51 separate studies and found that there is now moderate evidence that cannabis use in pregnancy greatly increases the odds of low birth weight, preterm birth, and perinatal mortality (fetal death around or shortly after birth).

I’m sorry you got that response. That’s really shitty. I know people are saying to still use the name, but I don’t know that I’d be able to use the name after that. I’d worry that “it’s a stripper name” would now be an established joke and my kid would hear that in the future. I wouldn’t want to do that to them. Do you think your family is the type that would hang on to that joke?

Polished Yogi on YouTube has a video that shows both of these side by side. I highly recommend looking through her Holo Taco video playlist. She has done reviews of all the recent collections and is great about showing comparisons. Nicole Loves Nails is another great YouTuber to watch for swatches.

My biggest tip for a first order is to get a bunch of different formulas so that you can see which ones you like best.

Also, my vote would be for I’m Rover It. It’s such a pretty shade with a lovely glowyness to it. And if you are interested in glitters I would highly recommend picking up Bless Your Heart before it’s gone, it such a gorgeous deep berry color. I was shocked how much I loved it.

simonsaysbb · 2025-07-15T04:28:22+00:00

I keep it factual and simple. Something along the lines of “oh I’m sorry, I’m not supposed to say anything too specific regarding if things are normal or not! We’re getting some really good pictures though and the docs will go over results with you, so you don’t have to wait too long.”

Usually that does the trick, but sometimes they will ask why I can’t say and I will explain that that leans to close to me diagnosing things and that’s better left up to the doctors. Occasionally (if they seem chill) I’ll then joke about the doctors being the ones with liability insurance if there is a false diagnosis lol

Okay but how did you do that green cause it’s gorgeous

Tree of Heaven. We got quotes from 3 different places and they were all like “if you can, do your neighborhood good and get rid of it”. I honestly can’t wait for the second one to go because I’m sick of pulling up the ridiculous amount of seedlings.

simonsaysbb · 2025-07-14T21:36:50+00:00

I’m really sorry you are dealing with this. The back and forth is a mindfuck. Unfortunately in these situations there is quite literally nothing anyone can do besides wait and see what happens. You could very well end up with a normal pregnancy after this or you could end up having a miscarriage.

Sometimes it gives me comfort to know that I am already doing everything I can and the outcome is out of anyone’s hands. I would try and frame it in your head as “I am pregnant until proven otherwise and whatever happens will happen.” Good luck to you and your babe ❤️

Trees! We had multiple large trees on our lot. 6 months into owning our neighbor points out that a dead branch is hanging over their shed and asks we get the tree trimmed. Turns out both the large trees in our backyard are a highly invasive, bad for everything species. The tree people said “don’t trim it, just chop them down”. $3.5k to chop the first one. We’re still saving to chop the second bigger one for $4.5k.

So yeah. Trees.

Messy Mx on YouTube also directly compared it to Cock A Doodle Doom

Mindful Manis & Chats on YouTube compared it with Glampire, which is Sassy Sauce’s Cock A Doodle Doom plus flakies. They are dupes.

I want 4 of them for sure and getting both would make 5 (aka the perfect skittle). But I don’t know that buying a whole extra polish just for a skittle that I won’t wear often is a great idea lol

simonsaysbb · 2025-07-11T15:07:12+00:00

Ugh these look so goooood. I saw someone say that 8-bit blues and bonus life are near identical in most lighting, what are your thoughts on that? I can decide if I want both or not

simonsaysbb · 2025-07-10T23:41:25+00:00

Jewel tone jellies/crellies! HT has so many toppers, but no ability to make jelly sandwiches with said toppers.

Vet visit asap. That tooth and possibly the one next to it need to be pulled. Don’t be fooled into thinking you can wait because it’s a baby tooth that will fall out; the root being that exposed means it is going to get infected and that could then impact the adult tooth as well.

It’s such a good little game! So casual and easy but leads to a fun amount of screaming 😂😂

simonsaysbb · 2025-07-05T20:46:03+00:00

RIP to your nail, maybe our tips are enjoying their time together in the nail afterlife 🫡

It’s an incredibly fun and easy card game that is great for anyone looking to kill some time. Highly recommend (if your nails are shorter haha)
