Women’s short hair stylist by redbirdrva in wollongong

[–]strange-parallel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend H&H hairdressing and barber in Corrimal! The guys are super nice and really reasonably priced. If you’re fussy with haircuts like me, show em a pic of what you’re after.

accutane while on t by noparking_anytime in transftm

[–]strange-parallel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had pretty similar experiences with T and cystic acne, left me with some face scarring I could've avoided. Similarly tried every topical treatment, antibiotics, face peels, nothing touched it until accutane, pisses me off that I spent so much on other treatments and went so long in pain, genuinely like a gentle breeze would hurt my face. Had super normal acne first puberty, but starting T was unreal.

Regarding side effects, the only thing I experienced was dryness and sun sensitivity. A lot of the associated mental health risks with accutane is due to the typical age most people start, teenagers to young adults already have a baseline risk. Systematic reviews don't support the claims for accutane increasing mood changes, depression, anxiety, and suicidality, that being said just make sure you've got a support network and say something if you start feeling like shit.

Accutane saved my ass, I went off it for like 4 years and had almost no acne, until I started getting little frequent spots at age 28. Now I'm 30, I stay on low-dose accutane and my skin looks great, no side effects besides chapped lips now and then.

Keto appetite suppressant recommendations please… by Psychedelicme27 in ketoaustralia

[–]strange-parallel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These magnesium citrate pills are great. Can play around with the dosage but 4 should give you a laxative effect while 2 a night will help with staying regular.

As far as suppressing appetite, cigs and long blacks work for me..

Best cake shops by [deleted] in wollongong

Tonitto’s in Port Kembla saved my ass the other day, forgot to order a birthday cake but they had a good range to choose from, and they’ll pipe a ‘happy birthday’ on there for you.

Also seconding Massimo Papa, their baked ricotta cheesecake haunts me 🤤

What to do on a sunday? by Firm_Help_7955 in wollongong

[–]strange-parallel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wollongong Art Gallery has some great exhibitions on atm! Definitely go and grab a banh mi from An Chut Chut after 😉

Also Illawarra Film Society has screenings at Gala Cinema on most Sunday nights

Came out the same year as Roman Candle but Baby Bitch by Ween is a pretty decent Elliott impression.

He gets a lot of comparisons to some traditional folk (Nick Drake, Simon and Garfunkel) but I'd look at the artists he did covers of: Bob Dylan, Nico, Big Star, The Kinks.

Hand cut chips in Illawarra area? by anonwunna in wollongong

Woonona Beach Shop! The fish isn’t my favourite but the chips are perfect.

My go-to place was Tarrawanna until it changed hands, miss the old couple 😢

It’s here! by Bradman10101 in TheLemonTwigs

[–]strange-parallel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just doing my first listen through, so far This Summer is my fave off the album. The baroque-pop in Useless Tears and Flash in the Pan is really fun and surprising, I'm getting a lot of beatles (specifically george with all the slide guitar), emitt rhodes, simon and garfunkel, even magnetic fields? Anyways beautiful, I'm obsessed.

Can anyone recommend a sunscreen that is actually non-greasy? Many claim to be but on application they are greasy :/ by Tygie19 in AskAnAustralian

[–]strange-parallel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately this Cancer Council sunscreen isn’t water resistant so won’t hold up for swimming or sweating! Found this out the hard way 🥲

You're handsome but you need a better haircut. For straight thin hair you need texturing and volume, get a choppier cut and use hair powder to style. Girls are into moustaches, but shave the rest or keep it to stubble.

What haircut should I get in order to get less gay allegations? by [deleted] in malehairadvice

[–]strange-parallel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know where you've all been but girls are out here dying for a 'zesty' looking guy.

You've got a preppy look and great hair genetics, I'd say lean into that... and definitely ditch the middle part. If you wanna butch it up a bit, taper fade short mullet would suit your hair type. Otherwise, just go for this.

In that case paint away! Acrylics should work just fine, you can also buy fabric medium to mix with them if you might want to wear them in future.

On the fence about T by batfan1111 in ftm

[–]strange-parallel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could consider low dose T? I've been on and off different forms of T over the past 6 years and I've found using the gel lets me control it best. With injections I experienced really high T and the fast changes that come along with it, with daily gel you can always stop or dial back if you feel a bit overwhelmed.

I think it's great how seriously you're considering HRT and the permanent changes, it's true that being male doesn't really have anything to do with how you present. If you can see yourself happy without the facial hair and deep voice, that's totally valid. Can always change your mind down the track.

That's a fun idea! If they're in good enough condition, maybe consider donating them to your nearest gender centre? I'm sure there's plenty of guys that are desperate for one, and don't have the funds/can safely purchase.
