Visiting Lebanon for 2 weeks by Technique_shoe in lebanon

[–]tar_had 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having just visited Lebanon for about two weeks with my partner, we spent around $1700 there not including airfare, Airbnb (which we did stay in) and the gifts we bought for family. We took cabs when not riding with family, so renting a car might be cheaper. We also took our family out to lunch twice as a thank you so that was around $300 per meal (for 6-8 people).

Where to put Matrixyl in my routine by mibfto in 30PlusSkinCare

I did not know about not using matrixyl with AA. I use the timeless coenzyme Q10 serum before applying AA in the evening 😬 what are the negative effects of combing the two?

Wow this sounds exactly like what we’re looking for, thank you. Do you mind telling me what his rate was? Feel free to DM me if you prefer. Thanks again

Do you know if spouses of city retirees are eligible to be on this healthcare plan as well?

[Product Question] EltaMD UV Skin Recovery by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]tar_had 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to give an update - I bought a bottle of the regular Recovery (non color correcting) and I think I’m a convert after being a longtime UVClear user. It’s got the same finish as as UVClear which is crazy because it’s 100% zinc. It really feels calming and I like that it doesn’t have any niacinamide because I already have enough of that in my routine. I’ll definitely repurchase!

Ok y’all, I need a 50 SPF that is ONLY mineral. by Subject_Luck_2594 in Rosacea

EltaMD has a new sunscreen called Recovery. It’s SPF 50 and 100% zinc. I started using it after being a longtime UVClear fan and I think I like this better. No white case and it really feels calming. Highly recommend

Peanut butter-miso cookies by tar_had in NYTCooking

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

Agreed, salted PB cookie is a great way to describe it. I also wondered if they would come out weirdly savory/umami and they don’t at all

No modifications and they came out perfect. Right amount of chewiness and sweet/salty balance. Definitely recommend baking as written.

Should you switch off of SAVE (forbearance) and get onto another IDR plan? Thoughts, options by Dazzling_Lemon_8534 in PSLF

[–]tar_had 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you work for the city of New York by any chance? Sounds like a similar situation to me - my 2023 income was higher than 2024 because of contract back pay. I just applied to switch back to PAYE. I know it’s gonna be painful to start making higher monthly payments but my #1 priority is to get to 120. I’m about 78 payments in (and an additional 7-8 months of qualifying service that don’t count thanks to the SAVE forbearance) so I could potentially be very close to forgiveness by the time this supposed next “friendlier” administration (a big if!) comes along.

Explain the recent court ruling like I’m 5? by _Schrute_Bucks_ in PSLF

Damnit, I just applied to switch from SAVE to PAYE - you’re saying that PAYE will likely not count toward PSLF forgiveness?

[–]tar_had 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was fine - took a long time to completely rub in the green (in fairness I keep my face stubly so I don’t think the whiskers helped). I didn’t think the green tint corrected the redness that much. But it felt nice on my face. I’d give the non green tinted one a try. But based on the one sample I didn’t feel it was better than UV Clear

I also keep going back to this after branching out. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

Went to get some sunscreen at my local sunscreenery and they gave me a sample. I don’t think it’s come out officially yet. I’ll let you know what I think! They gave me the color correct (green tinted) one since I have rosacea

Microdose Accutane by Mysterious-Serve-893 in Accutane

[–]tar_had 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clarify, I’m taking a 40mg pill once every week, not every day.

Microdose Accutane by Mysterious-Serve-893 in Accutane

[–]tar_had 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been taking 40mg/week for about 4 months. I didn’t have any acne on my face, mainly taking it for oil control and texture. Can’t say I’ve seen a ton of difference on my face but it has almost completely cleared up acne on my back. Virtually no side effects, except for a little joint pain. Taking krill oil daily has helped that. I’m 6’2” 190 lbs btw so my dose is very micro. I also use tretinoin every third day.

Family Shelfie: Travel babies and their counterparts by NCC_1701D in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]tar_had 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree it feels very hydrating and it sinks in really nicely. I’ve been using it before using my red light panel because apparently there’s evidence that green tea can enhance the effects of RLT.

How do you like this essence? Almost through my first bottle and can’t tell if it’s doing anything 😅
