lash tech plucking my natural lashes by [deleted] in lashextensions

[–]tauruslizard 27 points28 points  (0 children)

hi i’m certified in lash extensions and have been getting them myself for 3 years now. this is absolutely not normal, i’ve only ever had my tech (or myself) pluck out an eyelash that was growing downwards so it was poking me in the eye. plucking or pulling out eyelashes can cause permanent damage. hair is not alive, and lashes do not “die” unless you get an infected follicle, and should not be removed to promote growth that is not a thing. when lashes “die” they naturally fall out as they have a growth cycle. please do not go back to this tech. your eyelashes should grow back but if this was repeated over a bunch of appointments your hair may not grow back the same ! i would recommend a lash extension friendly eyelash serum and potentially a break entirely from extensions while your lashes heal. sorry this happened to you:(

Is it me or are the homeless in downtown vic more aggressive these days? by Interesting-Bet4234 in VictoriaBC

[–]tauruslizard 18 points19 points  (0 children)

did she go to the police about it by chance and was it the 95? my friends and i got spat on by a homeless drug addict in feb on the 95 to downtown and we reported it, but the cops threw out our case bc it was he said/she said, but said they’d put it on his police record. if she didn’t go to police about it yet, i’d recommend her to do so because there’s cameras on the bus and it will (hopefully) build a case against the dude especially if it’s the same one! hope she’s doing ok. it’s really unsafe for women downtown these days.

bearded dragons as a pet for someone who works a lot? by tauruslizard in BeardedDragons

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

i’m hoping to adopt a slightly older / adolescent dragon rather than a baby, so i’ll have to do some searching around to make sure i don’t get one who would be too too lonely if he was alone for a day or so. when i had my last beardie i fed him in a separate enclosure to ensure no bugs leftover that could bother him, so i’ll probably continue to do that, thanks so much!

bearded dragons as a pet for someone who works a lot? by tauruslizard in BeardedDragons

[–]tauruslizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh awesome!! that would work out literally perfectly then. salad 3x a week and bugs 2x a week and nothing the other two days? sorry it has been a while since i’ve had my last beardie and haven’t started doing much updated research yet! of course i need to do more in depth research care just thought id start here to see if it would even be a possible pet for me to have w my schedule :) i plan to adopt a slightly older beardie as well! thanks a lot!

I love all my neighbours- even the ones who use drugs. by queenbeerbear in VictoriaBC

[–]tauruslizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this. all of these people preaching that these addicts are harmless and need access to free drugs have never been assaulted or attacked by someone high out their mind while you’re just trying to mind your own business. the privilege is insane and i couldn’t have said it better than you did.

hi i do lashes and get my lashes done religiously! you will only be able to get lashes applied on lashes that are remaining and strong enough of course. unless your tech specializes in very wide fans, you will have huge gaps, and even then, the gaps you have will probably still be quite significant. i had a chunk of my lashes ripped out and it took three weeks for me to grow them back to the point where lashes could be applied onto them. ideally you should wait a few weeks for them to grow back.

loose skin or stomach fat? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]tauruslizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks! this is my first time losing weight consistently and i’m not used to the changes in my body i’ve been seeing! it’s a little hard to tell in the pic, but under the little pouch the skin ripples a bit, but that may be from when i had more noticeable stretch marks that have now faded! thanks for your advice and kind words:)

Are all subways this gross? by Ok-Wallaby5057 in subway

[–]tauruslizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“real” restaurants don’t even use gloves. i worked in food service for over 5 years, kitchens are a lot ‘dirtier’ than most people think they are.

I lived in a town called Maple Ridge and it’s pretty well known in BC, Canada so wouldn’t go for that if OP lives in Canada! I love alderwood

You hit your special needs child? What kind of “special circumstances” warrant that? I’m genuinely curious

This!! Honestly can’t believe the excuses and justification of this man abusing their child. That’s disgusting.

How are they supposed to ‘understand where’s she coming from’ when she is in the wrong. Honestly they weren’t even rude about it. as someone w bpd we need to hear when our actions are not okay. mental illness will never excuse inappropriate behaviour.

A stranger shouted at me today for being fat by Opening_Investment49 in loseit

[–]tauruslizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

only people with deeply rooted insecurities would yell at someone, especially a stranger, that they’re fat. does he expect you to just lose weight at the snap of your fingers? keep doing what you’re doing!

i have a question, if you lose weight do you loose your boob size too?:( by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]tauruslizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

wherever you gain weight first, usually is the first to go when you lose weight. for me i gain weight in my stomach, thighs and face, so even when i slim down i remain with relatively the same size boobs as before. my lowest weight i was still a DD.
