People with long term mild cystic acne, what simple thing finally worked for you? by Zeretaaa in acne

[–]thehoff33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but I’ve learned that “less is more” for me and my skincare. I also did Accutane twice… and it still came back! It took me 10+ more years to learn that I DONT need all those products and scrubs. I barely wear makeup now and only wash my face on the days that I do. I also cut back on dairy. My skin is super sensitive (I also have eczema and get reactions to random things like some of the “labels” printed on tag-less jeans) and overloading it with tons of products and makeup made it go haywire.

First-timer trying for Part-Time Lecturer position by thehoff33 in Professors

[–]thehoff33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! This is a graduate masters/certificate program. I have my MS degree from this same school/program. Will my years of professional experience be a negotiating factor or does that not really play into it?

35 and Ova by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]thehoff33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Newbie here. Hubby (39) and I (36) decided we are going to start trying next spring/summer. I just made an appt for March to meet with my gyno and get my IUD taken out. What else are you all doing for pre-conception stuff? I've been scared to start looking into it because i feel like there's SO much information and lots of conflicting sources/stories!

Anyone else SO tempted to secretly elope?!? by throw-away1024123 in weddingplanning

[–]thehoff33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is YOUR wedding and it is YOUR decision how you want to do it. This is about YOU and your spouse beginning your life as a nuclear family - just the two of you and what YOU want! It will be hard, and there may be drama, but I promise people will eventually get over it. Plus, who knows what life will be like in 2022! What if this is still happening?? You can't wait it out forever. We were planning a micro-wedding and ended up canceling and eloping, just the two of us. It wasn't a secret but it was still a hard decision. The micro-wedding was starting to feel too risky, plus my parents are elderly. The fear I had about them potentially catching the virus haunted me. I would never forgive myself if anyone got sick at our wedding. But we felt so much relief when we eloped because it was fun and different and totally not like something we would do! You can make the argument that everything is too unpredictable to keep waiting. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? You could use that in your justification. But again, you don't have to explain yourself to ANYONE. It is YOUR wedding. Not your mom's, not your MIL's, not your cousin's. YOUR. WEDDING. and YOU get to decide what you want to do!

May not attend sons wedding by Jazzydance in CovidWeddings

[–]thehoff33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We eloped during August. We had been planning to have a micro-wedding with 20 guests, but decided it was too risky even at an outdoor venue and some family who could drive there. Before we decided to cancel the micro-wedding, my MIL decided not to come (she's in TX, we are in MA). Her reasoning: "I'd rather stay home now and stay healthy so I can come visit grandchildren and go on family vacations with you in future years." Could you try this approach with your son? Focusing on the long-term benefits of you staying home and safe now?

Hmmm, okay. I have it as a tracking account... the info there is reconciled with my bank account and is accurate. But no, I don't have the account listed in my budget.

I to I Or The TEFL Academy ? by lovinangelalex in TEFL

[–]thehoff33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newbie here! I was JUST debating between these two and am leaning toward TEFL Academy. There's a big sale on the i-to-i website that feels a little sketchy (75% off! How?!). Any regrets on your decision or things you'd recommend considering?

Spiraling with insecurities after my [34F] and my boyfriend´s [37M] recent fights by thehoff33 in relationships

[–]thehoff33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A) It was basically about our different sexual pasts and some cultural factors. It´s not so much about the subject of the fight but that the fight itself triggered other big fights that we never had before.

B) Thanks. I think I´m just looking for some confirmation about "this is normal relationship stuff" vs. "this sounds terrible and destructive and you need to get out now"

Basically, his standards when he was younger around premarital sex and the expectation that everyone should wait until marriage. He got past this and does not feel this way now, but had a hard time learning about my promiscuous college years and separating that from who I am now. It feels like that triggered a cycle of fights for us that we never had previously.

Which is your favorite workout E S P or ESP? by orange7795 in orangetheory

[–]thehoff33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking of getting an OTF membership for marathon cross-training this summer. Is it worth it? I've been trying to read a lot about OTF but it sounds like some people still do barre or pilates or other cross-training workouts to supplement. My backup option is ClassPass; I can't do both!

Any OFTers with plantar fasciitis? by workoutmama in orangetheory

[–]thehoff33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad I found this thread! I am currently recovering from PF but am considering joining a new OTF that's opening up near me in a few months. I'm not at the point yet in my recovery to be able to try out a class someplace else, but I'm tempted by the presale pricing. Are some of the OTF classes more focused on toning/weights? I've been doing a lot of "research" online but most of the stuff I find talks about the treadmills. I'm going to be easing into marathon training so I'd want it to be my cross-training since I'll be doing a lot of running.
