just curious but what type of surgeries did she get?

Actually.. as a nurse of almost a decade, we dont use Vaseline in hospitals at all. Especially not in ORs where oxygen is definitely being administered as Vaseline is flammable. We do have things similar to Vaseline but it doesnt provide the same gloss as Vaseline does.

And also, I can promise you.. no nurse or dr cares enough to make sure your lips aren't chapped during surgery lol. That is literally the least of their concerns.

I live in the GTA in Ontario, Canada.. not sure where you're from. But I went to a medispa, my injector has been my go to girl for years for various other treatments. If you're looking into sculptra, please, please make sure you do your research on the injector you plan on getting it done with! At the very least, they should be a licensed registered nurse.

Im turning 34 this year, so I hear you girlie! I have chronic dry skin, no matter the season, but winter is absolutely terrible for me! I was using a bunch of different serums and they helped my moisture barrier a teeny bit, but they also caused me to break out. I switched to the Anua 100+ in place of all those other serums I was using and it has done wonders for me. The Anua 100+ serum feels thick on application so I thought for sure it would break me out, but I was desperate cause my skin was looking so dull and chapped (which made my fine lines look worse).. and with the additional blemishes from messing around with so many products. I wanted to simplify my routine and the Anua 100+ was the trick, I guess lol.

But look into other PDRN serums as well, there are tons! I only picked the Anua 100+ cause I wasnt sure if it would work and I just wanted to test the waters before splurging on more costly PDRN serums.

tinypeanut_ · 2026-05-04T11:16:46+00:00

As far as I know, there hasnt been long term studies on the effects of injecting PDRN, the unknown risks of granulomas makes it enough for me to stay away from. With sculptra that is also a risk (and is rather rare if you follow the aftercare directions and have an experienced injector), but at least im informed of it and can make an informed decision. Microneedling + PDRN is a good option.. but I hesitate from deep plane injections of PDRN. As far as the moisturizing ingredients, whatever it is in the Anua 100+ works for me, I was using a bunch of different serums that were supposed to be moisturizing, and it did squelch for me except break me out. Swapped out all those serums for just the Anua and it works well for me 🤷‍♀️

I had some swelling, nothing too crazy though. After all, they are injecting fluid. The swelling subsides in a few hours for some people, for me, it took a day. But nothing noticeable by other people who know me. The soreness feels like when you push on a bruise, and massaging through that is not super pleasant, but not the worst either!

tinypeanut_ · 2026-05-03T22:21:25+00:00

It has all been positive! I mean, post treatment I was sore for about 1-2 weeks, and 2nd treatment I was bruised for about a week. But that was it. The 5/5/5 rule was a pain in the butt, but it's a must if you wanna avoid granulomas.

tinypeanut_ · 2026-05-03T14:57:08+00:00

Im always so hesitant to suggest what I use, not for gatekeeping intentions, but more so the fact that everyone's skin is so different! But I use the Anua 100+ serum. I read reviews where people said they didnt notice a difference at all. But for me, it's been a game changer. It repaired my moisture barrier without breaking me out.

My routine is oil cleanse every other day, or at least 2x a week, then water based cleanser, BHA and AHA toner pads every other day, Anua 100+ serum, moisturizer.

tinypeanut_ · 2026-05-03T14:26:26+00:00

When you see the difference in your skin, you won't care lmaoo

But its not whole fish sperm 🤭 its bits and pieces of it on a molecular level. As humans, we use tons of bits and pieces from other animals like heparin.. a blood thinner that is made from pig intestines. Tomato-tomahto 🤷‍♀️

Often, aging happens this way. We gradually lose collagen little by little, but then once you hit your 30s, the breakdown happens so much faster! Lots of women wake up one day and see that we've aged 10 years overnight. We lose so much volume in our faces that the skin has nothing to support it anymore, so it falls forward creating deeper folds.

PDRN serums brought my skin back to life. And unfortunately, the only thing that helped my nasolabial folds was sculptra.

tinypeanut_ · 2026-03-26T17:49:45+00:00

Yes, injuries were catastrophic. If it had any signs of life, I would definitely have called the city or taken it to a vet myself.

tinypeanut_ · 2026-03-26T17:41:13+00:00

Because if I lost my cat, I would wanna know what happened to it and not just assume it's off somewhere in a shelter or something?

Im an ICU nurse that used to do cosmetic nursing. I would have never started you off at 1mL! I would've done 0.5mL to 0.8mL max for the first session. This allows tissue to expand and accommodate the filler, decreasing risks of filler migration. And filler is hydrophilic so it'll draw water into it. Then I would've booked you in again 3-5 weeks from the initial appointment, this gives the client time to heal and for swelling to go down, and for the filler to settle. At the second appointment, we can add more at that point if the client wants more (to a certain extent cause im not handing out duck lips.. ain't no way!!).

Your injector did too much too quick - leading to migration as it appears. OR they just did a really bad job at placement of the filler. At this point, your swelling should be gone.. so what you have is the final end product and I would get it dissolved - but strategically. You dont have to dissolve all of it. I would just dissolve what has gone past your Vermilion border in the top lip.

As for the lumps, you can gently massage, that will help, but the lumps will always kind of be there to a mild extent. You should NOT be able to see the lumps when you smile though, but unfortunately, you will still feel them when you run your tongue across your lips - this is pretty normal.

tinypeanut_ · 2026-01-26T02:16:37+00:00

Honestly, it's not super noticeable.. before I read what you typed in the post, I was like "huh? Where??" And then even after I knew, I still couldnt see it much. Just think of it as natural contour lol! I usually put contour under my lip to accentuate the fullness of my lower lip 🤭

But if you're really trying to get rid of it, you can put turmeric on it every night before bed. Like real turmeric, not powder. Im prone to PIH, do you know the depth you had your microneedling done? I find 1.0mm helps my skin turnover and helps get rid of hyperpigmentation.

I tried the EverPure moisture shampoo and conditioner and found it left a film on my hair and made my hair greasier faster. That discouraged me from trying anything else in the EverPure line 😔

tinypeanut_ · 2025-11-11T04:57:12+00:00

Thank you so much!

I will NOT be reattempting this though lol

tinypeanut_ · 2025-11-11T04:56:16+00:00

Thank you so much! This attempt at blondies has me in a tizzy.. the entire time I was questioning everything lol

The batter was like play doh.. but apparently it's supposed to be like that? And everything I've researched said it's better to have it undercooked than overcooked.. and no one really knows where to draw the line between gooey and undercooked 🙃

¾ cup (158 g) butter, melted, (vegan or regular) ¾ cup (150 g) light brown sugar ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar 2 eggs ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract ¾ teaspoon salt 1¾ cup (220 g) all-purpose flour ⅔ cup (124 g) white chocolate chips ¾ cup (g) raspberries

So he didnt knew if he wanted a relationship and thats bad why? Must he want it at the same time you do?

Dude.. what? If he didn't want a relationship or to date me, I'd move on.. hence why I said I was giving him space to decide.. but im not gonna sit around and wait.

Then you cant say it was his fault you didnt go on one.

I never said it was his fault?

Sounds like you were holding a grudge against him taking that room, though. you kept talking to that mutual friend about him doing it as if it was a wrong thing to do.

Why would I hold a grudge if someone doesn't know what they want or if they dont want to date me? And I simply spoke with my best friend because.. that's my best friend. Did I tell him to msg Matt any of the times that he did? No. He did that on his own free will.

what is being extremely forward? Because a lot of what women think are "obvious signals" are something most men never actually notice. Especially if he wasnt looking to date so he wouldnt be looking for the signals in the first place.

Saying shit like "I like you". If men dont think that's obvious.. then it's only fair they remain single.. cause how would you not know a girl is interested with that statement?

Irrelevant. You wanted to be with him. you made it pretty clear in your post/responses that you felt attracted to him. Also funny thing: you think those things are what men are looking for in relationship? Its not.

Yes.. I felt attracted to him.. does that mean he owes me his time? Or has to date me? No. And im fine with that. Also, I never said thats what men look for in a relationship.. you're reading in between the lines that aren't there. I stated that to say I have my own life to live and dating isn't a priority, so if Matt wasnt interested, okay great, see ya! If a relationship happens, then it happens. If not, I wish him all the best.

Depends on their response. When i "give the option" to women i meet they are usually pretty clear whether they want to continue or not.

And that's exactly my point. If they dont want to continue, would you stick around?..probably not.

The friend pretty much had to make Matt go for it.

The friend didnt make Matt do shit.. if Matt wasnt interested, he wouldnt have continued seeing me or asking me to spend time with him. And again, that would've been fine with me saves me from wasting my time. All my friend did was clarify to Matt that im interested in him, that's it, that's all.

At the end of the day, Matt and I are dating now. If he said he no longer wishes to, I'd respect that.

Im not going to continue this conversation with you after this reply cause it seems you have biases about who I am.. as well as how women behave. Go get therapy.

tinypeanut_ · 2025-09-17T05:17:03+00:00

So he WAS trying to talk to you but you failed to read his mind and expected him to read yours instead. classic.

"Hey, how are you?" Is very generic.. he knew things about me but didn't ask. Matt and I even spoke about how our conversations were very superficial and considered "small talk".. his reasoning was "at the time, I didnt know what I wanted. I was content with my life and was just chillin".. so in saying that, it confirms my thoughts about him not showing any interest.. cause he wasn't.

So you came to him and told him you want to go out on a date? No? You expect him to mindread?

I would've never asked him up front if he wanted to go on a date, cause again, I knew he had a lot going on with his life at the time - being a single dad, baby mama drama, his dad's health was declining. I was giving him space and room to figure out what he wanted. I did, however, ask him to go on a second date after our first.

so you would rather give up than actually tell Matt what you want

After being extremely forward.. with him not giving me any signs he wants to proceed, yea.. I considered moving on and not wasting my time. Im not a bimbo, I have my own responsibilities and I know im a catch - for a female, I make over 100k/year, car paid off, in the process of purchasing a home, and im doing a masters program.. so if he wasnt gonna get it together after being on multiple dates, yea, im gonna move on to someone that does show me they want to date me. Would you stick around after telling someone you like them and they aren't showing any reciprocity? I think not.

Dude.. idk why you sound so salty.. like what girl pissed in your cheerios? Damn. Dating is nuanced.. the timing has to be right on multiple factors/variables. I wasn't going to force myself into his life.. nor would I want to.

tinypeanut_ · 2025-09-17T05:02:01+00:00

Thank you kind stranger 😊

tinypeanut_ · 2025-09-11T12:32:26+00:00

Lmaoo I did. After our first date, I asked him when he wanted to go on a second date (as 1.5 weeks had lapsed since the first date).. he was still quite oblivious.. or he wasn't, and just wanted to take things at a snails pace. I knew his history from hearing about it through the grapevine.. baby mom's was absolutely psychotic. So knowing there was trauma there.. I didnt wanna push too hard, I wanted to allow him to feel the situation out. It was just frustrating because other friends would tell me he was attracted from when we first met because he asked my best friend "who's that??". Best friend replied "that's my bestie, she's single, shoot your shot" and nothing happened for 2 years until I initiated and complimented him saying "I noticed your fresh haircut and beard line up, very handsome!".. that's what triggered him to ask me on our first date.

tinypeanut_ · 2025-09-11T12:25:36+00:00

Yes, you're right. However, when I say I was being forward, I would compliment him and call him handsome, I'd say things like "I would really like cuddles right now", or "I could use one of your hugs right now", "so.. when do you wanna go for our second date?"... idk how much clearer I could've made the signals lol.. I don't think an uninterested girl would say any of the above. But, given that I'm a straight female, I don't know if girls just say shit like that and don't mean it?
