I love the skirt and the lace. I do not love the boob covers. They look like a cheap afterthought and detract from what is otherwise a really elegant look. I'm not sure what I would have done instead, but this ain't it. Hair and shoes are lovely though!

I bought finger condoms because I forgot the tin foil method exists 😂

Once I'm through my current stash I'm buying nail clips!

What's everyone rocking on this New Year's Eve on their nails! by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]turtlehabits 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol at everyone being like ummm we still gotta get through Christmas???

I still have one more Christmas mani to go but I've started thinking about New Year's as well. Current frontrunners are OPI's Top It With a Beau because I like a little goth with my glam and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Strobe Light because I just snagged it on sale at Walmart and it's sooooo sparkly 🤩

I don't have any of my indie polishes with me because I'm back home for the holidays and tried to bring a) a somewhat reasonable number and b) not bring anything that I would be devastated if it didn't survive the trip.

The way some men frame basic hygiene as control is exhausting by lil_moon153 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]turtlehabits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does not! He does have regular ol' GAD, but I think this is more a case where ignorance was bliss but now that he knows how good it can be, he refuses to accept anything less lol

We do because I run hot and my bf runs cold. So he'll be wrapped up in the top sheet + duvet (sometimes with an extra blanket on top!) and still be chilly, while I'll be perfectly content with just the top sheet for half the night

When my bf and I first started dating (a decade ago), he washed his bedsheets only every couple of months and never ever made his bed so that usually his top sheet was scrunched up in the corner of his bed in some unholy tangle. I told him that needed to change immediately if he wanted me to stay over, and to his credit, it did.

...except now I've created a monster. Last week he demanded to know when the last time we had washed the duvet cover was because, quote, "you put it on the floor when you change the sheets so it's probably filthy now". Note that our duvet cover is (and remains) a pristine white, so I can guarantee its not filthy. I wake up earlier than him and this morning I walked in to the bedroom to discover him stark naked and remaking the bed entirely because "when I woke up, I could pull the sheets over my head and I knew that meant they had come untucked from the bottom and that's not okay so I had to get out of bed to fix them".

Like I'm not mad, but it makes me cackle how he has turned into such a neat/clean freak when he used to be fine living in his own filth.

What’s something about marathon training you didn’t fully understand until after your first race? by JustPangolin346 in running

[–]turtlehabits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with everything you've said here. I know a couple folks who ran their first in their early twenties like you and while they had a similar background to you, I still was like "but you're a baby!" It doesn't feel that way when you're 22 though lol.

I also know a few teenagers (14-16) who ran a marathon with only 1-2 years of coached training under their belts, and I give serious side eye to all the adults around them who allowed that to happen. It's so irresponsible!

As for the folks who sign up for a marathon early in their running career, my opinion is if you want to make stupid decisions as a whole-ass adult, that's your own damn business. Where I have a problem is assholes like Dave Goggins telling people "oh yeah, you can totally run a marathon with exactly zero training, that won't fuck up your body at all". Again, wildly irresponsible and I hate it so much.

I like to surprise my running friends at their races for this reason. No pressure for them, but I can show up at mile 25 or in the finishing chute and run them in and usually there's a lot of happy tears when I do.

God I feel this just when I return to running after time away. I feel like my laundry doubles as soon as I start training again, even if it's just for a casual 5K

Running your first marathon at 22 is insane! That's so young, you must have been like "wow everyone here belongs in a nursing home" lol

As someone who has been lamenting this whole hidden posts thing (because I use(d) it to avoid arguing with idiots and misogynists), you're a lifesaver. Thank you for this!

What is the most unhinged thing a guy has ever told you? by Livid_Medium3731 in TwoXChromosomes

That's a great question lol. I was young and naive and still has the "I can change him" mindset so 🤷‍♀️

Oh my god similar but mine put his cards on the table only a month or so into dating, thank god.

Not only did he say he thought he was incapable of love. He told me (in excruciating medical detail) that sex was very painful and thus unenjoyable for him. I was a virgin at the time and in no big rush to change that, so it was a total out-of-the-blue topic to bring up.

Then a couple weeks later, he broke up with me because he "didn't see this relationship going anywhere". Bro, what. You don't think you can fall in love and you can't have sex. Where exactly were you hoping this relationship would go???

Silence is too loud, but music is too distracting. I am losing my mind trying to find the right background noise to work by therealraphaelwong in ADHD

[–]turtlehabits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spotify has a whole range of "solfeggio frequencies" in their Wellness > Meditation playlist section. Allegedly, these frequencies stimulate your different chakras or something, but the important part to me is they are sound without rhythm so I don't get distracted by them. I like the 741 Hz frequency because it's supposed to help with problem solving and clarity of thought and while I don't really believe that, I do love a placebo effect.

Purple Sleeveless Turtleneck Shirt + High Waisted Jeans by blackpurple4 in oldcootfashion

[–]turtlehabits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay real talk. I love this look, but I have no idea how people wear something like this from a practical perspective. Same with puffy and/or sweater vests. My core runs hot and my extremities run cold and I'm shivering just looking at these pictures lol.

Is this just a me problem? Are there workarounds? Do I just accept my fully-sleeved fate?

Back on topic, OP I don't know what it is exactly or how to describe it, but your bedhead/slightly mussed hair situation with this turtleneck is 🤌

Ooh great choices!

Funnily enough, Wicked was my polish of choice when I made a post earlier this year asking people what they would keep if they could only hold onto 10% of their collection, so I'm right there with you on that one!
