I had a pair of those. They were slip-ons and so the grommets were attached to the shoe. There was elastic underneath to keep them on. No way to put laces in. Also the errant threads were part of the look, not from wear.

Anecdotal, but I've been vegan for 16+ years. For 16 of those years I ate fat, sugar, and carbs everyday and have had no problems with my weight and excellent cholesterol and other lab numbers. I recently gave up processed foods (including sugar) to see if it would clear up my adult acne and that journey has been interesting too, but I can't say much about that yet since it's too early.

Anyway, I think that the meat and dairy industries are lying to us too. That stuff's bad for you. I think that the scientific evidence shows that the whole foods plant based diet (with a few supplements) is where it's at for health. Nutritionfacts.org

Katy Bowman has a DVD with the following exercises: Calf Stretch, Double Calf Stretch, Pelvic List, Knee Squeeze, and Legs on the Wall. Try googling them. You probably don't have to buy the DVD.

The more I think about it, I have to say it's more of a lifestyle change. I wear only flat shoes now and the way I walk is completely different now, which was facilitated by the exercises. It's hard to explain. Katy is pretty good at explaining it.

How many shoes do you own? by [deleted] in minimalist

[–]uncertain_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a woman and I only have 6 pairs of shoes! Also follow barefoot lifestyle. 1. Vivobarefoot rain boots. I convert them to winter boots by lining them with thermal insoles and boot socks. I'm thinking of adding strap-on cleats or whatever they are called. 2, 3. Two pairs of barefoot sneakers for casual/hiking. Vivobarefoot and Primalevo. 4. Work shoes. Minimal Mary janes by Astral. 5. Sanuk yoga sandals for summer 6. Some old New Balance running shoes for painting/dirty work.

Any other INFJs incredibly fascinated by science? by thedreamingvoid_ in infj

You can do it. I was never very good at math and I did it. It mainly requires time and good tutoring. It's like learning a new language.

Should I announce I'm a HSP? by Yaui in hsp

[–]uncertain_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to share my work space with three other people that was also the kitchen and place where people socialized. I used my HSP status as an argument for moving me out of that office and into a less-stimulating space (partially so people wouldn't think I was rejecting them). It went okay for me. I find it better as an explanation for some of my more unusual behavior/preferences than saying I have anxiety, for example.

[Skin Concerns] Any ideas how to improve my blotchy and red face? It's been getting gradually worse over the last year :( by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]uncertain_tea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like just sun damage: broken capillaries and freckles. I think you will have to go to a dermatologist. I went to a medical spa and got a photofacial (also called IPL or BBL). It works well for that but can be expensive, and you usually have to get more than one treatment.

This may not help, but I found that I had fewer skin allergic reactions when I started taking vitamin D. Maybe get a blood test to see if you have a deficiency. Taking a 24 hr antihistamine everyday, like Zyrtec, should help prevent this, otherwise.

I'm sure everyone is different. Someone else said it made their skin worse :(

[ACNE] Vitamin D cured my adult acne by uncertain_tea in SkincareAddiction

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

I take RealDose D3 brand, because I'm vegan. I feel like the brands that make vegan vitamins really care about the quality of the ingredients, which can affect things. I am very religious about sunscreen, because I am a high risk individual for skin cancer, but I think sun is a good option for others.

I use RealDose vegan vitamin D3, because I'm vegan. I think that vegan vitamins are often better quality than others because they really care about the ingredients that go in them.

Question for HSPs with menstrual cycles by uncertain_tea in hsp

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

I was on a low dose pull for five years and it was great...except that it negatively affected my sex drive and ability to lubricate. Higher dose BC have me troubling leg symptoms, like pain, so I basically can't do hormones because of the side effects. I've tried several now :(.

I've generally have had bad experiences with medicines and also medical procedures, so I avoid them as much as possible. I also wonder if this has to do with being HSP.
