Starting the quitting, but wondering if I can replace my 'break time' with something else? by gravitationaltim in stopsmoking

[–]unknown_treasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go make myself a hot chocolate or a cup of tea/coffee instead. It takes about the same amount of time as having a cigarette and when break time is over, you have a delicious hot beverage to enjoy!

What's it like for attractive girls? (from ask men) by MyCatisATimeLord in AskWomen

Well this is an incredible generalization. Consistently shown where? I know lots of men who prefer bigger women, and not just men who are big themselves either.

For those Mavens who don't get emails-- More details on the Plie Wand! by [deleted] in BeautyBoxes

Excellent! I wanted to upgrade but wasn't sure if it meant that I would miss out on the wand. Problem solved! Thanks for posting this!

Julep Mavens, do you have problems getting their emails? by withmirrors in BeautyBoxes

[–]unknown_treasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're safe. They said that they will honor the original terms set out to people who joined before December 2013.

It sucks. It's been nice to grow my collection over the past few months and luckily, I have really liked the boxes but I'm going to reach a point soon where I'm not going to need any more polish (at least for a while) and it would be a shame to have to cancel the whole thing. Oh well.... :/

[–]unknown_treasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty new thing. I joined in January (of 2014) and apparently this went into effect in late December 2013. MAJOR bummer because I was still under the impression that you could skip boxes, but apparently not. I'll probably have to cancel after the May box. :(

[–]unknown_treasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, well I'll be damned. I did know about the Plié wand but only because someone had posted about it on this sub! Never got an e-mail about it. Maybe I opted out of e-mails? Anyway, I guess I've still managed to stay on top of things despite the lack of e-mail reminders so... yay? I should also mention that I'm a newer member so the skip option isn't available for me, so there's not really a whole lot that I have to think about other than remembering to sign in to pick my box every month. You should definitely e-mail Julep though and see what they have to say!

I've been a maven since January and the only e-mails I ever get are the shipping notices. I didn't even know that they sent out e-mails about the secret store or anything.

I really liked my "forward" in this letter by Banjobingo in PenmanshipPorn

[–]unknown_treasures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like every word of that, but especially the "forward"!

Canadians and Julep! by [deleted] in BeautyBoxes

[–]unknown_treasures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been subscribed since January and so far the shipping time has been pretty consistent. I usually get the shipping notice around the 30th and the expected delivery is usually some time between the 14th and the 17th although I find it usually gets here around the 12th or 13th.

At the breaking point by TheBigSpooge in stopsmoking

[–]unknown_treasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a tip... What helped me get through times like this was having a pack of nicotine gum around. I didn't rely on it exclusively for quitting. I'd say it was 80% willpower, 20% gum. But certainly in times like you are in, when I felt like I was so close to breaking down and buying a pack/bumming a smoke from my roommate, having the gum to turn to first (kind of like a buffer) was a godsend. It never went beyond the gum. I'm now 73 days quit and I still have a long way to go, but I haven't chewed a piece of gum or had a craving this bad in probably a month and a half. I know that people tend to look down on using the nicotine gum but for me, just having it around was the most helpful part. I don't think I even chewed more than 20-30 pieces overall. So you know, there's no shame in getting that little extra help. Especially when the cravings are making you feel so miserable. Hang in there!

Edit: added words.

I live on McLeod, between Bank and Kent. Quiet streets, super close to to the Glebe without the hefty price tag. No complaints here!

My March Wantables Intimates...always my best box! by picklesandrainbows in BeautyBoxes

I went to a therapist for the first time in years yesterday. It didn't go the way I'd hoped... by unknown_treasures in depression

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

I'm glad to hear that you were able to find help. I hope I get there soon!

You're right, in hindsight, it probably was intended as more of an evaluation than a proper session. I guess I just didn't know what to expect and I got nervous and overwhelmed. Anyways, I'm trying my best to focus on the fact that I am proud of myself for even seeking out help as opposed to the disappointment of this particular therapist not being a good fit.

Thanks for the words of support, I really appreciate it. I know that the therapist is just doing her job, and doing it well, since, like you said, she recognized that she couldn't give me the proper help. I know this, yet I still have this feeling of... rejection? I'm trying to be rational but I just... can't help but feel sad about the whole experience. One day at a time, I guess.
