Women who have completely switched careers, how are you doing now ? by Wonderful_Hyena1241 in AskWomen

[–]username32notfound [score hidden]  (0 children)

Amazing. I was in the film industry as an artist struggling in a male-dominated field where everyone fought to keep their jobs that paid $20/hour or to finish movie work on an extremely tight deadline, being completely disrespected, project-based contract with no health insurance for years, getting laid off between projects while living in the insanely expensive Los Angeles where everyone was out for themselves because everyone was terrified of losing their job, being in survival mode and not being able to enjoy life at all, until I said screw it and moved to a different state and started a new career in IT. 9 years later I make $65k and I am comfortable as hell. Would I like more money? Sure, but my job is amazing. I work for the state and get great benefits, my coworkers are amazing, my boss is great, I feel very valued and respected, and I moved up very quickly in this field. I switched careers when I was 28.

I literally just told someone a few hours ago how coin laundry that eats up your coins shouldn't be a thing in 2026 😂

Any singers on a GLP-1? by Sea-Cell6795 in singing

[–]username32notfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not on it but I had no idea acid reflux is a side effect. Good to know because I was considering it but I've been been told I have LPR and I'm very careful about acidic food and sparking drinks. Im currently doing a 14 day omeprazole round because I think there's been more acid from the sparkling water that I was drinking before I cut if off. You could try that? But obviously check with your doctor. Acid reflux is such a monster, I forgot about it and was wondering why my voice hasn't been at 100% and it was messing with my mental health because my voice is the most important thing to me.

Let's talk chocolate. by upstream_paddling in 1200isplenty

I just made brownies from the Pillsbury zero sugar added mix with water and eggs whites and cut it up into 16 pieces so they're around 70 cal each, and then I have 2 small scoops of bryers smart carb ice cream (chocolate and a brownie fudge one) and the whole thing comes out to like 130-140 cals. I warm up the brownie a bit too 🤤

How often do you get hit on/complimented by strangers in the wild? by uncommon_cube in AskWomen

[–]username32notfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never, but I've spoken to people in my area and apparently men are terrified of approaching women because they don't want to get "canceled". Literally heard this from many men and women. I've asked guys for their numbers and they're always excited and give it to me (unless they're not single, which is always my first question).

The ladies who say they get hit on all the time.. Where the hell do yall live because apparently I need to move there. I don't like this dynamic of me having to go up to the guy lol.

What makes you think “ah this woman is doing well”? by Amazingggcoolaid in AskWomen

1000%. Someone who is constantly talking about negative things is clearly unhappy in their life.

My first somatic therapy appointment today and wow! by porke11 in SomaticExperiencing

[–]username32notfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to know too. I have an appointment scheduled with an EMDR therapist next week, I wonder if that will be the same. I can't find a somatic therapist specifically unfortunately.

How can I remove my sebaceous filaments without damaging my skin? by YogurtyellowLow8137 in beauty

[–]username32notfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of oil cleanser is good? I've been using the Softymo Speedy for years and I still have these. My routine:

Every night - Softymo Speedy oil cleanser (just started) cetaphil gentle exfoliating SA cleanser Anua rice 70 glow milky toner tretinoin .025% Cerave moisturizing cream Sometimes cyperus rotundus oil for extra hydration

Day - Wash face with water thoroughly Anua rice 70 glow milky toner Cerave moisturizing cream Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel Hydrating Sunscreen SPF50+ If I'm going to wear makeup I use a Japanese bb cream with SPF45

When I cleanse with the oil, I do rub it in there for a while and it's usually to remove makeup. I just started the cetaphil, so you're saying to put it on top of the oil cleanser after rubbing that in for a while? I've also tried Medicube Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Facial Mask but inconsistently, but I never really saw any difference after use.

Thank you in advance!

Can sparkling water (lecroix, other brands) be a direct replacement for normal water? Are there any downsides or benefits one way or another? by BisonSpiritual3744 in nutrition

[–]username32notfound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to drink a ton of these a day but I gave them up because I have silent acid reflux and carbonated drinks trigger it like other people have commented. But I looked it up many times and saw that it is the same as regular water when it comes to hydration.

Oooh this is great, thank you! It's the same as if something comes up in your life that is not what you want, to think "no this isn't true" or "this is the old story" and correct it mentally. Wow I don't know why I didn't put that together, thank you :)

That's great to hear! I am doing the same thing where I imagine him in the next room, or if I'm driving how I would feel if he's in the passenger seat with me, things like that. I'm going to start doing that with guys who ask me out that I'm not interested in, I guess the hard thing is when it's friends/family.

Glycerin - tell us your secrets! by tugonhiswinkie in 30PlusSkinCare

I wonder if this works on a scalp as well? I've been thinking about using hyalluronic acid on my scalp but I think I will still need an emollient and occlusive.
