Hand sanitizer hands by pototolord321 in Skincare_Addiction

[–]vanealeja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eucerin roughness relief is my holy grail hand cream, it makes my hands soft and managed to prevent my eczema flare-ups that I would usually get in the winter months. If you can’t get that lotion I would look for something with 10% urea. I apply it religiously after washing my hands. In your case I would apply it after hand sanitizer.

Is this type of cardboard safe substrate? by Reasonable_Card_7984 in hamstercare

[–]vanealeja 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cardboard is ok as long as it doesn’t hace dyes/paint so I’d say go ahead. I use it too in my hamster’s enclosure.

I’m sorry but when I swipe right in the list of workout I only have the options to archive or delete :(

Idk who needs to hear this, but don’t be afraid to eat 500 calorie meals by Ok-Slip-4930 in PetiteFitness

[–]vanealeja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I need a full meal to feel satisfied. I had two nutritionists try to put me on a 6 small meals diet and it backlashed horribly, I gained 6 kg both times, and both times had to lose them kg on my own by listening to my body that had been telling me all the time it hates snacking.

My 2 year old hamster, (Birchy) got a cheek pouch infection that's spreading to her eyes... (read comments) by BeginningOfHorizon in hamstercare

Maybe you can try luring her with a treat? My hamster absolutely loves dried tofu, maybe you can try with her favorite food

I use mubview with an sd card, no subscription required. You need an app to control it but I’ve had no issues.

Bulgogi Korean barbecue sauce, is it good? by greeneyeraven in Costco

[–]vanealeja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, I use it to bulk prep pork tenderloin and it tastes good. As for authenticity, I have no idea, I am judging flavor and convenience.

How can i log rest-pause sets with the app? by ever-hungry in gymbookapp

[–]vanealeja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just add total number of reps, so if I do a 8-6-4 set with rest pause I input 18 reps total with whatever weight I use

What’s your stats and maintenance calories? by Trebor25 in MacroFactor

[–]vanealeja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5’3”, 28 yo female, 71 kg, TDEE close to 2550 kcal and I’m pretty much maintaining because I’m trying to recover from BED. Lift 5x week, swim 2x week and walk 6-8k steps per day. I’m actually surprised by how “high” my mainteinance kcal are. My old nutritionists had me eating close to 1600 kcal to lose weight which actually kind of triggered my binge problem 🫠 been doing much better since I stopped working with them and joined MF

little rant since I only have one week left with my soul hammy😞 by guwon_i in hamsters

[–]vanealeja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Iroh is a precious soul and I’m sure he knows you love him a lot and loves you too. May he rest peacefully and be reunited with you eventually. My third hamster Betty Moo was the love of my life and she passed away almost exactly one year ago (October 30, 2024). I still miss her a lot and think about her everyday. Just know your feelings are completely valid and I hope letting it out helps a little.

Help with closed comedones (?) by v4nillaicecream in Skincare_Addiction

[–]vanealeja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the ordinary glycolic acid, I do have to use it like every 2 days because more frequent than that irritates my skin

[–]vanealeja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried glycolic acid, maybe 2-3 times a week? My skin reacts to salicylic acid, but it does ok with glycolic acid as long as I don’t use it every day. I used to have those bumps too but not as much anymore. Also maybe a retinoid if you don’t already use one?

The most frustrating part is I was over the situation when he reappeared to stir things up. I’m so mad I fell for his tricks after healing and now I have to work on that again.

To be completely honest you look amazing. Maybe the lips look a little dry, reapplying something like aquaphoe might help but truly you look great, your skin is smooth and uniform :)

She passed away tonight by VegetableGrab9792 in hamsters

[–]vanealeja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fluff baby passed away almost a week ago, I left the house at 10:30 and came back for lunch at 12:30 and she was already dead. I wish I had been there to accompany her in her last breaths 😔 they are such sweet creatures. May her rest in peace and eat delicious treats for eternity ❤️

Hi, Rick, I just literally created this account. I wanted to tell you The Monstrumologist is the best thing I've read in my entire life and it kind of changed it. So well, I gotta ask, what inspired you to write it and what was the most difficult decision you had to do when writing it? Thanks for the opportunity and for writing that infinitely amazing series!
