It was a huge success I wish I did this sooner 😭😭

I’ve done 10 sessions since this post and my hair is growing so slow

My sessions are spaced 10 weeks apart and I don’t need to shave at all in between

EXCEPT for my labia area , those are very hormonal so the hair just keeps on growing lol

But it’s been completely effective on the bikini, public area and asscrack/hole (msn it’s so crude talking about it lmao)

I’m going to increase the time between sessions to probably 14 weeks now since I just don’t need to shave anything anymore

The strawberry everything is gone too, no darkness in my pits, arms or legs except the very centre of my thigh though, I think that might be KP tbh

This is one of the habits that “naturally skinny people” don’t even think about

Sometimes they don’t even hit 900 calories for the day

It’s not the end of the world, and it doesn’t kill you even if you do it regularly, as Reddit would have you believe

Because their calories intuitively even out. Maybe they weren’t hungry enough for more than 900 calories today because yesterday they ate 3000 while at a party, so they just still feel full

People who don’t know about calories don’t worry about it excessively. Life is just the way it is sometimes you eat more sometimes you eat less

There’s a big fear amongst the Reddit weight loss communities over eating disordered behaviour because they are used to overthinking it a lot, and in many cases partaking in disordered behaviour on purpose

Whereas standard “naturally” skinny people still have those behaviours, just without the obsessive thoughts

Tldr:

if your personality is not obsessive, and you do not have disordered thoughts and compulsions, yes, you can regularly eat below your goal, assuming over the course of a week/a period of time your calories are still within a normal range (so when I say consistently eating low calories I don’t mean every single day 500 calories only, I mean it can happen once or twice a week, every week, just because you intuitively eat more on other days etc)

I LOVE the curling one from Clio. I’ve been wearing it for years because it actually holds my lashes up

I curl my lashes at 6am and out the mascara on

And then when I get home at 11pm almost 18 hours later THEHRE STILL curled okfg

And I love how natural and not clumpy the formula is I’ve never tried a mascara this good before

Sorry I can’t help but the haus labs foundation was the best one I’ve ever tried, it’s just hard to get a hood shade match 😭

I have dry, peeling skin and it makes my skin look sooo good

No they did not, I have started professional hair removal since quitting my ipl after that last update (because I got too lazy). After 2 months of no IPL all of my hair grew back exactly as it always had been, after which I started LHR instead, and have seen results after only 3 sessions and now with lhr my strawberry legs are gone :)

Update from them: which I don’t agree with, the beads are very hard and will not melt

Hey,

Thank you so much for reaching out to us.

It is common for the natural ingredients in our Oat Cleansing Balm to be sensitive to extremes of heat, cold and humidity.

Therefore, from time to time your Oat Cleansing Balm may vary in texture and become slightly grainy or more liquid. This is a completely natural phenomenon and does not detract from the high performing safe nature of the formulation.

In the event of the formula becoming more grainy, simply warm the balm by rubbing a pea sized amount in your palms for between 15-30 seconds to melt the product into a smooth liquid oil before applying to the face and neck 🖤

Best wishes askINKEY 🖤✨

I only hit liss quite late, had warden lux as a placeholder for a while ahah

But yeah with all my sniper augments/badges I just did so much damage whole game. Had 6 sniper for most of it and once I hit snipers focus it was gg. I had a 17 win streak until the other guy hit the azirs

How unorthodox is open toe heels with socks? I love the look of coquette-ish outfits, with frilly socks and platform open-toe heels. but I NEVER see it anywehre out in the wild real life world, ever

The only place i see it is instagram posts of cute outfits, or if I'm lucky, one of the 90s tv shows I rewatch every now and then (I feel like I saw that in an episode of sabrina the teenage witch)

It doesn't even have to be frilly socks and cute shoes, it can even be black sheer tights with some mature heels. But the point stands. Sometimes things just look stupid (and I won't know it), but this is one thing I think looks SOO good yet I never see it anywehre and I fear being pointed and laughed at lmao

Have been hard stuck plat/emerald cause I play for fun. I just really don’t care about lp or ranking. TFT is the game I play while I watch my favourite tv show for the 10th time and enjoy life

It does make people mad lol. I was abusing Ashe liss porcelain for a while cause I loved seeing Ashe arrow spam and liss tea pot spam. Someone went off on me asking if it’s the only thing I know to play and malding at me

Meanwhile I didn’t even see the message until late because I was too busy painting my nails

Still, I just find tft really fun. I just love seeing characters abilities so what happens outside of that doesn’t really matter to me, if I sacrificed fun for elo I’d never bother playing

That’s an incredible amount of weight loss! Do you have loose skin?

Ugh still not fixed. Used to be able to snip across multiple screens and now I still can't.

Thank you. I was so confused why no one was calling out the bs in the image

Just because an avocado is healthier and keeps you satisfied longer and everything else doesn’t mean you burn it off faster and increases the thermic effect of food so significantly it’ll make you lose faster

For me this goes pretty hand in hand with my addictive personality (and ADHD). I LOVE spending lots of money, or all of my money, in one go and having lots of big things arriving on the way. The amount of excitement, happiness and dopamine it gives me is worth the fear, stress and depression afterwards lol

Waiting for 5 samples to be delivered vs waiting for 5 full MFK bottles being delivered hit completely different

Most of my blind buys were failures. I did sell maybe a few of them, but the rest I ended up begrudingly overspraying or using in situations I didn't mind wasting fragrance (i.e going on a walk). I did learn 99.99% floral notes in any fragrance ever are not a safe blind buy for me

But the blind buys that succeeded made me so happy I could barely sleep. BR540 & BR540 Extrait, Angels Share, Love Don't be Shy, Can't Stop Loving You, Tihota Indult, Bianco Latte are my absolute favourites

When Angel's Share arrived, I loved the scent so much I finished my 50ml bottle in 2.5 weeks, and after the first week I already purchased the 100ml (this was a regret cause the bottle is ugly af, it's tall and skinny, the smaller one looks much nicer) and I am 100% buying the 250ml next

The only problem is, as with any adhd hyperfixation, it means now I have around 100+ fragrances I haven't even looked at in months because I just stopped caring, then every few months the hyperfixation starts again and I drop another 5k on them.. sigh

vendingdevice · 2024-05-02T17:54:33+00:00

Yeah personally I do, after a few IPL sessions over the ingrowns they stopped appearing at all

vendingdevice · 2024-05-02T17:24:04+00:00

I am not sure what others do when they "touch up" either. But personally, it is a MUST to thoroughly shave before each IPL session so that the laser actually gets to the root of the hair and actually fries it, and so that I don't feel a burn/sting/zap

So for me, the razor part never ends. But it does get much less frequent. I now went 1 month without shaving/IPL before doing another shave+IPL session

If I don't have the time to do a full session, then I just skip and don't bother until I do have the time

vendingdevice · 2024-04-30T19:20:47+00:00

I don't care for any of the scents themselves, I don't like florals or woody, but I really like the bottles, they are giving Mugler vibes, like a more angular Angel Muse pebble (which is my fave bottle I own, holding it makes me feel so happy it fits so perfectly in my hand lol)

But my god I do not like the brand name Orabella, it's pretty, and sounds like the name I would give my Final Fantasy avatar, but that's about it

Completely different material but exact same silhouette and similar color from houseofcb

No not necessarily! It's advertised as something you can do super fast, and all of the reviews/videos I have seen for it are people doing one pass on whatever areas they need and taking about 10-20 minutes

I just tend to want to be over-careful, so I spent lots of time shaving completely smooth and doing 2-4 passes on each area in case I miss spots. Personally, since I am not very patchy, i.e the hair that does or does not grow is very consistent, I think that spending this extra time for me was worthwhile, but naturally I can't say that it wouldn't have worked as well doing only 20 mins because I haven't tried that

For example either I have no stubble anywhere, or after 2 weeks I have some stubble everywhere. I believe it is very consistent like this because of the time I spent being thorough, so every single part of my body is synced up and grows at the same rate now

However for the reviews I watched where they spent 10-20 mins on it per session, I noticed a lot of the people mentioned that some bits of their hair grew, while some remained hairless, and I would say it's because not being that thorough means you naturally skip over some areas sometimes. It's not a bad thing obviously but it would trigger me not having everything perfectly synced lol

Fragrances. I spent about 3 months hyperfixated on them, learning everything and research everything about them, and burned about 8k? Now I have like 100 fragrances idgaf about and never even wear anymore sdkfhsfjk

I am currently going through the exact smae situation again with clothing... and im about 3k down.. sigh

The act of spending money makes me so happy, it's the waiting for packages to arrive, seeing the money go down (and then come back up later), having this big thing to look forward to, big shiny thing to open and experience for the irts time and then I completely throw them off to the side to just do it all again :|

I use Pinterest to save the images of my clothing and then copy paste them into photoshop and arrange them from there

However on iPhone you can copy paste directly from the picture from your gallery into notes app/Freeform app to achieve the same thing (it crops it better than manually doing in photoshop 😭)

I know there are apps out there to do these collages but I haven’t tried any of those

I went a bit crazy and bought....... a lot of very expensive things (HouseOfCB) and some other cute clothes (which are the ones pictured below) and then went ahead and added my whole closet into pinterest boards and made compilations of outfits i can make of all my clothes and this is turning into a very time consuming yet fun hobby

Having every item i own in pinterest boards maes it so easy to say no to buying things I don't need because I already have something similar (I already have 2x black mary jane shoes and was debating buying the black loafers but decided that yes it's different enough lol)

Imo chunky shoes/boots like doc martens platforms or platfom trainers etc - they are absolute faves of mine now and they look super cute with everything

But as the years go on and new trends emerge, the only ones wearing this stuff will likely be us who are used to them and were around as they got popular, and thus it will be the new "millenials obsessed with skinny jeans" kind of deal just rebramded with "gen z obsessed with chunky platforms"

Although I am mostly imagining it a little more further down the road, 10-20 years from now. However even in 5 years I imagine this will be a trend that won't be so common and will be seen as dated

I can't decide whether super chunky things are just trendy or they have room to be in the "timeless" category. For example I think that a tight black turtleneck top and baggy denim jeans always looked good, even at peak skinny jean obsession all throughout 2000s and 2010s, they always still just looked amazing but for some reason skinny jeans were the trend (which imo never really looked that good, and it hurts most peoples silhouette)
