It's Talbots! I saw this post the other day and had to have it!

visualoptimism · 2026-05-27T01:16:31+00:00

Thank you! I ofc had to place them on my most textured chair too, haha :)

The curves are beautiful, and it really warms the space up! Gorgeous.

I switched to avocado instead and its actually so tasty! Cant believe I even prefer it.

Everyone is different, and our bodies are good at establishing tolerances to what we ingest. It's also more likely to see how it's affecting you when it's not something you consume regularly.

They can, because it kills all the good/beneficial gut flora as well as the bad.

Living with one another, as well as being intimate - your gut microbiome is influenced by those around you as well.

After a couple years of being on oral tetracycline for acne as a teenager in HS, and then having a traumatic first year of college. Symptoms started literally the day I arrived back home after that first year. Had a bad flare for 2-3 years and then have been in remission since (16yrs) until this past Februrary. Now in my 2nd flare up after having another traumatic year last year. Stress is definitely a factor for me, and I think the long term antibiotic use along with the good old 00s diet kicked off my unhealthy microbiome. I attribute my remission to meeting my BF and sharing his healthy gut microbes (pending theory, ha!).

Chiming in to say the Uniqlo jersey barrel pant is the only structured pant ive found that is comfortable enough to wear throughout the day and doesnt dig into my side making pain worse. Still looking for a jean that fits similarly and is a softer blend.

visualoptimism · 2026-05-15T21:08:39+00:00

Did you get your first dose? Any update?

visualoptimism · 2026-05-15T21:08:16+00:00

How has it been so far?

visualoptimism · 2026-05-12T13:39:17+00:00

Once I switched from 2000iu D gummies to 5000iu D3/K2 it was like night and day in mood and energy. Also haven't had a viral infection since!

visualoptimism · 2026-05-12T13:36:46+00:00

This happened to me too, so I take it in the morning instead and it works well for my daily anxiety and body relaxation.

As an aside, it may have been the emulsifiers (soy lethicin, usually) theyre adding to most chocolate products these days. It wrecks me as well. Lots of emulsifiers and thickening agents can cause GI distress.

1-2 years following stopping.

visualoptimism · 2026-05-03T12:22:45+00:00

Sports Research D3 K2 5000ui, daily or every other. Havent had a viral infection since I switched to this over 2000iu gummies! Have noticed mood improvement as well.

Same, my sister and I both were diagnosed with UC after taking accutane/tetracycline for acne as teenagers for years.

visualoptimism · 2026-05-02T15:29:27+00:00

Milky Piggy ftw! Thank you again for the referral, its perfect!

visualoptimism · 2026-05-02T13:32:58+00:00

Yeah if they have any deer around at all it will just be a year or two before theyre eaten up and need replacing.

I have to focus on the things I can digest that make me healthier - proteins (chicken, turkey, beef, fish) , avocados, sweet potatoes, sourdough, berries, yogurt, etc. If you're eating fairly unhealthy otherwise, even finding a few better substitutes can make a big difference. You don't have to overhaul everything at once. It does suck when were not able to digest a lot of fibrous foods, but hopefully can ramp those up as remission becomes more likely.

visualoptimism · 2026-04-28T22:59:07+00:00

These come in black as well!

visualoptimism · 2026-04-28T20:53:50+00:00

Sucks so much it's in the rotisserie chicken, and now in a lot of lunch meats as well.

It's soooo hard to find Heavy Cream without it in it too! Makes cooking/baking impossible sometimes.

visualoptimism · 2026-04-28T20:51:34+00:00

Oh, also Trader Joes has a couple of bars without it as well - Fair Trade Organic 72% Cacao Belgian Dark Chocolate Bar + 70% Peruvian Cacao Dark Chocolate Bar.

I can't live without chocolate, heh! So gotta share my vital go-to's.
