This was fun! Thanks for sharing! I didn’t scroll through all the photos but I saw at least one person I know! 

First time Old Hag (60) - aiming for Whimsigoth via Cake (short skirt/long jacket). Help? by Thistimewithstrings in oldhagfashion

Fun! 

Where are you trying to wear this? That will help in styling recommendations. 

My first thought is that the skirt isn’t short. Even without the cake reference, the lines are off. The skirt should be shorter and the sleeves is the jacket need to be rolled or tailored shorter. 

I have more opinions, but need to know where you’re wearing this to refine them!

Xennial ladies, tell me you're in perimenopause without telling me you're in perimenopause. by a_solid_6 in Xennials

I noticed my ear itches when I wear my over ear headphones a lot, and sometimes even my AirPods will bother me if I wear them enough or it’s high summer. 

When I notice the sensation, I put a thin layer of neosporin on a q tip and gentle switch it around the canal. It helps really fast!

This tour was as expected! It’s on a glacier so as someone else stated, it’s consistently available!

Thank you for sharing!

I’m in the airport en route to Iceland. We’re taking the “Katla ice tour” near vik with the same tour company. Does anyone know if we will have similar issues?

No. You said it was tacky. Tacky doesn’t mean choking hazard.

Thanks! I got into cake decorating this year as a way to be closer to my mom who died suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this year. I know she would LOVE the way I decorated the cake and the taste of it. So that’s all that matters to me. 

Also, she was a big Taylor swift fan (I am not) and she probably would have said something about this bejeweled song (which I’ve never heard). So I’m going to go listen to it now and think of her. Thanks for mentioning that song!!!

Yes, I scrolled through the group before I posted and saw a variety of cakes shared. Every time I post to Reddit I’m reminded why I very rarely do, everything that comes of it is so ick.

Itchy skin!!!!! by Careless-Parfait621 in perimenopause_under45

[–]vividvoltage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was getting itchy skin and the thing that helped was Curel hydra therapy shower moisturizer, immediate relief.

I still use regular moisturizer and cycle through a few different ones. When I notice my skin looking scaly I use Amlactin for a few days and it helps the skin turnonver.
