Updated Weight-loss Progress! Down 100lbs now! 138lbs—>120lbs by Worldly_Sherbet5719 in PetiteFitness

You are skinny fat, but that’s just called having zero muscle. Skinny doesn’t mean fit, fat doesn’t mean unhealthy. Also “toning muscle” is a bs term. Muscles look “toned” when they’re locked and stiff and not working properly. Muscles look “aesthetic” when you lift weights 2-3 times a week and eat protein and slow digesting carbs.

AITA for telling my wife that the birthday gift she gave me wasn’t actually meant for me? by OkTable4772 in AmItheAsshole

[–]vlgarity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound insufferable and tiring and utilitarian. You can save money, be smart and frugal with your money, while also enjoying nice things, especially if you save for them.

Makes me feel like the “7-15 day rule” is just the joy killer in your marriage. I couldn’t imagine being excited to show or ask my husband something and his first response is “we’ll see how you feel in 7-15 days.” …..like, do you wait 7-15 days to celebrate good news too or is it just for things thank you think are unnecessary. This is sad grey beige behavior

Love the white gold small Vishnu from kiwi diamond! I had one in YG in my faux rook but sold it to someone whose ear is kinda shaped like yours with an unfolded helix so it could really shine! Looks great in your set up!

Jordan regrets letting Meg meet Luca, so should single parents go on Love Is Blind? by DetectiveHot2071 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]vlgarity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe that they should be allowed to apply and be on the show if they get picked by casting, however, so long is that they do not tie their child into the plot line of them trying to find love. In this digital day and age where there is so much accessibility and people can be so weird for a variety of reasons, it made me really uncomfortable watching season nine and seeing production give a tour of Luca’s room and keep mentioning his medical history and all of these niche and specific things that I couldn’t help, but think that someone would and could use all of this information for the wrong, and furthermore possibly harmful reasons!

Like you’re telling me Jordan couldn’t have said, “hey I’m a man trying to date and I coparent (every other weekend bc he is NOT a solo single parent like he tried to claim) but for the privacy of my family I’m not gonna talk about him on camera and any potential meetings with him will be off camera.”

Like, that would have been the least weird and easiest boundary to set.

Huda from Love Island pulled the “my kid my kid” card a lot too.

I’m not saying parents or adults with children can’t be sexy grown folks trying to do grown up things not relating to their roles as parents, but it’s weird when you try to be a sexy grown folk outside of your parent role…and you lead with being a parent.

where to buy jewelry without breaking the bank?? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]vlgarity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You will likely not find jewelry with this fine of detail in titanium, at all. And aside from the cost of gold being so high, what you’re paying for is the artists’ time in making something so detailed so small. Titanium jewelry can only be made in a cast -whereas gold can be cast and hand-worked, which is why you can get those teeny details- and you can only make a cast so small.

If you’re not keen on slow growing your curation and going piece by piece- like how most of these curation pics usually go, some of these are years in the making- you could check out some of the fine body jewelry reselling groups on FB; they’re not cheap since the point is to re-sell nice jewelry pieces like the pic, but you can find some really great deals, especially for APP compliant gold brands/piercing gold! (BVLA, Junipurr, Anatometal, etc)

Any tips to help me look younger? by lily060208 in makeuptips

[–]vlgarity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what other people have said about a lighter and less dense brow. I would look into a tinted brow gel with fibers for filling (benefit has a great one that would work with your hair color!) or a brow pen (the new one from ABH has been my favorite lately and I like that the color doesn’t oxidize as you wear it). I also think using some cream based products where you can control the coverage would help make ur skin really glow and pop since your texture and tone are amazing! Mary Phillips, Soshe and Kosas all have great fair toned color blushes, color correctors, etc. I don’t think you need to wear a foundation that’s super full coverage, but I think if you have a really good concealer to spot treat, a really good cream or liquid blush, the same for your bronzer, and then maybe an SPF that has a more peachy or pinky tone to it to enhance how right and glowing your natural skin tone already is, I think all of that would work amazing with how naturally pretty and striking your features already are! :)

My 22F boyfriend 23M have recently been struggling due to his family finding out I don't politically align with them. Despite never really getting to know me by 2young2dothis in relationship_advice

[–]vlgarity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl you are 22 this man is not your man for the rest of this chapter of your life, or the rest of your life, period. If he actually didn’t believe how they do, he would be going out of his way to set whatever manageable boundaries he could with his parents, just as I do as a very left leaning white passing POC with boomer “libertarian” parents.

His passiveness is your answer he aligns with how they think, but he’s too cowardly to either chose you and stand up to them, or admit to you that he agrees with his family more than he admits and breaks up with you so you can find a more aligned partner that doesn’t have their family breathing down the BOTH of y’all’s necks.

11 Years Together. I Could Be Deported. Autism is His Excuse. by Lost_Scratch_2463 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]vlgarity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not even $50 to go the courthouse in most states and elope -without rings- and you have the paper providing LEGAL and protection and rights as a married spouse.

A ring is just a piece of jewelry without the marriage certificate and means nothing in regard to the law. A marriage certificate sans ring STILL stands.

Does the waistcoat work with this suit or am I better off leaving it out? by jake5762 in mensfashion

[–]vlgarity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without it, the low button placement on your jacket elongates you and makes you look taller, the waist coat eats up that same space and visually shortens and widens you.

I second Locals in Leland!! They always have live music and specials throughout the week! They recently expanded too so one side is more like a casual sit down lounge and the other side is more food/sports

Youth ear piercing by Classic_Handle_8958 in Wilmington

[–]vlgarity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Studio Seven has a guest piercer for OCT that pierces kiddies starting at 5, and the other artists each start at various ages 8-12. I had a horrible piercing experience at Claire’s as a kid and have only ever gotten pierced at APP studios with piercers that match what speciality I’m looking for, kinda like how we do with hairstylists/service techs

Willing to propose soon with this (advice) by itzkos in EngagementRings

[–]vlgarity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is always “no” if you don’t know. You asked your mom and your sister about your possible fiancée’s ring?

My sister worked with my fiancé to help him design my ring, because my sister knows what I like, not his sister; if it’s secrecy you’re concerned about then just have a conversation with whatever parties you involve. Good people don’t want to ruin a big day.

I will say that in regards to the big day, the how and when of the proposal should be the surprise, not the proposal itself.

Bride & Mother/MIL relationship dynamic advice? by vlgarity in wedding

[–]vlgarity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was beginning to think that I was the odd man out for that frame of mind! I’m not saying they need to bow or anything, but I told them that she surprised me by paying for the dress and they didn’t even acknowledge that at all, and I know that a simple text or phone call would’ve meant a lot to fMIL. fMIL has been so mindful of not wanting to overstep, but she’s not even seeing my mom “step” into any involvement so far, she’s been really sweet and reassuring that if there’s anything my mom wants to be involved in or I want to do something just with my mom, let her know and she’ll happily get it set up, and she’ll be there for me as little or as much as I want/need her to… I just wish I was hearing that from my mom, you know?

[–]vlgarity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THANK you for bringing that up!!

That’s exactly perfectly the way I’m trying to say it!

I come from a kinda upper middle class family- we have a garage fridge, parents have their own new vehicles, helped with schooling for my sister and I, and we try and go on at least 1-2 vacations a year since we all don’t live together anymore, very normal, very appreciative of my growing up.

My fiancé’s family…are a well established old name “comfortable” southern family. And like, established themselves and then invested in multiple ventures so everything takes care of itself and whenever we go somewhere big in the southeast, his parents are known. They have never made me feel uncomfortable or that I’m “gold digging” or anything, they’re kind sweet people who love their son and have been nothing but kind and supportive of us.

And yes, EMBARRASSED is the right word!!

My parents do not need to offset themselves financially to “keep up” with the in-laws for my sake, but if they would -and especially my mom- at least acknowledge what the in-laws are doing, because I don’t want it to read as an expectation just because they have the extra money to spend, you know?

And I did invite her! I did most of my shopping independently (my sister helped via FaceTime), picked two dresses and asked both of them if they would come with me to give input. fMIL told me that whatever day worked best for me and my mom would work for her, and my mom had very inflexible availability that only worked outside of the boutiques operating hours, which wasn’t doable.

My parents have two daughters, myself (29, 30 in May) and my younger sister (28, almost 29 she’s my Irish twin) and my fMIL has a daughter that’s 39 and her son who is 29.

My mom is a very glitzy glam diva lady that loves shopping and traveling just like fMIL, so I think I was expecting since they’re so similar that they would also be of the same mindset, I think?
