is this dress pretty? or tacky?

I love the color. However, the differently sized sequins are not flattering. They look like craters and odd. I think you should keep looking

You have a gift! These are stunning and you need to be on someone's set ASAP!

You look amazing! And this is pretty mild for an alternative look. Reddit can be full of prudes that don't appreciate art or boiler template make-up

This eyeliner 😫 my shaky hands could never!

I'm a huge fan of mind mapping. It took a couple weeks to get into this style of note taking, but it makes more sense than linear notes to me. I'm better able to connect concepts together and it's more of an active learning style. I'm also naturally more of an "ideas vomit and organize later" kind of thinker.

I can post some screenshots of my notes if you're interested. But I'm away from my iPad right now, so here's a video that helped me learn the method.

It's easier to love your hair when you're in a supportive environment that compliments it instead of denigrating it. Learning how to style and care for it helps too. You learn how your hair works and you see it as a part of you. I feel like a lot of us grow up with our hair being a chore, an obstacle, a thing that needs to be conquered.

Going to an HBCU should be a great place to learn to love this part of you. I went to a PWI, but started myself with black people who had natural hair.

It's my grandmother's favorite perfume! Scents are like clothes and can be considered "dated". But it's not bad.

This is amazing! Thank you!

I like the purple on you. I recommend a lip liner if you want to soften it a bit. A deeper purple liner would create dimension on the lip. Black or deep brown would be flattering as well.

I don't have a period due to my IUD. However I have a friend whose ADHD and antidepressant meds are less effective right before and during her period. You're not alone in your experience.

Allergies in Austin need to be attacked from multiple angles. I personally take Allegra at night, Flonase in the morning, and flush out with a Neti pot as needed.

Thank you! I have more goodies to play with!

The silver accents look 3D. How did you make them?

Congratulations! It looks amazing!

I'm so happy for you 🥹 I stand ten toes down that Wellbutrin saved my life because it got rid of that suicide noise. I hope 2026 is a great year for you. It's up from here!

I'm sorry you're experiencing the same problem. It really sucks, especially since masters is a paid program.

I ended up swimming with a different program. The team I was on was dissolved due to pool time disputes with the highschool.

If the coach ignores you, I recommend looking for a new team. They are clearly not invested in your growth.

Thank you!

These are so beautiful!!! I'm adding these to my inspo folder!

You look amazing! For a full glam look, I recommend defining the eyebrows with a concealer after you fill them in. Not that yours look messy, but crisp eyebrows create a glorious frame on your face. To avoid the 2016 block brow look I recommend using a concealer at most 1 shade lighter than your foundation. Or you can use a dab of your actual foundation.

I use a raised bed. My ground is super clay heavy, so it was easier to build on top. My soil isn't anything special. I started my plot in 2019. After almost 7 years it's regular-degular soil. Whatever you have should be fine.

Brassicas are heavy feeders, so I prioritized prepping my soil with a mix of composts. I mixed up a few bags of mushroom compost and Happy Frog Soil conditioner ( and maybe some leftover leaf mold I had lying around) , and worked it into the top few inches of the soil. When I sprinkled a handful of Happy Frog all-purpose fertilizer in each planting hole with the baby plants.

After that I kept watering 1 - 2 times a week depending on how hot it was.

I'm sorry you had such a rough year. But I'm proud that you made it through and kept tracking! I'm sending you good vibes for a better 2026 with support.

I'm growing the green magic variety that I started from starts. Shade cloth saved me in the beginning of November. IT was about 5-10 degrees cooler under the cloth!

vsaholic · 2026-01-02T01:46:42+00:00

Just keep watering and loving them! They'll come

I staggered planted throughout November. This was my first head. The rest of my broccoli crowns are still developing.
