Commonly it's thought of as between red and purple. I don't know where pink comes from.

A lot of them are plastic now which means they're pretty much room temp

I don't think tattoos have been about rebellion in a long time. It's just art for your body.

Ahhhh this is really useful, thank you!

I still rock a wallet chain (and I made the chain myself!).

And I agree with the person who mentioned unisex things like Doc Martens, Chucks, and flannels - those are pretty much staples for me.

The one thing I can't do but really wish I could is men's cuts of clothing. I'm only 5'0" and have a pretty aggressive hourglass shape, plus weightlifting has given me big glutes, hams, quads, shoulders, and biceps, so it's really easy for clothes to make me look dumpy and stout if they're baggy at all. In men's clothes if something fits in the chest and hips it's gonna be super baggy in the midsection, and make me look chunky. So even though I have about 5-8 vanity pounds I'd like to lose, mostly in my lower belly, I try to stick to more fitted clothes because at least those don't make me look heavier than I am.

This is perhaps dumb, but I'm going to a bridal shower for a woman who I used to live next door to and babysat as a little girl in the '90s. She was too young when we moved away to remember me, but she's grown up hearing all about me, my mom, and my sister, so I guess she wanted to invite us to her shower? It's surprising but sweet. Other than the bride and her mom, I won't know anyone there except my own mom (my sister can't make it). A gathering of strangers is pretty far out of my comfort zone, plus I'll be wearing a dress (which I normally don't do), but I'm determined to be charming and not awkward, and to have a nice time. So that's what I will be doing well this week.

A nice side effect is that it gives me an excuse to have my hair color touched up and get a pedi, so no complaints there!

No, it also controls grease to some extent.

 

Hi friends! I'm looking to buy a fragrance and am hoping you guys might have some suggestions.

I want something that screams "peach" without being powdery or overly floral. I'm hoping for something gourmand/lactic (but not overly sweet!), fruity, or lightly floral (wearable in the daytime), or to go in another direction completely, something peach with spice, an evening scent sort of like Angel Share Paradis by Kilian (but peach instead of raspberry).

I'm more interested in perfumes, less interested in body sprays, but will give anything a shot.

Things I've already tried include Phlur's Apricot Privée, Phlur's Peach Skin, and Ellis Brooklyn's Peaches. Out of these, I like Peaches the most, but it's kind of a simple scent. I'd like something a little more complex. I had high hopes for Peach Skin but the sandalwood is really overwhelming (it smells so powdery!). And Apricot Privée is more complex but also smells very powdery and although it's spicy, I feel like it's an old-fashioned kind of spicy, if that makes sense.

And if there's not a single fragrance that fits the bill, I could try layering Peaches with something else. Maybe with Angel Share, or with an amber?

 

I don't know where else to share this, but I'm so proud of myself so I've gotta post it somewhere. I've finally got my first unassisted pull-up! It wasn't a goal I was working super hard toward, but I've noticed a lot of new muscle definition in my back, probably because I do a lot of rows, especially bird-dog rows and renegade rows. So I tried a pull-up and I was able to do one pretty easily! Not bad for a middle-aged lady! Now I've got a goal to do three. :)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 and I just got the new OneUI update. Now when I watch media in Jerboa there's an annoying scrolling notification that appears:

How do I get rid of this?

Also how do I get rid of whatever this is in my edge tray?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I figured out the first one, search settings for the Now Bar and disable whatever you don't want to see

Hey friends. I've recently realized that what I thought were freckles is actually melasma, and my dermatologist has prescribed me tretinoin for it. I have very pale skin, generally normal in the winter and a little oilier in the T-zone during the summer, but it can dry out really badly with things like AHA. From what I've heard, tret is pretty drying. My dermatologist recommended that I start with applying it only two nights a week, and using a pea-sized amount mixed into my moisturizer. I use the Tatcha Water Cream moisturizer, which is pretty light and has been great for me, but with tret I'm wondering if I'll need a heavier moisturizer. I'm also worried that my usual double-cleansing will worsen the dryness from tret. I double-cleanse with an oil balm to remove my mineral sunblock, then with the Tatcha Rice Wash to get rid of the sunblock & oil balm residue. But I'm thinking the rice wash might be irritating because it's got a (mild) physical exfoliant, so maybe I need to find something else for my second cleanse?

Does anyone have any experiences to share about dryness on tret, or just starting tret in general? Anything I should be aware of? I'm weirdly nervous about it!
