My biggest problem area is under my eyes. I look tired easily. I don’t think I need a filler, but I need to investigate more.
The best solution is probably to stop drinking, but no. I like to drink wine occasionally or have a cocktail.
I get an occasional facial. I actually want to start getting them regularly. I think my aging skin could benefit from some extra care and I’m not ready for any type of injection or peels or whatnot.
Oh, I should amend, videos are fine, not necessarily classes. I need something to guide me through a few workouts. I do some work on my own, but it’s a kid of what I remember from Pilates and PT.
My pilates instructor had her 2nd baby yesterday and is on maternity leave for the next three months. We were doing virtual classes for the entire pandemic.
Is there an app or classes any of you are taking that you really like? I work out on my own, but I’d like to incorporate some classes too.
Thanks! My skin gets super dry in the winters. Our dehumidifier helps a little, but I def need stronger moisturizers.
ETA: Ugh. humidifier. Not dehumidifier. My brain is a little fuzzy this week.
@Copa, what’s the moisturizer your derm recommended?
Happy 42nd birthday to me, in three days!!!
Covid test came back positive. But My throat is no longer on fire. Mostly some congestion now. I’m resting and will take the 10 day quarantine, despite the CDC saying it can be 5 days if vaxed and boosted.
I haven’t had any issues with gel manicures. I don’t get them consistently. I’ll only get back to back if I have a few events or happenings over several weeks in a row.
I do prefer to get them removed at my salon over at home.
I have fairly week nails In general FWIW.
Yeah. What @Kate said. In Belize, we did the test at the resort. In Ireland, it was at the airport. And in Belize, people were even wearing masks outdoors. Tourists weren’t, but people who obviously lived there were.
Thanks @Copa. My dr. ordered a Covid and a strep test, so going to get tested this afternoon. She said I should have the strep test results today and Covid results tomorrow. It’s all through NW Medical Center.
As for foreign travel, I went to both Belize and Ireland last year. I honestly felt safer in both places than here, in Chicago. People took mask wearing seriously. As @Fyodor mentioned, I was mostly concerned w/ getting home. I’d bring your laptop w/ you in case you did get stuck.
Both places it was easy to find and get an appropriate PCP test to return home.
With that being said, I don’t know how I’d feel right now with Omicron raging, but if in a month it’s looking better and cases have already peaked, I’d probably still consider going.
EDT: I legit was more concerned going home for Xmas, to an area where I know people don’t take Covid seriously, don’t where masks, aren’t getting vaxed, than I was going to a foreign country.
Telehealth scheduled in a few minutes already. I love my PCP!! This is the exact reason I wanted one and visit her every year for my check up.
Good luck @kate. I’d def be multi-tasking.
