Catching up on some of the last ten or so pages of the forum, I really need to go back 50(?) or more but another time.
Copa: what are the dates of your London/Ireland adventure? I’ll be in Ireland the 16-22, then London the 22-25th.
It’s been so lovely in Chicago lately.. tons of walking around and people-watching all the Swifties over the weekend. The boots! The sequins! The beaded bracelets! I dont pretend to understand half of it, but it was fun to see the styles
hooray! Copa! that’s exciting :). How has living together been? I can’t remember, did you guys buy this newish place that you are in?
@Rangerchic.. i mentioned this earlier on the thread but this is something nonsurgical for the eyelids..

Okay I’ll DM you. i love her, i’ve been seeing her for nearly 15 years and shes is very kind, relatively similar age range and will also have good recommendations for skin care stuff too. It may be a wait to get in, but might as well book now
@wendy, I will have to book with Jen too! the guasha facial looks very nice 🙂
Ktfran, have I given you the name of my dermatologist before? I see her very, very, very regularly.
a week straight of retinol (maybe longer? oops) and i woek up scaley and red. THANK GOODNESS I HAD MY CICAPLAST! all better now 🙂
i’ve been waxing the bikini forever. I am sensitive, but the alpha hydroxy scrub they have at the eurowax i go to helps a lot with redness and ingrowns. I can’t shave, i look like someone tried to murder me.
you will never be as smooth as the first time you wax though. Hair grows in cycles. so the first time will be pulling ALL THE HAIRS out and it will be a bit more painful than a monthly habit. At least in my experience.
I’ve done facials and microderm. i was doing microderm regularly back before my first wedding. it was really miraculous.
I haven’t done a full peel or anything, mostly baby peels (glycolic etc.. i do an at-home sweep three times a week or so in the morning before vitamin c and sunscreen/lotion). I do enjoy a good facial! relaxing, good for extractions and also tips on what the esthetician can see as far as balance. Do you need more sloughing? are you deyhdrated? too much sun? I also see my dermatologist multiple times a year. we’re thinking some baby botox soon for the forehead.. I’ve been avoiding it, but the lines aren’t getting any softer
@allornone.. yes! you can ONLY get it through the pharmacy the drug company created specifically for it, but they’re super nice. I did a manual claim with my insurance, and it SHOULD be eligible for at least part of the $$, but it’s AWESOME.
a 90 day supply is now just under $300. you don’t have to use it every day but.. i almost always do. and i have contacts and no problems with it
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 is amazing and what i use on my kids’ faces when they have wind burn or eczema flare ups. I use it over all my retinols etc when my face is getting super dry.
This is the daily sunscreen moisturizer i use from laroche.
https://www.laroche-posay.us/our-products/face/face-moisturizer/toleriane-double-repair-facial-moisturizer-with-spf-3337875545846.htmlI’ll have to try the Milk one for beach/full sun days.
So.. my eyedoctor got me a prescription for something that i am now 100% in love with. Not sure if I’ve mentioned before that one of my eyes has been drooping the last few years and its affecting how i look and see. Short of plastic surgery, there were no options. UNTIL THIS SUMMER!!
https://www.americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org/news/upneeq-fda-approved-eye-lifting-drops/IT”S AMAZING. It’s a game changer! i no longer look lopsided (for most of the day anyway), tired etc. and i can see!
allornone: got my booster friday midday and then spent the evening waffling between shivering and sweating through the sheets. Woke up stiff and sore.
Getting my booster on friday! Radiostar got his last night
@lucidity, i’m really really sorry that your hospital has that rule. When I gave birth last year (november) in the middle of wave 2, the birthing mother was allowed to remove hers once her test came back negative. Everyone else in the room wear’s one, but it’s not exciting to think about especially in the throws of childbirth.
I’m hoping they will reconsider once it’s your time. Are there any other birthing centers you can go to?
