Mannn, I was expecting a lot of gore and not a great message. As a woman, the amount of suffering, abuse, sexual abuse, rape, and torture we go through as a collective really makes you empathize with this movie so strongly. Just wow, I can’t believe I feel the way I do about it. It’s very cathartic as a woman who has been abused by multiple people throughout my life time. I highly suggest it to anyone who has experienced the same (who isn’t triggered by seeing abuse of course). This is my first French horror and I’m beyond excited to dive into the rest!

I was deferred 4 times for having an extremely high heart rate, around 120. I tried again today, not really expecting to pass- I had one headphone in and listened to heart rate slowing beats on YouTube the whole time I waited and it they actually worked, ended up with a heart rate of 74. It was my first time being able to donate and wheewww it was fucking scary. I’ve donated blood/whole blood and always had a great experience doing it. I don’t know if the phleb didn’t place the needle exactly right or what but that shit was painful. I had tears in my eyes the whole time, I almost asked them to stop but I figured I was strong enough to get through it. Once the machine said 70, I pumped my ass off trying to get done as fast as possible. I almost broke down when my machine turned green and I still had to wait another 15 min for them to remove the needle from me. All in all though, I ended up with $180 in my pocket with the new donor bonus plus my referral bonus from referring my boyfriend. I would probably just give up and never go back if I hadn’t referred him, now I’ll go even though I hate it because I don’t want him to have to be doing it alone especially after I suggested we do it for extra money for our upcoming trip/savings. I’m wondering if maybe other donation centers are better too, the Grifols we go to is soooo unfriendly, makes the experience 10 times worse. I was also stupid and wore shorts because I honestly was expecting to get deferred. I brought a blanket every other time I went but not this time so I was shivering so hard towards the end and the shivering tensed up my arm which made it even more painful. I had to keep staring at the poster on the wall that had pictures of the plasma recipients and their stories to keep my ass from giving up.
Edit- On a positive note, I felt fine after and feel great now, no weird side effects for me…just the stinging needle during the process (and cold staff)😅

I’m super excited but nervous and looking for your best tips. The company is super casual and chill and that’s a big part of their brand. I’m naturally very excited and happy but I don’t want to be *TOOO* much. One of their big points was not to be too salesy. From what I’ve gauged about the company, it seems like some hosts are over-the-top *on* and excited and some are a lot more laid back. Do you feel like you do better being on and overly excited or more laid back? Thank you! 😊 ❤️
Also- how do you keep the conversation going for 8 hours? Any tips for that? Do you ever lose your voice? lol

I just got hired as a full-time live host/ social media content creator for a big brand. Looking for any pointers! ❤️❤️

It seems like such a small issue but I’m so upset and frankly fcking pissed. Today was Mother’s Day and I brought my boyfriend’s mom flowers and a card. At the end of the gathering, they served cake. My boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend and I were leaving because we had somewhere to be. I asked my boyfriend “can you please save me this cake? I really like it.” I handed it to him in the To Go container all ready to go. I reiterated “please don’t forget and save it for me.” He agreed. I get home and ask for the cake, he says “oh sorry, I didn’t bring it?” I said “why? I asked you multiple times to please bring it.” He said “my brother wanted it so I gave it to him”. We’ve had issues with his brother talking to me disrespectfully and him never standing up for me. I know for a fact his brother heard me say to please save it. I also know he saved it to bring home to his own girlfriend. I’m so hurt and all he said was “We had such a good day and you have to let this one thing ruin it”.
