Lunch box recs for big appetites????

Need something I can BIFL but also fit it in my big bag! My current one is NOT a beast and the drawstring broke and I could fix it but I’d rather put her out of her misery.

Let’s make the most of the last month of summer!!!

Share the most fun summery things in and around town so we can Jam Pack our schedules and get as much summer in as possible before it gets cold!

You’re building a work capsule wardrobe from scratch. What are your tried and true items that you would immediately re-buy?!

For instance, I see people talk about the Abercrombie tailored pants or the aritzia pants or certain shoes or white tops. Other people talk about the old navy cashsoft cardigans. I’m curious what you’ll keep coming back to.

For reference, i’m a 26 yo asking because although my job is casual — ie can wear jeans — I still want to step it up and look a little more put together. I am wanting to make sure I have the basics, and i’m not trying to spend 200 dollars on any one item but if that is your answer please speak your truth.

My answer (although this is not really work clothes) is the gap high rise stride wide leg black jeans. I have re purchased them maybe 3 times over as my size has fluctuated. Best fit for a girl with some hips and bum, and they offer petite! Super nice a line silhouette.

Show me your porch!!

LOVE walking thru the streets and seeing how people lay out their signature Lakewood porches. You can’t find em like that on Pinterest.

So, show me….. how have YOU laid out your porch to make it cozy and your own?!!!

Also any tips on porch decor for a budget twentysomething who doesn’t have outdoor outlets and rents, would love to hear. Like if there’s one thing that transformed your porch, what is it…. Type thing.

Also if you don’t have porch I’ll also accept garden. So many beautiful gardens around here.

Thanks fellow lakewoodians!

Airfit f40 fine when going to sleep, then leaks when asleep

Okay. Had a nose mask, was sleeping thru the night w it but tired.

Found out I had been opening my mouth thru the night and air was escaping.

Switched nose to mouth mask (airfit f40) which is comfortable now that i’m wearing a medium nose pillow. The small was too big.

It’s great to fall asleep, but 1-2.5 hrs in I wake up and take it off.

Most times I don’t remember. It’s against my will it’s my evil twin!!!!

But sometimes I wake up enough to know the seal is broken, either by the chin or nose, and air is coming out and for some reason I can’t fix it so I take it off.

What is causing this?!!!!!

All I can think of is my chin super relaxing and falling back as I get into deeper sleep but idk how that would really keep the seal broken once I am awake…

Any ideas????!

A few details
- the seal is comfy when i’m going to bed
- the past few nights the app has actually caught on to the mask leaks and told me to adjust

How do you go from the “execution” roles to the management/decision-making roles?

I’m in social media management right now, but comparing job listings in the under 100k range to the over 100k range, i’m starting to realize that execution isn’t as valuable as management. Especially with AI these days.

Being in social media right now, how can I broaden my skills to not just be social media, but other forms of marketing while also progressing towards a more valuable, high-paying role?

AKA, what jobs should I be searching for as a stepping stone?

I like researching, writing, analyzing numbers, comms and could learn paid search or other technical skills. I just don’t know where to go next. I feel stuck in my career but I want to keep growing.

Thanks, everyone!

Anyone’s sleep get better, then worse????

Like… I felt great the first week. And I’ve been wearing it religiously. But then the past few weeks i’m even more exhausted than if I was sleeping without a cpap at all.

Good news is I randomly feel less bloated….. lol

Breathing with mouth open and letting air escape + congestion

I would love to NOT get a mouth+nose mask….. what do you guys recommend to keep that dang mouth closed?!

Mouth tape?!

My bf said there was no indication I was breathing, but air was just escaping🤣

My nose also is sometimes stuffy so I wonder if that made asleep me think i needed more air?? Zyrtec doesn’t help. If anyone has any drug or whatever ideas, it’s like, stuffiness so far up there I can’t blow it out LOL

Thanks cpap mommies and papis

how does this routine look? just prescribed clindamycin and tret

apart from the vanicream cleanser, palmers oil, and vanicream moisturizer, I don’t own any of the other things yet so if you have thoughts pls share!!!! Kinda a girlie on a budget ☹️

main concern acne. not cystic, but def annoying.

thank you my hopefully soon to be fellow glass skin baddies!!

EDIT: i’m starting tret later on in the month since i have a big event I don’t want to be purging for. Maybe I start panoxyl+clinda, no vitamin c, and then wait till that’s calmed down before actually starting the tret?

trying to ease my skin in and isolate variables so I can tell what’s actually making a difference.

thank you all!

oh and the consensus is no vitamin c serum 🫡 I trust you with my life skincare gods
