I am doing lot of things right still not getting that glow

Hi,

I am 30 female with pcos. I have correct BMI and i do workout 5 days per week with strength training 4 days.I dont eat sugar on daily basis and i have fairly good diet ( I am pure vegetarian so I dont consume meat). I get my proteins from veg sources like paneer and legumes and i take plan based protein powder. I dont drink much water which I agree but not sure if that shows up on face that quickly. I try to drink 2l of water but some days end up drinking less than 1l. I get good sleep.

I did two salicylic acid peels recently and also did MDA prior to that.

My current routine

** AM:**

  1. cleanser
  2. u eye cream
  3. moisturiser
  4. sunscreen

**PM:**

  1. Melaglow prime( has kojic acid, azelaic acid, niacinamide etc) /Tret 0.025% alternate
  2. Moisturiser

Its been less than one month with this routine. I know that its shorter period but still I have been doing skin care for years changed dermatologist recently and nothing seem to workout.

I want to know how to get that glowing skin that models and actress have. I am putting in lot of effort but still when i dont get results i get disappointed.

AI engineer from top tier company providing automation services

Hi,

I work as a Data Scientist at a top-tier fintech product company( google like) and am currently part of the AI team.

I’m looking to use my skills to help accounting businesses automate repetitive/manual processes. I don’t have an accounting background, so I’m not going to pretend I do—but I’m happy to understand your workflows and explore where AI/automation can help.

I’m starting with lower pricing as I’m primarily looking to learn and build experience. I can’t offer it completely free since I’ll be investing my time outside of my full-time job.

If you’re in accounting and have a process you think could be automated, feel free to DM me. We can discuss the requirement and pricing based on the scope.

Is it worth it to start ai automation agency as a data scientist

Hi,

I am working as data scientist at PayPal and recently we have also transitioned to building AI automations within the team. I always wanted to start something on my own. I am thinking of AI automations agency.

I know that lot of gurus on youtube oversold the dream. But I know any service is hard and not a quick rick scheme. But I wanna know

  1. Is it worth starting in 2026 and are people making good amount of money from it?
  2. Is it scalable and sustainable and does it have good retainers
  3. Which niches are best
  4. How do people provide service is it like using ghl or other tools and setting up which seems to be very simple or do they create custom automations if so how do you build them( what tools you use)

I am not developer so given my background can I do well in this ?

Should I shift my niche?

Hi,

I am from India and I have been doing local seo for my dentist client for free as I dont have case study and wanna use this as starting point. Its a new GBP so i sent qr code to be placed at clinic to gather reviews but dentist keeps delaying and I think since its for free he doesnt do it quickly.

I am wondering if I should stop doing this and start cold outreach to US clients and shift the niche to HVAC as I heard its easier to convince HVAC than medical niches.

I am also very much interested in medspa as as a woman I am one of the medspa patient too and I am very much into skin care so I know a lot about the services. But not sure if this also is best reason to choose medspa.

Also I am worried about HVAC because its a men dominated field and I dont know if there will be any issues with me being woman and Indian. Also would they respond to cold emails or do they respond only to calls because it will be difficult for me to call them.

Really need your thoughts on this. I am totally helpless now.

Phone number is not showing up even after contacting help

Hi,

I am working for a dentist client and its a new gbp listing. Everything js done but the phone num alone is not showing up. When i click edit profile there i can see the phone num but its not showing on listing.

First time google told they don’t know if its real number attached to practice so they want some proof of banner etc. then I added photos of banner with number and still after raising multiple help requests nothing happens.

What to do? Have anyone faced issue like this?

Does dyson styling last after 2 days in my case?

Hi

I am planning to buy dyson aiwrap id. I have very dry frizzy fine 3b curly hair. I am tired of cgm and planning to use dyson and style my hair daily as it doesnt damage hair as much as straightening tools and chemical treatments.

I wash my hair every 3 days. If I style my hair using dyson on day 1 does that stay for next 2 days? I dont expect it to stay like it was on day 1 but hoping it would be better than my normal curly frizzy hair. Note that I go to gym daily and I put pony at that time. So given these I wanna know how long does it last.

Also, if i use dyson every 3 days is it too frequent and will it destroy my hair?

Note: assume that I use proper heat protection and sleep on silk pillows.

Highly appreciate your thoughts before buying such an expensive hair tool.

Does dyson airwrap damage hair

Hi,

I have fine 2c type curly hair. My hair is frizzy and doesnt have weight of its own. It flies away easily in wind. I am tired of curly hair routine. Its too much and doesnt even last. Also the fact that I cant even comb my hair is weird for me as i am used to combing my hair. Plus I like wavy hair look than curly hair.

Now, i researched many ways like hair botox, keratin etc and found that dyson airwrap could be good option as its claimed as less damaging.

I need to know how effective is dyson for my hair type, how long will the style stay, can I handle it normally or should I not touch my hair, sleep on silk pillows etc to maintain that style, and mainly does it damage my hair because i have fine hair and how frequently can i use it. I am planning to mainly use the curling barrel and style my hair.

Ps. Im so insecure about my hair and its messing up with my mind a lot lately

Deeply regretting my decision

Hi,

I am lesbian 29 from India. I have very good tech job high paying. I had all the luxury to pursue MS in US when I was 22. But stupid me who didnt have proper planning about future dismissed it thinking i didnt have a proper reason to do MS in US at that time as I had good paying job and spending money seemed a bad decision. But now, i feel like a failure in life because I cant go to US at this age. I dont wanna do MS now given how unstable political situation is for immigrants. Also my company usually sponsors its a big company. It sponsors L1 visa but after covid that also reduced. In fact most of the companies don’t even sponsor visas. I am talking about US only because opportunities for tech is huge. Plus I also run my agency ( side hustle)in the side. Even if it picks up i cant move anywhere. I feel comfortable with few countries only not anywhere else.

I cant sleep well because of this. I keep self sabotaging myself that I should have done MS at that time only because I knew i am into women from my childhood. Idk how I missed it and made my life extremely miserable

Ps: just wanted to vent it out and hear some thoughts that could calm my mind.

Unable to decide the future for me

Hi, I’m a 29-year-old lesbian from India. I work as a data analyst (though due to AI, I now do a lot of AI-related work too — RAG, LangChain, etc.,) at a really good product company, and I earn quite well.

Two years ago, I had a passion to build something of my own. After a lot of overthinking, I finally started an agency and landed my first client for free, with plans to expand into the US market. But now I’ve lost motivation for the agency because I feel clueless about where it’s leading.

I keep overthinking: even if my agency becomes really successful, what’s the point if I can’t move out of India and settle in the US, London, Canada, Netherlands, Germany, or other LGBT-friendly cities? Please don’t judge me, but I don’t want to live in Malta, Greece, etc. I’m okay with Thailand, because I’ve watched a lot of Thai GL dramas and feel a connection to it, plus it’s cheaper and LGBT-friendly. It has a destination visa, but I can never become a citizen there. For the other countries, I’d need a job anyway, so if a job is the path regardless, what’s the point of focusing on the agency — even if it hits $20k a month? I can’t take it with me.

My main reason for wanting to move is my sexuality and the freedom to live authentically. Here, people constantly pressure me and give me that pitying look for being an unmarried woman. I wish i were straight so that I dont have to go through lot of these difficult decisions😢

I’m so torn by this that I can’t even start working on my agency. I don’t know what future I’m trying to build for myself. When I think about just focusing on my job, I feel a deep pain, because I’m so invested in the idea of building something of my own. I’m so confused.

I initially planned to keep my job while building the agency on the side, until I could get a job abroad (L1 visa for the US, or a work visa elsewhere). But now I feel like — what’s the use of all this effort if I can’t bring my agency with me and might have to drop it anyway once the job route works out? I’m torn between these two paths, and it’s genuinely killing my peace.

I appreciate thoughts from you to help me find some clarity in my future

Ps: I know getting l1 visa/job abroad and agency growth is still long way to go. But im here talking about choosing a path and working towards it and ik everything is difficult
