I own Maine coons and one in particular is very hard to keep de-matted and has a case of stud tail that is lingering. I cannot shave him myself as he likes to be still one second, zoomies the next. Does anyone have a cat groomer they recommend ? I saw a mobile one but I’m not in the Lubbock area, I live an hour outside the city.
I’ve searched the sub for an answer but can’t quite find a clear cut one…
I micro needled 2 weeks ago this Saturday. It was my first time and don’t feel that it went as well as I had hoped.
Anyways, I have QURE skincare I invested in last year and don’t want to toss it. Because it’s so shallow/superficial would it be ok to use in between microneedle sessions that are 4-6 weeks apart?
I guess it’s a form of flattery? He always chooses my pillow with 2 other pillows to choose from and a king size bed. I guess I’m his person 🩷
My Dr.Pen came with 10 needle cartridges & I just read that they’re 36 needles. Would this be worth anything to even use them during a session on the face or should I wait until my 12’s come in?
Just curious what product you removed that was causing issues but you didn’t become aware of until later..
I have been working on my skin & routine, trial and error ofcourse but my skin was gorgeous! However, about 1.5-2 weeks ago I had decided to use the Dr D. Gross Peel Pads (universal) I had that came with my RLT Mask. Before these, I had finally got to daily use it 0.05% feet & Lactic Acid/AZ acid cream 10% rotated + moisturizer.. long story short, I used the peel pads only 2x and lowered the daily use of Tret. I have since broken out with some horrible cystic pimples like overnight it felt like, and some decently annoying peeling. My skin looks splotchy red but I have no burning, itching, crusting or oozing. I’ve decided to not use the peel pads again.
I am doing tret only 2-3x a week now, and trying to heal in between with cleanse, barrier essence, & Cicaplast Baume.
Anyone want to help me? Am I just having a set back on my skin, or did I do some damage?
First pork steak smoke & yeah, I’m in love. I had some frozen pork steaks in the fridge, and I wasn’t sure how to cook them. When it doubt, smoke it. ☺️
Rent is going to be due soon little buddy 😂
34 vs 36. In the last two years I’ve focused on myself more than ever. It was almost like a mid life crisis you could say.
I’ve had 2 sessions of Microneedling, 1 session of Erbium Laser (in April) & Dysport every 4ish months.
I stopped tanning outside & in beds. (Guilty of banana boat 4 spf tanning oil 🤦♀️)
I always wear a minimum of 40 SPF daily & 60 spf when at the pool with my kids.
I’ve spent time & money on countless products trying to create the perfect skincare routine for myself. There was so much trial & error involved. I’ve finally found one that works for me now & I am so happy with it.
In the left photo I had foundation on as well as mascara, eyeliner, lipstick & blush. In the right photo the only make up I have on is mascara & some blush.
* Edit to add : yes my teeth are white & a bit straighter. In Nov ‘25 I started a 6 month Invisalign plan. Had braces as a teen but my teeth slightly shifted over the years. I also do at home whitening with a kit from Arctic White. Teeth are just as important as skincare! Don’t forget those either ☺️
Eyebrows have been grown out and shaped. I never let them fully recover from over plucking until last year.

My sweet boy. He isn’t a lap cat at all. He only wants attention on his terms. However, he is definitely a mommas boy & will only cuddle me out of 6 people household. And it’s moments like this that calm my hectic brain from the chaos of the house. I locked myself away for 15 mins & he immediately came to my side & 45 mins later, I haven’t moved. All cats are wonderful, but not all cats are as wonderful as Mainecoons. ❤️
This is my skin with a light tinted SPF on it. I was not aware of the peeling until SPF made it noticeable .
I’ve been on Tretinoin for 4 ish weeks now, around 3-4x a week at 0.025%. Trying to up to 5x a week if possible.
Goal is anti aging properties and occasional cystic pimples
