Kinda a little rant. Why do all hair tool brands have such boring products? Like why can’t I get all my tools in dark green? Like every brand I see only does black or pink or rainbow/multi. I understand it’s not a big deal and as long as the tools work that’s all that matters and framer has some fun patterns for some specific tools but everything feel so lame.
So just a little bit of context, I’m new to the industry and I am in a salon working my way up. today I had a walk-in client for a haircut and it was going well. She liked it. She told me she liked it. She told the owner at checkout that she liked it she tipped me 25%.. a little bit after the haircut, I was covering front desk for a little bit and the husband called and before I could get a word out, he started screaming at me so I tried to diffuse the situation and I told my manager and she gave him a call apparently during that call her husband was yelling at my manager and then she got on the phone and she was bawling . I did have more clients in the day so me and my manager weren’t able to talk about it, but she came in back and told me before she left that she was gonna schedule a meeting and she scheduled it for next week. But I don’t know how to calm the anxiety that I’m dealing with right now. I Guess I’m just looking for advice on how to not beat myself up over this. Most of my clients have been wonderful and they’ve loved the work I’ve done and I do a lot of Bobs so it’s not something that was outside of my wheelhouse. But this client….
Im a recent hire at Seaside Salon in Oak Harbor. Im looking for a model to sit for highlights, half off the service price. Would love if someone could help me build my portfolio. Thank you 🙏
I love my mom but the older she gets the mom she’s going off the deep end. Growing up was very hit or miss with her feelings towards me, if I was good I was good but if I was bad I was horrible and got punished severely. She wasn’t interested in my hobbies and extremely intrusive in my privacy. (In HS one of my best friends died and she assumed my boyfriend broke up with me) But as I grew up she calmed down and chilled out. Recently she has fell down the republican pile line (she’s always been conservative, but its more about conspiracies now. ) So being the ‚good‘ first born girl I am I kept in contact with her but it was always one sided. Well the reason I decided to go no contact is because I found out I was pregnant after having one miscarriage and one missed miscarriage. And with a missed miscarriage, I had to get an abortion performed or else I would be risking, not only my fertility, but my life. And when I was telling her about my pregnancy, she brought up my missed miscarriage, and you could hear by her tone of voice, how disappointed she was that I had to get an abortion performed. The threat to my life didn’t mean anything. As I get further along in my pregnancy, it would be nice to have her around and have her more understanding but I know once my child is born. If she’s around, she will try and influence my kid into things that go against my belief system.
My little guy has a sore on his belly area, he’s been good all day and recently has been starting to cry and laying in a way to keep off of it. He’s been eating and drinking still but I’m worried. He’s fixed, I just wish I could do more for him right now. The closest urgent care is a couple hours away.
I made watermelon pickles not too long ago and they didn’t turn out amazing they’re good but they’re not what I thought they were and I just wanted to know how everybody uses their pickles because I feel like I have to mix them into something.
I’m 10 weeks along and I’m definitely dealing with the first trimester exhaustion. I wouldn’t say the house is bad but I’m itching to give it a deep clean. My husband works 60 hr a week and I don’t have any energy to do anything more than my 3-4 daily routine stuff. It’s so hard not to feel guilty about not being able to deep clean. I’m thinking about hiring a professional for a day but they I’ll feel guilty about money. I just want to scream!
Edit: I put a robot vacuum on my registry.
I live in a pretty good house, but the shower was poorly built and unfortunately, I don’t have the funds nor the general resources to be able to re-tile the entire thing and so I was looking into micro cement and possibly covering the tile for the shower, but it’s so expensive and I’m honestly wondering what is stopping me from just getting some cement at the store plastering it on and then waterproofing the hell out of it. I know it’s a bandage but I can’t do the full thing yet.
So I’m doing small batches of stuff for when I get further along in my pregnancy just for convenience and I have a lot of basics made but I was wondering if we have any other mamas in the chat that can bestow upon me their favorite recipes for when they were pregnant/postpartum. I have just enough energy in the second trimester to do this for myself and I’m running out of ideas 💡 thank you!
I am in my first trimester so I have time to plan and everything, but I really went down the cloth diaper rabbit hole and I love the idea, but I’m having hesitations with solid waste and the only thing i would love to have is a disposable liner. Does anyone have any experience with using cloth diapers, but with a disposable liner? Thank you!
I don’t see it but I always get one specific 90s actress
This is my second pregnancy and unfortunately, my first one ended in an MC and instead of having sympathy for me, my mom made me feel like I messed up even though there’s nothing I could’ve done. so now that I’m pregnant again and I’m 10 weeks in I don’t wanna tell her but I know if I tell any other of my family it’s probably gonna get back to her and thank God we live on the other side of the country but the further along I get the more I wish she just had compassion. It’s hard because I want my mom to be a mom. In recently, she has become super conservative so the fact that my first pregnancy had to end in an abortion she has been super judgmental and so I don’t want her to know about this one. And I don’t know what to do about it cause sometimes I just want my mom, but I know it’s gonna come with nonstop judgment and I don’t need that and I don’t know how to handle it. I’m sorry this was kind of a rant. I just feel so hurt.
Edit: everyone is so lovely and kind. Thank you for your support! I can’t thank yall enough, hearing your experiences and encouragements make me feel so supported ❤️
My husband has been struggling with porn for a while and in a bad cycle of quit and relapse. I want to help him but I feel so useless in the face of his addiction. Idk what to do, he’s hesitating with going to therapy because of his work. Does anyone have any advice for me on how to help him? It’s feels impossible to keep going like this… Thank you 🙏
I have a question for my audiobook lovers. What speed do you listen to y’all’s audiobooks? I’m partial to 1.25-1.75x depending on the book. Thank you!
I live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere and we don’t have much in the way of stationary stores. The best that we have is bookstores with a stationary ‘section’. So I’m wondering, where does everybody buy their stationary? I’m looking for new fountain pens and journals and what not. Thank you!
I remember the music videos so vividly but I can’t name them. It was an American band(I think) consisting of 3 Asian members and 1 black member. They had a few pop songs but I remember one music video, really dark and it focused around a pig headed character. I know they info is really vague but it’s hard to describe. Thank you!
