LADIES: How are yall surfing in the morning before work?

I cannot figure out how to manage styling my hair post surf without going home and doing a full shower and blow dry (I have long, thick hair, so air drying isn’t really an option) or doing a slick back bun every day (please no). Makeup is easy, but the hair is what’s keeping me from doing early morning surfs more often. Any tips?

Don’t judge me. I know I’m high maintenance.

Serious question: why would you rather wait 3-4 hours in line for merch rather than waiting 3-4 weeks for it by ordering through the QR code?

No judgement either way! It’s just such a long line and I’m genuinely curious why people would rather do that then just have it ship to their house. I prefer to have it in hand when I leave, but I can’t imagine standing in line longer than 45 minutes, much less hours

Does anyone know of any surfing groups for newbies?

I’m a 31F who is super new to surfing (like, I’ve had 2 lessons and been surfing a total of maybe 5 times).

I’d love to join a group (especially a women’s group) of surfers that get together weekly to surf together. Preferably other newbies, but any level of expertise is good (as long as they don’t mind that I suck). I live in the Long Beach area and do most of my surfing at Bolsa Chica, but I’m able to drive further into HB if that’s where the groups meet.

Anyone know of one or of a good place to look for one?

What Kings events are actually worth going to?

As far as events for the general public, like the summer sale or kings festival, what’s actually worth going to? I don’t want to wait in a long line if the payoff isn’t worth it you know?

My stomach actually hurts for Julia in the podcast episode

The constant bullying from the girls (and even the guys) is awful. It’s totally hypocritical and Julia is truly fighting all on her own (Lorenzo gave me the ick for this). Not to mention you can totally see the micro aggressions towards her because she’s Eastern European. She’s no more opinionated than any of the others, but English is a second language for her, which probably means that she doesn’t deliver things the best way. I thought this would have finished when Lola left, but I guess not.

Anyway, had to rant. This alone is making me wish the season would just end already.

Is there a master thread of all of the city-specific merch? Or even just the posters?

I’m so curious about what he’s done for each city, and as a graphic designer I’m dying to see it. If anyone bought something city-specific will you post it or comment it here?

Genuinely can we stop with the posts critiquing Jessi’s appearance? It’s getting so old

Listen, I’m not defending her or the work she’s had done. And obviously when she seems to look different (again), I get that people want to come to social media to confirm that she does, in fact, look different.

But, I swear I see this post about her nearly every day. And besides the fact that it’s annoying to hate on another woman’s appearance, it’s just so tired. It’s not even news worthy anymore. Can we just let it be and stop posting about it?

Do you take the entire dosage of Inositol?

So I decided to hop on the inositol train and give it a go! I got the Wholesome Story brand and one daily serving is 4 capsules. That seems like so much! Do you guys actually take all 4 pills every day?

Kav made a mistake choosing Jas over Charleen

He was happier in the few days he was with Charleen then the entire time he was with Jas. They obviously are not right for each other considering how much they fight. But, for some reason, he totally fumbled the bag with Charleen and chose Jas instead, even though he admitted they probably aren’t right for each other.

Then he apologizes over and over for how he went about casa and how he treated Jas, but then he treats Charleen like absolute shit less than 12 hours after he dumps her. Tbh, I’m over both of them at this point and Charleen deserves better than this. I hope they both get voted off.

I just discovered Michelle Randolph today and honestly, she’d be a great Summer DiLaurentis

She’s 28, so she might be a little older (granted, so is Belmont), but I think with the right styling she could be the perfect fit! Shes currently on the show Landman.

I got the Natasha Denona Pastel palette as a gift (it was on my wishlist) and it’s such a disappointment for it being ND. Anyone have a similar palette that has better pigment?

I have 3 Natasha Denona palettes. 2 of them are amazing, but this one is terrible. The colors barely have any pigment and they fade easily. I absolutely love the colors though, so I’m dying for a version of this that’s actually good. Anyone have any recommendations?

Help! Should we keep going to this church after hearing the pastor say this?

We have had a lot of trouble finding a church in LA. There are so many bad churches here, and I grew up in the South! I’ve never had a message in all of my years of going to church that I’ve walked out on, but it’s happened twice in the less than a year we’ve been here.

We gravitate towards non-denominational churches and ones that have more progressive, accepting ideaology (always rooted in scripture, but less traditional/conservative). We’ve gone to plenty of these types of churches in the South and loved them, so we didn’t think they would be hard to find here.

We finally found a church we like (it’s Mosaic if you know them). We loved the last 2 months of their messages, feel like the demographic fits us perfectly, and the community is so welcoming!

Then, Sunday happened. The message was on Masculinity (for Father’s Day), which sent up red flags immediately. But, I told myself to have an open mind and to remember that a lot church viewpoints are more conservative than my own. And that’s fine). There were multiple moments in the service that I was like well, that’s untrue. Or that isn’t in scripture. Or research shows the opposite. But, when I heard him say this, I got up and left.

I’m so conflicted because I love the people that go there, but I worry there will be more messages like this and I’m not okay with that. I was so excited to finally find a good church (after 3 bad ones), that I started crying when we picked up our daughter.

What would you do in this situation? Stick it out and see if it gets better? Or take this as a sign it’s time to find a different church?

EDIT: I am not here to argue feminism/toxic masculinity with you. This is about whether something that gave me such hesitation about continuing to be a member of a church should be reason to leave, or if I should give it another shot.

Orbiter should have been the second single instead of Porch Light.

Idk what it is, but you can tell there’s something special about “Orbiter” the second the song starts. It’s so beautiful. It deserves better than being a deluxe edition song for sure, but I actually think it would’ve been a beautiful contrast to The Great Divide.

Has anyone ever had a reaction to non-alcoholic beer?

I’ve been cutting out alcohol because my skin has started reacting poorly since starting Dupixent. It would cause my face to be red and patchy, and make the areas of my eczema itch. So, I’ve opted for a zero alcohol option instead.

However, I got the red face today after drinking an 805 Zero Blonde. I’m pretty sure it isn’t a reaction to the ingredients because my allergist tested me for hops and barley and I didn’t react to them. And it can’t be the alcohol because this has about as much as a glass of juice. I’ve had this beer 3 times and this is the only time I’ve had a reaction.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any idea what could be causing it if it isn’t the ingredients or the scant amount of alcohol causing it?
