I'm bloated 95% of the month. Oversized tops are the only thing I can wear without looking pregnant. Anyone else??
Also, is there anything that helps with severe bloating?
Not sure how else to phrase this lol but that's my goal in taking this
My sons teacher has been with him for multiple years in a row. She'll be leaving this term, and I'm looking for ideas on what to get her. I'm willing to splurge. Yes, there will be a handwritten card from my son, but I want to add something she can keep and remember him with. She always loved him and made it known.
I've seen her wear gold jewellery, but I'm not sure if that's too much? I don't know about perfumes. I could get her a gift card, but I just feel it isn't personal. Any help would be appreciated. X
Adding that I'm a teacher as well since rules state can't post unless I'm a teacher.
I've gained a few kilos and I feel everything looks terrible on me. I have this strange boxy figure (almost rectangular imo). Event is an upscale dinner. I've added a picture of me in a form-fitting dress (purchased years ago when i was thinner). I've purchased 4 dresses in the past week all to have them returned as I think they were very unflattering. Should I steer away from form fitting and go for a-line?
Kinda upset today. I'm a complete beginner. Today, during sparring, I was paired with cauliflower ears (describing it that way so you get the idea). She's up against the wall, and I'm to take her down. Obviously, I'm years behind and extremely weak and inexperienced, so it doesn't take her long to have the upper hand. Next thing she's grabbed me, I'm up in the air and thrown down. Mind you, I haven't even perfected my breakfalls. So I don't land well. I'm in a bit of pain, shoulder, neck, and a headache. Before we begin, I tell her I'm very new, she's already aware, but I just remind her to go easy. I dunno if I'm being a cry baby for nothing...
Edited to add we're both females
I won't be wearing handwraps under. The wrists are not an issue, but the palm area feels slightly snug. I've never worn fingerless gloves, only boxing gloves that aren't snug at all on me. So, I think I'm comparing. Do I size up, or are they meant to have that fitted feel? Also, I got the venum mouth guard. It's slightly bulky in the mouth if anyone is interested and needs a review, but it has good protective coverage as opposed to my chemist ones
A lovely friend returned from a work trip in Korea and brought me back a few things. He has no idea about skin care but knows I like it. I've never used this brand. What are we looking at here? Can it be used on sensitive skin. I'm 38 and have Rosacea. Also, is that tea? And what does the brownie taste like (for those that have tried it) I don't want to open anything unless I'll consume it. TIA
38f I'm only very new to mma. But after every training session, I come home absolutely smashed which is fine and expected, but it's always the following morning I could have a shoulder ache, knee pain, my last session was a swollen ankle and pain there and now a hemorrhoid. It lasts a few days, and I'm right again, but it's now affecting my ability to weight train. I really do love the sport, it's the only thing that completely calms my anxious brain, but at what cost I ask myself. I'm hoping it's just my body adapting to it. Can anyone tell me if this is normal? TIA

My child's last year of bookweek. She picked the most difficult character. Had a cry halfway through as my vision was not coming through. But we did it!
I'm also that teacher who enjoys dressing up. Kinda sad to see that bookweek isn't as celebrated as it was during our primary years
I'm a beginner in mma and only in it for fitness/hobby. Our coach has asked us to get a pair. I have no experience in fight gear and honestly don't know what to look for. (Would prefer Australian stores)
These are the ones we use in class
38F and just got back from my first session. Well, shit, that was overwhelming, lol. My cardio was good, surprised myself there, but the amount of drills they taught was way too quick for a beginner class. Not entirely sure why that was, do they just throw you into the deep end from the get-go? Either way, I’ve signed up and will be drilling at home so I don’t feel so lost. Never in my wildest dreams did I think MMA would be on my bucket list, but let’s go
In my wiz Khalifa era. Wasn't running as joyfully as him, but I'm sure enjoying the high right now. x
New South Wales police said initial estimates put the crowd at 90,000. A spokesperson for rally organisers, the Palestine Action Group, said police had informed them 100,000 people were in attendance, but the group estimated the figure was closer to 300,000.
