i'm taking my GED in person tomorrow at a testing center but do not have my own calculator!!

does anyone know if they typically lend you a calculator to use for the math/science portion?

i tried to call the testing center but i do NOT think the number is correct.

I forgot to add my $15 off coupon to my order today. I sent an email to see if they can add it now or cancel, but it's after hours and I can't stop thinking about this goof. Expires in September and I probably won't place another order by then.

Any of you ever done this and gotten it sorted out?
FAQ makes me think I might be SOL.

Am I still getting vitamin D if I'm sitting in the shade?

It's hot out here guys.

I just finished Lies & Truth and the whole Reina/Rai name swap thing was confusing as hell!

At times I wasn't sure if they were typo's going on or what, because it was genuinely kind of difficult to keep up with. Tell me it wasn't only me!!!

I'm about to start the Throne duet and hopefully there's some clarity haha

I know nothing is a true dupe, but hoping someone has a close alternative or suggestion that meets my needs.

Backstory: I had the worst breakout of my life in February, needed two rounds of doxycycline to clear it, and got left with dark spots/scarring. Also started 100mg spironolactone, still on it.

A friend gave me sample bottles of Dr. Diamond Plasma and I used them sparingly prior to this, but my aesthetician said it’d help brighten the scarring/speed up the healing process. I ended up loving it, and it genuinely helped!

I bought two full bottles during a Nordstrom sale. I’m on my last bottle now and just can’t keep paying $200 a pop.

Looking for something under $50 that’s:
-Reparative (helps with scarring/texture)
-Brightening
-Reduces fine lines
-Calms redness

Ideally something that actually supports long-term skin health rather than just masking issues. TIA!

The key actives are copper peptides (GHK-Cu) and bioengineered growth-factor peptides**,** if this helps!

Subject: Do Not Wear the Red Lipstick for Dinner Tonight

just got the this part in rise of a queen and he is so funny for this subject title. that's all.

i've used both in the past and gave up each time for similar reasons. i think i over did it and kinda ruined my barrier with both and wasn't down to try again, BUT i think i'm ready to try again because ive gained so much skincare/health/product knowledge since then.

i have an appointment coming up with my derm, but i wanted to check here first and see what some of you think and if you have a preference between the two.

i know tret is kind of the industry standard and my derm has brought up prescribing it before but i wasn't interested at the time.

i'm currently taking 100mg spironolactone/day and 15% azelaic acid. the combo has definitely helped with clearing my acne and maintaining, but i would like to focus more on scarring and texture now.

also bonus if it will help with wrinkles. my 11's get deeper each day and while im doing my best to embrace aging, it drives me nuts to look in the mirror and see it.

do you have a preference between the two and why?
