This is dumb
I bullet journal (basically a self-designed planner) and am designing a page to track my lifts over the month and realized I've recorded it both ways in my notes app and can't decide which way I prefer
I've been using the Ordinary's azelaic acid and its worked well on my post acne hyperpigmentation but have been finding it a bit heavy & am hoping this might be a good alternative at a similar price point.
I need help learning Spanish as a near-complete beginner. Looking for resources and strategies.
My biggest issue is getting started. I have my husband who's conversationally fluent in but his method of teaching it is to speak Spanish at me & wait for a response. I can usually understand some of what he says and figure out the general idea of what was said but then don't have the vocabulary to reply.
I've only recently realized how much of an issue I have sitting and focusing on one thing. I always have to be doing something, or browsing, or playing some sort of game when I have a video playing.
I've tried duolingo and had a good streak going for a while until I got more in the habit of using the premium features to cheat when I forgot it until the very end of the day, then lost the streak and stopped all together. The lessons also didn't help with the real-life conversations I'm trying to have with my family.
Any advice is appreciated!
Has anyone tried both to compare? Im currently using La roche posay & liking it. Not looking for a complete dupe but regular price there's a $10-12 difference and I've liked everything else I've tried from innisfree. La roche posay is on sale at shoppers until the 25th and was debating stocking up or trying something new when I need it to save money.
Reviews are good for innisfree so far & say that it doesn't irritate the eyes or skin which are my main concerns.
I try to take a moment to express empathy (but not too much as to dwell on it, if you get what meaning) but my brain always freezes and it feels more like an awkward pause before moving on with the interview. I work in a clinical setting so it can come up in the intake interview as a result of an injury or health condition, or brought up with symptoms of menopause/ "getting old."
I've also had someone bring up how thin they are and ask about it but for the most part weight gain is what people talk about, typically from middle aged clients.
It can come up neutrally as one of several symptoms but for others there is more to it than that. I'm 28 and wear a S/M and can tell this isn't something the client's just don't relate to me with. I don't want to make it more awkward.
Sorry for the long post.
I'm on my journey to rediscover my personal style and slowly adding them to my wardrobe. I feel like I have a good grasp on the types of silhouettes, colors, fabrics, shoes etc that I like and suit me but get so lost when I go to mix and match those different aspects, especially when it comes to tops.
Where I'm really stuck is color and necklines. I'd say I usually keep my pants & skirts pretty neutral color-wise but have a good variety. However, I always run into the "I have nothing to wear" spiral when looking at a full closet. Well, I took out all my work and gym clothes plus sweaters to store until next fall and realized that I'm left with a collection of scoop neck tshirts and tanktops in black navy and gray. Good to have but scoop is my least favorite neckline and it all feels very basic. I'd love to have more V and square necks, blouses and idk what else. I'm also really pale which I don't hate but would like to compliment more.
I guess what I want is to make more of a statement but am having trouble committing to more than one point of visual interest when thinking of versatility and using a top in multiple outfits.
I dont want to fall into the fast fashion trap (again) of making a big order and donating most of it a year later. Any help/ advice is appreciated if this made any sense at all.
