Appreciate all the advice on my last post! I plan to try different tips people had at each of my practices this week. I think the biggest issue I can see is I shouldn’t be staying on my knees at all. 🫣

So went out again today and had better waves. I worked on trying to get on the board farther forward for this session. I’m still so slow on the getup, so I plan to try on solid ground with my getup as people had suggested.

This is my 2nd time surfing, so I am pretty lost. I looked up YouTube videos on learning to surf, but that’s the only info I have. Can someone look at my form and tell me what might be wrong?

Am I not paddling soon enough, or too far back or forward on the board? Not getting up soon enough? Any suggestions appreciated. I have a board rented for this week, so trying to get as good as I can in that time.

It’s been a while since I posted, but I made the peg board across and am working on getting back now. Feeling good about my progress so far! If you need to work on grip strength this board has been so helpful. Forces me to stay hanging for long periods of time, and it’s fun! Super easy diy.

This is just for casual everyday wear. I got it for $10, which is one of the main reasons I got it. I thought it was kind of cute, but also feels like it might be a little juvenile for me since I’m in my 30s. Am I overthinking it and just wear it anyways? I had thought about wearing it with tall brown boots in the fall, but not sure if wearing 2 different brown colors looks odd. I got such mixed reactions on the last dresses I posted I didn’t end up going with any of them since I hadn’t been sure of them in the first place. still looking for everyday dresses, but haven’t had a chance to really look at much.

P.s - please ignore the dirty mirror and pile of kids junk in the background 🫣😆

I am trying to find a dress - I know these are all very different styles, but I feel like I don’t really know what looks good on me. I really liked the yellow one, but it felt kind of baggy on the waist (they didn’t have another size there). Do these all suck, or are some cute, but need different sizing maybe?

Update!! Thank you for all the helpful feedback - I think I am going to look for some other dresses that take the aspects I like of these dresses, but hopefully find something a little better.

I had asked for advice on another sub to bring out my eyes and was suggested plum or burgundy colors for my eyes. I love it! I got a burgundy eyeliner and used it on my waterline and a covergirl plum eyeshadow pallet. Still not very good at it, but getting better.

- covergirl plum eyeshadow pallete - both of the darker colors on it.
- tarte tubing black mascara
- burgundy eyeliner waterproof maybelline
- brick lip liner maybelline and smudged all over lips
- wiwoseo Short Lash Clusters 9-11mm Eyelash Clusters(2 on each upper lid)
- porefessional benefit primer
- it cosmetics cc cream fair light and light mixed together
- maybelline setting spray
-rom&nd lip stain eat dotori (on cheeks)

I posted a week ago asking for help on making my eyes standout. Lighting is better in the new picture too, but I followed the advice and added some burgundy and plum eye makeup. I think I like it, but my husband said the purple gives my eyes a bruised appearance. Curious what you all thought?

I tried to use a burgundy liner on my upper waterline. Some plum eyeshadow on the outer edge of eye and a little sparkle plum on the outside corner of eye. I’m wearing black mascara. I know I need to clean my eyebrows up.

I currently do a small amount of black or brown eyeliner and usually mascara - what sort of makeup should I do on my eyes to make them stand out. My eye color is a brownish/hazel (in certain lights because there is a little army green in them).

In January I couldn’t even do 1 pull-up and now I can do 3. I’m also up to 23 pushups. So many strength gains and I finally have some abs peeking through. 💪🤗

Editing to add these results are from the last 6 months, but the overall journey started 2 months postpartum October 2024 after my 3rd child.

The first rep is with 135lbs, but when I move up to 165lbs (2nd rep) it appears that my lower back is rounding some. Is this normal or is this going to cause an injury down the line. I don’t want to injure myself, but I don’t have any pain at this point so wasn’t sure if I am just being overly picky.
