does anyone have advice for combining these two aesthetics for a bedroom? i love both of these styles so much and i am very curious how i could possibly implement both!

i have been looking on pinterest, but i love to get advice from people who are into the same things.

I recently saw a video come up on my TikTok FYP of a young woman who was currently visiting China. In her video she went out late at night to explore and decided to go for a massage. One of the massages was an ear massage that featured a feather. After her massage she also passed a different place where a woman was getting her ears cleaned. I am from the U.S., so I have never seen anything like this, other than ear cleaning from doctor’s offices.

My question is, are the people who do the massages and cleanings trained/certified? I am very curious about this because it’s new to me and it seemed both interesting and relaxing. I saw very few places offering it near me in the states. If you have personally tried it, is it considered safe? I would love to hear from anyone that’s tried it! I saw a lot of mixed opinions when I googled if it was safe or not, so this seemed like a better place to get opinions.

did anyone else’s order just not ship yet? i’ve been feeling so impatient seeing everyone else’s new jellies being posted. i ordered literally the minute early access opened, yet my order is still in “preparing shipment.”

the drop is happening tomorrow morning and it honestly feels like early access felt pointless for me this time around. my order will just ship with everyone else’s who buy tomorrow, so that doesn’t really feel like early access to me :/

for context, i’ve had depop since i was like 13 years old if i had to guess. i’m 25 now and still love selling on the app and occasionally buying from sellers as well. i’ve sold a lot of clothing over the years, mainly music merch and some collectibles (i.e. posters and jewelry). whenever i wasn’t interested in certain artists or bands anymore i would sell my collection to buy whatever i was into currently.

i’m currently working for free for an internship for my masters program, you need to complete a certain amount of hours and it’s unpaid for a year. many of my classmates and i had to quit our jobs to really focus. i just don’t have time to work and focus on my program, unless i want to fall behind and fail. when i’m not working for this new place i am writing papers. many people will of course say i could work nights, but i need to sleep. i dont think that i personally could handle it mentally honestly. i wish i was someone who could do that, but i’m just not. i’m very blessed and was able to move back with my mom for a while. however, never having money anymore is getting to me because i was someone who always had a job. i don’t like asking for things that aren’t necessities, so it would be nice to buy things just for fun once in a while with my own money again. i have a lot of hobbies and it sucks not being able to afford the things that make you happy.

overall, i am curious to hear what else i could try to sell on depop that’s popular right now. does anyone have any recommendations of things i could try to sell that has worked for you? i’m very crafty and could definitely make things. i would love to hear what’s working for others!

thank you in advance and please be kind.

i was diagnosed with pre-diabetes early april and i really need to do something to save myself. i’m only 25 years old and diabetes is a huge problem in my family. my doctor wanted to put me on zepbound, but my insurance wouldn’t cover it. i have excellent insurance, but apparently everyone wants to be on a glp1, so that means they are picky about who they choose to cover. i would love to pay out of pocket, but it isn’t easy with having to pay for my masters program and life in general. i am still looking regardless, just in case i can somehow find something in my price range.

i have cut out a lot of my sugar intake. i’m ashamed to say that i used to drink sugary starbucks everyday and have fast food regularly. i do get takeout still about once a week, but i try and cook most of my meals at home. i lost my spark recently, i have really bad depression. naturally i am struggling to lose more weight. i really need to get my a1c down though, i have my next appointment in the middle of july and i want to prove that i got this. i am always looking for advice on different meal ideas.

any and all advice is welcome, just please be kind.

what are some tips for constant handwashing? it’s not even that my hands feel dry, my hands are actually pretty soft surprisingly. usually they only get super dry in the fall/winter from this. it’s more just wasteful and ridiculous that i am washing my hands as much as i am. i use more soap and paper towels than anyone else in my household. don’t even get me started on how much tp i use, that’s a whole other conversation.

i swear every time i touch anything in my house, my job, public places, etc. i wash my hands or use an insane amount of hand sanitizer. i was diagnosed OCD at 15, but i would say this has been happening in the past 5 years, so from 20 to now 25 years old. i can’t complain much, my OCD used to be far worse in high school and early college. it was more intrusive thoughts and terrible anxiety that made me sick. i’ve really worked on all of this and would say i am doing excellent in that regard, but in recent years the contamination stuff has been my biggest downfall.

aside from my partner, who also has OCD, and my therapist, i have no one else to talk to about this and i need more advice and support from those who overcame it.
