I always have at least one housemate who leaves the kitchen windows open eternally, letting the cold air come in. I can wear a jumper but not warm gloves, as I need to get my hands wet and handle food.

The result is I end up skipping meals, undereating, and feeling tired until the warm days come back.

Does this happen to anyone else? I eat as much dietary iron as possible to make sure I don't get anemic, as this can cause cold hands. But I am not sure what else to do as a renter.

I think I need a yellow one. The one I ordered from Amazon is dry because it's discontinued and old 😶

Not just any dark lipstick (like the Revlon Black Cherry) just because it's dark. It has to match the color, please. And no mattes, please 🙏🏻

Here is the product page

And some pictures

I know people (e.g. my brothers) who have grown up in the same cultural salad as me (Lebanese parents, French expat school, in Abu Dhabi) but ended up identifying with just one culture (Lebanese).

It makes me feel like an impostor about my TCK identity, especially when they make fun of me 😭

In my defense, I was younger when we moved to the French school in Abu Dhabi. More impressionable. Also female and neurodivergent, which is more difficult in Eastern cultures.

But it's embarrassing having a different cultural identity from them... I am an atheist and they are religious; I am a feminist and they are the opposite; I am a socialist (not extreme socialism, more like the Nordic countries) and they are manosphere guys... I LOVE French culture and they consider it a gay one (🤷🏻‍♀️)... I miss Abu Dhabi and they are indifferent to it (not nostalgic at all)...

Is this normal?

Pre-seteraline I was fully lesbian, felt fully attracted to FEMME women and my entire life! I had NEVER been attracted to men(NEVER), after starting it I started forming attraction for more masculine women, then men, I identified as bisexual for a short time before realizing I hadn't been attracted to women for a long time/after starting setaraline. It worked, it practically cured my depression and anxiety but it literally turned me straight. Has ANYONE else experienced this?

Especially as Dr Mew does not practice anymore.

Hi! Could someone please help me compare the shades 124 ("S'il vous plaît") and 1990 ("Le Bordeaux") of the L'Oréal Color Riche lipstick range? Ideally swatched side by side. I need a cool-toned and deep red lipstick.

I am looking for proper, classic brownies. Thought about McDonald's as they are American. Are they good though?

Edit: just had one. They are good! Simple and rich. I wouldn't say they are overpriced if you look at what other cafés, bakeries, and restaurants are offering.

I'm a theatrical romantic. I like the old money style, but when I wear it, I look like I am cosplaying – despite having a decent educational background and a proportionate body.

I am thinking that the straight lines and minimalism of the old money style might simply be too "yang" for theatrical romantics (and other types). It might also not work for petites, in the sense that it might require a certain height to look good.

This is, tbh, making me feel self-conscious about the impression I give and the opportunities I might never attract. Maybe my curves, petite height, and delicate bone structure (a body not too different from Tyla's) will always lead me to be categorised a certain way, socially and professionally. E.g. being sexualised and/or undermined, one way or another. This is a pattern that I have noticed.

Thoughts? What has been your experience of looking like a certain archetype? The collective subconscious holds multiple archetypes...

Guys, I have noticed a pattern and I am curious if you've seen it happen too!

I have left my parents since age 22. I am 26 now, and my face has naturally gotten more defined. Stronger jaw, more prominent cheekbones. Wisdom teeth coming in. I look less cute and more sexy. I wear red lipstick sometimes. I get compliments on my face.

I recently showed them pictures of me; they hadn't seen me since I had left them.

They don't like my face. They said I look gaunt and the lipstick is "too bright". I am not gaunt; my weight is healthy (I am a dietitian). The lipstick isn't too bright, it's literally the color of red wine.

They subconsciously feel threatened by the grown-up and confident version of me. Once you see it, you can't unsee it!
