ISO aromatherapy shower steamers + supplements for CFS

哈喽, I’m not sure if aromatherapy shower steamers will necessarily have a medicinal effect but I feel that they could be calming and keep me in the mindset of working for my health. Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand or for specific types of scents I should buy?

I’m also finally dealing with my chronic fatigue syndrome, I’m getting in with a doctor who can prescribe LDN and I’m trying to make an appointment with a local acupuncture clinic run by a family of Chinese PhD holders. Has anyone tried QiVive (补中益气片) by Guang Ci Tang? It’s promising that it includes jujube fruit because those always calm my stomach instantly. It has great reviews, but if anyone here is familiar with these ingredients individually and can give me more info I’d be very grateful.

Eye makeup (and eyebrow) efforts since my first help request. Improvement?

Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/makeuptips/s/vSUvSza5p9

I grew in my eyebrows like many people suggested, I’ve tried a few complicated-ish eyeshadow looks, and I’ve even managed to put my own falsies on (VERY hard with tremors), but I feel there’s a lot more progress to go. I’m going to start dyeing my brows a medium brown because my complexion thrives on contrast. Are there any more specific eye makeup tips yall think I should hear based on this look?

And does anyone have specific tips on keeping my under eyes from being an out-of-place yellow when I cover up the Ehlers-Danlos blue?

Fun fact: Nasim Pedrad was a nepotism hire!

Her sister, Nina Pedrad, was a producer on the show starting in 2014. Nasim’s first episode aired in 2015.

I think it’s useful on a societal scale to remember that not all nepotism hires are inherently negative, and some of them bring us great, beloved things.

She was a perfect Aly, and I’m grateful she got the chance to enter our lives ❤️

Hi can anyone explain these yellowing patches?

Hi I just painted this oil paint 2 years ago. There weren't any yellow streaks like these. I just returned home and I saw these.
I read that it could either be varnishing (I was stupid and used acrylic gloss varnish from Monte Mart), aged painting (the oil colors I used are from my grandma are at least 10 years old), that I overly used medium (I used gasoline), or that because I store the painting in a dark room no sunlight.
Can anyone tell me what is the cause and if there's any way to reverse these yellowing? Thank you very much!

Bro tried to bait me 😂 At least put some effort into it.

Blocked him immediately after this. Buddy, if I post in a makeup tips place because I’m learning how to do eye makeup, don’t you think DMing makes it kiiinda obvious that you’re not allowed to comment there? Expecting someone to fall for this when they say in the very same post that they just turned 30 is such an insult ahaha

My 30th birthday cake!!

Vanilla cake, apricot mousse filling, apricot whipped cream topping (the food processor kind 😎), honey syrup soak, honey drizzle, diced apricots. Stiff vanilla buttercream to keep the mousse in.

Extremely lucky that my birthday falls in the very narrow window of my favorite fruit’s season. I got multiple “oh god this is good”s.

Update: Working on eye makeup

First two pics are with falsies and last two are without.

Update to https://www.reddit.com/r/makeuptips/s/LnlV6seJyw

Attempted some sort of look for my 30th birthday! Turns out my vision and tremors are too bad for falsies so my sister had to put them on when I got to her house 😅 So I’ll be looking into magnetic lashes soon! I haven’t tried a real smoky eye yet but it’s comin!

Unsure where to start, so.. eyes? What shape are they and what makeup would compliment them?

Let me start by saying I was a pretty abused kid and I’ve been progressively disabled since birth so makeup has always been intimidating and it’s sat on the backburner while I taught myself to be a person, take care of my hair, dress for my body, etc. But I’m turning 30 on the 10th (🥳) and feel like it’s finally time!

All I really know is that my eyes are squinty. I used to have super dark thick lashes that’ve faded and somewhat thinned (partially due to Ehlers-Danlos). I know they’re my BEST feature so I think maybe I’ll start there. I look best in high contrast colors, I wear both silver and gold jewelry, I believe I’m a deep autumn(?), my eyes are hazel, and due to the EDS I have to use a good bit of under eye concealer. My current fave is Covergirl Trublend Undercover. Other than that and Clinique hypoallergenic mascara I rarely use anything other than simple cream eyeshadow base or Colorgram shadow milk from Miniso. Any help is appreciated, idek what areas to highlight etc, and I feel like if I know my shape I can find videos from there!

How in the world can I become conditioned with chronic migraines?

Seriously, I’m kind of scared that I won’t be a good candidate for recovery and they’ll stop trying to treat me. I’ve had chronic migraines since I was an infant and they’re still most days of the week. They’re mostly abdominal migraines so I can’t actually drink 2-3 liters of water any given day (at least yet 🥲 seeing a GI about the gastroparesis in late July) and I feel like I’m suffocating off and on from my sensitive nervous system. I’m especially triggered by the weather and there’s no getting away from that in Alabama.

Please share any similar experiences or knowledge you may have, I’m sure it’s partially this phase of the migraines but I’m feeling extraordinarily discouraged right now. I’m already having to get gloves and socks and such for swimming because I can’t use a rowing machine due to severe neuralgia and I can’t use a recumbent bike due to chronic sciatica.

ETA: I will say though, the abdominal binder they have me wearing definitely helps certain stages of abdominal migraines, so that gives me a bit of hope!

The eggs in my genoise concentrated and cooked, advice for attempt 2?

Could it be that the browned butter mixture wasn’t mixed into the rest of the batter throughly enough? It’s hard to tell when “just combined”is combined enough.

I’m also not great at knowing when the eggs have “tripled in volume” so I feel that they may have been under whipped before adding in the flour.

I hate having to rest.

I should probably be doing it more than I am but right now I’m in the recovery period after a (surprisingly painful) lumbar epidural. I fucking hate sitting around and I’m just angy gumpy about it.

I wish the disabled life was as luxurious as ableists think it is.

End of rant.

Help me find workouts for my specific needs please!

Okay so I saw an autonomic specialist (after waiting literally a full 12 months) and I need to start exercising pronto. I was told to only do laying down workouts, like a recumbent bike, rowing machine, or swimming. I’m aiming for swimming since I have awful awful coat hanger pain and chronic sciatica in my left leg, but I’d like some more laying down exercises for my core and legs that I can do at home! I have EDS so nothing yoga related please. Pilates is a major yes as long as the equipment is affordable. I’ve been waiting for them to check into my messed up neck my pinched vagus nerve before starting PT since I have cervical instability and don’t want them to make it worse. Any help is so appreciated, TIA! I’m excited to get better!

Do the mary janes go with this trench coat?

I’m trying to justify holding onto a Donna Karan trench coat instead of selling it 😅 I can’t wear most heels so I can’t do black stilettos like I’d want. At this point it’s these or Guess combat boots :/

The cold from the IV fluids I’m getting weekly to treat dehydration is triggering abdominal migraines.

I’ve never had quite an awful kick in the crotch. My rheumatologist said it has nothing to do with the Raynaud’s I started getting in January, but he also went on an unprompted rant about how fibromyalgia is a sleep disturbance and a disorder rather than a symptom set. So. Really minimal information there.

I’m dehydrated from abdominal migraines and I have to stop getting the IV fluids and vitamins that treat that.
