7MPO: My first summer in 15 years without under boob pimples!!

It's been hot as hell here in the US, with real feels shooting up to 108F/42C where i'm at. i've been sweating a lot and last summer by this point i'd have a bunch of little white heads blooming on the skin where my breast rested against my stomach. but i just realized i don't have to worry about that now! of all the benefits of my lift, this one slipped my mind since my operation was in fall/winter.

So close!

I am 1 polish away from having used all 61 of my polishes at least ONCE. I did do some polish buying but also some destashing (AKA: i asked my little sister if she wanted the ones i didn't and she said yes) and replaced anything that had a crappy formula. since i started this spreadsheet in June 2025, the most I've repeated a polish was 6 times. And that polish was a plain black creme.

I'm not going to use this as an excuse to buy more, I'm really going to hunker down and get into nail art. dots and lines baby! or maybe just lots of skittle manis!

Finally reached beginner's sewing nirvana

I've been taking sewing seriously for about 2 years now? I took a class and then went out on my own but had a horrible time with each project. But for this ruffle skirt I had a sudden epiphany:

I could take my time.

No seriously, I would sit and sewing for hours on end, getting cranky and sore and yanking stuff around. This time, I took 6 or 7 days to complete this? I ironed everything. I did test stitches on some scrap before I went back to it and I just had a great time. I didn't even curse my sewing machine once! I called her a good girl even! Several times!

I picked this fabric on a whim so the finished product doesnt really appeal to me but I plan to make this skirt again in some plain linen or other summery fabric. I attached a previous attempt at this skirt (mangled with a serger i had no business using lol) from last year.

Why is the most common dress zipper placement on the back vs the side?

The side is where I'd prefer my dress zipper to be but I don't see it as often as I'd like. Before I bungle my way through patterns by moving things around, just curious if there was a technical reason why zippers are always in the back vs the side.

Black+Brown members–can I chat about your nipples?

Disclaimer: I'm a cis woman who recently (7-ish months ago) had a breast lift but this sub is quite a bit more diverse than the plastic surgery or reduction subs.

Essentially, one of my nipples+some of the anchor scar below it are very pink. Sorta looks like one of those speckled pink and brown piglets lol. If you had very pink scarring around your nipples after your surgery, did it ever return to it's original shade or at least darken a bit? If so, how long did it take?
