I'm 46 & acne free for first time

I have really oily skin, hormonal acne and melasma; and started on testosterone injections late 2025 that did nothing to help my acne.

Doctor said if I experienced acne would prescribe me Spiro and I think that's been biggest difference. Only been taking one 25mg pill of that a day. Also got prescribed Clindamycin Phosphate which I use twice a day and then The Ordinary Niacinamide cheap on Amazon.

Lastly some Retin A & hydroquinone just at night. I've gone from cystic/hormonal acne mainly on my jawline or temples and dark spots throughout my outer face... Wearing full coverage foundation... to not even thinking of needing makeup now.

Had a rough purging early on, but so worth it. Not sure why I felt the need to share, but maybe because I used to think some of these regimens were over the top or ineffective. And it took me half a life to be happy au natural with my face!

Primary Bathroom Redesign Layout Ideas?

Have interest in purchasing a house, but it's going to need a lot of renovating. And the forefront of our list is the master bathroom. The closet space just doesn't cut it for us.

What would be your idea for re-designing the layout of the space to maximize closet space? We would not be opposed to invading the spaces of other rooms either. Thanks!!

Flying Different Tickets than Kids

Whenever we do family vacations, my husband and I will usually fly first class or premium economy and put the kids in main cabin. And before anyone goes crazy, the "kids" are 18-22.

I have platinum status, but I have to book them on separate confirmation since different classes, so they gain nothing from it. The one I wish I could apply to theirs is just getting them main cabin extra seats for free.

Is there any way to link the reservations or would AA help out with that if I called? I assume there's zero chance, but wasn't sure if anyone else has tried similar?

First off, I'm a 40 something female buying my first pair of legit cowboy boots.

Secondly I'm tall with long feet so size 10-11. But I have narrow feet and slim calves so sometimes hard to find boots that don't have big gap on legs since larger size.

I went to Ariat store and didn't find anything that fit great. Then went to Tecovas and tried on 3 pairs and their Sadies fit like a glove. But they don't come in the traditional brown leather I wanted, so my next favorite was in a light almond suede.

So two questions. What are general thoughts on suede boots? Keeping in mind they probably would be worn a couple times a month.

Also, what's the deal with the darker toe/heel? It doesn't bother me much, but even my husband was curious. Thanks for any thoughts!! Picture attached

I'm an American looking at a VRBO in Lisbon. Search on app shows amounts in USD, but booking page shows amount in Euro.

Problem is conversion doesn't match up at all. And their message about estimated total and deposit in USD makes no sense to me as they show Euro symbol.
