… except for the newest one they just dropped last week 🫠 half of me says “you clearly don’t need it” and the other half says “but you gotta complete the collection.” What do I dooooooooo
But really I love this set so much and I always get compliments no matter what color of it I wear! Only issue is that it’s “hand wash” aka delicate and it gets soooo heavy to line dry 🤗
To preface, I am in no way discrediting a literal DOCTOR who knows the science and treatments! However, I do understand that we are all human and can have some differing opinions based on experience or what have you, so I wanted to collect some thoughts.
Confirmed with a derm last week that my crazy hair loss is TE. He said standard treatment is Minoxidil and ketoconozole 2% shampoo. He told me to they the liquid from Costco. He saw my grimace so I said “I hear that minoxidil is extremely toxic to cats though so I’m probably interested in it in oral form.” He seemed to be almost annoyed and said “yeah that’s all over the internet lately and a hot topic, but as long as your cats not basically licking your scalp, it’s fine. I haven’t heard or seen of people’s cats dying left and right from them using Minoxidil.” He said taking the oral form would cause hair ALLLLL over to grow excessively which I knew, so I would obviously understand why the liquid form is best. But he literally dismissed my concerns about toxicity for cats and basically said to not worry about it so much and to just make sure I wash my hands extremely well and wait for it to dry. I asked if wearing a silk bonnet to sleep would be ideal in that case and he nodded proudly and said that would be perfect.
I want to trust him of course, but at the end of the day, he’s a people doc and not a vet, lol. I mean it respectively, but it’s plausible that he doesn’t know a whole lot of the animal toxicity, right? I just do not want anything to happen to my babies. One sleeps directly on the pillow above my head with me and I can’t risk it. I would be wearing the bonnet of course but I wanted to see if anyone else has done this? Have you used topical minoxidil whilst having cats? What do we think about this? Thanks a bunch, I’m nervous as hell.
Placed my order the 13th, just came to my door today the 15th 💖
The hunt for Peony is over for me! I’m no longer wrapped up in Emerson hype - this was truly a color I really wanted because it’s my favorite, so now I’m turning off my alerts 🤣 but hoping everyone can get the color they want! Hopefully FP will quit this scarcity marketing and let people live their normal lives 😌 thanks to the group for notifying it was in stock!
With all this being said, having AuDHD I understand the hyperfixation and the consuming obsession of getting our hands on something we desperately want. But taking a step back from the idea really helped my mental, and just simply having someone alert in the group let me make the purchase without stalking the site. At the end of the day, it’s a bag, and it will come back in stock over and over! I know that’s nothing we want to hear and it doesn’t satisfy our desire, but I promise you it ain’t worth your sanity. Never cared a whole lot about the Emerson until this group, and the group mentality definitely can change your mindset a lot. No hate or criticism at ALL! Just wanted to say I understand and you’re valid! Sending everyone love and support!🫶🏻
*edit: also wanted to say I’m 32, so the experience and mindset can be wildly different between all our collective ages on here!!
I got this 3D printer as a birthday gift yesterday and i have zero clue on what to do or where to start. I genuinely mean I do not have a single clue on what to research and what I can even do with this, lol. I am big into crafting and have a million types of projects and types I do, so my partner thought this could fit into my collection. But like, what in the world do I even do?! I need like a genuine crash course for absolute beginners that know NOTHING. If someone could give me any advice or point me in the right direction, I’d be so grateful! I’m overwhelmed lol
I have posted here before and everyone was so unbelievably kind and supportive 🤍
High suspicion it is TE and also anemia that I’ve been working to fix for over 6 months with diet changes and oral supplementation.
Everyday I look at myself and don’t even recognize who is in the mirror. I’m so incredibly distraught over this. I see a derm in a few weeks after waiting for a month, but no matter what it is, the hair is still gone. I’m 31 and look at hair toppers and wigs online every day. Does anyone wear a topper or wig? What is your experience like? I need something super low maintenance because if it’s too much effort to get it right, I give up in frustration 😅 I’m already so fragile because of this. Thank you so much 🩷
Complete amateur here, so please be gentle lol. I’m not aiming to be a professional in any capacity, but want a really good, compact camera and it looks like the best is the cyber-shot Rx100 VII. It’s everything I’ve been looking for - great zoom, pop up flash, screen that comes out, great photos. I was about to pull the EXPENSIVE trigger today and did some more research and I’ve been seeing a bunch of rumors that VIII might be making a debut and it would be “stupid” of me to purchase the VII at its current price point (1500 USD).
I’ve been looking to buy a camera for well over a year, so sure, I’ve already been waiting, but I’m finally ready to just buy one and now I feel like I’m being shamed out of it lol. To the more experienced folk in here, would it be smarter to wait? Or just forget the rumors since they’ve been having these rumors for years? Thanks!!!!!
Suede is not for me but I thought this color was stunning! ✨
I’m a 31 year old female. I’m losing my hair in massive amounts daily. Running my fingers through my hair, showering, brushing. Just sitting there I have it fall onto the back of my arms. Every single piece has the root attached so I know it’s not mechanical damage.
This started a few months ago when I first started to notice that I was losing more hair than usual. I have always had fine, thin hair, but NEVER like this. It doesn’t stop. I just had labs checked and my PCOS labs are PERFECT - they never have been before and they’re the best they have ever been. My electrolytes are all good. I have lost ~ 70 lbs in 13 months gradually. What was out of whack on my labs was low iron % saturation, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCH, and MCV, with a high red blood cell distribution width. Weirdly enough though, my iron was normal (on the low end but normal) and ferritin was the same. My PCP told me it’s probably TE.
I’m not trying to sound over dramatic, but this is putting me in a very, very dark place mentally. I was just losing weight and feeling better in my skin overall, and my hair falls out. I’m considering getting a topper but I’m so incredibly embarrassed and depressed. I am going to start wearing scarves and hats when I leave the house because of how bad it is. Please tell me it gets better because I really can’t deal with this.
I’m feeling really low. Like REALLY low. I’m losing my hair and I feel like I have almost nothing left. The past few months I’ve been losing massive amounts in the shower, running my fingers through my hair, etc. All the hairs have the root attached. My PCP just had labs done and this is what it came back as. I’m confused because the iron and ferritin are technically normal.. so why am I losing so much damn hair 😭 ** we have ruled out hormonal reasons and my labs to assess nutrition were good. I have lost 70 lbs in the course of 13 months.
Does this anemia really look that bad??? Would this even be considered iron deficiency anemia? It was slightly worse 6 months ago, only getting better by a few points. I’m desperate for support. I’m a 31 year old female and I am going to have to start wearing scarves and hats every single day to hide how bad this is.
This will be my first Needoh AND YES IM AN ADULT OK?! 🤪 I was playing with the Fuzz Ball in my psychiatrist office THREE MONTHS AGO and said to myself “I need this now.” Looked online when I left and didn’t know there was a massive Needoh craze and have not been able to find one since. I got a back in stock alert for Target and jumped to the site, already had my cart prepped and checked out, fully expecting it to not go through like it always does cuz it sells out so quick.
But this time… it went through!!!!!!😭
Pls don’t tell me they’ll cancel it.
ALL DAY TODAY! Either wait to publish it on your site until you have a few or don’t post at all 🥲
It’s not even that it’s selling out that fast, it’s like they’re fixing their site and inventory because I just saw matcha for 30 seconds lol
I have a micro Emerson that I got for Christmas in the color Saddle and trust me, I get the most compliments on it out of all my keychains on my bag. I’m realizing I haven’t seen them on the site since like January. I would LOOOOVE if they came back in the cute colors since I already have 3 Emersons and don’t need any more, but would still like to have that little flair. 🤭 Anyone know if this is something that comes back around?!
The hair loss has me actually sobbing. I didn’t know it was this bad until I took these photos.
I’ve been on Zep for an entire year now and have lost almost 68lbs (still want to lose more) so I’m very happy with feeling more comfortable and confident in my body with the health changes that have come along with the weight loss.
However… the past maybe 3-4 months I’ve noticed a LOT more hair shedding. I’ve always had fine, thin hair, but it was getting soooo excessive. If I run my fingers through my hair, there’s at least 6 ful length hairs in my hand each time. Each have the bulb on the end so I know it’s coming from my scalp and not breakage. I’m only 31 and I can’t help but sit here and think that I’ve worked so hard to lose the weight and now it feels like I’ve traded one part of myself for another. I can put all my hair in a tiny tiny clip lol.
Is this vain? Maybe… but as most of us know, a lot of our identity is the way we can express ourselves through the way we look. Am I still smart? Funny? Compassionate? Empathetic? A good friend? Absolutely! But sometimes what I am on the inside doesn’t shine through without a few road blocks, like the way I appear. I’m truly devastated, as dramatic as it sounds. I really hope it gets better. I do see my PCP Monday and will be asking for updated bloodwork. I was slightly anemic around 6 months ago which I know can cause hair shedding, but unsure if this is much more than that. Thanks for listening ❤️🩹
I received my Gravel Rock Emerson just now! Shoutout to the lovely commenters in my last post that also let me know it was back in stock - you are all sweethearts 🥰 with and without flash. I like the distressed gray look!
Haven’t been able to get these out of my head for weeeeeeeeks. I have a bit of a shoe problem - some pairs from various brands I haven’t even worn yet, but these would be my 10th pair of Docs. I have boots, Mary Jane’s, and mules from Dr. Martens and I just love them all so much 😭 I do have a promo code that takes off about $35, but the price is still a little steep (which I’m obviously used to). Deinfluence me!! Or influence me - I’m easily swayed.
Sold out before I checked out 😭 I put it in my cart, got distracted, then returned to it when I remembered an hour later and it was already gone 😔 I’m a neutral bag kinda girl so this was so gorgeous to me. I have the baby Emerson in Bitter Bark and am obsessed with it. I wanted the big Emerson so bad and have just been kinda waiting for a color I really like to get it and I missed my chance. Anyone know if they restock things like this? Or do they just kinda say too bad so sad lol
