PSA: go to a consult

Hey all, I see so many posts on here "what I asked for vs what I got." Full sets are so expensive, it's not worth it to go in blind.

Find a tech that offers consults! You can even just ask you artist beforehand if you could some in and discuss what you want.

What you want isn't always achievable with the type of lashes you naturally have, or even sometimes the shape of your eye. A consult allows full transparency between you and your artist. Show them what you're going for (multiple pics are better), and they should be able to communicate to you what they can do to obtain that look, or what they can do to get something similar.

I just went to my first consult a few months ago and found my routine lash artist.

It's not worth it to spend so much and come out disappointed! Lashes are suppose to make you feel beautiful.

Local BP had Asian Redbull

My bf and I's favorite gas station recently stocked these dragonfruit redbulls (I forgot to take a pic). They're uncarbonated, and more like tea. They were SO good, if you find one, get one.

Are these too close to my lash line?

I just went to a new artist, and I think these are the best looking lashes I've ever had. I just fear they are too close to the root of my natural lashes? They aren't itchy or poking me anywhere, I'm just hoping for some reassurance or advice. The only discomfort I have is that it feels like something is in my left eye, but neither my boyfriend or I can see anything that may be causing it. She was a little rough with the tweezers I felt. A lot of pulling and maybe scratching? I fear the obvious answer is not to go back. But any other advice regarding anything in this post is welcomed and appreciated.

I've had 2 bad experiences in a row and I think this might make a third. Throwing in the towel if it is the case.

Eta: there was a piece of eye sand in my lower eyelid that was causing the irritation!

Lash Artists?

Hi guys, I've been to 2 lash techs in the wilmington/newark area. The first one I was very disappointed in, and the second one I'm not sure how much I trust.

I'm pretty experienced with extensions, I had them for 3 years before I decided to take a break when I moved here. I've gone to lengths to educate myself so I know what to be aware of.

Can anyone offer a reccomendation for a lash artist? It's always so defeating spending that much money just for the outcome to be disappointing. I typically go for a volume/wispy look if that helps at all. I appreciate any and all help!!!

Police light sign on 141

I'm sure many of you have seen it but there is a 35mph sign with police lights installed on 141 where the road splits. I'm 99% sure there is no speeding camera attached. I really just think that is such an awful spot for it. People are accelarating uphill to a 50 mph area right there most of the time. Also stomping on your brakes until you're going 10 under the speed limit doesn't undo the speeding leading up to the sign.

EDIT: i did an awful job explaining the location. It's where 141 splits off onto Ferris road, and you can access kirkwood highway from ferris road. I replied with a maps screenshot of where it is!! I apologize.

First time application after 2 years

Hi all, I had lash extensions for 3 years and absolutely loved them. I put a pause on them for 2 years and have recently gotten them again. In the time I didn't have them I did use clusters, which left my lashes pretty thin. I did warn my tech about this, and got a second opinion about wether or not they were workable from my lash tech at home. Both said they could definitely lash on them. (Included the pics of my naked eyes)

​

I got these done 3 days ago on Saturday, and to be honest with you guys, I'm a little disappointed. I'm giving the tech grace because I didn't have a lot of lashes, but that doesn't explain away the fact that I lost an entire clump of lashes in my inner corner this morning, and I feel like so many of my lashes were left naked. I have re-booked with a different tech, but I just need some very honest opinions. This was suppose to be a hybrid set. My left eye is pretty full, but my right eye is noticably lacking. I also included a pic of myself from when I had extensions 2 years ago for comparison. (I'm sorry its not a great picture I'm not a selfie kinda girl)

​

Am I not giving her enough credit for working with the amount of lashes I have? Am I expecting too much?

Things to do? Augustine beach?

Hi all, myself and my boyfriend (25 & 26) have lived here for just under 2 years. We took our time getting financially stable and now that we are, we are really tired of sitting around all the damn time. I am a HUGE hermit and homebody, but I like to get out sometimes purely for my boyfriends sake.

The issue is... what do we do? We walk the white clay trail here and there, have visited longwood botanical, sometimes we go to Philly for the day. I just am tired of spending money as a means of something to do.

I know theres a lot of wonderful beaches in DE but have no idea where to start. I'm also really into urbexing but not super into trespassing charges so I'm not sure if there's anything around here we can safely explore. I'm essentially asking if there are any genuinely nice places to go explore or be in nature in DE..

Rehoboth is 2 hours away from us and to be honest I am not interested in driving that far. I was looking into Augustine beach. Does anyone have any gripes about this place? Or any reason not to go? Any suggestions for urbexing? Any beaches you really love? Whats the deal with Trolley Square?

So many questions... we don't have anyone but each other down here so I'm turning to reddit.

MyFitnessPal

Hey guys, I posted in here a couple weeks ago seeking out advice for where to start addressing my BED. The first thing I came to find was to have an idea of how much I'm currently eating. My coworker suggested an app called MyFitnessPal when I mentioned I'm trying to eat more routinely.

I downloaded said app, and I can say honestly that it has significantly helped me. You do not need to buy premium to get what you need out of this app, which is such a draw factor for me personally. Not sponsored I swear.

I just really want to put this out here for anyone who might benefit from it like I have. You can log the food you eat throughout the day and it will count the calories, fats, proteins, etc. It's basically an interactive TDee calculator. You can adjust what you're using it for too. If you're trying to lose/gain weight, or just have a better eating schedule.

The way it has helped me manage the amount I consume has been great. I hope this is helpful for someone.

I think I have a BED

Hi all. I'm 24f, almost 25. In the recent months I've come to the realization that I may have a binge eating disorder. I have been gaining weight steadily for probably a year and a half. I moved states with my boyfriend 2 years ago, when we got here I was 165lbs. I'm 5'11. Now, I'm 189lbs.

I don't have much of an appetite during the day, but around 7 PM I cannot get enough. Just one thing after another until I am so full that it is uncomfortable. Every time I walk to the kitchen I feel so guilty but I literally never stop myself and I don't know why. I'm so unhappy and insecure lately, I've been trying to do better. Forcing myself to eat during the day, and trying so hard not to let myself in the kitchen past 730PM.

I struggle with body dysmorphia, I'm constantly torn between nitpicking myself in the mirror and not being able to look at all.

Genuinely, I need help. Please. I am trying so hard to change things for myself for the better but I need guidance and tips. I'm so stuck and lost.

Is this a reasonable quote?

Hi all, I live just outside city limits in the state of DE, and am looking to purchase new insurance.

Currently, State Farm has me quoted at $204 a month for a renters + auto bundle. It is full auto coverage (required by the bank I finance through). I have had 2 minor infractions in the last 3 years.

Does $204 seem reasonable? I went through state farm last year for renters and liked how easy & smooth it was, but I don't want to sign myself into an unreasonable payment. Any help is great help, thank you!!

Genuine question, and it could be really dumb. I just moved here about 2 years ago from a tiny itty bitty hick town that I hated, living in a city is new territory for me. The few times I have to go to Wegmans there is always police parked in the front of the store. What is the reason for this? High theft?

So I've been in search of one of these Laura girl blind boxes. I checked the target closest to me with no luck. I want to go look at other targets, but don't know if it's worth my time. The nearest popmart to me is in the mall, and I've never been to a popmart. Say what you will but malls are too overstimulating and overwhelming, hence why I would rather go to a target. Has anyone found these blind boxes at Target? I just don't wanna waste my time :/
