I like Blink Triple Care but it wears off after a few hours. What’s your fav?

They threw niacinamide in it to make my eyes itchy and dry as shit 😩

I’m talking the new Cerave Invisible SPF 50 Mineral

Has anyone found a mineral sunscreen without cast, and no niacinamide?

Pls help

I just want to say I enjoy working here a lot more than Luxottica (I’ve worked at LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, and Target Optical)

Idk why I like it, the order software is way more functional than Ciao and I feel like there’s more sense of culture here. The employers seem to care. We always get comped lunches, budgets for stuff, and team outings. And of course free eyewear and exams and other discounts. We donate with every pair, and I don’t feel like I’m up charging people a ridiculous amount for glasses, a real necessity as a medical device. It should never be priced as a luxury.

Maybe I like that there’s a short commute (for me) and we close at 6 lol idk. My coworkers are pretty chill. That makes a big difference too.

Because of rosacea I am trying zinc titanium sunscreens since they are more tolerable.

It feels ok on my face, but feels drying and itchy around my eyes.

Is that from zinc? That’s what my research says.

The spf I’m using also has niacinamide so I can’t tell if it’s that instead.

I intentionally apply spf on my eyelids and under eyes to protect against sun damage so I notice it more.

So I suddenly stopped my cycle completely for 8 months straight and I’m sure I could have gone longer but I had to induce a bleed thru Provera.

My doc talked about doing more bloodwork and an ultra sound to rule out Ovarian Failure.

I’m trying metformin now to see if it’ll regulate my cycles and possibly lose weight.

I was just curious if this has happened to any of you?

Do you take hormone replacement to manage the loss of estrogen? I’m just a little worried cause those things, like birth control, have a lot of risks I’m afraid to take.

I don’t need lessons or therapy. Just want to pet them once, I love horses.

Where can I go that would let me?

I have insurance now and have access to GLP1s. I wanted to try but I saw some gnarly side effects. Like thyroid cancer, kidney failure, gallbladder problems, and a bunch of other crazy shit. Obvi these are not super likely happen, but I don’t want to take the risk.

IMO it’s too risky for me. Knowing my luck that shit would happen.

I’m going to start Metformin and hoping that helps me lose weight. It’s not gonna be as drastic but it’s way safer to me.

Have any of you tried Metformin? How long did it take for you to start losing weight?

Guys I had no idea. That’s so close to us. So happy to find out.
