For those who have a routine that works for you, what does your weekly shower routine consist of?

I have it all: hibiclens, gentle anti bacterial soap, tea tree soap, zinc shampoo, glycolic acid, desitin, hypochlorous spray, clindamycin wipes, salicylic acid lotion, etc etc.

I just feel like I’d be overwhelming my skin using all of these consistently. I know everyone is different so it’s trial and error for what works for me, I just don’t know where to start! Would love to understand what someone else’s routine consists of.

I’ve recently started Cosentyx and have completed my loading dose, this is just for context and I’m not sure if this is relevant here.

I have one underarm that really gives me problems and another underarm that has been compeletely fine for a long time. Recently, my “good” underarm has been feeling strange. Under my skin I can feel lumps - they are tender and almost tight feeling? (Like if I stretched my arm way back, it seems like I’m going to rip something underneath my underarm).

This has been going on for weeks now. Nothing is coming to a head on the surface. I even got cortisone shots last week that made it feel much better, but they are tender again.

Do you guys ever get tender bumps under the skin that kind of just stay there? Have you been successful in making them go away? Maybe I should heat compress? Would love any of your tips and tricks.

I have 2 guest pas ses and the instructions say to pick up at the Meadow Marx box office. My friend is not arriving until tomorrow morning but I was planning to grab them right now.

My friend just told me that at Coachella, everyone had to be present and they make you put on the w ristbands right there and then. Is this also the case for OSL?

I am not reaching anyone when I call. Thanks for the help!

And of course I don’t mean this in an unhealthy and toxic way.

I mean, some days I am just extra hungry. I’ve eaten all my calories. If anything, I’ve probably eaten more than my allotted calories if I was laying in bed hungry.

I know that some days on a weight loss journey you’re just going to go to bed hungry… the problem is I CAN’T. I will be up all night thinking about how hungry I am. I physically cannot go to sleep until I eat. I feel like it’s not even a mental thing… I am just physically starved for food that I will toss and turn for hours (trust me I’ve tried to fight this many times).

How do you do it?

It’s technically too big at 9 inches across 😭 was fully going to bring this purse but just had a hunch to measure it, and yep, it’s an inch too big.

It’s so hard finding a purse smaller than this that’s not a fanny pack type bag, ugh.

Divas - what bag are you bringing?

Very fortunate to have a plug who got me guest passe s to the festival this year. I’ve never had V I P, let alone guest passe s to anything in my life (I’m assuming this is like an artist pa ss at Coachella?)

Is there anything I should know? Are there special areas I can access or different entranc es I have to use?

(Sorry for the weird spacing, Reddit was flagging this as me trying to s3ll tic kets)

I would also love any Persian grocery store recommendations! Bonus if they’re around the sunset!!!

I have moderate sleep apnea. Gave CPAP a try and it was an absolute failure. Figured there had to be another solution and landed on MAD after finding a great dentist who took my insurance.

Went in for my first appointment, doctor did the molds/x rays and went in about a month later to get my custom fit MAD.

It’s been about 5 days and I’ve been waking up every morning like……. I’m awake? I don’t want to kill someone? The sound of my alarm clock isn’t making my blood boil? I didn’t wake up 3 minutes ago and immediately start yawning and go back to sleep? I feel……. Normal?

I go back in another month to make some potential adjustments to my device based on how its been fitting/feeling. We will probably move it up a few notches to make it even MORE effective.

I think this is going to change my life. Just want to give some hope to anyone who was not successful on CPAP that there is another option. I know I haven’t been on it long but I am truly feeling a difference.

I am searching far and wide and everything is fugly. ESPECIALLY since we rebranded to the bubble letters and added purple to our color way 🥲

Whenever I’m at games, I see people rocking cunty windbreakers and crewnecks that look pretty sporty and lululemonesque - they must be old designs.

For the life of me I can’t find anything cute! Help!!

When I have a lash cluster pack, I never use anything longer than 14mm. I have small eyes so usually all I need is a 14, 12, 12, and 10. Because of this I have the entire row of 16’s left, a bunch of 14s, then run out of my 12s and 10s, and will have all the 8s left. It feels so wasteful buying a new pack when I need to replenish the 12s and 10s. I’ll never be able to use up lash cluster packs evenly. What do you guys do about this?? Help!

I wanted to get my dad one of those Butcher Box gifts for his 60th birthday. The ones where you can pay a boatload of money to have Wagyu steaks and other meat sent in the mail, but I figure there could be a local business I can coordinate this with instead.

Any ideas? I have moved away from Long Beach a while ago so I am not too familiar with all the cool shops anymore.

I’ll be in town for my dad’s birthday so I can pick up/handle this in person. Thanks all :)

Called an Uber that was set to arrive to the pick up spot in ~8 minutes. After 15 minutes or so, the car appeared to be stuck in the same exact spot. I messaged the driver and asked if she was having trouble getting to me (I was in a mall parking lot). The driver said the roads were closed and there was no way to get to me. I was like oh ok, just cancel please and I’ll find another way… then they go off on me with multiple messages along the lines of: no you cancel, I can’t cancel, why are you making me cancel, you’re going to tell them I don’t want to pick you up and lower my rating?

Meanwhile it has been like ~20 minutes now and the friend I was with called a Lyft to get us instead. We had to wander out of the mall parking lot to get picked up. While we wait for the Lyft, I completely forget I’m still pending with the Uber driver! They still hadn’t cancelled the ride and said “please cancel and just let me work.” I’m so confused why they could not cancel?!

I’m aware that some drivers do this on purpose to try and get compensated without actually doing the work, but I’m not sure if that’s what was going on here because she really did drive toward me for a bit.

I’m just rubbed the wrong way because the driver did not reach out to me first and tell me the roads were closed, I had to message them first and they were pretty immediately aggressive/upset. I was ready to be petty and not cancel on my end, but then the “just let me work” message really made me feel bad.

Eventually my friends Lyft got us and I didn’t see any roads closed at all… so I dunno…

Heading to Austin for a work trip and would love to bring my team something small and SF themed! Would have to buy 7-8 of them so I don’t want anything too pricey, or of course, large.

My first thought was Dandelion chocolate but if there’s anything more quintessential SF/fun that I could bring, I’d love your suggestions.

My parents are going to New Orleans soon and I’d like to surprise my mom with a late Mother’s Day restaurant reservation that I’ll pay for (I won’t be there).

Would love your recommendations of nice-er restaurants for dinner that will take a reservation and my card # over the phone so I can take care of the bill! I’m thinking classic NOLA food but maybe just a tad bit more upscale (my parents aren’t fancy people like that but they also would never treat themselves to anything so I’d like to do that). Thank you!

Oh and the reservation would be for Friday the 15th and they are staying in/near the French quarter :)
