Sandals Grande St. Lucian… what excursions do you recommend?

We’re going here for our honeymoon the end of October. A lot of the excursions almost look like they’re the same but just a tad different. So really just wondering if there are suggestions for certain excursions that are worth doing??

A laid back holistic/balanced lifestyle podcast for women?

I listen to Simply Soph and I love it but she doesn’t make a whole lot of episodes so I’ve run out. I like her vibe.

I am really just interested in a podcast where they talk about a balanced/holistic lifestyle, tips on navigating burn out/anxiety/depression, fertility, exercise, etc. But something laid back, as if you were talking with a friend.
I love listening to podcasts with doctors but sometimes it feels like a chore to listen to them lol.

Pipeline or Athletica, what’s your pick?

I can only get to one cardio class this week so I have the choice between Pipeline and Athletica. If you had to choose, which one would you go for?

Both sound… scary 😳😂

How do you balance your 8-5 with your life without feeling SO overwhelmed?

Hey gals! I hit 30 and almost felt like I immediately started having a midlife crisis haha.

Anyone here that works an 8-5 Monday through Friday…how do you possibly keep up with your hobbies, a relationship/friendships, working out, eating healthy, etc?

The weekends off are glorious but I feel like I shouldn’t be living for them either.

I feel like life feels so heavy and that I can’t balance everything. I’d love some tips to help. ❤️

How on earth do I fix my skin after what a facial did to it?

I’m getting married in October and it was recommended that I start getting facials to be “wedding ready”. My skin in the first photo was before my first facial. The second one is after I have had 4 facials. I haven’t gone back in two months because very upset that this was the outcome of trying to make my skin look better… looking back my skin wasn’t as bad as I thought and I regret it😭

What routine do you recommend for this? I’ve tried exfoliating with Paula’s choice every couple of days. Not seeing results.

Is this an example of ROCD or is it something else?

I will go through my theme of relationship OCD (or so that’s what I think). I will ruminate, and think about how my relationship isn’t “perfect” and all of the things that are “wrong” and maybe I don’t like my partner as much as I think and are we even a good match?

So then I bring up the convo to my partner. I obviously don’t bring up the whole “do I like you” thing to him because I know that is damaging.

Anyways, after the conversation occurs I feel like the next day, I feel way better about my relationship, and that everything is great! Things feel lighter and lovelier and I don’t find myself thinking about the negatives

Im assuming having that conversation with him is me reassurance seeking isn’t it… 😭

How do I decorate this room??

I’ll start by saying, these are the couches we have and we don’t want to replace them for now. Couches are expensive lol. I am looking for a rug that would go with this honey oak floor and these couches?? It feels impossible! I also have no idea what curtains I’d put behind the brown couch!

I love earth tones. Rust colors and greens are my fav but I understand that may cause this room to look even more chaotic.

How do you “sit with the uncertainty”?

I’ve always been told to sit with the uncertainty, but I never know really how to. Because it feels like when I do, I ruminate more. Maybe I am not doing it correctly?

In my case, my ROCD is centered around my relationship not being perfect, the overwhelming thought that I will cheat and that I find other men attractive. If I sit with that, it feels more so like guilt and shame

Are facials making my skin worse or should I just be patient and continue doing them?

I am so new to skin care. Honestly I got pretty lucky and never had acne problems past my teen years, occasionally a pimple or two during my cycle but nothing bad.

I’m getting married so I decided to start getting facials. My first one was great and I didn’t break out (or purge?) after. I continued getting them every 6 weeks as the esthetician recommended, and I found that my skin got worse and WORSE. (I did every 6 weeks and had 3 total facials and I haven’t gone back since my last one 5 weeks ago) I have these small little bumps I’ve never had before but also just a constant break out. None of it goes away. I’m really looking for some advice since I’m not used to skin care. Is my esthetician just not good for me? Is it my routine? Does this normally occur after facials and you just have to tough it out?

My routine every day: Honest brand cleanser, good molecules hyalauronic acid serum, byoma phyto mucin serum, good molecules moisturizer. I exfoliate once a week with Paula’s choice 2% bha

Visiting in June. What to do or NOT to do?

Headed here for a vacation in June.

What’s there to do that you recommend? Or don’t recommend? If it helps at all, we will be staying by the Atlantic Waffle company and beachside social. That’s just a couple things that pop up on the map.

We’re an easy going group, so we’re interested in anything. But we do like to drink and love live music

Thanks!

I realize it’s fine to find other people attractive.. I think of myself as a VERY loyal person, but I feel like sometimes my intrusive thoughts make me feel like “I’m more attracted to this guy” and create a “what if” scenario which makes me feel like I’m cheating in itself!!! Is this ROCD or anxiety?
I really think it makes me feel like I’m capable of cheating which is not aligned with any of my values….

I feel like I don’t understand ROCD as much as I should. With ROCD, do you typically pick apart things about your relationship or partner (or both)?

Even if you think things are fine your brain finds a way to make it not? Or is this perhaps something else?

I had someone tell me that I “always am looking at the negatives” or that I am “always focused on the bad things”. I really think this is related to my OCD but I could be completely wrong. Has anyone else been told this before?

I have never been into skin care, i would do a simple cleanser and moisturizer and call it a day. Never exfoliated bc didn’t know how. I didn’t really have bad acne, occasionally would breakout during my period. I decided to get a facial bc I need to get wedding ready. I’ve had 3 facials so far, 5-6 weeks apart for each. I was expecting my skin to look better, not worse….

I’ve broke out or “purged” in this same area each time I’ve gotten a facial. My skin is so textured now :( Is this normal I guess for someone who’s never done anything with their skin? Like was this all just hidden under and when they did the exfoliation it popped out? I hate it! Tell me it gets better! Lol

I’ll preface it by saying we (me, a 30f and my fiancé, 30m) are getting married this fall and we also bought a house a month ago. We’ve already lived together for 2 years prior to this. I feel like since we moved into the house, our relationship has kind of lost its spark and feels like we’re just not as happy and just going through the motions. I’m so sad. This is supposed to be the best year ever, with getting married in 5 months??? But it feels like we’re oddly enough not as close as we were before the move.

Is this a normal experience?

TLDR: is it a normal experience to lose some spark in your relationship after buying a house together? Even if you’ve rented prior to that
