Recently diagnosed with HS. Most is on my inner thighs, some on my butt. Recently I've had flares on new places which kind of scares me (around the hip bones for some reason). For a long time I thought I had a pilonidal cyst until my doctor told me it was probably HS on the exact same spot a cyst would be.

It's the shittiest ever, it's the only bump that comes back, it's usually after I spend a long time sitting without changing positions, and yesterday I spent 12 hours in the airport over a delayed flight. Woke up with that area hurting. Is there anything I could do to minimise it? It's always my worst bump because of the body area it's in, and especially with this heat it's going to take a good while to burst and to drain and dry out and it really debilitates me to the point of not being able to sit down, at all.

Just something I've noticed in a good chunk of romances. The FMCs outfit is always described at least once and most are stuff don't look right in my head. In my current read (Rewind it Back, Liz Tomforde) the fmc is described as wearing "a satin skirt, green peacoat, combat boots, graphic tee, gold and silver jewellery." In another book from the series, the FMC's fashion thing is overralls. I can't help but remember how Blake lively was styled in It ends with us. Even if the outfits aren't exactly ugly, it always seems like a way to make them different from other women ahahah. Reminds me of how characters were styled in fanfics and the polyvore outfits lol!

My favorite part of reading romances is when they're not yet together. I'm looking for stories where a good chunk of the book is about the tension and the flirting leading up to the relationship. Don't want it to drag because there's like, lazy conflict plots or miscommunications. I want it to take its sweet ass time and give me that gooey feeling in my stomach. Where he has game and there's charged looks and smirks and the mmc is jealous of what's not yet his (no alpha male caveman stuff tho) and yada yada yada I think y'all get it ahahah

Please drop all the recs you have! Not into love triangles or stuff that is too dark. TIA!

Hi! I'm getting off Accutane and currently in the process of going from two a day to once a day. I woke up with one of those hard, red pimples on the side of my forehead, something I had never got while I was taking two pills a day 🥲 I'm afraid the acne will come back but I also wanted to see if as my skin returns to normal I can take care of the one off pimple with the usual skincare. My skin isn't dead dry like when I was in the full treatment and all I've putting on it has been CeraVe moisturising cream and one more fatty for areas that peel (nose/around mouth) and that one hasn't even been needed since I reduced my dose.

Can I slowly come back to using more stuff even if while in on the low dose? I was thinking of introducing CeraVe sensitive skin cleanser (cleansing dried my skin way too much and all I cleaned it with was water), the some by mi super matcha toner at night, and the usual CeraVe moisturizer. Also the Epiduo (similar to Benzac) to put on active pimples. Could this irritate my face? My doctor actually prescribed Epiduo to use during my treatment on my whole face but I thought that was excessive and risky so I didn't use it (nor needed to).

Hi!!! In dire need of help. I despise sneakers but unfortunately they're the only shoes I own that I can wear and walk around a whole day, or take to a trip. I've seen orthopedic shoes, sneaker flats, and searched for eternity shoes that I find pretty, that are truly comfortable, and within my budget (the hardest part). I'm looking at second hand options because I'm a poor little unemployed student and the cheaper the better, which causes headaches in times like these where quality is an undeniably big factor 🥲 so I'm looking either for budget friendly brands or at least known brands that I'll find in second hand sites, that sell flats/Mary Janes/low-mid heeled sandals/etc that are either ortho, Athletic, or just super comfortable and also look good. Thank you so much!

Alô malta! Talvez seja uma pergunta muito específica mas eu queria saber se alguém fez estágios durante a licenciatura no estrangeiro (não no verão, a valer ECTS no semestre como se fosse um Erasmus normal). Encontro muita pouca informação sobre isso, seja no portal da UE, nos sites da ULisboa, e pelo que entendi é algo que tem que ser completamente tratado pelo aluno (encontrar a oferta, apresentá-la à faculdade para ver se é aceite) mas o processo é super vago e queria saber os requerimentos em detalhes para ver se realisticamente conseguiria fazer isto 🥲

This is so stupid and maybe I'm just dreaming but this show gets so silly sometimes so who knows. In S8 E16 she's talking to wade about what she wants in return for information and she says "six figures, maybe seven" while moving her arms up and down. I don't watch a lot of TV that is being aired practically in current times, do other shows reference brain rotting online references? Lol

What always drew me for CM when there were always 25 cop shows at any given moment being aired, is that they seemed to turn it a little darker. I think of episodes like uncanny valley (the dolls), heathridge manor, north mammon, Mosley lane, pig farm, the one with the puppets, the chilli one... I mean I could go on and on. They were not just about kills, they were creepy and heavy and had so much story for one single episode.

What made me realize the difference was how the show handled having another cult. I got excited when I saw this plot because the cult eps were some of my favorite and they were SO tense. And this one was not? At all? It felt so underwhelming. Everything feels more rush or like they rely more on action

I think partially CM Evolution just looks too good. The camera difference has been discussed to death here. And maybe I feel this more because I'm a horror fan so the eps with weird plots were my favorite and it felt like CM filled that gap that I couldn't fill with other police shows and now, even when the killers are still awful it doesn't hit the same

Have a lot of cream cheese buttercream leftover from my birthday cake and thought (maybe stupidly) that if I got the proportions right by adding flour and egg I could make cookie batter? The buttercream has butter, cream cheese, sugar, and coconut shreds. I could just make a simple cake and frost it but cookies would be easier to share throughout different people which is my goal because I have enough sweets on me right now ahahah. Any opinions are greatly appreciated!

Trying to follow a coconut and dulce de leche cake recipe but I'm not American and I always have some difficulties (I've only recently gotten over the amount of butter in buttercream). The batter recipe is as follows:

2 and ½ cups cake flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature

1 and ⅔ cups granulated sugar

5 large egg whites at room temperature

½ cup sour cream

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons of coconut oil

1 cup canned coconut milk

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

I've never done a cake without yolks, and I've also never put sour cream in batter. Won't the yolks make a difference? Additionally, can I replace the sour cream with buttermilk? (Lemon juice and milk) Or plain yogurt?

Would face serums be able to serve some use for body problem areas? I've minimised my facial routine by a lot and I have a TO 10% niacinamide and zincserum and was wondering if it could do something useful for bumps and pimples :)

Às vezes vejo um comentário elaborado na internet escrito por alguém que claramente já anda na terra há uns anos, e tem com cada metáfora ou expressão que eu nunca ouvi na vida e acho fascinante (normalmente começa com "já dizia a outra... E acaba com 🤣🤣😉).

Eu acho que usar ditados no dia a dia é uma arte perdida. Se eu a meio de uma conversa mandasse um "boi velho gosta de erva tenra" os meus amigos iam achar que estava maluca!

Claro que há uns ainda usados, há males que vêm por bem, entre marido e mulher não se mete a colher, quem espera sempre alcança, etc, mas são os banais! Nunca ouvi um quem se mete em atalhos não se livra dos trabalhos ou quando o mar bate na rocha quem se lixa é o mexilhão 😔

Obrigado por ouvirem a minha alucinação
