Sorry girlies, not sure where else to post this as most R4R communities are crazy. Im a 22 yo maleTitle is as described, have a wedding in Santa Barbra coming up. Im keeping it rather vague on the post but happy to provide more details. One night overnight or the option to drive day of. Not exactly a mike and dave need wedding dates but I’m young and would like to experience something kind of different like that. If you want details dm. Not really super picky and im genuinely curious and excited to chat with people who may be interested

Hi Guys!

I am a MoriTint technician based in Los Angeles which means I specialize in Korean scalp micropigmentation which is different from traditional SMP. This is NOT permanent (Lasts 8 months to just over a year with touch up) and only sits on the outer layer of the skin and is incredibly natural and UNDETECTABLE.

I am a licensed body art practitioner who had been working in the beauty sector since I was a child (literally born into the family business). I became a social worker/counselor for many years now and always knew I wanted to return back to the beauty sector but I wanted to actually have my work resonate with me. Hair loss (I've gone through it) is extremely common but yet so vulnerable and people don't like to talk about it. My mission is to remove the shame around hair loss and wanting to have your hair back. I've had some incredible models sit in my chair and share their story with me. I have been refining my craft for a year now and just opened my books in May. I am hoping to find people who are game to share their story on my socials for a complimentary service.

This is a quick description but you can find much more on my instagram. You can find photos of my work on my instagram but I hope to be able to collaborate in a safe environment and bring some confidence back into your lives as well!

MORITINT — looks natural, fades naturally.

A specialized South Korean scalp micropigmentation technique designed to be completely undetectable.

This is for you if:

- You have hair loss from stress, genetic, hormones, pregnancy, alopecia, or aging

-Your hair is naturally thin or fine and you want it to look fuller

-You have sparse patches you want to blend in

-You love the look of hair powder — this is the long term version of that

-You want your forehead to look smaller and enhance your hairline

-You are taking hair growth topicals or supplements such as minoxidil, finastride, and etc. 

Why people love it:

✨Undetectable — it enhances what you already have

✨Fades on its own over time, so it always moves with your hair — never stuck looking the same

✨If your hair grows back, it fades right along with it 🌱

✨Non-invasive and non-permanent — completely low regret

✨Touch up when YOU want to, or let it go. Totally your call

2 months post breakup and really just trying to find new friends. I’m 28F, more on the introvert side but I can definitely be a yapper when I’m comfortable. I feel like making friends when you’re 26+ is just so hard. If you’re around the Pasadena area and want someone to go eat with, go on a walk with or just hang out with, you can message me or comment 💕

(Only looking to meet new girlfriends right now sorry guys)

I have a handful of items that I wanted to try and sell at a thrift shop. Nothing vintage-y, but some decent brands like Madewell, Lululemon, Abercrombie, etc. (everything unworn with tags because I’m AWFUL at returning things). I’ve heard that selling at a thrift shop is a very humbling experience, so I’m gonna try to go on a low expectations.

Has anyone had any good experiences selling at any particular stores in the area? (Ideally the valley) Are these brands that a thrift store would even accept or should I maybe try with something like Poshmark? Any insight or experience is appreciated.

Does anyone know some archery places? Thinking this could be a fun new hobby! 🙂‍↕️

It was my birthday last week, and my friend sent me money. She said to spend it on something I would otherwise never buy. So, I caved and bought one of the Flore Flore Car t-shirts that every fashion writer on Substack is talking about.

Unfortunately the fabric is great, and it does fit very well. (I say “unfortunately” because it’s a stupid price, and I can’t really buy more).

It actually reminds me of the Gap tshirts I used to wear in high school circa 1999. I know Gap is good again, but it’s not like it was. JCrew certainly isn’t either.

Where are the quality basics? It can’t be that we have to spend $115 to get the Gap quality tshirt of 1999. What am I missing? I’m talking about thicker ribbed jersey.

Any local furniture stores? Looking for a sectional and not loving anything online at the usual suspects (west elm, article, castlery). Any local spots with similar pricing?

I’m petite but also very busty and have the hardest time finding dresses. I’m 5’2 with 34H boobs and I need a black tie dress for a wedding. Does anyone know where to go for the best petite fancy dress selection?

Hiii ladies! Looking to get my haircut for under 80 bucks! Does anyone have places near WeHo ? I want to walk into SoHo Salon but am nervous they won’t take a walk in.

any cute, clean, cool places to work from in silver lake los feliz echo park east hollywood area?

been to almost every coffee shop and looking for something new! open to restaurants and bars that don’t mind you cracking open your laptop

where are we finding good linens & cotton textiles for sewing projects?

Whats up girlies! Considering getting my VCH pierced and looking for recommendations for reputable piercers to trust with this. Willing to drive a fair amount so area doesnt matter. Does anyone have any recs?

I saw a post a few weeks ago w suggestions. Is Tinder pretty much it for efficiency?

There is only so many times I can walk around the Century City mall, DT Culver City, Abbott Kinney, 3rd Street Promenade. I am getting so bored of the same places walking my baby!

Where else do you recommend? Looking for something that also has things to do (like window shop, stop for coffee) and obviously be paved and stroller friendly.

Was looking for an old screenshot last night and ended up doomscrolling my own camera roll back to 2022. Hit a stretch in june of that year where I am, no exaggeration, wearing the same olive linen jumpsuit in 47 individual photos. Coffee dates, The beach, A friend's birthday at Bestia, Hiking griffith, A wedding rehearsal in topanga. Apparently the jumpsuit was at the wedding rehearsal.

The funny part is I remember loving that jumpsuit and feeling like I "had a look" that summer. Looking back at the photos now it reads less like a personal style and more like a costume I forgot to take off for four months. Comfortable, photographs well, easy decision in the morning. So I made the decision once and never made it again.

28 now, was 26 then. The jumpsuit doesn't fit anymore and I genuinely don't know what to do with the fact that my entire identity in those photos was an olive linen jumpsuit that I no longer own. Was that style. Was that just laziness with a good piece. I cannot tell.

Anyway. I think LA does this to people, you find the one piece that works for the weather and the lifestyle and the lighting and you wear it into the ground. Does anyone else identify their "47 photos" piece in retrospect?

33F, no kids, originally from SD but moved to the south over 20 years ago. I’m revisiting LA before my move in October 🛫, and looking forward to it.

Currently in Texas, and I’ll be moving to LA at the beginning of April next year. I figured I’d join now to start connecting with people ahead of time because I’ve realized how hard it can be to make genuine friendships when everything is so location-based.

I’m really into music, singing, writing, and anything creative. I love trying new food spots (I’m a big foodie 😋, so I’m open to everything lol), exploring new places, and just enjoying good energy and good conversation. I can be a homebody sometimes, but I also love getting out and experiencing new things.

I’m someone who really values genuine, mutual friendships; people who are supportive, can laugh, communicate, and just be real with each other. I’m just looking to build solid connections and a community when I make my move.

If anyone is open to connecting, chatting, or even has recommendations for places, groups, or things to do in LA, I’d love that 😊

I wanted to update my post. I don’t know exactly where in LA I’ll move too. It could very well be downtown. But that all depends on if my family is moving with me or not. I won’t know until October. I have a few friends that are LA natives or grew up around SoCal. I’m aware that the northern part of LA may not be considered LA to some people, however it’s still in LA county and if I need to make a drive I will. Regardless I’m excited to go back home to Cali.

Long story short, I spent my college years working at some pretty nice stores and was very lucky to get most of my clothes at great discount and free. Now I work from home for a men’s brand and hardly shop anymore.

I’ve never been huge into Zara, H&M, Mango, etc, -
and usually stick to thrifting, secondhand designer, Uniqlo, and Brandy, etc.

I’m going to a wedding this weekend with my boyfriend in Florida and I found a cute vintage dress to wear. Except I just checked the weather and it’s supposed to be mid 90s where I’m going. The dress is dark, mid length, lined, and polyester (I know, don’t shame me).

I’m desperately looking for something relatively cheap that I won’t overheat in as the wedding is going to be outdoors. I don’t care about looking amazing as I haven’t met the bride or groom and I won’t know anyone there except my boyfriend. 🥲 I went to the Wasteland near my apartment in silver lake and found an amazing silk Reformation Anaiis dress, but was a bit expensive for the occasion…

Any suggestions? Bride sent attire suggestions that are FashionNova dresses in bright pink, orange, and tropical florals and as kind of a tomboy…that’s simply not happening. Thinking of going to Crossroads and possibly Zara? I feel clueless! How short is too short for a guest dress? I’m more modest typically, but I’m now thinking about practicality.

Thank you in advance !!!

TLDR ; Haven’t shopped for anything new in years and I need a wedding guest dress for this weekend for an outdoor wedding in Florida

I realize this is a long shot, and I really don’t have the funds to dish out anyways. I have c-ptsd, and more compounded trauma within recent years. I am open to all types of healing (I dabble in Jungian psycho analysis on myself, have friends who get paid to do energy work - they don’t live here, etc) Open to guided journeys, somatic, you name it. I am doing my own inner work in addition, but could really use some help, or a friend to talk to who’s been through the dark knight of the soul, and made it to the other side ❤️‍🩹 I’m 34, don’t have my life together on paper (but have worked a series of jobs that would make you think otherwise). In a weird middle ground of outgrowing immaturity and toxic patterns. Trying to rewire my nervous system after regressing deeply due to recent events. Maybe this is too honest, hoping it’ll attract the right people. I just want real conversations. I’ve done the work, but there’s always more to do, and I’m stuck between a rock and hard place right now.

Edit: I truly appreciate all of the responses, and will get back - thought it might be slow. I completely shut down today, and have been for awhile. I didn’t expect this level of responsiveness, especially from a post written in such a way that I think proves my cognitive decline from overwhelm. Thanks for all, will be following up on some offers and recs ❤️
