Toothpaste that doesnt make me hurl
I know at least some of us suffer with issues with morning (and probably night routines) I just want to share a new toothpaste I love. Boka makes toothpaste that is a wee bit pricey (12 dollars a tube) but I find I use so much less of it. It comes in very mild flavors (the mint is faintly minty) and it doesn’t foam in your mouth. Honestly this is the first toothpaste in my whole life that has made me gag or barf during or after using it. If anyone else has sensory issues with toothpaste I highly recommend this one. Allergy warning though, I think they all have coconut in some form but honestly you can’t taste the coconut.
Help finding right moisturizer
Ok long and short of it. I have ADHD and no desire to have a ten step regimen. And even if I did I wouldn’t consistently keep up with it. I also work a job that involves me being outside in heat and cold and in an way that involves working with gross things so I get disgusting on a daily basis. I have combo skin with my t zone being a gross ass oil pit. I currently wash with corsx low pH cleanser and love it. I don’t use toner (used to but havent seen a difference in using it verses not) and am trying to find a daily moisturizer. I have tried Cetaphul in the green bottle. It was okay but I don’t love the feel of it and still felt dry in some places and oil in others I have tried Aveeno for redness (I do have some redness and my mom has rosacea) and it feels nice but an hour or two after using my forehead feels very oily again And I have tried Neutrogena Hydrogel and boy I love the feel but the product seems to not be very hydrating and I still end up with an oily forehead prior to work and getting sweaty. What are some other options? The reviews on everything seem so mixed that I don’t know where to go from here.
Bathroom reno gone wrong
I bought a mostly livable fixer upper. The previous attempt to renovate the bathroom themselves and really made some mistakes I don’t know how to fix. They replaced the vanity (already damaged cosmetically) and tiled one wall. There is dried grout everywhere. On the wall, the molding, the vanity (which is grouted in) on the tiles. Idk how to begin getting the grout off these surfaces. I will probably just replace the molding but what about the wall and the vanity? What about the tile it’s self?
Neverending burnout
Tw: discussion of bad mental health The burnout is real and strong and has been going on for ages. How long? I honestly I don’t know, could be six months could be year. Most likely it was mild burnout some reduction in burnout and then more burnout to greater extreme, reduction but not completely and the cycle has gone on so long I don’t remember when I wasn’t miserable, lonely, exhausted, ate healthy, productive and so I have just walked down a set of stairs into a dark pit of who knows what. Some days are easier, words, explanations, communication and such but most days I feel like a mess and can’t get it sorted out. I started this process of trying to get better 2 years ago. Started seeking professional help and here I am. Am I better? No, maybe, I don’t know. I feel like the first med I ever took may have left me with permanent issues. I feel like I used to go through periods where things were bad but I dug myself out and was able to keep going. Passive suicidal thoughts were only popping up occasionally. Now it seems almost daily. I don’t actually feel suicidal. It’s just intrusive thoughts they don’t even feel like they belong to me. Just like some gremlin that reminds me I’m worthless and should just end it. Then it’s gone. No desire to actually do that and I know it’s just a passing thought but it sucks almost all the joy from everything. In this time I have gotten married and bought a house that I adore. I have loving family and spouse. Pets I adore, goals so why do I feel like this all the time. I do experience happiness but I can’t seem to hold on to it. And I am getting worse at my job and further behind. Not sure really where I was wanting to go originally with this. I do have a mental health team who I am working with, but I feel like I am not making progress. Appointments are spread far apart. I feel like crawling out of my skin and screaming but also like doing none of those things. Idk thanks if you read this far. I’m not sure what I wanted other than to maybe feel like I have told someone how bad it really is. How much I want to be better and how impossible it seems.
Siding repair
My new (first) home needs some significant siding repair. Wenconsider ourselves handy but it’s a lot for us to handle and we want to have the insulation redone as well. Pros and cons of various types of siding? Tips for working with contractors? What is the difference between roofing companies, exterior companies and the general reno or contractors? It looks like in my area they will almost all do the same siding work. Is it just a difference in naming?
Paint brand preferences?
Anyone want to be accountability buddies
I’m so overwhelmed with all the stuff I have to do and also don’t have accountability at work and it’s making it worse. Anyone want to be accountability buddies? Spend a moment every week getting to know each other enough to hold each other accountable and maybe send the occasional uplifting message?
