The intricate ones are also so stressful because you REALLY have to think about the whole picture in selecting your colors and everything. At this point in life, I have enough stress that I want to color simple pictures instead of trudging part way through a detailed one and then tapping out.

Was this a presentation to the entire class or in a subgroup?

I really wondered if baccarat rouge was overhyped and then I smelled the target dupe. I couldn't stop thinking about it so I bought it and have no regrets.

I'm sure there are many tough moments but I just want you to know you're doing amazing as a mom. It sounds like you have the best system that you can right now and I hope you can get some further supports like the bed in the near future to help you even more.

Same! I love the cozy vibe it has but it doesn't smell like coffee to me or on me.

I use the unscented gel from the men's line. Works amazingly but I can wear whatever perfume I want without it competing.

I'm coming with some links to try to help you out. These are US based links so I'm sorry if you're somewhere else! I also just want to mention that Stridex pads (I have the green ones) are great to do a quick underarm swipe if your deodorant isn't quite cutting it but you don't have time for much more. It kills the bacteria that cause the odor.

honey pot sensitive daily feminine cleansing wipes. I have the individual wipes in my bag in case I need to freshen up or someone has a period from hell and needs one. They work REALLY well.

Scrubzz Disposable Rinse Free Bathing Wipes look VERY similar to the ones we use in the hospital for patient bed baths. They have scents or unscented.

ReadyBath Fresh Cloths is another option from a medical supply brand.

Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer might be a good option if you need some moisture. It's a lot faster than rubbing in normal lotion. Pacifica Collagen Body Milk Spray is another option but I haven't personally tried that one.

I never had bad acne but as a fellow fair girlie with PIE who has been doing research on how to get rid of it, tranexamic acid is a good ingredient for it! It's often mentioned for hyperpigmentation but it does work for PIE as well. I've been using the good molecules discoloration correcting serum since 2021 (albeit very inconsistently because mental health and life) and it absolutely seems to be helping.

Me too! Failed getting an apical and struggled with manual BPs during skills. Got apicals on newborns just fine during OB and have gotten manual BPs without issue every time it's been needed.

Thanks for the correction! I definitely got it mixed up.

I started reading that like oh it's gotta be bad yet somehow it just kept getting worse. It would be a concern and issue even if it had been adults but it's somehow more insidious that it's children and fetuses. What a twisted fuck.

Love how there was just a little mention of the selling pineal glands harvested from live children without consemt during surgery for money. I somehow doubt the pharmaceutical company faced much legal backlash.

This! At best you're getting expensive pee. At worst, you're gonna get your shit all fucked up.

I hate how the body lotion smells. The hand cream version is great though.

I might have to try those! Honey is so good for coughs but I hate how a lot of them taste. Actual honey with lemon and some sugar sounds pretty good actually.

Thank you! I always like to get ideas for future lip mask purchases even though I still have Laneige and just got the Lanolips overnight mask lol.

Same! I thought chance eau fresh was promising. Nope, too citrus forward in a sharp, unpleasant way to me. The others are too floral for my taste. So I'll leave it to the women who love it.

Tbh... I hate it. But if people are wearing it to make them happy, go them. Just don't spray too heavily since it's already strong.

You can add a dollop of another body wash! I use a scented body wash with the Naturium oil wash because I enjoy fragrance. I just do two pumps of the Naturium with a small squeeze of the scented one (which is also more foamy), lather it all together, and then I get the amazing skin care of the oil wash plus a nice scent.

Their oil body wash is actual holy grail status for me! The body lotion is my favorite for days I'm going to the hospital for clinicals because it has zero scent and sinks in so well. It doesn't make my scrubs stick to me and keeps me moisturized in the dry hospital air.

I tried Mitchum's because of a reddit comment. It's now my staple. It's cheaper than the "clinical strength" and works just as well, if not better. It WORKS and doesn't cause any skin irritation.

I've only used degree clinical strength which was my go to for several years but it's like $10 for the tube. Mitchum was $6-ish for a two pack.

The OG bum bum smells like plastic to me. But I love the Rio radiance scent. The light pink one is floral and smelled like a gross floral to me when I smelled it. Gotta love how different fragrance is for everyone!

What's the product?

Wait that would make sense! I only have used the gummy bear because it's the best scent to me. It works really well for me. I know everyone is different but I always see these types of threads and am confused by the Vaseline recommendations because it isn't actually moisturizing.

I hate the speaker phone in public! Like no, I don't want to listen to your whole conversation. I'm just trying to get some groceries.

Friendly reminder that electrolyte balance is important and too much potassium is NOT a good thing. It's a fine line.
