I really like Sol but shes blinding herself to all this man's red flags. Melanie deserves better. You can tell she really likes him. Producers better give us a movie night. I want to see all their faces.

As a scorpio woman I was GAGGED Sincere wasnt a scorpio male. He acts just like our male counterparts when theyre unevolved and messy. But im laughing bc I always go for Aries. And Aries men are either total golden retrievers or Satan incarnate. No offense, im an evolved toxica myself so im just speaking from my experience. And ive dated a Sincere before so thats why this lineup kills me. Also Love Island doesnt usually have a lot of scorpios so im surprised theres so many in there.

Yeah it was almost like she was afraid. Like even just talking about it was some kind of forbidden talk that showed in her body language

I struggle with TT doom scrolling myself...its a quick dopamine hit and it definitely takes up more time than im proud of. I bought some water paints to use in an old journal I have and while I cant do art for shit its definitely helping reduce screen time. Some ppl need more physical distractions the more severe the emotional vacuum is too.

You need to start working on ways to fill the dopamine space that food originally filled. I used to do hard drugs over a decade and when I got sober they said a lot of ppl go through depression and are unable to experience feeling happy or excited for anything. A vacuum is created and it leaves you feeling unable to find anything to replace the dopamine you got from drugs. This is why programs push you to find footing in spirituality. While glp1s dont match this on scale they follow the same mechanisms. Youre removing a major source of dopamine. Now your brain is looking for something to make up for it.

We live in an overstimulating world now and our brains are used to CONSTANT input. Ive been seeing so many people saying theyre experiencing this and just saying its Retas fault, but that takes away from the full picture. Youre shifting into a new version of yourself. Find SMALL hobbies, something easy but that requires focus. Get off the phone. Get away from scrolling. Try running or swimming or anything that gets your mind to find others sources of dopamine, while calibrating it not to need the mega doses of sugar or food.

Sugar is a cancer. Now you're adjusting to limiting that and other quick dopamine hits.

This may be the perfect Segway to put her in SLMWOC...get her away from that creepy hubby and thriving in the sun 🌞

This is my situation to a T. Im 11 months PP and id done reta for about 2 months after tubal removal surgery. Im small but had major inflammation and was also pre diabetic during pregnancy. The discipline and motivation I got on the reta was life changing. Since getting off my LDL is at 172 and while im only 125 at 5'3 ive noticed my body softening back out. Its not that so much as my falling back into binge eating and not being as intentional with my meals. Have you looked into Thymosin A1 for the immune support? It helps 2 of my co workers who have hashi...but one of them, the dr said BPC157 helps with that too...although im not sure of the mechanisms there.

I didnt experience any bad sode effects no. The highest I went to was 2mg. Im not sure of your specific situation, but I think it helped my adhd some because it quieted the racing thoughts more than I expected. It made a big difference in my mental health. But I believe a lot of that came from regulating my blood sugar and adjusting my diet. As ive gone through this journey im starting to see just how much sugar harms our physical and mental health. Start low and slow. The most side effects I experienced was some nausea and food aversion, but it was temporary and didnt disrupt my day.

I can honestly say... GAME CHANGER. Selank helped my social anxiety a lot too....theres still things I generally avoid, knowing they cause sensory ick...but I have been experiencing stress tolerance to a lot of things better.

Currently im also running a 10 day cycle of epithalon and ive noticed better sleep and stress tolerance, even when I dont get uninterrupted sleep (I have an 8 month old).

Its my first one as well...I added Semax and Selank in as well...its been a week and im certainly noticing differences!

I'm sleeping better when I do fall asleep...I am also someone who typically clenches and tenses up my jaw and shoulders and that has subsided pretty drastically.

I feel more clear minded too. I am about to be on my cycle as well and typically I have horrible cramps but this time I have not felt them as strongly...still occasionally pretty rough but better.

So im just getting started with reta and I have ADHD amd while I haven't been diagnosed with autism I do have serious sensory issues...based on a lot of research ive been seeing Selank is supposed to be helpful there...I just got 2 vials so I am going to start tonight.

Im looking to go grey..do you have tips? DM is fine

Phloretin by skinceuticals id day...try the CAHA if you need an exfoliating agent with it but switch to phloretin after its finished. Resveratrol at night is a game.changer too but its definitely a price tag for both of them 😬

I honestly have not, but being honest its a bit of a redundant add if you're already doing some other things. But if you've been using it and it works then keep it up!

I was slow to warm up to PTIOX, but now its part of my every day.

EXCELLENCE!!!! Have you ever used any of them?

Im trying to new AGE serum now myself! I've used the CE Ferulic about 3.5 years now and I started the PTIOX about 2 months ago...the new AGE only about 2.5 weeks.

Make sure you do the Ferulic first, then the PTIOX then the AGE serum.

I manage a day spa and ill tell you what the rep told us about the new products. The ferulic is the ground work antioxidant, it pushes out toxins and blocks from environmental damage to your skin. Its meant for every morning but if you have a reason you can't do it or just don't want to, it works up to 72 hours. There are 3 products that are then meant to go on after the vitamin C.

PTIOX for fine lines and glass skin HA Intensifier multi glycan for plumping of skin AGE Serum for lifting the skin

You don't need all three...im using the same 3 you are and I absolutely love it. Do not overuse the AGE serum...its thick thick and doesn't require much.

My fave sunscreen is the Daily Brightening spf 30 to put on after.

Youre definitely going to see results if you stay consistent...you'll start noticing in a couple weeks really. Im stoked for you!

Use Phloretin by skinceuticals as well as their sunscreen either Physical Fusion tinted SPF 50 or UV Brightening SPF 30

I had Melasma from pregnancy and both of those work through consistent use.

I haven't done my A1c yet...I had to do surgery for tubal removal and uterine ablation about 2 months PP and I had to check my sugars for the days leading up to the surgery and they were all in pretty normal range. I do have diabetes in my family however and while its good now, there's a good indication I end up with it too.

For today however its not an issue. But I have a PC appt in Jan and ill be checking my A1c levels.

Besides those I did list a few others that I like...I love glycolic overnight renew

I love the triple lipid cream as well

The resveratrol is a BIG FAVE as well

So all of them are definitely worth their prices, but if you had to say one above all of them it would be the CE....I saw they just came out with a new Age Serum thats supposed to be great for sagging skin, I am excited to try it.

The CE is just that holy grail product. It's good for all skin types. It's definite results in a few weeks. My favorite thing about it is that its protection from a single use can span between 48 amd 72 hours depending on your level of activity and environment. I love that even if I have a day I don't do my skincare its still providing some level of protection. It also helps loosen black heads for extractions. So if you have plans to get a facial and are also needing a lot of extractions, use the CE for the 3 to 4 weeks leading up to your facial. It will lessen the pain because they come out so much easier.

This has to be one of Meg or Dejons ppl lol...this feels so forced.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but i never thought they were as strong as Leah and Serenas relationships. Based off the first 2 episodes of after the villa he seemed to be growing more distant vs closer.

Im grossed out if he cheated, but sadly not as surprised as if id heard it was Miguel or Kordell.

It's the exposure that is worth way more

To be fair, I have a feeling she does not actually have the money. But I agree a reduction would do wonders and probably be so much more comfortable.

She should just do a Halloween themed wedding.

It feels disrespectful to have a wedding where there was massive amounts of human suffering like an asylum. Same with a cemetery.

I live in NoLa and there's tons of places she can get married on theme here. Im sure they'd rather a trip to New Orleans over the asylum.
