I’ve noticed that a lot of people (including myself at times) have certain expectations about therapy that may not always match reality.
From a therapist’s perspective—what are some common misunderstandings clients have about how therapy works or what it can realistically do?
I've been using my regular moisturizer under my eyes for years and it seems fine. But lately I'm seeing so many people swear by dedicated eye creams for dark circles and puffiness. Is there really a difference in formulation or is it mostly about thicker texture and smaller packaging? My regular moisturizer doesn't sting my eyes and I haven't gotten milia. Am I missing out on something or is this just the skincare industry trying to sell me another step? For those who use eye cream, what made you add it and do you actually see results you wouldn't get from your face moisturizer?
kinda having a weird realization today. for years I just bought whatever generic blue or grey bottle was on the shelf, usually some aggressive menthol stuff that strips your scalp raw. I always had flakes and just assumed it was normal winter dry scalp or whatever
Eventually got annoyed with the whole 3-in-1 industry and started looking into japanese haircare cause someone here mentioned it before. picked up some Moist Diane stuff recently just to test it out. Literally just a regular anti dandruff shampoo and conditioner set, nothing crazy.
but the difference in my hair texture is completely throwing me off. it's way softer now and doesn't feel like dry straw. which is cool, but my usual styling clay (layrite cement) is completely weighing it down now. my hair just falls flat after like two hours, especially if I sweat a bit playing hoops.
do u guys switch your styling products when your hair gets healthier/softer? thinking I might need a sea salt spray or a lighter paste insted, but I have pretty straight thick hair so idk if spray is enough hold. any recs for a lighter hold that doesn't look greasy?
Girlies im talking abt diamond size duuh!!
Me and my boyfriend were scrolling thru Ritani last night and ofc i was going crazy over all the big sparkly stones. He started laughing and said "babe size doesnt matter its the thought that counts plus bigger ones are basically just showing off". How silly of him!!!!! (i love him anyways) Im 34 and ive always been a sucker for a PROPER rock that actually shows up you know... i rlly think the ring should be a beautiful symbol of love AND a little bit of WOW factor. I told him most girls lowkey care abt having something noticeable, at least I do.
What do you think abt BIG diamonds and BIG stones and stuff like that?
