Last Notes npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…n69g You can also try making your own. Adding things like lemon or lime juice or even cucumber can turn water from plain water into something that's quite pleasant. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…n69g I mean, do as you will, right? Any hydration is better than no hydration. But as someone who really, really struggles to tell when I'm thirsty, sometimes drinking water when I'm exercising can be the only pure water I take in on a given day. It's not good. It is real. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…n69g Arguably you should be getting your heartrate up. When it's warmer, you'll also be losing more water, so it's important to replenish that. More importantly, your body sometimes can't tell how much water it's losing or needing, and by the time you're actively thirsty, it's probably later than it should be. I find that increased breathing also leaves my mouth feeling sticky/dry, and I hate that feeling, so I try to mitigate it. You don't need big amounts, a few sips every few minutes is probably more sustainable anyway. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…n69g Hey. good on you! don't go full out. it's not about how easy/difficult it is, stamina is about consistency and keeping up with what your body is able to handle. Slow down, take a break and have some water when you get tired, then push yourself a little further. 10 minutes is a great starting point, I've found, especially for full body things like cycling or rowing. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle I have 3 bottles of essential oils I don't like to put in my defuser, namely eucalyptus, teetry and mint. I can also take or leave orange blossom. What can I do with these that isn't tipping them into the defuser, but will still make use of them? Any suggestions appreciated. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle If you're the kind of person who is willing to create troll accounts of people, use their info and twist it just enough so you're enflamatory, I feel like you're also the kind of person who needs a little more happiness in your life. Please go outside. Breathe some fresh air. Touch some grass. live a little. The way to make yourself happy is not by hurting other people. And more importantly, and what I actually came to say here, if you're that kind of person, please leave me and mine alone. Please unfollow quietly if you're here. Please walk away. I can't stand this petty, childish, and vaguely insidious bullshit. I have neither the time nor the spoons. Okay, thanks. Bye. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle Hey, all. A few weeks ago, I posted about makeup as a blind human. A friend of mine and I are talking about starting a whatsapp group for blind/VI women to talk about fashion, makeup, skin care, etc. We're hoping to expand to other disabilities, age groups (teens) and gender identities as time goes on, depending on success. Right now, if you'd like to join us, please let me know. It goes without saying, but bares repeating: yes, trans women are women and are always, always welcome. <3 npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…0s32 @nprofile…0l0c I think lobbying for accessibility of an app is one thing, but I think finding accessible ways to have a varifyable face ID photo taken that would comply with biometric specs is also ny on impossible. I have also had to do this recently, and I managed, somehow, but that's just luck honestly. The banks are never going to hear you on this. Just to add: I wish they would, but in my experience, I just think it's statistically... improbable at best. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…0s32 Fair. I guess I haven't really felt like that's hugely impacted my life personally, but I'm in PTA, so I get big city privilege. :) npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…0s32 but isn't that the case for all countries though? The UK doesn't have the same services as the US for the most part, and we have Amazon now so I don't know that that's strictly true anymore. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…0s32 I don't know about that. I wouldn't have half the life I do without my international friends' influence. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle Hey Masto. If you or someone you know is blind and a treasurer/works in finance, please could you reach out to me? I'm trying to ascertain whether something is possible and how it would work without visual support. Thank you. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle Hi folks in the UK: I have a lactose sensitivity and am looking to switch to a lactose free milk, but preferably still cows milk. I know this exists as I've had it in South Africa, but wondered if anyone had recommendations for good brands and/or places to get them that are relatively reliable and don't taste abominable. While I know there are milk alternatives available, and I'll try them if this doesn't work, I figure it's always safer and better to ask than to suffer in silence. Any advice is sincerely appreciated. #Lactose #UnitedKingdom #UK #England #Food #Milk npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @nprofile…c44g Have you looked on sights like Linked in, indeed and Job it? I know jobs there are a dime a dozen, but I've gotten 2 interviews from applying there, and I suspect, having experience in some rather sought after fields, you might be able to make something work. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle There is this delightful older lady on this eras tour livestream, and I just want to give her a hug while I quietly cry. She knows the set list. She's passionate and happy and here, and it is all the happiness and positivity I desperately, truly needed today... #TaylorSwift #TheErasTour npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle I didn't know etsy existed in South Africa, i kind of wanna cry. There's so much Taylor Swift merch and this is a part of loving stuff I have missed out on for so damn long. 😿 Please don't make my replies about how you don't care for Taylor, I'm not asking you to and I don't want to hear it. npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle It's hard to say I've done French for a year now. Before anyone comes at me with the leap year bullshit, this isn't even the official anniversary, it's just my 365th day on Duo Lingo of doing French minus a couple streak freezes in between. I'm proud of this. Arguably, it is the longest thing I've stuck to with any kind of consistency. I'm proud, and that's all that matters to me. https://media.dragonscave.space/media_attachments/files/112/956/228/899/052/361/original/3948349e5fbd647f.png npub1xdqr97t4wnxt3l8w7mssa5r4ehf30ctf5agxvw2pdmaz3ycsl6xs09vthe Estelle @npub1ws0…0jhw I have friends in Stellenbosch who say there summers are lovely so I'm tempted to just go there while I'm still in SA to hide from the worst of it. :D
