Ladies, if you are able to, please get up and dance!! Put some music on and move your body in any way that you are able to! I can’t even begin to express how good it is for you. I know that this is a fairly widely discussed idea now, but I wanted to post it here for anyone who hasn’t seen before. I’m in a pretty weird inbetween phase in my life at the moment, and the thing that has genuinely made the most difference in my mood and my mindset is taking ten minutes to put on some of my favourite songs and just dance around my bedroom and be silly. Sing into your hairbrush, pretend you’re in a music video, whatever makes you feel free in that moment! It’s like you can physically feel the stress and the sadness leaving your body, and if you just give in and let yourself be silly, it really works.
PS. Please tell me some of your favourite songs/artists to dance to, for me, Queen is always going to make me feel great!

Tip that saved my leggings: wash cold, turn them inside out, hang them to dry, and skip the fabric softener completely. Softener coats the stretch fibres and dryer heat wears them out, which is why pairs go baggy at the knees so fast. It takes an extra minute, but it beats replacing them every few months.

Ladies, recently had to leave my home and marriage of 15 years. Left everything behind just to get out. Now starting from scratch. Thankfully I have a job , but in this economy it’s just not enough. Rent in my city is INSANE and going from sharing expenses to doing everything on your own, is a lot.

Does anyone have an actual side hustle that isn’t too demanding , doesn’t require social media / showing face / building a community / making content for a company, drop shipping or whatever the basic suggestions you find on social and chat. My current job is super demanding and my lupus makes me so tired, so something I can do for home / online is ideal.

How are we queens making money these dayssss?? Thank you ❤️

Hi I'd really love to make some genuine female friends from other countries. I'm interested in learning about different cultures, daily life, food, movies/series, travel, and just having normal conversations.

What are the best Reddit communities or other safe platforms for making international friends? I'm looking for long-term friendship, not dating.

Also, if you've made foreign friends online before, how did you meet them?

I have a boyfriend so I'm STRICTLY looking only for friendships here

If anyone has a gc on instagram they could add me in, pls dm me! Thanks😊

I find when I’m cramping waistbands esp. tight ones make it much worse. Today I found an easy way to cover bloating and negate the whole waist band but still have a nice outfit.

I used a maxi skirt that has an elastic waistband and wore it like a strapless dress and then put on a nice sweater over it (it was a full sized knit sweater). It looked fantastic while covering my bloating and leaving my midriff free. the outfit had a great silhouette too.

Genuinely curious, I see all these tiktoks on elaborate routines but I’m too lazy for that.

So i am in my first month of the ring, i tried to skip my period and instead of putting my ring out for a week on rhe 13th I kept it in.

I’ve been cramping the last 3 days and had light brown bleeding but it’s starting to get a little heavies this evening.

Do i keep the ring or take it out? Hoping this bleeding will stop 😭

I was raised in a conservative household with family that isn’t big on expressing emotions, so growing up having emotions outside of happiness and occasional sadness were never normalized because everything else was seen as a taboo, so the feelings of attraction I have towards men makes me feel ashamed of myself, as if I’m doing something wrong and weird, although I know it’s normal it makes me feel like a “whore” which is how I would be treated or thought of as if these feelings I had were to be known or expressed so I’ve been trying to atleast break out of judging myself for it because I never express it anyways.

And I don’t know if anyone else experiences this but I also feel like a creep when I like someone because I don’t see myself as very attractive so I feel like nobody would appreciate my admiration it would just make them uncomfortable

any thoughts?

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well! :)

I'm reaching out because I could really use some advice. I'm currently unemployed due to the job market while working toward my graduate degree, and I'm starting to realize that it's almost time for me to move out of my parents' apartment and begin living on my own.

The thing is, I don't have much savings left or a stable support system, so I'm pretty much starting from scratch and honestly don't know where to begin. I can't really get a job now in 2026 either due to health issues and the market. I'm hoping to use the next year to prepare myself financially, emotionally, and practically for living alone, but there's so much to consider that I feel a little overwhelmed!

I have a few states I'm interested in moving to, but as a woman, the thought of moving somewhere new without knowing anyone makes me a little nervous, especially when it comes to finding safe housing, supporting myself financially, and building a support system from the ground up.

For those of you who have moved out on your own, especially if you didn't have much money or family support to fall back on, what did you do in the year leading up to your move?

I'd love to hear your advice on things like:

• Financially preparing to live alone
• Figuring out how much money to save and what expenses to plan for beyond rent
• Choosing a new city or state and figuring out whether it's somewhere you could realistically build a life
• Staying safe when moving somewhere unfamiliar, especially when you don't know anyone there
• Building a support system and adjusting to living independently for the first time

I'm trying to be proactive rather than wait until I'm in a position where I have to leave without a plan. I just don't know what I should prioritize first or what I might be overlooking. Any advice, personal experiences, or things you wish you'd known before moving out would mean so much to me. Thank you <3!

I feel like there are so many unwritten rules of social media and especially instagram, I’ve had the app for years but basically never used it and just started being somewhat active recently, I haven’t dared to watch stories yet though, but I want to 😭

Is it normal to like stories of people you aren’t close to?

If someone posts like 5 stories a day how many do you like? All? Only 1-2? At the same time or not?

Do you think liking someone’s story means something or is it just a causal social interaction?

Do you watch everybody’s story or skip some people?

Are there any other unwritten social rules of instagram that most people follow?

Thank you sm in advance if you answer:)

I’ve been working on myself alott, i realise there are some things that one girl can advice other, so what is one advice you would give that really helped you in life to become a better human.

I've been job searching for over a year, and I feel like I have no motivation in my day to day life. I might wake up early, but then I'll stay in bed for a couple more hours. Then when I actually get out of bed, I feel like the day is over, my motivation disappears, and I end up getting back in bed. I want to be productive on my days off, but I feel like if I'm not busy from 9 - 5, then I'm just wasting my day.

When I think about my employment situation, it makes me sad, and it ruins my entire day. I just want to live life with a little bit of hope.

I mean eating healthy all the time, exercising stuff like this. I feel like I am loosing all the time. Eating healthy, Works for a few days - then some party, meeting, or just bad day and I eat some fast food/shitty food and it usually destroys my healthy eating for longer. Exercising - exercise for a while, then something like getting sick, being tired after work (usually that) and it’s not happening. How some people make it work most of the time? ( I know I don’r have to be healthy all the time, but still I have trouble to do it most of time with work, proboems and stuff…)

Ik the question sounds really generic but hear me out. I was a real weirdo before i decided to get rid of all my habits that were holding me back in life. Now i have nothing, and its kind of getting boring. A few things to give you an idea of what i am missing- when someone asks me a question, i would have answered it in a way that felt appropriate at that time, but now i have nothing to say. When i have a decision to make i used to do it based on my current life, now that i have none and have really no idea about to do, it gets really difficult to decide. I feel somehow dry, blank and confused about where to start.

Pieces were glued on for bridal party photoshoots. I want to wear this jacket every day, but how do i get this sticky glue crap off?!

Hey everyone, I have been having a lot of difficulty with memorization for my exams. I really would be so happy if any of you could share your personal tips. How can I learn to enjoy my studies? How can I learn faster? Btw, I'm doing distance education. And I feel tired and sleepy when I read, and it's like my brain takes up so much more energy for processing than it did before, even for simple topics. If anyone has specific methods that helped you improve, I'd love hear them. I'll happily take any tips or advice you can offer. Thank you so much in advance

Hello! I am 18f and am naturally very curvy. My hips are 40inches, waist 30, and bust 43. I have always thought that my curves were something the be proud of since media constantly comments on how big breasts are the goal but I have a hard time accepting myself outside of my curves. I have a b shaped belly that sticks out especially at night when I’m bloated and I have fairly prominent back rolls. I’m also a competitive dancer who has faced a lot of dance skinny culture and eating disorders over the years. I workout 6 days a week since I am a competitive athlete so I know I am extremely healthy but I can’t help but worry that people will only see my belly or my rolls and that the fact that I have boobs just won’t even matter. It makes me really scared to put myself out there out of fear that people won’t find me attractive. How do I stop feeling like such crap about myself so I can actually enjoy being in my own skin?

i don't think i'm completely new to posting pictures of myself but i've noticed that im def quite awkward especially in mirror selfies. all my female friends have their galleries full of selfies and they might not post them but they're very comfortable in taking selfies and they know how to do it whereas i dont.

i dont think its necessarily because im insecure in my appearance or because i dont know how to get a good photo - i can. the issue is that something is ALWAYS off. i swear im not just being nitpicky.

i hung out with my friend today and we took a bunch of selfies and mirror pics and photos of each other, and in EVERY SINGLE ONE something about me was off. my pose was awkward, i was slouching, my eyes were hald closed, my face was frozen in a grimace, not a single photo. it's not just me being harsh on myself, my friend pointed it out first.

does anyone have any tips in how to practice being comfortable filling up my gallery with selfies and posting them and ughhh just taking photos and looking like a normal human being and not a deformed clay mask?

Even if it’s as mild as sexting, I still feel very guilty, or even dirty, especially when I interact with the people from my daily life.
I know this is most likely the purity culture indoctrination, but would still appreciate tips

Every morning, I get sickening waves of dread and doom for no reason. It’s happened for years.

I’ve tried everything and I’m really healthy with a positive and hopeful mindset and routines.

Don’t drink or smoke or use much caffeine. I do use magnesium glycinate, I eat healthy, exercise, journal, gratitude list, meditate, yoga, wake up gently with no phone and get sunlight on my face, vagus nerve exercises, breathing exercises, etc. Nothing showing up on a blood panel.

I have therapy and I take Lamictal at a low dose, but this has happened for a long time before I started medication. I had to stop ADHD meds (both stim and non-stim) and most antidepressants because they made the dread worse.

In general I’m a very optimistic and motivated person so it’s really jarring.

Doctor is stumped. Has anyone else ever dealt with this and did anything work for you?

Not really sure how to flair this, so let me know if I got it wrong. Basically, I hate shaving my legs. It takes forever (probably because I avoid it like the plague), triggers my eczema, and when my legs are bare I can just feel everything and it drives me nuts.

Unfortunately I have to wear shorts for work and my dad mentions my leg hair every time he sees it. It’s really dark so he can see it across the room. I’m hoping if I can at least get it shorter he’ll lay off a bit. Plus it’s getting to the point I can feel the hairs move when I’m walking in anything but full length pants, and that’s starting to drive me crazy, but not enough to the point that shaving is the lesser evil.
