First Set Of Nails


Guest Alissa

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I'm still kind of green here so if I flub something, bear with me. And I'll ty and watch for typos

but it's gonna be hard.

I just put on my first set of nails and I'm having to re-learn how to use a keyboard. I must say the

challange is fun! I bought medium length nails you put on yourself (no way could I do a salon unless

I learned how to pass when dressed).

It feels awesome having these nails, I'm not looking forward to having to take them off, they make

me feel so pretty!

Gonna try and throw on an outfit, and go for the whole look.

Have to do makeup next. I bought eye liner, and I'm getting the other stuff I need. But does anyone

know what to use to take off makeup? Does cold cream work?

Thanks for listening ladies!

Something else I noticed, though off topic, is that I have a much easier time dieting

since I started dressing! I feel more focused! Gonna do wonders for my figure when I get it into

a size 8!

Hi Alissa

I know how you feel, I wish I could have kept mine on after halloween. I just loved mine but had a bit of a problem with buttons and ear rings. :lol:

As for the make up, I think cold cream will work but I know that there is a makeup remover that you can get that will work for sure. Also if the makeup isn't water proof, soap ans water should do just fine.

Good luck on reaching your size 8 goal.

Alissa, Honey....

I use pre-moisened towelettes that you can buy ...they're actually baby wipes and comne in a plastic box in the baby section...pretty cheep, too..

They do a good job on makeup removel...and they really don't sting the eyes when you take off mascarra and eye liner...

As for the nails...that's a whole new ballgame...

Grew mine out for real and many simple things take a complete re-thinking...

Buttoning tops (buttons are already on the side that you never had before....lol) typing, changing spark plugs in the Buick...picking up coins off of the ground...

It all becomes a different challenge!

But, Oh my....are they ever pretty!!

Huggs!

Hi Alissa :)

Congrats on your discovery with nails!! Have you tried nail polish on your nails? Nail polish is just wonderful!!!

99% of your makeup will come of with soap and warm water. Some eyeliners need something with oil in it to get it the eyeliner off. I use a dab (very small dab) of vaseline to get the rest of the eyeliner off.

You will find that the more you realize the woman within you, getting thin gets to be easy and natural. Becoming hairless, soft, and smelling good becomes very natural too :)

Wow! Size 8. Heck I am happy with my size 12 :)

Congrats in advance when you reach size 8!!!!!

Love

Brenda

Hi Alissa,

I normally use makeup remover wipes and cold cream for the more stubborn makeup.

They don't work too well on some water resistant makeup such as liquid eye liner so you will need to buy makeup removal designed for these types.

It is always a good idea to test a small part of your face with your makeup and makeup removal first as some people can have skin reactions to certain chemicals in the products.

Brenda,

Now that I've had time to actually learn about sizes, I think it's physcially impossible for me to reach that goal of a size 8, but dieting IS much easier. I control myself 1000 time better. I had a bit of a spare tire, so when I have on a tight fitting dress, I want to be sick! I'm eating like a bird (and taking my vitamins), I even cut out beer, too fattening!

You are really helpful and I thank you and everyone else who commented on my posts.

I treated myself today to a manicure and pedi as well, on my way home I stopped and picked up mascara. I can't beleive the difference it made in my appearance. I can almost see the woman peeking through at me from the mirror. If I had full makeup on I'm sure I could pass! I can't wait! Should I post a pic when I get made up?

Thanks ladies!

Huggies, Alissa

Hi Alissa

I am so glad that you are happy, it puts a smile on my face to hear such an uplifting post. :D

I was just wandering if you have looked into womens shapers.

Here is a couple that I think will help.

Also I would love to see a photo. ;)

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Oh I'm wearing a blessed girl t shirt and blue capris. Nothing special today. It was just doing nothing day and feel guilty about it.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up. 
    • Ashley0616
      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      I understand. I have the opposite problem. I'm really tall, my feet are size 13, I don't have any curves mostly but I do have breasts so at least I got that but I get stared at. I have tried dating to men I'm just a trial period and none of the women want to date me as a trans woman so I'm just stuck being single. I do have one friend and that's it. I'm right there with you about not being able to work. I haven't been able to come up with the money for any surgeries. I have a wealthy dream and disability IRL. If you want I can chat with you. 
    • KayC
      Will do @Michelle_S  sending you a text soon.  My apologies for not being in touch sooner
    • Ashley0616
      try to send me a message about it if you want.

      Not sure I could handle 4" heels.  I do have some 2" ankle boots though.
