Yes. My Invisalign treatment was originally at $3,500. First, I asked for an upfront cash discount and received a $150 discount. Second, I didn’t respond for a couple weeks, apologized, told them I was shopping around (wasn’t really), and asked if they could reduce the price by an additional $200.

I definitely negotiated my Invisalign. It was pretty straight forward. The told me a price, I told them I was budgeting for $800 less than offered and we met somewhere in the middle.

I have never gone to the gym or really worked out, and want to make a change in my life to start exercising. I'm not sure how to handle post-workout showering though.

First time growing out hair and it's coarse/wavy/dry so it takes days for oils to distribute (so oily scalp) due to pushing off washing -- when I do wash, I shampoo only the scalp and will conditioner the rest of my hair. I'm afraid of overwashing, but if I don't wash my hair after I sweat, it will frizz and poof up. Any advice?

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒
