Hoping this is not too niche … I have major sensory issues with putting on lotion but my skin gets sooo dry in winter. Any recommendations that melt into the skin quickly to minimize the icky feeling

For hand lotion - l’Occitane citrus verbena gel. Pricey but absorbs immediately and smells amazing

I added a cleansing oil when I shower that has helped - and I use this after I shower: I use it on where it's usually the driest (e.g. elbows, legs) and do a quick rinse. Does not get oily at all, helps the skin and doesn't have the same icky feeling.

This is what I use: Bioderma - Atoderm - Cleansing Oil For Very Dry Sensitive Skin - Face and Body - Soothes Discomfort

I use L'occitane oil in the shower and it has helped immensely. It really does make my skin feel much softer and eliminates the need for any lotion. I am not a lotion person either.

Pure vegetable based Glycerin is really good to use. It helps with dry skin without feeling slimy. I hate the feeling of lotion, but have very dry skin in the winter. An uncle gave me some Glycerin years ago, and I still use it in the winter to help with my dry skin. Walmart has it and it's not very expensive. Good luck with your dry skin, give Glycerin a try.

Do you have a brand recommendation??

Neutrogena hand cream. Unscented. Best thing out there for helping dry skin but there is an after feeling, different than most other lotions I’ve tried. O’keefs works well too but less lotion like, sorta dry, might be what you’re looking for. Could also try a tallow based lotion which should disappear more than traditional lotions.

I use a dry oil. It's like a regular oil but absorbs quickly and doesn't have that yucky oily feeling. I also hate that feeling!

Do you have a brand?

I keep starting huge projects or hobbies and being intensely into it for about 10 days/2 weeks, after which I forget about it and the project just lays around my house for months until I get interested in it again or I toss it out/donate it. It was fine when I was living alone but my partner is seriously frustrated with how messy the house gets and how much I spend on supplies for these things. How can I be less impulsive OR how can I stay motivated past the 10 day mark?? TIA

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help.
