I wanna get electrolysis done on my upper lip (specifically the outer area of my upper lip as the hair growing there is thicker, darker and there is ingrowns). I was told that I cannot thread or wax my upper lip between sessions. Anyone knows if this is actually an issue or if that’s just to ensure that there is enough hair to be removed for the following session?

Electrolysis or laser specifically targets the melanin in hair and damages the hair follicle so that hair won’t grow back. If you wax/thread/tweeze you are completely removing the hair so there is no melanin to target. You can shave so that the root of the hair is still there but removing the hair completely lowers the efficacy

Confirmed - you do not wax between sessions. I did electrolysis on my legs and bikini line in the winter for this reason.

First trimester insomnia?
I’m only about 5 weeks, but my sleep schedule has gone off the rail the last three nights. I’m sleepy/drowsy, settled in bed around the same time every night, and yet I cannot fall or stay asleep. I have a white noise machine, comfy bed, cool room.. etc. When I do fall asleep, it’s earlier in the morning and I sleep until 1/1:30pm. This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home. So outside of law, my interactions with people are only at the gym given that my area is draining— particularly at the moment. Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.
