My friend swears that taking collagen cured her KP and really improved her hormonal acne and psoriasis (or maybe it was eczema? Whatever, her skin is incredible!)
I’m jumping in here to say I second this - had this all my life, it goes away when I’m on holiday (weirdly) but otherwise, nothing else worked! Started taking collagen a few years ago as an overall anti ageing benefit, and the KP has completely cleared up, my skin, nails and hair are much better too!

I have to ask you - which Collagen, and where did you buy it, please ? X

Has anyone tried natural deodorant? A couple of the mums at my playgroup are saying it’s incredible, but I sweat A LOT and at one point had to have prescription deodorant. If you have tried it which one?

I’m same as you and it’s shite. I’ve tried Wild and also a crystal one. Wild smells nice but it doesn’t stop sweating and I think it smells so strong to mask that because by evening a BO smell would be starting to develop.

In everyday, non specialist ones I find Mitchum stick the best. I’ve heard great things about Vichy but it’s expensive so I’ve not tried it.

I have tried Mitchum and it worked great, then had to have another go on the prescription stuff. I was thinking about a change but not if I’m going to be wet and smelly 😂

Yes, I swore by it for years. Very sweaty here and it worked a dream. However I become reactive to the ingredients after a while which is quote common so gave had to give it up. I used salt of the earth.

The very strong ones just make me irritated and itchy. If you know one that’s not irritating please do share.
Re Wild, just my personal experience obvs. If you did want to try, I got a trial pack, 3 lipstick size, only pay p&p so £4ish. I can’t see it now, probably limited offer, but keep an eye, they may do it again.

On the itchy, did you use it on shaved pits? I use the intensive Sure one sometimes and, first time I used it, it almost killed me with burning and itching, felt like I was on fire. But I had used it on freshly shaved skin. Waiting a day made all the difference. But it’s not that practical in summer if one is a hairy beast like I am and could shave twice a day 😂

Thank you. I’ve tried both ways. I read the key is really dry skin before applying which does seem to help but I still find them irritating.
Funnily enough the really strong Sure one didn’t do much for me.
I’m pretty ok with Mitchum but it doesn’t control the wetness 100%. I’d love to be able to wear more colour, particularly in the summer but alas, black tops only!

Photo storage on phone. Help. I do backup all my photos on my phone to Google photos. But basically my internal phone gallery is so full to the point I've basically deleted most apps to recoup storage, because I'm terrified if I delete all the photos from my phone gallery it will somehow delete them all from Google photos as well. I've heard horror stories of that happening to others and it's all photos of my baby which I don't want to lose. Should I just save to a hard drive as well or is there another solution. I have deleted crappy photos from my phone gallery and they still show up in Google photos so I know I'm being very irrational lol. But what do others do?

I would suggest you invest in an external hard drive and then you can download all your photos on there for extra peace of mind

Do you have a laptop or computer? I'll usually put photos from my phone before switching phones to my laptop then transfer them to a usb memory stick, I'll also keep them on my laptop as well but I have the stick for backup, 64gb can usually store hundreds of pics an videos
 
Could really do with some advice as I’m majorly overthinking!

Had an initial phone interview for a job on Friday. It was with the head of the company and he said he really liked the sound of my experience and wanted to invite me in to meet the team and have a further interview.

He said he’d ask another member of the team to get in touch and arrange this and it should be within 24 hours. Although this was Friday lunch time and they don’t work weekends.

It’s now Tuesday and I’ve not heard yet. I’m aware they’re probably super busy and it’s someone else in the team I’m supposed to be hearing from, so I don’t wanna seem clingy. But I’m paranoid they might have forgotten or not got my email right or something and I wanna show I’m keen.

So do you think it’s too soon to send a follow up email? 😬

Not too soon and I'd be doing the same.

Send a follow up. It shows you’re keen which is never bad and that you do indeed follow up. It could even be a tactic.
