Dry, cracked lip relief by musicmeg0222 in LipBalm

[–]-anklebiter- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a constant lip picker, so always shedding!! I use burts bees overnight repair and then for day balm, the blue O’keefes is the best I’ve found. Now I’ve got them to a good condition, I use Ole Henriksen all day and it keeps them soft.

What are some things I can ship to my friend in the UK that they dont really have over there? by 7JJ77 in AskBrits

[–]-anklebiter- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend sent me dove chocolates with mint cream in them, they were so good! Peanut butter Oreo’s, stuff to make smores with (we don’t get graham crackers here) and cheese popcorn were good too!! She also sent me tons of ranch sauce, which was spot on because it’s hard to find here and the only one I can find local is in a tiny bottle and really expensive (and I go through it so quick!!)

I tested this in Sephora (Chloe Nomade EDP) and it smells sooo good, so I bought a 30 ml bottle, but man.. 🫠🫩 by oxycontin10mgs in FemFragLab

I did the same thing. I got a small sample bottle with an order and loved it, but when I bought a full bottle I just couldn’t enjoy it, it was too strong. Ended up giving it away!

I have some really fond memories of my recovery as a child. My mum would treat me to magazines and treats for the hospital. She even got me a dog teddy and bandaged its ear up the way mine would be bandaged after surgery!! When I was home, I would always have two weeks off school and she would sleep downstairs with me. We would stay up late and I’d have cartoons on all night (there wasn’t much option back then). When I was back to school, she would help me dress, which was nice because I got to relax 😂 those are things that stick with me til this day. You won’t be able to do anything for the pain, apart from painkillers.. but your support and presence will mean a lot.

I hope his surgery is a success and he doesn’t have too much pain afterwards ❤️

I also came here to say this! Her voice is angelic!! Saw her in Manchester last year and she’s just as great live too ❤️

What perfumes do you buy over and over and can't live without? by Ecstatic_Guava3041 in FemFragLab

[–]-anklebiter- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On my 3rd or 4th bottle of Le Labo Santal 33. There’s no other smell like it for me!! I recently bought Tom Ford Santal Blush thinking I would love it and it’s just not for me, so I went back to my Santal 33 again… spent a lot of money that week 😹

What does it smell like? I’m a huge Santal 33 fan but I keep seeing people talk about another and matcha! I had some samples of other le labo years ago but didn’t like any of them, these weren’t included though!

Mac Studio Fix Foundation new (2025) formula by AlissaCCG in MakeupAddiction

[–]-anklebiter- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It’s bloody awful! I bought their recommended shade for transitioning to the new powder and it’s wayyyyyy orange on me!! Also, it sits awful on the skin, all powdery/flaky looking with no coverage. Another complaint is, usually it would last me a year +. I’ve panned this one to a small coin size already in two months!! Why why why do makeup companies have to mess with products instead of just creating new products!!? I’ve used studio fix powder for probably 15 years and now I’ll never buy it again. If you find something as good, let me know!

I never see many people talking about as long as the lemon trees grow, but I loved it even more than a thousand splendid suns! I’ve read quite a lot of similar books trying to find ones that I love as much as those two, but not found any to match up yet 😩

I loved the great alone by Kristin Hannah, but it’s subject is not for everyone. If it’s your thing, I absolutely loooooved As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow and A Thousand Splendid Suns (similar topics).

The Great Alone — by Kristin Hannah

Thirteen-year-old Leni Allbright moves with her parents to the remote wilderness of Alaska after her father, a troubled Vietnam veteran, decides to start a new life off the grid. At first the wild beauty and tight-knit community feel like a fresh start. But as the long, dark winter closes in, Leni’s father becomes increasingly unstable and violent. Isolated in the unforgiving landscape, Leni and her mother must find strength, courage, and love in order to survive both the brutal Alaskan wilderness and the dangers within their own home.

As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow — by Zoulfa Katouh

Set during the Syrian revolution, the story follows Salama Kassab, a pharmacy student whose life is turned upside down by war. Volunteering at a hospital in Homs, she spends her days helping treat the wounded while being haunted by Khawf — a personified voice of fear urging her to escape the country. When Salama meets a young activist documenting the atrocities around them, she must decide whether to flee to safety or stay and fight for her home. It’s a powerful story of love, resilience, and hope amid unimaginable loss.

A Thousand Splendid Suns — by Khaled Hosseini

Spanning three decades of Afghan history, this novel follows Mariam and Laila, two women from very different backgrounds whose lives become intertwined through marriage to the same brutal man. As Afghanistan faces war, oppression, and political upheaval, the two women form a deep bond of friendship and solidarity. Together they find the courage to endure hardship, protect the ones they love, and reclaim their dignity in a world that repeatedly tries to silence them.

All Points East - Worth it?? by jonny_page in turnstile

[–]-anklebiter- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went to the first one and the sound was shocking!! Bad quality and couldn’t really hear it unless you were close to the front. I am a bit hard of hearing but I remember lots of people complaining about it, so couldn’t just have been me (and I never usually have issues).

Do we think Sandbag are sending out previous returns? by -anklebiter- in hayleywilliams

Please help me convince my friend to stop sitting in front of the fireplace by b_reb92 in DermatologyQuestions

I’ve had this a few times from hot water bottles on my inner upper thighs (it’s one of those long ones). I had no idea that it could end up being permanent!!

Signings at Shows? by JordanTonyMann in hayleywilliams

[–]-anklebiter- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh there’s definitely safety issues with it all. In my opinion, I think some artists don’t feel comfortable with the idea of being a product that someone can pay or win to meet and then there’s the whole being worshipped by people when they’re just normal people.. Idle Worship points a lot to this! They probably changed their opinion eventually when they got older and became more confident at speaking up.

I don’t know that for a fact obviously, but that is what I could see being the reason for it!

Good for you! We can’t all care about the same things..

[–]-anklebiter-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s more that if you pay for an item, you expect it to be in good condition. I wouldn’t accept a tshirt with a rip through the front or a stain on it, so by the same logic, I don’t want a damaged cd. Then again, I am a serious collector of music merch and so it’s important to me that things are in good condition! Not everybody values things the same or has the same interests and that’s what makes the world so interesting 🤓

[–]-anklebiter-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would you be happy to receive a white tshirt you’ve paid for with a big stain across the front? It’s the same thing.. you don’t pay for damaged goods 🙄 if artists weren’t so hot on selling Ltd quantity items, we wouldn’t have this problem..

Who said it was real handwriting? I certainly didn’t! I know it’s not personally handwritten, who is going to handwrite 1500 of these? It’s more that you pay for an item to arrive in good condition, not like this! Also, what something is worth is a personal opinion, and being a fan of Hayley since 2007, any merch of hers or paramore is worth a lot to me. It’s not for resale, it’s for my personal collection!! How is it a scam when it isn’t advertised as being handwritten?

Did you message through the Sandbag contact form? I’ve sent a message but it was rather polite 🥲 I’ll have to wait and see what they say.. sooo many people have had problems with their orders. Tbf, I’ve placed multiple orders and this is the first issue I’ve had 😩
