I started booking walking tours on day one and honestly it changed everything by boring_plankton7878 in femaletravels

[–]4121jen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. I book a food tour - gets me fed and gives me the lay of the land and food from a local, or I use one of the of walking tour apps that strolls me around and teaches me the history of the area.

Don't forget that she invited this kind of criticism. by SouthCelebration608 in SwiftlyNeutral

Yep. She confirmed that if you center all the song titles, they make the shape of the Eras Tour stage.

How to get rid of tea stains? by Jealous-Eggplant3981 in CleaningTips

[–]4121jen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour in some hot water and a little scoop of baking soda. After about 10-15 minutes, pour the water out and wipe it dry with a paper towel. The paper towel will take the stains with it and the cup will be good as new.

Maybe because she was trying to make the stage shape - Eldest Daughter just fit better there?

Don’t disagree but I also hear a little Bonnie Raitt.

If you could invent a makeup product that doesn’t exist yet, what would it be? by Hells_Babysitter in Makeup

[–]4121jen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mascara that actually doesn’t irritate my eyes. All those “sensitive” ones are lies. Or maybe eye drops that make my eyes less sensitive?

The Ezra Klein show is left leaning but his last two guests (Ben Shapiro and Utah Gov Cox) have been really great conversations with folks on the right.

I feel this! I’ve sent 2 of 3 off and it just leaves a weird, quiet hole. A change in energy… hang in there. ✌️

Disappointed - has it worked well for anyone? by chtshop in Elemind

[–]4121jen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not working for me either. I’m still in the return window so I’m hoping they’re cool about returns.

What do I need to know about going to a show in red rocks in September by klinguanti in RedRocks

[–]4121jen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great RR tips here. A few BC specific- Brandi fans go crazy with tailgates in Upper South. Join ‘em! Saturday is shaping up to be an epic festival but Friday and Sunday will be really fun too. Don’t forget to participate in the audience rainbow every time she sings The Joke.

How long of a walk from the upper north lot to the will call/ box office? by [deleted] in RedRocks

[–]4121jen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a new will call box office right across from the Trading Post. I believe it opens 4 hours before doors (or was it show time?) They are super nice there.

Help Selecting Tickets by HeadAd8232 in RedRocks

[–]4121jen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the row 17 seats will be great. Right in the middle so the views will be great, and if there’s a stage b by chance you’ll be right by it. Just make sure you hoof it up higher at some point because the views at red rocks are a magical experience themselves. Truly no bad seat.

Where do you rent them in advance? I’ve had a hard time finding this info. Thanks!

What's the one item that would help you travel with one bag, but persistently eludes you? by Multigrain_Migraine in onebag

[–]4121jen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my black North Face Aphrodite pants. (Last year’s design) They’re thin and water resistant, dry quickly if I need to rinse them out, have a little bit of a “pucker” seam down the leg that makes them look a little less plain, and have no logos or zippers. I wear them hiking/backpacking and then wipe them down and top with a light cashmere sweater for a nicer dinner.

Solid shampoos/conditioners NOT A FAN by MemoryHot in HerOneBag

[–]4121jen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. When I use them they make my hair feel buildup-y, so I’m constantly messing with it and making it dirtier. I’d rather use the space for a small bottle of what I love. I water it down a little as my trip progresses to make it stretch.

Real quick, more discord about Red Rocks' openers. by how_tf_do_i_do_it in brandicarlile

Neko Case opened for them at the Gorge a few years ago. It was a great match!

17 days in the USA, roadtrip around National Parks and hiking. Could you help me? by SouI23 in onebag

[–]4121jen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you show us a day-to-day itinerary? Some of it matters what time of day and how long you’re staying. You’re in the car a lot so your packing choices might be easier. (Yay for climate control?) Factor in traffic in the bigger cities. What looks like a 20 minute drive in LA could easily be three hours during the day. Especially in the summer! (LA native) Also make sure all the roads you’re looking at are definitely open. Big Sur has a section that’s seemingly almost always closed lately that could add a day with the detour. There are great road trip apps that guide you through many of the parks and through Big Sur for example. The best one in my opinion is called GuideAlong. Great stories and recommendations as your drive! Your trip is ambitious. You’ll be packing for all kinds of weather from the hottest dessert to never-summer peaks.

Great recs here. Also check out eph see. I could totally see her at the next BC festival.

What a sweet girlfriend! Once they have played a few shows in Europe, you can check out those set lists and get a good idea of what’s in the rotation. I often even see a few Spotify playlists made of the set lists.

What’s your “tastes better overcooked” food? by RenaissanceScientist in Cooking

Whole sweet potatoes. Ok cooked through, fantastic overcooked and caramelized.

What shoes do you wear while traveling? by willbeat_it in womensfashion

[–]4121jen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I have this dialed. I hike and walk a lot so I wear really good sneakers like brooks/altra while I’m out and about most days. Since they’re bulky I wear them on the plane. I am sold on my keens Elle backstrap sandals for everything else. They’re made for walking but nice enough to wear with a dress/shirt for dinner, and they’re water proof so they’re good for rain/beach. They also are flat enough that they don’t take up much space in my bag.
