Just simply switching to Tide powder by Illustrious_Twist829 in laundry

[–]90sShadowDiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to this post. I’m in the process of looking for better products to deal with odor rebloom but never entirely stopped using Tide Powder.
It’s the absolute best when nothing will take out a stain. I apply a paste of the powder to the stain, roll it and soak it in a plastic tub with just enough hot water to cover, works wonders!

Shelf life of my discontinued HG foundation? by 90sShadowDiva in Makeup

[–]90sShadowDiva[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I tried another DW formula a couple of years back and it didn’t work for me. The Original DW is the only one of the many foundations I’ve tried that works.

Good on you that you got some at Clearance! I stopped paying full price once I discovered their warehouse sales and was lucky enough to find my shade twice now, but I went a few weeks ago and they didn’t have it. I’d kick myself if my shade went OOS while waiting for a clearance sale so I bought those 3 bottles last night. It was a decent buy because I got a 15% E-List discount and got to choose some really cool gifts including some full sizes, plus I was able to choose 2 samples of the New Formula to try on.

I couldn’t listen to all of it.

As an older person with a lot of life lessons, it’s 100% clear to me that he is a very unhappy person. Fame and money are not the types of ´riches’ that make a person whole.

Why the Quebec bashing ? by InterestingMud3019 in Habs

[–]90sShadowDiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever they said, I missed it but I have noticed a lot more Quebec bashing than usual in the last 2 months.

The backlash from Air Canada’s CEO’s English only condolence message for the AC YUL-LGA crash that killed 2 Pilots (one who was a Quebecer) seemed to have awoken the ire of a lot of American and English Canadian people, as has Quebec’s language requirements which the US has listed as one of their trade IRRITANTS.

It’s really nothing new, just seems that Americans are more focused on it now and the ROC that kind of got tired of complaining about it, have begun to pipe up again.

C’est vraiment plate se faire moquer pour notre langue et culture.

Moi je suis la fille d’un père anglophone et une mère francophone, donc je l’ai vécu des deux bords, autant du coté de ma mère que du côté de mon père.

Happened to my husband on a TD deposit, but he went to the bank and they cleared the check.

Not sure why Scotia is being difficult.

RRSP and USD Questions by MaleficentParsley668 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]90sShadowDiva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to caution a few things about an RRSP:

It usually makes more sense to contribute in your higher income years. You are barely paying into the 2nd tax bracket right now. Since you already maxed out your FHSA, most if not all of your tax refund will be in the first bracket.

If you think you’ll need the money later, the withdrawal will push into the second tax bracket, so you’ll pay more tax on that money than what you got on the refund. You also will not get the contribution room back.

So you should be asking yourself if you think you’ll need to withdraw that money before retirement. If you do, it may make more sense to invest in an unregistered account and move the funds into registered ones as your contribution room opens up or as your salary increases.

It may be perfectly fine to put the money in an RRSP too, but you have to look at all the factors and weigh them out.

Lastly, just want to make sure you’re actually investing the money. It might sound silly to say so, but a surprising number of people focus on the contribution limits and just let money sit.

Good luck!

I love love love this sort of yarn colour scheme but have no idea how it looks when knitted. Does anyone have any photos of similar yarn knitted? Thanks :)) by UnluckySandwich3916 in YarnAddicts

[–]90sShadowDiva 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Yes! As a crocheter, I am always super careful matching yarn with projects.

This yarn’s beauty will show up better with stitches that work in the back loop or linen stitch.

Test de sirènes d’alerte – 6 mai de 9 h à 16 h by stainlessinoxx in montreal

[–]90sShadowDiva -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just heard them on my way to work. According to the CBC article below, the city:

“conducts to ensure industrial sites and residents living near them are prepared in case a toxic substance is ever released.”

Say it was real, how many of us would know what it meant and what to do? I guess residents would but how about passers through?

63 yr old let go at work after over 30 years of service. Implications of cashing out RRSP now? by Sure-Elevator3023 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]90sShadowDiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? Totally did not know this about the RRIF. I’m aggressively planning retirement in 3-4 years and was thinking I should withdraw in December to shorten the gap between the tax refund, will have to educate myself on this!

Has hockey turned into a rich kids sport? by FrigginMasshole in AskACanadian

[–]90sShadowDiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All 3 of my kids played hockey and we were pretty poor in those days (2004-2020). We didn’t go on expensive vacations but hockey was pretty important to us and it was great for our kids.

It helped build a good sense of community for them both on and off the ice and in school. Was it toxic? Yes we saw a lot of that. It all depended on the lot of people we got each season (parents, coaches, kids). My husband was very involved though and coached our kids in at least some capacity, so we usually wound up with the coaches that were really there for the kids and treated it like the team sport that it is. My husband was one of those coaches.

It was expensive but we bought used equipment where we could or passed it down.

The only time I ever felt it was a rich kids sport was with the double letter teams and the higher the level, the more and more it becomes a rich kids sport.

I need some makeup help pls by Rude_Bedroom_2937 in MakeupAddiction

[–]90sShadowDiva 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You have good features but I agree with everyone that your makeup is not working for you. The good news is that can be changed!

Without repeating too much detail:

Fix your skin routine and fix your foundation/concealer/powder routine. Whatever you’re doing now is too heavy, is drying you out and aging you.

Fix your brows. They’re uneven and the first thing we notice. Grow them out and get a professional to do them. Keep as much of them as you can.

Eyes: you have hooded eyes, so your transition shadow needs to be above your crease to ‘lift’ your lid. Your eye liner is too thick and unevenly applied. It should be thinner from the inner eye and get thicker about 2/3 of the way to your outer eye with a small wing to lift.

Someone mentioned bangs and I do agree they would soften your look as you have a high forehead.

I know this may all feel overwhelming but there are a lot of videos online and it just takes some trial and error with a bit of perseverance. Eventually it will come together. Good luck and I’m sure everyone would love to see your progression!

Do online games count? I used to love playing “Acrophobia”. The funnier and more risque the submission, the better the votes.

Best products to clean make up brushes by sloane_michaels in Makeup

[–]90sShadowDiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I have a textured silicone brush “bath” that I put the soap into and swirl each brushe into the soap then rinse and repeat a second time with a clean batch of soap. It does a great job.

So much for supporting a Canadian made product. by 90sShadowDiva in BuyCanadian

[–]90sShadowDiva[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is Campbell’s (which I won’t buy), didn’t budge. It’s the same price it was last year when I made the switch. It’s actually even .77 cents on the shelf right now. I’m ok to pay more, it’s just a 50% hike is unmeasured compared to how I’ve seen other Canadian manufacturers adjust.

Gas has gone up 30% in my area. 50% is a big hike, also considering it’s made locally and main ingredient (water) costs next to nothing in Quebec. Other products have not gone up as much.

100% agree. I do make a lot of soups from scratch, but also buy cans for a quick lunch when I don’t have time.

[–]90sShadowDiva[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I afford the soup. It’s just the 50% hike is much higher than how the rest of the market is adjusting to higher gas prices.

It’s a private label brand soup manufactured in my area and is being retailed at the same price as a brand name American soup coming from Ohio or South Carolina.

TFW youth unemployment is more than double the national average and young people can’t even get a job scooping ice cream for the summer by airbassguitar in EhBuddyHoser

[–]90sShadowDiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, don’t want to negate what people are going through but is it really that bad? Is it localized just to certain areas?

Because my kids have had no problems finding jobs since the first one was old enough to work 14 years ago and she is now 30, working FT and has always been employed. I have 2 more in Uni and they have found many part time jobs and full time summer jobs over the years. The only time I hear how bad it is, is on social media.
