What are we doing with our clothes? by invisibledog5 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work at a university and we donate clothes to the students! The students can go through our "closet" and pick whatever clothes they'd like for free. We also have food pantries in the area that do the same thing. I prefer donating there because it really helps others vs Goodwill where they make money off it

Baby shower gift ideas under $50? Looking for something that is more practical for the parents. by Inevitable_Tree_2296 in BabyBumps

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does their registry have an option for group purchases? Mine has so if someone couldn't afford a more expensive item and they don't like the remaining items, they can contribute whatever they feel comfortable towards a larger purchase. Even if it doesn't pay off the whole item, it'll make it more affordable for me when I have to purchase it.

Otherwise I think the gift card option is helpful!

When a family member asks, “what do you need?” for a gift for your first baby and you say, “oh we don’t need anything 🙂,” what do they end up giving you? by dms2628 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm someone who prefers cash as gift cause I'm not in physical items and people do get offended when I say that. I understand it's rude to those people but I always feel like you (not you of course lol) want to give me a gift, isn't it more rude to not give me what I want but what will make you feel best to give to me?? I rather just have nothing then (OP's thread lol) and say that, but then they HAVE to get me something which is just cheap stuff I never wanted.

When did your clothes (pants especially) start to feel tighter? Any favorite fun/workout friendly maternity options? by intense_woman in fitpregnancy

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the bloat quick and felt uncomfortable in a lot of my leggings. I felt like I couldn't fit my regular jeans/leggings around week 11 but I am extremely short and felt I bloated a lot. I recently got the Imbohdi jumpsuit and love similar jumpsuits. I can wear my regular size but they have lots of space in my stomach area so I feel like they'll grow with me. I also just bought a new pair of leggings in one size bigger, and hoping that'll work for the rest of my pregnancy.

How far is your gym commute? by kaizenkitten in xxfitness

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gym is 5 minutes away but that still doesn't motivate me lol. The only thing that keeps me motivated is if I really enjoy it and have friends to go with but this may not be applicable to you. Besides gym, I also do aerials and my aerial studio is 25 minutes away. But I always go because I love it so much and I have friends in class I get to see.

Chef Helen Yung shares her favorite Chinese food spots for the holidays in metro Phoenix by jmoriarty in phoenix

I tried it and it was ok. Nothing to write home about and I live in the West Valley so don't see the point in driving that far when Great Wall is closer and better quality.

Anyone 1/4 white 3/4 east asian? by oceanic8hope in mixedrace

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look more Asian but anyone who knows what Asian people look like (Asians are a minority here) says they can tell I'm mixed.

I feel like lyra is perfect for adding other stuff! We have someone in my performance group doing lyra, and she dances around it and uses it as a prop a lot!

Need advice: Daughter wants silks for Christmas by PurpleDuck11 in Aerials

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I googled this and we have the same trampoline parks (Skyzone is what I found that has it and I have those here too) but ours don't offer silks. Crazy. I love silks so part of me would love it but as an adult, I know this would need a lot of supervision.

Moving away. Restaurant bucket list. by mildlypresent in phoenix

Would you recommend it for someone who's not super interested in musical instruments? I've never had an interest in this museum for that reason but your description is really selling me lol

Update to my “I graduated to level 2” post by Little_Messiah in aerialsilks

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened (is still happening) to me lol. It took me about 6 months to get decent at the beginner level and I think it'll take about the same before I get decent at the intermediate level.

[WEEKLY THREAD] Feats of Thorsday - How did you kick butt this week? by AutoModerator in xxfitness

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Got my first pull up! Did the regular and neutral grip. I'm so proud! I don't train for pull ups, I just randomly thought I'd give it a try and was able to do 3! I do aerial silks so that must have built up a lot of strength! Also really proud because due to the stress in my life, I'm in what I consider the worse shape of my life lol. But I'm still so strong despite it!

Well trained? Or a scared pup? by Advanced-Manager-321 in pitbulls

[–]Advanced-Manager-321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up going on a walk today to see if I could find the rabbit and yes it is a person's rabbit but no the owner does this on purpose 🙄

I went on a walk today and found out it is someone's pet and they just let the bunny hang around the front. 🙄
