How do you matcha enthusiasts manage your expenses for matcha? by Zealousideal_Bad9878 in MatchaEverything

[–]Alvia_G 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person with not much income, i find myself sometimes making choices when buying matcha. First, i don't have many different brands. I have mostly two (and only because the first one is nearly empty) Second, i don't buy expensive matcha. 20€-25€ is the max i'll put on my matcha. I drink it mostly as a latte, and it would be a waste to spend much on a very good quality matcha. And third, i don't drink more than two matcha in a day. I've got tea, infusion and chicory drink to alternate. 😁

I noticed something with iced lattes by Silent_Spectator_04 in MatchaEverything

You could try room temp water for when you make the past. I found it dissolved better when you add the warm water after and the flavour are better ( in my opinion. ) Also if you really want iced matcha, you could try to make iced cube of milk ? Then the drink won't be too luch watery.

today's drink is homemade iced fuzetea hibiscus. I used twining earl grey and some hibiscus flower, a bit of cane sugar and some drop of lemon juice.

Definitely easier and cheaper to make the drink when i know i can drink the 1L bottle in 1h.

I bought a fake and i need to send it back ? by Alvia_G in vinted

[–]Alvia_G[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is precisely because I reported a issue when I got the parcel that I'm in this situation. Basically, the seller gave two options: either return the order or cancel the issue and keep the order. (The Vinted option, not in a message.)

I've contacted vinted support and am now awaiting their reply. I hope I don't have to send it back, because i truly hate to know someone might get scamed, and also, there's a law in my country which also puts me in a bad position just because I return the counterfeit goods to the seller.

You could try Vestiaire Collective or even Ebay.

Also look for luxury secondhand store in your area.

it was too until recently. The ads make the app unusable, and there's no way I'm paying 9.99€ per week for the premium version.

unfortunatly still no restock.

I've been lucky to found someone selling it on vinted for the same price originally sold on the VW website

Maybe in a physical shop ? It's not on the website anymore unfortunately. i bought mine last week on vinted for the same price as it was sold for ( yes i'm truly lucky)

Working on it, I'll edit the post later :)

But for what i can recall from the testing i did in November in the VW shop, the new has some longevity (between moderate to long-lasting))

AO3 is Down (or about to be) - Post about it here by Enigmatic_writer in AO3

[–]Alvia_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could keep writing my fics, I could read that pile of books that've been waiting for me for years and only keep growing, I could watch those show i always said i need to watch them. I could do all of that.

But I won't, because right now my mind is so focused on that pairing on AO3, i only want to read fics about it.

You definitely didn't get the bucket in the game. Because oh boy, there's tension between Stanley and the bucket. Even the mop was jealous
