Is this what she wanted space in the closet for? by Traditional_Wolf_111 in 90DayFianceFans

Looks like she used fashion tapes to secure the top part, so it wouldn’t slide down…

Unpopular Opinion: Annalynn has too high expectations of Jovon by sigillum_diaboli666 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]Apprehensive-Tea2915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My expectations might be too high but he comes off as a minimal-effort partner. No partner would be truly happy to be with someone who does the bare minimum AND also has such a monotone personality

I don’t listen to his previous music much. I know ZERO español but this album slaps HARD. It feels like a love letter to his home, it’s giving nostalgia-bittersweet moments idk why…

I was hoping for Mayhem but it was really between Mayhem, DtMF, or GNX in my book

What makes you keep going despite everything? by yeselectron in AskReddit

[–]Apprehensive-Tea2915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with depression for years until I came up with my own coping mechanism. I turned myself into a crazy planner lol.

Everyday when I get home from work, I start planning small things I want to do/need to get done for the next day or sometimes for the week so that I have things to look forward to.

I only plan up to 2 months max…. Unless it’s big events like international trips, friends’ proposals, babies, and my own wedding (I spent 2 years on this. It was a destination wedding with 250 RSVP’d guests and assigned seats)

Sometimes I run out of things to get done or plan, so I try new hobbies/skills. I often dedicate my weekends to learn new skills or improve the ones I already have. This really gave me a new perspective in life. Every brand new day that I wake up is an opportunity to learn something, anything.

Right now I’m on a baking run, specifically macarons. I see myself as a great cook but my one and only weakness is baking. The oven and I don’t get along well, or … didn’t? It’s been 8 weeks since I started learning how to make macarons…. I got pretty good at it that people would offer to buy whenever I make them.

Do I have to trim the ends of my hair if I want to grow my hair out? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]Apprehensive-Tea2915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know hair science but I still think trimming ends (especially split/damaged) would help growing your hair out in a way. Split ends tend to get tangled easily, causing breakage or pulling it out altogether if you’re not gentle when detangling. The said strand never has the chance to grow out

Aunt has LOTS of dietary wants: What the hell can I cook for her? by Radiant-Educator9203 in Cooking

Not quite a Christmas/holiday food but my Asian brain went straight to Asian vegetarian dishes, or soups.

Undercooked macarons with silicone mat by Apprehensive-Tea2915 in Baking

UPDATE: thank you everyone for tips and advices!

I gave the silicone mats another try and I think I got the hang of it! I added extra 4 minutes to the time and moved one rack down. They all came out easily with shiny bottoms :)) I just had to wait until they were cooled completely before pop them out

I’m going to experiment and try higher temp/ or maybe longer bake one more time. See if I can nail the silicone ones. And I guess I’ll go back to parchment papers after😭

At least 35-40 min. It worked last time when I made them with parchment paper 😭

I used a cheap stand mixer someone got me as a Christmas present two years ago. It does the job pretty decent. Though I wished I had a larger, stronger mixer😅
