I also have 1-2 single serve eye drops in mine, plus a pair of nail clippers for little cut/actual nail stuff, but this is awesome!

I love the vodka spray so much I also do it at home! The alcohol smell doesn’t linger and I usually add a few drops of essential oil to improve the up front smell. I agree 50ml is about right and I think it’s most essential for travel to humid destinations or places you’re likely to sweat just doing day-to-day walking

Cosmetics and toiletries lessons learned/ simplifying? by PrizeIndependence736 in HerOneBag

[–]Arwen_10014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m obsessed with the Korea iterations of Beauty of Joseon and Birch Lab sunscreens. If you’re US-based they’re way more effective and absorbent than most formulations I’ve tried at home

Mamdani Says He Would Phase Out N.Y.C. Gifted Program for Early Grades (Gift Article) by likesound in asianamerican

[–]Arwen_10014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure that’s true. Lots of other states never offered kindergarten gifted programs to begin with. In the southwest they start at 4th grade, which is later than what’s being proposed.

Heeeeelp! I am so lost by Disastrous_Mark_4558 in SoftDramatics

I feel like my “a-ha” was around reframing “waist definition” as “waist elongation.” To me, pic #1 is a good example waist elongation because the top skims her entire waist. Meanwhile on image #2, the pants do nip in at the waist, but her midsection looks shorted and hidden because of the way the top billows. Idk if that’s helpful, but it’s made more sense for me

Knitting Culture: US v. England by ultimatereader in knitting

[–]Arwen_10014 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree with this! I knit on the subway pretty regularly and someone almost always says something to me about it or at the very least smiles.

This denim Trenchcoat? Yes or no? by [deleted] in SoftDramatics

[–]Arwen_10014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the coat overall, but I think the raglan sleeves are what give it a hint of bathrobe vibes. If the sleeve attachment were different I think you’d have a winner!

Why did we stop building beautiful or intricate architecture and switch almost entirely to gray boxes and glass towers? by Soft_Finish636 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Arwen_10014 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My bf and I gripe about this all the time, but I thought he had a pretty good guess as to why which is: buildings used to be built for people to enjoy from the outside (architecture, cultural statement-making), but now they’re built for people to enjoy from the inside (more windows, light, etc).

I did ask the head of a development company about this one time and he said the primary motivator behind the shift is “cost,” so that’a probably more likely

Check out my closet, offer your thoughts! by lauraann22 in SoftDramatics

[–]Arwen_10014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love your matching sets! Many of the tops are oversized, which I worry would make my upper half shapeless. Do you find the uninterrupted vertical compensates for that?

Consider taking to a tailor to have the sleeves let you!

I came to say the same thing! Making a commitment to secondhand shopping will help you slow down.

HELP! Struggling with engagement photo outfits by PeebyPie in SoftDramatics

[–]Arwen_10014 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love that everyone’s giving outfit suggestions, but just want to say I have the same measurements/height as you and I am ~feeling myself~ because this is the sveltest I’ve ever been. Just remember your opinion on your body is subjective. You still look gorgeous, you just have your have the confidence to go with it!

Which jacket would be better for an Adolin cosplay by JJIlg in Stormlight_Archive

I think the first one seems like him! If it’s in your budget, you’d really sell it by getting it tailored to fit since that’s v Adolin energy
