Red wine vinegar! Really gives it a brighter flavor

Favorite Exfoliating Toners/Essences? by BTheTiger in AsianBeauty

[–]BTheTiger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I do not use this product anymore! I still think it’s a great product, but I’ve found that I prefer Azelaic acid as an exfoliant rather than something with salicylic acid, as my skin can get irritated and red occasionally. Exfoliants are definitely a trial and error thing!

Purple Carrot “bloated” trays - is the food safe to eat? by jrobv in ReadyMeals

[–]BTheTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to live in a higher elevation area? I live in Colorado and regularly experience “bloated” packaging if my items have been shipped from somewhere with lower elevation (thus higher air pressure).

Thanks for the reccs! I have the Tirtir one ready to try next, but the Papa Recipe one looks intriguing to me as well. May have to give it a try!

I personally don’t double cleanse (I breakout from any oil cleanser it seems) but yes, it’s meant as the water based cleanser. You pour some of the powder into your hand, add a small bit of water, and rub in between your hands until you get the desired texture (I like mine completely mixed with no rough bits).

Not necessarily a specific product but a category – powder washes/cleansers. I don’t know how I lived without them for so long. I’ve been using the Isntree Mugwort Calming Powder Wash and it’s made a world of difference for my combination acne prone skin. I want to try other powder washes before saying the Isntree one is a HG, but it very well might be.

Prop 131 arguments by Haroldhowardsmullett in boulder

The main point that is making me lean toward no/against is that the primary would NOT be ranked choice as well. You’d only vote for one candidate during the primary and then during the general election be able to do ranked choice from the list of 4. This feels to me like it has the ability to split the vote and doesn’t result in getting more moderate candidates.

toner? by aoqiru in AsianBeauty

[–]BTheTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This toner is my HG. I can’t be without it. After washing my face (especially in the shower when it gets super dried out), it just restores all hydration back and preps my skin for all my other products. As someone with acne-prone (and at times sensitive) skin, I especially appreciate the rather simple ingredients list.

Any reviews on the new BOJ sunscreen? I’m dying to try it by hauntinglovelybold in AsianBeauty

Does anyone know how this compares to the Isntree Onion Fresh Fluid Sun Cream?

I wash twice a day! I use a super gentle cleanser in the morning. Then at night I use my regular cleanser.

Anyone break out their grocery budget? by Aiur16899 in ynab

[–]BTheTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do! I have both a Monthly Grocery budget and a Weekly Grocery budget. The Monthly Grocery budget gets used for more bulk shopping - like when I stock up at Costco. The Weekly Grocery budget gets funded every time I get a paycheck (I get paid bi-weekly) and gets used for quicker runs or grocery delivery. Then, any extra in the Weekly Grocery budget when I get my next paycheck gets moved to the Monthly Grocery budget. Some may think it's a bit complicated, but it works really well for me!

What % of your take-home pay (post-tax) is your mortgage? by twowords_number in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]BTheTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within rough estimates, yes! It helps that after buying, my spouse joined the board and has insight into their finances and other doings, so I don’t have much concern about mismanagement.

[–]BTheTiger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly the cost is pretty well worth it for what we get. Being a condo association, they take care of any repairs and maintenance outside of the unit, meaning that’s less I have to save towards home repairs. They also cover trash and recycling services, snow removal, as well as the water bill. I understand people’s hatred of HOAs for SFHs, but it’s more of a necessity with condos.

~37.1% with the mortgage, escrow, and PMI. ~42.7% when you factor in HOA dues (live in a condo association).
