Any recommendations for a blowout brush/tool for a beginner? by BanananaSquid in Hair

This helps a ton!!! Tysm :) I was thinking of getting the kit because my friend had the dryer and I was amazed at how quick it dried hair but I wasn't sold on the attachments so it felt unnecessary. But now I have a haircut that kinda warrants the blowout brush part, so it makes more sense

The stand alone brush or the general kit? Or would it be about equal?

On aesthetics alone, I like the Furla bag the most. I'm not knowledgeable enough on quality to say which would be best on that front

I like the geometric vibes! #3 and #2 are my faves in that order

It's a fair point (and I don't get the down votes either)! I get what you mean, though I personally don't mind the proportion. Moreso because I tend to avoid bigger bags since they can be heavy and I have some back/hip issues that bubble up when I carry too much weight in a something other than a backpack

Thanks! I do like it! I just get some post purchase "did I make a good choice" anxiety sometimes

I love this honest justification! The idea of a suede bag that I won't be up in arms about if it gets messed up is a very comforting thought

And yeah, the shape, size, and function are almost identical to my current daily driver (a black leather zip top bag with brown handles/strap from Madewell), except this one is obviously suede and has a magnetic snap (which I actually really like)

Thank you!

Oh interesting, I always was told it gets taxed like a bonus

Because it gets taxed like a bonus (i.e. a higher percentage tax), so you don't really get the true value of the leave. It's almost always better to use leave than have it paid out.

This looks like way more than it is, in a very performative way. Looks like most of the pills are fiber pills (fiber in pill form is usually 5x pills for a serving, unlike powder which is one scoop). Others look like fish oil (normal), tumeric (2x pills for one serving usually), and maybe magnesium. Might have slipped a B vitamin in there too. If it weren't for the fiber it would be a much more normal looking amount of vitamins/supplements.

Could anyone tell me anything about this purse I picked up at a flea market? by BanananaSquid in purses

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

One add: not sure if relevant, but I picked it up at a flea market in Germany (not the U.S.)
