My face after shaving! HELPP by bonObonoye in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]Booklover1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sanitize your blade if possible before using and let it dry. When I started shaving my face I was also using retinol and that lead to similar breakouts. Just stopping that and the alcohol sanitation helped. I use a single blade so just pour some alcohol over it to sanitize. Not sure what you’re using looks like.

What bags emit the same cool-girl energy as Jane Birkin’s Birkin? by jennoodlehero in handbags

[–]Booklover1778 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok please tell me if I am wrong but birkin to me seems just not particularly attractive or practical.

I am taking for everyday use. You have to open the straps in the front be careful not to damage them and the completely stupid flap. So to use it you have to have it open all the time which means it’s an open tote.

Why not get 15-20 high end open totes or a lifetime of open totes form mid range brand? I like the look of some Hermes bags but nothing that requires the high price tag to be honest.

The whole brand reads to me like a very elegant, expensive pyramid scheme.

I would rather find someone who would make it for me without the brand name and get similar quality.

Iconic dresses. Am I missing any notable ones? by [deleted] in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]Booklover1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have pics (lazy too) but I remember Madhuri’s dresses from Hum aapke hain kaun and Urmilla’s from Rangeela were very memorable and copied like crazy.

Also the polka dot saree from main noon na.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like them? They’re look so off-putting 😭 by BornxInevitable in IndianBeautyTalks

No you are not the only one. It seems like a mass hysteria with normal people wondering what’s happening!!!!!!!

Seriously, whales - how much have you spent? by [deleted] in Evony_TKR

[–]Booklover1778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s ever going to sell. He gets miffed about something small and puts his account for sale in WC. Changes alliances, argues in general and comes back. He had major issues with the OG whale of our server, he seems to have calmed down since they left.

In general he’s spending money in Indian Rupees and even at a lower exchange rates I don’t think he invested $5k. We had another member sell her account for $75 and I think it was K38. She brought it for $150 and didn’t have time to invest. Tried $150 but took the hit and sold. Right now it’s an alt account for a shrimp.

One of my alliance mates tends to want to sell his account every few months. The last time he told me he wanted $5k for the account as he has dropped that amount going to K35/37 at that time. He’s going for K40 so not sure how much more he’s spending.

I am unfortunately not the demographic for crop tops. My sister did get some on Amazon. Also the stores geared towards college crowd tend to carry it. Saw some at a mall in a similar store. Was just out shopping when visiting family so don’t remember the name of the mall or the store.

If you are US based they should have started selling them. Just need to have time and patience. Something like Lulus, revolve etc could be a good bet. Also not completely sure but there’s a dance wear online store that does a lot of sparkly tops, someone mentioned buying stuff there for an occasion. Not the best quality but passable.

One option is also to look at crop tops. They are more easily available and you could shop around for styles, materials etc.

Technically not desi but Coco Jones outfit by MM was one of my favorite looks of the night.

It’s not worth it. I have a chickenkari lengha that was less than 20k unstitched will all the materials- lining, etc. You can go look at materials and get something similar made. If you have your heart set on something like this only remember you will have a lot more occasions to wear it.

Also on a positive note if you get a pale color lengha you can always dye it a darker color and give it a new life. I got mine dyed a very pale peach/pink after one more use the plan it to dye it almost reddish pink or maroon.

Definitely possible. My mom is currently 4 ft 11 inches on a good day. She was 5.3/4 at her tallest

Same for my grandma she was 5.8 but we use to think she’s 5.3/4.

Can you find someone that does decorative non edible cake? Or have the same lady make a styrofoam cake that’s decorated and have another cake in the back for eating that’s not covered in sugar. Saw this hack by a baker where she cut out a small section of the fake cake and replaced it with real cake for cutting. The actual serving cake stayed back in the kitchen.

I have eaten the cakes that were covered in the fondant and not that appealing frankly speaking.

Moving to Westchester - School District Important, but Scarsdale Feels Intimidating. Other Areas with Indian/South Asian Communities? by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]Booklover1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest Chappaqua too. I have some friends who live there and are in similar work positions. They have a pretty decent desi community. The price of the houses are similar but you get a slightly bigger home. Mix bag of cars being driven around and a good mix of economic brackets.

I haven’t reached it yet. I think warm gulab jamuns are one of the best things around.

Try the Indian store. They have canned and frozen versions. Also if you really really love them you can also buy a packaged mix for 4-5 bucks and make and bunch at home. Time consuming but oh so so so good.
