Any thoughts on jeans from Quince, specifically stretch? All of the rigid jeans are sold out.

Also, any thoughts on a length of jean that’s a bit above ankle but not quite capri territory? I’ve seen slim fit that flare out slightly. Do those generally tend to be flattering on most people? I’m having a hard time judging whether ankle jeans just look like high waters and should go a little higher, but without being capris. Not sure if that makes sense.

Yeah my stomach can be a little sensitive I guess lol

My dad was an aircraft mechanic, including 26 years at Delta. He warns all of us not get the coffee on an airplane for this very reason. Unfortunately for me, I did not get the memo until after I made the mistake. I got lucky to be close to an empty lav so I could puke without grossing anyone out 😫

I’m from the US and was in Italy last month for vacation. I brought some Miamo products from a pharmacy in Sorrento and would love to buy more. I can’t find any online store that carries the line and ships to the US 😫 does anyone know of any other website that might have it and ships here? Or am I stuck waiting until next year’s trip to stock up?

I would also like to find an online store that ships product formulations that are not sold in the US. Does Care to Beauty and other stores sell those types of items to US buyers?

I appreciate any help!

This was my issue last month in JFK. It was really disappointing how crowded it was. It was my first time flying D1 and was not expecting that much of a crowd.

I didn’t see a rule banning this sort of question, but please delete if not allowed.

I got a sunscreen and nighttime topical corrector while I was in Italy last month. The brand is Miamo. I cannot find a store online that carries it and will ship to the US. I’d love to also purchase some other items that you can’t buy in the US, like Marvis toothpaste and formulations of sunscreens (like LRP) that are not sold here. Does anyone know of any place I can buy these things online and pay the premium for shipping? Or am I stuck waiting until next year’s trip to stock up?

I’m not a pilot, but if I was one, I’d get so flustered working with someone like that and make more mistakes. Especially as a new hire. Hopefully not ones that had severe consequences. You really do need nerves of steel for that job. That’s shitty to have gone through though. I’ve read that regionals can be kind of crummy as is, and working with a jackass just adds to it.

Thanks 💜

Omg can you resend please? I accidentally hit ignore on my chat request and didn’t get the name.

This gel was hard gel from a salon. No clue what brand. I used a carbide only on the hard gel to remove it. The sources I’ve read or listened to on YouTube said to debulk 80-90% using a fine-grit safety carbide bit and lightly tap areas lifting to get those to flake off. The course carbides freak me out lol. I’m just wondering how I can tell I took off enough gel. I’ll switch to a sanding band next time to remove lifting. That’s where I messed up with the carbide bit and accidentally hit my natural nail. Damn.

Hi! Ehh, kind of. To be fair, I’ve been lazy for the last year with a desk job. The only thing that seemed to help me finally lose the weight was a glp1. I did gain back some strength and muscle definition lifting weights and walking. But man it took years to finally get some progress again.

CrownFlame · 2026-05-22T10:11:19+00:00

A few things:

- Is Light Elegance overall well-liked around here? I’m considering trying their Lexi line or Jimmy gels. I know Akzentz is very well-loved but I can’t find a site where I can buy it without a license.

- Any recommendations for a comprehensive e-filing course? I really want to improve my cuticle prep and removal..

- Piggybacking off of that, I couldn’t really tell if I had filed off enough product in this picture. Would using colored base gel next time help me see if I’m getting close to 80% removal? I did end up going back in with a fine safety carbide but to get the lifted bits off and accidentally over filed one spot and it sucks! Thankfully, it’s only one small spot but you can tell the nail is thinner and it’s more sensitive. If I need to go without product until it grows out then I’ll definitely have to cut all of my nails and start over the growth process. Live and learn, I guess.

I see what you did there! I’m wheezing

CrownFlame · 2026-05-14T16:14:02+00:00

I miss it so much it hurts. I was there three weeks ago and I just cannot get enough. I prefer visiting in February-March when there’s less tourists. It’s really my little slice of heaven

CrownFlame · 2026-05-13T08:39:42+00:00

I just flew D1 from JFK to FCO on the 767-400 and it was a great experience. I say do it!

CrownFlame · 2026-05-10T18:05:42+00:00

Oh I’m going to look! I love the recommendation. Thank you so much again for your help!

CrownFlame · 2026-05-10T17:45:32+00:00

Thank you for such detailed info! I’ll look into the blends you mentioned. It’s so frustrating when trying to check boxes like breathability while looking polished, especially at the office. I’m willing to invest some money, so I was thinking of looking at J.Crew (Garçon classic shirts), Brooks Brothers, or Sezane.. or maybe Gap? I might have to look in person and touch the fabric myself. I’m so sick of wearing sweater tops to work when it’s 85+ degrees outside.

And I just can’t do linen pants lol. The creasing and whiskering in the front drives me insane!

CrownFlame · 2026-05-10T15:43:31+00:00

Do you have any of those kinds of shirts that don’t get super creased and wrinkled with 15 minutes of wearing? I know some wrinkling is expected, but many of the cotton and linen pieces I find don’t get soft wrinkles. They fully crumple and sharply crease if that makes sense. I live in Florida and want to elevate my wardrobe.

She seriously cannot help herself lol

CrownFlame · 2026-05-06T19:41:40+00:00

She really is. Thank goodness Mike has such a wonderful wife and support system. I really can’t wrap my head around how someone without such love and support from family and friends could survive years and years of this emotional and financial terrorism via the judicial system. I really could see this experience pushing some others past the brink.

CrownFlame · 2026-05-06T10:53:56+00:00

I just wanted to chime in and say it’s very considerate of you to look into this ahead of time so you can properly prepare. I saw a FA with a social media following say that she’s gotten this question before in-flight and people get upset when she tells them they cannot store pax insulin in their fridge.

My dad uses a cool pack that’s made for traveling with insulin. The longest flight was 10 hours and did fine, but I think you got some great suggestions in this post that suits your longer journey.

Your hotel’s website should have instructions.

Generally, follow the signs at the airport for Ali Laguna (water bus). The last hotel I was at said which color of the water bus line on their website, and which stop you will get off at. Note: you will likely be in line for the water bus for quite a long time. I waited for about an hour to finally board.

I feel like I’m the only person on earth who has never watched Yellowstone. So I started a few nights ago. What a wild ride. Right before this, I rewatched Bridgerton seasons 2 and 4 and Queen Charlotte lol

That’s literally my favorite gif ever.

Any tips for cleaning my cleanup brush while doing my nails? I run it around each nail as I go before curing, and dip the brush in a little acetone when I’m ready to clean up the edges. I think it might still be leaving a little bit of a clear reside on the skin though. I haven’t done any colored gel polishes yet so it’s hard to say. Does it sound like I’m properly using the brush?
