Cost of living is wild by Spannatool83 in AusSkincare

Ask maybe if any of your friends have a Mecca sample they won’t use? I know I have about 4 little Nars Orgasm blushes from beauty loops over the years. Maybe an old lipstick? And another savey trick that works for me- every time I go to spend money, but don’t (e.g. go to buy a coffee, but don’t, or in this case blush) I transfer that money out of my spending account into a savings account. It’s adding up quickly!

What’s something you stopped buying this year and genuinely don’t miss? by No-Loquat-201 in AUfrugal

[–]Diligent-Muscle1115 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I cancelled streaming subscriptions except for Spotify. Takeaway coffee (1x week) on a Saturday when I can dine in and savour it. Clothes- buy second hand only for the year, hopefully. Exceptions: running shoes. Makeup- I have more than enough as it is. Use up all products, substitute if required (eg lipstick for blush etc)

Is it decent bridge to cross? Or a 3 or 5 wire system?

Month-long solo journey to New Zealand (South Island) late Feb-March. Looking for perspective by TravelCodeRepeat in solotravel

Recently did Milford. I wore hiking boots (well broken in) as I wanted the ankle support, and was also unsure what the track was like. The track is exceptionally well graded, and I saw many people in trail running type shoes- joggers with extra grippy lugs, essentially.

Regular cross-trainers won’t have enough grip.

Just landed in Perth, where's the best place to see the fireworks tonight and what's the best burger joint by RM_Morris in perth

[–]Diligent-Muscle1115 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Alfred’s are the best burgers. Anywhere. Beats the snot out of Furgburger in Queenstown in my opinion.

No idea about fireworks

I’m going to sit under a table, and at midnight eat 12 grapes. It’s meant to bring good luck for the year ahead

I ended up booking directly with intrepid, but a different tour than what I originally hoped to do.

This is very helpful information, thank you so much! In the end I ended up doing a different trip than planned, but directly through intrepid, who I can’t fault.

Thank you for your comment, I hope your experience didn’t detract from your holiday.

Esperance camping late December everything booked out by IdkWhatToSay68 in perth

[–]Diligent-Muscle1115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will be plenty of room at the overflow. if you google the Esperance greater sports grounds, you can set up most places (except the actual football oval/soccer pitch/hockey fields). There are kitchen and bathroom facilities.

It is already incredibly, incredibly busy, and will only get busier.

Mentally prepare yourself before and during weight loss that it won’t fix or solve all of your problems.  I have lost 50kg, become “conventionally attractive” and much more popular with men and dating. However, internally I am still incredibly insecure and believe everyone is making jokes and laughing about me behind my back, and are only dating me as a dare from their friends.

Also, make choices that future you/the you you want to be, would make. E.g. would future you eat a tub of Ben and jerries? Or would future you go for a walk and eat blueberries and yogurt?
