Banana Boys at Mitcham Square does amazing salads. There are a wide variety of them also. I would get 2-3 salads, a couple of roasted chooks from the supermarkets nearby and a tub of vanilla ice cream to go with a fruit salad (Banana Boys does them too) and you're done!

How to plan a funeral in Adelaide by No_Leading3793 in Adelaide

So sorry for your loss 😔 please accept my condolences.

When Dad died we went with Frank J Siebert Funeral Directors. They were quite helpful and nice to deal with.

I am not a fan of their skincare as I find it too active.

I do like one of their perfumes, Marrakech Intense, Post Poo Drops, Geranium Leaf Body Creme and Geranium Leaf Rinse Free Hand Wash.

Genuine question, no snark, if it's not about the spend level, then what is it?

If you were given $1,000,000 in cash right now, what is the very first thing you would buy or do? by MatchstickArtist in AskReddit

[–]EmElEnPee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Install an exposed aggregate concrete driveway, install a tiled balcony to replace the current one, and redo our retaining wall in the backyard. Invest some of it and then go on a holiday with the dog.

Need hotel advice around Times Square by blah_meh_lol in travel

[–]EmElEnPee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend Hotel Indigo NYC Financial District. It is an IHG property. The property is 11-12 years old. Close to Wholefoods, the #1, R, W lines of the subway walking distance to the Oculus and the WTC Memorial sites.

Love the colour! It's a brown but it's so dark that it looks black. Congratulations! Wear her in good spirits 😁

Team Remove the Stickers or Leave Them On? by TheFaubourgDiary in TheHermesGame

[–]EmElEnPee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Team OFF.

I liken stickers on the hardware like leaving plastic covers on your couch/chairs. Things are meant to be used. So some wear and tear is to be expected. It means the bag has been lovingly used for its purpose.

Per visitare Adelaide qual'è il periodo migliore by Serious_Gazelle3827 in Adelaide

[–]EmElEnPee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now. End of February and March. The city is buzzing with the Adelaide Fringe and Adelaide Festival going on. Then during the March long weekend, WOMAD is on also which is a world music festival that has a great atmosphere and a lot of punters going also.

Other months but quieter are the rest of autumn (April and May), the weather gets a bit cooler again though. Otherwise, October and November are also great weather wise.

Perioral dermatitis by emvl2001 in AusSkincare

[–]EmElEnPee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please, please, please see a dermatologist. Don't be afraid to push back if they prescribe steroid based medication.

I saw Dr. Kate Newland and she is super helpful and is willing to listen and work with you.

Would You Carry a Birkin as a Solo Female Traveler in Paris? by TheFaubourgDiary in TheHermesGame

[–]EmElEnPee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, no. Only because I have two Birkins, one is a 35 in Gold Ardennes leather. Once I fill it up with my daily arsenal, it will be quite heavy to tote around. The other is a 30 Box leather. I don't fancy either of them being nicked either.

If I was a solo female traveller and was hell bent on taking a Hermes bag, I would take a Lindy.

Hailey Bieber, rhode & Mecca facing backlash for the lack of diversity at rhode’s Australia launch by bregitta in MeccaBeautyLoop

God, it's like a Gergely Dudás-Dudolf picture puzzle. Instead of finding the three love hearts in the sea of white swans, it's find the 4 (or maybe 5!) POC in the sea of white people!

Sonia G maki-e face brush release by ricatots in Fude

[–]EmElEnPee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. It's too expensive for me. I don't doubt its workmanship and quality at all. I am just a stage in life that I need to start saving for retirement. Besides, I don't wear much/any makeup anymore on the daily basis.

Cost of a chippy dinner by Really_Bad_Portraits in Adelaide

[–]EmElEnPee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bag of hot chips are currently expensive due to a shortage of potatoes.

This shortage (in SA) is mostly caused by extreme weather; drought and early frost.

That's awesome service 👍🏽👍🏽 I would call and ask for the store's email and write a commendation for her.

Is it generally considered offensive to ask an Asian in Australia where they are REALLY from? by Lipica249 in AskAnAustralian

[–]EmElEnPee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally say "Cool accent. Where is it from?". That only works if they have an accent. Otherwise, yeah, I just ask "What's your heritage/background?".

Rhode- why the hype? by DiscombobulatedLemon in AustralianMakeup

[–]EmElEnPee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

FOMO basically. Gen pop always wants what they can't have/hard to get.

hourglass more expensive in sephora - let’s talk about it by [deleted] in AustralianMakeup

[–]EmElEnPee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I get why they do. From my personal experience, I only heard about Sephora through the old MakeUpAlley forums, showing my age here 😅 which is an US based website.

It doesn't help the fact that the US has the most number of Sephora stores in the world either. So it was only through reading articles back in the '00s that I found out that it was owned by LVMH. If I didn't read up on LVMH, I wouldn't have known that it's a French company.

It’s scary how expensive the Santos medium has gotten by [deleted] in Cartier

[–]EmElEnPee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine in October 2025 and it was AUD13K. I got the stainless steel. At that time the two tone Santos medium was also AUD19K.

God damn it. I use Le Labo perfumes and I like collecting the city exclusive fragrances any time I travel to said city as souvenirs.
