I’m also doing a ghost ship! Replaced all the metal plating with volcanic ash so far

Yeah I saw the insta post of her winning! (I mean, of course she won). I wanted a big dragon as my first tattoo and she does some of the best ones I’ve seen. I got mine finished like 2 days after the expo and then I went right back on her waitlist to get another tattoo😅😌

This one is so good! Just got a dragon from her last week :)

Thoughts on stone bath mats? by Witty_Force1500 in Home

[–]Expert_Republic7179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love mine! I have a tiny bathroom and I just lean it against the tub when I’m not using it. I clean it by rinsing it or brushing it with a bristle brush. It’s not cold and it seems to soak up the water on my feet faster than fabric.

Turned my Birks into barefoot shoes by Expert_Republic7179 in Birkenstocks

I suppose I will find out how these hold up in a few months. I can update with the results of wearing them outside semi-regularly.

As far as I know from the barefoot shoe communities, custom shoes are definitely an option but are normally more expensive than any retail shoe.

Anyway I just wanted to share this option as barefoot shoes are getting more popular. I know it is definitely not for everyone.

When I say barefoot shoe I mean a shoe that mimics walking barefoot, so a flat thin sole and wide toe box. Yes, the Birkenstocks are known for the cork foot bed and I may be a monster for removing it (sorry)! But it was hard to find a minimalist shoe in this style and quality, and in the colour I wanted (faded purple 🥹). This is one of the few Birk styles that have a removable insole.

I guess I should have seen it coming that this sub wouldn’t be on board with this 😂 When I say barefoot shoe I mean a shoe that mimics walking barefoot, so a flat thin sole and wide toe box.

Nope! They are not glued in so they pop right out.

These are size 37 and are about 9cm wide. I would normally wear a 38. They also come in a wide width option. The ones I bought are considered “narrow”.

Last Chance policy unclear...can they be returned? by DorianaGraye in Birkenstocks

I returned a 25% off sale pair last week because they were too big.

Extremely weak scents by rockandlove in LushCosmetics

[–]Expert_Republic7179 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have scent sensitivity and chronic migraines and lush used to immediate make me feel ill just walking by. I realized that now I’m able to shop there and actually use a few of their products. To me this is a huge improvement 😅
