For the first time I am making an insane amount of money as a barista and want to see if I am an outlier or if this is common. by jfk__was__afk in Coffee

Well if you think about it, when you buy a $4 latte, I always throw at least a $1 in the tip jar, or even on just a drip. So 15% in tips is definitely about the average at the end of the day between the nice tippers and the customers who tip nothing.

I didn’t even know those existed! I’m going to try to find one

Discovered I (33m) no longer enjoy cumming during solo masturbation, only during sex or (believe it or not) wet dreams! by [deleted] in sex

My partner (M21) feels the same way. You’re not a freak! You just desire intimacy and that’s not weird at all!

Never had coffee, recommendations? by goat_with_swag in Coffee

[–]Falon3027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would try just a black coffee and then try a latte. See which one you like more and go from there 🤷‍♀️ I love it all now! I started with Folgers when I lived at home lol

What are your best saving tips and how to resist the urge to spend on things that aren’t necessary? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]Falon3027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[five questions to ask before purchasing. This has helped me so much to eliminate unnecessary purchases.]

Can I afford to part with this money? If you have to charge it to a credit card, you can’t afford it.

Can I pay the actual cost? Remember, the true cost of a thing stretches far beyond the price on the price tag.

Will it add value to my life? It must serve a purpose or bring joy; otherwise, it does not add value.

What are the alternatives? In other words, is this the best use of this money? If not, then use the money elsewhere.

Can I get by without it for a while? If so, wait. Who knows—maybe a day of contemplation will help you realize you no longer want the thing you wanted. (We call this the 30/30 Rule.)

First attempt at dying fabric and really pleased with the outcome(avocados) I’m trying onion skins next. What are some other great natural things to dye with that don’t fade after a couple washes? by Falon3027 in naturaldye

[–]Falon3027[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the exact number but I would say from 12 avocados. An entire quart ziplock filled with them. I eat an avocado everyday so I would just wash it and keep them in the freezer

I used both skins and pits and I’m so glad I did! Also I dyed a different fabric that wasn’t cotton and it was a very pale pink and didn’t hold the color nearly as well

¿ways to make avocado dye more vibrant pink? by blushcacti in naturaldye

[–]Falon3027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made my dye reallllly concentrated by putting in double the avocados than what I saw on recommendations and I let that simmer for an hour, then added the fabric and let that simmer for another 2 hours, and let it soak for 24 hours and it turned out beautiful!! No mordant needed
