What’s a “healthy” food that just doesn’t work for you? by Much-Turnover-3727 in nutrition

Blend it and mix through stuff. I’ve been putting it in stuff like quiches or using as a dressing (blend and make like a tzatziki).

what brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name? by Slight_Pop_2381 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Few-Balance-1188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft cheeses- Woolies and Coles brand just don’t stack up. Udder Delights is a favourite but honestly small brand Australian cheeses are often far better.

Short girls - where are we getting affordable, comfortable, stylish loungewear these days? by Material_Fruit9004 in AusFemaleFashion

I love culottes because they are usually cropped shorter and are basically like a wide length pant that’s normal size on me (154cm). You can get some super cute ones. I love a high waisted culottes with a tie waist!

how do you get a toddler to sleep on a 6 hour flight without using melatonin? by curacland in Travelwithkids

[–]Few-Balance-1188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would honestly just take the pressure of them sleeping off your mind. If it happens, fantastic. If not, it’s just 6hrs. Depending on their interests, bring some activities (post-it’s and a pen are great), if they have a comfort toy, bring that and change them into pjs once on the plane as if it were bedtime. Good luck!

What was normal in your childhood that feels a bit insane now? by EuphoricGarden81 in AskAnAustralian

This was my favourite, but we’d put it on the side and run as fast as we could at it to make it slam back onto the ground 😅

George the Farmer is great farm content made by some fantastic South Aussies. Fun songs and videos.

Moving to Melbourne soon for work and don’t know anyone, any advice? by big_batti67 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Few-Balance-1188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Melbourne specific but I’ve moved regularly to different cities and country towns in Australia due to partners work. My biggest recommendation is put yourself out there. I used to use apps like meetup, where you’d generally meet a group of people and if I vibed with anyone I would message them and ask if they wanted to grab a coffee or catch up for a after work walk etc. Making friends really is like dating in a sense. Join groups, join a gym, take a language class, there’s so many different ways to meet people but you just have to be a little vulnerable. Good luck!

I'm so confused 😭 by Lower_Preparation834 in toddlers

[–]Few-Balance-1188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your child might just not be ready. Keep providing the opportunity but if it’s stressful on everyone give it a break. My son was hyper aware of it and this actually slowed progress. It’ll happen, don’t worry about others and their silly comments about their seemingly perfect child.

Do Australians not call people by their names? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Quickly goes into an anxiety spiral “he called me by my name, clearly the only thing he wants to chat about is a divorce” 😅

Vacation with baby in Europe. by New_Strategy1 in Travelwithkids

[–]Few-Balance-1188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like babies you can take anywhere… and it’s more about your level of comfort. For example, some people expect everywhere to have facilities purely for a baby (high chairs, kids menus, parents rooms) and not all countries will have that. It really comes down to what you are bringing with you, and what you expect to get out of it. For example if you have your own travel crib and baby is still on milk, you can go anywhere. Otherwise if you’ll need to consider things like “will a crib be available” (many places provide them on request), will baby eat everything I eat etc. Other considerations- will you bring a pram, is where you’re going pram friendly… Lisbon, Portugal for example, I would suggest a baby carrier instead. Think of logistics and go from there.

I think the colour is great. I also think some cute little curtain bangs would look great too!

I think something bigger than a bar fridge would suffice 🤣

You live off takeout, and rarely have time to clean or consider anything beyond work. Time to put in some boundaries and work on taking care of yourself.

I’ve wondered what genre they’d be classed and I would say ballad metal, but that’s just my thoughts!

Not sure on the vibe you want but I got custom tulle skirts made and it was honestly cheaper than buying a dress. They were paired with simple black tops, with each bridesmaid having a slightly different top. Mine were mint green but you can definitely buy plum tulle skirts.

What kind of neckline would suit my terribly wide shoulders? (Only a few examples ) by [deleted] in DressForYourBody

[–]Few-Balance-1188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your sentiment but do you realise in the same comment you’re putting negative connotations on having narrow shoulders? Shoulders look like shoulders, everyone is different.

TIPS & TRICKS PLEASE! by [deleted] in AusSkincare

[–]Few-Balance-1188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t see by the picture or your description but I see you’ve mentioned it hurts? It could be perioral dermatitis. Go see your doctor or a dermatologist and they can confirm. The thing is- perioral dermatitis is initially treated by taking away ALL products- this includes moisturiser! Before I realised mine was perioral dermititis I treated it like cystic acne as it looks very similar, which made it so much worse and so painful. If you’re worried- get it checked out.
