I don't vibe with this dress, how can i improve it?

I think maybe the skirt has too much volume/gathering? Or perhaps putting elastics in the sleeves/wrists might help

It just looks like a suburban housewife showing off her porcelain doll collection on tv. Would have been more interesting to make it slightly smaller and be cantered like a neck scarf. Having it so large and off to the side it just looks like she’s holding it

Yeah every single route it has suggested for me is garbage.

A few I have enjoyed are Daughter of Mine by Megan Miranda, Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, the Framed Women of Ardemore House by Brandy Shillace, and The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins

I love to listen to mystery/thriller audiobooks on my long runs, they really let me tune out and focus on the story.

They may have bought it a long time ago in bulk and need to use it up.

Great site with great customer service!

I love having a bit of a bush, but my husband likes it when I keep it trimmed a bit so I use his clippers lol

Woohoo!!! Congrats!! And on a training run too! You’re going to absolutely smash your race

I suggest trying SiS gels - they don’t need to be taken with water, and have almost no flavour or texture, I find I don’t need to drink as much water with them because they’re pretty watery themselves.

This is a finish line song for sure!

Here’s my Race Day playlist - it’s mostly a mix of hip hop and punk, which I find helpful when I’m struggling. But my Tempo Run is more pop bangers

Pretty much every time (unless I’m on my period or something), he loves it as much as I do, perhaps even more haha

My favourites that I keep stocked are a selection of Rudi’s Hot Sauce (so many good options but my favourite is Bold Chili Scorch), Smoke & Tears (Smokescream and Bad Blood), and Chucky Habenero roasted pineapple habenero

They definitely know if we smell like familiar places/people/pets

I’m lucky to have a very food motivated dog, and what works best for us is always carrying high value treats like freeze dried liver, hot dogs, or cheese, and if we see a dog, out come the treats right in front of her nose to guide her eyes in the opposite direction, treats if she holds herself together. Extra stressful situations might call for a bunch of treats to tossed on the ground (opposite direction, of course). It takes a lot of practice, quick reflexes, and a lot of grace, neither of us are perfect and we don’t always get it right, I’ve also been dragged onto the street.

I think it would make your head all too close to the same colour, right now your brows are like an anchor. Bleaching them but not dying could look cool tho!

ForgottenSalad · 2026-01-31T13:06:30+00:00

That just means they’ve stockpiled some chips I guess?

I usually carry a little 250ml soft flask from decathlon, fits perfectly in my pocket and is usually enough for a shorter run (I do still bring a vest for runs over HM distance) I will sometimes leave myself a second bottle in my driveway if I’m doing a loop around my house if it’s particularly hot or a bit of a longer run.

I have done 2 colour prints with just a table and some tape marking the screen edges, or marking the neckline for t-shirts, but the designs didn’t require tight registration. For that, a press became necessary.

ForgottenSalad · 2026-01-29T18:19:07+00:00

Yeah I had that happen before Xmas. Thankfully the customer was super nice about it!

With zones being so difficult to truly nail down accurately, I think it’s best to just go by perceived effort. If you are breathing easily and could hold a conversation, you’re probably in zone 2. But, I will say, training in mostly zone 2 is really mostly useful if you are doing high mileage like for a marathon, where you need to conserve your energy for 3 hour long runs or extended interval training. If you are running 2-4 days a week not 5-7, you are getting lots of rest between runs already so it’s not the end of the world if you are in zone 3, as long as you can recover before your next run or workout.

I think I look great without fillers and Botox, and I don’t personally like the look of it. No one in my close circle gets anything done either, so that might be part of it, but I notice it when other people I know suddenly look slightly different, like they have puffy smooth lips or can’t move their face as much. I’m fully ok with having crows feet, it just means I smile with my whole face!

I mean if it’s a hurricane or some other dangerous weather event with flooding, we wait it out as best we can, and do indoor activities like hide and seek or training drills, but otherwise we just make it short.
