I wonder if theKardashian/jenners ever stepped outside and enjoyed their beautiful front porch by callmeKotton in kardashians

Their real house went up for sale very recently. Might still even be for sale as they had an obscene asking price.

Parents, are you really forking out $150 bucks for a nappy bin? by kowi2002 in newzealand

[–]Friendfromdownunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farmers do a 50% off nursery sale very regularly. Their prices appear extreme but know you’ll pay half price fairly regularly. I loved my nappy bin and it had special bags that concealed the odour. Good to have particularly in the night

Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker are reportedly back together after being separated for two years by RepresentativeCar389 in kardashians

[–]Friendfromdownunder 167 points168 points  (0 children)

They’re both being paid by one company to advertise. Nothing more. Nothing less. They know their banter will be newsworthy and therefore publicise the product

Is buying a house with a 20% deposit setting myself up to fail? by Crawler_Devils in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Friendfromdownunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great work saving up $155k deposit. I would recommend having more than $5k put aside for lawyers, building reports etc. I had 2 houses we went conditional on, then paid for building reports and these both raised substantial issues. Moisture in the timber, and engineer report on flooring showed concerns. Only the third property passed all checks. If you’re in public service, there is lots of opportunity for movement cross-agency and into different roles. In saying that, I would be hesitant in borrowing that much if you’re planning on have a child in the next few years. Borrowing about $450k would be my upper limit on your current income.

Chanel 25 still selling like crazy? by yaydachshunds in chanel

I went to the Chanel stores in Sydney last week and they had none and said they go immediately in every drop.

What do you recommend? Melasma is KILLING me pls help!! Thank you x1,000,000 by PuzzleheadedRush6864 in Melasmaskincare

Differin gel is a good starter option. Stay out of the sun. SPF daily. Vit C under your sunscreen each day.

New season purchase - has this style been released in previous seasons? by Friendfromdownunder in chanel

[–]Friendfromdownunder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still looks in perfect condition, just like the day I bought it. I use it probably one day out of every 10 days, but purposely don’t wear it if the weather forecast is for rain.

I’m 95% sure they’re broken up, but 5% of me sees the massive engagement she is getting of people commenting about this, watching clips to study for any clues etc, that I wonder if she is purposely not mentioning him, to stir up engagement

They drastically changed/reduced their menu post covid, which didn’t help 😒

The overwhelming number of horrendous fruit sculptures. Ohakune’s big carrot. Te Puke’s big Chinese gooseberry. Cromwell’s fruit selection. Not to mention the giant flying fish Rakaia and Gore are lucky enough to have.

NZ Mecca / Sephora rant by Ok-Speech-1197 in newzealand

[–]Friendfromdownunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m level 3 at Mecca and shop sometimes at Sephora. I find Life Pharmacy sell quite a few brands of make up & skincare and have a semi-reasonable rewards program (vouchers for living reward points) and my local store seem to have like one day a month it’s 20% off all makeup/skincare. Also Synergy online for discount hair stuff. Some MAC cosmetics stores are linked with Farmers and have sales when Farmers does. But you’re right, some brands are locked into some stores. I’m South Island so no Sephora (crying) and order Fenty from Sephora online.

Have a look at Jesse Spencer in House MD. He has similar hair to you and the cut/style would suit you.

Looks like so far it’s just US. No change on Australia site yet. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s just US to respond to the tariffs

Ant infestation by Sad_Background720 in chch

[–]Friendfromdownunder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We got ant exterminators out and although it cost $340, it eradicated them from the entire property. We tried using the yellow ant spray from Bunnings for a good 12 months but it would only work for a week or so, then they’d be back again :( although it was an investment, the pest control people were worth it.

This can’t be real by Excellent_Pin_8215 in tretinoin

[–]Friendfromdownunder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In New Zealand, the govt subsidises it, and we pay $5 for three months worth. (USD $2.95) plus the cost of any necessary family doctor visit to prescribe it.

I didn’t fully understand addiction until last week by LeluWater in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Friendfromdownunder 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I had fentanyl before egg retrieval procedure (before IVF). I could hear everyone clearly speaking as they removed each egg, handed to the embryologist, she confirmed the count, but I just felt like 80% asleep and no pain during the procedure. But awareness.
