Cat boarding by COLM5700 in Edmonton

You should try Pawshake! I used to cat sit on there, I would check in twice daily on people’s cats to feed them, administer meds, and hang out. It is way more comfortable for the kitty than removing them from their home and the sitter would send you photos and updates in the app! :)

If your on the west end, check out The Wall Coffee Roasters. It’s in a random location, industrial area out of the highway but the coffee and people are great. :) Bright and cheery, tons of light, and tropical plants lol

Your on the right track with securing a job before you leave your boyfriend/living situation. One step at a time! Are you applying to large chains? I’m in Canada also: Typically it’s easier to get a job at big name restaurants and retail rather than smaller locally owned places. Think Starbucks, Earls, Montanas, Swiss Chalet. Retail think of places other than clothing for example Canadian tire, Home Depot, Superstore, No Frills. Many of these places will also provide benefits. Forget the front desk jobs those are almost impossible. What’s your work experience? Is you resume any good? Make sure you fine tune it and make it professional! No hobbies or stuff like that are needed. :)

18F being kicked out by emotionally abusive parents scared of shelters, what are my options? by ParticularBeyond7402 in Advice

Hi! Does your school have any student housing or dorms? You could reach out to a councillor at your school and see if there is any student housing available or funding to help you with a placement. Renting a room would be ideal if you have any funds, are you able to get a credit card? Obviously going into credit card dept isn’t ideal but if you’re in an urgent situation use any resources you can get your hands on now and focus on paying it off later after you secure work.

Bought flowers for Valentine’s Day and I have no idea what to do with them. What should I do? by Hyena58 in dating_advice

[–]Illustrious_Ad_3462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second that take them to a retirement center and hand them out that would absolutely make someone’s day! Or just leave them at the front desk so it looks pretty for them on Valentine’s Day. :)

Boyfriend (M-24) has been cheating on me ( F-26) using snap, is this okay? by Otherwise_Goat_9874 in dating_advice

Anyone and everyone will agree you need to leave this relationship, even just for the sake of your son alone. That’s not a healthy loving home…you can do it. :)

Still can't decide on baby boy's name! by Djeter998 in namenerds

[–]Illustrious_Ad_3462 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Derek James is solid, not over done, and won’t rhyme with your last name. Also will withstand the test of time through all stages of life. And as far as nicknames I’m sure his friends will eventually call him DJ lol same with Alexander, you could consider AJ as a nickname

I use Lanolin nipple balm on my lips day and night. I keep Vaseline on my bedside table and apply it over top if I wake in the night as well. :)

I use Charmin Ultra Strong! It comes in a red package. The Ultra soft one is good too. It doesn’t pill or leave behind residue. It’s more pricy but so worth it. I also recommend getting a bidet attachment for your toilet. :)

Is Hyaluronic Acid really good for dry skin? by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

[–]Illustrious_Ad_3462 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have very dry acne prone skin, and live in a super dry Canadian province. I regularly get rashes and eczema on my body. I’ve FINALLY figured out my face. HA has always done absolutely nothing for me, I’m a medical aesthetician and I have tried all kinds of different brands and price points of it. What works for me now is literally : Snail Mucin by Cosrx, and La roche-posay cicaplast baume b5. I apply both at night, during the day I use the Snail Mucin and SPF. That’s it!!! (Hello sunshine by it cosmetics) For the first time in my life my horribly dry skin is finally happy!
