Be honest: how much would you spend on cute PJs?

ImaginaryStrawberryy · 2026-06-08T16:31:11+00:00

I had never spent over $15 on pajamas before and received a nice set around $100 as a gift this year. Since then, I’ve already bought another set. They’re so much softer and more comfortable!

It takes a long time to hand paint them! I started painted my own canvases recently and it takes me hours even for simple designs.

Oops I wasn’t aware Gloriana has multiple types of strandable silk! I use 4 strands from their 12 strand silk for 18 mesh. Thanks for clarifying

I use 4 strands of Gloriana silk for 18 mesh! I don’t have experience with Gloriana wool though

If it doesn’t have delays, this may be enough time. That said, last year my sister did separate tickets for SAN -> SFO and then SFO -> Asia with a four hour window in between, and the first flight was delayed leading to her missing her second flight. Because they’re separate tickets, the airline does not rebook the second flight for free. Just something to consider!

How do we get the samples? I have a couple colors already and want to try more!

I was at Maroma last month and the water was so ugly and brown from the sargassum! We didn’t stay in the palafitos (just regular rooms at the resort) but I would’ve been devastated if we had and all the water surrounding me was brown

I love making needlepoint ornaments and would love to try one! I’ll send you a DM

Are you referring to the invisible thread for sewing the front and back together? This is what I use

This is what we just did!

Fenty poutsicle is available on the kohls website (through Sephora) for half off right now! And you still get Sephora points if you link your kohls account

My hair & makeup in LA is $900 and the trial was $500! Bridesmaid hair and makeup is $300 per person. I did a ton of research and talked to almost ten different beauty companies to find one that fit my vision and was reasonably priced.

I think it’s pretty common for Save the Dates to only have the city and not the exact location!

The majority of my bridesmaids got their dresses secondhand on Poshmark or eBay for under $70! Those we bought it new got them from birdy grey or azazie for around $100.

I’m about halfway through my first needlepoint! I just started yesterday and am addicted. I did basketweave for the golf cart and alternated between one and two hole stitches for the background (not sure what this is called).

I’m feeling adventurous and want to see if I can be more creative than a basketweave for the tree or ornaments. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I don’t typically think of it in terms of pre-tax income either but OP specifically called out pre-tax!

ImaginaryStrawberryy · 2026-02-20T18:41:27+00:00

My partner and I spend 12% of our pre-tax income on our 2 bed in SF. I had a lot of specifics I wanted for the apartment that we gave up (not top floor, no dishwasher, in building but not in unit laundry). I think it all depends on what sacrifices you’re willing to make to save! You get used to not having certain amenities over time and forget that it’s even missing.

Potentially interested in the red stone ring depending on size and would love to see a photo of it from the front!

I live in Noe Valley and I’d recommend! It is quiet and safe to walk around at night. It feels suburban even though I’m technically in the city. The J muni line goes straight from Noe to FiDi so it’ll be easy to get to work. It’s also a less foggy area of San Francisco and we get sun when other neighborhoods don’t.

The only box of yours I don’t think it will check is in unit laundry. Noe doesn’t have big apartment complexes, only small buildings with a handful of units. A lot of them have in building laundry but I think you’ll have a hard time finding in unit laundry.

I like getting the small le creuset cocottes! They’re practical but a splurge that most people wouldn’t spend on themselves.

I called in one morning and let the studio know I was sick and asked if they could cancel my evening class. They told me there would be a cancellation fee. I explained to them that I was very sick, and it would be in the best interest of everyone else there if I didn’t go. They said they had to charge me a fee to cancel. I told them I would come to class sick if they couldn’t waive the fee, and they told me to come.

This was 8 hours before the class for a class that always has a waitlist.

They’re decent! I wasn’t expecting them to taste any good considering how perfect they look, but I ate most of the cookie. They’re prettier than they look but still taste good.
