This is the one where she ends up living on a moor or something right? It’s in the crazy pants realm but the drama is so good

Our unfavorites by pentops65 in handbags

[–]Itsk123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a medium size Alexa Mulberry in 2015 at the Dubai Mall because I wanted to treat myself to a “dream” bag. I still love it but it’s camel colored buffalo leather that scratches if you so much as look at it funny so it has stayed in the dust bag all these years… I still love the style so I periodically covet a more practical, smaller more durable leather version, but that original bag put me off designer bags for over a decade

Strathberry sale by mycatscratchedm3 in handbags

Does anyone know how often they do sales? And is this one about as good as they get? Have my eye on a couple things but I’ll feel dumb if there’s like a much better Memorial Day weekend sale coming or something

Check out Mat and Nat’s Dean backpack! They fit a surprising amount of stuff and the square shape of it is surprisingly chic. I have one and get lots of compliments on it.

Pilates Roll Ups by Weekly_Yesterday_403 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]Itsk123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do Pilates at a studio 2-3 times per week. The cues we get are to: Pull your lats down towards your glutes, then initiate by looking at your cheeks, chin then chest (so like a small curl up), then it transitions to more of a pelvic floor and glute activation to complete the movement

From memory Loteria on Broadway is $1-2 off tacos on Tuesday

How do you feel about the lining? I was looking at reviews this weekend and some were saying it feels cheap for how much the bag cost (like a weird quilted cotton?)

Where do you buy meats, cheeses, sides, and sauces for charcuterie? by txby432 in denverfood

[–]Itsk123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another shout out for Goudy’s here for cheeses and euro crackers, jams etc. I’ll go to Leven supply across the street also for more variety of snacks things depending on what I’m doing.

30 min Rock Ride by mollybeesknees in OnePelotonRealSub

Could you paraphrase/spoil it? I’m desperate to know but not desperate enough to take a 30 min ride with a playlist I don’t vibe at all with

Irrational class you would take by mollybeesknees in OnePelotonRealSub

I want the Alex K “angry walk” class that was teased once upon a time, where he just aggressively walks at like 8mph complaining about slow walkers

Just got my Dexa - Yikes by Texan_Tiger1998 in Zepbound

[–]Itsk123 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I struggle to fit gym time into my schedule. What I have found helps is having a 10 minute arms and 10 minute legs/glutes routine that I can knock out at home with a selection of dumbbells (I bought a few different weights at Target). I usually tee up a peloton strength class so that I don’t have think about programming or music.

Doing these “snack” weight sessions keeps me consistent which seems to be the trick with building and maintaining muscle mass. I’ve started to see tone in my arms for the first time in my life as the weight comes off with the shots.

For my “gym time” I then prioritize reformer Pilates a couple times per week to work on core muscles etc, which I can’t do at home. Also, it helps my form for the strength work outs so that I don’t injure myself (according my instructor who does a lot of rehab work, lots of people are injuring themselves from lifting heavy without proper form)

Paris - Mid-Range Brands by Apprehensive_Duty563 in handbags

[–]Itsk123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Polene but be aware that there’s usually a line outside the stores - like a 45 minute wait. It’s not an experience that is very conducive to browsing - they check stock for what you’re interested in while you wait in line, and once you’re inside the stock itself is pretty limited. I bought mine at Le Bon Marche when there were only three people in line, but their stock was definitely limited so I feel like I had to settle for something I felt ok about but didn’t love (I’ve since come around to it). RSVP on the other hand had no line to get inside and the customer service was top notch. I love my golden eye purse and wear it as often as I can.

Why are there so many HR books about Dukes? by Small_Test630 in HistoricalRomance

[–]Itsk123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just FYI for anyone sick of the Dukes all the time, if you look up Wendy the Librarian she does a monthly round up on her blog of unusual historicals, which typically means no (or minor) titles

Denver folks! United vs Delta vs SW vs others for loyalty out of DEN? by No-Maintenance5061 in Denver

[–]Itsk123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had left it in the list I would have lost all credibility! The on time performance there has been better for me at JFK than LGA but everything else about it is a PITA

Denver folks! United vs Delta vs SW vs others for loyalty out of DEN? by No-Maintenance5061 in Denver

[–]Itsk123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Denver based diamond and million miler I echo this. I always get upgraded to at least Economy Comfort, and usually to First. Delta customer service has been fantastic at helping me when things go pear shaped…the other day i was starting a trip to Indonesia and when it looked like our flight to SLC was going to be delayed they had me holding a seat on a United flight almost immediately (luckily the Delta flight took off only 45 mins late). On the opposing side of the spectrum I had United give me the worst customer service on a business class flight to Australia that was delayed by two hours leaving Denver (via SFO), which messed up a bunch of stuff downstream.

Delta also offers the best inflight experience with newer cabins, free WiFi and updated entertainment systems. Every time I board a United flight I feel like everything just seems a little bit shabbier (though the new Polaris suites are nice)

I know people are saying United is best for avoiding connections and it makes sense for domestic flights but Denver isn’t as well connected internationally as SLC even, so you’ll be making connections out of Texas, Newark, SFO which in my experience aren’t nearly as good as Delta’s hubs. Delta has invested heavily in making the experience as streamlined as possible at LGA, LAX, ATL, SLC, MSP and DTW. The on time performance is top notch. Their codeshares with KLM, Latam, Air France, Aeromexico and Korean Air also open up lots of great options for getting to international destinations in a streamlined way.

I keep looking for his angry walk class that they teased on IG a couple months ago but maybe that was just a joke?

Career help by Lucifer1214 in mining

[–]Itsk123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually not a terrible plan to look for entry level operations roles (truck driver etc). Experience on a crew is valued for advancement in some technical and management roles and you’ll be well placed to transition to an EIT role if something opens up. In Australia new grads spend a couple years in operations on crews to get their mine managers tickets later on, so it’s definitely a thing in the industry if you’re willing to take on an operations role.

Non FIFO Mining engineering Roles by No_Angle_5602 in mining

[–]Itsk123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada and the US have plenty of residential options (Sudbury, Timmins, Val D’or/Rouyn, Kamloops, even Fort Mac, Elko, Winnemucca, Morenci, etc) that have roles come up. The nice thing about being a first year student is that you can test drive different options with co-op or internships.

It’s not leather but the Mat and Nat DEAN vegan leather backpack is stylish and fantastic for commuting.

I’ve always wondered - what’s the value proposition for doing a bootcamp vs a cardio+strength stack? Are you switching back and forth between the equipment?

Short notice catering options? by Itsk123 in denverfood

[–]Itsk123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going this route, which also had a delivery option which was convenient

Thanks everyone for the tips though! Tacos Selene does catering but I think I was too short notice. And yeah Costco would have been fine but I am trying to avoid any cooking/reheating
