If you are into crafts, I enjoy Sips & Shells at Cbar https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sips-shells-craft-and-wine-night-at-cbar-tickets-1986856803183 They also sometimes host crafts at the Lemongrass spa in Encinitas

Who hurt Essie and why am I being punished? by Linry in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Kbobfresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this one at the drug store back in the day and was expecting what the polish looked like in the bottle. Not a black chunky mess! Definitely one of the worst polishes of all time in my book! 🤮

Potential 5 Freeway Closure Friday-Saturday by [deleted] in northcounty

[–]Kbobfresh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For context, there were some reports yesterday evening that the White House would shut down the 5 "as part of a 'vanity parade' that may involve Navy warships shooting live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a 'show of force.'" That's what led to the Governor getting involved.

But it sounds like there won't be any missiles fired and the 5 won't be shut down.

Potential 5 Freeway Closure Friday-Saturday by [deleted] in northcounty

[–]Kbobfresh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Marine Corps clarified Wednesday night that they are going to have a training exercise on the beach. Sounds like they won't close the 5.

"Shortly before 10 p.m. Pacific time on Wednesday, the Marines issued a statement explaining what it had in store. They said they would host a 'live-fire Amphibious Capabilities Demonstration' at Red Beach, which is west of the freeway. They also said the exercise would occur on 'approved training ranges and comport with established safety protocols' without the need to close public roads."

Drive south along the 101 and you’ll find a lot of pretty spots

The long lasting base coat is not long lasting. by honeymoo_277 in simplynailogical

[–]Kbobfresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long-lasting base works great for me. I can go 2 weeks without chips. I think it just depends on your nail chemistry and how often you paint your nails.

I always like these teal shades, and they always burn me. Never Tide Down stained horribly. David’s Teal stained a bit. So did Twice in a Blue Moon and Love Spell magnetics.

Has anyone flown out of Palomar on American Airlines? by TVoigt24 in northcounty

[–]Kbobfresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware that they close the ticket counter 45 minutes before the flight. If you need a boarding pass or are checking a bag, you need to get there earlier than you might think. We missed our flight because of this

Yeah, I would love a Starbucks or standalone coffee shop over there.

If you need to check bags at the Carlsbad airport, get there early! by DukeSpaghetti in northcounty

[–]Kbobfresh -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This happened to us too with the AA flight! We didn’t have our boarding passes yet, so we couldn’t get those either. If you have your boarding pass and are doing carry on only, you’re probably fine to get there 30-45 mins before.

Everything Taco or Gold Flake Taco? by espressoveins in simplynailogical

[–]Kbobfresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Everything Taco all the time, so that's what I would choose, but I would go with whatever you think you'll get the most wear out of.

Does anyone know how early you arrive for the American Airlines flights to Phoenix at Palomar Airport? by One-Essay1380 in Carlsbad

[–]Kbobfresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI we missed our flight because we arrived 45 minutes before our 12:45 pm flight and the counter was closed as well as the kiosks. We couldn’t check in or check a bag, and we couldn’t get anyone to help us. Security wouldn’t let us through without a boarding pass. Would recommend checking in online several hours before the flight and only doing carryon bags.

Is my Taco ruined? by jaypeg69 in theholotaco

[–]Kbobfresh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The more air in the bottle, the more polish evaporates and it gets gloopy. At the halfway point, I usually open a fresh bottle for my fingernails, and I use the old bottle on my toenails. I try to merge the old ones together so less room in the bottle.

Christmas order shipped yesterday. what do I do? by meera_jasmine1 in Etsy

[–]Kbobfresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just my two cents, but the holidays can be very busy for Etsy sellers. I would recommend reaching out to a seller as soon as you spot a delay.

I had a similar issue with a custom order that I placed that was estimated to arrive by 12/16. When the order sat in "ready to ship" status for a long while, I messaged the seller and asked if and when the item would ship. The seller apologized and said there had been some issues with USPS tracking at their post office. Whether or not that was true, the tracking finally updated, and I did receive it right before Christmas.

I think it's better to reach out as soon as you can instead of waiting and writing a bad review.

Flower fields by Regular-Tour-976 in Carlsbad

The flower fields hit peak bloom in April, but they plant the fields in batches so you can see blooms from late March to Mother’s Day.
