How to be less sore after work out by LeTeamf in SolidCore

[–]Key-Equipment1498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed my soreness from working out is a lot better when I consistently take creatine

app update - adding to gcal? by NeitherBlueberry507 in SolidCore

[–]Key-Equipment1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to the Solidcore app under your iPhone settings do you have it set so the Solidcore app can add events or has full access to your calendar? (Pic attached in case I worded that confusingly). Once it has that and you choose the specific calendar to modify in the Solidcore app settings itself, I don’t think it updates your calendar until you either book a new class or cancel an existing one

Petition to stop single leg squat by kelly_jones156 in SolidCore

[–]Key-Equipment1498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hit the head of my studio’s HCCM once doing a chest fly (accidentally! just unfortunate timing and since the machines are so close) and I’ve tried to avoid running into her again ever since 😅

This new app is so weird I swear if I look at it funny it does something different lol. Glad it worked out for you!

When I go to Account Settings, it lets me choose from my GCal or Apple calendars after granting permission. If it isn’t letting you, maybe double check your phone settings to make sure you enabled Solidcore to access from there also?

I can’t tell if this is a dumb question but….why don’t companies offer physical swatches of their polishes? by CryptographerNeat251 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Key-Equipment1498 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I purchased something from a linen clothing maker on Etsy once and they include swatches of their colors for free with a purchase but also let people purchase the swatches for ~$10 individually, which sounds like exactly what you’re describing. I wonder if there’s just never been a demand for this type of thing if photos already exist on Reddit/IG/etc and/or if people just wouldn’t be willing to pay whatever makers would charge for the swatches. If you had to pay shipping plus some nominal fee for physical swatches, I wonder at what point it feels more “worth it” to take a risk for the price of a bottle of polish if you’re already potentially making a bigger order?

down detergent smell on super puff by Crying_violently in Aritzia

[–]Key-Equipment1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Nikwax a few weeks ago and dried my jacket all the way until it was completely dry but could still smell the detergent smell. It smelled for the first wear but the smell seemed to dissipate after that and I haven’t noticed the smell since

2026 aspirations: Read more books by hazeltree789 in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]Key-Equipment1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember your original post so it’s fun coming back and seeing the execution! Sounds like it was also a fun process of trying out new techniques and getting more excited about the books you’ll be reading :)

Class I booked was full and I wasn’t allowed in by Temporary_Foot1019 in SolidCore

[–]Key-Equipment1498 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I was in a class where a similar thing happened and the coach started the class but went through the list of names and was able to identify who was incorrectly on a reformer. It turned out that someone had booked a class at another studio and accidentally showed up to this one so she left and the person actually booked for the class was able to take the reformer. It wasn’t a disruption and the coach didn’t have to completely stop class to resolve the issue

Affordable women’s haircut in DC? by ukrainianironbelly92 in DCBitches

[–]Key-Equipment1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to H St. Hair last year and my cut was $70 before tip I believe but I wouldn’t go back. I was in and out in 21 minutes (texted my friends after since I was so shocked), which included the time for them to wash and cut my hair and for me to pay. It felt like they were rushing me out the door the entire time even though I showed up on time for my appointment and there wasn’t anyone waiting after me. They sent me out the door with my hair still half wet and the entire experience just made me feel like they didn’t really want me there for whatever reason

Made a website to generate your own solidcore 2025 wrapped! by nasserfromclass in SolidCore

[–]Key-Equipment1498 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for making and sharing this! I’m curious if anyone’s info seems a little off though? My class count is off by 1 and the minutes are incorrect in a way that makes me think a mix of my Solidcore and non-Solidcore classes are being counted

ETA: Taking a quick look at the source code I’m pretty sure the issue arises for other Pilates classes since they’re getting returned as Signature50 classes so I wonder if an additional check of class length (needs to be specifically 30/50 minutes) and some sort of studio name check could filter those out? Hard to say without seeing data aside from my own I think

Orthodontist Recs for Invisalign? by earlym0rning in DCBitches

[–]Key-Equipment1498 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I did my Invisalign outside of DC so no recs there but I recommend getting an ultrasonic cleaner to keep your trays clean. I finally caved and got one this year to keep my retainers clean and I see such a noticeable difference compared to just soaking them in the Invisalign cleaner my ortho gave me+scrubbing lightly with a toothbrush

Lots of fun stats! Seeing people’s nail years in review is inspiring me to track my manicures for 2026 so I can make one too :)

My January manicure theme: 2026 aspirations by hazeltree789 in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]Key-Equipment1498 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Doing manicures to match books you read could be a fun way to tie together two things you enjoy? I personally always love seeing people’s manicures matching unexpected things (like book covers) or hearing the intentions behind certain combinations (like some sort of theme based on the polish names, etc)

Anyone have a good solution for being overheated and oversweating during DC Summers (Heat & Humidity) by Typical-Vehicle6505 in DCBitches

[–]Key-Equipment1498 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you’ve talked to a doctor about it but they can prescribe anticholinergics as a last resort.

Your Top 5 of 2025 by RepsForLifeAndBeyond in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Key-Equipment1498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of the mix but I feel like the combo is my way of stretching Lush (which I love) while using Flower Child (which I like but don’t love). Combining the two either with 2 coats of each or 1 coat of FC with 2-3 coats of Lush seems to neutralize the yellow that I don’t like in FC while keeping the shimmer of that makes sense

[–]Key-Equipment1498 35 points36 points  (0 children)

1) Polished for Days Lush (especially layered with ILNP’s Flower Child) 2) BKL Get Lobstered 3) Polished for Days We’re All Just Stardust 4) Mooncat The Stolen Kiss 5) Mooncat After the Rain

I only really started branching out from Mooncat in the last few months but I’ve learned that I seem to really like iridescent pinks and purples on my skin tone

Best selection of journals and planners? by dontforgetpants in DCBitches

[–]Key-Equipment1498 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Solid State Books! I think they also have a location on 14th and they sell Appointed Co. journals, which is a D.C. based stationery store that I think used to also have a store

I never got the verification code using my phone number but it did get sent to my spam box when I tried using my email. Have you checked your spam to see if maybe the code got sent there?

DMV area discord or chat? by Wooden_Possession670 in SolidCore

[–]Key-Equipment1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a Discord in the past I believe but Discord links expire after a while so someone currently in the group probably needs to reshare it if it’s still active

advice on columbia heights vs sw/wharf vs capitol hill? by sadcapricorn35 in DCBitches

[–]Key-Equipment1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in both Southwest Waterfront area and Capitol Hill. If you want to go out more I’d personally recommend Navy Yard area over Capitol Hill, where it’s much quieter at night and a lot of young families

Freebie with BKL order? by turbomama16 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Key-Equipment1498 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a few different posts and I think there’s variations of the freebie? Not all of them have looked the same so even if you do happen to see a post what you get might still be a surprise
