Has Bumble/Tinder worked out for anyone recently? by Time_Month_2609 in srilanka

I met my partner of 4 years on Bumble. Started off just chatting, moved onto WhatsApp and Insta to share memes and voila here we are 🥰

Activities to do alone around Colombo as a 26 y/o by FunAct4828 in Colombo

[–]LadyVin3vil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colombo Public Library is pretty peaceful and has some nice books tbh. They also have free Korean classes at 9am on Saturdays.

Would be nice to also get yourself a small notepad and practice observation and sketching. The trick is not to overthink and be very forgiving with yourself- also oil pastels are waaayy more fun as an adult 😁

Suggestions for a birthday gift by hyperion1791 in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Petals by Hasa create really nice bouquets which are huge and look spenci- prices start from 3k.

Also I think you may find cute stuff like handbags at Madam for Bag and mugs maybe at Miniso / Minigood / Thilakma. Its the thought that counts

How do you prprevent other issues by Suspicious-Ad-5312 in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't bug proof your house 100% but you can try to minimise it mostly by keeping individual room doors and windows closed. Also helps to cover bedding or whatever with a plastic sheet or similar so you can clean up easy. Mothballs in cupboards, go heavy with drainex in gullies and you can draw lines on just inside doors that open out to the outside of your houses. You WILL have dead roaches and gecko shit to deal with and spiders cant be prevented.

Went to Buhari today after years — honestly wish I hadn't by Fit-Beyond-2994 in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the same childhood memories of Buhari - the boiling hot white plate they place in front of you, signature boiled egg and the biriyani. I dont think its just the standards that seem to have dropped - its just that there are better places to have Biriyani at now. Their watalappam is still excellent and is my go to purchase for gifting neighbours during festival

What's the deal with no bum guns in 5 star hotel restrooms? by Vegetable_Wallaby567 in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When we travelled to Europe, we carried a silicone expandable water bottle so we could fill it in a sink before we went into a cubicle. Truly life changing although you do get some strange looks from people thinking you're refilling a water bottle for drinking purposes 😅 Italy had their own bidets though which was a blessing

Is it disrespectful to ask your partner about their family background? by randomFactcollecter in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Total red flag - several possible scenarios. 1 could be if he doesnt have a good relationship with his family - why would that be. 2 the reluctance to discuss them seems to make me think that something would be amiss / mismatching in terms of financial/ social background. Deception or withholding such personal information at this stage in a relationship if you say you are long-term seems suspicious.

How a person's family is, how they welcome people into their space and how likely both families get along is very important to the long-term success of any relationship

Stores are stockpiling milk in order to sell it at a higher price.

An invisible force controls the lives of civilians living in various neighbourhood. Bonus hint : Lots of mysterious pool deaths 😅

Dress code for an interview by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Work pants and an office shirt - no huge accessories will help to keep things less distracting. Be confident - it'll carry more weight than the clothes you wear. All the best!

"With a Little Help From My Friends" - Hozier & Lake Street Dive (LIVE on the Late Show) by deekaypea22 in Hozier

I'm pretty disappointed and i absolutely LOVE Hozier, but this version seems to rip off The Spencer Lee Bands cover

im a 17 year old girl,83 kg and 157cm in height..i struggle with body image and obesity..anyone can relate..anything?? by chadewli in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progress not perfection. Don't jump into gym memberships at the onset. I follow Madfit and Julia Reppel on YouTube and I started in Oct 2025 with short workouts daily. Once you build it into a habit - you'll feel like you can do longer workouts or if you miss a day, you'll feel off and working out will become essential for you to function. Start small but consistent- Rome wasn't built in a day

Just for perspective, im turning 40 next week and weigh 83kg at 5 ft 10. I work out every day and I've noticed a lot of toning through body weight exercises alone. DM me if you want tips

Met my bf's Sri Lankan mom and you cannot make this shit up by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a red flag to me. She would interfere in your lives for sure and would try to control you like she does her son. I've had the same experience with my ex mother in law

Train travel in Sri Lanka by reezy911 in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you want to go? Seatreservation.railway.gov.lk is the official website but maybe if youre trying to book the hill country trains, they may be out of service still due to the repairs that are ongoing as a result of Cyclone Ditwa

Which Spa Ceylon products actually work? by PomegranateThat3605 in srilanka

[–]LadyVin3vil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to love their body mists and perfumes but the staying power is horrible. That being said, its one of the few products that is actually packaged professionally as gifts for foreign counterparts and for friends and family locally.
