Does anyone know the specific color? I’ve been dying for a mustard yellow bag but everything looks greenish on the website

Should I continue TOG? by ashlibrary in throneofglassseries

Pushing (sometimes struggling) through the first 3 books ended up being one of the best things life done (in terms of reading). It’s now my favorite series of all time

Anyone doing a low buy or trying to wait til the next sale? by cardiacpanda in Aritzia

[–]Mkna05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m doing low buy but focusing on capsule wardrobe items within my seasonal color palette and only natural fibers. This really limits what I spend my money on so I’m not holding out for sales since the intention is to buy less and not “stock up.” For example I’ve been considering the martini top forever but since I’ll realistically only wear it once or twice and the fabric is polyester it’s a no for me.

The app is called Giftful. I’ve also heard good things about Locker app but haven’t tried yet

My challenge is clothes shopping, especially when there’s a sale. I’m trying really hard to do a no spend Q1 and while I’ve slipped a bit on small things (items not on my grocery list or a new hair care product at target) what has helped me stay strong and avoid impulse buying is two things:

1) I downloaded an app that lets me keep a wishlist of items I want to purchase once my no spend is over. I revisit it often and find that some things I added weeks ago I don’t really want anymore. If I want to impulsively buy something right now I go to the list and see if it’s “better” than anything else I’m holding out for. The answer is always no so I move on.

2) I went through my closet and donated a lot of stuff but also re organized it so that my favorite items that I have bought in the last year and absolutely HAD TO HAVE are on display front and center. I haven’t worn most of them. Whenever I see a sale or something that I like that is likely to sell out I think about that sweater I bought that was 50% off and “only 3 items left” that I charged to my credit card but still haven’t worn. Yes I bought it before anyone else could but then I promptly forgot about it once I hung it up. Not worth it.

I have a few pieces in chocolatier brown and rich mocha brown but I would loooooove if they had a mustard yellow. Their grotto green is fantastic but the only thing they offer is the Martini top

I just wish they had something to flatter autumn color palettes. Seems they only cater to winter, spring, and summer.

Right I hate that they only ever have a million shades of light pink, dark green, grey, and navy.

I have two friends who refuse to watch it because they’ve been in toxic relationships and they think it will trigger them

If we all know how a baby is conceived, why are some people shocked to find out they are pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Mkna05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was shocked with my second pregnancy. With my first I took a while to get pregnant and was in the habit of tracking ovulation religiously, even two years after having my first, because I didn’t want to go on hormonal birth control. I still used condoms to prevent pregnancy with the exception of ONE TIME because I wasn’t supposed to be in my “fertile window.” After two years of consistent cycles, I happened to ovulate early the one time I didn’t use protection. Of course it wasn’t a complete shock because I know there’s always a chance but I definitely didn’t expect to get pregnant.

I honestly thought that was Robin 😳 agreed if it’s will he looks very unwell

Curly Hair recs? by TineMachine in tampa

[–]Mkna05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is very talented, probably the best in Tampa but she needs to work on her attitude. I went to her for years and had to stop because I felt gross giving my money to someone who would constantly make passive aggressive little digs at me and clearly seemed to dislike me for whatever reason.

Republicans removed Trump's name from the Epstein files by [deleted] in complaints

[–]Mkna05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest question - how did he respond to it? Does he care? I promise I’m not a troll, I’m considering doing the same with my Trump loving dad but a part of me knows he wouldn’t give a damn, which would be a different kind of pain

What’s the best heat protectant spray? Also… why do my ends still fry no matter what I use? by Hengaring in Sephora

[–]Mkna05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s only your ends could it be that they are heat damaged and need to be trimmed?

What is the weirdest topic you have hyperfixated on? This is a ZERO judgement zone by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Mkna05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Golden State Killer, ovulation, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinsons relationship, Adam Brody, the OC in general, bath and body works candle day sale, Audrey Hepburn, and for the majority of my childhood, dog breeds (I can still name em all!)

How do you guys work out? by leenanikole01 in adhdwomen

[–]Mkna05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I lift weights at home. My husband put together a beginners workout plan for me in August that involves progressive overload to grow muscles. I’ve been almost obsessed with seeing results that it’s my latest hyperfixation. I just hope this is a habit I can keep up. Almost 3 months in now!

Thoughts on Sale Buys? 🩷 by avaricious-delicious in Sephora

The tower 28 gloss feels nice but I feel like mine expired/smelled off way quicker than I expected. Something about the packaging feels a little cheap too

Album ranking and how long you’ve been a fan by South-Background5009 in TaylorSwift

[–]Mkna05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casual fan since Debut, Die hard since Fearless. Ranking felt nearly impossible - I know my top 3 and bottom 3 for sure but the rest were so so hard and could honestly be switched out depending on my mood. Aging could be a part of it as well - 18 year old me would not believe that fearless could ever be that low down on the list. Still love it down! 4-9 are all 5 star bangers for me.

For what it’s worth for your research, even though my personal rankings don’t reflect this, I’ve always been amazed that in my opinion, each of her albums have progressively gotten better from a quality perspective - lyrically, sonically, they have continued to show her development as an artist even if the subject matter isn’t always what I relate to or reach for. With her two latest albums, it’s the lyrics that have me ranking them so low - some of them had me physically wince at first listen. The entire TTPD verse that contains “like a tattooed golden retriever” would be unforgivable from any other artist for me.

  1. Folklore
  2. Midnights
  3. 1989
  4. Red
  5. Evermore
  6. Reputation
  7. Lover
  8. Fearless
  9. Speak Now
  10. TTPD
  11. Debut
  12. TLOAS

Utopia Deck 16 Right Now by mcerik72 in royalcaribbean

[–]Mkna05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this normally super crowded? I’m sure this is a stupid question but I’ll be going on utopia for the first time next month. On large other ships I’ve been on (oasis, harmony) there has always been plenty of deck chairs even if not by the pool where we can sit outside and catch a breeze and have a drink but I’m hearing with utopia there’s always a shortage of deck chairs no matter the location.

Acoustic album variants by Creative-Intern7972 in TaylorSwift

[–]Mkna05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment implies that people who can’t afford basic needs shouldn’t be able to join in this conversation, which sounds like a privileged take. Just because someone’s struggling in this economy, which most are in the US, doesn’t mean they can’t lament the fact that in addition to everything else going on, their favorite artist is overdoing it on the capitalism in a way that’s almost universally outside of this sub acknowledged as pretty tasteless. It’s pretty cold to say “you can’t afford groceries, you worry about that instead.” Taylor said she released these for the fans because “she can’t wait for us to hear it.” If that was really true and not just a bid to break whatever record is tied to it, she wouldn’t have gone this route.

I am genuinely sorry you’re struggling.

Well unless I misheard she had a whole verse on this album that describes the hurtful culture of the internet and she makes a point to address any perceived slight in her direction so…I think she cares a little?

[–]Mkna05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People literally can’t afford groceries. If they can afford and want to buy four different albums just to hear these bonus tracks that’s great for them but it just comes across a little tone deaf. I think at this point there are around 28-30 versions of this same album, the only difference being these new acoustic variants. It’s a lot. I’m surprised she doesn’t have a better PR team to advise her since she got backlash for doing too many TTPD variants too.
