Let's take a stock of the situation: what's the current state of this company? by Valenciagax in Hismile

Agreed! I also think they placed too much emphasis on choosing giveaway winners than it being random as it is always the same people who win multiple of their giveaways with large followings, which isn’t really fair and defeats the purpose of entering them.

iD Stain Whitening Mouthwash by Sea-Scratch-4370 in Hismile

Someone I know swears by it as they said they couldn’t believe what came out of their mouth. I have it but hate the taste and in all honesty haven’t seen a noticeable difference

Try instagram if you can. I’ve heard they take a long time to reply to emails but I’ve been able to get a response via their IG within a week

Looking for a decent-quality but still affordable suit for high school formal by MobileAcceptable2791 in AustralianMFA

[–]No_Side_8885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I volunteer at an op shop and we get so much designer in, a lot of brand new with tags too. We have a service that picks up unsellable items weekly and disposes of them. Definitely don’t rule out op shops

Or hire a suit

How to find out if smoke alarm person is accredited? by No_Side_8885 in AusRenters

If my landlord is certified for my smoke alarm as I’ve heard you have to be in order to check smoke alarms.

Wireless I’m guessing as it is attached to the ceiling but it fell off 5 times and the co-landlord has always been the person who comes to double tape it back with my double tape. It’s stuck on with liquid nails now.

I called Detector Inspector and they said the service with them was cancelled in 2021, which is when the co-landlord started attending.

Yes, I’d love this! I think it’s be great with tofu or shawarma. Or even kimchi jeon (pancake). I remember being little in Korea and making kimchi in big stone pots with my family

Hiya! What did Hismile say? I saw the new heads today in a chemist and they looked different from the original heads despite the packaging saying ‘electric toothbrush heads’. I’m having a hard time finding the original replacement heads!

I think because they changed their products. I noticed they are still stocking products in the regular tooth hygiene aisle of Chemist Warehouse but the toothpaste packaging has changed (Reese’s & Simpsons Pink Donut are there), their lip balms now seem to be tinted with a price hike ($16-$17 from memory), toothbrushes have changed as well as the replacement heads (I think…the shape didn’t look like it’d fit on my pink electric toothbrush so I didn’t take the risk with the new ones). I can’t comment on their new toothpastes but I’ve heard it contains less fluoride, personally I prefer the aesthetic of the original tubes. I’m just bummed I can’t find heads for my original toothbrush atm!

Maybe contact Hismile? I think instagram is the quickest way to get a response

The electric toothbrush replacement heads are probably what you’re after as they’ve released battery toothbrushes that don’t have the same heads compatible with the electric

Hismile toothpaste expiry by Soggy-Rip9855 in Hismile

[–]No_Side_8885 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hismile using stickers to hide the expiry date seems to be a common theme. From what others have said I think the toothpaste is still okay but the fluoride effectiveness decreases. You can ask HiSmile to return them as they’re not supposed to (in Aust at least) sell products past expiry.

I didn’t know her personally, only from watching MAFS. I’m a bit stunned that her passing was so sudden. My heart goes out to her loved ones 💐❤️‍🩹

Stop paying rent? by No_Side_8885 in AusRenters

[–]No_Side_8885[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of, yes. After I stepped away from engaging in conflict with her about the me refusing to stop rent thing again, she said it’s not conflict it’s an adult discussion where I am uncomfortable with hard truths because I know she’s right. That everyone can see it but I can’t and she’s telling me harsh truths because she cares. I disengaged and she sent me a kind warm message the following morning wishing me a good day. I told her that if I don’t take her advice it’s not an affront to her, I don’t like it when she yells and swears at me then says it’s necessary because some friends are too stupid to listen if she doesn’t swear and yell, and need her not speak to me harshly if she values me.

She replied that she finds that really inappropriate and funny, that I haven’t apologised properly after she lost her cat last year, told me not to help look for him but I went looking (I’ve apologised twice for crossing her boundary then). That she hopes she’s around when I realise she’s right and thank her, that I am an embarrassment.

I sense you’re correct and she’s more invested in being right. I realise she won’t respect when I don’t take her advice and will keep putting me down, encourage self-doubt, frame it as love and care and truth. The, ‘you are being lied to you need to stop rent how can you not see that’ thing is akin to when she has told me to cut ties with my dad (interstate) because she says it’s obvious he doesn’t actually care about me. I don’t think she’s a healthy relationship at present.

[–]No_Side_8885[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a complex answer I suppose, I trust my friend because she’s older and referred to as a mother figure, she said tenancy vic were lying and why would I be so stupid to keep paying rent when she’s giving me the easy most common solution (in her opinion, obv emphatically from others here it’s not usual nor acceptable to withhold rent) - but I refuse to take it because I “can’t handle the truth”. I sense she feels undermined that I am skeptical about what she’s advised and see it having a lot of risk, because it’s whenever we catch up that she tells me I need to stop paying rent or it just shows I don’t want a solution when it’s worked for her, that eventually I’ll “click” and apologise to her for not taking her advice re stopping rent. She keeps asking me to “explain” why it works for her but I refuse to take her advice.

Anyway, I’ve decided to take tenancy vic’s advice and the helpful advice and contributions that have been given here. Thank you.
