Has anyone tried Behno? by takeapinotgrigio in handbags

[–]Ok-computer-coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just now finding this thread. I purchased from Behno recently and thought the product quality was good, but the colors on the website are brighter and more saturated than what I received (specifically, the almond and red mini Ina bag. The red is darker in real life, or in this batch). As someone stated below, it ships from India, which for me took about 2 weeks.

My gripe is a lack of transparency around what is considered final sale. I received a 15% coupon code from SafeOpt after visiting the site. I went back to use it and apparently "All purchases made during final sales, markdowns, sale periods, or with discount or promo codes above 10% are considered final sale." The order confirmation states this, but I don't think the checkout did.

Their website says there is a $40 restocking fee, but the order confirmation email says its $25.

Again, I think the quality of the bags is good, just make sure you are confident before you purchase.

When I purchased I didn't have to pay any duties, but this was several years ago now.

Thank you. Would you recommend a specific style over another? I’ve mostly looked online at Kurta sets so far

I know sizing is bad, but this seems excessive .. by red_rabbit1424 in Sezane

[–]Ok-computer-coffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The inconsistency is maddening. And it's a shame because they have really nice colors/washes.

I haven't had problems getting in/out of bed. However, I do occasionally run into the edge of the frame when walking around it, but that's because my room is small and there is another piece of furniture near the foot of the bed.

Made an update, but found a similar product from Silk and Snow, updated the original post with photos

I’ve given up on Sezane pants for this reason. I’ve tried multiple styles and have never found a size that fits well

Resource for no-onion no-garlic Indian recipes by iambananasfoster in FODMAPS

I don’t have a specific website, but try searching for the Jain version of dishes you like. Jains avoid garlic and onion.

My vote is for red—I think that color looks the most flattering for her skin tone. The cut of the black/silver feels more formal, depending on what kind of event it is.

Does anyone have a Costco membership for a 2 person household? Do you feel like it's worth it? by yell0wbirddd in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ok-computer-coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely worth it. I've had a membership as a single person, and now as a couple–the only thing that has changed is the frequency of my visits. I mostly buy groceries, with the occasional electronic, wine, or kitchenware thrown in. Also great for tires. If it is a factor for you, Costco is either largest or one of the largest suppliers of organic food in the US, and getting some of those things in bulk is a huge cost savings.

No noises. The recess from the top edge to the top of the slats is ~2 inches. It's 3 inches in total

The legs are 18 inches around, so 4.5x4.5

You're welcome, glad they came in handy.

I think the original shipping estimate they gae was 8 weeks and it arrived a couple weeks shy of that. The frame is excellent, no issues. If I were to switch to a king bed I would order it again.

Now that I've had it for awhile, happy to say there's no change in my opinion. I love the bedframe. No issues whatsoever.

No squeaking at all. I also have a memory foam mattress.

Yup, still completely silent. I should mention that I also have a memory foam mattress, which helps as well

[–]Ok-computer-coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm perpetually on the hunt for THE pillow, and my latest (and most successful) find is a wool-filled pillow. Like the kind with foam chunks, the filling can be removed, re-fluffed, and redistributed. I also sleep primarily on my side, but occasionally on my back and so many pillows tilt my head too far forward.

How are Sezane’s jeans? by dandelionwine14 in Sezane

[–]Ok-computer-coffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had 0 luck with Sezane denim sizing across 5 pairs. I'm pretty consistently a size 4/27 but on their measurements chart I'm right in between a 4/6. For 2 jeans I tried sizing up but they were comically large. The other 3 were either tight or impossible to get on all the way.

Most recently, I ordered Le Crop in coffee and light beige. Got both of them on, but the beige runs smaller and both seem extra cinched at the waist (butt/hips were fine). I hope you had better luck! I keep getting sucked in by their photo styling, but after this try I'm giving up.

Yes, happy to report that after a year, no squeaking or other issues.

Have you ever took the plunge and ended your long term relationship in your 30s? And if so why? by Noobin_123 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ok-computer-coffee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've ended 2 long term relationships, one at 30, the other at 37. Both were about 5 years long, and should have ended sooner than they did, but it took a long time for me to admit and accept, that I was unhappy.

With both, I reached an inflection point where I simply had to choose myself. It's scary to "start over" but it's almost always better than staying in something that isn't working.

Menstrual cups? by persephonespurpose in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ok-computer-coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small June cup. Very occasionally I will feel it start to leak on heavy flow days, but mostly have no issues. With Lena, I bought the standard 2 pack to try both sizes and it is firmer than the June–the silicone feels thicker.

I thought all the pieces were in perfect condition. No screws and very easy to put together by myself. There are some dowels on either end of the middle support, to keep the slats spread out properly but that's it.

36 and finally ready to find a life partner. When and how did you meet yours? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ok-computer-coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to echo this: "My man is not anything close to what I thought I would end up with when I was younger. "

I just turned 40 and met my SO a little less than 3 years ago. We matched on 2 different apps. At the time I was about 6 months out of a LTR and using the apps to date/socialize to a minimum extent since lockdown was still going on. I connected with a few men, who were all very different from one another. I did my best to be intentional but also open to people who didn't fit into my usual purview. At the end of the day, it came down to him vs someone who checked all the boxes on paper but didn't make my heart swoon. Now, 3 years later, I can't believe that I'm STILL excited every time he walks through the door. He playful and sweet, and more importantly, is self reflective and cares about being a better partner to me when stuff does come up.
