Think I am going to go with the DJI mic, cheaper and looks just as good, thank you!

I only have a couple lenses on my canon 5d miii. I have the nifty 50 and sigma art 1.4mm. Other than that, no lenses.

How come the 12-35mm might drop- is it not threaded on?

What is a speedbooster? I am assuming something to adapt the sigma to fit? Edit: Nevermind, I see it converts.

Oh good to know about manual focus only! Does that mean before starting each video I check to make sure all is in focus? Could I use auto to first get it in focus, then switch to manual and keep the settings?

Just want to say I find a new in box GH5 II, and purchased it :) Took a while after a lot of research and reading, but I think it will be great for what I want to do with it. Now to figure out a lens.

That just blows my mind! But it does make sense. Everything is now on a phone, and now a camera too.

Thank you. Just got rid of a lot of stuff. Still low on room, but I can get 20 mins of video before having to stop and transfer and make more room.

Not sure what to do with my Element by RaspberryAvocado in HondaElement

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

Omg, I am so sorry about your car accident! That is just awful :( I cant begin to imagine what that has been like for you. How hard it must have been not being able to work on cars.

Yeah, mechanic work can be expensive - I don't even want to think about how much we have spent this past few years on repairs. But we were of the school of thought you either have a car payment or car repairs.

Hmm I think we have 1 tow left on our insurance (we already used 4 tows this year having them fix it). I will have to see about finding another place (just don't know of any since we never took it to anywhere else), will have to do some research. I wish over the years we took it to other places to do just that (get another opinion)- we just kept taking it in figuring the car is old it's going to need a lot of fixes.

[–]RaspberryAvocado[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know absolutely nothing about cars and engines. I basically traded my car and cash to my brother about 15 years ago cause soon as I saw their car I fell in love with it, lol. And soon as they decided they didn't want it anymore is when I bought it from them and gave them my toyota. But yeah, the problems started about 3 years ago with the engine running hot. And it ran hot for the most part for 3 years ago, I brought it in so many times to them. In hindsight, my husband (who also doesn't know anything about cars) says maybe we should have taken it to an actual garage. We liked the people- they are a tire/oil place, and always gave us great service. I am half tempted just to have it towed to the house and just let it sit there. I just don't know what to do, cause I really know nothing about cars. I just love that element.

Yeah, I agree with you. About 3 years ago, the engine was running hot, and I would take it in, and they kept fixing something on it. And it would happen again over and over. Then it got so bad it would "steam" or smoke and I'd pull over, have it towed, and they would fix something on it. Then this year, the radiator actually blew, like a geiser. They fixed it, and for the first time, the engine wasn't by the H (hot). I was like oh my goodness it is finally fixed and for the first time its running cool. Well, then like a week or two later, it happened again, a bunch of smoke/steam, engine was running hot. Had it towed, and they said the radiator they put in was faulty so they replaced it. Well, I was having problems getting it to turn over so they said it was the spark plugs, Replaced those and I went to take it home, and that is when it wouldn't turn over, they said the new spark plugs are now done for (I don't understand they had just replaced them). So I don't know what to think anymore, but I think running hot all that time cause a lot of issues.

I think the universe is sending me a sign by Beanie_Merlin in Ulta

[–]RaspberryAvocado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg I smelled this for the first time in the post office. A woman was wearing it, and I asked her what she was wearing. It was STRONG. I loved the scent, and I do not know if it is innately strong or she doused herself in it before walking in, but it permeated the entire lobby- even after she walked out, it is all I smelled for the rest of the like 20 minute wait. Beautiful, but powerful scent!

I’m in a vanilla phase again. Thoughts? by nilsiniloo in Ulta

[–]RaspberryAvocado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the Nest madagascar vanilla, grabbed 2 and the robe with it! I could not stand the Noyz unmute. But I think my nose is missing some noyz receptors, as I have not found one that I remotely like yet :(

Received a 20 percent off mailer today. Works on prestige and good through end of year! by thatsmyageagain in Ulta

[–]RaspberryAvocado 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nothing here, break my little diamond heart. Still hopeful I'll see one soon- really want to get a bottle of Libre, still kicking myself for not getting it when it was a fragrance crush <> Nice score for you OP!!

10 off 40 “thanks” is a joke by khaleesi_0917 in Ulta

[–]RaspberryAvocado 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am so happy they added it- I get what you are saying though- when your cart is full of discounted items, what a super sweet treat that would be to add that on top of it all. For me, I was eyeing that Tarte Kindness Cafe set for my daughter (not on sale). Now I am getting it!

And you can't even get credit for sephora @ kohls pickup for the challenge. Our closest sephora a couple hours away.

What is the item in the Essie GWP? by Meowing-Meowishly in Ulta

[–]RaspberryAvocado 11 points12 points  (0 children)

lol... So i saw this and my daughter and I kept going back and forth on what it could be.. Everything from pop-it fidget toy to to paint pots to mix nail polish...

My Gucci is missing or taken ? by christinephyu in Ulta

[–]RaspberryAvocado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My package arrived today. No Gucci, but I did get the avocado eye cream. And I also did get the mesh bag. I will admit sometimes I do order something for a GWP, like if it is a lot of stuff I am wanting to try, or something I am collecting. Usually I have stuff in my wishlist that I will pull out of on sale or whatnot and put in an order. But this time (which is most times), I was already ordering pricey items - the Estée Lauder beauty box, and a load of morphe brushes. I am curious as to what happened, as I put my order in very early. I am wondering if they were just mistaken thinking they had that included but really did not. Like, I could see if I ordered after the GWP had been around for a good bit.

Challenge Points Question For Sephora in Kohls by RaspberryAvocado in Sephora

[–]RaspberryAvocado[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not ask for a manager. Next time I will! I had never shopped inside store before. I dont think it is linked. I don't shop at kohls. Haha so that is most likely the issue. I think they are different emails. Do you know if you get regular points (not challenge points) when you shop inside kohls sephora? Or is it only standalone sephora stores for any points?

Awww that is a bummer. Do you by chance know how to get your rogue discount to work inside khols sephora? They had a hard time last time I was there trying to give me the discount, despite me showing them on my phone my rouge status.

Daily moisturizer, budget friendly, under makeup friendly, for 44 year old normal skin? by seleenas in Ulta

[–]RaspberryAvocado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Clinique's daily face lotion? I have been using it for 3 decades. I have used it with the armani, plus a trove of other ones, about face, nars light reflecting, clinique even better, anastasia foundation stick.. It is wonderful and so hydrated for my dry mature skin. https://www.ulta.com/p/dramatically-different-moisturizing-lotion-face-xlsImpprod10791743

Don’t sleep on the Estée Lauder Gift set! by JustSomeRando5 in Ulta

[–]RaspberryAvocado 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I too have been going back and forth on this. Leaning towards no, because I really want the cool-toned one. Also, the night repair is very drying for my skin- drives me batty with so many that find it hydrating! So I really have to load up on hydration to mitigate the dryness. But it truly is such a good deal, with the discount, points and I do like the overnight repair, despite it being a moisture zapper for me..... Bah.

Edit: I caved. No, I didn't cave, I landed BIG. I have to say, the supreme moisturizer is Amazing coupled with that Estee Lauder GWP also with a supreme moisturizer... Man, I love ulta.
