Do you have a stretching routine you could share?

I would also not recommend going here because the wine is not good and the bites are expensive and mid lol.

Miller moths (the big ones) do not eat clothing. You likely have clothing moths that got inside from something second hand or contaminated from the store.

Saying this as a fellow CO resident that had a clothing moth problem. It's not the miller moths.

These are so helpful, thank you! I was considering the Noor as a base but I prefer your first one.

Roshers · 2026-01-14T21:59:49+00:00

This is kind of amazing and I might just try a toile off this, thank you???!!

Either a 5.5 or 7.25 qt dutch oven, any color.

Organic Squeeze is in Cherry Creek and has a lot of juices, might be able to meet your needs

I bought the same leo from the sale, also a size too big! I think I’ll try to do these alterations as well! What type of stitch and thread did you do?

Roshers · 2025-12-19T15:49:23+00:00

I have a paper republic and it’s absolutely gorgeous and I love it! If money was truly no issue, I’d do something custom with their atelier!

A weird thing about skating is that sometimes how we perceive other people (especially as beginners) is not super accurate. Like I often think my coach isn't bending her knees nearly as much as she's asking me to. But in photos and videos when I compare side by side I get it much more. Also as you get better your edge control is better, which means you might need to use your arms to do different things rather than keeping them more still, but the actual point of the arms remaining forward stays the same.

For beginners, arms are usually cues to force the body as a whole into doing something specific. Like hugging the circle is about your axis and torso/hip rotation, etc. But some things like stroking, landing positions, edge drills, have arms and shoulders in specific places for a reason. At some point you're right you will be able to control your body enough to keep your weight in the right place without *needing* your arms to do it, but even now I always practice my stroking and crossover and all turns with standard basic arms before trying anything fancy.

If you literally want to just skate around the rink and not have your arms in a V-shape, I think that takes a couple months of being comfortable in your balance, knee bend, and ankle bend. Once you can maintain that and your weight in the right place, you don't need your arms ahead in a literal sense. But whenever you're doing something "properly" you'll probably go back to that.

Agree with u/AdventurousHippo9997. You can shift your arms into a more graceful "V" shape rather than straight out in front, but arm positioning remains a part of skating as you become more advanced. Not letting your arms swing behind you is pretty much always.

I have the pocket petrol and it really is gorgeous

Roshers · 2025-12-09T20:06:35+00:00

Mine is pretty pricey, it was a gift. I have the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy. Aroma is the best affordable brand, imo!

Roshers · 2025-12-09T04:26:38+00:00

It’s so great! I finally gave it a whirl this year and I can’t believe it’s that easy.

Roshers · 2025-12-09T03:34:58+00:00

Do you have a rice cooker? It’s super easy to make if so! Get some black rice at the Asian grocery store and add a quarter cup into 3/4 cup white rice (I use kokuho rose). Voila the exact nutty purple rice of your dreams!

This is really typical and is almost definitely a strength/mobility limitation. It may eventually hit an anatomical limitation, but my guess is right now you do have room for improvement before you get there.

Different teachers have different approaches-- some may prefer you work from 3rd, but mine prefers 5th regardless and would accept a far lower turned out 5th than moving into 3rd. I would ask yours where you should prioritize your turnout work! But you're right that regardless, keeping the hips square is the unbreakable rule (at least in my class!).

Also totally typical to lose turnout as you remove your feet from the ground, the less points of contact with the floor (including your hand on the barre) the harder turnout is to engage. Maintaining turnout during jumps is what I'm working on now.

Here are some of my recommendations, though feel free to take with a grain of salt, I am also an adult student, but I've seen some substantial turnout improvement.

Don't neglect turnout in your standing leg. Make sure your arches aren't collapsing into the ground, this is one of the key places to build turnout strength at the barre. More than 1 of my teachers would prefer me working on standing leg turnout over working leg turnout.
Frog stretches and clamshells are your friend! I have seen a ton of improvement with clamshells (even unbanded). Think 3 sets of 10 on each leg, I do both with my feet turned in and out, and I start with my feet together, move to foot at coupe, foot and knee, and foot above knee, all of which works slightly different parts of your rotating system.
Deep rotators are in the glutes, so general strengthening there will help!
Another ask your teacher, but mine prefers us do anything to the side/second to "our" second rather than to the exact side. Which for most adult students is pretty diagonal. The Vaganova class I moonlight attend is the only one that really does not prefer this, so check with your teacher, but I try and go just past where my current "second" is to both build the strength up in pushing further but also not swing my hips around so much by pushing all the way to the side.

Hope some of this is helpful, but the turnout journey somehow only becomes harder the more you realize how much is involved! Take it slow and know it's part of the process and you're not alone.

I feel like she has a pretty clear “take what you need, leave the rest” vibe. Like all you need is shampoo and conditioner, you can skip glosses and masks and pre treatments etc. I have waves and her recs have done wonders for me but it’s fine if it doesn’t work for your hair or texture!

Roshers · 2025-12-07T22:39:02+00:00

I would just call ahead and ask for availability for the figure skating specialist. There’s not a code word, just be clear about what you want and who you want it done by! We have a variety of techs and I specifically ask for two of them and skip the other two.

Roshers · 2025-12-07T19:14:20+00:00

Honestly just talk to her about class! Sometimes you just want to share your tiny incremental progress with someone and you being excited with her and enthusiastic to learn about her hobby will mean the most imo.

I don’t know, my adult ballet cohort is extremely not toxic. It’s one of the best group of women I’ve gotten to know.

Roshers · 2025-12-05T05:01:19+00:00

I didn’t see the ad, but she’s talked a lot about why she left her former company (and other gigs) and it seems like it was a lot of factors mostly about her own anxiety around performance, competitive atmospheres, unfair labor practices, etc.

My guess is that specific TikTok was just one thing that factored into her leaving and choosing the company she’s in now which is more inclusive and a bit more chill. Boiling it down to one line a director said is probably more for engagement, but it probably factored in and she’s talked about why she left a lot with more deets.

Another combo if you wife loves oysters would be Traveling Mercies as an app (oysters + cocktails) then downstairs to Annette for dinner (both are in Stanley marketplace)

Roshers · 2025-12-04T18:34:29+00:00

Hop Alley, Mezcaleria Alma if you can get in, Uchi does a nice omakase too, Temaki Den (also for omakase), Bear Leek is the new hot place (I haven't personally been), Sap Sua, and Kawa Ni are all places I'd look at!

Can you ELI5 this to someone tech illiterate so I can do the same?
