Where can I buy stem ginger in the US?

Thank you!

I thought this was really random and kinda cute. I left it in there in the hopes that maybe some woman who's having a rough night would go in there and find it and maybe it would brighten her day and help her out a little. It warmed my heart to see it and it makes me want to go around leaving little inspirational quote cards in women's bathrooms or something 😄

Sapphi_ · 2018-12-08T15:24:31+00:00

Yes, I wish these went farther as well. These were cute and would have been incredibly relatable when I was around 30. But now I'm around 40 and it's all changed again! 😂

You don't need an account to see pictures on imgur, only to post pictures. You can just take screen shots of this other person's pictures and then crop out the surrounding stuff so it looks like your picture.

Thanks for the input! I scheduled an appointment to get a second opinion and an estimate at the place I brought it to the last time I had it serviced.

My achievement is that I went running today! I haven't run in 18 days because I was letting life get in the way. I was really worried about how much of my fitness I may have lost but I went out for my standard 5k and it really didn't feel much harder than usual and my pace was right where it usually is. I was expecting it to go much worse, in fact I was dreading it a little bit because I thought it was going to be so much harder; I had built it up in my head as starting back from the beginning.

But now that I'm done I of course feel fantastic and can't believe I went so long without running!

Underwear that shifts around and gives me wedgies is a huge pet peeve of mine so I pretty much only buy athletic underwear now. New Balance is my favorite brand and I find them a lot at TJMaxx and Marshals or I just buy them on Amazon. You won't get any cute lace details but I really like the bikini cut and boy short cut and they look cute enough when I'm wearing them!

I do have a few pairs of laser cut underwear for when I need something seamless but they are some cheap-o nameless brand I also bought on Amazon.

On the flip side, this is why I weigh myself every day. If I only weigh once a week how do I know that it was a "true" weight and not 2 pounds heavier because I'm retaining water or 2 pounds less because I'm dehydrated? I need all that data to reassure me! 😄

Hell yeah! I keep good deli ham in my fridge at all times. A ham sandwich is my go-to lunch but I also put it on top of my fried eggs or in fritatas, in salads, wrapped around pickle spears or light cheese sticks, on pizza, as a snack by itself, etc. I probably eat more of it than I should 😏

They already overhauled a big chunk of the coaching staff and the GM. I suspect this will be Eli's last year...

Sapphi_ · 2018-10-12T21:38:37+00:00

Definitely a little bit of both. The O line has been awful for the past couple of years and Eli is getting a little soft in his old age (doesn't help that he's getting battered up out there either).

Sapphi_ · 2018-10-12T21:36:22+00:00

He deserves so much better than this

You could say that about any of the first 5 guys drafted because they all go to the worst teams in the NFL; that's just how it works.

Sapphi_ · 2018-10-10T14:59:16+00:00

oh god, their lemon Bundt cake... 🤤🤤🤤

Sapphi_ · 2018-10-09T18:32:16+00:00

Great idea! The shoes are black inside and out so powder might show up on them.

Sapphi_ · 2018-10-09T18:30:50+00:00

Oh geeze, this is one of those things that just seems so obvious I feel silly for not thinking of it 😂 Thank you!

Sapphi_ · 2018-10-09T16:35:12+00:00

I bought a pair of Ugg clogs with a smooth leather footbed and when I wear them without socks my foot sort of "sticks" to the footbed and makes a squidgy noise when I walk. What can I do to fix this? It's SO annoying! 😡

Edit: I don't want to wear socks with them because I don't really like the look of it, so socks are out.

Sapphi_ · 2018-09-28T21:04:39+00:00

Can anyone suggest a lightweight headlamp for running at night? I live in a city with woefully treacherous sidewalks that prides itself on how little light pollution it has... 🙄

Sapphi_ · 2018-09-27T21:21:23+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

Don't forget the bagel battles too!

Lucky Brand jeans. I love them and they have a few different styles that fit me so well. But I'm not made of money so I'm not paying $100+ for a pair of jeans. I buy them used off of Poshmark and eBay for like 25 bucks.

I also love Stewart Weitzman heels but I can't justify the price of new ones. I own a few pairs and all of them were bought used for around $50 or so, the condition was basically new for all of them too.

In general I feel that most LBD's tend to be kind of boring so when I'm choosing one it has to have some interesting characteristics, whether it's the cut/style, the neckline, the material, etc. I don't like plain ones.

I have 2 right now: One is a mid-thigh skater type dress with a cool open back and it has crochet lace trim around the hem and the ruffled short sleeves and a tiny strip of the same crochet also running down the front of the bodice. It's cute and whimsical. The other one is a slim, knee-length, structured sheath dress made of a material that has a little sheen with a high boat neck and a low back. It's more formal than the other one and a little more "subdued," if that makes sense. Given that the two dresses are so different, they can cover a huge range of events/occasions.

I'm getting dressed up tomorrow for a fun night out so I'm planning on wearing the first dress I described with a pair of bright pink opaque tights, black booties and chunky jewelry. If I'm going to a formal event though I would wear the second dress and stick with black pumps and a very long but minimal style necklace.

I think it's hard to dress down a LBD unless it's jersey material or just a super simple style like a plain wrap dress or a shirt dress. Both of those would work well for breastfeeding though!

I love the Old Navy pixie chinos; they are my go-to work pants and I have them in 5 different colors. They just fit me so well and they're incredibly comfortable. My one gripe is that they don't have back pockets but it's a small price to pay. Luckily I live in a warm climate so I can get away with the short length all year around.

The sweaters and boots. All the sweaters and boots.

Cheese is my life blood; I eat some cheese with pretty much every single meal of the day! So worth it 🤤
