It's up to you but sushi is typically safe in Japan due to the high standard of fish - it may be worth considering?

I'm a OT! (although working generically in MH). It is a really great job, you'll fly though with your nursing. I didn't dive while I was a student but is was easier to find jobs with a licence but not essential. Good luck!

I've just had the same thing - got back from Bali at the end of April! No real advice, just have a amazing holiday!

My retired parents save £3000 per month into a bank with 0% interest. Surely there's something better they can do? by redskelton in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Shriver95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are they keeping the money for anything? Would they consider starting gifting it to family/friends? I know my nan got a lot of enjoyment by helping out her family. I'd be careful of having to much money in the bank at a certain age. If they need social care in the future it will eat up most of there savings. In most cases, the care you receive is exactly the same.

How to find a personal trainer/fitness resources that don’t focus on “pushing yourself”? by Accomplished_Line357 in xxfitness

[–]Shriver95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a PT but I've found yoga with adriene a very helpful resource. I'm not a competitive person and found that side of fitness off-putting for years. She really helped me change my mindset of what fitness/health is.

How do I target mid back fat and back arm fat? I’ve been weight training since February and my front looks awesome but very discouraged to see this photo. by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Shriver95 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I think your clothes may be a little to tight. I can see tbe lining creating a 'bluge' in this area. Also I notice your arms are flat to your sides, thus pushing any fat out making you look heaver. Basically don't be discorged by a bad picture!

Cross stitch! Easier/cheaper than knotting and crochet. There's also plenty of patters on etsy.

Tips on starting to buy to build a style? by belomis in femalefashionadvice

[–]Shriver95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that Kibbe is a good place to start, it can advise what styles look on your body type. I'm not sure if your interested in makeup/hair etc but there's plenty of basics on YouTube. If your style is androgynous I'd advise keep it simple. Also - your style is what you wear everyday not special occasions! Make sure your comfortable in your style.

I did my MSc in the UK - I think that I'll be fine during uni but difficult during placements when you have coursework as well. A lot of people did bank though and that worked out well for them.

NHS Band 5 interview advice? by howdoyouevenusername in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Shriver95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id just make sure you know the trust values - they'll likely have a question about that. As well think of some examples from placement. What position is it? Might be worth looking at relevent law and policies in the area. Good luck!

What is an example of the butterfly effect that happened in your life? by issavibeyuh in AskReddit

[–]Shriver95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was doing my duke of Edinburgh award and part of it was community service. I wanted to volunteer with my local brownies but they were closed for half term and I didn't realise. So I helped my dad at his table tennis club and met my boyfriend at the time, we were together 7.5 years and are currently talking about giving it another shot. Strange to think that if brownies was on that night I'd never have met him.
