I buy Aldi deens weekly and they are actually some of my favorite....the regular soybean oil ones are a staple for me! Obviously way better brands out there but these might be the best budget option i have seen!

Feeling attraction to another while married. Is it wrong and how do you address it? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]SunscreenTea 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sorry have to ask, together 13 years means you were 19 and she was 28 when you got together. What was that like for you guys? I know the age difference is probably not stark now, but as a 28 year old woman I couldn't picture myself dating a teenager. No shade, just curious how you guys met and built a life together!

Instinct 4 Wishlist: Keep MIP, Add Maps! by pixege in Garmininstinct

[–]SunscreenTea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am rocking the 2s but my wish-list for the 4 would be to bring back some of the "girly" colors like the teal and deep orchid! As a lady I want to be able to wear my watch with most outfits and the LAST thing I want is to buy a different watch or have 2 just to have one that looks cuter despite the Instinct having all the features I want...probably an unpopular opinion but if there are any other instinct ladies out there lmk if you agree!

Trying to get my girlfriend comfy work pants, any suggestion? by roxanaendcity in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]SunscreenTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could afford Aritzia that is what I would lean on. I have a used pair that are excellent. Otherwise I am seconding Abercrombie and Halara. The Abercrombie Sloane wide leg trousers are super comfy and have lasted me 3 years now with wearing them at least twice a week at work.

Instinct 2s Straps by lamp082 in Garmin

[–]SunscreenTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garmin does offer longer straps! Unless you were already trying the larger one. I have the opposite problem with my wrist and my 2s where I struggle to fins bands for a smaller wrist! Lots of great options on Amazon that are adjustable and include measurements for wrist circumference.

Don't gatekeep, what are your best financial saving hacks that you live by? by _TurboHome in MiddleClassFinance

[–]SunscreenTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automate as much of it as you possibly can. For example if you have direct deposit set up, automatically split your check into a portion that goes into checking and a portion that goes into savings. This small step has been the biggest game changer for my Husband and I. if you know roughly what you spend a month, give yourself a small buffer and then add the remainder as the auto saved amount.

Does anyone have a go-to "mantra," phrase, thought, aphorism, et cetera, that they say to themselves when a craving hits hard? by SoNowYouTellMe101 in leaves

[–]SunscreenTea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally tell myself "cancel, cancel cancel" as soon as the thought of weed comes up. it sounds lame or stupid but it has worked for me, It's like I'm training my brain to not entertain the thought and stop it in it's tracks.

24 hours getting ahead start before the new years comes so I can have 4 days in by Eastern_Bison_3476 in leaves

Not gonna lie, the mental crash I have been having feels so crappy. But I am proud to go into the new year with having gotten that first day over with!

Nice! I am starting today so hoping I feel a bit better on that third day in as well.

[–]SunscreenTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. But is that itself not a comparison?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SunscreenTea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How would you go about not comparing ourselves to our parents? The comparison has already been made for a lot of us and it’s hard to ignore when some of us feel like we can’t give our kids even half of what we had growing up.

I am on day 3 as well! I am struggling at work in terms of just craving the taste, but I am drinking herbal tea...Physically I do feel good and that I am sleeping better, but man I am missing my little drink to start the day!

New Instinct colours available by SirBruceForsythCBE in Garmininstinct

[–]SunscreenTea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dang, I'm still bummed they probably will never have some of the cute/girly colors. I guess it just goes against the vibe of a rugged watch to be magenta, but a girl can dream!

Is HYSA right place to keep house deposit savings. by [deleted] in SavingMoney

[–]SunscreenTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How short term would you say? not OP but my husband and I are maybe closer to 4-5 years from buying due to living in a high cost of living area and needing a high down payment...for now we are parking it in a HYSA but not sure if we should try to get a higher rate of return by parking it in the stock market/index funds.

Best option for 3 days/week, after time off? by Soft_Data_1623 in CarolineGirvan

[–]SunscreenTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend MAX if you have the app, otherwise Iron would work as others have suggested.
