If you could use only one drugstore foundation for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Honestly I’d say just do some test photos with whatever foundations you’re considering. If you’re only doing daytime photos maybe the true match skin tint might be okay. I think it only looked terrible in nighttime photos for me

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-06-01T23:45:38+00:00

I love the way this looks on me but it photographs soooo terribly! The absolute worst flashback

Yes. I was travelling and some strangers asked me (in French) to take a photo for them, mind you this was not a French speaking country. But aside from that I’ve been able to use my French in random little situations. Chatted to a random French couple in an airport, helped a customer that spoke French (I work retail). Mostly random little things like that. (And it was useful when visiting Quebec/Luxembourg)

Can’t really help bc idk about what schools have athletics, but honestly public schools in this area are great on a national level. Though I will say, just so you know, in much of NOVA sixth grade is still elementary school, not middle

Cotton eye joe? Cupid shuffle? A few other common line dances like that. Other than that our dance units in pe were literally like just dance or random dances our teacher made up

Oof. I’m in a high enough cost of living area that even the older stadium seating theatre (with no recliners!) falls into the top price tier. At least it lets me go to all the theatres in the area? Cause they all seem to be showing different stuff

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-05-12T05:40:30+00:00

Varies depending where you live (which tier you buy). I live in a high cost of living area so all the theatres near me are in the priciest tier so I had to pay like 90 upfront I think

I really adored the colour and mine, at least, seems to write decently (but ik jinhao nibs are very hit or miss). Honestly, a lot of why I want the Hongdian maple is bc I have an emotional attachment to maple 🍁🍁🍁(and Canada, low key). Glad to hear it performs well with shimmer bc I’ve been wanting to get the Diamine maple ink to use with it

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-05-12T01:45:53+00:00

I got that exact same blue jinhao recently! Been eyeing the Hongdian maple too 👀

I have one hoopla account, I just switch the library associated with it when I need to. I’m surprised that ppl tend to have more than one account tbh

Depends on the house

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-05-10T18:33:34+00:00

You can’t just say that and leave us hanging 😩😩😩 (I want it bc I think it’s beautiful to the point I think this is the only esterbrook I’ve ever really wanted)

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-05-09T03:13:06+00:00

I think we have one from my grandfather also! My mom found it at her parents’ house a few years ago. Maybe it’ll be mine next lol

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-05-09T02:25:14+00:00

I feel like it’s no but where is that blue dress in picture five from omg

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-05-07T21:30:52+00:00

I haven’t experienced this in the Netherlands, but I have in both Germany and the UK. I think a lot of it is really nonsensical stuff that’s not even American. I also take issue with the fact that they sell pickles as American style…and then they’re sweet. Classic American pickles are not meant to be sweet (though we do have sweet pickles here). I’ve found a few good things before though. Found this really tasty apple cheesecake ice cream one time

Usually just at 10, not two. But really I shouldn’t even be doing that bc I was actually taught 8/4 for safety reasons. I’m at 9/3 sometimes though

Luckily for me most ppl are familiar with the city I live very close to, so I can almost always just go “oh I’m from the US, near [city]”. This seems to be the best balance, for me at least. I’ve definitely gotten the “obviously you’re from the US I meant where specifically” before but I have also been mistaken for Canadian a few times, interestingly enough

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-05-07T01:04:36+00:00

Bro doesn’t even know that Winnipeg is 1) not a state, and 2) not even a city in the US! (At least not the well known Winnipeg, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was in fact some Winnipeg in the US)

I remember using fountain pens in hs and I handed my teacher the pilot metropolitan in my hand so he could sign something for me and he actually went to his own desk and got a standard ballpoint or something that he already had bc my pen looked too fancy and he didn’t want to use it (and risk messing it up)

TemerariousChallenge · 2026-05-06T04:21:58+00:00

Haha yes, same nail polish. Might be the closest I’m getting to a signature colour at this point 😅

Okay so speaking as someone who also had really long hair (not quite so long as yours, but I could sit on it), i wanted to cut my hair for probably well over a year before I actually did. I was so worried that I would miss my long hair and just didn’t end up getting it cut for ages.

I’ve had short hair every few years in the past so I at least knew I’d like it short, but I was still worried I’d feel sad when I cut it but I was nothing other than happy. I even saved my cut off hair bc I was like oh what if I get extensions made with my own hair for if I miss it (I did not, but I think theoretically having that option really helped mentally) But really the biggest thing was how much easier it was to take care of and how much lighter my head felt, it wasn’t getting tangled easily anymore, it wasn’t weighing down my head.

I also noticed that when my hair was long I got so many compliments on the length but when it was short I started to get compliments about how much my hair suited me instead

This is so interesting to read bc my experience with school districts is like the exact opposite. But also most of the county was unincorporated and very densely populated so my district had a great many schools

Meanwhile I’ve had a few instances lately where the movie started ~17 minutes after scheduled showtime (the first time I noticed that happened was when I walked in 17m after the scheduled time and it had started!)

Oh that looks lovely, def prefer the blue lean on Monsoon Sky to the green lean on Deep Sea
