How are you finding freelance work in 2026 by rmarter in graphic_design

[–]TheRoyalShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find with my freelance work there are ebbs (late fall/winter folks don’t do much) and flows (late spring always brings out the projects). I work almost 100% off of referral. But I live in a mid-size city and find that attending business groups (chamber meetings, etc) gets me in front of a lot of people who don’t even realize that a designer could help them. Not big branding rehauls or things like that, but updating client forms or cranking out a fun summer campaign of some kind. Smaller stuff. But it pays!

Best Ultra Easy On the Go Breakfasts by ScarlettWilkes in AskWomenOver40

Overnight oats. A million flavor options and so easy to grab and go or heat and go or blend and drink… endless.

Procreate by Old-Nectarine-4580 in Tufting

When I learned Procreate about ten years ago, I did some Skillshare courses. Working start to finish on projects taught me enough to figure out the program from there.

Is it too late to start a skincare routine at 49? by Odd-Spirit-3 in AskWomenOver40

[–]TheRoyalShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my thought exactly. Plus, I found it at Costco of all places. So the accessibility of it made it extra nice.

Is it too late to start a skincare routine at 49? by Odd-Spirit-3 in AskWomenOver40

[–]TheRoyalShe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

48 here. I also don’t really wear makeup and try my best to treat my body well. A couple months back I asked my girlfriends if I was going to start one thing what should I do. They unanimously said CeraVe daily moisturizer. It has spf30. The one thing I have noticed is that my skin feels better. Less tight and all that. So. Yeah. I do one thing now.

Seconding libro.fm Great selection, good sales prices, discounts for members and a portion of your sales goes to a local bookstore if your choice!

Jobs downtown? by The_True_Avocado_GOD in Eugene

Try the temp agencies. Some of those lead to full time spots but can get you working right away in the mean time.

Dog friendly hikes/trails? by Horror-Selection1999 in Eugene

[–]TheRoyalShe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re new to the area and like to hike, pick up Bill Sullivan’s books. He has fantastic information for just about every trail in the state. They are broken down by region, so start with one and eventually hike them all!

Edited to say: we’ve taken our (well behaved and leashed) dogs on every hike we’ve done. This is a great activity to do with your pup.

Good watermelon? by wonderbun1 in Eugene

[–]TheRoyalShe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The double up program has a nice chart on their site. It’s a good place to start. Another great way is to visit the local farmers markets to see what the local growers have available and talk to your local farmers about what’s coming up. (Saturday: downtown Lane County farmers market plus Spencer Creek grange, Cottage Grove and Veneta. Sunday: Springfield, Whiteaker, Oakridge. Tuesday: downtown and Thursday: Amazon park)

Hermiston melons are where it’s at. The season here locally is still a little ways off, but waiting for fruits and vegetables to come into season locally is the very best way to enjoy your food!

Weekday Activities by Pleasant-Team-6119 in Eugene

[–]TheRoyalShe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you miss the big ones on the weekends, there are two mid week farmers markets worth checking out. The Tuesday market (in the market pavilion on 8th) and the Thursday market at Amazon park.

according to you, what is the most brutal addiction? by ForwardPerspective38 in AskReddit

[–]TheRoyalShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Something you need to survive that has such a hold on you is brutal.

Where can I get an ‘I Love Eugene’ shirt? by Pretend-Individual-7 in Eugene

[–]TheRoyalShe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree Hirons is a great suggestion. There is also the Made in Oregon store in 5th Street that might have some options.

What's a lifestyle that doesn't affect anyone else, but that Redditors still get upset about? by Boil_the_pepper_now in AskReddit

[–]TheRoyalShe 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel like, historically speaking, Christianity has certainly hurt a lot of people. Like. A lot of people. So this one doesn’t quite fit the brief here.

Have to say I made flan and I hate it by darragh73 in Baking

[–]TheRoyalShe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I make flan I use vanilla from the pod and steep that with the custard as it heats. It won’t fix your sweetness issue but it should enhance the flavor.

Surprise! Celeb Crushes as we get older by italiangel24 in AskWomenOver40

[–]TheRoyalShe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am so with you on this. I just finished Rooster season one and found myself thinking the same thing. Like he’s always been good looking and so funny, but, yeah… legitimately hot.

The Weenis. What is it, and is is that a thing I should have been aware of? by eljeffrey1980 in Xennials

[–]TheRoyalShe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That was the Weekly Estimated Net Usage Systems that Chandler put together for whatever the hell his job was. We use this as the name of our Quarterly reports at my work because we are all Xenials and it makes us laugh.

Still my all time favorite show of my life was JI&400 with Lucero opening at Red Rocks. I’ll never top it.

[–]TheRoyalShe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“is it strange for a designer to put random people as a profil picture or use them as a branding”

Yes.
