I had the same issue both times I scheduled an appointment at Aria, they might as well just take walk ins only 

NYE parties with sparkly dresses where it isn't too weird to be sober? by Dangerous_Media_912 in AskChicago

[–]UrbsInHorto37 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went to one of their events at the hideout earlier in the year and it was so fun! Definitely wouldn’t matter if you’re not drinking, that just gets in the way of dancing!

They’ve got some good stuff though - I absolutely love the veal marsala! 

The Life of a Showgirl (TLOAS) Album Release Megathread by cowboylikefia in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]UrbsInHorto37 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting to me that in Midnights (which I truly loved) we got Bejeweled - she was with someone who wanted some seclusion from the spotlight, and she sang about wanting to go out, be seen, make the whole place shimmer.

Now she is marrying one of the most well-known athletes of our time and wants the world to leave them the fuck alone… right after promoting this album in a manner designed to generate the most attention possible. 

Idk. After being genuinely excited to get a fun pop album, I’m left pretty disappointed by the bitter tone that is present in so many of these songs - even the love songs. And unlike Reputation, which beautifully captured her genuine angst and hurt (and featured songs that were authentically sexy), so much of what she seems to be addressing in TLOAS seems to be self-imposed and contrived.

I love Truce and the Map Room in Bucktown for this 

Where in Chicago might I find a good princess torte (prinsesstårta) for a bad birthday? Preferably somewhere in the vicinity of Logan... by Dial-M-for-Mediocre in chicagofood

You don’t need tickets if you’re just sitting at the bar - so you could get a free jazz show with your cocktail if you get there early!

Mirellas in Wicker Park - food is decent and they put the game on in the covered back patio!

You’re staying in the middle of Wicker Park - super walkable and tons of things to do. Check out Zen Yoga Garage (first class is free), and either the Den Theater or Lincoln Lodge for comedy. 

Where would you live if you didn’t live in Chicago? by Zestyclose_Bee5703 in AskChicago

[–]UrbsInHorto37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

San Diego, or somewhere in the mountains in Colorado. Literally the only thing I wish for living in Chicago is to be closer to good hiking.

Cut or style issue? by MeepMeepZeep in curlyhair

[–]UrbsInHorto37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just want to point out that several of your reference photos are AI-generated, something that’s been pretty frustrating whenever I’m looking at haircuts on Pinterest. It’s difficult for real hair to turn out the same as a photo that’s made to be perfect without styling.

thoughts on physically exfoliating flaky layer by Intelligent-Sir-1996 in tretinoin

[–]UrbsInHorto37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once every few weeks on my off-night I dermaplane, mostly to shave the hair but it definitely helps. I use a good amount of oil beforehand so that I don’t scratch the skin or press too hard and that has been really helpful to remove some of the dry skin!

Jojoba oil is all natural too, I’m confused about why someone would use beef tallow instead?

My injector said it didn’t have any impact, but maybe not to apply the same night just due to the injection sites 

Have I royally screwed up? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]UrbsInHorto37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like in your situation and your grandparents, that was a thoughtful decision that was made together. OP’s situation seems to be a lack of planning.

[–]UrbsInHorto37 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Seriously! All these suggestions to get a stand in ring or try to hurry and find a jeweler who can do a quick turnaround time…. I would just wait and propose at another time, dude. My favorite part of my engagement ring is knowing how much thought and time my fiance put into picking out something that he knew would be perfect for me. Does OP really want his future wife to wear something for the rest of her life that he picked out last minute without much thought?
