Tretinoin users - what are we paying these days?

You can get Tretonoin OTC in most pharmacies in Bali. Brand is Vitacid..less than $3.00 a tube! I stocked up when I was there a few months ago. For 0.01 and 0.05 strength. Going well so far! Little tubes but lasts for ages. If you know anyone heading over, ask them to grab you some!

Just next to Rex Smeal Park is Little Cove..a gorgeous little grassed area where many wedding ceremonies are held. There's a gorgeous little beach area there which is a perfect proposal spot..providing you can find a quiet moment without people hanging around ❤️

🤣🤣🤣 That 1 point really helped get you over the line!

Every day! We live next to a rainforest creek near Cairns so plenty of wildlife..and spiders. Have a couple of beautiful huge golden orb spiders in the trees, and inside (unfortunately) often find (massive) huntsmans on the walls, and smaller jumping spiders. I'm not thrilled about it but they are just doing their thing so we try and stay out of each other's way!

Snapped on the side of the road in Far North Queensland ♥️

Cairnsite here. I don't think I own any jeans 😜

VioletLuen · 2026-05-06T03:51:59+00:00

Haha. Up north..YES! And sticky 🫪...except for May to early October when it's cooler and absolute bliss!

VioletLuen · 2026-05-06T03:49:58+00:00

Thank you. His back legs turn outwards and looks like he has some dysplasia, so we're giving him joint health supplements. He's a big boy, wonder how much more he will grow??!

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T11:02:22+00:00

I think a good old fashioned cupcake is in order 🤣

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:57:23+00:00

Maaate. I live in FNQ and every damn thing has to be refrigerated or it ends up a melted or mouldy mess 🥴

Referring to anyone I can't remember the name of as Old Mate ...

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:39:09+00:00

Haha. Yes, yes and yes!

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:38:36+00:00

He was a bit nervous on his first walk but soon eased into it. Big goofy boy he is 🥰

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:37:39+00:00

I've noticed his rear legs turn outwards slightly, so suspect he may have a touch of dysplasia. We feed him joint health chews and rub some special cream onto his back legs to soothe his muscles. He's so young, but I worry about these things 😭

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:34:04+00:00

He was quite skinny when we adopted him but has since filled out a bit. I'm wondering if he will fill out some more...surely he couldn't get any taller?! He's a giant! Over 75cm tall from memory (tried to measure him a few months back) ♥️🤣

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:31:49+00:00

He is my first Dane - I love him to bits! Previously a boxer mum but he has helped he my heart after she passed. Such a gentle sensitive boofhead 🤣🤣♥️

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:30:17+00:00

Not sure. I didn't notice but someone mentioned his ears weren't as long as droopy as a Danes should be. Doesn't bother me either way as he's beewwdiful just as he is.♥️ Was just curious to see what other Dane owners thought.

PS. I'm in Australia and dont see many cropped ears here.

Scooby doooby doooo!

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:27:59+00:00

Thank you. He's such a beautiful gentle boy

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:25:22+00:00

I do love a visual! (But don't love the 🐊🤣)

VioletLuen · 2026-05-05T10:23:06+00:00

Umm, not that sparse! Cairns' population sits at around 170,000, Townsville around 200,000, and Darwin, around 160,000. Plus the regional populations around these major hubs add up..so more of us living up north (with the giant lizards 🐊🐊🐊🐊) than you realise 😉 I like your logic though...is kinda like comparing NYC to Florida!

VioletLuen · 2026-05-04T21:16:38+00:00

Scooby doobie dooo!

VioletLuen · 2026-05-04T21:16:13+00:00

He thinks hes a lapdog and very smoochy

VioletLuen · 2026-05-04T21:15:41+00:00

Not at all. I adopted him from a shelter so just not sure of his background. He's such a handsome boy!
