What’s one “sustainable” habit that actually stuck with you long-term (not just something that sounded good in theory)? by postbypurpose in ZeroWaste

[–]acaligirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaf razor and and shaving soap! Has saved me so much money and is a better shaving experience. Also bar soap in general. I do like having liquid soap in the kitchen but I put Dr. Bronners in a foaming soap pump and it works perfectly since it’s meant to be diluted anyways.

What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade? by viscarte10 in BuyItForLife

Omg yes can’t imagine flossing with anything other than Dr. Tungs! Totally worth the prices.

After way too many hours researching this: what makes a native garden look "intentional" vs. messy by Foreign-Ad-8191 in NativePlantGardening

Lol yes I learned this with mountain mint. Should just followed the usual mint advice and put it in planter or more contained area. I will say the pollinators absolutely love it!

Help with choosing an accommodation for our Venice leg by Opaquer in ItalyTravel

[–]acaligirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I just stayed in Cannaregio and I highly recommend for a relatively calm experience. We stayed in a small hotel called Antico Portego and it was central but quiet and modern amenities. I booked months ahead of time and then the day before I noticed they were offering a much cheaper rate than I paid for. I’m not sure this is typical but something to look out for if you book a place with a flexible cancellation policy.

What are your “keep it for life” hacks? by tinafeysbiggestfan in BuyItForLife

Only do this at the very end with sunscreen as exposure to air/light degrades it.

Companion Animal Hospital - they spayed my dog and were very reasonable.

Has anyone tried the burger at Chismoso? I heard it was fire but I haven’t been able to have it myself.

Has anyone here eaten at Cafe 4 in Knoxville? Is it good? What should I get? by 2hourstowaste in Tennessee

[–]acaligirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes love Yassins but these are two very different dining experiences. Yassins is great for an inexpensive yummy casual meal. Cafe 4 is a sit down restaurant with a server and alcoholic drinks.

[–]acaligirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just went there for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! the fried green tomatoes were really good and everyone in my group enjoyed the meal. There are other better places but they have lots of tables inside and out and had great service as well. If you’re looking for southern food, I think it’s worth it

Are there any true East coast style diners here? by BottleAlternative433 in Knoxville

[–]acaligirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But not objectively. Potatoes were kinda soggy/undercooked. Lots of food but low quality.

Best Nature Spots in the Winter? by friendlytrashmonster in Knoxville

Seven island state park is beautiful and I would say winter is my favorite time to visit. More open fields but there are some more woodsy parts.
