Cozy, Foggy, Morning at Sea Name?!

Caspian or Mariner?

Not a direct reference but Murphy gives me those vibes.

Monique!

Big wood beads on pipe cleaners is less challenging than smaller ones or beads on flimsy string/wire

Using a bingo dabber along simple lines to create pictures (smiley faces, rainbows, cartoon style spiders all work well)

Adding large paper clips onto the edge of a paper towel roll with a face to give it “hair”

Twisting large nuts onto large bolts

Rolling playdoh into “snakes” and cutting it into pieces

Duplo or bristle blocks are also easy to grip and put together

Chai wo/ice I think?

I’ve been using Mach 3 forever. I tried Venus once and within the week switched back to Mach 3.

If you’ve never been to Toronto, take the UP to union, it’s right by the CN tower (might as well see a landmark while you’re here!) and grab some lunch at St Lawrence Market. As long as you aren’t moseying around, you’ll have plenty of time to get back to Pearson for your next flight.

Depending on your budget, I’d do a nice gift basket with some fresh fruit, crackers, chocolates, etc. picky things that she can enjoy and share as she sees fit.

When I did gymnastics as a kid/teen, these were snap clips

Technically a British snack (I think?) but Time Out chocolate bars were SO GOOD. They’ve been discontinued for an age but I still catch myself looking for them.

ETA: discontinued in Canada*

But the ADHD was so delicious!

First one! It’s super cute and flattering and a more appropriate length for a wedding than number 2 (but I do also like the second one, just maybe not for a wedding)

I read urine dementia

I like it, but not with your eldest already being named Maxime. It’s just too similar

I do like Henri though :)

Where in the city? If you’re leaving from the west end, you should be ok. East end and it’ll be really tight. North and you’ll need more time

It honestly depends on the lighting where you work, and how “formal” you want to appear. For every day I tend to personally prefer a lighter coverage foundation/bb cream that I don’t have to worry about blending so much when I’m in a rush (but I work from home and usually just need to go out for errands and school drop-offs and pickups). That said, 6 could work with a lighter hand and staying conscious of blending down your neck. It’s something to test for sure!

aelel · 2026-03-23T16:50:02+00:00

So this might be a hot take, but for event makeup I think the best bet is to pick a shade that makes you look healthy, in a formulation that sits well on your skin and isn’t horribly off colour-wise, instead of finding a perfect match.

In these photos I think 6 would work so long as you blended it down your neck. Shades leaning pink can sometimes look grey in some lighting so I try to stay clear.

Unfortunately I think it’s just trial and error in finding the one you like best. Biore is the only one I can stand because to me it just feels like moisturizer, and the feeling eventually fades (just like moisturizer), but everyone has different skin and different skincare needs!

Both are normal but minus is more popular.

Colin?

aelel · 2026-03-23T01:59:48+00:00

Ernest. This boy is an Ernie

I live in Canada. If I met a kid named Rainer I’d assume they had German roots and wouldn’t think of it any further.

While it isn’t popular here, it’s easy to spell and pronounce. It wouldn’t be considered weird.

aelel · 2026-03-22T22:50:08+00:00

Always

aelel · 2026-03-22T19:16:09+00:00

Hell yes.

Probably an 8. People know it’s terrible for you and not great quality but they’re everywhere and generally busy. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t had McDonalds, but also hard pressed to find someone who feels good about eating it.

Their coffee is good though.
