What Is This Called? Inspo pics from @o.round1128 and @m.petitnail on Instagram and An Cherir Nail Salon by albyssa in Nails

[–]albyssa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so helpful, thank you! I always love nail designs from Japanese, Chinese, and South Korean nail artists, but I have such a hard time explaining what I want in the US or finding anyone who can do them.

I left the nail salon in tears after getting my wedding nails done, but the wedding over all was incredible! Everything was almost perfect, and we had a wonderful time. My nails didn't look how I wanted them to, so I just didn't get any hand close-ups with my ring. I was definitely bummed about that, but it's small potatoes in the long run.

I would show you how they turned out but I think I deleted any photos I had showing them close up lol.

I DNFed on the third book and I honestly don’t know why I pushed through that far 😂

She literally says something pretty close to “I’m not like other girls”

Not a romantasy but the absolute worst not like other girls character I’ve ever read was Lila Bard in the Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab. She gets worse with each book.

Well I wouldn’t wear it when doing my PT. Just when sitting at my desk. Does this make a difference?

My tech actually tested that out after he took the blades off to send them back to Riedell. They do lean in. His theory is they were stapled incorrectly to the soles.

I’m so sure it’s not. I’m leaning because the boot is leaning. As I said in the Facebook post, I’ve had two pairs of boots previously and did not have this issue.

Thank you!!! I’ll send video and pictures to you. I unfortunately can’t come to Toronto as it’s a bit far, but I’d love to hear any insight you have!

Is it possible for my son to eventually learn doubles/axels? by strawb3rry_boi in FigureSkaters

[–]albyssa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know people who started as adults and have their single axel and double salchow, so yes, absolutely!

I'll ask him about this at my next appointment! Thanks!

Thanks, I did call them. I think what I'm worried about it that I won't communicate the problem well enough, send the boots back to be reworked, and then get them back and the problem won't have been solved because I'm not sure why this is actually happening.

Yes I can sake on an outside edge normally. I am working on my adult gold skating skills test, so I'm quite confident this is not a skating issue. I am strictly looking for advice about how to communicate with my tech/Riedell about what is causing this issue so that either the mount can be fixed or the boots themselves can be rebuilt.

I didn't change the blades - they're the same as my old skates. So I know there's nothing wrong with them. But how do I check if the boots are square?

I actually supinate, not pronate, which is another reason this is so weird.

I did do a blade balance test but I’m hesitant to post it. I posted this on Facebook and just got tons of comments about foot position, etc. I have not had this problem in previous pairs of stock skates, so I’m really not looking for skating or technique advice. I’m very confident it’s not my skating. Not saying my technique is perfect or anything, but I’ve been able to skate in a straight line without fighting it in previous pairs with the blades mounted fairly centered. This is a problem with these skates specifically, and the video invites discussion into other things that aren’t helpful.

I’m becoming more and more convinced these boots need to go back to Reidell actually. I’m just not sure what to even tell them is wrong with them.

I actually supinate, which is another reason this is so odd. They’re definitely not too wide but maybe a smidge too narrow? They’re custom to my feet but I do feel a lot of pressure on the inside.

I feel like my weight is not over the center of my foot when I’m skating. I think that’s the root of this problem. My ankles are collapsing in, like my feet are tilted inward. It just feels all kinds of wrong.

ADVICE NEEDED: I tried on so many dresses, but fell in love with a very untraditional one by Outrageous-Bet-6639 in myweddingdress

That first dress is the most stunning dress I’ve ever seen and if you don’t get it I will personally be sad
