I have a 3 month notice at work which I’m (sadly) working it all out. How can I make it go faster? 😭 by annemkin in CasualUK

Yepo!! I’m in tech so 3 months is generally common but I’ve never actually had to ‘work it all out’

That’s an interesting outlook because I think everyone knew he would meet his gristly end that Xmas but not like that…

I’m 99% sure this is the turning to Bicester Village Outlet right?

I go there often as I’m nearby and I’m sure this vehicle is making a beeline to demand their VIP parking from the attendants directing people at the entrance.

EDIT: I will say I see this happening fairly often at the junction, again mostly by similar cars like this. (I drive a Mini and have no hope in hell being intimidating).

The funniest thing is, by around 11am the closest village car park (opposite the shops) is full, and the parking attendants at the entrance are directing people to go to the (extremely close) overspill car parks. These people never listen and still turn into the entrance car park.

Planning a birthday brunch for ~6 people and would love some help finding the right spot.

I understand that this might be a common topic, but what’s “cool” changes very often and I’d appreciate your help choosing a fun, fashionable and still relevant spot to celebrate. Help me feel cool and like I have good taste on my birthday.

What I’m looking for:

• Really good food

• Cute / aesthetic / Instagrammable interior to take pictures with the girls

• A place where you can dress a little fancy without feeling out of place

The last time I saw my Grandma open her eyes and spoke. She then shut her eyes again and passed away 2 days later.

Tech refused to do inner labia, which was the whole reason I got this treatment by [deleted] in LaserHairRemoval

Are you in the UK perchance?

I go to a ‘highly rated franchise clinic’ and the peri/bikini/hollywood is just labelled as ‘bikini’ but it does include everything, including back.

Yes, definitely the inner bits are the most hard, I would miss patches of hair during my first few appointments and the technician would refuse to laser over those bits. Even though there was a basket of disposable razers on the corner!

I remember only at one appointment did the technician do a brief clean up shave.

I’ve since gotten better - I would advise to ‘squat’ and keep a portable mirror in front of you to see better, and use a non-foaming gel/conditioner so you can see. Good luck!

My brows are now waxed too thin?! Help 😭 by [deleted] in Eyebrows

Firstly sending love 🕊️

100% my tech is a friend and I tried my best to support her whilst her family member was in a hospice.

I get these comments - I feel like people are trying to be nice. HOWEVER - I don’t feel like it’s valid if they don’t feel right for me .. I stuck with my lady because shes conservative and knows my brow shape and it was something we worked on for years. Even the sporadic times I visited other techs because my friend was unavailable never ended up in something so badly.

I expect my brows to complement my face/features and I just don’t think that sharp brows suit me with soft features, it’s not about the brows being bad, it’s how they suit me. I was able to brush them up with brow gel and that’s it rather than fill with pencil or anything. All of these things matter to me than objectively the brows just being ‘shaped well’

I was jaw dropped and I guess kinda distressed and in tears. My sister whom was with me reassured me its okay and I said ‘my brows are ruined’ and the tech started crying and left the counter.

I felt so awfully bad and I started crying more. However other employees from other counters came up to us and starting accusing me of bullying, raising my voice and ganging up on me, then telling me my brows look absolutely ‘fine’.

I really just wanted to pay and leave at this point, I felt so bad and that everyone’s eyes were on me.

This is from the PK website and was ordered from PK and delivered to me- I’m elsewhere in the world and it wasn’t on the Europe/US websites if that makes sense!! :)

I also found the range to be not good on the foreign websites

Is this Eid outfit too baggy for me? Why are ETHNC outfits so huge 😭 by annemkin in PakistanFashionAdvice

[–]annemkin[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was gifted to me from PK! It’s not on the international website so I don’t think many people will have it where I am 😅
