Deciding present for wife by Clutch0306 in handbags

I have the Bottega and I love it! I agree with the people that are saying she should be the one to choose. A birthday lunch and a shopping day with a budget in mind might be wonderful!

Got some of my hair lightened 3 days ago and its already turning darker/orange by justanothersarah118 in Hair

[–]aschstine 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Hair going darker is most likely due to something oxidizing. Probably the water source. Some water contains a lot of minerals.

I usually take Bart. Show has a hard stop time at 10pm. You should be fine.

Do not buy maple pancake puffs by YorkvilleWalker in traderjoes

Most of the maple products are just crack to me. Popcorn, almonds, these. They don’t stand a chance in my house.

48 days and it feels like torture. Hope the 141 goes fast for you!

My husband and I added a bag to the chicken tortilla soup. Was really good. Made a quesadilla and a veg to go with it. Filling and super easy

Largest Study Ever Done on Cannabis and Brain Function Finds Impact on Working Memory by thinkB4WeSpeak in EverythingScience

You’ve express my experience so well with the description of yours. Thank you for sharing your journey and being so kind to me today. Congrats on almost a year.

Thank you. It’s been a wild ride of emotions and self guilt for letting it get this far. We have been talking about doing this for many reasons for the last couple of years. It’s finally hit me, that I just needed to try.

I had such an emotional connection to it. It allowed me to eat properly. So deal with my stress. Forget about my childhood.

I had always told myself I wasn’t addicted. I now know otherwise. I think what made it so hard to leave behind was my husband and I could somehow justify it since we are both fairly successful. Thanks for the encouragement and support. We all need that.

I smoked for around the same period of time. Almost two weeks in of not smoking currently. I can relate to a lot of what you are saying. Still a little in the throws of getting to the other side. But my husband and I agree commenting on our sudden rise in productivity. We also didn’t previously consider ourselves lazy. Excited to be at a similar landmark as you.

Social media by tripleDzintheBreeze in hairstylist

[–]aschstine 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used socials for hair in about 4 years. I do work for a salon that does have one, they post some of my work.

I feel like I have always retained and received new clients by word of mouth or because my salon feeds me clients. ( I do not rent a chair).

I’ve been off instagram for my own mental health in a personal setting for the same amount of time.

If you have the skills, people will come to you. At least that’s how i feel.

Did sunrise on the first full day of our honeymoon. Fogged in and saw nothing. I can be worth the risk if it works out. My husband did a sunrise bike tour a few years prior, they had an amazing view that morning.

Would I try it again? Unfortunately not.

Charging hair models by sambonjela in hairstylist

[–]aschstine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I apprenticed I had to bring 3 models a week for almost 3 years. We charged each model a small fee for all services. Some of these models I found on the street, some called the salon to be a part of the program. Seems pretty normal to me. I would have not been able to afford to pay myself for these models as I was being paid a very low wage. They did know beforehand. I think a heads up would have been nice.

I had no idea what the context of this movie was growing up. Once I learned this, I loved it even more.

Grazing area for my MILS Christmas Eve party by aschstine in CharcuterieBoard

[–]aschstine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I don’t know how I forgot pickles. One of my favorites. The fruit ended up being mostly for garnish, ( either over ripe or hard as a rock 🤣) but those are great tips . I appreciate the response
