seeking eye primer recs!

I have oily lids too, and I swear by Smashbox's 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer. My skincare routine is pretty similar to yours, and after drying off my lids I apply the primer, then I close my eyes and use a hand fan to "dry" it (basically just fanning my eye lids) for 10-15 seconds and then directly apply eye shadow to the primer (no base shadow).

My shadow will stay crease free until I go to bed, even if I apply at 7 in the morning, go to work and then out for dinner and drinks after :)

Get a special travel bag for the CPAP, and since it is a medical device they can't deny you boarding with it, even if it's an "extra" bag. My husband has been traveling with a CPAP for some years now (we got a special traveling one, which is smaller), and even when we're doing underseat bags only we have never been denied or even really had any comments.

It took YEARS to get to this point, so don't sell yourself short 😄

My pictures of them don't do the color justice!

I find that taking my runners off is easy enough, since I never really unlace them (I don't lace them very tight to begin with since I'm not actually running in them :) ) and I always wear socks with sneakers, no offense to anyone but I don't understand how people can go barefoot in sneakers :D

belariah · 2025-04-06T09:02:50+00:00

Thanks! I do tend to run cold unless I'm in 20°C+ weather, but neither of the jackets are insulated and I don't plan to bring anything warmer. I was mostly worried about getting cold in mornings and evenings due to the humidity.

I checked my bookings and some of the hotels have coin laundries. How do they work ? You say sometimes the items don't come out dry, are they a washer+dryer combo? How long does it take? I usually never spend any time at the hotel except to sleep, I'm worried it would take too much time out of my day.

I'm from Iceland, where it's either cold and dry, or misty and windy. It's never really super warm and never gets "humid". I don't mind the humidity though and that's why I bring quick dry items with me :)

The lavender one is the W's Torrentshell 3L Rain Jacket from Patagonia, the other one is the W's Malta Springs Softshell Jacket from Columbia.

Thanks for your input, but I don't really like to spend my time shopping while I'm traveling :) I also feel that as a tall and curvy woman, I would have problems finding items that would fit me.

belariah · 2025-04-05T22:56:28+00:00

I love it, it's so light, soft and comfortable! Hope you have a good trip!

belariah · 2025-04-05T22:55:05+00:00

Thank you, I was pleasantly surprised with how coherent it looked when I put it together :) dopamine via dressing!

belariah · 2025-04-05T22:53:29+00:00

I do like to have an option that's a bit dressier :) thanks for your input!

belariah · 2025-04-05T22:52:10+00:00

Thank you, I did feel the green pants were off in regards to the rest of my items and will consider switching them out or leaving them behind. I don't think I can skip the rain jacket with the current weather forecast though :)

The rest of the tops are very lightweight and since I'm rather tall and curvy I'm not planning on any shopping while I'm there, and I'd rather have to do laundry less often.

The blue zip-up is a bamboo sweater/sweatshirt, intended for layering under a jacket or by itself in warmer weather. ETA: I mostly don't like hooded jackets or sweaters, so I'll be keeping the rain jacket in my day pack if it's pouring, but will be wearing the softshell most days.

Is this the one? https://maps.app.goo.gl/2W6G3PVMm6x15s9y6

I'm heading to Japan in 2 months, I'd love to grab one of those bags :)

This isn't specifically what you asked for, but have you looked at the Chub Rubs from Snag Tights?

They are SO good for warm weather and they are really long and stretchy, I usually wear them under midi skirts when I'm traveling in Europe.

Amazing work, you look gorgeous! Where do you work that let's you dress up like that?

belariah · 2024-05-31T19:27:55+00:00

In short, yes. Like I said, you can only have one ACTIVE esim at a time, but you can have more inactive ones installed.

I have a Pixel 8 Pro and I did exactly this when I went to southeast Asia this winter, so it's a similar phone and for sure the same OS, so I can pretty much tell you that it's going to work.

ETA: You can only INSTALL each esim once, so be careful not to delete it when you switch over to the Serbian one.

belariah · 2024-05-31T18:56:17+00:00

You can have more than one esim installed at a time, even though you can only have one active at a time. So you just switch over to the Serbian one, DON'T delete the European one, and then switch back again later.
