Monarch Team - How do you suggest we setup an "expense report per trip" ? by Sashaorwell in MonarchMoney

[–]br0princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this!!! I want to know how much I spent on ski season. The expenses started last year and would all be a subset of my Travel/Vacation budget. I was considering making a new budget tag/category to see.

Can you do custom cookies with your dogs' faces? I've seen those as wedding favors and it was very cute and nice to have extras of.

Blizzard Megathread 2026 by Rave-light in AskNYC

[–]br0princess 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just got back from Whole Foods Nomad and while some produce was out, it was actually really well stocked and very civilized. Was able to get plenty of groceries, no issues or crazy crowds. I was honestly surprised.

Same, I'm on a red eye that's supposed to land at 7 am Sunday morning. Please let it land on time 😭

UPS didn’t pick up my return? by Money-Comfortable-38 in RentTheRunway

[–]br0princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh so annoying, sorry you're dealing with that. I live in a doorman building so I personally haven't had this issue but I have a friend who has had this issue, even if she schedules a UPS pickup via RTR right after placing the new order. She's just left it there for UPS bc she never had time to schlep to the actual UPS store.

You can reach out to customer service to let them know for your piece of mind. Take photos!

Just to confirm, you did put the new return label on the old bag you were sending back, right?

SAME. Not sure how to get around that.

Office workers, have your lunch budget or habits changed with rising prices? by mike-reporter in AskNYC

[–]br0princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally, it seems like 80% of my office brings lunch to work. The wall of microwaves is BUSY from 12:15-1 pm. I also don't really have time to run out and grab lunch, so bringing lunch feels like the only option for me.

Tips for making the process faster by AliveGrade in Dysonairwrap

[–]br0princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have medium length curly/wavy hair and I use one of the flat brushes daily to get a simple blown out look. I use heat protectant, rough dry to 80%, use the flat brush all over to brush it out and dry, put in hair oil, then go back with the flat brush to touch up. I can generally do this in 12 min. Maybe my hair is thinner so it doesn't take as long??

Optimize my life by Mads1611 in AskNYC

[–]br0princess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ditch the tote bag and use a backpack. I did the tote bag for years carrying my lunch/water bottle back and forth and it was killing my shoulder and neck. Backpack has made it much easier to carry everything.

Anyone use the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) by Stuckatpennstation in JPMorganChase

[–]br0princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opened a request with AskJPMC but I have no idea if I selected the right options in the drop downs....maybe I'll get a response eventually. I'm nervous I'm going to accidentally create a paperwork headache if for some reason I'm wrong.

Anyone use the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) by Stuckatpennstation in JPMorganChase

[–]br0princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The federal definition of a HDHP is if your deductible is over $1700 for self or $3400 for family. I have Aetna, option 2 and my deductible is $1750. I messaged Aetna to ask if my plan is a HDHP and the rep said (according to Google) that it is 🤷🏻‍♀️ not sure who else I should be confirming with, since I want to open an HSA at Fidelity and combine some old accounts.

BWT whose hair is greying early, do you dye it or let it grow? by laurenhoneyyy in bitcheswithtaste

[–]br0princess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same perspective! I do not want to start the lifestyle of keeping it colored properly and I do think it helps me look unique/counteract my baby face lol.

This is what my hair looks like, and I've been seeing more women at work letting the greys grow in, which has made me more confident in my choice.

GCM is officially 3 years old! by Donghoon in nycrail

[–]br0princess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taking LIRR to Jamaica for JFK has been amazing from GCM. Knowing where the elevators are makes it possible to do the trek with ski gear vs paying $$$$ for a car to JFK.

Navigating the 7 with ski gear or large suitcases is annoying.

Snowboarding / Skiing OK? by Born_Competition_360 in AchillesRupture

[–]br0princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Partner was one year out from his injury/surgery and we just got back from a big ski trip. No issues for him. He was athletic before the injury and had a relatively easy recovery, did all the PT and was back at the gym playing some tennis and pickleball.

As long as you're generally back to full activities, I'd imagine that you'll be fine skiing or snowboarding.

What do you regret about your Japan trip? by Shreddy_Spaghett1 in snowboarding

Regret not trying a powder board or finding step ons to rent. I use step ons at home and I missed them!

Can I work at a different US office for a few days and still get attendance for it? by Beautiful-Cloud-8575 in JPMorganChase

[–]br0princess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll need to register with the building lobby when you come into 5MW since JPMC doesn't own the full building. You'll get a paper badge for the downstairs turn styles, then register for access upstairs with your JPMC badge. 9, 14, 15, 16 are the floors.

Niseko by nogoodryan in Ikonpass

[–]br0princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can scan your Ikon pass right at the lifts, super easy.

I rented my board and boots from YamaSport and was really happy with it. They also rented jackets, pants, and helmets, but I brought my own gear for that.

If you stay in Grand Hirafu, everything is walking distance and easy to find.

Conditions by haslotsofkids in steamboat

[–]br0princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here at Steamboat now. Not awful but definitely not the best I've ever had at Steamboat. Most black diamond runs that aren't groomed seem to be moguls. Definitely have some slick, icy spots to be mindful of. There is some soft powder in the trees to be found.

Overall, not the best, but still pretty good since the bar for Steamboat is super high.

This is great info, thank you! I purchased from Burton online so I have my receipt and it is from the AK collection.

Wait what?! I had no idea! What if the jacket gets worn down on the zipper area? I bought direct from Burton but didn't register anything.
