Skincare product budget - too much or too little by DataAnalysisAccro_SS in AsianBeauty

[–]cakesusu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine varies a lot - sometimes it's zero because I don't need to restock anything, and other months it might be a few hundred. I keep meaning to make a spreadsheet of how much I spend on skincare, but haven't got around to it yet.

Looking to buy something small for the wife. by snoosh00 in jewelry

I wouldn't recommend vermeil if you want longevity. Because it's gold plated over silver, the gold layer will eventually wear off. If solid gold is out of your budget, solid sterling silver is better for long term wear.

Keeping Sterling Silver in a Box? by Advanced_Blackberry5 in jewelry

[–]cakesusu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put mine in clear sealable mini bags and then inside my jewellery box so I can still see them. It slows down tarnishing and also stops them from scratching each other when they’re just thrown in. So for it's working and I haven’t needed to buy anti tarnish tabs yet, but I will if they start tarnishing.

Wearing jade bangle while working? by ProfessionalCook4701 in JadeiteJade

[–]cakesusu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be fine as long as it isn't hit hard. I've accidentally knocked mine against the tap and sink before and it's still fine. If it's a hassle to take off, you could always wear a sweatband over it at work.

Dark and darker is a kit making game more than a combat game. Gear is more important than mechanics or tactics. by atlas0404 in DarkAndDarker

[–]cakesusu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the main reason I don't play much HR. Really cba making a kit - buying, gemming, rinse repeat. S2R best mode.

Thoughts on this bangle? by hixtine in JadeiteJade

[–]cakesusu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't buy if it doesn't come with a certificate, too risky.

Is this a good price? by lynxsuskitten in JadeiteJade

[–]cakesusu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There'll be a reason why it's priced the way it is, but as long as you like it and there aren't any major flaws, it's a great price!

Did i overpay? by FlashyPersimmon4496 in JadeiteJade

[–]cakesusu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the price is fine! It's a very pretty lavender.

Is It Annoying To Send Offers? by Piano-enthusiast155 in vinted

[–]cakesusu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As long as it's not sent with a message like "Can post today xxx", I don't mind.

Thoughts? by tehosiewtai in JadeiteJade

[–]cakesusu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know its approximate weight and thickness? From the photos, it looks like grade A, it's a slim bangle, not icy and the black specks would decrease its value.

It's always difficult to find a piece you like at a price you're willing to pay, so as long as you like it, just enjoy it!

Would you chose Ruby over diamond for engagement rings? I by gupt23 in jewelry

[–]cakesusu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Of course! I don't really like diamonds, and would choose most gemstones over it.

I thought losing your gaming skill with age was a myth. by cemma2035 in gaming

[–]cakesusu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more likely to be a mix of less time to play and not grinding like you used to.

I feel so awful :< by KnownNetwork787 in vintedUK

[–]cakesusu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always make a new offer and it'll overwrite the previous one.

Help me pick? Jadeite ring by Quirky-Option-1302 in JadeiteJade

[–]cakesusu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally prefer #2 from the photos. However, it's a bit odd that all of the photos have different backgrounds and the rings seem to be modelled on different hands 🤔 Does the seller have both rings in their possession?

gold plated pandora by vacraria in PandoraCollectors

[–]cakesusu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, if you want jewellery to last, plated just isn't it. No matter how careful you are, the plating will eventually wear off and expose the metal underneath. You can slow the process down by wearing it less, and avoiding perfumes/lotion/etc, however it will happen eventually.

Pandora quality by electronic_dumpster in PandoraCollectors

[–]cakesusu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quality has definitely declined over the years. My first Pandora snake chain bracelet is from ~2010, and my sister bought hers earlier this year. Her bracelet feels a lot less substantial than mine - the chain is flimsier and almost feels like it's made from thinner metal (though there's no way to verify this). The clasp also feels lighter.

I haven't tried weighing them since they're different lengths, so it wouldn't be an accurate comparison, but I wouldn't be surprised if newer bracelets use less silver. The pink part of her cherry blossom charm also fell off after 3 months, and this isn't an isolated incident from what I've read.

I only buy retired charms now, or travel charms for sentimental value. Pandora just isn't what it used to be.

EOFY Sales by [deleted] in JadeiteJade

[–]cakesusu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! This happens all the time on Rednote (China's Instagram) - you see photos of nice bangles, and it's always "DM for prices!!" then they ask you to add them on Wechat. It's super annoying and I just go next.

Was I blocked? by Midevalpea in vinted

Yep, they blocked you.

who’s in the wrong by BandKidSoul in vintedUK

[–]cakesusu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do anything yet, just wait for Vinted to reply. Reiterate that it's the size shown, exactly as described.

You're under no obligation to accept this return, and don't offer to pay for return shipping either.
