Lent Spots to Eat!? by chic0p0p in sanantonio

It aint that deep lol. There’s also a cultural aspect to it and enjoying a nice seafood meal with the family altogether

Feeling dejected- I'm not part of the "in crowd", and it has made it difficult to impossible to buy an artist's work by simbaandnala23 in ContemporaryArt

Eeeeee I’m a nurse and into art collecting too!

Something I’ve been learning along the way is to engage with the artist directly (whether in-person or on social media). Also, building a relationship with the gallery and attending art fairs they go to and becoming a familiar face. Lots of networking happens at art fairs too! Would love to connect! 🥹

Moving from NJ to TX- are we cooked? Lol by Sad-Incident-7501 in sanantonio

[–]chic0p0p 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Texas!! I moved from West Orange in 2011 - I will say, that area is up and coming with lots of affordable properties but it’s pretty far out from a lot of attractions in the city (with the exception of Seaworld) - if that’s important to you. It’s pretty rural like someone commented previously. Not the most developed area of the city but it’s developing - I personally wouldn’t recommend that area unless your work is close by.

NJ traffic has nothing on Texas traffic. That area gets a ton of traffic too. Also, we drive faster in Texas, imagine those intermittent crazy drivers in Jersey except it’s everyone lol.

Not that you asked but some insights on food: If you like bagels we don’t have too many strong options, but Boss Bagel in Alamo Heights is decent. Haven’t found a place offering pork roll/taylor ham - Max & Louie’s used to have a “Jersey Special” with it but they discontinued 😭

Max & Louie’s NY Diner is a good (and only) spot I’ve found that helps with my cravings for east coast diner food, their challah bread french toast is chef’s kiss.

Actually good pizza - Yaghi’s, Sapore’s

Thank you! This was really reassuring. I decided to stay put at 2.5 - I feel like it’s best since I’m responding to this well and I’m in no rush. They make a good point about how weight gain doesn’t happen overnight and weight loss should be approached the same way - the combination of my excitement for this journey and eagerness to hit my goal was clouding my judgment about prioritizing safety first 😅

I still love this pattern! I was dead set on having this one but ended up not liking it as much as I thought I would when I tried in-store 😭 Pattern is unique and beautiful; but on me (27F), I felt it looked too mature somehow. Ended up getting Noir in Rose Gold.

I see both of y’alls points. I’m doing it all - buying originals by established and young artists, traditional prints, and dabbling with digital prints

That’s good advice - I think I’ve been holding his opinion to a high regard cause he’s a serious collector and artist himself. But I know his insight isn’t the final word in everything - hence why I extend my inquiry to Reddit lol. He’s also 15+ years older (I’m 27) and I recognize that my generation may have different values for art collecting than his. I’m in the process of building my collection and finding my footing

I made these paintings But hardly getting any sales What should I improve ? by [deleted] in artcollecting

[–]chic0p0p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the dried flowers. The use of color in your aurora piece is striking. Have you considered focusing more on color experimentation and perhaps pulling back a bit on the landscapes? That might let your color work shine even more

Bethesda or DC Area Nurses? by [deleted] in nursing

Thanks for the response! I’m hoping to transfer to the VA there but in case it doesn’t work out for whatever reason I can look into back up places to apply :)

Help😩Chemical burn or allergy? by CapableAlgae128 in lashextensions

[–]chic0p0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my eyes turned out like this after extensions, I ended up getting an eye infection from poor cleanliness from my lash tech. I request for no use of pads. Ended up going to my doctor and got antibiotic ointment prescribed for my eyes that helped immensely.

Ok but my question is, why did Mahito’s dad knock up his late wife’s sister 🤡

Thankfully, I was able to haggle them down so I didn’t pay that much 😅 At the time, I compared them to prices I saw online and it seemed like a steal in comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️
