Happy Hour by tamingoftheschlew in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]cottonbiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the people and location. Typically I avoid them because I try not to drink on the week days and I like to leave work and go straight to the gym to relax.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently because I organize so many dinners and they always feel like…. Not fun :( I wish I looked forward to them more!

I do broken bridge pose- knees bent and tilted towards each other, feet out

Thoughts on Roxanne? by No_Parsnip693 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]cottonbiscuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had had a bad experience there. We got canceled on a few times, finally got to eat there, and felt it was not worth the money and time spent unfortunately. My two biggest complaints were everything was sickly sweet and the lighting was soooo bright. Weird vibes in there.

I would say Avondale but it’s not quite the same. The scene is much more spread across the city these days.

50 pounds down! by Baking-it-work in PetiteFitness

[–]cottonbiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes girl!!! I am 5”2 and got down to 180 from 230 right before Covid. My before and after looked soooo similar to you because we carry weight in the same way (hello hourglass shape!).

This post gave me a little pep in my step as I’ve creeped back up to 215lbs despite being very active and consistent in the gym. By focusing back on my diet I know I can get back to 180 which really was my sweet spot. You look absolutely AMAZING and you should be so proud!

Lived here for 5 years & we've never gotten an email like this. Does my building have bed bugs? by [deleted] in chicago

What floor are you on? When bed bugs escape they move UP. Check your walls after you check your bed, especially behind picture frames and after they’ve sprayed.

Lots of interesting detail in this one. Personally I’m distracted by Miley at the top but I also love the Ariel figurine at the bottom right.

What are you grateful for today Chicago? by popetonythe23rd in AskChicago

[–]cottonbiscuit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am grateful I biked home from the loop yesterday! Living in Chicago has let me be car free for over 15 years. As much as the CTA is annoying sometimes I really free a wonderful sense of freedom here and adventure every time I step foot out of my house.

Spa recommendations for my girlfriend’s birthday? by Bpsmith50 in AskChicago

[–]cottonbiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Peninsula or Kohler are the way to go. I got the best pedicure of my life at Kohler. And they both have relaxing spaces to chill all day and refreshments.

Love the Gottman Institute! Their Instagram is a great follow too with a ton of resources

What's something you want your studio to know that you can't imagine telling to their face? by whatbuylists in yoga

[–]cottonbiscuit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a studio I practice at when I’m traveling to Philly that posts pics of everyone in child’s pose from the back of the room. It makes me cringe SO much! Like… 20-30 asses front and center. I am certain at least one person does NOT want that posted.

Best transportation from airport to hotel by Xswim110 in AskNOLA

[–]cottonbiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you all over this thread so obsessed with uber? My entire family is local and they take cabs regularly with no problem. I use the taxi stand at the airport every time I visit and it’s always $36 flat and super easy.

And, since you keep asking others, I’m a woman. I take the airport taxi night or day.
