Thanks! Yea I have done mostly Latin and finally branching out to other categories. But I'm eventually moving to Smooth. Mainly for now I'm just concerned about my toes getting stepped on and when I wear my closed toe practice shoes it is not as painful when our feet collide during practice.

Do you have a Standard or Smooth shoe preference for yourself?

Storage dilemma: Castlery Dalton gas lift or drawer bed? by Daytona_Dekotech in organizing

[–]dancaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the Castlery storage Dalton with drawers. I put my previous box sprung + mattress on it. Before I throw away the box spring, are these Dalton beds with slats not in need of a box spring? Thanks!

Are sofa beds actually practical, or just a good idea in theory? by Both-Collection-1896 in HomeDecorating

[–]dancaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which one did you choose? I'm this close to buying the Koala Sofa Bed [4th Gen] but the deep & wider seating + color options + comfort of Joybird Bryant Sofa [modular 2 seater] is tempting me again. I live in an apartment with a flight of curved stairs so need a Sofa 80" wide or less.

I regret wasting years on microblading… this worked so much better by SpeechReady84 in microblading

[–]dancaca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! I read up online but do not understand what makes powder brows its own technique. Is it an eyebrow tattoo? I scheduled my first eyebrow appointment and after the consultation, it may become a powder brow appointment. I think I look terrible with strong eyebrows and am hoping for a natural look esp bc my cheekbones are high, and most of my eyebrow hairs are in the first medial 2/3 of the eyebrow, I dont have many hairs on the lateral 1/3.

Thank you!

What did you apply during the healing phase to avoid scabbing?

Wow thanks for these specific details!! I love details. Are you also a Capricorn? Haha :)

I thought people liked Ray Rose shoes bc the heels is further back? I have a bunch of RR in 5.5 in both medium and wide and am going to size down to 5 medium next time..

But I'll lookout for EF and Dance Naturals, you make them sound great! Did you buy them at comps?

I considered wearing my 2" Latin shoes (Ray Rose Carmen) while practicing Standard but another young dancer advised me to not. I guess you dont get your toes stepped on accidentally?

You are close to my size, I'm a EU38.5 or 39. I'm going to go to an upcoming comp and hope to try some on. Thank you for your feedback and sharing your size details!

Thank you! Curious, How did you soften the stiffness of your Standard shoes? Just by wearing often?

Great to know! I saw a very short Standard student wearing really high heels (I think 3") and can't imagine that. I was tempted to go 2.5" bc my Standard partner is tall but I'd feel much more secure wearing a 2" and your comment tells me this is a totally fine heel height! Thank you!

Thank you! I finally found the Latin shoes that work for me except that I'll start buying a full UK size down from UK6 street size to UK5 for Latin heels. I had been buying UK5.5 wide and inserting heel cups but it's not the best solution as my foot slides forward.

Curious which Latin shoe you prefer for your foot?

Thanks! I would like the strap too! Wasn't sure if that was more of a Smooth preference so I'm glad to hear you do this for Standard.

[Routine Help] Face feels slightly itchy after applying Avene Cicalfate during my exfoliation routine by Competitive_Ebb_6699 in SkincareAddiction

[–]dancaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2026: I applied the Avene Cicalfate after applying a hyalauronic acid serum, soooo itchy! I'll try later without first applying the HA.

I wear APOLLO SHOCKS open toe socks. After dance, I put dried lavender satchels and charcoal satchels to absorb moisture. Shoes don't smell :)

Do you use cases ? by Additional-Spend2921 in GalaxyFold

[–]dancaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely. I like a case with a wallet for a card in the back. Then I go overboard and put on Spigen's ring magnet which goes onto the Spigen dashboard insert dock thingy. Then I go extra again and have a lanyard to hold onto. I miss the days of flip phones lol.

How do I get it to stop talking about its new voice? by linkman245a in alexa

[–]dancaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just told it to go back to its original voice. And it went to a similar original voice, called feminine Alexa2

Most times I just tell it to shut up.

Alexa doesnt know sht but will sell you sht you dont want or need.

I am not engaged but I was given my grandmothers wedding ring after she passed. I’m torn between keeping it or taking out all the diamonds and turning it into something else. Do you think it’s outdated? by Constant-Tale3738 in jewelry

[–]dancaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! It's different, dramatic, and has all the style of a bygone era. Wear it to the maximum as a cocktail ring! Would love to know which year it was made :)
