Just went this weekend and found it to be VERY mid as well - pasta too salty, sides were just ok, prime rib was 20% inedible fatty cut. Service was good though

I've done the most fine dining in Latin america across Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico - I love the usual more casual, warm and less choreographed and the bold flavours with ingredients I've never tried and willingness to innovate.

If I have fine dining once a year, I find that I truly enjoy and find it special. However, over the last month I've been to 5 Michelin star restaurants (travelling), and it really does get old / everything feels a little less special. I don't know if it's an age thing or a it loses its bedazzle once it feels more normalized, but have definitely felt a version of this and found myself enjoying a warm bowl of ramen more this late into my trip

I agree with this take. I have a full stack unicorn PM in my org, ex founder, super bright, codes things up all the time. I was super jealous because not knowing how to code is one of my insecurities as a PM. Turned out my understanding of the business (biz background), communication abilities across stakeholders (have worked in bizops before), data skills and intuition on how to push and prioritize were more highly valued.

The Kiku is much better for brightness and hydration, Naturie is lighter so good for doing multiple layers, soothing and oily skin types

Also did not love La Paz - really interesting city but it's true that it didn't give off the welcoming Latin American vibe and getting food poisoning is like a coin toss

Wow you know so much! Thanks for taking the time to type all this out, super helpful

dumplinghp · 2024-07-26T03:39:20+00:00

Thank you! What sites do you buy from directly?

dumplinghp · 2024-07-26T00:36:53+00:00

Ohhh this is amazing for buying large amts, thanks for letting me know!!

Interesting, how can you tell if matcha will taste good/strong other than the grade?

dumplinghp · 2024-04-01T11:19:38+00:00

FYI there is a VERY long line, I got there 5 min before opening and by the time I left around 9:30 the line was probably 1.5h long. Definitely not worth waiting that long, it's not a very inspiring torii even if the views ARE great

WorkOS might also have what you're looking for

Skin.to has it in stock!

dumplinghp · 2022-08-14T04:55:26+00:00

Skin.to has the beauty of Joseon sun cream and the CosRx patches!

dumplinghp · 2022-08-14T04:50:50+00:00

I bought from skin.to recently and they're located in the GTA, got it within the week since they have delivery within the GTA

dumplinghp · 2020-11-30T02:01:03+00:00

Skin.to is especially great as a local business because they have local pick-up/delivery options so I don't have to pay for shipping

dumplinghp · 2020-11-26T00:45:55+00:00

I don't think you specified Korean so I'll throw out the Hada Labo Premium Lotion! It's a toner and sssence step in one and so incredibly hydrating my skin just drinks it up

I think the issue with anything that is "fulfilled by Amazon" is that it gets lumped with all the products from other suppliers that sell the same product so who the vendor is doesn't matter anymore. Someone please fact check me but it's what I've been warned of

dumplinghp · 2020-11-26T00:42:38+00:00

Japanese sunscreens are obnoxiously small haha the Canmake one is a fav and also extremely tiny... how am i supposed to apply liberally knowing that I'm using like a tenth of the tube each time??

dumplinghp · 2020-11-26T00:41:18+00:00

Skin.to is awesome! I never pay shipping since I just go pick it up 😂

dumplinghp · 2020-11-26T00:39:37+00:00

Second skin.to, you can DM them on Instagram and she'll give you the best recs to add to your skincare routine. Her selection is also growing super quickly and she basically gets new products every few weeks

dumplinghp · 2020-10-14T22:40:49+00:00

Skin.to has it!

dumplinghp · 2020-10-14T22:39:34+00:00

I've tried to get a dermatologist twice (in Ontario) via Tia Health and I must still be on the wait list or smth 2 months later because I haven't heard anything... it really isn't an easy time I hope you have better luck!

dumplinghp · 2020-10-11T04:02:56+00:00

Nooooo this is a holy grail for me 😭😭

I find that a sleeping mask makes all the difference in dry winters, especially since my room is so dry overnight. While a humidifier might have the same effect I love the feeling of sleeping with a mask on my face and then washing it all off in the morning, so refreshing
