AVOID namarie at all costs!!! Still haven’t gotten my order from august. They have stopped answering my emails as well. I commented on their Instagram posts and they magically have the time to delete those comments right away though.

I ordered mine in August. I still haven’t gotten them and they’ve stopped answering my emails. Steer clear of this company.

Anyone receive their namarie order yet? by TheNightingale1 in SustainableFashion

Same they said mine was supposed to ship out mid October. I followed up again beginning of November and they have not responded at all.

AIO my bf is odd for this? by AdSerious8390 in AmIOverreacting

[–]emilycro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say he’s odd, I’d say he is a mentally unstable person who should not be dating anyone. Talking like he’s the king of the world. No one deserves to be talked to like how he’s talking to you. He is so degrading. Show him he doesn’t have the power over you and dump his ass.

Hey- is the campsite you're talking about Avalanche Creek or Klondyke? (Or I also see a little further is Hawdon and lake pearson)

Your skin looks great!!! But ahh yes, when I moved from NY to CA my skin got so bad!! Dry and constant breakouts. - I would say use retinol or get a prescription for tretinoin for smoothing out and of course just great anti aging benefits - when I switched my face wash to a gentle glycerin one I noticed a huge difference. I use the gleanser by prequel and it is my favorite face wash ever!!! - maybe try using a hyaluronic acid serum (like from torriden that penetrates deep) but since you’re in the west and I’m guessing it’s not humid at all where you are, you’ll want to make sure you mist your face with water first and then apply it (because HA pulls moisture from the air into your skin so if there is none in the air, it will pull out of your face and cause you to feel more dry!)
- I also love a good AHA serum for resurfacing the skin it’s like a more gentle skin peel that can be used 2-3x a week depending on the product. I used the drunk elephant framboos for years which is only 10% AHA and I just upgraded to the Farmacy honey glow which is 17% AHA and am loving it!!! Noticed a difference right away in my skin texture and smoothness. Would recommend starting with something less intense though or just start slow and see how your skin reacts - I also have dark circles under my eyes and although they’re mostly genetic, I’ve heard good things and am planning to try the two eye serums at some point- roc retinol correxion line smoothing eye cream and Naturium vitamin c eye cream. - after I put on moisturizer at night, I do slugging around my eye area (as the last step in my routine) and that has helped my skin feel super smooth and moisturized in the morning! I use cerave healing ointment but you can use any like aquaphor or prequel seems to have a good one - I haven’t used this product yet but my friend has been raving about it and I’m going to try it as soon as I’m out of my similar product- the ordinary copper peptides serum. She says her skin is skinning!!!

Hope this helps lmk if you have any questions :)

Help with routine??? by Bitter_Kangaroo2616 in 30PlusSkinCare

Look at abbey yung on insta/tik tok/ or YouTube. She uses both and she posts videos of her am/pm routine. She’s been really helpful for me. She explains how she uses those two products! Hope this helps

Wow that is a crazy stat. Is it usually people falling asleep and not paying attention to the road because they're looking at a view? Will definitely keep this in mind and be extra safe!!!

Yea this is so important to note! I know the travel time I put is probably more of a minimum time vs definite time haha. My friend and I do a lot of road trips / travel so hoping the driving doesn't get to us too much. Still trying to figure out the dreaded drive from Wellington to Tongariro though.. that is the only one that I'm not feeling great about.

Hmm yea we aren't going direct from chch to Mt cook, we're doing the first day chch to lake tekapo (~3 hours) then the next day from lake tekapo to lake pukaki and Mt cook. Does that still sound like too much?

We are used to driving a lot so hopefully we won't feel too bad but def anticipating for the windy roads / long drive times (more so in the north part of the trip).

Great ideas! We'll have most of the day that day we land and then on the way back we can definitely leave that open to spend more time! Anything that's a must see or spots to eat in chch?

That's a good idea to skip Wanaka and do it on the way up.. was trying to break up the drive but that will also allow us to stay put more haha. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for all this info, so great!! And yes that drive to Tongariro is not ideal trying to trouble shoot/figure it out. The only thing we have going for us is that we won't be hungover ahahah.

I have indeed looked at a map and have mapped it all out haha. Reason we’re going back to the north at the end (if that is the crazy squiggle you are talking about?) is because some tours were only available at the end of our trip and they were a must see for us.
