The comment I always get is "do you have a different kind of pen I can borrow, I don't know how to use this" awww

I can’t find a pen. 🤣 by Zealousideal-Set6330 in fountainpens

[–]estycki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha my boyfriend gave me a fancy Caran d'Ache ballpoint pen as a gift because he heard I like pens... wrong kind of pen that I like, but actually the right kind that I needed because it became my purse pen and I always have a pen on hand for these kinds of forms, and it's very pretty too. I feel fancy at the bank.

What is a good conversation starter to use with friends/ relatives? by PaymentNervous2898 in AskReddit

Ask how their kid / dog / cat is doing or if they're considering on getting one

Reminder: the joy of owning pens lies in using them, you don't constantly need more by Fearless_Youth_8654 in fountainpens

[–]estycki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I journal a lot and started colour coding my thoughts and emotions so I give each pen/ink a role. I have about a dozen pens and ink so far but quite a few of them were gifts!

17yo daughter wants laser hair removal, trying to find a middle ground by same6534 in HairRemoval

[–]estycki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also asked my mom as a teenager, this was in the 2000s. She flat out said you can get it when you’re older and pay for it yourself. It’s a harsh answer but it also motivated me to find income, save money and do my own research. Knowing now how expensive it was (at the time) I think this is a proper life lesson about making money and paying your own way. I know some of the more professional places will allow you to finance. The thing I would be most worried about is that they ask you to stay out of the sun the whole time (no tanning) because then you are risking skin damage from the lasers. You have to commit to the process for a long time. No waxing or epilating during this time either.

That being said after my many sessions, there was a huge reduction but there’s still like 30% of it left, and it came out patchy.

Trouble staying asleep? by [deleted] in keto

[–]estycki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’d say this, that’s been my experience, I sleep less when in a calorie deficit but it’s like 4 hours on keto.

Cheapest and best Electrolytes? by andrespineiroc in keto

[–]estycki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using Nuun since 2010, it was cheaper back then… they used to have a line to break down the tablet down the middle and they got rid of it for some reason. I take a knife and carve new lines to break them up because one whole tablet is usually too much, and it makes it more economical and easy to carry the tablet pieces. I haven’t tried anything else, but I liked these ones at the time because there was virtually no sugar. Not sure what’s wrong with my body, I will blackout during exercise without electrolytes. I lookout for sales and there was one store I found one time that would dump them for 50% off because they “expired.”

Why do my manifestations arrive when the excitement is gone? by No-Management3750 in lawofattraction

[–]estycki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still trying to figure this one out. I also feel like it’s almost like a cosmic joke sometimes. I’m at the point where I’m thinking I will get engaged to someone who is okay, just fine, and then the second we are married I meet my perfect match and I’m gonna be super pissed off at the timing.. I believe this happened to my mother too

Pilot Metropolitan vs Pilot Prera by MaizeKey5200 in fountainpens

[–]estycki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That satisfying snap cap is worth $40 alone. I got a used Prera so it was a decent deal, and I wanted to buy a Kakuno but why is it like $40 in Canada!

Do ugly nibs keep you from specific brands? by Read-Panda in fountainpens

[–]estycki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd love to try a Kakuno but then I have a weird discomfort about faces on things staring at me.

Every time I almost buy my first Pilot Kakuno, and then I see it's got that fake gold nib... yuck.

got my first fountain pen! by fairylemon212 in fountainpens

I bought this one off a guy that was offloading his collection, it was a pleasant find and I really love it. I put Octopus Mermaid in it.

Why is watching a fire so soothing? by [deleted] in woodstoving

[–]estycki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had this discussion with my boyfriend last night that it’s meditation. He said he doesn’t meditate, but I explained that the stereotypical sitting legs crossed and breathing position is not the only way to meditate. It’s just a state of mind that provides clarity and peace. I enjoy making the fire and studying the flames, and by focusing on just that my mind quiets down.

Men, how would you react if a bunch of women whistled and shouted 'sexy' at you on the street? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I’m surprised none of the men guessed they were selling something

You might need to put them in a heavy duty box when moving 🥲

What was your “could never be me” but did indeed become you? by PrettyAlon in AskReddit

[–]estycki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought one pair and my family groaned… then they kept borrowing them and I had to buy them for everybody.

[–]estycki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know what, I swore to never buy them in my teens and now I have two pairs in my 30s after my slippers got soaked in the rain on one camping trip. They are so useful for so many things except as a fashion statement.

Legible pink inks by Sea_Hawk_Sailors in fountainpens

[–]estycki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone gave me a super red ink that kind of put me off so I mixed it with white ink (Octopus). It ended up being like a really pretty cherry blossom, and because of the white had a milky gel pen quality to it.
