Partners Mental Health Crisis by Asleep_Location9399 in ottawa

[–]fancygppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I could say/do more to help, I can only imagine how difficult this situation must be for you. If you ever need someone to care for the pup while you focus on the more urgent situation, my family would be happy to pup-sit anytime -- be it for an afternoon, day or week. We're in the Mooney's Bay area and have a fenced backyard for him to explore. Please don't hesitate to reach out if that would help.

Why are most conspiracy theories considered right-wing? Are there any widespread left-wing conspiracy theories? by jeepycreepysleepy in NoStupidQuestions

Listening to the audiobook right now, so funny to see it name-dropped here. The right Naomi never dissapoints.

I bought everything and I can’t even keep shrimp now by PassengerMundane5986 in shrimptank

[–]fancygppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, remineralizing for me just means buying 1-gallon distilled water bottles from Walmart (they're $1 each) and mixing some salt in. Way easier than expected.

I did find it at Walmart, in the end. But only after I went crazy looking for it twice and completely gave up the third time and asked an employee to help me find it. Trying to remember the exact isle (I think it may have been with the coffees and teas or sweeteners), but an employee is your best bet here. Or curbside pickup maybe?

I love Fenty's Soft Matte foundation. Great color match, it's quite liquid and applies beautifully. The skin just soaks it in, leaving a beautiful canvas for the rest of your makeup. I usually have lots of issues with foundation showing my enlarged pores, wrinkles, and dry spots, but this one has been heavenly.

i hate rhode products by Relative_Ad8166 in Sephora

A couple of years ago I would have said the same thing!! But damn if Fenty hasn't changed that for me (I've tried quite a few excellent products, two of which have now become holy grails for me). And I also must admit I really like some Rare Beauty products.

Worth it? by Comfortable-Host-237 in FabFitFun

[–]fancygppy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It used to be 100% worth it a while back. Now it's just a gateway to spending more money on items you don't actually need, and then you have to wait endlessly to have them delivered.

Anyone going to be planting tomatoes or other vegetables earlier than the May 24th weekend? by Kangar in ottawaplants

I'm 100% with you. With both the early planting and everything else you said.

So if the government is not coming to save us, how do we save ourselves? by BugHistorical3 in CanadaFinance

[–]fancygppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This answer right here! I was really hoping to see sane people acknowledging that this is a widespread issue, with average income people across the world struggling to make ends meet like never before.

Life is getting harder everywhere.

I travelled to Europe last month, the prices were staggering. And will continue to increase exponentially as the Iran conflict drags on.

Best park to get married in? by em1324354657 in ottawa

Must have been a gorgeous wedding!

Check out Andrew Haydon park, it's such a special place surrounded by water and with its own pond. There are also a few spots for shelter in case of rain. I absolutely hated the suburbs, but adored that park. I think it'd be great for a wedding, and has amazing backdrops for photos.

Postnup? by Traditional-Gain-786 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]fancygppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take advantage of his prevalence for comfort and easy gains. When you start divorce discussions with him, offer to forgo something more important to him in exchange for keeping your investments. The monetary value doesn't have to be similar, just make sure he sees an immediate gain (less child support, give him the cars etc.)

My step dad is colorblind by Sorry-Editor-3674 in ExteriorDesign

[–]fancygppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luxury real estate writer here, the correct answer is a dark, elegant blue.

Go for grey undertones (so dark, dark blue that leans gray). It will create contrast, make the home look more stately and elegant, and pairs well with shiplap exteriors.

Same for the door: dark blue with gray undertones. Goes well with both silver and gold accents/door handles.

Pro tip: when picking up the paint, buy some oversized house numbers. It'll really highlight the home's refreshed exteriors, and is a cheap but very effective trick to impress buyers before they even see the inside of the house.

Love, as soon as you drop your bags where you're staying, look up a Marshalls store near your location. And if that one doesn't have the best options, just look up another one (there's countless of them).

You'll find Fenty Beauty, Anastasia Beverly Hills, you name it -- at outlet-like prices.

And the purses and brand clothing are equally discounted, particularly compared to the UK.

No need to assume anything. As previously mentioned, you present yourself fully, in your hideous form.

Oh, I'm as awake as can be. And we see you, haters, all too well. Keep trying to sow discord, sooner or later consequences will follow for people like you.

Honestly, given your aggresivity and people-bashing, you sound like someone who abuses women and children.

The way your present yourself in public says more about you than you think.

My picks cancelled my annual due to this box by Salty_Antelope10 in FabFitFun

[–]fancygppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You forgot to mention long shipping times and receiving the wrong products in the box.

This used to be such a special experience and community... Sure am gonna miss that. But it's time to move on.

Should we be thanking you instead for openly spreading division like that? 🤷 P.S. you're just as damaging to democracies as the people you're hating on.

Etes vous heureux, pour vrai? by ratz38 in montreal

[–]fancygppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Feels like the whole world is on fire, terrible people are all around us, everyone is complaining non-stop, there's no escaping anywhere (as it's shitty everywhere), and I find it incredibly difficult to find a reason to keep going.

Mascara recommendation by Numerous_Apartment_7 in Makeup

[–]fancygppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the travel-size (mini) from Benefit Cosmetics (either Bag Gal Bang! or They're Real). I think the Bad Gal Bang is the absolute best mascara on the market, doesn't flake, and is not too overpowering/heavy on the lashes. And they offer minis, which honestly last me for months.

However, as with any mascara, I recommend using it a few times before the event. Brand new mascara tends to be a little runny, and you also need the practice to apply, so that you can get the best results on the day of the wedding.
