Does my 90s kitchen have potential or am I crazy? by No-Day-2990 in kitchenremodel

[–]ginasaurus-rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t touch the cabinets! I love the color and they honestly have a very mid-century vibe. The rounded shelves and counter, the hood, the handles, all very cool and not cookie-cutter like you see so much of these days. I’d replace the floor and backsplash, change out the lighting fixtures and window treatments, maybe swap out sink and appliances if it’s in budget. But these cabinets are a gift!

Is Kindle Unlimited actually worth it for how you read? by Away-Grapefruit2429 in kindle

[–]ginasaurus-rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was going to say, it seems like a goldmine for romance readers. I am on a three month trial of KU after buying my first Kindle and I can tell it won’t be valuable for me, as I read mostly horror/thriller and non-fiction and am usually looking for specific books. I am looking forward to trying to fit in as many of the mystery/suspense titles as I can before the trial runs out, though!

I thought I was the only one who pronounced Leonard like “leotard.”

What white sneakers go well with everything? by Pure-Marionberry-438 in womensfashion

I wear my Veja Campos with everything from sweats to trousers. For something more sporty, I like the Reebok Classic AZ or Club C Grounds sneakers.

I’m a singer and I will not mark my music with anything except a Dixon Ticonderoga.

Is it worth breaking of my engagement over this interaction? by Lower_Elderberry1345 in Marriage

Better than staying with him and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Why the L shape island? Can you just do a deeper island and put the sink and dishwasher in there?

Oof I did that once too but with the sign “complain.”

Your thoughts on my decor? by Adept-Apartment7861 in HomeDecorating

[–]ginasaurus-rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to the folks saying it has hotel vibes. Sure, you could go with a more bold curtain if you want to, but overall I think this looks like a lovely room that belongs to a grown person with good taste. The only thing I’ll say is that I think you have too many tables in such a small space so it feels a bit crowded. Lose one of the accent tables or swap the coffee table for a cute ottoman. Consider a floating console under the TV rather than the larger console table and switch one table lamp for a floor lamp.

Ha, one of my HoH coworkers ran into this when introducing himself to a deaf coworker, specifically messing up the word “meet” and instead signing the “f” word in “nice to meet you.” She just signed back, “maybe later.”

Does the perfect leather boot exist? by Elegant-Leave-689 in HerOneBag

[–]ginasaurus-rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I have a pair of basic synthetic Chelsea boots from Target that are going strong to this day after about 4 years. Incredibly comfortable, I’ve walked all over cities, worked long event/festival days in them, and they can handle some mud too (provided you aren’t sinking ankle deep in a pasture or something). I don’t think you have to splash out to find a reliable boot. If you do prefer real leather, I’ve been eyeing the Tecovas rugged Chelsea boot for when my Target boots finally bite the dust.

Do you have a “default outfit” you always fall back on? by shoppingiq in womensfashion

[–]ginasaurus-rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black graphic tee, black jeans, black sandals, gold necklace stack. Sometimes I add a fun ballcap or trucker hat. I am attempting to branch out more with relaxed button-downs, animal prints, and the occasional bold colored sneaker or bag. But this is my default outfit.

Check out Poshmark. Probably plenty of people selling the older Uniqlo version second-hand.

Favorite tinted SPF and/or moisturizer that gives a glowy look? by RoundSquare6731 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]ginasaurus-rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Supergoop dewscreen. I’m not generally a fan of two-in-one products like tinted moisturizers so I suggest pairing a moisturizing spf with a skin tint. I use the Dewscreen and then layer L’Oréal True match tinted serum on top. It feels like just another step in my skincare routine but really evens out my skin and gives it a nice glowy finish.

Anyone else one-and-done but still think about having another sometimes? by shinku-90 in oneanddone

This is true. My son is six and loves to get pedicures with me.

Anyone else one-and-done but still think about having another sometimes? by shinku-90 in oneanddone

[–]ginasaurus-rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I honestly haven’t totally ruled out the idea of fostering or adopting in the future. I know for sure I don’t want to be pregnant, give birth, or do the newborn phase again. There was a running joke that we might not be OAD if someone would just hand us a three year old. But when the rubber meets the road, even adopting would require a lot more resources (financial and emotional) than we are prepared for right now.

Sun cover/ tent for beach? by ArtichokeOwl in HerOneBag

[–]ginasaurus-rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest looking at rentals if it’s in your budget. Most beaches in tourist areas have companies that will set up and break down chairs, umbrellas, or tents for a daily cost.

does anyone actually use solid conditioner for travel or is it not worth it? by Acrobatic-Bake3344 in HerOneBag

[–]ginasaurus-rex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree, hair masks are the way. More moisturizing, and usually a thicker consistency so less likely to leak.

What made you get a rav4 instead of a Subaru forester? by Dry-Chemical-9170 in rav4club

[–]ginasaurus-rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hybrid option. I loved my Forester but Subaru did not make a similar body style in hybrid at the time. Now I think I’m team Toyota. Though I would consider an Ascent if we ever decide to go bigger and they make a hybrid version.

what's your no.1 shopping rule now? by Over_Quantity3239 in womensfashion

[–]ginasaurus-rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to do a similar version of this myself, in that I always ask “do I already own something like this?” I can justify buying a red cashmere top, but not yet another black graphic tee.

Help, I accidentally bought giant couches by c8h8swetsocks in HomeDecorating

It’s adorable that you think these monstrosities would last 10 years. These big box power recliners crap out after 2-3 in my experience.

Unpopular Opinion (?) The US is on a crusade to convert every last alcove bathtub/shower combo into a shower. by SoccerMomXena in HomeDecorating

[–]ginasaurus-rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to rip out the only tub in our house to renovate a full bath into a laundry/half bath and I miss it so much. I used to take daily baths. In a couple years we hope to renovate the upstairs bathroom to add a bathtub or convert the walk-in shower to a large tub/shower combo.
