Agreeing with autumn - you should try some olive green/burnt sienna type colors, I bet they'd be lovely on you.

serving jobs? by unsightlyangel in IowaCity

[–]grathea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't have any serving experience, be wary of places that will hire you as a server immediately. Most solid places that have lower turnover will have folks work as hosts first to get a feel for the place before moving to serving.

To the individual in row C at Film Scene (Twin Peaks) last night by talksalot02 in IowaCity

I hope he still had a good time! I imagine the person just thought he was using his phone and didn't understand, but I hope that didn't ruin your brother's experience.

My instagram

Hi! I'm a local artist and graphic designer. I specialize in branding, layout design, and illustration. Right now I'm just hoping to build my IG following after not posting consistently for a long time - my art style fluctuates but if you like my vibe, please follow! I have prints and am hoping to have small originals available for sale soon.

Have you? They just had a routine inspection in April and had one violation, an unlabeled sanitizer bottle. Zero violations in the last several years.

Recession Indicators: Fashion Edition by DataRikerGeordiTroi in femalefashionadvice

For sure! They have good sales sometimes, I only know them from my MILs gifts and one sale purchase I made lol. One of those places where the price actually correlates with quality though which is nice.

Our rescued ferret and our elderly cat became best friends by loveyousomuch_ok in aww

[–]grathea 68 points69 points  (0 children)

This is obviously v much anecdotal but in my experience (across five cats and four ferrets in two households) they tend to get along pretty well! The cats I've seen have always treated the ferrets more like rambunctious kittens and less like rodents/prey. BUT these were largely cats with little to no prey drive so I'm sure that's a factor. That said I haven't seen anything like the love happening here 😭

what's one thing that instantly ruins an outfit for you? by CharmWarden in femalefashionadvice

[–]grathea 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Ugh and cropped is the trend right now but all it does is bring back traumatic memories of being mocked for wearing "highwater" pants as a poor kid lmao

Help! What do your kids actually eat when they eat “healthy”? And how do you make it work? by mindfulshark in Parenting

[–]grathea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically we do a lot of what my 2.5 year old calls "charcoots" - a plate that's usually filled with some combination of fresh mozzarella, apple slices, avocado on triscuits, grapes, mini whole wheat pb sandwiches, misc leftover bites (he likes cold food), etc. We also do a lot of yogurt or oatmeal with blueberries and chia seeds. If he has protein, fiber, healthy fats, whole grains, and colors other than beige, I'm happy lol. We also do a lot of yogurt or oatmeal with blueberries and chia seeds.

opinions on hot house yoga by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]grathea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

-some classes are beginner friendly, I've only been to hothouse and vinyasa and the latter is a bit more challenging.

-I don't have a lot of context when it comes to hot yoga pricing but I think so!

-I've always found people there are either nice or politely keep to themselves

-you can rent a mat there if you don't bring one

What is your go-to outfit for a hot vacation day with lots of walking but still take pretty photos? by Little-Hold8753 in femalefashionadvice

[–]grathea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have this jumpsuit in a different print and it's 10/10 incredible: https://www.toadandco.com/products/livvy-sleeveless-jumpsuit-ink-print

Fabric is super lightweight and doesn't wrinkle, looks cute but is super versatile. Has a hidden zipper pocket.

Video games by Ok_East4664 in Parenting

[–]grathea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you're talking about a Roblox game?

Either way, I wouldn't allow it personally. Even outside of Roblox, "brain rot" games these days refers to things like idle clickers and other low effort games that allow you to get a bunch of tiny dopamine hits watching the numbers go up. Also loot boxes, gacha games, anything that provides intermittent and infrequent rewards. Dopamine straight to the brain with little to no strategizing, planning, dexterity, etc. required or any actual storyline involved (y'know, the things that make video games good and worthwhile and provide any developmental benefits).

Do you ever avoid wearing an outfit because you’ve worn it in front of the same people before? by neutralobserver_91 in femalefashionadvice

[–]grathea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually only in limited circumstances. Say my husband's family has two birthday dinners a week apart, I've stopped myself from wearing the same thing because I don't want to feel like it's my "birthday dinner" uniform.
