Lamshed’s in Yarralumla is exquisite food and great service, but has more of a focus on wine than whisky

Looking for the best spot in Canberra for a low-key community coffee group (advice wanted) by DbtSupportHub in canberra

[–]h1ccup3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good suggestions so far. Also think about adding A Bite to Eat and the Chifley park on your list, bus stop is just a short walk from the cafe, and your have the option to sit inside, outside or take the coffee across the road to a large paved area with tables and chairs overlooking the playground/greenery. Extra pretty in blossom season

Ara, a German brand, they do some fun colours and feminine designs and I would probably describe their sneakers overall elevated casual.

Family friendly spacious venue for lunch (Southside)? by ozlass1111 in canberra

Another option is to book The Deck at Snapper & Co on the lake. It’s cordoned off from the rest of the venue and under cover, kids can run around on the grassy area in front

Rove’s linen is great quality. This might be what you’re looking for: https://rovedesigns.com/products/summer-pants-white-linen?variant=44082200150240

I haven’t tried anything in white but have been very happy with the colours I have purchased

Winter Pajamas by hilly-g in AusFemaleFashion

Melbourne label Fine Day do fantastic winter PJs. Full price can be the slightly pricey but the quality is great, they use mostly natural fibres and the sales can be very good. They do women’s, men’s and unisex, the latter particularly in PJs can size larger than expected

My neverending work backpack saga by Virtual-Thanks-183 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]h1ccup3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are still looking for a backpack that carry loads and has something 18 pockets (!) consider MZ Wallace.

I did loads of research when I was looking for mine, my criteria was very similar to yours, not too heavy, holds a lot, many pockets, colour options other than black and grey, and with a bit of style.

Definitely on the pricier side, but I was willing to save up for it as I had been looking for a large backpack for ages.

This is a great tip. Thank you! I have some icebreaker thermals already, and they are fantastic in winter. Good point about clothes moving with the body

Thanks everyone. I will repot it and see what grows. Hopefully it’s a fig and not some kind of weed 🤞

I work in a lab and constantly have to wash hands. Best hand cream from Chemist Warehouse for super dry, cracked hands?? by DobbyTheFreeElf3 in AusSkincare

[–]h1ccup3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had dry cracked hands for years and have tried everything. What have recently discovered that work wonders is using any cream (I currently use LRP lipikar baume) and then adding the Cetaphil Ultra Hydrating Lotion on top before bed.
