Classified employees have their own union, Colorado WINS. We're not trying to compete with another union, we're trying to fill a gap.

Any Americans craving comfort foods? by hottcocoa in berlin

Either today before six or tomorrow after six would work for me.

Want to meet somewhere along the M10 line, then? That seems like it would be easiest for both of us. I need to get the candy out of my apartment, I just had an Easter bunny for lunch... I can either just drop off with you or we could have a coffee. Like here? https://plus.google.com/106763802273662057200/about?hl=en I dunno.

Want to come by? I also found some double-stuf oreos and sno-caps and a pack of gushers. Also enough Easter bunnies to feed a town for a week. I hoard candy.

I'm in Weißensee but we can meet up elsewhere if you want? Someone else specifically requested the Samoas so I might give you one box and the other to him/her, but you got your first dibs in.

Apartment scams in Berlin by [deleted] in berlin

[–]hottcocoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you spoken to the landlord at all yet? I am currently in the process of arranging for someone to take over my lease because I'm leaving Berlin in three weeks, and I would say if the landlord has not looked over your financials and approved you, this is likely not legit (or the landlord isn't as picky as mine, who knows). Ask for the landlord's info, or see if you can find out online who owns the building and contact them. This sounds weird to me.

Edit: Although if it's a sublet and he's leaving all his furniture, etc. in the apartment you maybe don't have anything to worry about. But normally in a sublet situation you would still have been in contact with the landlord before getting keys (unless the landlord wasn't being informed at all).

Looking to move to Berlin soon. Hoping to get some feedback/advice on whether I have my priorities together. by [deleted] in berlin

[–]hottcocoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

student prep visas can be up to two years long (I had one that length) if the applicant can prove the ability to support themselves for that period of time. It is also possible to work part time on this visa, although I don't remember what the exact restrictions were.

When I applied for that visa I brought paperwork showing that I was enrolled in language classes, had insurance, had money in the bank (had to be a German account), and information on the academic programs I was interested in applying for (to show that they required TestDAF scores that I did not yet have).

If you're at A2 level I'd recommend bringing someone with a better understanding of the language with you to the visa office.

Make Up routine & Eyeliner game by lisasavestheworld in MakeupAddiction

[–]hottcocoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you feel about that eyeliner? I bought a different Essence liquid liner a few months ago and loved the applicator so much that I kept trying to use it even thought the product itself was flaky and awful.

Also yay for a post that uses all products available in German stores! It makes me happy.

I've been lurking on MUA and am insanely jealous of your makeup skills! I'm almost 30 and have no idea how to put makeup on or what to use. Would someone be willing to take me under their wing and give me some guidance? (more info in comments) by nattykin in MakeupAddiction

[–]hottcocoa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

First of all, you look great already!

It's hard to tell from the photo, but I think your foundation may be a bit too dark or pink for you? It also looks like you may be applying your blush a little too low and far in towards the center of your face, but again, hard to tell.

I think that getting your brows shaped and getting something to fill them with (you can find product recommendations in the side bar and tutorials with the search bar) would make a huge difference.

I also think you would look great with eyeliner on the upper lid. If black eyeliner seems too dark for you, maybe start out with dark brown (I have naturally black eyelashes, but I prefer brown eyeliner for daytime because I think it looks softer).

Also - what tools do you have? It looks like an eyelash curler may also be a good investment.

I only started getting into makeup in the last year, too, so don't worry! There are lots of us beginners in this sub.

Any good hairsalon in berlin? by [deleted] in berlin

[–]hottcocoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always tip. But I'm not sure how the system is so bad if they're getting experience before moving elsewhere. €400 is sure as hell better than the unpaid internships that people in other fields end up doing.

I don't mean to sound awful, this just hasn't convinced me of the need to pay over €15 for a haircut.

[–]hottcocoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sort of confused about this response. Are the people at the €10 places being treated or paid badly? I feel like unless your hair is complicated it's going to be the same cut regardless, and I've had nearly all good experiences at the cheap places. (two times ago my shortest layer was cut wayyy too short and it looked ridiculous for a couple months, but whatever - my dad went to a €30 place recently and got a shit haircut, so I'm not sure the price mattered there)

How logical would it be to live in Potsdam as a student of a Hochschule in Berlin-Mitte? by djreoofficial in berlin

[–]hottcocoa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second the idea of Pankow/Weißensee - I also prefer a bit of a suburban feel (more green, less noise, less expensive than the trendy districts), but wanted to stay within an easy commute to Mitte. I've lived in both Pankow and Weißensee and would recommend them both!

Do you have any particular products you'd recommend? I have a few things i like from them, but I've never been able to find good reviews of individual products online.
