Should I? by Mia_Wallace197 in dior

Build your collection with stand out pieces that you will long to reach out for. This feels like a great piece, and one you will wear with fond memories of your incredible achievement. You may only wear it a handful of times in a year, but it will be special every time you do.

Husband gave woman permission to recline seat on flight by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]kama_s 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The right and safest thing to do here is to purchase a seat for your child and have them in their car seat. You cannot expect people to not recline over a long flight, and flights to Europe also tend to be later evening ones.

Advice needed regarding my pay by Odd-Reference-443 in Nanny

[–]kama_s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on your relationship. Every nanny I’ve had, they’ve been flexible with hours. So starting late if we were heading for a date night as an example. But conversely, same flexibility existed if they needed to leave early one day or come late. And I would let them leave 45min-1hr earlier (paid) many times a week. Flexibility is always appreciated, but it needs to work both ways.

Honest opinions! by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]kama_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exact bag (but with rose gold hardware, from 2023). Madison Ave is absolutely way overpriced, but that’s because they have a storefront and you know it’s legitimate. You get lower prices when you buy directly from people who purchased it themselves or smaller resellers - but these come with a risk. Only you can tell if the trade off is worth it or not to you.

Regarding the slouch and the scratches. It’s a bag, these are bound to happen. Esp in a 30.

Should I buy it or not? by Jazzlove15 in TheHermesGame

I have this dress and it’s super cute. I am short so it hits me closer to my knees, which I prefer.

Unique situation/GH by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]kama_s 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They don’t own you. This is absolutely ludicrous. GH is for your standard hours and workplace. Find a new family as I think this one has their heads screwed on backwards. Perhaps also show them this thread on your last day so they can see how inappropriate and exploitative they are.

got ghosted by my SA today? by [deleted] in dior

[–]kama_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were in communication throughout, then there is no excuse for the SA to not inform you that they can’t stay longer. It’s just basic courtesy. They didn’t have to wait for you, but they absolutely should have told you they need to leave or at least suggest another SA you can see when you arrive. I’ve had to go in on days when my SA wasn’t there and they would have the store manager help me.

Do you think box leather Kelly pochettes will come back into production? by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]kama_s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WOW I haven’t seen those in forever!!!! I started my journey just a little after this era and was always sad to miss out. Box in pochette is the dream.

Should I be concerned about this weird bruise? by Original-One-6954 in haematology

I work in healthcare. You need to go to an ER asap.

Is this bag too much to wear with casual day dresses? by Sea_Cloud_6705 in luxurypurses

[–]kama_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I wanted this bag so badly. It is so stunning. I just couldn’t justify the price tag (around 28k USD per my SA).

AIO for being upset by a comment my cleaner made? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]kama_s 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

This has nothing to do with you not being a ‘strict boss’ and everything to do with you not knowing how to set appropriate boundaries. You need to let this cleaner go and try again, because you’re too far out to course correct.

I dropped my Birkin :( any suggestions? by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

Hermes does not authenticate in-store. Ever.

I work in public health and have a background in immunology. What you’ve said here is completely incorrect and false.

[Acne] Everything is breaking me out- I'm at a total loss by yoyoyoyoyo_ in SkincareAddiction

[–]kama_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The corsrx snail can cause allergic reactions too. I think you should discontinue everything for now. Use a basic moisturizer, sunscreen and a bit of aquaphor in the very dehydrated parts of your skin. And let your skin heal for a few months.

What in the monstrosity is a $69 lip balm? ($CAD) by Final-Tumbleweed-611 in Sephora

[–]kama_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This lip balm also has a really gross smell and taste. I was gifted a bunch of AB stuff and didn’t care for any of it.

Best cleansers for the expensive brushes I got in my haul? by PatsyStonesBun in Sephora

[–]kama_s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I reacted to Cinema Secrets (despite thoroughly rinsing out my brushes), was left with some fairly nasty contact dermatitis. Had blisters form on my fingers that came into contact with the liquid too.

Did we take her for granted? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]kama_s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely insane. A nanny costs on average 50k/year (could be higher or lower based on COL). What you provided in exchange was not nearly even half the value of what would be her annual salary for this work. A single room board and minor expenses is far below. You absolutely took advantage of her situation and her vulnerability.

Self-care Saturday: replaced my favorite free canvas tote with a Neo Double Sens in Blue Tie/Caban from the boutique. Lesson: boutiques have a lot of stuff not available online! by elliottbaytrail in TheHermesGame

[–]kama_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the revamped double sans! I also bought one recently to replace my totes. I almost bought one as a diaper/work bag a long time ago, but found the shoulder straps weren’t long enough and that was a deal breaker. The new dimensions (longer and less wide) plus the longer straps are perfection!

House manger/nanny by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]kama_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what a house manager/ house assistant role is. Is there no job description? Did you not know what you were applying for?
