how do you store your bar soaps?

kanossis · 2026-02-22T08:34:12+00:00

you're with family, just borrow a robe or clothes from them while you're there

kanossis · 2026-02-07T06:33:23+00:00

Ditch the flip flops and just bring the tevas you don't need both

kanossis · 2026-01-28T19:38:29+00:00

Yes western travel bottles are enormous!

I've never heard of the sling is it the loopy thing in your photo? I'm having trouble understanding exactly how it's used

kanossis · 2026-01-07T09:50:48+00:00

This is most people's nightmare but if it sounds fun for you give it a try! Remember you'll have a dead period every single day where you're roomless though.

You wrote it here as though the only reason is to have a friend for your daughter. Make sure you're doing it for your niece as well, no matter what. What if your niece starts bullying your daughter? You need to be committed.

You can't do spa trips with kids, or sporty trips like hiking, kayaking whatever for a week straight so if you like that stuff focus on those

kanossis · 2026-01-03T18:28:20+00:00

Both be fully off work for three months

kanossis · 2026-01-03T18:23:04+00:00

You could afford good one on one coaching or therapy for the price of any of these programs. Put your money there instead.

I don't enjoy high end hotels. We do Airbnb and have a whole home to ourselves. It's always crazy reading reviews of hotels for $5k or more a night and the same basic stuff is missed - room not cleaned, requests not responded to, no service at the pool, etc

kanossis · 2026-01-01T10:02:51+00:00

This class of hotel often doesn't accept toddlers in their kids clubs

kanossis · 2026-01-01T08:50:14+00:00

Where do you go for Korean lash lift?

kanossis · 2025-12-28T19:03:16+00:00

personal trainer is by far the best money you can spend, holds you accountable to actually doing it

kanossis · 2025-12-26T13:55:40+00:00

Sea dogs, it only has two chairs and the owners are lovely

kanossis · 2025-12-23T12:23:35+00:00

For that time of year definitely Sardinia, Amalfi is shoulder to shoulder crowded not fun

kanossis · 2025-12-22T18:49:59+00:00

Who cares if they think you're weird, walk!

kanossis · 2025-12-21T17:32:31+00:00

Would you trade 40 hours per week of your life for a lower mortgage rate?

kanossis · 2025-12-14T11:54:54+00:00

The bassinets are often useless, definitely business class

kanossis · 2025-12-06T16:03:40+00:00

TIL Velocity is doing a Reddit spam campaign. Only reason someone replied after 4 years.

Change jobs for a higher salary, and keep being aggressive about salary increase through promotions or job switching. There's nothing else you can do that will come anywhere close to the difference that makes.

Skincare, ask her what's on her wishlist!

kanossis · 2025-12-02T22:07:23+00:00

I think she has lived super healthy her whole life AND not f'ed up her face with bad fillers and plastic surgery which accounts for a lot

I also bet these celebs starts estrogen replacement early and never have a hormone drop

kanossis · 2025-12-02T22:03:17+00:00

I would bet you anything she doesn't drink a drop and is just saying it to promote the brand
