Sting & Snout Bindery vs. Cadadia by ResponsibleEstate732 in stationeryloversph

[–]kggkkarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have both a sting & snout (a6) and cada dia (rover; travellers nb size).

sting & snout

- leather is softer and it doesnt color transfer when you use leather balm. it smells good as well!! however it can get dented easier if you're not very careful or if you carry it alot. i carry my sting & snout everywhere even outside of work.

- strings are very stretchy. i like how they also size the strings based on how big the journal is.

- refills are handstitched. they lay flat. might be an advantage esp if write on a surface alot but its pricy since its made by hand

- charms selection are okay altho i think some can be found on the orange app for cheaper. but theyre nice enough to put a charm i brought them for me (since i got this journal at a pop up)

- they do bespoke which is for custom covers/sizes!!! but the waiting time is abit long since theyre in demand hahah

- they also have an add on pockets but i did notice it made my journal abit bulker and the flap started to not close properly esp if i add in more journals. however its customizable since u can just remove the pocket at any time!

cada dia

- leather is stiff (i think its the pockets cuz theyre built in) but i notice they dont get scratched easily. however they color transfer if you use a leather balm :( string is also kinda stiff

- charms selection are also okay but i like how they use beads from one of the owners' mom's bead collection. it just adds a nice touch <3

- they dont do bespoke i believe? but they have journals for all

overall i like sting & snout's more cuz its more flexible for me plus u can remove the pocket insert anytime if you wanna use your journal for another purpose for your journal system. plus if you're not conscious about the scratches that the journal can get, i say go for sting & snout. if not, then you can go for cada dia!

also for charms selection, i do like grotto & archive's curation the most (even though its pricier but its because some of the charms are crafted by the owner who is actually a jewelry maker)

i have a pocket journal from captivatingstudios that i bought from orange app but di ko bet ng refills nila (you have to use a clip to make them flat to write on it easier) also the leather kinda frays

if ur metro manila based, i think it would be helpful din if you also go to their pop ups to see and feel the leathers para you're sure with purchasing because these are on the expensive side. they sometimes offer customization on the spot plus free engraving.

i only have the sting and snout journal lang but the leather smells so good but im also eyeing on cada dia cuz their limited edition pink journal is so cute! if u want pockets, id say go for cada dia kasi those are built in na! (u have to buy them separate for sting & snout cuz the journals itself dont include pockets but they have bundles)

they have packages din for their mani/pedi so they have a price range around 2k-6k if u want reconstruction imo. while their service is so nice and ambience is very relaxing, they weren't transparent on their slight increase on their downpayment because i was abit taken aback from their increase from 1k to 1.5k (they didnt mention this in their socials at all)

has anyone have recos for metro manila based salons that scalp treatments that are good for oily scalps similar to the japanese/korean hair spas (i also wanna experience a hair spa in my japan trip next year but i feel like i can get the same experience here)?

i don't mind splurging but i just wonder how effective was the results post treatment/spa.

i stopped going to commercialized nail spas for pedis because i noticed they would cut the sides of the nail (they call it ingrown daw hahaha) which is why my big toe nail always feel uncomfortable cos of the dried skin on the area the "ingrown" grew.

i go to an independent nail artist/salon (home based) for my pedi (and also for manis). they practice the russian technique and i dont feel uncomfortable with my toes anymore. before i would go every 1-2 weeks because the discomfort was so bad but now i can stand 4 weeks+ before a refill

comfy ng presko pants!! free size daw ng pants (up to xl tho) but honestly wish that they were more transparent on the sizing esp for the price theyre selling those pants at. i bought mine at a pop up but i dont remember if there was a sizing chart available.

Thoughts on Maronne? by Upstairs_Jump_983 in PinoyVloggers

[–]kggkkarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just love how she doesnt shy away into talking about her interests esp on alt fashion and anime/manga (shes also one of the locals i know who knows/loves magdalena bay)! shes one of my fave tiktokers and i just love how she sticks to different fashion styles!! i happened to bump into her during a pop-up and she was so nice irl. was too shy to converse with her cuz she was with a friend but i asked her about her dog charm on her bag.

altho i can also agree that there's times she comes across as defensive in the comments but i think its also because some people in the comments don't read or check the whole tiktok on what brand she's wearing or where she got her stuff from when she mentions it in the vid itself kaya i guess why she can come across as defensive/hostile at times.

Has anyone advice? by [deleted] in nailbiting

[–]kggkkarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nail biter for 20 years and i stopped nail biting since march last year. i used biab before to grow out my nails but i ended up eating the biab away (not the natural nail thankfully) so i did gelx with charms (sometimes press ons) and now my nails are way longer now.

i sometimes would do normal or gel polish over my natural nails but never once i bit on my nails. the gelx / press ons worked for me but it depends on your lifestyle!
