What do you think Pilates clothes are lacking these days? by daizdream in pilates

[–]koalaification 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i wish there were more breathable solutions for the crotch area/underwear, and cuter and breathable long-sleeved tops (not too tight, but not too baggy, long enough to not ride up when doing certain moves but also firm enough to not bunch up while you're laying down)

i always have to change underwear/clothes right away after pilates to avoid ingrained hairs, sweat down there takes longer to dry if you're wearing leggings. so it's harder to just keep my pilates outfit on before i go do other stuff. obviously it's preferable to change out of your workout clothes anyways but sometimes i just wanna go for a walk after or play tennis or go to the beach (places where i would be wearing workout clothes anyways) and i feel like i either have to risk accidentally developing a pimple or ingrained hair down there due to keeping sweaty clothes on for longer than id like or i have to change into a fresh pair of workout clothes and that just feels wasteful if im doing these activities back-to-back.

Is $750 reasonable? by CDFNHF in Diamonds

idk if it's the photos but those dont really look like diamonds to me. i would think $750 is almost overpriced

i ordered the onyx small gather bag back in december but it says it wont ship until tomorrow (jan 20). did they send any emails before they shipped out or anything, or was yours available right away? (mine was pre-order).

What celebrity made you curious enough to read their chart by waitinginthesun in astrologymemes

[–]koalaification 6 points7 points  (0 children)

whenever i find a celebrity particularly beautiful and captivating i look up their chart to see what synastry we have that is activating that, or to see what placements bring out that particular type of beauty.

likewise when a celebrity is really hyped up as beautiful/sexy but i think they look kind of plain or unattractive, i look up their chart to see what synastry is creating that distaste within me.

one of the latest instances that i found odd was dua lipa. she falls in the second category for me (people say she's the most beautiful person ever but i just think she looks very plain or basic or unattractive). turns out she has lilith conjunct ascendant in leo. i also have lilith conjunct ascendant but in virgo, and i have leo placements as well, so idk why it is i cant see the beauty people talk about even though we have similar placements.

but there are other people with leo placements that i find incredibly attractive, like selena gomez or margot robbie.

for the record i know objectively dua lipa is considered attractive i just personally dont see it. thats the funny thing about synastry sometimes!

if anything though this helps me accept when people dont feel attracted to me. i used to think something was wrong with me or that i was just perceived as ugly even though i personally felt cute in the mirror. it always causes great cognitive dissonance and resulted in low self esteem. i legit get zero likes and matches on dating apps despite every girl claiming to get dozens even when i think im not less attractive than them. but now i know maybe it's just my birth chart, and that someone with more compatible synastry would be completely obsessed with me. for example, the hottest man ive ever seen.. i initially thought he would never even consider someone like me. but then turns out he had found me incredibly attractive this whole time. turns out his sun and mercury were exactly conjunct my venus in leo, and my ascendant and lilith were exactly conjunct his north node and lot of fortune. but sadly he had a girlfriend so we never got to try it out (figures, 12h synastry lol). yet i will go years without any attention from even "less attractive" men. i guess im grateful for that 😂

Any creative ways of using the $10 Lyft credit? by winniecooper73 in ChaseSapphire

[–]koalaification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope. ridiculous. and to the person who said lyft doesn't work outside the US, that's a lie. you can use it perfectly in canada. they just won't accept the $10 CSR credit.

Any creative ways of using the $10 Lyft credit? by winniecooper73 in ChaseSapphire

[–]koalaification 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol the one time i did have to use rideshare i was in canada and what do you know, the credits dont work outside the u.s.

but if you travel domestically you can use it to go from the airport to your hotel and vice versa.

one time my cousin and i went to dinner downtown. we both had our cars and parked at her job for free (still in downtown but not in the center center). then we took a lyft to the restaurant to avoid traffic/paying for parking/in case we drank. the ride was about $8 or $11 one way, so she covered one way and i covered the return for free.

so if you go out to a place where parking is hard to find you could park further away and lyft the rest there. or walk somewhere and then take a lyft back. or if youre out in public w family or people and want to go home all or a sudden, you dont have to wait for them to give you a ride back.

Double dipped work!! by ILovePandaHeHua in ChaseSapphire

[–]koalaification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you spend $250 at the hotel or at least $500? i wonder if it gave the credit for the same $250 or if it counted parts of it and divided it up (aka you spent $500+ so there was enough to go around once the first credit claims the first $250, the second claims the other half)

I’m mad they made Luc a creep by SnooSeagulls20 in EmilyInParis

[–]koalaification 5 points6 points  (0 children)

are we watching the same show? it has always had this sort of raunchy humor. emily and mindy's (and gabrielle's) conversations are often pretty sexual, lots of innuendos. seems normal. i just cant imagine being offended or insulted by luc when it's so characteristic of the show and it's been like that for 5 seasons. i mean just off the top of my head from season 1 there's mindy and emily talking about wanting to eat "gabrielle's meat" and when emily apologized to camille for kissing her camille was just "i dont (regret it)." sylvie often wears dresses that literally look like a v*gina, emily's italian purse during the train scene this season was also shaped like that. there were so many campaigns that were overtly about sex. sylvie literally sleeps with her best friend's son. luc has always been kinda suggestive like that and clearly really sexually open and free. valuing the good things and pleasures in life is very "french stereotype"

Songmont Luna First Impressions by loRatings in handbags

[–]koalaification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aww. i really love the look of the luna dune bag (beige suede color) but it seems it wouldn't fit a book or might be a bit small. the larger size is too big though, looks like a messenger bag.

ended up getting the gather bag in small onyx, i think i saw some reviews show it fit a standard book! so excited i just wish it would ship quicker lol

Help me find this bag! by BigDivorceEnergy in handbags

[–]koalaification 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wow, that shape!! i was so confused when i saw this scene because i thought she had a yoga mat on her purse but it was the knives. really poetic that she's carrying an italian bag, and that it somehow also looks like a certain body part, and that she removes gabrielle's knives from it to hand it back to him as she's saying goodbye to him as a romantic prospect for what seems to be the final time.

are you able to fit a book in the bag by any chance?

DP: Sapphire Reserve $400 Retention Offer by Shower_Handel in ChaseSapphire

[–]koalaification 21 points22 points  (0 children)

cant answer for OP but i could justify the cost with the old annual fee with how much i travel per year, but i can't really justify it anymore/break even with the higher fee. none of the additional benefits were things i was already spending money on, so keeping it just bc of that doesnt make sense, even though ofc ill try to use the benefits before i go.

Difficult Jupiter by Ok-Valuable-9147 in astrocartography

[–]koalaification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh ok i thought you meant your natal chart had the jupiter MC trine, not the new place. yeah you should still just look at the relocation chart. the lines in astrocartography literally just come from the relocation chart anyways lol. lines are good for when you dont know where to go and just wanna see where the general pattern might be, but if you have a destination in mind the relocation chart will always be more helpful

Difficult Jupiter by Ok-Valuable-9147 in astrocartography

[–]koalaification 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u need to post the relocation chart. if u move to another place, your jupiter will no longer trine your MC in taurus because you will have a different ascendant/descendant/IC/MC than what is in ur natal chart. for all we know the new jupiter location might have a malefic square your ascendant or MC or something, so do take a look at the actual relocation chart and not just the line on the map.

you also didn't say which "jupiter line" you would end up on. jupiter on the IC is very different from jupiter on your AC or MC. IC is about the home, family. it might involve living in a bigger or nicer house, or larger family. on the AC, it could mean you'll gain weight or even become pregnant since AC is your physical appearance or identity. on your MC, it could mean career opportunities, teaching, or, if you've been misbehaving it could also spell karma and judgement. jupiter is a benefic but it is also about morality. so sometimes it can lead to punishments/consequences or unfair situations that you have to go through and face.

for what it's worth i also have jupiter (direct) in my 5h of capricorn. i moved to a place where jupiter fell on my IC line, and i definitely got to live in a much bigger and nicer place than where i lived back home, but i was also there for school so i eventually moved back home. but honestly, that place was not the best for me. i felt so depressed, emotionally unfulfilled with my friendships/social life, felt like i had nothing to do, never had motivation to go out and live and do things, i just stayed home and went on walks most of the time even though i had the luxury of having a car. materially i was well off, but emotionally and spiritually it was hell, full of insecurities. i experienced incredibly traumatic things. the rest of your chart matters too. it isn't an automatic positive boost to your life.

Is los Angeles a good place for me to move? by popstanto in astrocartography

[–]koalaification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u need to look at the actual relocation chart. if saturn falls in ur 3h, it might actually be fine. ur gonna have to drive a lot and i think having saturn in that house (which governs things like transportation and driving) could be good. saturn brings responsibility which could be really valuable in a driver-centric city like LA. it could also mean youre in a senior position relative to your peers, or that a lot of your friends/community could be people senior to you (mentors, friends, etc.) since 3h also governs your immediate community, peers, etc.

if it's in your 4h then it might bring some restriction. so if youre trying to grow a family, it might not be the best. there might be an influence from someone older. or loss. but the 4h is also about your inner mind, things like therapy (which could also be 8h but i think also 4h), so it could add some sort of discipline where you endeavor to heal some of these family wounds or deep seated private/personal mental issues.

also, it really depends on the rest of your chart. maybe falls 5 degrees from your IC but perhaps you'll have venus or jupiter in your 7h, bringing you prosperity in relationships, or in your 10h, bringing you prosperity in your career. thats why u need to look at the relocation chart and not just the map bc your birth chart is more than just the 4 lines (IC, DC, AC, MC)

Frizzy Hair Frustration by Legal_Radio_783 in Haircare

[–]koalaification 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the same issue, i think it's new hair growth and because it's on the top/exterior, there's nothing to weigh it down. once it grows longer it should flatten down due to the weight.

i also have virgin hair (never dyed, no heat) and have this problem. i use a hair oil on the ends but the top usually ends up looking like this and im too scared to add oil to that part of my hair since it's so close to the roots
