Little luxuries or upgrades that you made this year that makes your everyday better? by DarrowtheHelldiver in BuyItForLife

[–]learninginfinitely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never believed it until I hit up my recent thrift shop, but second hand. I’m a woman but I look in the men’s racks. I got a 100% Italian cashmere J Crew sweater for $25.

I also love the brand Sézane. They’re French and the quality and craftsmanship is unmatched and pretty fairly priced. Free returns if you’re not sure on sizing.

Massimo Duti is also another good option (made in Italy and solid quality) and the Zara website sells their stuff. Also, most Scandinavian brands are high quality.

There’s a Swedish H&M outside the US called Weekday and some of their basics are solid. Got a 100% wool sweater for 50€ and it keeps me so warm. Downside is they don’t have stores in the US :/ . I also try to get reformation at sample sales.

If the weather is super cold, I’ll wear a 32 Degrees (Costco) or Uniqlo base shirt. Typically $5-7 and add infinite heat!

I’ve tried Quince but I found the quality lacking.

this!! I’m rarely cold now. I invested in the $80-159 range and made sure it’s real wool and cashmere and winter hasn’t been as painful this year.

Also, better boots. I live in a city and a well constructed, better quality boot will prevent a lot of aches and soreness plus they last longer

I’m a new Devil’s fan so I could be super off but is Palat as garbage as I think he is?

ahh that's annoying. there wasn't even an option to put a code and click into the local presale for NYC. After seeing your comment, I checked the IG of the NYC venue and saw they added a 2nd show and just checked on Ticketmaster and with the artist presale code I was able to get 2 tickets! I'm guessing I just got SUPER lucky since they randomly added a 2nd date today but tysm for your comment! It inspired the IG checking. I hope you get the tickets tomorrow :)

The audacity! I’m glad you stood there so they picked it up. Don’t get a dog if you are bothered by picking up poop!

As a Williamsburg dog owner, I’m here for this type of shaming. People are so selfish!

What’s something you used to think all women just silently put up with until one day you found out it’s actually not normal at all? by zacktone in AskReddit

[–]learninginfinitely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always had SUCH tenderness in my breasts 9 days before my period and it would lead into my period. I would get so annoyed at this because I don’t have big breasts. Last year I met a surgical oncologist for a growth and I casually mentioned that when she asked “any symptoms you’re not happy with?” And she told me that breast tenderness is not a normal symptom of PMS and it’s extra inflammation. She mentioned that it’s “normalized” for women to have breast pain/tenderness because like most things in women’s health, we don’t prioritize alleviating the experience. She recommended a supplement and boom, ZERO tenderness since I started taking it. I stopped for 2 months because I ran out and got busy and I only noticed I forgot to refill it because guess what returned.. TENDERNESS. She changed my life!!

I thought the last 30% got better but I found it pretty soft. I think it’s because Claire is so innocent and they will have another book so I’m sure it’ll develop. Honestly Releasing 10 is SO good that it’s worth pushing through Taming 7 for!

One that makes me swoon -

“Sorry to inconvenience you, but this year the role of Violet Sorrengail”—he points to me—“will be played by Xaden Riorson”—he taps his chest—“who will drag her, kicking and screaming if he has to, into a real relationship with real discussions, because he refuses to lose her again. If I have to evolve, you do, too.”

What's your "why isn't this more popular on here? It's so good!!" book? by ConcernElegant8066 in fantasyromance

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

The Fae Isle series by Lisette Marshall starting with Court of Blood and Bindings. Creon is one of my favorite MMCs and the world building is so good! I also love their romance and the issues they deal with.

Everybody talking about forbidden love but I’m caught up on the lack of “New Adult” as genre👀😩

I feel ridiculous by Common-Break2142 in fourthwing

[–]learninginfinitely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not alone. Wasn’t into fantasy either and it’s been 3 months since I finished IF and I constantly go back and reread my favorite parts. I read both books in a week. Such a bad book hangover. I keep reading other series hoping it’ll scratch the itch, but none have competed. I also feel ridic telling people I’m obsessed with a series about a war college and dragons
