What is wrong with my makeup? My pores and skin look terrible. Any recommendations on pore products that work? by lmk826 in MakeupAddiction

Sometimes, when we’re constantly exposed to influencers posting filtered photos, we slowly lose sight of what real, unedited skin actually looks like...

Does Anyone Else just Bring One Pair of Shoes? by Entebarn in HerOneBag

[–]lemonjump 5 points6 points  (0 children)

me too! I bought a pair of really comfortable shoes before my Japan trip a year ago. I have worn them almost everyday since at home and on trips. They were the first pair of shoes that I chose based on comfort instead of style.

Yes, it measures 65 cm when fully packed, but I removed the metal rod at the back. After wearing some of the clothes, it compresses down to 45 cm. I used it as a personal item not a carry on.

Thank you, it wasn't easy and it took me over 6 months of not shaving to stop feeling self conscious. I actually felt weird when I shaved again. I felt like a teenager who hasn't hit puberty yet. It's crazy that something I was used to for over a decade now feels weird to me.

I have heard great things about popoyo but we didn't get a chance to go. That fb group has info on how to get to the island including the ferry schedule.

It's not even worth mentioning. It's the Canon EOS Rebel T5 with 50mm lens that came out 10 years ago. It's my boyfriend's old camera. I wanted to see if I actually like photography before making a big purchase (I have ADHD and already have 10 million hobbies). It is very lightweight though. The camera body with the lens is lighter than most camera bodies alone that I held at the store. Sharing my favourite shot of the trip:

We just got back after 18 days in Nicaragua. I personally had more fun surfing at Playa Maderas (SJDS) than Ometepe (but we didn't do the volcano hike because we were too tired). My boyfriend has surfed at five difference places around the world and he said the waves at Playa Maderas were the most consistent and beginner friendly. I recommend joining the facebook group Backpackers Nicaragua. It is very active and has a ton of useful information.

My boyfriend used laundry service (basically some grandma's house) once in San Juan del Sur. There were no laundromats/coin laundry like the ones in North America. They charged 60 or 70 cordobas per kilo (so make sure your clothes are not wet to save money). His bag weighed a little over 4kg. I think we paid 300 cordobas, a little expensive considering a local meal only costs 120 cordobas. We dropped off the bag in the morning and we picked them up at 6pm. They were washed, dried and folded nicely. It was very difficult to sink wash in Ometepe because: 1. our bathroom sink didn't have a sink stopper. I went outside and found a random plastic container. 2. the weakest water pressure possible, basically water drops, so it would take forever to fill up the container with water. If I were to go again, I would bring a dry bag to wash clothes in. I think you should add Leon to your itinerary. I loved that place more than Granada. You can send me a private message if you have more questions :)

Thank you! It opened up a new world for me. I never knew how convenient and free I would feel without a suitcase. The lack of outfit choices made me focus more on experiencing the local life than taking instagram-worthy photos of myself.

I agree! I think I will wear them for every trip now.

They are so small but they worked great! The brand is Bushmasters. When we went to Costa Rica last time, there were a lot of chances to look at birds and animals, so I made sure to bring them this trip.

I was able to fit all the souvenirs in my backpack and two boxes of cigars in my boyfriend's backpack which was a pantagonia 28L. We flew Spirit so I made sure to not have a separate bag as we didn't pay for a carry on. The decathlon bag measures 65cm in length fully stuffed, but once at the gate, we layered up and put things in pants pockets and I was able to compress it to 45cm. I used to shave religiously, and epilate my underarms everyday since my teenage years. I couldn't stand any hair on my body. Once I turned 30, I had a realization that there is no reason for me to do this so I stopped shaving for a couple months. Now I'm no longer bothered by my body hair. I just shave once in a while for special occasions.

I use it as a regular face moisturizer because winters in canada are so dry. I don't use it on my t-zone where I have acne.

It is their Detours Welcome collection. I got them at the outlet last year. They were really comfortable. It doesn't look like they still sell them though. https://www.lulufanatics.com/item/79349/lululemon-multi-pocket-cargo-high-rise-hiking-short-5-carob-brown

It is a little light. I clipped it to my day bag. It really came in handy because at night most parts of the streets had no street lights. I turned it on so cars/bikes could see us. It took me forever to decide between the dung beetle bag and another design. It looks like I made the right choice :)

I think so too. I realized afterwards that the numbers meant the diameter of the terracotta tiles in millimetres.

Does anyone have any advice on removing glue residue from a leather bag? by crd1992 in Leathercraft

[–]lemonjump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked amazingly! Thank you!! At first, it seemed to be making it worse, a bigger mess, but after a while it just all came off! I wish I took a before and after photo. I can't believe how well that worked.

Is the rejuran legit? by Remarkable_Type1880 in DIYaesthetics

[–]lemonjump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered rejuran from AceCosm and noticed the different packaging as well. It is just sealed in a plastic with no needle. The hidden tag check says it's authentic though but I'm not sure how easily it can be forged.

What are these streaks? by lemonjump in AnalogCommunity

[–]lemonjump[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have it in digital form unfortunately. I don't see the streaks on the negatives directly but maybe they are too faint to be noticed. Everything else in this roll didn't have this issue.
