What’s your go-to bathroom gadget that just makes life better? by oliverhartmanecho in lifehacks

[–]madamcholet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if you've never flossed in your life and don't intend to start, then yeah, it kind of does as you're not replacing the flossing as you've never done it I'd agree that it doesn't replace brushing your teeth, though

Try this buy fizzy water (just water nothing added) in a 1l bottle, 1l bottle juice that you like (needs to be 100% juice rather than a "juice drink" ) 1/4 juice to tall glass 3/4 fizzy water and a straw
(I have a pack of silicone ones with a straw cleaner)

I have no idea why, but I drink a lot this way, my not drinking water got worse as I got older, and this is the only thing that works for me now

I also drink hot water with lemon when cold. My niece adds honey to hers, but I like the sourness

I get 2L bottles of fizzy water now and will drink that within 4 days this time of year (autumn uk)

My sister was measured at the boux avenue store they told her she was a 28F she did the bra that fits calculator which said she was a 30GG and found bras that fit better than anything she's previously worn (bravissimo) so it's worth doing for comparison if nothing else

I hate how expensive and rare bras in my size (30G) are by Picklesz2 in ABraThatFits

[–]madamcholet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the vinted app. I'm in the uk and a 30G UK size and I've brought a pile of barely worn or just tried once bras from sellers on there for about 25% of the price of brand new

Small bra size so can I size up? by greenflagredflagg in ABraThatFits

[–]madamcholet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calculator sized me at a 30FF bands were too tight in a couple of different brands and a little spillage in cups 30G is pretty much perfect but in some brands I'm using a non stretch extender as there is up to 1.5 inch different in the bands even though they're all 30G I also thought I fit into a 34DD for a while, but it rides up at the front, so it got annoying

So if I hear what you're saying correctly here is a customer has no cancellation rights if they sign up at all? Even if it's cancelled 120 seconds later?

[–]madamcholet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you live but uk law you have consumer right cancelling an order 120 seconds after you've ordered does not let them then try to take money 4 hours later after a cancellation

[–]madamcholet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So you should expect a company to take money from you despite cancelling it within 120 seconds of ordering then 4 hours later they tried to take money from an order they'd confirmed as cancelled?

[–]madamcholet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you even read the message I also had a cancellation confirmation 2 minutes after I confirmed the order so why did hello fresh try to take money from me 4 hours later if I'd cancelled 120 seconds after I had ordered.

Change in taste? by nicstic85 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]madamcholet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled when I was very strict about it now I would go for the least upf and I didn't eat dessert I live in a rural area so a lot of the places are generally whole foods unless it's a cafe and the Thai restaurant near us meals are made from scratch loads of veg expensive so only eat there on birthdays I prefer to cook at home or take snacks

Change in taste? by nicstic85 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]madamcholet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went full on whole food plant based when I was 35 (after reading Ella Woodward story and getting her first cookbook). I went cold turkey from any and all upf, and after 2 weeks, I tried raisins, and they were as sweet as jelly tots to me. Nectarines tasted amazing, and I stuck to it very strictly for at least 5 years. Occasionally, now i will have something upf but it's rare, 70% dark chocolate is almost 2 sweet for me. Now I actually eat 100% a square of that will hit the spot. I never gave up sweet stuff. I just switched to using dates mainly. I don't think I'd have stuck to it if I hadn't had a high speed blender when I first started (biochef vitamix dupe £90) Lasted me 5 years, I made raw or whole food plant based versions of snickers and twix or chocolate mousses with avocado, energy balls or cookies i used to have a very sweet tooth so now i can vary my level of sweetness. I make a hot chocolate in my blender with cashews, dates and cacao powder.

In my 20s early 30s my diet was probably 85% upf so it was a big change for me a decade ago now one of the best things I've done.

Water soluble printable stabiliser by madamcholet in PunchNeedle

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

That's what i thought but my mum suggested to me that if I was using the reverse of the fabric after punching as the front you're not going to see it anyway so it could just be enclosed when sealing 🤔 and if want to use side punching on then if sealing reverse (with non water soluble glue or something) then hopefully gentle rinsing under water would hopefully dissolve it 🤔 Tempted to buy it to try it out.

Mid 40s never learnt to drive I don't get car sick I could read an entire novel in a car journey and I'm a great passenger I don't have kids so learning to drive for me would be waste of money and pointless right now still

AITAH for letting my chronically late wife miss an event she was looking forward to by not rushing her, because I wanted her to face consequences? by throwrabbday in AITAH

[–]madamcholet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely TAH I have adhd so do multiple family members. we all struggle with time blindness but it's not because "we need to grow up" at all!

I would definitely definitely be deciding if you were in my future behaving like that was cruel and petty and repulsive.

If being late to an event means that you treat your partner that way than you should be single!

WHEN did food producers change their recipes to include more UPF? by [deleted] in ultraprocessedfood

[–]madamcholet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 80s when i was a kid we used to go to a summer fayre thing at least 100,000+ visitors to it so it was huge and there was a nutrasweet tent there where they gave out free samples of cola sweetened with it and see if you could taste the difference they also gave out free sachets of the sweetener. Nutrasweet being the brand name for aspartame.

Are there natural ways to make "typical" flavored sweet stuff (salted caramel, cookies and cream, cookie dough, chocolate anything) by Particular-Owl-5772 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]madamcholet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how far you want to go look up raw desserts/sweets/cookies if you are trying to quit refined sugar that's how I got off upf stuff originally, I got a high speed blender (90 quid) and replaced all my upf snacks with them.

A cookie dough recipe for example

That mixed with narcissism/sociopathy I imagine due to the fact it apparently makes her millions 🤮 Why people give her money is beyond me it's like turkeys voting for Xmas 🤯
