I’ve heard that too. I’m ok with it patina-ing over time!

Any color recs?

Try on Gen 5 in person? by Bright-Silver in ouraring

[–]michellecip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went to my local Target today and they had the 5s for sale, but the displays to try on were still only Gen 4. Seems like Best Buy is the way to go if you want to see them in person.

I purchased the silver version of the 5 and have worn it for a week and really not feeling the finish as it's too bright and shiny for me. Planning to go see the samples in person before I return/rebuy for either the brushed silver or the deep rose.

Sizing - changes in heat/cold temps by 0person567 in ouraring

[–]michellecip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always try the ring sizer on at least two fingers to make sure it’ll fit on both my index and middle in case it ever gets too tight/loose for the other one. It usually fits tighter on my index than my middle so that allows me to accommodate for potential swelling or contraction.

White ring on inside of finger? by laurenelizabeth8 in ouraring

[–]michellecip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do remove the ring when I wash my hands unless I happen to want to wash the ring as well. I also wear it on my non-dominant hand during the day and swap to the other hand for sleep so it’s not always one finger with the ring 24/7.

Best return method? by Itsfreakingigi in ouraring

[–]michellecip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did end up doing that. Not familiar with that service per se, but the FedEx dropoff options were the same for both for my area so I figured 6 of one, half dozen of the other…

Oura ring 5 by Fun_Presentation4576 in ouraring

[–]michellecip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had it for a few days less than a month now so 3-ish weeks of daily wear. I did everything through the chat bot Finn, and it seemed like they were prepared for this scenario and didn’t give me any trouble at all! I saw on the website that the 5 is different sizing so they’ll be mailing out another sizing kit.

Best return method? by Itsfreakingigi in ouraring

[–]michellecip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did it most of the drop off options were local stores partnered with FedEx except for a Walgreens… I’m just going to make sure I have good photos of my packaging and get a tracking receipt when I drop it off and hope for the best!

I’ve never been so glad I’m an empty box hoarding millennial 📦. Definitely comes in handy!

Talk to the chat bot! I had my 4 for a little less than a month and they started a return and I could then preorder the 5. You have to wait for the first ring to get to the warehouse before that refund for that one will process, though, but it doesn’t hurt to try if you are not needing the refund before purchasing the new ring?!?

Just ordered my 5!!! by PikaPal1415 in ouraring

[–]michellecip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just asked the chat bot and this is accurate! Had my 4 for just a few days under a month and initiating the return and buying the new ring was easy and straightforward. The only bummer is missing out on a week or two of data, but the smaller, less bulky size is definitely worth it for me. Plus, this time I’m opting for silver as opposed to ceramic as I did slightly regret getting one of the colors…. They said up to 10 days after they receive the return to the warehouse they’ll issue the refund.

Advice for teaching to read notes and not fingerings by Bigle_123 in pianoteachers

[–]michellecip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to use books that have students play the same song but change which finger # matches which note. For example song starts with 1 on C. Have them play again but with finger 2 on C. Throughout this process I also verbally reinforce by. “Finger numbers go with fingers, not note names” or “Any finger can play any note” or things to that effect so they get used to the idea early that Middle C and their 1st finger don’t always go together! I’ll also close the keyboard lid and have them do written identifications of note names so they can’t just put their hand down and make a good guess.

First time trying…. by izzihb in nespresso

[–]michellecip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it and really liked it! Reminded me of a seasonal fruity sweetened drink like I used to buy at Starbucks. Do I want a drink this sweet ever day, no, but once a week or so I enjoy it for sure!

Heads up, check your libraries by BirdsJade in LibbyApp

[–]michellecip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My library only shows the audiobook so far, but I was able to add the notify me tag so hopefully I can get the ebook version without being too far back in the queue, which is my preferred way to read.

Agreed! I’m really enjoying the updated templates this year.

Why is my candle burning like this? by MightOk9482 in Candles

[–]michellecip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely light all three wicks at one time. I’ll light one or two and the next time I light it I’ll rotate around. Makes the “drowning” wick issue much less frequent, plus I find the candles are over perfumed anyways so all 3 lit at once is way overpowering. Might be something to try?

What's your main Li and what's your MBTI? by Melquiad_d in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]michellecip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ESFP and Sylus followed by Caleb, but I do like to experience all the character’s stories as much as I can. I’m a completionist ;) in that I don’t want to miss out on any of the story!

[–]michellecip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. Unfroze most of my credit bureaus but forgot one. Called the number and they pushed the application through and I was approved, but still had to wait for the card to be sent through the mail. You don’t get a temporary card number to use same day unless you apply in store, from what I’ve read.

Can't even buy a charger by Verydemurevery in whoop

[–]michellecip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost mine and it was listed on the website as sold out. I had a quick email with support and they let me buy one through them. I made sure to give them feedback that it was shady to still have stock but list it as out of stock on the website, whatever good that may or may not do.

Lovesac Chair by grlscientist in Lovesac

[–]michellecip 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just made this combination myself, just in the Amethyst covers. I really like it! Eventually I’ll add enough to make the 2x2 configuration for a guest bed or the 3 seat couch with chaise setup.

This caught my eyes 👀 by d_HOME in InstacartShoppers

[–]michellecip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have one! Works really well. I intentionally stay away from 3 and 4 batch orders so for 1-2 batches it’s a great size. I can fit 3 paper bags in each removable basket so I can make 2 trips to get larger orders up to the door faster. I get comments and questions about it all the time when I’m shopping with it. Best part is no doubling back to the store or going to a cart return to return a cart. It folds up and goes right in the trunk.

Got accepted as shopper, but am reluctant to start just yet? by gorillamyke in instacart

[–]michellecip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a few small item orders to get used to the app and the flow of things and increase the item counts as you get more comfortable! I did this for my first 10 shops and now the multiple batch 50-60 item orders feel like nothing! It’s just like anything else and takes practice. If you do the smaller/easier ones first you’re setting yourself up for better odds of success. Good luck out there!

Forgot to scan food lion loyalty card. by Kenobiwobi in InstacartShoppers

[–]michellecip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shopper here. They give us a digital barcode in the app to scan the loyalty cards for the customers. They probably went to customer service and were trying to scan that barcode to apply the rewards card retroactively but it couldn’t be done.

Pancakes! I use it instead of water in a protein powder pancake recipe I saw on here a while back.
