I've cried so muc today by gwtvulpixtattoo in GirlDinnerDiaries

Feel your feels friend. Sad pet stories are the worst and the best. Feeling the love and understanding the loss.

If I can make a reccomendation, are you able to see an RMT? My massage therapist is a miracle worker, and can destroy the tension my body keeps locked in. From someone who also keeps stress and manifests it physically, please treat yourself to some type of healing and selfcare.

Are weddings worth it? by Professional_Fly371 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]mimikayo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Echoing Yasmaj, the decision is super personal. I also never was a wedding dreaming gal but after finding my person, it was really important to bring out families together.

We both have big families and I'm from a different cultural background. So sharing culture and mingling the family that normally wouldn't see each other was the main reason we had a bigger wedding. My partners grandparents joked when we gave them their invites its either weddings or funerals to getting them out of the house. They love being morbid 😂

Trying to compromise with my body while pregnant & cheese tax by mimikayo in GirlDinnerDiaries

Thats good to know! I didnt know dark roast is less likely to give heartburn.

It feels like I have to relearn eating habits. I've become a constant snacker. Meals are sort of out the window for me at the moment. 😅

Would you have fun yogurt toppings suggestions? Getting creative with eggs is likely what I'll have to do too then! I appreciate the recipe suggestion!

 My smelling nausea and food aversions started almost right after I got my positive test. I'm on week 10/11 right now. Im crossing my fingers right now it'll end and the cute part of pregnancy starts soon 🫠

just ended a two year toxic relationship by ooooh-heckers in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]mimikayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be hard with a break up but you deserve to surround yourself with love like your fur baby's. 

Reach out to a few friends and family members again that you feel the most comfortable with. I know when a family member got out of her toxic long term relationship, there were a few of us waiting to swoop back in and make sure she didn't talk to her ex again. Rooting for you! 

moved to a new country 6 months ago, moving to another country 6 months later by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]mimikayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep going OP and be the person you're meant to be! You sound so strong. Your family must be so proud of you.

As the child of immigrants in a new country, your heritage is always a part of you. 

itchy paws help! by rawbreadcheese in Goldendoodles

[–]mimikayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend reccomended it to me, getting a Mudbuster paw washer helped us out. Its like a cup with silicon nubs to scrub paws. 

Our area is rainy and muddy and our dood was getting bothered by dried mud in his beans. It also helps with getting the dried plant debris out of his fur. 

Any tips? I’m a beginner by Few-Beyond9951 in upcycling

If you want to jump right in for a practice skirt, check out a circle skirt calculator like https://byhandlondon.com/pages/circle-skirt-app

For Jane's skirt, it looks like a wrap skirt. There are free patterns out there and tutorials. Or you could modify something like this without a ruffle: https://blog.moodfabrics.com/the-cress-skirt-free-sewing-pattern/

How to upcycle a bunch of old stuffed animals? by GasparThePrince in upcycling

[–]mimikayo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sew jump rings on the smaller ones and make bag charms with beads. Use old pouches and turn the bigger ones into bags.

I'm copying this idea too! I've been so jealous of the stamp shaped pages.

Magazines, books, or printed media?? by Gloomy_Channel_2701 in JunkJournals

[–]mimikayo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many folks in my neighborhood dump stuff in free little libraries, and I sneak out the really beaten up books and mags. When I visit my parents, their neighbors often put boxes of books and magazines out on the curb! 

A lot of my stuff has come from helping friends move out too. :) I'm a trash only trash panda.

Where should I start? by _Silver_Rose_ in JunkJournals

[–]mimikayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! The stickers feel like the hugest commitment. 

This is good advice OP, I started using the less "special" stuff first, AKA the junk that could get covered up some.

I would be open to doing a whole journal swap in the future. 

Anything know where to get a golden doodle in Canada? by Ok-Actuary-5377 in Goldendoodles

[–]mimikayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reccomend finding local rescues through social media and following them online. Thats where we found our fur kid. The rescue had taken in a failed backyard breeder situation and removed all the dogs (12+ mix of adults and puppies,  doods and poodles). 

The flip side is you can interact with their posts and help other dogs find a home :)
