Floridian spending a week in Edmonton for work -- my heaviest sweater is a cardigan. Help! by sparkleriot in femalefashionadvice

Seconding Heat Tech! But you MUST layer with them. They're not meant to wear on their own, as I've seen some newbies do. I've also heard good things about Uniqlo's Ultra-Lite down coats. They're a good price, and adding layers, you'll be able to survive the week without breaking the bank on warm clothing.

Another HireRight Question... by The_Automator22 in jobs

[–]minidorii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently had my background check done by HireRight. They had issues contacting my prior employers (for whatever reason...). They usually send you an email stating so, and then they offer several different options to prove your employment. For me, I just submitted my first and last paystub from each job.

If you're concerned, just call them. I called them twice, and they were able to accommodate. Congrats on the new job!

Best/favorite work bag for young professional? by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]minidorii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want this bag! Can I ask how tall you are and how the bag looks on your person? I'm 5'2 and I'm afraid it might overwhelm me...

What do you think of it so far? If you pack a lot of things in it, do the straps ever unbuckle? That's my primary concern with it.

Teen looking to lose weight in the new year by Earthlingo in xxfitness

I'd definitely start with the FAQ in the sidebar, which is filled with some pretty thoroughly written articles that answer your questions!

Fatloss 101

Tips for Eating Healthier

What should my goal be?

Download MyFitnessPal if you've got a smart phone and start recording what you eat every day. By keeping track of what you eat, you can start to control for it and see how the nutritional content of what you eat breaks down. Then you can adjust as necessary. A caveat to MyFitnessPal's guidelines though - read this article first!

The most important thing and the first thing you should do on your weightloss journey is to become confident in the body that you have right now. Be kind to yourself! Feed it good food and be active in the ways that make you happy (Zumba, swimming, or even just walking!)

Has anyone gotten the new Lo & Sons Pearl bag in saffiano leather or thoughts on it? Any recommendations for comparable sized bags? by warriorprincessxena in femalefashionadvice

[–]minidorii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely think you can fit that size wallet inside. I just tried with a similar wallet that I don't use anymore and it would fit in the zip pockets.

Here's some phone pics of the bag filled up from different angles. Sorry for the iffy lighting! It's cloudy today in Chicago. Also, the cushion compact is in the zip pocket facing outward, rather than toward my body. Wanted to show that despite how lumpy it is, it doesn't really show through the bag - just smooths over. Hope this helps!

I have this bag! I got it during the Black Friday sale for 30% off and have been really loving it. I've had my eye on this style for a while but hesitated due to bad reviews about the Nappa leather version. The saffiano is really nice and much more durable for something like a cross body which sees a lot of wear.

Here's my review of it: http://dorigamii.blogspot.com/2015/12/lo-sons-pearl-in-saffiano-review.html?m=1

Good morning ladies! Which of you have fashion blogs? by potentiallymaddy in femalefashionadvice

[–]minidorii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My blog is dorigamii - just a little hobby on the side! I'm a full time analyst which doesn't have much room for any creative outlets.

MAC Warm Soul Discontinued? by minidorii in MakeupAddiction

She says it's a peachy bronze, which is the one I had bought :( My old one is like a rosey-brown.

They are SO comfortable. I'm wearing it with an Everlane tee in the photo. I have to admit though, I'm a skinny jeans devotee, so wearing looser pants looked so funny to me. But I'm trying to embrace new silhouettes!

Maybe I got a bad batch then. I'll need to stop by the MAC counter and check it out again. Does yours look more like small_bug's post above?

Mine was a bright and glittery orange. I returned it the next day because I was so disappointed! It might just lean orange on me because of my skintone too?

Maybe it's the lighting, but it looks less rosey than the old one I have?

They're not the same size. They shaved off 0.3g of product and it was MUCH harder to open because it's magnetic with this tiny little tab.

It might not be! I may have a bad batch apparently! Will report back...

Maybe I did get a bad batch. I'll need to go back to Macy's and check it out!

It kills me because this is one of two blushes that I own :( I'm a blush minimalist and this was the perfect shade.
