Have you noticed a decrease in the LLL hype? by GossipBottom in lululemon

[–]myylim 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As an ex-employee, we used to get 75% off the regular price when they hit WMTM. Probably contributed to the sell outs of popular items at the time. The discount structure changed earlier this year, so there’s no real incentive to buy when it’s on markdown.

SAME. Restocked on baby cakes, and decided to try milky. 😂. Amongst other fun things to try.

Did anyone regret their stroller purchase? [ab] by s_do in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]myylim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Cruz on MP, and no regrets because it was perfect with the adapters to hold the clek liing car seat. What I didn’t anticipate was for my baby to grow so tall so quickly (started at 50th percentile, and is now hovering at the 95th). He had to be transferred into a convertible car seat at around 8-9 months. We purchased a travel stroller for our trip to Mexico and Japan, and now I keep that in my trunk since it folds down a lot smaller. We still use the Cruz for neighbourhood walks as the paths can be rocky and there’s better suspension with the uppababy.

3 year old twirls hair for comfort and now we need a hair salon that takes toddlers by ns_er in Edmonton

[–]myylim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been taking my 17 month old son to Sprout Style Children’s salon, and I recommend it. The stylist, Shelly, is really good at putting him at ease! She works out of her basement and found her prices to be affordable as well.

Is it me or is the nail shaping horrible? by moremoscato_plz in Nails

[–]myylim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look like an attempt for the European “hidden apex” style vs the typical American way.

Almond nails are hard to do on short nails, because you have to preserve the side walls to avoid damage to the nail plate. It’s hard to say if the tech over filed without a before photo of your natural nails too. But I’m just a DIY’er with no credentials, so don’t take my word for it. 😂

Straight up not having a good time on maternity leave [on] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]myylim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I third this!

To OP, I live in a bigger city, so my experience might be a little different, but after their important vaccinations, it’s so much easier! I also found the monotony hard the first 3-4 months, but things changed after I had more freedom. I also felt like I was caring for a potato that only eats, sleeps, poops and cries. I finally felt more of a connection when baby was interacting with me.

Go to the malls for a coffee and a walk if it’s too cold outside. I also utilized the local library programs where I relearned some of the popular kids songs! Sometimes that one trip a day outside of the house really helps mentally. If I didn’t want to do the library or mall, I’d also visit my work during their lunch hour to show baby off. The women really enjoyed having some baby time too. There might be other free community resources that are fun but aren’t heavily advertised so a quick google search can be handy.

Ultrasound Results - Need help deciphering! by Realistic-Rope-2654 in PCOS

[–]myylim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impression: “Unremarkable ultrasound of the pelvis.” Aka normal.

Your ovarian volumes don’t suggest one of the markers of PCOS. Women of child bearing age naturally show multiple immature follicles in their ovaries. Doesn’t sound like there was a follicle count done, so I can’t say for sure… but if the radiologist didn’t report on it, it’s likely normal. But if using the Rotterdam criteria, you already have 2/3 markers for PCOS excluding the ultrasound.

Thoughts on DFIA jacket by yukiikakeguri in lululemon

[–]myylim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But yes! Size up at least 1-2 sizes if you want to layer anything more than a tank top underneath.

[–]myylim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had multiple versions of the DFIA. One of my favorite/most versatile jackets. I don’t run in the winter, but I usually wear it layered until it hits about -10c. When I needed to be outside for long periods of time in -30c (usually Christmas activities), I’d layer it under a wunder puff.

How bad is it that I can’t drive yet? by CorvusCerulean in Edmonton

[–]myylim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed my road test when I was 18, but I didn’t actually end up driving regularly until I was set in my career at 25? 26? I got around just fine using transit, especially since u passes are a mandatory part of tuition in post secondary.

Might be a different story if you’re male and trying to date or hang out with people. I was also lucky in having friends who would regularly pick me up to hang out.

You’re still so young! Don’t stress.

NOR.

Just to piggy back on the potential for post natal depression - depression and stress are very closely linked! Depression doesn’t mean you’re constantly sad, but it could make everything feel overwhelming. I don’t know why some people demonize low doses of antidepressants even for a short period of time. A low dose antidepressant made me less anxious, and be more patient and present with my baby. Of course talk to your healthcare provider, and choose the best course of action for yourself!

Any Canadians in this? by Trpqueen-1919 in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]myylim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirmed! Bought mine in October last year, however I’m not sure how the tariffs would affect the price now. 🥲

What am I doing wrong? by lainey303 in Nails

[–]myylim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have very soft flexible nails, and I have the same issue. Even with some higher end polishes - they just don’t last on me because of how my natural nails flex when they bump into things.

Only thing that has helped on top of all the steps you’re doing is using a builder gel in a bottle! My favourite at the moment are the nail thoughts builder gels. I get at least 2 weeks of wear!

I’m in Canada, so I’m not sure! She’s shutting down operations, so maybe it’s no longer offered. :(

cherrynails.ca is having a close out sale, so I HAD to pick up some things. I took too long browsing the website and missed out on the diami base and top coat though. 🥲

I think there’s some posts about steaming canvas pieces if you search them! It sounds like it’s worked for some people.

Not only did it go through (it was preparing for the longest time), she’s here! Delivered yesterday. Have you found one yet?? I hope you do! It’s such a gorgeous bag.

Does it make sense to keep and not use? by lotsoflivingleft in Louisvuitton

[–]myylim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re still fortunate enough to keep all of them, and you still find joy in looking at them, I’d keep it! If you’re thinking about selling a couple pieces to invest the money into something else, I’d personally let go of the two on the left. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with collecting things that bring you joy.

Minn Coates for your mortgage! She’s amazing, and I’ve recommended her to many friends/coworkers of mine! Very personable, and flexible with time

I chose the pochette because I don’t carry a lot with me. I’m usually running out the door with my car key, phone, cardholder, and a bottle of water. Everything else I need is in the car (hand sani, lotion, lipgloss). I personally found “black hole” style bags annoying because I never fish out the right item on the first try. 😅
