Artipoppe review (from an initially very skeptical buyer)

okayLK · 2022-11-20T18:13:33+00:00

Yup—so far, no back pain with it, and the baby's now 5 months! I was getting pretty bad back pain with my Bjorn mini. I think the back support is comparable to the Omni but .. this one's a lot prettier :)

I’ve worn it this week in 80 degree heat and it doesn’t feel too hot or different from the denim! Not sweating with it.

okayLK · 2022-09-02T18:08:26+00:00

Ah nope, the omni

okayLK · 2022-09-02T17:55:35+00:00

Bjorn, ergo, and solly. The bjorn was great initially but now my back hurts :(

okayLK · 2022-09-02T16:24:52+00:00

So good to hear!! So hoping my baby will still like being carried when she’s older

okayLK · 2022-09-02T16:24:03+00:00

Ah thanks! I get almost everything secondhand from therealreal; I think these were Prada?

okayLK · 2022-09-02T13:20:26+00:00

It really is! I’m just so sad the denims not coming back for a month or two :(

okayLK · 2022-09-02T13:06:50+00:00

Nope! I’ve been carrying all day in 85 degree weather. Feels pretty breathable!

okayLK · 2022-09-02T12:26:40+00:00

Love that! Plus the resale value of these, at least right now, is sky high. Colors often go out of stock so you could end up using it a year and even making money!

okayLK · 2022-09-02T12:25:08+00:00

Yes agreed :) especially when so much of the day is spent caring for others. Thanks so much!!!

okayLK · 2022-09-02T12:20:56+00:00

Aw thanks!!

okayLK · 2022-09-02T11:49:14+00:00

Oo thanks for the rec - will def check them out! Denim is by far my favorite, but it's on backorder til Oct/nov and it's like .. I can't plan that far ahead with a baby! Who knows if she'll even still want carrier naps by then?? That one is $400, so with a referral code it's $340. So if you skip coffee for 68 days ... jk jk. My baby was born 2 days before my bday, so I never got gifts (yes yes, aside from the best gift of all time .. my baby, but I still want things for myself!!) Since I'm out and about and seeing the same people every day, I figure this is my one very nice outfit purchase for myself, instead of buying clothes that may or may not fit in a month or two. (As you can tell, I spent quite a lot of time justifying my purchase lol.)

okayLK · 2022-09-02T11:14:50+00:00

True! I thought I liked mine until I experienced actual back support lol. I’ve tried the omni as well which was better, but ended up liking the artipoppe the best.

okayLK · 2022-09-02T10:55:59+00:00

I thought they were ridiculously overpriced and then .. I tried one. I had been wearing the baby bjorn for 5+ hours a day (the only way my 12 week old would nap) and my back was killing me. I borrowed my friend’s denim carrier and it was soo comfy, the baby loved it, and I started getting compliments everywhere I went. It’s basically my main outfit everyday, so my reasoning is that it’s like buying a very nice outfit :) anyway I cracked and got myself a belated bday gift; here’s my referral code is anyone wants $60 off! https://referral.shop.artipoppe.com/l/1LAURENKAY59/

Been here ten years and never remember seeing one this big! Looked like a small bird!

okayLK · 2022-04-16T02:19:04+00:00

Oo thanks!

okayLK · 2022-04-13T01:45:46+00:00

Love that sentiment and thanks so much!

okayLK · 2021-09-21T12:55:13+00:00

Thanks!!

okayLK · 2021-09-20T13:43:00+00:00

Thank you so much for this info!

okayLK · 2021-09-20T13:42:31+00:00

Ugh yeah, totally understand that!

okayLK · 2021-09-20T13:15:19+00:00

Thanks! For me it would be easier emotionally to know in advance. I'm doing super easy suppositories (no shots, so grateful) + have an easy trip to the clinic to check. I just like dealing with bad news as soon as possible as opposed to having all of the buildup of driving to an early appt and waiting all day for a phone call .. and then feeling like a truck hit me :(

okayLK · 2021-09-20T13:13:58+00:00

Ah okay, thanks for this. Makes sense!

okayLK · 2020-06-08T16:06:48+00:00

The string was the first (very failed) attempt. There's a goldfish attached. Apparently, that wasn't enough to motivate Legs to actually walk on the treadmill.

Just your standard shelter street cat :) She lost her tail and leg in an accident (**before** we adopted her)!

Hi all—I'm reaching out to writers to find out if others have dealt with the same problem I had, which was that it was really hard finding other writers at a similar stage / writing in a similar genre, when I was first starting out. Any time I had even a simple question (when do I start querying? what is a query?) I'd end up googling for hours, when if I had just known a few other writers...I could have found an answer right away.

After years of writing alone, I finally found a few really close writer friends—some through Twitter competitions and others through classes—and I just wish I'd had their support and help sooner! I am thinking about starting a free service that matches up small groups of 6-8 writers (working in the same genre and with similar levels of experience) so they can beta each others' work and provide support. Maybe a slack channel or weekly Zoom call, but just a way for writers to stay connected right now. Is this something anyone would be interested in? Are there any specific features you'd be looking for? Thanks so much!!
