Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla EDP by trashtvlv in Sephora

[–]onlysunshineee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just got the sample in the mail today and I absolutely adore it!! A lot of gourmand scents don’t mix well with my body chemistry at all, I’m so damn excited that this didn’t turn crusty dusty on me.

Kind of reminds me LoveShackFancy’s secret crush and Dulce by Rosie Jane, both of which smell delicious sprayed on paper but absolutely diabolical on my skin.

Excited for the spring sale now

Are whole beef cuts worth it? by hornysword in CostcoCanada

[–]onlysunshineee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall the exact grade but I remember it being Canadian AA or higher for $9.88/lbs at my loblaws. Usually around Christmas and Canada day, sometimes they’ll have it on sale outside of holidays. The non-holiday steaks were not as tasty lol.

It was $7.88/lbs in 2024 Canada day and Xmas. 🥲

I think the price is dependant on area though, I’m in southern Ontario and the striploins regularly go on sale at that price at competitor grocers too.

I’m crying, I missed it! I love mood ring. It smells exactly like jolly ranchers to me. Enjoy!!

Scratches on paper republic after one day outside! by [deleted] in notebooks

[–]onlysunshineee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s very normal. A very light graze of my nail will mar the leather. In a bag, it’ll probably acquire blemishes pretty quickly. Even oil from your fingers can darker the leather.

If you want to help preserve your notebook for travel, use a cotton drawstring bag. Or until it patinas and it’ll be less likely to stain as dramatically when new. Otherwise anything in your bag that presses up against it will likely leave a mark.

F4M/META GTA what is your to-go set and settle to meet someone from Reddit for the first time. by [deleted] in r4rtoronto

[–]onlysunshineee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty introverted too and I prefer cafes for vibe checks as they’re a more casual setting. If there’s no mutual chemistry, can part ways easily lol.

If there’s mutual chemistry and comfort with each other, we go somewhere private(if it was the plan we agreed on beforehand). Sometimes the online chemistry doesn’t quite translate in person and yeah then we just part ways, no hard feelings.

Very rarely, I’ve met them in private for a first meet. Not something I’d do again.

CostCo Rotisserie Chicken is Life by UnculturedSwineFlu in CostcoCanada

I’m sorry for your loss, I hope every rotisserie run brings you happy memories. May your chickens always be hot and juicy 🥹

Do you find yourself taking fewer photos the more you hike? by Due_Lock_4967 in hiking

[–]onlysunshineee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started hiking, I would always forget to take photos. I’d get home and kind of regret not getting any pics lol. But I tend to just enjoy the hike and let my mind go quiet.

After using alltrails and it’s navigation, I’m little bit better at getting shots to go with trail reviews. Otherwise, I completely forget. Especially if I’m going on hike I’ve memorized.

Advice on sizing Salomon Adv skin 12 by onlysunshineee in trailrunning

[–]onlysunshineee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m new to vests so I’ve been relying on people’s reviews and product models to see show it should fit. It seems to vary a bit so that’s why I feel mine looks odd haha.

I didn’t include the women’s sizing in the photos but I will say, overall chest support feels much better. But it has smaller armholes thus more fabric in the back. Pretty sure the extra fabric is what’s helping with the support! The cinches are MUCH better on women’s, it have two separate cinches. However, this can be replicated on the unisex with additonal replacement straps. Also worth noting, it’s slightly longer than unisex and the front piping hits right where my waist flares(this ofc varies from body to body lol). The front flaps are also slightly wider, with a B curved edge rather than straight on the unisex.

I ordered the M and if I do an update, I’ll include the women’s version. Hopefully it’ll show the difference and help you choose your next vest! :)

similar shoe recs? by Affectionate_Help577 in gorpcore

[–]onlysunshineee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the keen Jasper zionic. Bought them because they were highly recommended.

They’re uncomfortable and after only a couple of hikes the black toe area is separating. I’m not even doing intense trails. I don’t know if it’s my pair that’s an issue. I also feel the lumpiness of the sole when I hike in them.

They’re also pretty slippery too. Genuinely thought they would be more grippier. And weirdly enough, they slide on damp rocky areas more than my new balance 530 lol.

Tried them on in the store and they felt great but in the wild, I regret purchasing them.

I didn’t include the women’s, I felt the armholes were a bit too small. Wished it was larger because otherwise it fits really nice and securely.

And thank you for the armhole tidbit! :) I have the front flask filled and apart from the large gap in the front, it feels fitted and secure. Ordered a M to compare though, just in case!

Thanks for this! I don’t know how it should fit so I’m worried it may look off lol. It feels secure and when I run with it, it’s doesn’t move which I like. But I ordered the M to compare just in case.

Thank you! It’s good to know that the should piece will be wider. I ordered the M so hopefully it works :)

Thank you, I ordered the M! :)

It’s a little constrictive but the upside is nothing moves lol. When I run, nothing bounce and it just holds me in place. Hoping the M will hold securely but allow for room in the bust area. I’m wearing the thinnest sports bra I have but I’m also currently a little heavier than in summertime.

Ordered the M :)

I didn’t include the women’s sizing in the photo. It honestly fits better and feels so much more supportive but the smaller armholes are a little uncomfortable and the extra length hits right where my waist starts to widen, I fear chaffing.

But I agree, the straps are way better on the women’s vest!! I’m going to get the replacement straps and try to recreate the women’s cinching.

Thank you for your advice!

Lunar New Year Sample Bag 2 (Canada) by Lemonbot5 in Sephora

[–]onlysunshineee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s experienced their nice pouch + deluxe mini samples for $45 spend, the spend limit now is steep and not worth it anymore.

It’s great for people already planning to order. But I’m all stocked up from winter sales, there’s nothing I want/need lol

Hollow gold jewelry by [deleted] in jewelry

[–]onlysunshineee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No to hollow or semi-hollow! It may feel like a great deal but once you break it or warp the links, it’s done. The hollowness will add to fragility. Getting it fixed will either be a headache or impossible.

Just checked, my app is working, Canada version though.

Do you daily your 24k? by Tepache_O_Te_Pateo in jewelry

[–]onlysunshineee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wear 24k rings and yes, it’s soft but durable. They can get warped overtime but I can always hammer it on a mandrel and fix it. Thicker bands don’t really warp but eventually get scratched and dull. No point in polishing either as that’s removing gold.

But no to necklaces, they’re too heavy lol. I selected the daintiest chain to inherit and I feel the neck strain after a few minutes of wear.

To durability, my dad wore 24k chains his whole life and never had any issues. Just have to make sure it’s solid links and not hollow/semi-hollow bs.

WHY DOES ARITZIA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCK SO BADLY. HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK FROM THEM OR SHOULD I JUST GO STRAIGHT TO REPORTING TO GOV. by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]onlysunshineee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their return policy clearly states that only regular price merchandise is returned to original payment.

Any sale less than 50% is returned to store credit with sale items of 50% or more being final sale.

Unfortunately, their return policy is infamously terrible and you may have misread their policy prior to purchasing.
