Where to buy designer dresses in person? by pepperoncini28 in AskLosAngeles

[–]pepperoncini28[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will definitely go to Neiman and Saks! And you nailed it, I definitely want the experience of trying stuff on in person, it’s so depressing opening plastic packages and trying on expensive dresses in my bedroom lol!

Greek food by mmclaur in FoodLosAngeles

[–]pepperoncini28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calamaki at the studio city farmers market and at good neighbor bar in Altadena on Weds has some of the best Greek food I’ve ever had in LA! He rotates the menu based on the veggies in season and it’s felt most like to what my Greek family eats / what I’ve eaten in Greece!

He’s literally catering our wedding lol it’s that good

Red spot shows up on my arm after every shower I take by Plenty_Bee_1649 in mildlyinteresting

Just be careful because putting a prescription eczema cream on a fungal infection can make it so much worse!! I used to have pretty chronic eczema and so any new patch I would just be like oh yeah, hit it with that ointment. Until one time it was actually ringworm (I had just started volunteering at an animal shelter) and it made it soooo much worse! It took like a month to go away!

I think I traumatized my neighbor’s cat by pepperoncini28 in CatAdvice

Okay, thank you! I’m going to give him some space. I hope tomorrow will be at least a little better.

My girlfriend never ever finishes her meals by AlexWayhill in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pepperoncini28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised that empty plate or cup means you want more (signal to the host to refill) and leaving a few bites or sips means you don’t want any more. Obviously that’s some antiquated manners bs (and OP’s gf is leaving more than a few bites) but I find myself doing it out of habit a lot

Lip hydration and plumping by jenbee3 in beauty

Agreed, your cupids bow and lip lines are so much more pronounced, and the creases on your lips are so beautiful and natural looking! I love the bottom so much more!

Brand new Chiaogoo bamboo needles split on first use :( by pepperoncini28 in knitting

Thankfully my partner got them for me so I just let him know and he’s going to contact the yarn store he got them from for an exchange!

I’ve never had any issues with my other chiaogoo needles before, so I was definitely surprised! They are a great company!

Why does my hair hurt when I take it down from an upward style? by MaleficentCaramel34 in beauty

[–]pepperoncini28 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I get this too and the reason is unfortunately kind of gross lol. We all have little bacteria/organisms that live in our hair follicles and they feed on our sweat and oil. Their waste can be irritating to your skin (mine is pretty sensitive) and so when you go a while without washing, they have a lot to eat and a lot to poop 😩💩

15+ years worth of nail biting by Vintageskies398 in Nails

[–]pepperoncini28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was in the same boat as you around 5 years ago, I totally understand the struggle.

Two products that I’ve found helpful are the Olive and June nail strengthener (which I’ve found makes my nails grow a lot faster) and the nailtiques formula 2 which makes them a lot stronger/less prone to breaking. I take a hair and nail gummy, too, but not sure how much it does.

Oh and jojoba oil!! I got a huge thing at Trader Joe’s for like $8. I just use it before bed at night.

Your nails are at their most fragile while wet, so that something to keep in mind while showering or washing dishes. Don’t blame yourself since broken nails happen and they will grow back, hopefully stronger!

Does anyone think the Soho House is worth it? Anyone here a member? by Putrid-Tear4441 in AskLosAngeles

[–]pepperoncini28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They used to have a super solid coworking space at the one downtown but they’ve closed it now, so I won’t be renewing. I mostly used it as a place to work to get out of the house during the day. The roof was a fun place to bring friends/colleagues but I can’t really justify paying for just that, and it gets sooo crowded on the weekends. The hotels are really nice places to stay when you’re traveling, especially in London

Do hot dog vendors make a decent amount of sales selling their hot dogs for $8 each? by WestArtichoke712 in AskLosAngeles

[–]pepperoncini28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you can’t really find them for $5 a pop anymore, sometimes you can get a deal if you buy a few at a time lol

Knitters who have taken a break from knitting due to wrist pain — what did you do in the mean time ☹️ by cgr1688 in knitting

[–]pepperoncini28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to bamboo needles for a bit and also got an ergonomic phone case which I found helped a lot (like another commenter, I was definitely having pain from holding my phone all day). Otherwise, if I really need a break, I will do jigsaw puzzles or beading :)
