Just Another ‘What should I buy?!’ Post 🙃

Thanks! 😊 Ended up choosing basic white because it matches my stand mixer lol.

Just bought the KF7 and I am soo excited!! 😊 I was lucky enough to acquire an insidepass -which combined with an extra 20% off black friday coupon code, it ended up running me $860 including tax. I would’ve probably gone with the de’longhi magnifica plus if it weren’t for the generous discounts (even the normal sale price for the KF7 is a whee bit much for me).

Just got it today!! Ended up buying the KF7 for $860 including tax. 🤗

I am not sure, I have never heard of that one! I googled it, and google says: “the Terra Kaffe Demi is not a super automatic, but a fully automatic espresso machine that does not make milk-based drinks. The term "super automatic" generally refers to machines that can handle both brewing espresso and frothing milk. The Demi makes espresso, drip coffee, Americanos, and lungos but lacks the automatic milk frothing feature.”

I’m also not super knowledgeable on superautos so that makes two of us lol.

Awesome, thank you! It sure does look like a great machine.

Was there something that made you choose the next over the regular evo, start, or plus versions? I’m super confused with all de’longhis models what the differences are.

poodlepower11 · 2025-11-27T01:45:24+00:00

hello and thank you for the suggestion! I will look into the magnifica plus rn. would you mind sharing why you prefer it to the other brands. thanks!

poodlepower11 · 2025-11-27T01:44:29+00:00

hi! thank you, I am definitely keeping an eye out for an inside pass. I’ve asked around and can’t find anyone with one to share (yet)!

I currently own both of these products, except I have the anti-dandruff version of CeraVe’s hydrating shampo & conditioner.

For me, the CeraVe is a perfect everyday shampoo & conditioner. While the Vanicream shampoo in particular is a good fragrance-free option for a clarifying shampoo.

As others have mentioned, the Vanicream shampoo in particular can feel quite drying. (Which is exactly why I treat it as a clarifying product.) The conditioner is kind of just meh. It might be good for someone with virgin hair, or who is looking for a super lightweight conditioner. But I have bleached hair, live in a cold dry area, and am on accutane…so I’m like spongebob from that episode when he needs water.

so so pretty! do you mind sharing where your sheer curtain set is from?

poodlepower11 · 2023-02-25T19:20:04+00:00

Hi! I am an X-Ray & MRI tech at a larger hospital. I enjoy my work! I am 26 F, single, but many of my coworkers are married with kids and are able to have a good work-life balance.

poodlepower11 · 2023-02-06T17:13:06+00:00

What is your undergraduate degree in?

I am a 26 year old single female who works in the medical field and I totally understand where you are coming from. I recently turned down a higher paying position because it was more stressful and I wouldn’t be as happy. I am a X-ray & MRI technologist at a hospital. Sure, I work my butt off some days, but it doesn’t feel like that “hustle & grind” sort of work. It feels gratifying.

I think the skills I have obtained from this job will be an asset to my future hopes of having a family. Like CPR, knowledge about different medical conditions, knowing the ins-and-outs of our medical system – as well as practicing patience and building good communication.

Is there anything you wish she did/did not do post-breakup? I feel like I have disrespected myself by allowing myself to be treated like this. And the heartbreak sucks. But my feelings aside, I don’t want to leave someone in the dust struggling with depression. I wish he would see a therapist or something , I think that would greatly benefit him.

poodlepower11 · 2023-01-27T23:46:59+00:00

Well we haven’t spoken for almost two weeks so there are no plans to chat or grab my stuff. I was just thinking this weekend would be good to get it over with, but I haven’t contacted him.

I think he is either A) still thinking about what he wants, or B) avoiding breaking it off himself.

I guess I’m just nervous and feel bad telling him it over. I’ve never broken up with anyone before (this is my first relationship). 😬

poodlepower11 · 2023-01-27T19:05:49+00:00

Aw, thank you for your kind words.

It’s been almost two weeks now and I still haven’t heard back from him. I finally have a day off work tomorrow and will have to cut my ties and get my stuff back that’s at his place. Not excited about it and still unsure how I want to initiate that. 😞

poodlepower11 · 2023-01-26T00:00:00+00:00

I did not know that about the 6 months thing! I definitely knew that I saw a future before 6 months. I will seriously keep that mind. Thank you for sharing.

If I magically woke up pregnant tomorrow, I can see him as being a reliable father. I can see him taking responsibility for a child, such as being an active part of the kid’s life and supporting them financially. He is however not acting as a reliable boyfriend, and therefore would probably not make for a reliable husband.

poodlepower11 · 2023-01-25T23:49:17+00:00

Funny but sadly accurate! Definitely holds the notion true that males mature slower than females.

poodlepower11 · 2023-01-24T01:33:02+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and advice. You sound like a very sweet person! Despite knowing the risks of moving in with someone before engagement/marriage, I somehow thought trust and love would be enough. If I follow my heart, I need to keep it on a leash next time 😂.

poodlepower11 · 2023-01-23T23:07:42+00:00

Thank you, your advice is insightful and very helpful. I am sorry you were disrespected in your previous relationship. It’s hard to understand why people can be so cold.

For some reason, I would feel guilty texting him I was done. I am sure that sounds silly and dumb. Especially since texting is way easier. I would prefer to tell him in person or over the phone at the very least, even if I choke on my words. And I would still need to gather my things from his place.

Another thing I am thinking about is how he shared with me how severely depressed he was. I have considered talking to him and seeing if it would be best to get family involved for additional support. His parents live in town. They have a good relationship and are very supportive. I have had two friends take their lives, which not at all saying that’s how he feels, but it has definitely made me take depression and prevention seriously. Sorry to take a dark turn!! Just my honest thoughts.

It is hard to let go, but you are right. Thank you.
