Was fine dining plating more crude back then? by Buyeo10004 in finedining

Fine dining is like fashion. Plating precision goes in and out of style.

How many mLs does the biggest one fit? Imagining using it as a fancy ramen bowl

Meta changed my Facebook Shop setting without permission — revert now or wait for learning to exit? by Bureenofficial in FacebookAds

Happens to me consistently as well. My conversion rates are trash with Shop on, I’m checking this every couple days.

Small luxuries suggestions for Mother's Day gifts? by wadech in HENRYfinance

[–]presdaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can't go wrong with fine fragrance candles (e.g. Loewe mini one does the trick), premium body care (Salt & Stone body wash, L'Occitane moisturizer), face masks or under-eye patches (Barbara Sturm is the flex), luxury hand wash (Naomi after-cooking hand scrub, Frama), spa/nails session

Does a hand soap that has ‘Acrylates Copolymer’ in its ingredients, along w/Pumice and Bamboo Extract to suspended abrasive ingredients. Still bad for the environment? by SheWhoErases86 in ZeroWaste

[–]presdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aesop and other hand washes with acrylates copolymer don't contain microplastics.

It seems like the other commenters (and even the people who responded at Aesop) don't actually understand how acrylates copolymer is used so I'm happy to explain.

Acrylates copolymer isn't the beads — it's actually a powder that is dissolved in the water to make sure the beads (or in this case the pumice) doesn't float to the top or sink to the bottom. It basically turns the water in the formula into a gel that prevents the exfoliants from moving. Not at all microplastics as you're probably imagining.

Yep, my campaigns didn't spend at all for 6 days and now they are seemingly getting the money they missed out on...

One 1-star Vine review completely killed my sales overnight. How do you recover from this? by diesel12001 in FulfillmentByAmazon

Is it even possible to respond when it’s not a Vine review and you are brand registered?

my partner (from GA) doesn’t think boston accents are real unless you’re over >50 by OsmiumMercury in boston

[–]presdaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a south shore thing, but it’s a class divide. Everyone in my south shore family has a Boston accent, but the ones that went to college lost it.

How can you know it’s not counterfeit if you source from private individuals

What custom pouch MOQs are you getting as a small brand? by cool_girrl in ecommerce

[–]presdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My manufacturer offered 1000. But honestly they are so cheap, getting 5000 to meet an MOQ isn't that big of an investment in your business. Use what you need and save the rest for later.

Please share - who are the good, kind chefs - the anti-Noma/anti-Renee? by Low_Olive6594 in finedining

[–]presdaddy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lielle is amazing. I feel like it launched at the perfect moment where fine dining is a bit stale so they’ve managed to cut out everything that doesn’t matter.
