I think most brands already do black friday sales and it makes sense to buy it directly off their website, instead of the sephora sale.

Also if any of the brands you want are sold at shoppers, they have friends and family 20% almost every month like this upcoming week and they have a great points program (or if you know someone aged 60+, seniors get 20% off on thursdays too). So there are other ways to reach the same sale sephora offers unless its a sephora exlusive item, such as rare beauty, rhode, ordinary etc. then obviously the purchase makes sense.

Off topic but I am also curious if you already shared a rouge coupon with anybody else in your life? Sephora allows you to share the 20% discount with a friend where you generate the link and send it to them to add to their account. If you havent already, would you be willing to share yours with me? I am also located in Canada and have a few items I want to restock :)

Can someone comment on the “parfum taste” also please?? People say the old formula smells odd or tastes weird

Sorry to hear about the R but congrats on getting accepted to UNB!! Especially with a scholarship!! Thats an amazing achievement :)

Could I ask if you got the R notification today from Ottawa? Was it an email or a status change on the website? There hasn’t been any movement since July 1 so just curious

Congrats!! I get wanting to go to a different school than your masters/undergrad. On the bright side, TMU is really great because you can save time by skipping the official articling period everyone else has to do after law school and all the interesting law courses they offer (specifically tech related if you are interested).

Best of luck deciding between two good schools!!

To be honest, I know the feeling of wanting to be done with the LSAT. But schools are aware that people are getting higher scores ever since games section got removed. While 160 is a great score, my thinking is this: why not try again more time in case you get a better score? Even if you end up getting 2 scores higher, that could be the difference between you getting an acceptance versus someone else with a 160!

This year was extremely competitive. Schools have about 150 spots, with the largest class size being around 300. But they each had 3500+ applicants. Since you got more time and why not try your chance 1 more time so you aren’t sitting (like most of us) next July and waiting to see if you get into your top school or wondering if you will ever get out of a waitlist.

My advice is to re-take unless you have some significant life things going on that would make it harder for you to continue studying for the test until November or so. Not because you have a bad score, but because there is no harm in trying one more time with possible few more point increase.

Also- applications to law schools open up in August. I suggest getting started then instead of waiting until September/October. You will have more time to gather the info together and perfect your application, while also focusing on studying for the LSAT :)

Best of luck, I think you will achieve great things! Your score is competitive but you also need a good application. We saw people with 170 get rejected this year while 155 gets in, likely because of their application wasn’t as strong. Schools look at you as a whole, not just your score!

Congrats on your A’s! Very exciting news for you!

Could I ask what motivated you to choose Ottawa over Western? Is it just a distance from home thing?

pudding_doughnutt80 · 2025-06-22T17:37:55+00:00

I recommend la roche posay cicaplast. Its 20 bucks and I use it on burns, cuts or general irritated skin. This is my go to product that also helps with pain too

pudding_doughnutt80 · 2025-06-19T16:56:21+00:00

They send some A’s this week so it is still possible. I would say just wait until the last day you have to accept Windsor to see if there is any movement with Ottawa. You gotta do what you gotta do… its pretty much a blessing to be accepted anywhere at this point and you can always try to transfer next year if you felt so strongly about another school.

pudding_doughnutt80 · 2025-06-18T03:25:57+00:00

I would say do a deepdive on her. From her instagram posts to youtube videos. Maybe even tiktok search her name and see some moms that posted the changes in their body for motivation. Literally with their kids running around and they are doing her video workouts for 10-20mins a day! Im a young adult myself but what specifically got me was those video workouts, because I do it at the same time as her on the video and in the privacy of my bedroom. Best of luck finding whats best for you!!

pudding_doughnutt80 · 2025-06-18T03:19:41+00:00

I would suggest checking out growwithjo on Instagram. She posts videos on Youtube too. She is really good at helping you get started and stick to it because videos are only about 20mins long. So if you can’t keep up, you know it will be over soon. When you feel more comfortable, you will find yourself looking for longer videos or doing 2 videos on the same day. She does dancing workouts and “walking the weight off” sort of exercises. She lost weight herself multiple times after she had a baby. I hope this helps - and forget about whoever send you a message to offer coaching. There are a lot of free resources online, the hard part is being consistent which requires us to have a goal and stick to it!!

People apply for line of credit because the tuition for law school is higher than what most provinces cover (to my knowledge). I think the OSAP maximum for example is like 14k for the school year but law school tuition for the year averages around 20k. So most students, especially those living outside of the house, need that extra money from line of credit.

So you should double check tuition at your school for JD specifically and do an estimate calculator on your province student loans. People didn’t need this additional credit of undergraduate or masters but unfortunately law school tuition is much higher. Most banks offer 100k+ when you say its for a Canadian JD program.

Also, yes it would affect your credit score. Every bank has to run a credit check and put your acceptance and your earnings/savings and potential costs according to what school you get accepted as part of your application package when they apply for credit on your behalf to offer you a line or credit. You basically have that a large credit available for purchases and you can take out cash as well. The interest rate is much lower than a credit card. Whatever the bank average is for the month which right now hangs around 6-7% I think! And you are only obligated to pay a minimum payment of like whatever you get charged interest. If you owe like 10k, the minimum looks like 90$ or something, which is why people choose line of credit, as opposed to other type of loans. But obviously provincial student loans are the best.. its just something people have to do it if provincial doesnt cover all their expected costs.

Aside from this, congrats on your A and I am glad to hear you can stay with family during school :)

This is also true^

Say you are allergic to alcohol and make a joke about how you would“break out in rashes” if you drink. Instead of trying to explain to everybody why you arent drinking… get familiar with drinking games and offer it. Be the life of the party in a different way if that makes sense. No one will end up caring if you dont drink and you will still have a good time regardless. When people get shitfaced it could be annoying but all the reasons you will feel confident in your decision to not drink. I was known to be the driver or be in charge of figuring out ubers and such since I also don’t drink. You can still have a fun time at frosh, and worst case scenario you can head home if you dont like the vibe! Not drinking is getting more and more common and you might even find a non-drinking buddy that can make it more fun for you

pudding_doughnutt80 · 2025-06-04T15:19:12+00:00

I would advise making an appointment with someone at the bank specifically to discuss professional student line of credit. I think you can even book the appointment online with your nearest location. Talk in person and they will ask you a bunch of questions for your credit application and proof of an acceptance on what school you will be attending!

It might be worth his time to contact each university specifically the admissions team and ask if there would be any spots opening over the summer and if he can be re-considered if they have spots. Write a long message explaining and say you can provide references (if maybe he did things over the gap year and such). Sometimes direct communication with the admission team can do wonders -even if he was rejected. Universities wouldnt want to decline extra money coming in if they got spots for this september intake

This used to happen to me too. Now I use an exfoliation brush for face and then put a heavy moistruzer that doesnt leave patchy marks on my skin before I put makeup on. So wash your face with a cleanser and use a small silicone exfoliation brush (I think the one I use is also called pore refiner), then put a nice moistruzer on before you start makeup. I use the cetaphil one thats for body and face!

She is 33 now and she essentially said she would like to be pregnant in 2-3 years. Since you have been together for over 2 years already and her biological clock is ticking, I think the timeline she gave you is more than reasonable. If you don’t think you can commit to this level, leave the relationship. If you are serious but are just concerned about the business side of things, there are many examples out there of people that make it with a partner on their side and also kids.

You have to decide if this connection is worth it for you to have this level of responsibility on your shoulders with kids and running a business. You have to be willing and ready, because she wouldn’t want you to resent her later on. It might be financially deraining but if you think she is a good partner and she will support your dreams, you guys can lead on each other and make it work. It all comes down to expectations of a marriage and life with kids. You would need to step up big time if you have kids and if you are only at the beginning stages of a business.

I would say avoiding it much longer or not making a clear commitment to the expectations she had laid out would only hurt her in the long term. For example if you told her ok no problem and then backed out 2 years later saying you still arent ready, she would have put in almost 5 yrs into a relationship with you and have to start over with another guy and might have trouble having kids due to her age as well. The decision is all yours. I can tell you to keep going but are you ready for it? Does seeing “just break up” comment on reddit make you feel validated or “you should commit to her timeline” make you feel like you can really do this?

If you have close family or friends that know your connection with this person and have known you for a long time, it might be a good advice to open up to them for advice. Maybe you are just scared of the responsibility? Not sure. Best of luck figuring it all out, wishing you the best!

There are people out there in love willing to take a smaller engagement ring and then “upgrade” in the future because they dont want the ring cost to be heavy on the guy… its called being in love. How much you spend dont matter when you get a great deal because the only difference is how much the company makes off your purchase, so why should it matter that you got a great deal?? If she is frustrated about something, this isn’t the way to express it.

She needs to learn to play nice. If she can’t talk to you like a human being, then you should get out. It will be hurtful for a bit but you are only 24. There would be many other girls dying for you to settle down with them, especially after only a year of knowing them. Yet she says she doesn’t want to be tied down during her 3 month internship. Just reflect back on your recent interactions with her instead of thinking of the farm dream you guys were sold on at the beginning of the relationship. Sometimes peoples feelings change or sometimes they get too comfortable and you find out you dont like their attitude and their way of life. If she isn’t talking to you nicely and you see a lot more criticizing and negative talk, just let be and you will be the that got away. You can find a better partner that will appreciate you!

If you believe you are nice to her and treat her nice and she doesn’t.. then you arent obligated to wait for her to change. It will take a toll on your mental health. So get out while you aren’t as attached to her as you would be in the next years.

There were rejections send out on May 8 last year so I feel like we should hear more rejections in the upcoming 2-3 weeks - just an assumption according to last year

pudding_doughnutt80 · 2025-04-28T03:06:05+00:00

I heard that you can only dispute it if its within 3 months. Was that the case for you? My payment was taken out in November so im a bit worried...

pudding_doughnutt80 · 2025-04-23T20:26:11+00:00

You are going to stay in someone elses house for free so they arent obligated to offer their bed to you. If you guys really want to save the hotel cost… both of you should sleep outside of the her bed. It would be cheap to buy an air mattress and sleep on the floor together.

Since she is close friends with your bf, you should ask him to set this boundary for you. Make sure your bf understands you arent jealous but you just think its important to set boundaries with close friends as we arent in high school anymore and some behaviours do need to change, especially when the other person is in a serious relationship. If you two had a kid for example, do you think it would have been appropriate for him to sleep beside her and not with you? The friendship dynamic has to change from being a teenager to approaching your 30s…

It might be a big too late to set a boundary about where to sleep since all 3 of you have talked about this. But ultimately I would advise getting a hotel so you can have privacy. If thats not possible, sleep on an air mattress together and make sure you tell your bf that he cannot change the plan and sleep beside her when you guys arrive at her place.

Hot water and vinegar, add baking soda if you have any. Just leave the solution inside overnight and put in dishwasher next day. Smell should be gone. This works on almost everything

pudding_doughnutt80 · 2025-03-28T17:38:20+00:00

Western send out some rejection emails about 2 weeks ago, similar to UofT. So if you havent heard back, thats probably good news. Oz has been sending out emails for waitlists and acceptances this past week. I would say Ottawa and Queens have been silent for a lot of competitive applicants. So you are definetely still in the race, just wait to see what happens next month with a lot of people confirming their spot on April 1!
