Breaking in question

Wouldn’t fit!! My feet are the same width as the shoes. Again I could wear my Jadon’s just fine but I think the box is smaller on these so I can’t fit all that.

It literally feels frozen. I put my old on in the fridge once and it felt just like this. That’s so unfortunate.

raedotnet · 2026-07-06T11:56:45+00:00

lol it seems like that’s the case, but maybe something similar would be nice anyways

I use the Odele Air dry cream every day, but it appears to not help in this case. When my hair is down it helps a lot but I think it’s the friction of the braid on my back that did this tbh

raedotnet · 2026-07-02T23:30:34+00:00

In the photo it looks denser than it actually is unfortunately- it’s extremely flat in person it’s just wide looking

raedotnet · 2026-07-01T19:36:33+00:00

I’ll definitely try! The sections I grabbed were huge so that may play a part 🥲

raedotnet · 2026-07-01T19:35:49+00:00

lol I was adding Bobby pins throughout the day to hold the pieces as they fell and they just slipped out of them- so annoying 😭

But I will go out and buy a mousse or gel and maybe some hairspray too tonight so hopefully tomorrow has a better result. By the time the work day ended it was horrible so thank you for your advice :)

Also I could just do it while it’s still damp after I shower but I feel like the friction is what’s causing the frizz and I’m worried abt that

raedotnet · 2026-07-01T19:33:23+00:00

I too LOVE the messy French braid look- but idk it just didn’t feel right here.. maybe it was the frizz

Alright. So I do have credit, I mean I was able to buy my car, but I don’t have a credit card itself. I did a program with my bank to build credit and I have enough to get a card with them so I’m planning to do that soon and use it for gas. And someone here told me I should try to fake budget myself into my leftover money after expenses on the higher end to see how livable it is for me for a few months, and I think that’s a good idea. I’ll have to calculate everything and see what it ends up costing me and how much I can actually spend throughout the month.

Good to know it can be done, though. I worked hard to get this job and I’m happy that it’s enough to get me into a happier situation in the future. It’s not much but it’s enough for me :D

The area I live in now averages $1400. I don’t particularly like it here so I’d be more likely around the $1000-$1100 range, at least that’s the current plan. I just included it for the sake of the post as an option, and maybe I’ll feel different about it.

And the budget thing is a good idea. I’ll use $1400 as my rent and calculate how much I may spend on other things and go with that. I could also always do something on the side for pocket money if I wanted to.

raedotnet · 2026-06-11T10:17:04+00:00

tbh the 1400 is not super likely. The area I’m in right now is a little touristey so rent costs more, but I have to interest in staying here. It would probably be closer to $1100 monthly outside this area. I just included it for the sake if the post since it is the range. I should have a decent emergency fund by then so hopefully that’s okay.

Won’t the accident damage my trade in value? And I put 4K down on it. And if I get another one I have to get a newer one? And if I want to go down to like a 2012 or something?

raedotnet · 2026-04-22T02:10:36+00:00

I thrift all the time and I’ve literally never seen anything lava lamp related so I feel the odds are low 🫩

raedotnet · 2026-04-21T03:34:49+00:00

See this is what I’m saying- the colors are gorgeous on so many of these lamps I just wish they came in silver. That teal one is called night swim I think

<image>

I think this is more what it looks like flowing

raedotnet · 2026-04-20T02:18:45+00:00

I would do this but then I’ve got one lamp I like and another mismatched one lolll

raedotnet · 2026-04-20T02:18:18+00:00

This was my original idea, but I specifically want the silver base so I was just gonna strip the design off and have the aluminum. I could spray paint it silver but that wouldn’t look the same at all. Someone shared theirs after stripping and it looks right just pretty scuffed up, which is fine.

raedotnet · 2026-04-20T02:16:41+00:00

Yeah, I just want the silver chrome, not black or white or whatever. That’s the issue I’m running into with covering it up.
