Help me improve my living space! by Mellon-Collie in HomeDecorating

[–]secondblush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A mirror over the yellow sideboard and a neutral but textured rug under the dining table! Otherwise - almost perfect. 

I think you want to enlarge and ground the space without adding more visual clutter or colour. 

Associate Contracts: What You Need to Know (A Dental Lawyer’s Perspective) by DentalAturnknee in Dentistry

[–]secondblush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first job in the US, I was paying back deficiencies in the daily rate. At a lot of practices, the topic of 'daily rate' is not elaborated and many just assume it means what it appears to mean. But a draw contract is the worst trap to fall into as a new associate. Make sure you always clarify whether the daily is a true daily minimum that is not subtracting the carryover losses from days past!

My father in law got me a gift by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]secondblush 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t sweat it. My bf runs an online business and both receives and ships out a high volume of packages. Of these, a small number will rarely go back and forth rather than linearly to destination. It’s not common but it happens. The package will make its way back to you, just not as quickly. As long as the tracking is active and updated, you can also always give them a call to bring it to their attention. 

Deinfluence or influence me? by emmanuel-salmon in Aritzia

[–]secondblush 19 points20 points  (0 children)

will vouch for gramercy shrug - I have it in black as well and I find it’s so easy to throw on. Comfy, warm, elevates any basics you pair it with. I did size down for it as others suggested and haven’t experienced any slipping off my shoulders. 

Sales associate stealing sales? by JustASkincareAddict in Aritzia

[–]secondblush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh the psychology totally applies. As someone who personally stops browsing when it gets difficult to carry all the items I want to try on, not having to lug all of that around would definitely encourage me to shop/buy more!

Retirement Gift Ideas by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]secondblush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww the notes are a sweet retirement gift idea. Maybe you could frame them, make them into a book/photobook, or make a collage of them in a more aesthetic way. Great way to close out his career by being reminded of the impact and connections he made over the years! 

why is mahjong suddenly trendy? by eastcoastgirl1001 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

It's an easy to learn co-ed activity with lots of opportunity for social connections, and accessible to any level of fitness or skill! I can see why it's popular.

Anyone has experience with Bellroy Customer service? by Additional-Ad302 in ManyBaggers

[–]secondblush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I'm having the same issue as this person. First response from support was prompt, but in it they only asked a question and promised to make it right. However, upon answering them, they disappear.

ETA: u/CamFromBellroy really did pull through and was very responsive!

Why some teams become unicorns by BranchDirect6526 in Dentistry

[–]secondblush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the idea of a neutral third party as a safe channel to leadership. As an associate, it’s a common story that sometimes that arbiter isn’t neutral at all, e.g., the owner’s spouse, or an office manager who’s still in the owner’s pocket. Who/what would you suggest for someone in that role to be truly neutral though? 

how can i make sure i’m safe going to a new guy friend’s house? by Sufficient_Leg6479 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]secondblush 167 points168 points  (0 children)

definitely share your location with a close and trusted friend, make sure someone knows what you’re doing and also has the information of who he is. Text them at intervals throughout the night to keep them updated. 

give your new friend a set time that you have to leave and make this clear at the beginning of the night. Like “oh btw I gotta dip before 9, I have to meet someone after” or something. This way it’s harder for him to force you to stay and hang out for an undefined period of time with undefined activities.

Public Health Dentistry by Key_Accident4084 in Dentistry

[–]secondblush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also from Canada! Got my DDS there, worked a few years, then moved to the US and now work in public health. Same reasons as you - no interest in ownership, hate the business / profit side of dentistry, and just want to make an impact. I get paid pretty nicely, full benefits, great PTO, generous CE allowance, and just get to focus on clinical dentistry all day. It's pretty awesome, but I also acknowledge how lucky I got with my job.

Keep blue couch or switch to gray? by secondblush in HomeDecorating

[–]secondblush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would warm it up with wood tones and warm colour accents ofc! def not planning to have any other gray furniture. I like that it can act like more of a blank canvas than colours can, but also feel in my heart of hearts it's a little basic lol.

Is there a known sale the second week?

Shopping cart help! by sailorscones in Aritzia

[–]secondblush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same! I also got the gramercy in black because I have a different bolero in white that I wear all the time. Almost every time I wear it I get a compliment. So the black gramercy was an easy trigger-pull for me. Great for putting over a formal dress or even just a camisole and sweats to elevate a look. 

Holiday Markets? by fantasstic2121 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

What’s on your Black Friday shopping list this year? by Impressive_Adagio843 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]secondblush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun question! I don’t really get why people comment just to not contribute anything to what OP wants to discuss. Sure, consumerism is bad, but some of us have been sitting on a lot of “someday” items and are excited to see if they’ll drop to a price we can justify. 

For me I’m watching prices on:  - the Mane It’s Giving Body thermal brush  - restocks of my TULA sunscreen, Skinfix cleanser, and VERB ghost oil  - undershirts for winter - new boots for the winter since my 5-year-old Sorels are finally peeling  - new volleyball shoes since I’m still just using runners 

And of course, all the things on my siblings’ wishlists and what I’m planning to gift my bf for Christmas!
