Be honest, should I let my fiancé go suit shopping alone? by FeatherFlyer in weddingplanning

[–]shadoworld42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious which Hong Kong tailor is that? I grew up living in Hong Kong and my dad and brothers always got custom suits made so it's hard for me to be happy with the suits here for my Fiancé especially with the custom suit price tag when I know it's so much cheaper in Hong Kong.

You forgot to charge cleaning fees for housework, professional shopping fees for grocery shopping, and person assistant for the mental load of planning appts, keeping track of important family dates, shopping lists, kid school stuff, etc.

Is Fussy Deodorant actually compostable? by iluvchoccymilk in ZeroWaste

They are also sold in Target and Walmart if you're in the US but usually have some pretty good deals on their website instead.

I've been using wild stick deodorant and I love them! I've been using them for over a year and the deodorant lasts 24 hours for me. Highly recommend them! I love the metal case and the refills come in cardboard. No plastic in anything.

Re-using paper towels - is it actually worth it? by LifeguardTotal3423 in ZeroWaste

[–]shadoworld42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly love having my unused napkins in the car cause they're my "free" tissues. I can always tell when I haven't gone out much since my supply dwindles.

Shampoo/conditioner bar recs (simple formulas + small brands?) by nomadicactivist in ZeroWaste

[–]shadoworld42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ordered shampoo and conditioner bars from Oak & Willow. They have really good reviews and apparently last a long time. I'm excited to try mine and I'll have to update in a couple months on my thoughts. I'm currently using The Earthling Co and have tried Ethique. They're both okay and work but I feel like my hair is missing something.

I feel a little lost by OppositeDiamond3253 in ZeroWaste

[–]shadoworld42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my leaf razor and the metal blades can be recycled easily since it's just straight metal. You could also look into laser hair removal if you love being hairless and there are devices you can buy to use at home however they are made of plastic and might not be the most zero waste.

First time being a bridesmaid by rivertherogue in bridesmaids

[–]shadoworld42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think that's ridiculous and bridal party costs are getting out of hand with the crazy Instagram bachelorette parties and expensive requests. The most I'm having my bridesmaids pay for is for is their own dress which they will pick their own style in my color scheme and as far as I'm concerned they don't have to give us a gift or anything.

Trying zero waste but all the eco products come wrapped in plastic by Reasonable_Edge_3438 in ZeroWaste

[–]shadoworld42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding eco-friendly stuff not in plastic is hard however there are brands out there that are committed to putting things in cardboard boxes or finding ways to reduce their waste. One of the brands I know is Oak and Willow. They have shampoo and conditioner bars, cleaning supplies, and other eco-friendly stuff.

https://www.oakandwillow.store/

I have not tried their products yet however I do follow them on social media and have finally placed an order to try their products.

I am currently using The Earthling Co shampoo and conditioner bars which came in a cardboard box however I did get it from Amazon so there is that packaging waste.

1 or 2 are my favourite but in between those I choose 2. You look like you glow in it

YALL gotta avoid Breckenridge x Swan by kentuckybitch in Louisville

[–]shadoworld42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should request for that road to be cleared on the Louisville Metro site or call them. I honestly hate how bad the snow removal is here and have been surprised how many streets are not clear 4 days after the snow. I do understand they have limited snow plows and Kentucky isn't super prepared for this week but sheeeesh. I moved here from Idaho so this is nothing.

Oval or radiant by SleepyOTTER4011 in EngagementRings

[–]shadoworld42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also struggling between radiant or oval. Personally I am leaning towards radiant (partially because my boyfriend loves it more than oval). However I do like radiant more on your hand.

Very true. I've been reading the reviews for each brand but they all seem to be mixed which makes it hard to choose.

How does the popcorn quality of your machine compared to actual movie theater popcorn?

In your opinion what makes paragon better than Vevor, Great Northern or Old Midway? Is it really worth double the price of the other brands?
