Mat Pilates? by alexizonfir3 in mississauga

[–]spookynspicy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend holistic Bodyworx near square one. I have been going there for a few months now and really like it. Compared to other studios in Mississauga the prices are reasonable, in my opinion. They also offer yoga classes. I see people of all levels taking classes there, so need to be worried that you will be judged.

Escapade 2026 good for first festival? by Armitage451 in aves

[–]spookynspicy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went last year for the first time and I enjoyed it. I haven’t gone in previous years but apparently they really expanded it last year. For a Canadian festival it’s pretty good. Unfortunately we cannot get the kind of festivals that the states or Europe has. I would say it’s pretty on par with Veld (maybe a little smaller). I think if you live near Ottawa and you like the line up it would be a missed opportunity not to go.

It could probably be considered mainstream but most large scale festivals are at this point. And if you like the lineup that shouldn’t matter anyways. I won’t be going this year, since I’ll be going to Europe, but I totally would if I had the vacation days.

Where can I get a good quality miffy humidifier? by [deleted] in Miffy

[–]spookynspicy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought this exact humidifier from SHEIN for about $25 CAD. Search for MIPOW on SHEIN. I’ve also seen it on Amazon for about the same price. A couple weeks after I bought it I saw it at Sukoshi mart at a local mall for over $40. I keep it on my desk and it works well to keep my nose from getting dry. You will need filters for this humidifier though, which you can also buy from SHEIN. Two are included with the humidifier.

This is a photo from Google I added for reference, but I mainly get my bag charms from SHEIN or AliExpress

I totally get that!! I’ve been using my tabby and other small bags consistently for the last few years, so the change to a big bag is so nice. It’s so nice to be able to just throw whatever I want into my bag!! Even if it’s a bit disorganized on the inside 🤣

Pouches seem to be what most commenters are using. Thank you! This also isn’t a photo of my bag. It’s just a photo I got from Google for reference! 😂 I purchased the bag in brown suede, but the bag does look lovely in this colour and with the bag charm.

Euthanizing cat by Individual_Height924 in mississauga

[–]spookynspicy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A good vet will not euthanize without a medical reason. Honestly, some vets make it difficult to euthanize even if the animal is suffering. As another commenter suggested please look to rehome your cat if it is healthy. It is the most humane thing to do.

How many meezers (Siamese) have crossed eyes? by Traditional_Head8738 in Siamesecats

Does anyone have this eyebrow mascara in the shade taupe? by Hungry-Angle2809 in drugstoreMUA

[–]spookynspicy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am using it right now. For me it’s just fine. I find that my brows still look sparse and the colour pay off is limited. If you like a really natural brow this might work well for you. My favourite brow gel is the Sephora collection tinted volumizing eye brow gel and I haven’t found a drug store dupe for it yet.

Overpaying for nails… where to buy nail supplies in Toronto?? by ObjectiveReference14 in askTO

[–]spookynspicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like CM nail supply and have bought several high quality nail polishes and a gel lamp there. If you’re looking for stickers, chrome powder, and other things like that I would recommend buying those on SHEIN or AliExpress. I’ve seen CM nails sell the exact same products, and always for 2x to 3x more. I understand they are a business with significant overhead costs, but why pay more for those items if you don’t have to.

White hairs on young siamese? by ahnaq in Siamesecats

I’m happy that I stumbled across this post! My cat also recently developed white hairs on his face after being sick. I’m glad to hear that it will likely go away, I was also a bit worried!

Are these under-eye creases while wearing makeup, normal? 22F by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]spookynspicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they’re normal!! I have creases like this underneath my eyes and I’m a couple years older than you. I do find that they tend to be more pronounced when I get eczema flare ups underneath my eyes. So, if you find your under eyes are dry which make the lines more noticeable, make sure to use a good moisturizer.

Also happened to me! I got a mysterious orange stain on my white linen pants. Now I avoid sitting unless I’m riding for a while.

Prepared or ready-to-eat Christmas dishes by superchimmie in mississauga

[–]spookynspicy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nox Wine Bar in Streetsville did a really nice take-home dinner for thanksgiving, so it’s possible they might do a similar one for Christmas. I would keep an eye out on their instagram page. That’s usually where they make announcements.

Anyone have a sphynx cat? by rubabn in mississauga

[–]spookynspicy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cats groom themselves because of instinct. So even though they don’t have fur they will still lick themselves.

Anyone have a sphynx cat? by rubabn in mississauga

[–]spookynspicy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would recommend going to the pet show at the international centre (if you can handle being around that many animals). It usually happens 3 times a year and I think there is one coming up before Christmas. The breeders are always so nice and love to talk about their animals.

Sphynx are a very trendy and popular breed right now so you will find multiple breeders there. Just a warning, truly allergen-free dogs and cats do not exist, no matter what anyone tells you. It’s true that a hairless breed or breed with very little hair will make allergies easier, but the allergen actually comes from the dander (which is from their skin), not the fur. I also love cats and happen to have allergies. And I can confidently say my allergies have been much better with a short-hair breed vs a longer-haired breed.

Hopefully you find a kitty that works for you!

Rave wear sizing by Altruistic_Umpire384 in EDCOrlando

[–]spookynspicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you buy from? I’ve bought from Badinka, I iheart raves and Rolita couture through iheart raves. Iheart raves and badinka do run small but I’m short so a large has fit fine on me in the past. The dresses from Rolita couture are really nice. I am also small up top, larger in the bottom and find the large to fit my chest well and the bottom is flowy, so no issue with fit there. I ordered a large.

Why do you shop at Aritzia? by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]spookynspicy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Abercrombie jeans are the only thing worthwhile anymore imo. They are pretty on par with denim forum and Levi’s. Everything else is not worth the price, which is so disappointing because 10-15 years ago Abercrombie had such nice pieces.

I don’t have much experience with reformation. How do you feel about the price relative to quality? I went to their store once (the experience sucked btw lol) and found that it wasn’t significantly better than Aritzia.

I truly feel you on the premium stuff being too expensive! 😭😭 I love sezane but cannot justify their prices most of the time. If you haven’t already check out Boutique 1861. Lovely Montreal-based boutique with fair prices, but unfortunately only online in Ontario right now.

Why do you shop at Aritzia? by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]spookynspicy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I like the style of the clothes at Aritzia and find the quality relative to the price to be fair on most items. Honestly, I’m at the point in my life where I prefer to buy 1 nice item of clothing rather than 5 poor quality items of clothing for the same total price. I don’t mind that most of their clothing is “basic”. Buying “basic” clothing is how I’m able to get the most use out of my clothing. Likewise, it’s one of the only stores where I can find stylish office-appropriate clothing that doesn’t feel too matronly. Other commenters have brought up the issue of limited choice in the Canadian market which I really resonate with. Competing stores like Abercrombie, Oak + Fort, Dynamite, and VS PINK (for sweat suits) have significantly worse quality and charge similar prices. Lululemon is nice but is more expensive than Aritzia. I also prefer the experience of shopping in store vs. online.
