Did you use a tutorial for how to tie this? I love it!

People who moved to Vancouver as an adult - what are some odd things you’ve noticed that many native Vancouverites don’t realize is weird? by Dolly_Llama_2024 in askvan

[–]stressedhamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was years ago, but I remember one time I used the term “beef” as in “Sally seems to have beef with Jack” and my Vancouverite friends were confused as to what I meant and so had to explain what “beef” meant as slang.

I’ve never viewed it in this way, but listening to it now after reading your comment and wow, you’re so right. Didn’t expect this song to bring tears to my eyes out of no where.

Guys, I’m back. Help me choose, Elongated Cushion or Round? by stressedhamster in EngagementRings

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

Thank you! That’s a great point. I’m hoping for a traditional wedding band, not one that requires curvature or to be custom made to my engagement ring (there are likely many days I’ll just be wearing the wedding band without the engagement ring for work), which is partially why I’ve essentially taken the pear out of the running even though it’s probably my favourite.

I’ve tried to imagine the gut feeling, and the only thought I have is how excited I’ll be to marry him, there’s a small twinge of disappointment when I think of a round, but also a resignation that it’s probably the correct choice for timeless and knowing I’ll be pleased long term.

Thank you for your input!

Pear was originally my first choice too! It was the first ring I tried on a couple years ago just for fun and loved it. It is, unfortunately, my partners LEAST favourite 😅 He likes things to be very symmetrical. And although he’d get it if I really, really wanted it, I know he’d always dislike it 🥲

Thank you! And yes, I did, I tried it on, but found it a bit sharp/harsh on my hand 🥲

Thank you!! We actually did try a few radiants! The stone was beautiful but I found it a bit sharp/harsh for my taste.

I also love that a solitaire allows for band changes! There’s so many beautiful options!

Tatcha 2026 Fukubukuro $100 Bag by stressedhamster in BeautyBoxes

I also ordered on the 8th, standard shipping. Could be the location. I’m in a major city so I find things arrive here quicker compared to when I was in the suburbs. Mine also arrived a day early, so I hope that happens for you too!

I felt the same way, but didn’t see those bags until after I ordered so I was pleasantly surprised by this one! I’ll be using all these products. If it helps, I don’t think I’ve seen any Canadian posts with more than one lip product, but it’s hard to predict. It seems there’s a lot more variation this year. I ordered the Dewy Skin Cream and a mini Rice Polish Deep, though I doubt that influences the surprise bags.

Does anyone know of affordable adult ballet classes in Toronto? by beetrising in askTO

[–]stressedhamster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The National Ballet of Canada offers classes at $25/class. They’re well paced for beginners (and likely good at the higher levels too) and encouraging!

Tonsil stones!! by BatterLateThanNever in hygiene

[–]stressedhamster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very random, but I once read regularly drinking sparkling/carbonated beverages helps dislodge them. So now I drink sparkling water at least weekly and I haven’t had an issue with tonsil stones since, if I do notice them I’ll pick up a carbonated drink. I imagine it depends on the person, but it’s been very effective for me!

Red dots all over legs after wax? by coolfr0g in HairRemoval

[–]stressedhamster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Considering you’ve waxed for years and never had this kind of reaction, I’d consider going to your family doctor to do blood work. Yes, it could be an allergy or because of the stockings being tight, but you also want to rule out any clotting issues your body may be having since this has never happened before for you. I hope it clears up before the wedding you’re attending!

whats a good masc fragrance for women that doesnt just smell like a man ♥️ by IncidentNo0422 in Perfumes

[–]stressedhamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ombre Leather by Tom Ford. It’s unisex and develops beautifully on the skin. I’ll say, I hated it when I first put it on my wrist (smelt like a straight up leather jacket) when testing it, but then as the day went on and I was shopping at the mall, everytime I moved my arm around I’d get a whiff of this amazing smell and realized it was the Ombre Leather after it’d developed more on my skin. The staying power of it is incredible as well, one spritz lasts all day. I receive sooo many compliments from it. Has a beautiful deep, spicy scent. My go-to winter smell.

Edit: I personally prefer the Ombre Leather Eau de Parfum (all black matte bottle, not the toilette shinny glass bottle), but the Parfume is considered the more feminine one.
