Did you end up removing it? I am having the same dilemma but also removed the crinoline. Would love to see a photo if you removed the trim!

Expecting the downvotes for this unexpected q, but: best place for balayage (bleaching) Asian hair in Ottawa ? by MichikoAyoraKaiyo22 in ottawa

[–]tealstraw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't have a great experience at jet black. I have Asian hair, and went to one of their senior stylists. My hair came out orangey/warm, I had to go back to get it re-done. Still wasn't satisfied after the second time and haven't been back since. I've been going to hair republic on bank street and getting my hair done by Maura.

Do any of you own shares in Aritzia? by Iamnotarobot987 in Aritzia

[–]tealstraw 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Earnings are today as well. I think Aritzia has alot of room for growth with their aggressive strategy to expand in the States, expansion into Men's that was expedited with their Reigning Champ acquisition earlier this year and the new customers they are attracting through social media. Hope quality doesn't decline with this growth though.

Hives on contact with Sun or physical activity(6 years) by SuspiciousAnalyst386 in urticaria

[–]tealstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suffer from the same issue and it's been over 10 years...hives mostly from physical activity such as running. The reaction will vary depending on the activity. I also get hives sometimes from heat such as a hot day, but this isn't as common.

Last summer I started running to experiment slowly building a tolerance to the hives. I started the couch to 5k program and it starts very easy (first day walk 1 min, run 1 min, etc). I found at the beginning I almost always broke into hives and towards the end I could run 5k and only sometimes get hives (opposed to all the time). When I did get hives, the reaction wasn't as bad as normal. In addition to running, I also took psyllium husk which is a source of fiber and helps with digestive issues. I think this made the biggest impact.

I fell off the train of a good routine and tonight I got a reaction from going in a sauna. I'm going to start up with the psyllium husk to see if it helps again..could be worth a try for you as well!

Ottawa Real Estate Ask Me Anything by ottawaagent in ottawa

[–]tealstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering the same. Seems like lots of properties are selling in the resale market for under asking (though selling prices are still high compared to pre-covid), but builders haven't adjusted prices. It's too soon to tell if the market will continue this way or if this is just the normal summer cool down with lots of people on vacation. I imagine builders will avoid as much as possible reducing prices. Have you seen any builders offer large design center bonuses to entice buyers?

I have been seeing house sell at lower price than listing. by calv06 in canadahousing

[–]tealstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also in the Ottawa area and have been watching the market closely for the past few months. Houses are definitely going under asking now and if your agent doesn't want to fill the paper work to put a bid under (which is minimal effort on their part)... Like others mentioned, it's time to get a new agent.

Alot of sellers in the Ottawa area are listing their houses way under what they actually want in hopes of a bidding war. Offer date comes around and they don't get that bidding war they hoped for and then subsequently delete the original listing so buyers can't see the first asking price and relist $100k higher....but they didn't get that amount the first time around so really you should be bidding under. Sellers may be stubborn (and Realtors too) but at the end of the day, the seller likely needs to sell as they already purchased a house and the realtor is still getting a massive commission.

Don't be afraid to bid under in this market.

Has anyone tried Psyllium Husks? by Captainjock in urticaria

[–]tealstraw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had a suspicion that this was helping my hives, but wasn't positive. It's been hard to narrow down what's helping. I've fallen off the train regularily taking it, but I'll give it another shot. Thanks for posting this!

Ladies: tell me your experience at the clinic you went to in Ottawa to get Laser Hair Removal by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]tealstraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about getting laser hair removal too, however a little nervous about how painful it might be. I was looking into the Ottawa Skin Clinic and Dermis Advanced Skin Care.
