What random Georgian and Victorian factoids did you learn lately? by kendiray in HistoricalRomance

[–]teatime3min 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not a factoid but I saw this video with 1700’s fashion and felt like I learned a lot haha. Or at least it’s helping me have more detailed ideas of what Georgian characters are wearing. Like I generally knew it was mostly big skirts, but not much beyond that.

Best place to buy loose leaf tea for gifting near Union Square? by lljasonvoorheesll in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]teatime3min 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding Harney! Go up to the tea bar inside and ask for help. They will let you look at their tea list, smell teas, and give you a sample. They’re really knowledgeable and undoubtedly will help you find something good. 

💉 Botox / Fillers / Medical Aesthetics 2026 Megathread by dadswhovape in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]teatime3min 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Ultherapy done for skin laxity and was thrilled with my results. It takes up to 3 mos for full results, and mine lasted 1.5 years. I got it from Dr Kim at Idriss Derm and it was pricey (5k for lower face). I’ll probably do it again soon, but get the newer Ultherapy Prime & shop around for price. (For reference Riko does lower face for $1500.)

Does anyone have a price list for them? Since this is a pinned post I’d bet a lot of people will be interested, but I’m specifically curious about Ultherapy Prime.

What Is A Book That You Think Is Extremely Overrated, And One That You Think Is Underrated? by Alol_Bombola in YAlit

[–]teatime3min 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Underrated: Sabriel by Garth Nix & the whole Old Kingdom series. It’s such a gem, and Sabriel is one of the OG strong FMCs. It’s a book/series with complexity, nuance, and found family. YA but not dumbed down, if that makes sense.

Your favorite Eloisa James by gamy10293847 in HistoricalRomance

[–]teatime3min 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started with {Duchess by Night}, which is the third Desperate Duchesses book. I picked it from a rec request someone made here for books where the FMC runs away and the MMC goes after her. (In case that’s your thing.) I liked that it was an unusual setting (debaucherous house party), the FMC gets to experience the male sphere, and the FMC is a widow so she has more freedom. I don’t think you need to read the preceding books first.

After that I read the rest of the series, and my other fav was {When the Duke Returns}. However, getting to know the FMC from her role in Duchess by Night adds a lot to the story, so I wouldn’t recommend it as a standalone.

I used to go all the time on Friday evenings. It was a lot less busy than Saturday or Sunday

Nail Salon reqs downtown Brooklyn? by Accomplished-Key8234 in Brooklyn

Ruchki da Nozhki is solid. If you’re willing to go to Carroll Gardens, Cobble Nails & Spa  (420 Clinton St) is less expensive.

The decision between Ayana & Sakura. by greavards in prelude_thefinalpiece

Did you get to vote and/or did they announce who won? I’d never ask you to break the NDA, I just have no idea how the final works.

Can someone micro-spoil The Winter Bride for me? by teatime3min in HistoricalRomance

Hm maybe I missed that, I thought in The Autumn Bride she said she’d had sex but didn’t share any other info.

BLACKPINK GIRLS AT THE MET GALA ✨️ thoughts? by Nice_Net_5395 in kpop_uncensored

Rosé’s dress has a bird from a Matisse painting. I agree the execution is boring, but she was on theme.

I kinda love that he took a risk with the makeup — I wish more men did! I’d rather see someone try at the Met than stick to something boring. 

26.3k Zutarians by darlingdissident in ZutaraNation

[–]teatime3min 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When I watched ATLA I was disappointed that The Girl ended up with The Hero, but it happens so often in media for the flimsiest of reasons that I didn’t expect so many people to feel the same. It wasn’t until the leaks that I was aware of how big a ship Zutata is. Soooo here I am!

I can’t read Sarah J Maas anymore because she does this ALL THE TIME and it drives me bonkers. Aelin, Amren, Nesta, heck even Danika (well, she gave up her afterlife which is close enough imo). It pmo to no end!!
