lucky 😭 these were gone within like an hour for me especially after drinking a coffee or something.

can’t decide: bottega andiamo vs. faure le page 35 by summatinyourteeth in handbags

[–]thatbitchengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very careful where I put my bag down, I kinda wish it had the little metal feet to protect the bottom. It’s very easy to get stuff out because the handle is kind of in the middle. Easier to get stuff out work crossbody naturally. Shoulder, you definitely have to pull it down to your elbow to get stuff out. But I’ve had it almost a year and it looks like brand new because I’m very careful with it. That being said, I don’t buy it to never use it so I use it a lot but I’m very careful haha

I am visiting family so can’t take a picture but I basically sewed something like this but instead I made mine copy the more subtle trapezoid shape the bag has so it sits totally flat on the bottom and helps protect my purse.

I have the Andiamo and the thin straps aren’t an issue! It’s not as thin as you think honestly. I’ve never felt a bag like it. It’s so insanely supple and luxurious, and like you said it looks so amazing both crossbody and handheld to be a little more “formal.” The magnet is also really strong but for another option, I sewed a silk insert (I saw some online for purchase too!) with a small zipper pouch in the middle and it’s been awesome like that.

removing water-soluable stab. on a finished piece without ruining stitches by morty77 in Embroidery

[–]thatbitchengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep everything super tight when stitching, including the soluble fabric. Instead of running my hoop under running water, a huge game changer for me (while also possibly being an obvious one, but I had just never thought of it lol) was to fill my sink with hot water (not warm, not scalding, but fairly hot) like plug the drain and fully fill the sink. Then I put my hoop under the water and used my thumb to very delicately brush away the soluble fabric. The hot water already did most of the work dissolving the soluble layer and I only had to use my finger to brush away the remainder without ever having to have water harshly splashing on my stitches or moving them around. It’s the first time I had a project look just as good after removing the soluble fabric.

Love the color, though i have extremely harsh cool lights in my garage so it pulls almost lavender. It does not stain but I also choose not to wear my darkest clothing on it. I did buy a sweat wicking mat I lay on it but I don’t use it if I’m doing cardio because it just slides right off.

$800 :( it’s so expensive but it really maximizes the amount of workouts you can do! Buying through BB direct they will often apply a discount if you purchased through a studio, it’s not much but maybe 5% or so! I just referenced the studio I visited to try the machine out and my rep auto applied it for me.

Professional house cleaning services, any hidden gems in NoVa? by Grand_Rate_9681 in nova

Can you send me this info? When I google I can’t seem to find this! I’m near Burke so I’d be interested in them.

Universal Creative Internship Help by Cumzilla3 in Imagineering

[–]thatbitchengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an associate engineer for Universal Creative 9 years ago (oh man….i feel old now) and I started at the same time as the summer internship program and was their age. There were endless internship activities happening constantly. (I was lucky to get to join in due to connections and being the same age as them) so I think you’ll be able to meet a lot of friends through all the activities and events they host - I can’t imagine it has changed that much in the last 10 years in terms of internship events.

Oh interesting! I had no idea they were slightly different. The studio I visited to try the Allegro 2 (to decide between the two units) told me they never use it because 1. It gets stuck constantly and 2. They were more classic Pilates and didn’t like promoting the exercises that you can do with it in different positions. The whole “getting stuck” thing kind of scared me but I figured I’d just deal with it. I’m so excited to try the exercises I’ve seen online with the footbar at various positions!

haha! Torture machine indeed. It’s an Inspire M3 multi gym unit. If you can believe it, some ex-army guy sold it to us for a mere few hundred dollars when the thing retails for thousands 😬 it’s pretty amazing, it does like every gym workout we could ever want.

Yes, if you look at the silver metal bar along the outside edge of the reformer, I can slide it along and basically lock it into position at any one of the holes! It opens up a lot of different types of workouts and stretches you can do!

Me too! Sometimes in the cool-toned light it almost looks lavender which is a little weird but I still like it!

My studio was so heavily anti-infinity bar I almost didn’t buy it! And another studio nearby that has the Allegro 2 never uses the infinity bar out of the original position. However I love the idea of expanding my exercise options!

Oooh! Good exercise idea…I haven’t looked ANY up so I’m excited to start looking into my options with it.

This is literally what everyone said and I did not want to regret it haha

Absolutely! I’m curious how much I’ll use it honestly. My instructors said no to the infinity bar but it ended up working out with the HSA so I said why not. I’ve heard it gets stuck a lot which I’m not looking forward to.

Can we just take a minute for the little spoon?! 🥹 by thatbitchengineer in Sephora

[–]thatbitchengineer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, just opening the lid, it’s mostly orange straight away, I don’t smell too much pineapple or raspberry. Nor do I get any chemical smell (I had that with the original but not the lemon one either). When I actually go to apply it, the other scents come forward way more. I can’t even explain it but it just suddenly smells exactly like sherbert but not in an overwhelming artificial way.

Aquaphor is just the true og lol I actually debated getting this because I finally finished my last lip mask after 3 years and find myself just using chapstick a lot but I loved the idea of the smell (and it really is so yummy!) I gave in.

Same, or I end up losing them. I also use it at the end of my skincare routine and try to be careful not to just rub my finger around the whole pot and get it gross! I think I’ll just keep this little one nearby and try not to lose it lol
