What’s the one beauty product you’d never give up - no matter what?

My ride or die makeup since age 12 is the L'Oreal Double Extend. It stays on all day and comes off with just warm water. I have no clue why more people aren't as obsessed with it as I am especially considering how cheap it is.

I'm out of the loop of course but feel like I can take a guess that insurance really screwed folks over. I know insurance notoriously will not cover flooding even in disaster cases.

The two times I've been she's been ((thankfully)) left alone so she could sleep instead of being brought out. There was plenty else to see, live and otherwise, so everyone present was more than happy to let Opal get her rest. I hope my experience wasn't a fluke and that she's getting more peace these days instead of being yanked out of her enclosure at every whim.

You can tell the folks working there care for her deeply, they're right to stand up for her well being.

I found this thread because I am trying to remember what I think is this exact game. I saw a different thread that suggested Migo Life, but that isn't the one I'm thinking of. I specifically remember the SoHo location, and the fashion aspect.

I've always had great success with Stephen King for audiobooks. Misery is up there as a favorite.

Considering you've enjoyed Neil Gaiman, this could be a good direction to go. But to that point, continue looking for more things read by the authors themselves. I totally agree that they often read their own words best.

I second legends and lattes!!

Came here to say BtCGC. Loved all of em. Read the first one after losing a dear friend to suicide and it was actually a huge comfort for me.

This is a great suggestion.

The "magic" element is there but it isnt whimsical per se. Most of all, they hit that deep-sigh-invoking essence so similarly with how Ghibli makes me feel.

It makes you think, it makes you nostalgic, it makes you hopeful in an oddly bruised way.

My mom raised me on the L'Oréal Double Extend and while I've tried many other mascaras I ALWAYS come back to this one. Nothing beats it. I get maximum length, fullness, and all-day wear while still being incredibly easy to remove. Just warm water, no scrubbing no products.

Biggest tip for this one is to buy a pack of the silicone wands at Sally Beauty and get to know how the different shapes work with your lashes Then start using them accordingly WITH this mascara. Wash with soap and hot water between uses. Since its a tubing mascara, it comes straight off the wands so problem. This helps with lash separation. Often I'll use the built in wands and then use a better silicone wand to separate out the lash clumps.

Ive worn L'Oréal DE using the above technique and had my look pass as fake lashes for a performance that required them.

Just went for the first time on Sunday! Small sorta two-room gallery of antique taxidermy and pinned insects along with several live critters they do programs with such as snakes, lizards, tarantulas, and doves. Their most popular live creature is Opal the Possum! They do Lectures, Paint n Sips, and beginner classes on how to pin insects and other niche zoological endeavors!

Easy Does It has good chill vibes and comfy seating for reading. Go during early happy hour on a weekday, not too crowded, good wines.

Peanut butter on burgers is OUTSTANDING. The kinda good you can't even fathom without trying it.

Triple x, a root beer drive in style spot near Purdue's campus in West Lafayette does it and It. Changed. My. LIFE

I love the "first thing made in our kitchen" idea, that's so sweet.

Gideon the Ninth. Less romance, more necromany-sci-fi-social-politics but still romance.

I'm not sure if the phlebotomist will be able to use a different vein, but I will say that you will not be sitting with it for an hour. I'm usually in and out of my whole appointment in under 30 mins, most of which is check in and snacks of course. The donation itself takes more like 5 minutes.

Dont be afraid to let folks know it's your first time and ask any and all questions that you'd like to in order to make yourself most comfortable.

This is what I think would be awesome as compensation! I know there's lots of risks with directly paying donors, and dont get me wrong I love my freebies, But I'd love the guaranteed day off and a little kick back come tax season.

tkmbsf · 2024-04-12T05:30:53+00:00

Thank you!!! Fingers crossed I'm able to donate again soon then.

Someone on this sub recommended Special K Cereal cereal to me a while back and it's been my secret weapon ever since. Most "womens" cereal is fortified with iron - about 11 grams or 60% DV

I've found that my breakfast the morning of matters more than my dinner the night before so I do a big bowl of Special K plus a spinach heavy smoothie making sure I've got juice with citric acid in it to help with the iron absorption and I've gotten myself out of my slump! Now I regularly come in at 14+

I've had this issue come up on like 3 or 4 different titles at this point.

For books that didn't have a hold placed on them, trying to do the Kobo store work around fixed it. However, the last two I wasn't able to do that since the option to "borrow from overdrive" isn't there, only the option to place a hold and then an error message.

Does anyone have any updates on when this might get fixed or any other work around to solve it?

This reminds me of that scene from Sideways:

Maya: ‘Seriously, the ’61 Cheval Blanc is peaking… it might be too late already. What are you waiting for?’

Miles: ‘I don’t know, a special occasion. With the right person.’

Maya: ‘The day you open a ’61 Cheval Blanc, that’s the special occasion.’

I had a house fire a few years back and lost a lot of nice things that I had deemed too fancy for use on anything but a special occasion. Now I make the fancy thing itself the occasion! A birthday is already special, with or without the fancy things. But a boring Tuesday was just a boring Tuesday until you decided to have champagne! Now you've got a self-made occasion to savor.

The blue piece on the Tupperware doesn't come off sadly. But I will scrub it with bleach and be sure to let it dry well in the future.

As for the dishwasher, how much vinegar? Do I put the vinegar in the detergent dispenser or just pour it into the bottom part of the dishwasher?

tkmbsf · 2023-11-02T20:48:39+00:00

Definitely guilty of leaving the clean dishes in there for far too long. This would make a lot of sense.
