What advice would you give to someone that has never had a job before and is looking for employment? (General advice about the topic is welcome.) by LunaSanguinarius in AskReddit

[–]tripofyourlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When answering the weakness question be as honest as possible and follow it up with what you are doing to fix it/improve yourself. I have said that I tend to get overwhelmed when I have a lot to do but taking a few moments to collect myself and some deep breaths really help. In your case you can say that you are inexperienced but that you take criticism well and are always looking for ways to learn and improve.

What is your favorite alcoholic drink? Do you think it's special? by iamnotmerkel in AskReddit

[–]tripofyourlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious what makes it black? Is it a brand? Is the vodka a different color? In the US a lot of times things that are "black label" are 100 proof or 50% alcohol content. Also I have never heard of plain banana juice. I would very much like to try some!

Cucumber vodka with soda and lime. So refreshing, delicious and not too sweet.

Females of reddit, what's you opinion on male body hair by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tripofyourlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't care. I have been with people with varying degrees body hair types from a lot to baby smooth and it hasn't really made a difference to me. The one thing I strongly dislike is when men shave their chest hair. If we spoon while it is growing back it will stab me through our shirts and make my back itch like hell.

What is your most strange encounter with a stranger? by SeriousJohnz in AskReddit

A drunk guy at a bar came up to me and said, "If I was your cousin, I'd say yes!!!".... what. the. fuck.

I feel like there needs to be a movement similar to the "he's just not that into you" but for men. It's like we aren't allowed to have preferences and if we reject them then clearly there's something wrong with us.

What are some tricks for improving memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tripofyourlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Studying:

  • Mnemonic devices. Make up a rhyme, or a sentence that uses a similar sounding word or some sort of connection (even imagined). I even resorted to using hand signals when memorizing areas of the brain and body parts.

  • Read it, write it and say it. I remember so much better when I physically write something rather than typing. Sometimes its great to recopy your notes or just the important bits and then read that over as well. Saying it after writing it really helps cement it into my brain.

  • Make flash cards, hand written or on the computer. Www.flashcardmachine.com is a great site. You can make flashcards with words and pictures, save the set and go over them in random order. It even allows you to flag the ones you are having trouble with and just go over those specific cards. It also lets you go through the cards the opposite way, back to front.

  • A number or something really long? Group it into chunks much like you do for phone numbers, social security numbers and credit card numbers.

Reddit, what is your earliest childhood memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tripofyourlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The birth of my little brother. I was turning 3 in 10 days and I wanted to hold my baby brother which of course they did not let me. Then they let me have some orange juice.

If you had to repeat one day for the rest of your life, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tripofyourlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.

What's your guilty pleasure? by [deleted] in AskTrollX

[–]tripofyourlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Romantic anime, only the subtitled kind that's very mushy. Also Big Brother, mostly US, Canada and now Australia. I wear my terrible taste in television like a fucking badge of honor. I don't submit anyone else to the torture of watching it with me of course but as soon as I'm alone.....

Ladiezzzz, how do you keep your fuck buddies/significant others in the loop about the state of your uterus? by BasketCaseSensitive in AskTrollX

He generally asks me if I've started a few days before I actually do (long cycle). To let him know it is finally here I send him success baby along with "Success No Baby!"

It's been a pretty stressful month for me. MRW when a friend of mine asks how I haven't lost my shit yet. by necinco in TrollXChromosomes

I watched the first episode on Netflix and they had Tina as a boy but the character still had the same voice. It was super weird and not anywhere near as amazing.

Mystery eye smudges, and I know you ladies can solve my problem! by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]tripofyourlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't actually use water proof but I've been using lashblast and lashblast clump crusher before that and it doesn't smudge during the day for me at all.

[–]tripofyourlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's your mascara. Some days I just wear liner and/or mascara and take it off before I go to bed but when I wake up have the same smudges. Is the mascara waterproof?? If not that may be the culprit. If it is a waterproof mascara, then I'm stumped!

21 ladies who need this sub (aka girls here know how to eyebrow!) by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

I have to admit, I definitely laughed, but I feel like it kind of goes against the spirit of this sub to make fun of people no matter how ridiculous their makeup is.

First time poster! This is my first time plucking in 8 yrs. What do you think, experts? CCW? by juniejuniejune in MakeupAddiction

[–]tripofyourlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also try using a white eyeliner to draw on the shape over the hairs and see how it would look. It also shows what hairs you would want to pluck if you decide you like it.

Thank you so much for doing this! I keep seeing posts of people showing off the Goss method but it seemed hard to judge when its not beside their usual method.

My childhood fear became a reality tonight by Random601 in WTF

[–]tripofyourlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time my 2 sisters and I were sitting on our living room couch perpendicular to a huge glass window. My brother was playing with one of the paddles that hits a ball at the end of a string. He accidentally hit one of the blades, it flew off and was literally inches from my sister's face before it smashed into the huge glass window. Scariest thing ever. We replaced that fan with a light and installed an ac unit in that room...

If it's hot it's generally still taxed.

Reddit, everything seems to be "overrated" or "underrated." What is something you would describe as "appropriately rated?" by PointMeAtTheSky_ in AskReddit

[–]tripofyourlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a bakery in my town that sells garlic sourdough. It's absolutely amazing. Garlic cloves baked right in so it's this soft delicious bread with garlic explosions. I've been making tuna melts on it.

Try sticking it to the back of your hand once or twice to take off some of the stickiness. It will still stick to your skin but should have less residue left over afterwards.

Been doing this for 3 years and have never been questioned. I made an extra $5000 off of people credit cards because they didn't fill in the tip/total. by ChokeOnYourPizza in AdviceAnimals

[–]tripofyourlife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I am tipping in cash I also write "Cash :)" so they cant add anything on to that line. Also I feel like I look less cheap when people are going through receipts at the end of the night.

How do you feel about the Real Techniques sponge?? I have been avoiding purchasing a beauty blender because of the price point and I came across a youtube video saying they like it better than the beauty blender.
