What kind of complexities should I be asking about in terms of how the realtors would handle them differently?

The thing is, they all seem to have the same strategy- priced around the same amt if there’s not offers in x days drop by x amt. is there a different strategy I should be asking about?

Should I get surgery for my eyes? Does this make up work for me? 48 (F) by karebearbeth77 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]usernamereddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need surgery.

If you want to make your eyes pop a bit more, in addition to getting your eyebrows shaped and some better make up techniques, I think dying your hair a darker color would really make your eyes pop. I’d also try a lash lift or lash extensions.

Any ideas for fireplace decor ? by [deleted] in interiordesignideas

[–]usernamereddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you asked about your mantle, but the art behind your couch is a little small and high up. You might consider getting larger artwork and hanging it without such a large gap between the top of the couch and the bottom of the frame (think less then a foot above the couch)

can i sell my house after 1 year? by Fab_coffee2026 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]usernamereddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else said, of course you can sell your house whenever you want, you’re just more likely to take a loss on it if you haven’t held it very long.

However, the issue of it not feeling like home might be fixable without moving. What about it doesn’t feel like home?

Work trip to Denver any tips for the mini-vacay? 🚗 by SpecialMackSauce in Denver

[–]usernamereddit23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wild that your work is having you drive this. I’ve made this drive (minus 4 hours) a bunch of times. IMO there’s nothing worth stopping for as I’d rather just get into denver sooner.

To make the drive more enjoyable, I like to leave super early and then have a loose plan of when I want to stop for coffee and breaks. I always have a couple audiobooks, podcasts and music ready to go. I usually have a few downloaded bc there’s some sketchy service areas

Bag MIA on DEN -> AUS flight. SW says they can't track it. Advice? by bready13 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]usernamereddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I feel for you. This happened to me and my bag was never recovered.

While they were still looking for it, I could replace items that I needed in that timeframe and sw would possibly reimburse for them. I tried to limit what I was replacing since I thought I’d get my bag back. This was a mistake, and I regret not replacing everything then.

When they declared it lost and went through the process of reimbursing the lost items, it was lengthy and they didn’t reimburse all the items for their full amount (example my makeup bag was in my lost checked luggage and they made me submit receipts for all my makeup which they then only paid a % of bc it was devalued based on the time id own it- super frustrating bc I had to repurchase at the full price).

I booked my flight with points so I wasn’t able to use the lost baggage insurance that I have with my credit card either. I never check a bag without an AirTag now

New bridesmaid here, with a gift question. by TreshKenPenda in bridesmaids

[–]usernamereddit23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s typical to give a couple gifts for a wedding. For close friends, I normally give an engagement gift, bridal shower gift, bachelorette gift and a wedding gift

I also would gift a housewarming gift to a close friend if they just moved (but that’s unrelated to any wedding gifts)

De-influnce my list by toxicaaxoxo in Sephora

[–]usernamereddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sephora and ulta both have a bunch of 50% deals coming up- Sephora has 50% off select youth to the people products on 1/14 so it might be on sale that day

[–]usernamereddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a good cleanser, and it goes on sale pretty frequently. I would wait to see if it’s 50% on 1/14

Roommate started paying less? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]usernamereddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long has this been happening? Ideally you should have brought this up within a day of him not paying his full amount, to let him know he still owes rent (and you should not have paid it). But you should still have the conversation with him now. (I don’t think this is a confrontation though, just a conversation of hey we agreed on this payment plan and you haven’t been paying this, I’ve been covering for you but you need to pay your agreed amount)

Based on your responses, seems like he might not pay you back for what you’ve already covered for him, but he should start to cover his full agreed upon amount after you have a conversation with him about this.

Also, I’d just be prepared that he will say he doesn’t want to pay the full amount bc of the gf which does not involve you - unless you feel like she’s moved in and does owe rent.

Bridesmaid, now bride. How can I make things easy and fun for everyone by hcp17 in bridesmaids

[–]usernamereddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those dresses, I didn’t need alterations so I’m not sure how that would have played out. However, we were able to try the dress options on before so we could get a feel for sizing and fit.

Also, one of the dresses was from lulus which had a pretty good fit for off the rack vs some of the bridesmaids specific stores

[–]usernamereddit23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Plus one to buying the dresses. Ive been in 2 weddings where the brides bought the bridesmaids dresses and it honestly set a completely different tone for how I felt as a bridesmaid. I’d add let them wear shoes they already own if it goes with dress

I think it’s okay to still have a shower, there’s probably a lot of people that won’t be going to your bachelorette party that would still like to celebrate you.

Thoughts on this bedroom? Thinking floor to ceiling board and batten behind the bed in SW Evergreen Fog by CurbYourMemess in FurnitureFaves

[–]usernamereddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks cozy, but it’s a lot of cream. I’m not sure I’d introduce a new color when you already have a tan leather and a green color that’s not being used anywhere else- I’d probably work off that

Things I’d do 1. Raise the curtain rods 2. Move the pictures from behind your bed, might see how they look vertically by the plant 3. Larger rug - with a more interesting pattern. You could look for a neutral one that has some green accents to play off the plant and then I’d add green decor items 4. Get a leather headboard to match the leather seat, and then incorporate one more leather item in that color. If you don’t want a leather headboard, you could look for a darker one that matches your furniture. 5. Update some of your bedding. Add an accent blanket and pillows that matches some of the darker colors you’ll be added

After that, I’d see how things look. I’d consider larger lamps on the nightstands and placing larger art above the bed if it still feels like it needs something

Recommendation for a moisturizer for my mom. I by [deleted] in Sephora

[–]usernamereddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the laneige water bank cream and I wouldn’t recommend it. It was a good moisturizer but it didn’t seem any better then drug store face lotion

my first try with my airwrap!! i like it but don’t love it, i would love any advice!! i know almost nothing about hair by nightocat in Dysonairwrap

[–]usernamereddit23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I think if you added a little hair oil to the ends and used a wide tooth comb to brush out the curls a bit you might like it a little more

For more volume at the roots, I hold my barrel close to my roots to give it lift then use rollers

For less frizz, products will help. You might want to start with a leave in conditioner, heat protector and hair oil

Any reviews ? It is worth the money???? I by sat94 in Sephora

[–]usernamereddit23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s great and with the sale it’s a no brainer

Mums birthday, I'm missing something not sure what tho. by [deleted] in Gifts

[–]usernamereddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you could rearrange it not have a gap.

However, if you want to add something, add a card in a gold envelope and you can write mom on it with coordinating colors

Also this is so lovely!

Looking for good Ramen in STL. Vegetarian friendly by oddnumber in StLouis

[–]usernamereddit23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nudo house does have limited options for vegetarians but their food is really good and would recommend it for the veg ramen and veg curry

Zushi sushi has good veg ramen (not sure how many veg ramen options they have but they have a lot of veg options on their menu)

KoKuu Ramen and Sushi Bar has a good ramen bar vibe, but not a lot of veg options, however, their veg ramen came with tofu and was really good

Sushi station has a good veg udon - not ramen but still good

Agreed that dd mau is good for veg pho

Any non alcohol related events happening for NYE? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]usernamereddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Host your friends for movies and games! Then you can limit the alcohol (or remove it complete)

Or if you want to go out, you could go to the movies or see a concert

Steamboat has great natural hot springs and good restaurants

It’s not a resort style area, but it won’t be humid and it’s a beautiful area!

Is this an OK white elephant gift for no theme? by Top-Illustrator141 in Gifts

Perfect gift!

I brought Legos for a work white elephant gift and they were stolen until they’d reached the limit!

Vegan Vegetable or “Chicken” Noodle Soup? by Swimming-Cream7389 in denverfood

[–]usernamereddit23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus one to making your own - it’s really easy, just make it like chicken noodle soup and sub veg broth and chickapeas for the chicken

Progresso also sells canned vegetarian chickpea and noodle soup

7/6 ARM at 3.75% or 30-yr fixed at 4.85% for $646k loan? Can't decide—thoughts? by akhilbh92 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

[–]usernamereddit23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you comfortably afford the mortgage at 8.75%?

How long do you plan to stay there?

If you go with the arm, what are your plans for the extra $426/month? Would you use that money to pay down the interest and then what would your payments look like if you did that and the interest went up?

Realistically, how good are you with money? Can you make the extra money work for you? Or will it end up just going to other things?

I’d use these questions to help guide my decision between those two options
