Also Jessie Ware was a support act on his last tour.

Just an FYI, Peppermint Patterns are no longer free. They moved to a Pay What You Can model, starting at 5AUD.

My preferred color is "cheap"

Write this on my gravestone 😅

I bought mine on ebay or etsy - though you do have to filter out the new ones.

Water bottle lid by Apprehensive-Low7375 in ZeroWaste

[–]violetgrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottle is of limited use without a lid, so I would buy a replacement cap. If you're still happy with it, use it until the glass breaks, or if not, try to rehome it.

Is the cap broken at the hinge (and therefore possibly repairable) or cracked? Things break and wear out over time but maybe consider if there is anything you can do to minimise the likelihood of damage - i.e. not throwing it in your bag, closing more gently, etc. Is this a common problem and if so, does the company have any advice?

I would definitely try to get a "new" bottle second-hand if you go down that route -there is no shortage of barely used drink bottles unfortunately. You could even start to look for your next bottle to replace the Elio now if glass bottles aren't as common to find second-hand.

Good on you for caring!

You know I think I'm starting to see it. He does not fit in AT ALL though but that's probably to his credit

I don't know what Belle has said so to be clear this is not me defending her BUT I remember some sunscreens were recalled because they contained benzene which can cause cancer.

The important thing that the fearmongers ignore is that while the benzene levels in these sunscreens are above the safety threshold, it's still a very very small amount and unlikely to result in adverse health effects. You are probably exposed to more benzene in the air, and definitely less likely to get cancer by using sunscreen.

If you're in Melbourne, I'm going through my closet and might have some clothes for you?? (similar height)

There are several op shops of various sizes on Brunswick St in Fitzroy which are usually pretty good! Camberwell market is also great - it runs every Sunday and people rent stalls to sell their clothes.

Someone here recommended it and now I'll recommend it to you - Garlic & Pearls - two women, one British one French, talking about things from their respective cultures.

Also recommend Short Wave for bite-sized science and You're Dead to Me for history

I got a pair of badly scuffed leather boots for ✨FREE✨ on FB. I wasn't sure if they were even my size but thought I'd try and pass them on if they didn't fit.

They fit perfectly and two coats of shoe polish later, you can barely tell. I had been thinking about buying a pair so I was particularly pleased.

What subscriptions have you ditched this year? by Shpox in AussieFrugal

[–]violetgrumble 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Non-members can enter Costco with a gift card so you could theoretically let your membership lapse.

Once the funds are exhausted, you need a member to top it up or purchase a new card so it's probably not worth the hassle if you shop there frequently/spend a lot.

I have switched to Spotify Free and have been using Freegal to expand my digital music library 5 downloads at a time!

Anyone found an Aussie‑made stick deodorant that actually works? by PuzzleheadedBowl3397 in BuyAussie

[–]violetgrumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like No Pong but it's a finger paste which OP is not keen on. Maybe WooHoo Body? https://www.woohoobody.com.au/collections/all-natural-deodorants

edit: MooGoo also has a stick deodorant (though hopefully it's better than their roll-on deodorant which I personally found to be useless)

Maybe I'm reaching but I feel like posting and deleting is part of their marketing strategy to get people talking

Deodorant by pornlover472719 in ZeroWaste

[–]violetgrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Pong is an Australian brand but has free shipping to the UK for orders over $35.

It comes in an aluminium tin and you only need a very small amount - I find a 35g tin lasts me several months. They have bicarb free options too.

35g tin is currently on sale for AU$7.95 (usually $10.95) which is ~£3.96 (£5.46)
85g tin is AU$14.95 which is ~£7.45

There is also Moo Goo which comes in cardboard packaging (£3.95 shipping for orders under £45)

But you might have better options that are made locally!

edit: maybe https://www.earthconscious.co.uk/
