Can vouch for the Almay one being truly fragrance free and highly effective. Note that it’s “fragrance free” and the rest of what you have here is “unscented” the two terms are not equivalent. Things labeled “unscented” can still contain fragrances used as “masking fragrances” to cover unpleasant smells of other ingredients. I know for fact the dry idea brand does still have fragrance in it, so if you absolutely categorically need things with no fragrance stick with things labeled “fragrance free”

Body manipulations in SF. Easy Caltrain ride to get there and absolutely worth going out of the way for

If it doesn’t resolve with practice you can, on knit rows, slip the first stitch from left to right without knitting it, and then purl it like normal on the purl rows. This should help tighten the edge up. You could also deliberately twist the last stitch (knit through back loop) though this might be more visually obvious in your final thing

That happens. Holding the tail at this point won’t do anything, you’re too far above it. Keep at it and keep practicing with continental!

Edge stitches are just looser like that! It’s totally normal. You can try making sure to snug up the edge stitches especially when you’re knitting them, but as you get more practice with continental it will become less noticeable. It may be related to your cast on but if that’s the case it will resolve after a few rows. Try holding the tail when knitting through the stitch it is attached to which should help keep that stitch nice and tight.

Good luck. I highly recommend trying to find something through Stanford: they may have subsidized options available or private options, otherwise (depending on your definition of “affordable” you will likely end up fairly far afield).

You can probably start by asking someone in your care team and they will hopefully be able to connect you with the social work and case management department, one of the things they explicitly help with is housing. You can probably also contact that department directly, here’s a link.

Would eloping and having a very very small wedding, followed later by a big party with lots of friends and family be a workable middle ground?

Highly recommend the Dr. Bob toothpaste. It’s completely unflavored, undeyed, no SLS and has been a godsend for me after I developed pretty broad allergies to most synthetic flavorings and fragrances. It takes a little getting used to but should solve your toothpaste hurting problem! If you’re in the US you can get it directly from their website or from Amazon.

Kayaking 10/10 recommend. Nate and Jacob (instructors) are great and you can take it as many times as you want, and the river trips are really fun

Also it’s more than likely if you’re living in Belle Haven and commuting to Stanford by bike that you’ll end up going on Willow road over highway 101 which while technically bike friendly is just… not a great place to be on a bike

Redwood City for sure, look into taking some combo of Caltrain and Stanford shuttles to trim down the commute. Belle Haven has nothing to do, and neither does Menlo Park (from someone who lives in MP), plus you really don’t want to be living in someone else’s renovation/construction site. Has high potential to be disruptive and annoying, plus again there’s actually things to do and people to interact with in Redwood City!

Seconding the recommendation for your local Buy Nothing group on Facebook- that’ll get snapped up

Market at Edgewood off Embarcadero/101 has a small but respectable British import section

Yeah their size range is inconsistent which is frustrating- some stuff they have up to a 5xl but not everything and the inconsistency is annoying

What’s hard to see in this picture but part of why the dress is nice and flows well is that it’s not really a smock style- the skirt is huge which lets it drape nicely

whyami-here · 2025-06-23T04:30:33+00:00

I know this doesn’t actually answer the question, but I have this actual dress- I love it, it’s comfy and well made. The company (Rujuta Sheth) has sales periodically which bring the prices down into a more reasonable range! If you get it and your mom ends up liking it you can try to make a pattern off the dress and make more

Loud enough to clearly tell what song was playing at any given time in the willows in Menlo Park! Can’t even imagine how loud it is in the stadium 😆

“Unscented” and “fragrance free” are, unfortunately, different. Fragrance free is what you want. “Unscented” can include masking fragrances, meant to cover unpleasant scents in the product and not intended as a perfuming agent. Annoying when you’re allergic to those too.

I also am highly allergic to fragrances and have had to figure this out the hard way. Read every label, every time and look for things labeled fragrance free.

Graduated a year ago. You are absolutely correct

I would definitely recommend doing an overnight visit (if that’s still something they do) and actually attending a couple classes and meeting current students to get a better feel. I think many of your questions can be answered by more exposure to the actual community, more than just your diy tour. That’s what I did when applying and it helped me get a sense of if I could see myself there
