I only wear flipflops & (begrudgingly) winter boots. But considering how wet our springs always are, I should invest in a nice pair of shoes/boots that can hold up in the rain..

As far as bags go, I've been thinking about investing in a new bag, only because I'd like mine to be able to hold my upgraded 32oz water bottle. I love & have carried this bag for years! Got it from an artist on Etsy as a daily bag and, goddamn, it has fucking held up!!

Hold on.. grabbing a link..

Got it!!

God that's a good bag. Not too big, not too small, stylish but not overwhelming

New shoes! Summer's coming and I could use a new pair of Chucks.

I do own a few handbags but most days I stick with my chain wallet.

Shoes. Always shoes. To be specific, alt girl boots.

lol, agreed. I am too lazy to change out my handbag more than once or twice a year, so I prefer something neutral that goes well with everything ... meanwhile, I change my shoes to match my outfit every day.

Pedis! It just feels really luxurious.

Up hairstyle or curls?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I also choose pedis, because they last so long and my ~~pedis~~ manis chips within a week or two 😭

My hair is naturally curly (like, people all the time ask me if my hair is this way naturally or if I use curlers), and I also happen to love to put my hair up, so I'm going to say up 😁

chocolate or wine?

How do you find having curls? I love them so I'd choose that, but my friends with them say it's a massive PITA.

Chocolate!! I loooooove chocolate I can't have boxes in the house cos I can just eat the whole thing.

Drama or comedy tv show?

I love my curls, but it is a lot of work and special rules. Everyone always coos about my curls, but they don't realize it means my hair looks messy and horrible without planning and lots of maintenance, that I have to sleep with a special silk bonnet and my hair kept up, that I have to use dreaded cold water to wet my hair every morning, that I can't just use any shampoo or conditioner, etc. So, yeah - massive PITA, but I love my curls anyway 😅

And I agree, chocolate (what was I thinking?)

I think a good comedy is like candy, it's easy and fun and I want too much of it - but it's often not that satisfying. So I would probably say I have a preference for a good drama film or tv series. I can't stand The Office, but I'll watch Severance.

Here's a weird one: if you are opening a soda in a glass bottle, do you prefer to drink it from the bottle or poured into a separate glass to drink from?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cold water? Oh heavens you're a braver woman than me I'd probably end up shaving the whole thing off. And I know what you mean about comedies, light, frothy but you zone out.

Good question! I'd go glass because I always worry I'll bang the bottle on my teeth.

Hike or beach?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Tough one... I'm picking hike! I love the cool quiet of the forest, especially if it's a pine forest.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Good call! I'm gonna nap on the beach cos I like naps

Brunch or dinner?
