| QUOTE (DominantJunk @ 11/6/2021, 17:03) My husband and I have been fully vaccinated since late April. Helps to live in a state (and in particular a local area) where there’s not much demand because people are adamantly against it for some bizarre reason that I still don’t understand. I do still occasionally wear a mask inside, if a place is particularly crowded. My teenagers got their second dose this past Monday.
My small business does in person (outdoor) events and has been shut down for a year. I’m so excited to do our first event back in a few weeks!
Same, we are from Oregon and the governor is not lifting restrictions until the state reaches 70% vaccinated. We were able to get fully vaccinated in April, due to people in our county being completely against it and having the lowest vacc rates in the state.
We also are full time RVers, unlike Jen, Oregon is our home base. We set out to travel for a couple months after getting our vaccinations in April. It’s been crazy to see how different parts of the country are handling things. I never know, so I carry masks and will gladly wear them indoors but I’ve been in a couple states that people gave me some serious side eye for still wearing the mask.

| My first bakery inspired purchase was the Breville tea maker! Some bakers said it was gimmicky and a cheap electric kettle would do, other bakers said “The Breville tea maker” was the shit and worth the price tag. Mr. Seemingly Sweet just buys whatever I tell him I want for my birthday, so I got the tea maker TWO! Years ago for my birthday and I love it!
Since this is now completely off topic, home fragrance suggestions? Can’t do candles anymore, hate essential oils with a passion, tried the Scentsy Plug in with pods but it really doesn’t last. Contemplating the Pura Smart Home device because they have Capri Blue Volcano cartridges for it and that used to be a favorite candle. But it’s kind of expensive and not sure if the scents last long enough or if I’ll be spending hundreds of dollars a month on cartridges... any suggestions? This is the content I enjoyed from Jen, she was good at spending and good at reviews. |

| QUOTE (Agressive Brusher @ 11/6/2021, 02:19) I’m in the minority here but I hate Vera Bradley bags. They all look like diaper bags to me.
I owned one Vera Bradley item before I had a kid, a card case holder to hold my pass card when I worked a corporate job. It came with a soft lanyard and was great when I had hands full but needed to get through doors. I watched Jens review of the VB carry on but could never buy one. Then I bought like 6 matching pieces for my “hospital bag” because I’m an overpacker like Jen. Plus, they now double as diaper/kid bags for my daughter and all the things that come with a baby/toddler! |

| QUOTE (DisneyPrincess @ 11/6/2021, 00:06) That one KM is holding looks terrible! Saggy, baggy, pooey brown (I hate brown). If they fold nicely then that sounds better than they look. Not a bag person. LV are so ugly to me as well.
I hate poo brown too! The fold is great for packing inside luggage and then you have it once you are at your designation and need a bag for souvenirs, pool stuff, snacks, walking pharmacies, etc. |

| QUOTE (Don’s hashbrown @ 11/6/2021, 00:02) I wonder if nordys does this here in canada too. I do know with the lepliage to repair they sort of pull in the corners so it does come back slightly smaller. Just something to be aware of. I have gone through several over the past 10 years. They last about 2 yrs of regular use before the corners show even the start of fraying.
Not sure about Canada! I should use mine on a more regular basis. After becoming a Mom, my bag preference has totally changed. I’ve been carrying around an old Marc Jacobs tote because I have a destructive 2 year old! The small Longchamp is a great size though with those generous, sturdy, handles. |

I have a small Longchamp and a larger knock off Nordstrom brand that I love for travel! My favorite part is how they fold up neatly but then expand and hold a ton!
QUOTE (KayTee @ 10/6/2021, 23:44) QUOTE (BarefootNightmares @ 10/6/2021, 23:16) Do they do that for any bag or just brands they sell? Good question. I don’t know. You’d have to ask. I just know they’ll do the LePliage regardless of where you bought it. I think they send it out.
Yes, they send them out to local repair shops. Same with shoes. If you bought it there, it’s generally cheaper. If it’s not something purchased there, they will still send it out but you’d pay the full price for the repair. |

So she got a hotel room to attend this event that’s what, like 30 min from RM1? I get that they would go Downtown and get a fancy hotel room together when they were celebrating and wanted to be able to get sloshed and pretend they were somewhere else, but a room for the planner convention seems a bit much? Oh wait, she needed the room to curl her TWO! hairs and to stash the swag? |

Typical lying Jen. Why does she look so dowdy/frumpy? Just wear regular clothing Jen and THROW OUT the boots - enough already.
She looks a lot different when she can’t control the angles herself. On the panel she said she had to “leave” YouTube for awhile and then she came back and “cracked the whip” She is so awkward  |

| QUOTE (AbundanceOfCaution @ 9/6/2021, 04:17) QUOTE (Utah Compost @ 9/6/2021, 03:57) Pinterest pins appears there will be a shared girls room. Please let it be for CC. I’d have the girls sleep in 1 bedroom and the boys in another. In case of a fire I wouldn’t want them spread out in different rooms. Then have a separate playroom and a separate study room.
I see that. This house is amazing, but the basement looks very adult or suitable for older kids. Especially since there are 3 saunas... I’d worry about little kids down there. But, the kids floor in this house has the loft as well as the huge rec room. It would be fun to have bunks/playroom for when the cousins visit too! This house would totally be the “fun” house that all the kids and adults would want to hang out at. |

| QUOTE (EdamamePasta @ 9/6/2021, 04:19) Another thing I was thinking, imagine how T's life would change. She doesn't seem to come from the privilege that Jen had from the beginning. Jen married a wealthy man and never had to work, had a housekeeper, vacations, free time, etc. T's previous marriage was not like that. It was probably a low-to-middle class family with her ex-husband working a regular job, and her having to take care of the house and the kids, just like most people do. And now she is entering this new life in a beautiful big house in which she never has to work again. There will be housekeepers and nannies, spas and vacations, luxury cars, designer handbags and clothing, exquisite jewelry, personal training in her own gym, botox, fillers and cosmetic surgery and whatever else she wants. And it's true what somebody else said here that money can help you tolerate a lot of things in your spouse.
Bingo. Tensleigh won the Tinder lottery. |

| QUOTE (I love me some me @ 9/6/2021, 02:05) QUOTE (NotBeforeNoon @ 6/9/2021, 02:00 AM) The house next to me was flipped by a relatively minor real estate investor. I about fainted when I saw the price. Insane. IMHO totally overpriced. I'll be curious to see what happens.
Does anyone know if Zillow price estimates can be gamed or inflated? All the flipper did was deep clean, paint, repair some plumbing and electric, and remove every speck of garden so that there's only grass left (post-apocalyptic landscape) yet Zillow says it's worth what he's asking yet the SEV for taxes says it's WAY off. My neighborhood has all different styles of homes and sizes and ages.
Sorry for the off-topic but if the house next to me sells for what he's asking I will be stunned and whoever buys it will be screwed. Did you check a price estimate for your own home on Zillow? My home value is a lot lower on Zillow , than what it would sell for. So I don’t think it’s really accurate.
Zillow Zestimates are not accurate due to not having enough data typically. They pull what would be comps but their algorithm doesn’t take into account specific factors about the homes, such as remodeling. It looks at zip code, square footage and lot size. Now if there were thousands of sales in that particular zip code, it could very well be close to accurate. But most zip codes don’t have enough sales for it to be. A true Comparative Market Analysis by a realtor would be more accurate. And don’t get me started on Bank Appraisals. |
