When does the weather get colder for you guys?

I’m trying to get an ETA on when I should send a big parcel through the mail with some perishables (packaged snacks and other miscellaneous things).

It’s being shipped out from Canada to Brighton. I am in no rush to send it and would just like to know when it starts getting colder there :) I checked the Weather app but, it seems like there’s still a huge heatwave going on! Autumn gets here pretty early for me and it’s already cold. What is it like for you?

Is beginning-September good enough?

Thanks!

Is it legal to send a Brit a pack of cigarettes in the mail?

I’m sending a big box of miscellaneous things to a friend and she smokes cigarettes- I was thinking of adding my favorites one to the box just as a gag, is that legal?

Where do you buy baggy jeans from?

I’m always having to tailor my pants from nearly every brand and never sought out any petite-friendly clothing before! I know this is normal when you’re small and thin but I want to try something new this time;

I’d love some suggestions or recommendations for a petite-friendly brand that has cute low-rise baggy jeans? 🩷 A beautiful color of denim!

I’ve heard Motel has good ones!

Sending a gift to my Brit friend- what would you want?

I’ve decided to spontaneously surprise her with a big box of goodies, I just have no idea what to send her! I’ll wait till the heatwave is over but, would love some ideas from anyone who’s visited or anyone who’s ever wanted to try things from here :)

I live in Québec, so I know I’m sending her cans of quality Maple Syrup, some Poutine sauce cans to make her own and some sweets we have that you don’t (ie; Coffee Crisp, Ketchup Chips, Caramilk..) but, I haven’t the slightest clue what else I could send?

Would love some advice or ideas, doesn’t exclusively have to be food! Weird stuff is fun too :)

(PS- Are there any rules against sending certain products? Anyone have personal experience with this?)

Where are we buying quality 100% cotton undies from?

Realized I own no quality everyday underwear that is 100% cotton (the best for your health and comfort), so I decided to come on here and ask where you’re all buying from! Most of mine go through wear&tear too quickly, and thrown out quick!

I know Victoria Secret has sales often times but, what other brands are we buying from that are organic, comfortable and cute?

I spend so much money buying basics, that I complete forgot the most important aspect of my wardrobe should’ve been prioritized on my underwear first!

I’d like to try out other brands instead of the usual VS yearly sale- Any advice or recommendations are appreciated! 🩷

Can anxiety cause allergy to certain foods?

About a year ago, I had a severe panic attack induced by anxiety over what I presumed to be food poisoning. At the ER, they didn’t listen and prescribed me benzos. I had no idea what they were, and was told I had anxiety instead of simply treating the food poisoning. I have never ‘freaked out’ like that in my life- so health professionals overlooked my words and deduced I had anxiety disorder. Over the next couple of months, my body couldn’t handle anything normal anymore. I had restricted myself to ‘safe’ food like the B.R.A.T diet because anything else I ate ‘left’ my body shortly after, and would trigger severe episodes. It took a lot of medication to calm me down.

I suddenly couldn’t eat any dairy, fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, breads otherwise I would immediately puke it out. This turned into intense weight loss and I looked very unhealthy for a long time. It’s almost as if my brain programmed itself to be anxious at the sight of food? I would freak out right after I’d eat, or even during- and I never finished a meal.

I’m back to normal now, and can eat whatever I want. I was just curious if anxiety is so strong that it can do this? Can it rewire your brain into thinking some foods are ‘poisonous’ to you and force your body to take it out?

How do you know if a CD player is worth it?

After years of obliterating my eardrums with Sony’s noise-cancelling technology (XM4-5), I have decided to dive into the world of CD players. Unfortunately, scalpers got to every Sony CMT-EX1 and my chances of ever getting one are one in a billion.

I looked into older Sony tech and pulled this from the interwebs- a mini component system (MHC-EC70).

Though, because I’m such a beginner newbie at this- how do I tell if it’s any good? What am I meant to look for? This mini audio system is cute and would look great in my room, but how do I tell if it’s quality and will bless my ears with lovely music?

I’d love some advice or feedback from the talented experienced audiophiles who lurk on this sub! Much to learn :)

Do you have a service dog/animal? Did they help?

I have anxiety and severe panic disorder. It unfortunately got too bad to the point where I stopped leaving the house for years, coming up on four. I basically only leave the house for doctor or dentist appointments. I can’t live like this anymore. Medication dulls my mind and my skills. I only seem to surpass attacks after high doses of kpin, which is not what I want for myself.

For those of you who have service animals, how is it like? Have they helped you overcome and start living life?

(PS. I grew up raising a lot of animals. I even studied veterinarian sciences at one point, I love them with all my heart! I just never had my own dog longterm)

Will there be a fragrance sale soon? I missed the last one :(

I wanted to buy these three travel sizes and possibly more, but today’s 10% off sale isn’t worth it whatsoever. Our tax alone is 15%.

I am on the hunt for unique, addictive skin scents (aldehydes and musks). I’d just like to wait for a good bargain lol- anyone know when the next one is?

R.B sell out so quickly- How do you get to them?

I’ve been really dying to try a glittery eyeshadow and this is the perfect time to redeem my points! I have no idea what shade these are (or- if we’re even allowed to change them), but I know they’re allegedly very good? I’m hoping Pat McGrath level!

However, there’s not a single time I’ve been able to catch a good R.B gift :( They always sell out so quickly! Does anyone have tips on how to secure this, when it becomes available?

PS- Is this worth my points? :) I never really spend them so I don’t know if it’s overpriced or not? Would love opinions if anyone’s tried the formulas!

Can Colin The Caterpillar survive shipping?

I have craved this british M&S cake for as longed as I’ve been alive. I want it. I need it. I must have it.

Has anyone done this before? Does it arrive quickly? Does it need to be refrigerated? If not- can it survive being shipped off to Canada? I don’t mind if it looks abstract by the time it’s here. As long as it’s edible. I yearn for it.

I’m not doing well. What romcoms/comfort films do you love watching?🩷

I’m in dire need of a pick-me up. It’s also absolutely pouring rain so, perfect gloomy weather for this!

What are classic or modern romcoms that are on your tier list- or your favorites to watch/rewatch? Animated ones also count! Ghibli are great comfort films!

I’d really appreciate lots of recommendations~ I have plenty of time to try and feel better ♡ I feel like I’ve rewatched the same ones over and over…

What do you wear when exercising? Need help :(

I feel like a toothpick about to break. It’s hard enough not liking my body, or not wanting to be perceived but- my health is in shambles. I’ve decided to start my fitness journey slowly. Doctor’s orders.

My only issue is I have absolutely no idea what to wear. I know this seems like such a trivial issue, but it’s important to me. I don’t want to be perceived.

What can I wear other than baggy clothes? I’m very petite & skinny. I really hate my body and the way I look. I just want to work out without thinking about it. I will also be starting at night. Which isn’t exactly totally safe but, it’s better than being seen.

What do you all wear when working out?

Americans- What brands are you buying from? 🌷I’m in the US and would love to buy things like this that are petite-friendly!

As a Canadian, it’s incredibly hard to buy from Realisation Par, With Jean, or even Frankie’s Bikinis! We have to pay an insane amount of duties and tariffs, so I’m really glad I have the opportunity to finally buy from these brands :)

I’m in the US until the end of the month. I hope that’s enough time for them to get to my place! I’d love some recommendations for brands similar to these styles! I’m 5’ tall and and very petite. I really want beautiful dresses or skirts (minis, midis preferably).

Please give me some recommendations? 🩷🫶🏻🌷 I have no budget whatsoever!

Opinions on Henry Rose? 🖤

Never knew this was created by Michelle Pfeiffer! I love basically everything about the brand! The creator, the look, cruelty-free & clean for the environment!

I’ve seen this around nearly every fragfluencer’s rotation of the month, basically one scent is always mentioned. The Sephora near me only had London 1983 in stock and I loved it! Beautiful and comforting skinscent!

Would love any feedback or opinions on any of them? I’m eyeing Queens + Monsters🖤

This or That? Hair serums: Unove vs Orbis

I’ve tried every single hair serum in the west and, wanted to dive into Asian haircare! I’ve heard Unoeve’s Hair Silk Oil Essence has been ranked #1 in Korea for years! Coincidentally, Orbis’s Hair Essence Milk has also been ranked #1 in Japan for years!

To any of you that have tried these, what’s your feedback, opinions or advice on them? 🖤

Just finished anime Ouran HS Host Club- Does it continue in the manga? 🩷

I really loved how this anime made me feel but, it felt a bit rushed as an ending. Is this truly how their story ends?

Can someone tell me where to pick it off in the manga? If there’s a continuation~

I’d love any other recs as well! I’m new to classic shoujos and it’s been really helping me feel better :) 🩷🌷
