Hi everyone so, it's been almost half a year since I began my matcha journey.

One thing I keep noticing is that how people have such strong opinions when it comes to milk for matcha lattes.

I have tried both oat and almond milk.

And I personally would always pick almond.

But it has such a negative rep in the community, I've seen people saying oat is better, it brings out the matcha whereas almond competes with it and kills it.

And if you prefer the "inferior" choice then all of a sudden you don't actually like matcha and you're just here for the trend. I think we all agree there is some form of elitism associated with matcha where people tend to look down on others.

And I already know and understand that it doesn't really matter and you are allowed to like what you like.

But as still relatively new, I'm still trying to understand why that is, hoping to know more about why do such a vast majority prefer oat, and if there's something inadequate in my assessment and I'm missing out on a key aspect, I'm totally up for suggestions and opinions. (I've ordered it again to test it one more time)

I have found the opposite to be true for me.

I've given both oat and almond a good amount of time and really hoped that oat would grow on me.

But in my experience I found oat milk to have a much stronger cereal, leaning taste and has seemed to always overpower the vegetal and earthy taste of matcha that I prefer.

Almond milk on the other hand appears lighter and more neutral to me and it allows the stronger matcha flavour to stand out.

But ofc pallette and preferences could vary.

For reference I prefer stronger matcha flavour so I use 4g ceremonial grade matcha (using kamaash no.5 atm)with 30-40ml water , 60ml milk and some monkfruit sweetner for sweetness and lots of ice.

Sorry if this is a know thing. As somebody who has only been making matcha at home everyday, I've been looking to try different things and make my mornings aesthetically pleasing.

What is this pink foam that I've been seeing a lot?

I saw sakura powder being sold . But idk if this is that or just strawberry ice cream?

And what is sakura powder if any of you guys have tried it?

Thank you <3

Hi ya'll, I've been looking to a buy red light therapy mask for a while now but haven't found a way I can fully trust without overpaying a lot.

The ones I'm interested in and have mostly heard about are current body, omnilux and dr. Dennis gross.

Current body has an indian website, which earlier showed 30k (out of stock) now shows 50k and still always out of stock.

Omnilux do not ship to india.

Dr.dennis gross is listed on Sephora india but again always out of stock.

There are a few listings on distalusa and style dotty but I'll have to overpay a lot including customs.

For current body there are listings on style dotty but the base price again is almost 10k over. I've seen omnilux only listed on ubuy sites of other countries.

Along with all of this, I'm concerned about exercising warranty on purchases made through these mediums as I'm assuming it would mostly not be possible. Which is risky considering its quite an investment.

I'm not someone who regularly imports expensive products, I also do not shop from instagram stores often.

Hence, I'm unaware of other channels.

I don't have a friend/relative who could get it from outside.

I only have experience buying from style dotty among the listed sites.

Has any of you bought any of the trusted red light masks?

Please let me know if you are aware of any other trusted medium you have experience with.
