I’m surprised how far down I had to scroll to find this as an answer!

Yeah I’ve read accounts of it and I’m definitely a bit nervous! It’ll be an experience to remember for sure! Just up and down the East coast on my boat. I sailed to Bermuda on a different boat. That was a really cool place! Anchored beside the Statue of Liberty in my boat, which is something I never thought I would do!

I know! You have to seriously slug it up as quickly as possible, huh? Won’t be buying that product again!

Fair enough. Each to their own I guess.

I guess it depends on what you care about. The time frames aren’t just arbitrary numbers that the manufacturers whacked on their packaging. Actives like hyalauronic acid and vitamin C break down over time. So your products could not really be doing what you are hoping for anymore. Additionally microbe introduction can lead to infection and you won’t necessarily be able to tell by looking at it.

If you have heard of Labmuffin’s Dr. Michelle Wong you will probably know that she is a great resource for science based information on skincare and beauty. Here is an interview with her about it.

Straight moisturisers are not something I will even pay attention to because I get through them so fast anyway. SPF is something I’ve always paid attention to the expiry dates for. I don’t want to mess with my eyes so I’m definitely going to be paying attention to those dates a bit more-application method will likely affect that.

The idea behind this PSA was for people like me who didn’t know how long each product was meant to be good for and wanted to know. As I said, maybe most people already knew this. I like knowing it because I was stretching out products with actives far too long that I should’ve just used up quicker.

I like the top on smaller bottles and will likely try that method on future. Thanks.

Yep east coast USA again. Heading to the Bahamas. Given the boat a good shake down over the past year so goal is to go through the Panama Canal early next year and start working our way across the Pacific. Lots of planning involved!

Came here to randomly give Dave appreciation for running this instance but seems like somebody beat me to it. Nice! Stuck in the cold due to an autopilot failure a couple of days ago and waiting to get that sorted before heading to warmer weather. Having trouble finding good weather windows to head offshore though. I’m so ready for the beach!

The seastheday ladies who just rowed across the pacific, unassisted, non stop. It took them almost 6 months and there were only two of them doing 2 hours on, 2 hours off shifts. I don’t know them but I keep telling people about their amazing achievement!

Onetab does this too

Now we need a photo tax of the cute ratties!

I tried the whole only rinsing in the morning thing and my aesthetician convinced me to start washing my face both am and pm again. She was right. This helped with clogging. I think the one a day isn’t for everyone.

The biggest thing for me personally has been water quality. Have you tried shower head filter and maybe a tap filter? I don’t know what water quality is like where you live but could be something to look into.

Same. What has been really disappointing for me is that a lot of places where my only option used to be a black bean burger have now replaced that with an impossible or beyond burger. It’s great for people who are trying to cut back on meat consumption so I like that they exist but please stop replacing my black bean burgers!

Aww i miss my dumbo girl so much!

Was this a debate about tennis balls? My spouse and I have had this exact disagreement!

They also have the Clog Boot if you are specifically after a boot look.

Are jelly platforms something you’d consider?

Oh interesting! I don’t think I will try it then. Thanks for the info!

I recommend looking into raw denim communities if there are any on lemmy. Japanese denim might give you what you are looking for. I have a pair of Edwin 503s that sound a lot like what you are asking about.

The original post that they took a screenshot of was posted on 22.2.22, that’s fun!

If we did a straight shot from here it would be around 2.7 days. Weather is looking better to do a couple of hops down the coast though and then cross to the Bahamas so hopefully by the end of the week.
