How do you handle social life with Invisalign? I’m starting my treatment next month and I’m wondering how I’ll navigate this. I’m newly divorced in my early 30s. I love grabbing dinner and drinks with friends, and I am considering starting to date again soon.

Are my wine/cocktails and appetizer days gone for the foreseeable future?! Do you take your aligners out during the date and put them back in after? Brush your teeth at the restaurant? No snacks or drinks at the movies? What’s everyone doing?

Hi all!

I made an extremely impulsive purchase after doing minimal research. Honestly, I was so overwhelmed with all the different options, specs, pricing, etc.

I ended up coming across a refurbished “Amazon Renewed” forerunner 265s for $248 (was $269 but I had a $37 credit to use).

I’m a moderately active person who runs and does HIIT, strength training, and in the winter I snowboard. I mainly want to track health/fitness. I could never wear my watch to sleep bc my current one has to be charged overnight, so also excited to try tracking my sleep. I’m an Apple Watch user but currently I don’t even use my watch for calls/messages. I actually have that function disabled entirely.

I went with the 265s for the price and the size on my wrist (was worried going to a full size would be a drastic difference and feel too bulky, plus I’m frugal)

So; what do you think? Will this watch suit my needs? Was it worth the money? It gets delivered tomorrow so I haven’t even laid eyes on it yet!

For context I’m going through a divorce and this whole process is really difficult. Moving out of my first home, back to single apartment living. Trying to stay optimistic. Struggling to decide which is the better option here. I’m a woman in my early 30s, I do have a car so walkability not a deal breaker but desirable.

Price is a negligible difference so not a factor

Apartment 1

Pros: cleaner, more updated kitchen/cozy, wood floors, lots of sunlight, desirable location in the middle of town, walkable

Cons: much smaller than #2, shared laundry in basement, 2nd level (private fire escape entrance), limited parking

Apartment 2

Pros: laundry in unit, larger overall, large private parking lot, shared yard space, 1st floor

Cons: much more outdated, rough around the edges, darker/not a lot of sunlight, mostly carpeted, farther outside of town (only by ~1/2 mile) but no sidewalks and in a busy road so not as walkable.

Am I crazy for considering the cozier apt despite it being significantly smaller and no in unit laundry? It’s been a while since I’ve lived in an apartment and I’ve never had to share laundry before. I know decorating can help with #2, but it can only do so much with what I have to work with lol.

Lmk your thoughts! WWYD?
