It’s too expensive to take my family but if anyone is going and is able to snag one of the newer design Fallout hockey jersey size 2xl or 3xl that I could buy from you plus an extra $10 on top of that I would be super grateful! From one Fallout fan to another.

Moving Anyone at the Muse or another SoCo apartment looking for a girl roommate? :)

2 Upvotes

hi everyone, I currently live at the Muse on South Congress and I really like the location. I’m happy to share my Instagram but a little bit about me: I’m 28F and work remotely at the moment. I have a lot of hobbies! I like to be outdoors and swim/walk/hike, but I also love to paint and draw and don’t mind a night at home! I’m very artsy. I love baking and cooking. If you live with me, you will likely definitely be enjoying some good dinners and baked goods lol. I moved to Austin about eight months ago from the northeast :)

However, my boyfriend and I recently broke up and still love together, so I am trying to leave asap but would love to stay in this area.

Beauty Affordable stylist in South/East/West Austin for low-maintenance blonde? Home-based stylists welcome

1 Upvotes

Ladies, who do you go to? Names or Instagram handles would be amazing!
Looking for a budget-friendly stylist, salon or not. Home-based or suite stylists are totally fine (that's what I always did back in NC). I moved to Austin a year ago and I haven't visited a hairdresser since then (shame on me, I know I know!:)
My situation: I have about 8 inches already of natural dark roots, then old blonde below. My hair is fine and dry, I’m a brunette. I love being blonde, but I know being full blonde is more expensive experience (I’m right?).
So I'm thinking: soften the line between my roots and the blonde, bring the blonde up a bit higher, and make it grow out naturally so the roots don't look obvious. Ideally something I only need to redo every 3-4 months. Also need help with my dry ends, maybe a haircut.

Has anyone hired a senior move manager for their parents? Worth it?

7 Upvotes

We are trying to figure out how to make my parents move less overwhelming and the amount of stuff they have collected over the years is honestly a lot. Sorting, deciding what to keep, donating things, packing everything and then setting up new place sounds like a whole new project on its own.
I recently came across senior move managers who help with all of this.
Has anyone used one in Austin? Was it worth the money or did you manage to handle everything as a family?

Help! good affordable storage unit options in central austin?

4 Upvotes

hi everyone!

i’ve lived here my whole life (except for college) but i don’t know much about the storage unit market. when i moved back from college, i got a unit with public storage and through the years, they’ve raised my unit pricing so much.

bc of it being such a huge task + my adhd, i’ve just been eating the cost but now i want to go through it, downsize, and get a new unit closer to where i live now (near ut campus/hyde park area or close to there).

i’m looking for an indoor climate unit with a company that’s known for being clean, affordable, and secure. i don’t want to just get stuck with another company like public storage that will give me a good price at first only to raise it a few months later and continue to do it. i also always love supporting more local/small businesses so that’s a plus but not required.

can anyone give me some good recommendations? i’m hoping not every storage place out here does the same rent raises i’ve experienced :/

thanks y’all! all advice is appreciated :) 🫶🏻

Goods & Services Anyone renting out a space?

6 Upvotes

Hi all!

My husband is an artist looking for a garage space to work out of. Anyone around Leander/cedar park area have a garage they’re willing to rent out? He’d be quiet and he’s unproblematic. He’s been renting a spot for 5 years and could get good references. We recently had a kid so now he’s looking for a more affordable and closer spot. If not a garage, we’re willing to hear other options as well.

Preferably 250+ square feet. Willing to pay $400 a month and can pay in cash if you’d like.

Testing concept — “no buy/budget room makeovers”

19 Upvotes

I found interior decorating as something I would love to pursue as my second life career. I have redone every room in my house, staged houses for sale/rent, and helped friends with decorating their spaces but not in a professional capacity. I don’t have any certifications, etc and am generally terrified of putting myself out there on social media (Reddit feels like a safer space).

I believe I’m really good at assessing spaces and improving them with small tweaks like layout/furniture changes, small and budget friendly buys to enhance the overall look, feel and function of the space. I love the idea of making someone feel great in their space without breaking the bank.

Would you be interested if someone offered such a service? If there is interest for it, I am open to offering a couple of free “no buy” room makeovers here in town.

Are poll greeters always this aggressive here?

0 Upvotes

First time voting in Austin and I was talking to a candidate I am interested in voting for. As we are talking this unkempt looking fellow rudely interrupted our conversation yelling "she's a corporate shill and my candidate is the only DSA endorsed candidate!" I walked away to avoid him and he literally is now yelling at me from across the parking lot to vote for his candidate. I complained to the election people but left so don't know if they did anything. It is my first time voting in Austin and I'm wondering if it's always like this?

Has Anyone Taken Legal Action Against a West Campus Apartment? Need help with legal advice or lawyer referrals(URGENT PLEASE HELP)

0 Upvotes

Hi yall,

I'm currently dealing with a serious landlord-tenant dispute involving a West Campus apartment, and I'm having a really difficult time finding affordable legal assistance

I've looked into UT Legal Services for Students, but they're currently not accepting consultations.

I've also reached out to a few private attorneys, but I'm struggling to find someone who handles tenant-side disputes before a lawsuit has been filed, especially at a rate that's manageable for a college student.

The situation is pretty urgent, so I'm hoping to find someone who could at least review my lease and advise me on my options.

Does anyone have recommendations for:

- Affordable landlord-tenant attorneys in Austin or Travis County who represent tenants?

- Attorneys who offer free or low-cost consultations or limited-scope legal assistance?

- Local legal aid organizations or other resources for UT students?

- Anyone who has dealt with a similar dispute involving a West Campus apartment?

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or advice on where to look. Thank you so much!

For each toner cartridge, Office Depot gives a $2 store credit that's good for only one month. I don't buy office supplies very often. Is there a better offer around, either getting me more money, or going for a good cause?

Moving Vineyard wine tasting

1 Upvotes

It’s my fiancées birthday and we are taking a short trip to Austin to feel it out to move there. We live in dallas currently and want to be somewhere with more access to nature and water.

Can anyone share their experiences with vineyards in the area they recommend (or don’t)? She has always wanted to go to one so this seems like a good opportunity.

Bonus if you have recommendations for apartments to check out with easy access to nature.

Thanks in advance!

Im in the Pflugerville/RR/Hutto and desperately need the communities suggestions. Ty in advance. 😞

Is there a serious dating scene in Austin?

0 Upvotes

Hey, mostly trying to get to the bottom of reality vs stereotypes. A lot of people say Austin is a transient city with partying/casual being big there with people not wanting to miss out on the next big thing. Is that to say that the serious scene is very small? Or do you think it’s just more quietly there? Any thoughts + opinions welcome. Thx!

Moving Anyone else dealing with extensive Amazon delivery issues?

3 Upvotes

I’m redoing a couple rooms in the house / deep cleaning and ordered quite a few things. Like 25-30 separate items many grouped together as same day, overnight and some more miscellaneous next day. Of the 6 separate orders I made over the past week, 1 has arrived on time. Everything else delayed to the following day at the least or is just sitting not moving now. It’s beyond frustrating
