Hi Aik, thanks for sharing your honest opinions on glossier skin care. It’s a brand I’ve heard a lot about but haven’t looked into too much. I also like to keep my skin care routine pretty simple so when I find something that works I rarely switch things up. Have you looked into the glossier perfume at all? I’m definitely a perfume girly so I’d be interested in trying that out. Thanks for sharing 🤗

Ohh I haven't tried the Glossier perfume yet, but I hear it's very popular and not-too-strong. Love how it comes in a balm as well - so travel friendly!

Thank you for the great video and tips! I just signed up for an inspection this Saturday. Would you recommend me reaching out to the agent and try to schedule a private inspection prior to show my interest? Regardless of that, if you really liked an apt during the inspection, can you make an offer on the spot prior to applying? Tyvm!
@alwaysaik26 күн бұрын
So exciting welcome to Sydney, it's an amazing city! Private inspections are kind of challeging to organise because the agent will need to agree with the tenant to have access to the property. If you want a private showing, I recommend trying to go on a weekdays, because hardly anyone is there :) You can provide a verbal offer but agents will usually ask you to submit a written offer because they have to provide the info to the landlord to assess suitable tenants. Definitely check out DOMAIN and REAL ESTATE dot com - to help compare prices to similar apartments in the area. I hope that's helpful and good luck with the inspections 😊
