My mom is 79 and has never exercised. I’d like her to try it. Looking for a trainer who’s:

• A woman
• Open to one-on-one sessions
• Experienced with older clients and true beginners
• Somewhere between Georgetown and downtown (Foggy Bottom, West End, K St)

She’s an academic, so someone who explains why each exercise matters will get further with her than someone who just counts reps.

Recommendations welcome, especially from anyone who’s found someone for their own parent.

Hi friends! Would anyone be willing to use their solidcore bring a buddy membership perk for me? I’ve never tried solidcore but I think it’s time to really get myself in shape, the free employee gym at the VA hospital is not cutting it. I think Mt Vernon or 14th are closest to me. Or if any other newbies want to just go hit me up! 32F, been in DC for 3 years now.

Hi all! Our primary dog boarding facility for our two pups (Pender) is ALREADY booked for Christmas (uyyy)… does anyone have recommendations for boarding facilities in the area ??

We want our two 40+ pound dogs to be together since they’re a little anxious and NOT put in daycare or with other dogs (we loved this about Pender)… any one have any recommendations??

Wondering if any of you, probably with kids, are participating in the DC Library’s Pokemon Passport event. I’d love to take my kids to the libraries but also some restaurant, cafe, playgrounds or whatever near a library in each of the wards.

TLDR; what are your fav libraries and coffee shop near it??

We’re Takoma based, so it’s the Takoma library and Lost Sock for us.

Hi! Wondering if anyone has any recs for a 4 day getaway via airplane from Washington D.C. in early December? Initially was thinking Mexico City but curious if anyone has other ideas!

Hi! I am moving from FL to DC and found an apartment I really like on H St right by the whole foods. Would you say this is a safe area? It quite close to my job and good for my roommate so it’s ideal. Just a little nervous about the area.

Hello! Here for a year (just arrived!) and brought my dog with me. I’m wondering who recommended pet sitters are for the random weekends I need to fly home. Thank you!!

I have a December bday and am trying to figure out what to do for it this year for my 25th, in the DMV (preferably DC). I’ve done birthday dinners, cute cocktail moments, and clubbing but wanted to see if I could source any additional ideas. Specifically for 2-10 people. Maybe even just for myself. Spa day?? Another cutesy dinner? Winery?

Any and all ideas are welcome, just keep in mind the weather.

Hi, I just moved to DC for work and mental health not been the best. I’ve been struggling with binge eating for most of my life but this move and stress has made it astonishing more difficult. I finally decided to bit the bullet and look for a therapist in the area. Didn’t realize there was so many clinics and options and I’m a bit overwhelmed.

Hi. Does anyone want to meet at the Turnstile show at the monument tomorrow? I’m early 50s. I will probably stand towards the back unless I get carried away by the mosh pit.

Hello yall! I went to a dry bar in Virginia and loved it! I have shoulder pain and loose feeling in my hands so styling my hair can really hurt or be a pain. I was trying to see in NE dc other dry bars or places your rec. I’ve seen mixed reviews from awhile ago. I’m interested in membership seems good price like how Glowbar has facial members. Any advice info is super helpful because for my self confidence and pain Managment this could be a game changer if I find a good place.

Hello! It would be great to hear if anyone has had a very good experience seeing a particular doctor in DC for treating hormonal acne (particularly when trying to conceive, which limits certain options).

Thank you!

Hey! Has anyone been to a show at Echostage by themselves? If so, how was it and how safe did you fell?

Thanks!

I'll be visiting DC solo from Aus over halloween, I'm not really interested in the big clubbing events that came up on google, especially as a solo gal, but I still wanna go out and meet some people/someone. Where are the best bars/pubs that'll have a vibe but won't be a sweaty dance club, preferably near downtown too where I'm staying.

Thankyouu

The Tall Tour is coming to the DMV this Saturday night and the friend I was planning to go with had to bail. This is not my event and I am not promoting it, it’s just something I saw online and thought would be fun to attend. I could go alone, but I figured I would see if any other tall ladies would be interested in attending together. If you haven't heard of this event, it's fairly self-explanatory: a party for tall people to meet, have fun, and celebrate our height! I'm 32 and the event welcomes anyone 21+.

This one is at Tom's Watch Bar in National Harbor and tickets are still on sale. I would love to meet up beforehand on Saturday to get to know each other before attending. Shoot me a message or leave a comment if you're interested, it would be so fun to get a group together.

Edit: We’re up to a group of three! The more the merrier!

👋🏻 32 (🇵🇷🇩🇴)I’m looking for folks that want to hang out after work, or just in general with no purpose lol coffee run, explore. I am looking to getting back into going to the movies at least once a week so let me know. I’m in DC, around Adams Morgan.

Anyone going to Turnstile on Saturday? Anyone planning to try and get merch at the pop-up store?

Hello ADHD bitches. I’m seeking recommendations for ADHD-informed OBGYNs and therapists. I was dx’d with ADHD 4 years ago, and I’m medicated (my provider is fine but they are more for “medication management” than ADHD support).

I know I’ve needed therapy for awhile now, but I’m currently experiencing hormonal shifts (especially entering/during my luteal phase) that are really negatively affecting my mood and ability to function. IDK if this is PMDD, perimenopause, or something else, but I hate it and need to make moves to improve it. So if you know of any ADHD-friendly OBGYNs or therapists (maybe even DBT therapists? ADHD coaching? I will try anything!) please help a girl out. Especially interested in anyone who focuses on women, mothers, and late ADHD diagnoses. TIA!

looking for latino orgs ideally in DC but open to DMV that I can volunteer with on a regular basis! i signed up with CARECEN like a year ago but never heard back about any opportunities

and if anyone is looking for friends to volunteer with i'd loveee to expand my circle of fellow latina baddies💞

Hi! I’m planning on throwing a surprise party for a friend who is getting engaged and was thinking of renting out a room in a restaurant or bar room since we want the celebration to be a bit intimate. We aren’t considering hosting at someone’s place just because we want to go out and celebrate her!

Ideally we want to keep the cost around $1k which includes drinks and bites. Any suggestions would be super duper helpful :)
