I'm running low on some makeup and after some research have decided to shop at https://www.elatecosmetics.ca/

Anyone else having trouble with the limit of only 5 daily challenges? And some of the challenges (like sign a petition) shouldn't be a daily challenge. I feel like I could do (or am doing) a lot more than they allow us to say. Five things a day isn't very challenging (no straws, pick up litter, reusable coffee cup, utensils from home, refuse bags). Most of us probably do all of these things already and now can't pick anymore challenges :(
