The fashion business seems to thrive on either body positivity or body negativity, but not body neutrality. If you feel neutral.about you body, I guess that doesn’t prompt you to spend a ton of money on products to celebrate or disguise it.
You want to buy a mattress encasement AND a box spring encasement to cover both. An encasement surrounds and seals in the mattress/ boxspring. A topper just covers the top.
Make sure you buy the correct size (too loose is less helpful). If you have a futon, buy an encasement specifically for a futon.
Is that even legal to state?
This push for full return to the office is a stealth layoff.
That's the (loud, obnoxious) alarm that everyone's cellphone gets when the city sends an emergency text alert. He didn’t need to start the video with that, though.
In the actual study (linked to in the article) they mentioned testing this out with the coffee or tea powder substituting 1, 2 or 3% of the flour in the recipe. Also note that the used coffee grounds and tea leaves were repeatedly rinsed with distilled water, then dried and made into a powder. So, different than just used grounds or leaves that you would have handy.
Still, this might inspire me to find some existing recipes that call for coffee grounds and tea leaves.
Does the couple have a gift registry?
I don’t coddle them, but I want them to feel secure and confident in talking to me.
I think it’s ok to coddle them every once in a while. You won’t spoil them if its occasional.
This sounds perfect.
Upliftingnews on Lemmy.World is a good one. I’m on kbin so not sure how to link:
I’m in agreement. Go after the amateur hotel LLC landlords and allow the occasional Airbnb-ers. Maybe the city chose the route, though, because it is harder to distinguish between the two in a simple way.
The people I know who do short term rentals only rent out their homes when they are out of town (e.g., one friend works in the arts and this allows her to travel for work abroad; my neighbors, also artists, do this a couple times a year so that their family can go on vacation). I think this will hurt the little guys. I think the people I know might end up doing home swaps (swapping their house or apartment for free) - which would still mean strangers in their home that neighbors might have to interact or deal with, but not covered by this policy.
I can’t remember where I first heard about using SA to help with body odor but at some point I found this article. I’ve occasionally used acids that I had on hand like lactic, mandelic, or glycolic (I use then to exfoliate my face or body periodically). But SA works so well and is gentle enough to use twice a day, so I stick with it.
I currently use Dermaharmony 2% SA soap (@$7 on Amazon) and Stridex XL pads for face and body (@$4 also on Amazon, 90 pads IIRC) - I picked the cheapest products that work for me. I’ve used Cerave SA face wash, Alba Botanica SA face and body scrub, different kinds of Korean facial toners, and different brands of SA treatment pads. I think any SA products with 2% SA will work.
Please reply in the future to let me know if it works for you. It’s certainly cheaper than Lume! ETA: If you want to stick with mandelic acid, you could buy a bottle of it from The Ordinary and use a few drops a day. It would be much cheaper. Other companies probably also sell mandelic acid serum.
Please post your results!
If you don’t want to smell, yet don’t want to use a deodorant, I highly recommend using a salycitic acid (SA) product on your armpits. It will kill the bacteria that causes body odor, prevent ingrown hairs, help with inflammation and hyperpigmentation, and it is inexpensive (you can find it in a lot of acne products aimed at teens and young adults, so they are affordable). I use a SA bar soap on my pits in the morning and use a Stridex pad in the evening. I have no armpit odor anymore after making these changes. I use deodorant occasionally for the scent, but the SA is doing the heavy lifting. It won’t stop you from sweating, however,.since it’s not an antiperspirant but I find i don’t mind so long as I smell good.
Would you say you both share the management tasks 50/50 as well?
I think it depends on the task. We have our areas that we focus on (e.g., me laundry, him cooking) but there are others where we come together/alert each other of issues or tasks that are coming up (e.g., selecting afterschool for our children).
My husband does all those things but I also do a lot of the “every other weekend” type chores, too, like organizing all of our stuff, back to school supplies shopping, maintaining our appointment calendars, and dealing with our children’s change of season clothing swaps. There are always projects and we split them.
I do consider him sharing the housework as 50/50, however, because he does daily tasks, also. He does the cooking, half of the cleaning, half of the schlepping of children to doctor’s appointments and playdates, as well as other as needed things. The daily chores is where the rubber meets the road.
He has also been taking on more small but important daily tasks like monitoring our email inboxes for emails from our kids’ schools. I think its more than equitable given that the early years of our lives with children i was either nursing through the night or holding/wearing infants throughout the day. I think a lot of men don’t seem to register the overnight labor or the constantly carrying babies and infants as labor (it was freaking exhausting).
I don’t think he said what he was using the ingredient for so it’s hard to suggest one.
I, too, wanted to know the recommendation he was given. I’m nosey!
¿Por qué no los dos?
You can try NewPipe, which is free. IIRC I downloaded it from F-Droid. Maybe someone else can reply and confirm that’s the best place to get it.
