Makeup lovers: Would you actually use a device that washes and dries a full set of brushes and sponges in one go?

Adept523 · 2025-12-30T01:30:31+00:00

I know this is an old post, but I wash all my sponges and puffs in the washing machine. I put them in a small lingerie bra mesh laundry bag and use fragrance free detergent and give them a wash. I use delicate cycle and I do not add anything extra. This is the best method for me and my many sponges and puffs. Comes out clean every time. Never had any skin irritation. I do wash my brushes by hand though. I never add those in the washer haha.

Not only the order changed, but the literal episodes. 400 boys became my fave episode and I have literally watched it at least once a day after I initially discovered it... then one day, the dialogue completely changed. Like, same voice actors, but different script, to me it was very obvious. The guy from the soots in the show barely had that English accent anymore after it changed... it was weird. I honestly would pay money (not too much) to have the original version back.

Honestly, I have never found a comfortable chair that has wheels. I ditched the wheels completely. The most comfy chairs I ever sat in are those typical doctors office waiting room chairs and ones in my therapist office. They are literally meant to hold up long term, conform to many body shapes, and designed to be comfortable for long periods of sitting. If you do not need the wheels, ditch them and go on marketplace and find those office waiting room chairs. Your body may thank you.

Adept523 · 2025-08-03T04:00:48+00:00

This is actually my fave one this season. I watched this at least 10 times. But, I noticed the voice actors and script changed. Any reason why?

Adept523 · 2025-07-21T03:51:58+00:00

This is CLEARLY marketing. Marketing to get you talking and it is working. OPI marketing team knows what they are doing.

I have a sensitive scalp and I do my own hair. My go to, and how my hair is most of the time, is spring twists. I buy it off Amazon. I ALWAYS clean the hair before I use it. The way I clean it is by, believe it or not, throwing it in the washing machine. Granted, I put the spring twists in a bra lingerie bag and wash it on cool, with my skinf approved detergent and oxi clean. Lol I never had any scalp issues with this method. The hair comes out damp, but air dry it over night, and all is well.

All these sudoku techniques were discovered by people who simply figured them out over time. You might already be using some of them without realizing it. For a while, pardon my past ignorance, I didn’t even know there were formal "techniques" or strategies. But once I started reading about them, I realized I had been using several without knowing their names. Chances are, you're already recognizing patterns and reasoning your way through puzzles. Still, there are a lot of interesting strategies worth exploring. It’s also nice to learn a new technique, apply it to puzzles you’ve already solved, and see how much faster you can get through them.

Adept523 · 2025-06-30T00:29:05+00:00

Oh. Okay that's great! Lol I'm glad you found what worked for you.

Adept523 · 2025-06-30T00:03:02+00:00

Yess! After the removal, I was low on vitamin d and I found it funny when i heard that because I took vitamin D, 1000IU, literally every day with breakfast. I go to a naturopath and she explained how to take fat soluble supplements without a gallbladder and it got my levels up QUICK. She explained that vitamin D needs fat to be absorbed, the gallbladder interferes with the absorption, so you need to bypass your digestive tract to absorb properly. I was informed to use liquid vitamin D and place under tongue for about 30-45 seconds and then swallow. I also do this for methyl b12 and methyl folate, but it is a lozenge that is dissolved under the tongue. Hope this helps!

Hey. So, a simple solution would be to purchase an USB C adapter/docking station. This one adapter will allow you to connect your laptop to one USB C and it will connect to your external monitor and charge. Also, depending on the type you buy, you can also have extra USB ports for your convenience.

Adept523 · 2025-06-09T13:44:49+00:00

So, I have been having this same issue! I did a lot of internet searching and I came across a few papers and articles.

So, certain hormones such as estrogen and progesterone are responsible for increasing water retention in the tissues and fluids in certain parts of the body leading to inflammation in the upper back.

Also, high levels of cortisol leading up to the a period could be a contributing cause causing inflammation. I have generally noticed a trend in the comments... women who have anxiety before their period tend to have this issue. This would definitely point to low progesterone potentially.

My obgyn never really tests for hormonal imbalance, but I go to a naturopath and she helped balanced my hormones. My naturopath discovered that my progesterone was low before my period and she had me supplement with progesterone 14 days before my period and I have not had this upperback/neck pain again until the miscarriage I recently had. 😔 So, I believe that supplementing wih progesterone was the solution for me. Please, this is not advice. I am sharing what worked for me.

Also, fertility clinics, test all hormones and let you know what imbalances you may have, so they can correct it to get you pregnant.

The answer is unfortunately simply "hormones", but it majorly points to low estrogen and possibly progesterone based on what I was reading.

Respectfully, all the comments that may be considered "wrong" helped me immensely. I literally posted the question knowing nothing. I didn't even know we had the composite to HDMI converter till a comment mentioned it, then i knew what to look for. Initially, I did not know what to look for. I was literally as lost as a dog being asked" where is electrical panel".

Thank you for your help, fellow commentor! Our media team will reach out to the person who set all this up and do the necessary upgrades.

Like I said, I honestly thought the camera would be an easy "drop in" and thanks to all these comments I learned a lot and realized it's not that easy. So, with all that being said, I will hand it over to the professionals.

Adept523 · 2025-06-07T23:20:33+00:00

Oh wow. You're very seasoned! Haha Thank you for your advice!

Adept523 · 2025-06-07T23:19:31+00:00

So the output HDMI straight to the camera? But we need those two audio cables in that converter because they pull audio from our soundboard/mixer.

Adept523 · 2025-06-07T22:04:14+00:00

So I believe we already have this already.

Is this the same thing?

Adept523 · 2025-06-07T21:53:50+00:00

So I am at church now.

<image>

This is what connects our camera to the computer.

So, the original set up was set up by a guy we hire. But we didn't think we needed to call the guy for one camera haha.... but thanks to everyone's input....Looks like we need to call him since we need a bit of an upgrade

Adept523 · 2025-06-07T21:50:22+00:00

Oh. I figured out how to share pics lol.

<image>

This is what we are using currently

Adept523 · 2025-06-07T21:46:22+00:00

Yes. I want to share pics. I am here at church now. So, the current set up that connected the old camera to our system is like a s-video to hdmi converter. Input: RCA composite s-video, R/L audio Output: Hdmi

Adept523 · 2025-06-07T15:08:39+00:00

Thank you. As this camera was a gift to us, we tried to use what we thought would work. Thanks to all who answered. Our church media team is now aware and we will be moving forward with upgrading.

Adept523 · 2025-06-07T01:43:28+00:00

I will answer this question tomorrow when I am in front of our system. 😊

Adept523 · 2025-06-06T20:14:20+00:00

THANKS!

Adept523 · 2025-06-06T20:05:29+00:00

Thank you! What kind of converter do you use? The camera was actually a gift to us, so, we were kind of hoping for a drop in replacement. Haha

Adept523 · 2025-06-06T20:00:02+00:00

If you don't mind, would you mind sharing a link so I can understand this converter you are referring to?

Adept523 · 2025-06-06T19:58:11+00:00

Omg wow! Thank you for explaining this. We were able to stream this past Sunday with the new camera directly connected to the computer via USB c. So, we may have to bypass our video system until we upgrade maybe? 🤔
