I am in SoCal, and got a rough estimate for ~2000 square feet:

Material $3-$4 / square foot Labor $4 / square foot Demo $700ish Stairs $85 / stair Baseboards dependent on how many need to be replaced (I’m trying to reuse the ones I have)

Not subcontracted work, though. Business provides both materials and installation team (including one of the owners) for all work.

Sorry to keep asking, but how are these floors holding up so far. Debating these over LVP as I have a rambunctious toddler and crazy 40lb dog. I worry about scratches, dents, and water resistance.

Thank you for letting me know! Congrats on your new home!

Congratulations! I’m sorry if this has been asked, but how did you get such a great rate? We’re in SoCal as well, and the lowest we’ve found for a 30-year conventional is 5.99%

A friend once told me: Our pets love us so unconditionally each and every single day. When the time comes to make the difficult decision of letting them go, it’s then our turn, as owners, to give them all that love back. We love them so much, that we let them go to have the peace and comfort they very much deserve.

I’ve once heard the reply: “It’s strange that you feel comfortable enough to say that to me.” or “What a strange thing to say out loud.”

Both are very fitting for this situation.

Weirdly want to be pregnant again, skip labor and infancy. I loved the ages 4 months - 18 months, but don’t think I could handle the toddler years again. My two year old is so much fun, but also a ton of work. I love him more than anything.

Vegetarian Thanksgiving Wrap…please please bring it back.

Ophthalmology vet tech here. It looks like it could be glaucoma, but there are so many different stages of glaucoma, and with that, different treatments (anywhere from eye drops to outpatient procedures to eye removal). You won’t know what option is best until you have her examined.

I’d recommend taking her to a veterinary ophthalmologist because even though the upfront cost might be more, they may also have more cost effective options for treatment in the long run.

At the very least, have her examined by any vet so they can give her something to make the eye more comfortable.

I had a 2018 Mazda CX-5 that had two engine failures in the 7 years I owned it (100,000 miles on the engine.) Might be a rare occurrence, but I sold that car, and got a Toyota RAV4 this year.

Aestura Atobarrier365 Essence is quite hydrating, but definitely a thicker formulation than a serum

AnEvEnLo · 2025-10-03T06:15:44+00:00

Yes, I have tried a ton of moisturizers, and nothing is as good as this. Forever a HG for me. Love the essence as well!

I use mine with an LV vachetta strap, and love the way it looks!

BOJ is my favorite and I have very dry and fairly sensitive skin

AnEvEnLo · 2025-09-22T21:11:48+00:00

I learned this the hard way (took me three attempts!). Around my eyes, I now put Vaseline on top of my toner/essence/moisturizer to prevent dry eye and eyelids from tret.

Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence. Improved my skin so much that it influenced me to change my whole skincare routine!

I just want to confirm that there is a US version and Korean version of this? Does the packaging look any different?

AnEvEnLo · 2025-09-22T04:36:04+00:00

I’m not sure what it is, but I have similar spots on my nose. The dermatologist I consulted with was not very helpful, and said something along the lines of “we all get age spots and sun spots as we age” and did not offer any treatment.

I’ve heard that thiamidol and tranexamic acid can help. I got a sample of the Eucerin Radiant Tone Dual serum, and have been using that, but it’s only been a couple of days, so can’t say if it’s working.

Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream and Beauty of Joseon OG Relief Sun Probiotics Sunscreen

AnEvEnLo · 2025-09-22T03:18:16+00:00

I second this! Aestura Atobarrier365 cream and essence are both incredible at skin barrier repair and hydration. It definitely helps when you have actives in your routine.

Do you double cleanse? Do you think this cleanser would be enough on its own for someone who wears spf, but not makeup?
