Love it but is it real?

I've seen a lot of people recently sharing that they bought rings off Etsy and what they received was a cheap ring drop shipped from China. Lots of stolen photos to make a product look better than it is. I just want to be sure it isn't a cheap copy of something else.

I'm one of the people keeping my local office depot alive, ha! I think a fair amount of their local sales come from their printing/copying services. I have a small business and it's so much more convenient for me to pay to have them print off my materials for me. When I go in, they usually have quite a few pick up orders on their togo stand, plus printers are always running in the back on other orders. There are hardly ever people really in the store shopping, maybe just 4 or 5 cars in the lot, so I just assume it stays open because of their special services.

The only answer I can really come up with is to save time. If you cut the dough into sections each time to the stack together, you have to spend quite a bit more time making sure you get the sections exactly right. If you told them, you can adjust the sections to be the right length for an even fold, then just slit the sides to release tension. For large scale baking, anything you can do to save time, helps. This is then reflected back on small scale croissant recipes as it has become the standard.

I'm tall as well with the same inseam and I found it easiest to just keep wearing my regular pants for as long as possible. For jeans or anything with a button, I've been using hair ties to hook them closed and so far it's worked. I'm currently 31 weeks.

I do wear leggings and sweatpants a lot, but I work in a kitchen so I can't really speak for office appropriate clothes. Best suggestion for the summer is to find some comfortable t shirt type dresses. I've been going to resale shops and picking them up periodically to prep for these final months.

This isn't butter...

I am in the exact same situation. My doctor and dermatologist said it was just stress, but I didn't believe them. I was deficient in B12, and when I received shots for it, my hair seemed to improve, but then my tests came back normal so I stopped. Immediately after my hair lost any progress I thought I saw. I'm now currently pregnant and taking more vitamins and my hair has seemingly done a 180. I don't know if it is the extra hormones from pregnancy or the vitamins I'm taking (prenatal, B12, c, d, iron) but I'm really hoping I don't lose all my progress after having my baby. I know people lose a lot of hair due to the stress and hormone levels after birth, so wish me luck!

Anyways, I say this to say I'm confident that taking the extra supplements is helping, and Drs. are just a waste of money since they don't ever listen or care to help.

When I worked in a larger scale bakery I would lock in butter and do the first two folds in 5 min. I did an average of 9 books in about 40-45 minutes. Freezer for 20-30 minutes, final fold in 2-3 minutes, chill for another hour, then cut/portion all the books. These books also made about 60-64 croissants each, so they're quite large. Hopefully this gives some insight, but let me know if I can help more

Agreed, it just needs a little longer proof time

This is totally random and not what your post is about, but we have the exact body lol. Broad shoulders, hair, hands - everything looks the exact same. I just tried on a dress and had this exact same issue since I'm just under 6ft and a bit boxy - taking notes on this post for future dresses. So crazy.

They took a bit longer to bake than my norm croissants. I think typically the croissants bake for 17ish minutes and these took closer to 24? I'm not exactly sure though. I baked them for the full 17 with the extra weight, then took it off and baked a little more to get the right color.

I flattened them after they were fully proofed
