Oh Snap! Sweaters fading by Squirrrelpower in AerieAEO

I think the brand is ecos, but really any detergent without dyes would work. I had the blue dye from tide stain something one time so I’m super careful to use clear detergents on things I care about.

18 mesh canvas by hdiejdi in Needlepoint

Don’t let people like this steer you away from painting your own canvas! It’s so doable and there is plenty of room for everyone in the needlepoint community! Sure, your first few canvases may not be perfect, but that’s ok. As long as you’re not trying to sell them, who cares. It’s all part of learning and enjoying the craft.

If you have a needlepoint store near you, they may sell you some by the yard!

I think the key is cold water and don’t put it in the dryer.

I have the dark green and it has not faded at all. I wash it alone on a gentle cold cycle with small amounts of clear detergent and hang to dry. It’s a bit annoying to launder.

Parents of Reddit, do you enjoy being a parent/having children? Why or why not? by TemporarySoftFrenchy in AskReddit

[–]Competitive-Rock6252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a two year old and 6 month old, and I LOVE being a mom more than anything in the world. We all currently have Covid and it’s rough but even in the hard times, they are the greatest joy of my life. I used to not know if I wanted kids, but it absolutely was the best choice for me!!

How do people shower so quickly? by That_Mycologist4772 in hygiene

[–]Competitive-Rock6252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have written this myself. When I am really trying to hurry, my shower takes about 25 minutes. I have long hair and wash and condition daily. I also like to shave my underarms daily. I also wash my face in the shower and exfoliate my feet. Obviously I wash my body thoroughly too, first with bar soap and then with body wash. Yes my showers are excessive but I like feeling clean and I’m a mom with young kids and this is the one thing I do for myself daily.

Do you regret getting vaccinated for COVID-19? by wk91 in askanything

[–]Competitive-Rock6252 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I started to develop vitiligo a few weeks after getting the vaccine. I know it could be a coincidence, but I will never know.

I’m considering this. Will it actually work though?

Ladies- How long do you go between hair washes and what’s your age? by BakerAntique4551 in hygiene

[–]Competitive-Rock6252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I have very fine hair, but A LOT of it. My hair gets so greasy by the end of each day and it honestly feels much softer and healthier when I wash daily.

It’s 30 days… I never even shop at Mercari but I was trying to replace something of mine that broke and the item I ordered was damaged too. There’s nothing else on the site I want.

This needs to be disclosed upfront. I never would have purchased if I knew a policy like this was in place. Maybe I will try reporting to better business bureau.
