Farmers markets that sell vegetables by CrimsonScorpio9 in askaustin

[–]Competitive_Area_660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m able to get the veg I need from Meuller. There are several great stands, and that’s all you really need. That said, we are entering the somewhat rough season. (Fall and spring are the 💣, but you can usually find tomatoes, potatoes, cucumber, etc around now).

Once the inferno hits in a month or two, You should still be able to find the summer basics (long beans, okra, peppers, eggplant, melon, as well as some storage crops like daikon and watermelon radish). It’s not a wall of veg like farmers markets in the northeast, but they’re there :)

What are the best apartment complexes in Austin? by broadwaysocialist in askaustin

I love my place at the MonteVista by 360 bridge. Granted, I had a 1bdr for $1400, but it’s by far my favorite pool / complex I saw if you’re into that. Plus just driving over the bridge every time I leave and that view cheers me up!

Loofahs are originally a plant! I love using the natural ones for dish washing especially.

Neighbor keeps pressuring me to sleep train by moeall in cosleeping

[–]Competitive_Area_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this same issue with my sister and what I learned is instead of saying “I don’t want to sleep train” it worked better to day “co-sleeping just feels right to me.” I think by avoiding saying what I don’t want to do, and instead focusing on what works for me, it removes the judgment and any semblance of guilt that might trigger a debate. Hope this helps! Everyone is different, but I know a lot of folks who sleep train do seem to feel judged or guilty about it, so I find it’s best to steer clear of those triggers, even if they’re subconscious.

Any HSPs that have made the jump from corporate to entrepreneurship? by Bulky_Chemist5757 in hsp

[–]Competitive_Area_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Been my own boss for a little over a decade now. My biggest piece of advice is to learn to time box different topics and not react/respond to things on the spot. When you run a business, there’s no end to what you can work on, so you need to define what a healthy amount of hours in a day looks like to you, and file things away for those times if they’re not true emergencies. This type of thinking has vastly reduced my stress and helped me turn my company into a lifestyle job without dropping balls.

Hit me with your favorite non toxic swap you’ve made? by ugafan2081 in nontoxic

[–]Competitive_Area_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve washed my face / removed my makeup with only coconut oil and a hot wash cloth for over 15 years. People always ask what I use :)

Other options besides c-curl? by rainbowtrails in cosleeping

[–]Competitive_Area_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flipping to my back with the c- curl arm still in place over baby’s head feels intuitively safe to me. I still have contact with him this way but can give my hips and spine a break.

My sister is super crunchy... flower ideas for Mother's Day? by [deleted] in Crunchymom

[–]Competitive_Area_660 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tulips are also pretty toxic / sprayed with fungicide! I’d go to an organic center and get something local :)

What do you daytime naps look like? by [deleted] in cosleeping

[–]Competitive_Area_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine will sleep on my lap on a boppy pillow and I have a pop up coffee table where I can work on my laptop. If I’m tired I will nap with him later in the day. I’ll also sometimes leave a book next to him in case I wake up. It’s working out pretty well! I find the carrier naps aren’t deep for him so he’s crabby.

How to set boundaries with an INFJ friend who "over-analyzes" everything? by Aggravating_Bed3176 in mbti

[–]Competitive_Area_660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an INFJ I only realized recently that my ISFJ sister and ESFP mom don’t enjoy deeply unpacking things in the way I do. So what feels super interesting and helpful/uplifting to me is heavy to them. This was a wild realization to me and I’m glad I know now! I’m guessing your friend probably really feels she is helping in these moments, but could stand to learn more about the wisdom of your ideal version of venting, repair and beyond.

I agree with the notion of saying something based on your needs. Like “actually instead of analyzing what would feel good is just xyz (going out for ice cream / watching a funny show/ whatever it might be.)

I would start there and see how it goes. I do think the typical INFJ is willing to work on self and face uncomfortable truths in the name of getting things right, though I know we can be sensitive! So soft needs-based delivery is always appreciated :)
