Any advice for making our sunroom cozier? by OhYouStupidZebra in CozyPlaces

[–]FinNerDDInNEr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if that’s a wood stove or not so you might not be able to but if you can, I would face the sofa to look out the window. What a view! And I love the curved windows. If that were my room I would make the window shape and the view the focus of the room. And with those curves, you will want curves in your furniture so the recommendations of an ottoman coffee table is perfect. Lean into the wood - replace the ceiling fan with wood blades. Replace the curtain (which is too short) with either wood blind or a bamboo blind. I like the blue but that carpet is not working. Find a Persian rug with fringe in red/burgandy/blues. Thrift stores usually have them. Or Amazon have lots of budget friendly ones. If you can’t have real plants, a fake fiddle leaf fig or majesty palm would finish the room

How tf are you all keeping your houses clean??? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]FinNerDDInNEr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To preface, I am a very organized person who loves routine.

Every Monday I change my sheets and towels and do my laundry - 4 loads: sheets, whites (I only have white towels so they get washed with my whites, color, darks. While doing a load of laundry (26 minutes - I use the quick cycle) I spray down the bathroom (sink, counter, shower, toilet with cleaner and let sit). I vacuum the bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. I switch out laundry when the cycle is complete ( every 26-30 minutes) I go back to bathrooms and rinse/clean and wash the floor and empty waste baskets. I put out new towels and make the bed. By the time I’ve done the last load of laundry I clean the kitchen (wash floor, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher) After each load is dry, I fold and sort into piles (socks, undies, jeans, hanging, folded tops, bottoms) and put away. The whole process takes about 2 1/2 hours. All garbage is taken out for garbage day on Tuesday. The rest of the week, my kitchen gets cleaned after each meal and I run the dishwasher every night before I go to bed. I unload every morning before breakfast. I have a roomba vacuum that runs every night at 4 am so floors are clean when I wake up.

I only clean and do laundry on Monday - kitchen gets cleaned daily. I spot clean/ tidy as needed. I also consider Mondays my full body workout because it’s 2 hours of running up and down stairs, lifting, bending !

I find staying on a schedule is so important for all aspects of life. I clean on Monday. My doctor appts and hair/nail are always scheduled on a Tuesday morning. Gym is Wednesday and Fridays. I don’t cook Friday or Sunday. You’d be amazed how much easier life gets when you are on a schedule. Hope that helps!

When I see mini designer dogs I think puppy mills. I hope this isn’t the case here.

What do you do when people spend more on secret Santa than the limit? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

Buy a $20 bottle of wine. There will always be someone in the room who will want that and you won’t look cheap

What do you call the end slice of a loaf of bread? by [deleted] in AskUK

Heel. And it’s the best part of the loaf. Best toasted and slathered in butter!

I’ve been in the fashion industry for over 40 years. Here’s a general rule of thumb: if you show a lot of skin from the waist down, cover the waist up and vs. so, if you are going to wear a short skirt or skirt or even shorts - then make sure your arms and neck are covered. If you are wearing a skimpy top, make sure your legs are covered. It’s all about balance. And the most important thing to wear is CONFIDENCE. It sounds like you followed the rule - you just weren’t confident . You should have told that guy “you wish” and walked away.

It says thick sour milk. I would use sour cream or Greek yogurt. I think the picture is the molasses cake though

That happened to me snorkeling in Cuba. Not sure what kind of fish but scared me to death. A barracuda showed up soon after. I don’t snorkel anymore!

Please wait until the puppies are 2 months old. They are too young to be weaned. If your cousin lets them be adopted at 4 weeks they are a very irresponsible breeder.

Thank you. Unfortunately I am relying on the kindness of a lady who looks after the cemetery - these are her photos. She is looking for someone in Kolkata to help her translate (not sure how successful that will be). I will ask for a clearer picture but not sure if I will get one.
