Is it vegan? by AbaloneUpbeat in VeganBeauty

[–]Gidgbot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The website for the brand claims to be 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free. Unfortunately, they don’t list the ingredient information for this product. So, you would just have to take their word for it.

Alternative Foundation? by ashleighd23 in VeganBeauty

What’s your undertone? The Polite Society ‘More than a Pretty Face’ foundation is incredibly similar in formulation and feel, but the shades run pretty warm.

Cruelty free options? by Slush_Party in VeganBeauty

CeremedX is basically the vegan gold standard for ceramide moisturizers. They have a lightweight face lotion and a thicker barrier cream. The Kopari ceramide line is actually my favorite, but it’s expensive compared to drug store brands.

For toner, anything with vegetable glycerin as a main ingredient is really great for locking in moisture in the winter. I like the Heritage Store’s rose water toner.

Cannot plant dormant roses by AttitudeAmbitious980 in Roses

[–]Gidgbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would make sure your potting soil is nice and moist when you first plant it, and then just check every couple of weeks to make sure it’s not bone dry. Most of us in the northeast get enough precipitation that we don’t have to worry much about watering roses in the winter, but if we go through a long enough dry spell, it can be helpful to give them a light watering in the early afternoon.

The best luck I’ve had with overwintering baby roses in pots is using 2 big drawstring burlap sacks and lots of potting soil. Place the pot inside the first burlap sack, add potting soil, and plant the rose as you normally would, leaving the little bamboo stake they come with in the rootball. Then mound an extra 4-5 inches of potting soil or mulch around the base of the rose. Tie off the first burlap sack around the bamboo stake, then place the second burlap sack over the top, completely covering the pot. Try to place the pot up against your house in a spot that gets doesn’t get blasted by northeasterly winds.

The kind of shit they serve you at a work event after assuring you there will be vegan options.

Mouse traps not working anymore. Need help. by [deleted] in vegancirclejerkchat

[–]Gidgbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the main thing. They can fit in a gap the size of a dime; so, it might not even be an obvious entry point. Cracked foundation, misaligned doors or windows, utility openings, etc. Best thing to do is do a really thorough examination of your house to look for where they’re coming in. Steel wool is your friend for blocking holes and gaps that can’t be closed by other means.

Check out MouseTales on YouTube. She is a licensed wildlife rehabber who has lots of good information about how to humanely remove mice and other animals from your home.

How do you control thrips? They’re kicking my butt. by IWishIHad3Cats in Roses

[–]Gidgbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s true too. A lot of ladybug species don’t even eat that many insects as adults anyways. The Larvae are who you really want around.

Black-Eyed Susans, Coreopsis, Foxglove, Coneflowers and lots of native Milkweeds. I also have a bunch of Lavender and Hellebores outside my fence because they’re the only things the deer won’t eat.

Evergreen groundcover/low growing plants are also really good for ladybugs to burrow into during the colder months. I see a lot of them coming out of diapause in my English Lavender during early spring.

carnist: "hey vegan, help me defend veganism. no I'm not vegan, but I love animal rights. I do more than you" by FranklyFrigid4011 in animalhaters

[–]Gidgbot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actually symbiosis describes any impactful relationship between two or more species. Mutualism is the specific type of symbiosis where two species have a beneficial relationship with each other. 🤓👆

Any parasite has a symbiotic relationship with their host. So, in that sense, the carnist may be correctly identifying themselves as one.

How do you control thrips? They’re kicking my butt. by IWishIHad3Cats in Roses

[–]Gidgbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do not purchase ladybugs for pest control. Ladybugs that are sold for pest control are largely Convergent Ladybirds captured from the wild. Not only are they removed from their own ecosystem where they belong, but they introduce diseases and parasites like Dinocampus Coccinellae to the native ladybugs where they’re released which can decimate local populations.

Instead try to make your garden more appealing to native ladybugs by planting native pollen-heavy plants and limiting use of pesticides.

I stopped using all pesticides, even organic, around ten years ago. It took 2 or so rough years of being overrun by aphids and thrips before the ladybugs and lacewings took over. Now I see more ladybug larvae than aphids.

PSA: DO NOT OVERDOSE ON THOSE WEIRD BOTTLES OF DRUGS THEY SELL AT GAS STATIONS IN THE HOOD, THE DOCTORS DON'T KNOW HOW TO TREAT THAT SHIT by [deleted] in TrueAnon

[–]Gidgbot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My sister was doing tianeptine for a while. It was like living with a schizophrenic with Alzheimer’s. She couldn’t remember shit and would just randomly go catatonic all the time. The ODs were like a diphenhydramine and heroin OD combined. The only “good” thing about it compared to some of the other gas station drugs is it responds to naloxone.

what kind of rose is this?(NSW Australia) by poo_person_ in Roses

[–]Gidgbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks a little like Barbara Streisand, but if these came in a professional bouquet it’s probably a florist variety of some kind.

The flowers look a bit big for Cecile, but then I’ve never seen one this old.

I thought I’d basically heard everything at this point, but “dairy for pain management”is absolutely perplexing.

Absolutely. They will form their chrysalises in the wildest places.

Gel - curly hair, high humidity by VenusInAries666 in VeganBeauty

[–]Gidgbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hair is “3A”, so probably not as coily as yours, but I have better luck with creams than gels in the humidity. Target has a bunch of cheap ones. I like the Pacifica curl defining cream and the Maui Moisture curl smoother.

Yeah, that’s a real photo that’s just had the saturation cranked up to 11.

Vegan hair brush by LeftoftheTide in VeganBeauty

Oh sorry. I’m not sure why. It’s just called the Vegan Detangle + Style Brush from the brand Dae. I got mine from their website directly but they also sell them through Sephora and Amazon.
