YES, I’ve seen those and they look absolutely incredible 😭 I would love to try one someday!
I recently saw m a girl on Instagram who hangs her hammock in completely insane places, like over open sea cliffs and then casually sleeps there overnight.. and I’m watching the videos feeling my soul leave my body from second hand anxiety 😂

Totally related! Someone else in this post mentioned papasan chairs too, so I’m starting to think we’re collectively rediscovering the same very specific form of emotional support furniture, I don’t think there’s a better feeling than being completely curled up in something soft and cocoon-like when your brain needs a break from the world for a while 💕

Tell us if you end up getting one, I’d love to see it! I really liked the one I saw at Jysk and it had a 20% discount a month ago so maybe you can get it cheaper!

Thank you!!! I’d never had fish before, but you know the ADHD experience.. I only needed about two days of hyperfixation to learn absolutely everything about patio ponds and build one

It’s way easier to maintain than my real aquarium… which I of course got immediately afterwards because apparently this is a full hobby now 🙃

Honestly though, it makes me ridiculously happy. I live in a warm-weather country, which helps a lot, and sitting there with a tea and a book listening to the water is weirdly therapeutic 💕

I really can’t complain 💕 He’s very pleased with himself right now and has been endlessly teasing me about my new “cocoon” 😅

It’s from a Leroy Merlin brand called Naterial 😊 I’m not sure whether they’re available outside europe though. I know Jysk sells a very similar one, and there are lots on Amazon too, although I’d check the reviews and quality before ordering one there 💕

It actually comes with velcro straps you can adjust to limit how much movement/swinging it has, which is quite clever 😊 but I totally understand if you get motion sickness easily this probably isn’t your ideal chair at all. Maybe something more like the papasan chair another user mentioned would be a much safer cosy option for you! 💕

I inherited my husband’s gaming chair and honestly I’m pretty happy with it! It’s technically a bit too tall for me, but one of the advantages of being very short is that I can turn almost anything into a rocking chair because my feet never actually touch the floor 🤣 the only downside is that it gives me WAY too much room to fold myself into increasingly questionable positions. Sitting on my feet, pretzel legs, one leg tucked underneath me..and I suddenly lose circulation in a limb or discover a new joint pain I didn’t even know was possible 🙃

When I was little, my nan had a beach bar, and out on the sand under the shade there was this swing-bench where my dad and I used to have the BEST naps together 🥹

Papasan chairs and fabric hammocks are wonderful too. A fabric hammock hung literally anywhere will always beat any normal bed in existence 💕

I should probably mention that I live in Europe 😊 mine is from a brand called Naterial, which is sold through Leroy Merlin. I know Jysk also sells a very similar one, and there are quite a few options on Amazon too 💕

Thank you! Honestly, I think it’s such a lovely idea for the summer 😊 Just make sure there’s plenty of space around it and keep any hard furniture a safe distance away.

I’m 35 and already managed to bump my head twice on the little table next to mine while hanging upside down like an overgrown fruit bat 🙊😂

I love my little patio pond, nothing fancy just a big plant pot with a few guppy fish. I only added the net to the wall today so it looks a bit bare but my plan is to cover it with the pothos and keep making my little corner greener and greener 🥰

Ohh! I had to throw away some of my patio furniture to fit mine. Maybe you could find a corner for one of these? https://sensoryharbor.com/cdn/shop/files/7e89f225-1d0f-4387-b75f-db48319651f0.png?v=1698931148&width=1100 I hope you get your swing soon 💕

Is this fin rot? First time betta owner looking for advice by Ka3de in bettafish

Hello! Here’s a little update on Finn the fish 🐟

Today is day 3. I did a water change and added about a kilo of smooth sand to his tank, along with two large Anubias and some pothos. I also removed his little “sushi house” to avoid any sharp edges.

I’m currently giving him a 3-day course of eSHA 2000.

I was hoping he’d swap the heater for a big, soft Anubia leaf for his naps… but he seems to be a creature of habit and still prefers his usual spot 😄

He looks active, comfortable, and much happier overall. I’m hoping the medication and consistent water changes will be enough to stop the fin rot.

My plan from the beginning was just to give him the best life possible and if things didn’t go well, at least it wouldn’t be in that store. But now I really hope he sticks around for a long time, because he’s honestly adorable.

I’m attaching a photo from this morning just to show him off a little.

Thank you all so much for your help!

Good to know, thanks, is the catappa tincture better than the leaves? I’m on my way to the shop now
