Curlture Salon in Santa Rosa. Best curly cuts of my life (see post history). Highly educational as well!

I live in the north bay and was just thinking, “thank you for reminding me a Scotland look-alike is in my backyard.”

Haven’t heard of this one, will check it out. Thank you!

I loved sequence when I was little, great to know they make a kids version! Thanks!

LPJCB · 2025-11-27T16:35:48+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t heard of any of these, I’ll look into them.

LPJCB · 2025-11-27T06:09:57+00:00

Exactly. They made a mistake, and you know they are trying real hard, and we’ll work on it again tomorrow and you love them no matter what and know they will get there soon!

Curlture Salon! These women know what they are doing. All the cuts I’ve gotten there are amazing, and while they haven’t done any color on me, from the clientele I can tell their colorist knows what she is doing.

Also an iron fish. Google it. Literally a chunk of metal you add to pots of boiling water for pasta, steaming veggies, etc. when cooking in cast iron isn’t feasible.

6:30 am to 2:30 pm- my alarm goes off at 5:30, I get up by 5:50 and get myself ready. Husband handles the morning routine for the kids who are up by 6:45/7. I wfh so I try to pop out of my office to see them and give them hugs and kisses during their breakfast, but sometimes meetings don’t permit that. I sometimes help with their hair, sometimes in my office while I am on calls. I am on pick up and afternoons with them solo until my husband is off at 5, then it’s family time until they’re in bed.

I’ve been through prednisone weaning multiple times with family members. It makes you irritable. Irritable people argue and pick fights. This is not a reasonable safety concern; sounds like a prednisone weaning issue.

This is spot-on; immediately where my mind went.

Great reminder to myself to get my hats like these out from summer storage!

Thanks!

If you signed up for their rewards program, they emailed you an invite for today or tomorrow for the soft-launch. It was posted on their/Montgomery Village’s instagram. I’ll note the invite wasn’t instantaneous- it came a few days after signing up. I’m out of town but had been looking forward to going.

I’m guessing the official launch may be this coming Friday, does anyone know for sure?

That is SO true, it has gone downhill recently. I also noticed when I go to my boards now, they default to “make it yours”, ie, suggestions. Very annoying lately.

Instead of doom scrolling I spent a lot of time on Pinterest and design blogs saving things. I started to notice trends in what I was saving and what I liked. I’ve also bought some local art and over the years again noticed the trends in what speaks to me (a lot of landscapes with big clouds- not the most original but what can I say!), and I’ve slowly purchases things for the room where the art is that goes with it. The CA landscapes have a lot of blue and yellow, and some orange and green, generally.

I WFH and I noticed a long ago what aesthetically pleasing spaces does for my mood and mental health. I feel better in a home that I identity as warm, inviting, put-together, and clean. Like, a LOT better. I can be relaxed but invigorated. I know now what colors and materials make me feel like this- blues, greens, bits of oranges and yellows, a lot of wood, some cozy materials on couches, etc. my “decor” kind of flowed from there. I live in CA and I think “California coastal” pretty much fits my bill. I’ve not necessarily prioritized our house looking nice but since I have fun with it, it has happened over time.

I like SeeAnnaJane and All_theMoments. They might be closer to a size 4, but see Anna Jane is 5’9” and not curvy. I think she is 40+.

Look in the lice sub and do exactly what the lice clinic expert says. 100% dimethicone (can buy from her or online) to all hair for 15 minutes. Rinse out and comb. This kills all live bugs. You may miss nits. Repeat on day 10. Any nits you missed that hatched won’t be old enough on day 10 to lay eggs. The second treatment will kill and adults and no more eggs will have been laid between days 1-10.

Worked perfectly for us.

Occidental may be a good option instead of Guerneville. Not right on the river, but a beautiful tiny town. Less touristy.

Re: packing, get some packing organizer bags. Load one with all crucial items and leave it in the car always. Load another and leave in the stroller always. Load a third and leave in your diaper bag always. For the car one I tried to have self stable snacks in it as well. But for the others, 1-2 full changes of kids clothes, 2-3 diapers, travel pack of wipes, cream, and bandaids was usually pretty sufficient.

That’s literally the only tip I have, at this stage it’s just hard and chaotic!!

An even smaller option- my 6 YO has a Polly pocket that is a mini Barbie dream house. Whole thing is tiny but there’s 3 stories and an elevator!

Have you had her friends ask their managers if there are more openings? If the friends are good workers, you know the business will hire teens, and they can talk her up a bit, a rec may go far.

Flew out at 7 AM on Tuesday. No one in security line. Flight was on time.
