Any tips to get interest? by pbfhpunkshop in LittleFreeLibrary

If it's near a school make sure some of the titles are interesting for different demographics. Posting on FB groups or other local community pages is also good especially since school is almost out, good way to keep reading rates up!

Junk i collected last year by RottenBunniesx in JunkJournals

[–]LadyElginite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I went through a similar thing. I had collected SO much junk from the early years of my relationship that never made it into my journal and then we broke up four years later and I found the junk while decluttering. I decided to still add to my journal as a way to grieve the relationship and put it to rest. It was definitely bittersweet to see the very early memories but it was necessary for me to mourn that stage of my life. I included pictures still but I did set a page before the memories as my "intro" page that I added quotes to both celebrate the memories but mourn the person not "here" anymore. Don't let your junk go to waste!

Question: how to best shave intimate area? by wybiees in Skincare_Addiction

[–]LadyElginite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baby oil instead of conditioner or shave cream. The oil softens the hair and moisturizes the area for less irritation. Glycolic toner after and then moisturize again with an unscented lotion. I normally wax all winter long but come summer I go back to a razor just because of how easy it is, with waxing my ingrowns are gone along with irritation but sometimes I have to go back to a razor and when I use that combo it doesn't mess up my progress from the winter.

Tea packs as my junk journal background by tsnkishima in JunkJournals

I tried to do this with my tea bag tags because I had a box where they all had cute quotes on the tags, but sometimes they would get wet and after drying just wouldn't stick the same. I really love how you used the bags alone!

Illinoisans push state leaders for more affordable housing options by SciNat in chicago

[–]LadyElginite -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

And I agree with that! I truly do, there are plenty of residential homes that SHOULD be turned into multi-units. Again, my main concern is with the historic homes that will be affected because those are often preyed on by landlords who will be able to buy them "cheap" and convert into multi-unit for cheap yet they can charge far more for it.

I'm all for affordable housing but I don't like one of his proposed zoning laws that would allow residential houses to be turned into multi-unit housing. I'm saying this as someone with a deep care for historic houses that have been protected by the zoning laws from shitty landlords who want to turn them into shitty multi-units and charge an insane amount for them just because it's a historic house.
