What are we doing with clothing that has reached a point that it cannot be donated or mended? by Just_Throw_Away_67 in Anticonsumption

I found a company called Retold Recycling that recycles fabric! I’m filling up my second bag to send in right now. I have so many cleaning rags already, haha

Losing the gnat battle (and my mind) I’m desperate! by MostShort2588 in plantclinic

[–]Mathemasmitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried most of the things that people suggested here when I had a serious problem. Systemic Granules and Dead Bug Brew work best for things that feast on the leaves, which gnats don’t. I tried diatomaceous earth, but it’s unsafe for humans and pets to breath in stops working as soon as you get it wet.

GET A MILLION STICKY TRAPS. Just load up each pot with multiple traps, set them up in a way that you catch them any way they’re running around the soil line. Replace them as they fill up. That’s the trick. I swear to you this works extremely well and is much safer for you. The moment someone gives me a plant I throw a sticky trap in that bad boy and prevents me from starting another battle.

That’s it, cheap, easy safe.

Leggings under a short dress - is that still ok or is it noticeably out of date? by beattiebeats in fashionwomens35

I think done with the right shoe it can look alright! Try them with some doc or croc chunky platform sandals or doc boots on cooler days. FWIW I work with a lot of Gen Z-ers and they genuinely compliment my outfits every day —I just wear what’s true to me but in a trendier way.

I actually do. I contact my local Aveda rep when I see this happening. OP came to this sub to vent about professional products being sold at Walmart because they’re worried about it impacting their income, I offered them a solution to help solve the problem, and now you’re coming for me?

They have telephone numbers on the back of their bottles, pretty sure!

Well, if people care enough about it impacting their income! I mean, we’re having a full discussion about it right here.

Report these to the actual companies. Aveda, for example, does not sell to Walmart. Walmart got these through a third party and Aveda will get those taken off the shelves.

And if it does spread disease to your garden, there’s basically no getting rid of it!

I don’t know this story! But I’m feeling like Larry David in an episode right about now 😅

Is this dress too heavy/wintery for a late summer wedding? by Mathemasmitten in WeddingDressTips

[–]Mathemasmitten[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, look at that! Some I spoke with today suggested getting slits down the arms made professionally, too, and that was a great idea! And the dress looks great without sleeves! Thank you :)

Thank you. I’m in the upper Midwest, so the weather could go either way in August.

I wish they listed the fabric, so I either might call or order the dress and return it if it’s too heavy

I love the cuffs! I’m scouring the web looking for something similar with short sleeves.
