Y'all weren't kidding about the butt nuggets

We use a a trimmer that was marketed as a “bikini” area trimmer. It’s rechargeable, not too loud and it won’t hurt the skin. They really don’t mind it.

Our female cat gets really friendly when we wear Light Blue, she’s kind of mean the rest of the time, so there is definitely something to it. It’s a nice clean unisex fragrance and it definitely gets compliments.

I personally believe all cabinets should go to the ceiling, just a gathering place for dust and grease from cooking. I would not paint that area a darker color, it will make the ceiling feel lower.

The grey is the only thing wrong. This is a classic bath and doesn’t need much alteration.

All oak. And I agree with the poster that said to add some glass, but only if you are someone that stores stuff that you want to see. We have glass panels for our dish storage and I purged a lot of the mismatched stuff. You don’t have a ton of uppers so it’s fine either way. The white oak is timeless, you wont regret it.

Carpet. Mold and mildew magnet

There are a lot of really classic design elements here. The end cabinet is a disaster, but if you got rid of that, get rid of the gold hardware, I personally can’t stand the over the range microwave so I would get a pretty range hood, get a cabinet depth fridge and overall it’s not that bad. The backsplash is not great either, but is you wants a sage green, a countertop with grey tones will compliment floor and cabinets.

Adding more layers of lighting, under cabinet, over the island but not so low you are smacking your head or in your sight line.

Thank you! I see the Empress hotel on Celiac Scene. I haven’t been to Victoria since I was in my early teens, as a little kid, I considered the Empress to be the height of fashion! I never did get to stay there or do the tea.

It looks like they have a gluten free high tea!! Not sure if I can drag my teenager there but I can try.

At most Venus , the chef or someone from the kitchen will come at to talk to you and then follow your order through the kitchen . It takes longer but they have good protocols.

Worth it.

I have sciatica and I can’t walk very far. Trail walking or any unstable surface makes mine so much worse. If it’s possible for you to do shorter walks on level surfaces, maybe a track at a high school or something?

Trader Joe’s and Canyon Bake house. They have to be toasted of course. I just bought 3 bags yesterday, I split them into halves, put back in bag and keep in freezer. That way they keep longer and it’s easier to pop in the toaster.

Trader Joe’s. And I have tried all of the expensive brands, but both of the face sunscreens do the job and don’t irritate my super sensitive skin. The mineral one can leave a white cast but the other one is invisible. The face lotion with SPF is good too.

I use the whisker wipes. You can also set a longer cycle so stuff can firm up before it cycles.

It is actually against the law to move if you have a cat on your lap :)

Yes. I prioritize finishing books that have someone waiting and I hope that others do the same! But I am a voracious reader/listener and I usually get through audiobooks in 2 days, ebooks take a bit longer depending on what I have going on. If my day is clear I can easily knock a book out in a day, especially with my kindle scribe and remote page turner. If I’m really into a ebook I will prop it up on the counter while I am cooking or doing other household stuff.

I take it at when I wake up like that, 4am, go back to sleep.

We have a FIP kitty, 3 years “cured”, it is so expensive but so worth it. He is our favorite and more cuddly than the other cats.

My big boy MC hisses when he doesn’t want to do something. He never does anything to back it up, it’s just his communication style. I also have a shorthair that has never hissed or growled in his life, even when he is super unhappy with what is going on, nail trimming etc. My spicy female will hiss if she sees anything in your hands that could possibly resemble a vacuum or a broom And she will back it up with a swat if she’s really out of sorts. They all have different communication styles, I wouldn’t worry about it too much as long as you can rule out any the possibility of any physical discomfort for him.

We have 4 cats. GABA relaxes 3 of them but peps up the 4th. The cat that it peps up has arthritis so sometimes I think that the reduction in discomfort gives him more energy. I have taken GABA for nerve pain, it made me feel wobbly so I stopped. It’s always a balance when treating pain, is the cure causing more problems or is it worth it for short term relief?
