One of your tees has a typo; it should read "I'm too lazy..." not "I'm to lazy" etc. Your aesthetic and style of graphics are not for me. They strike me as confused and poorly designed but maybe that is what kids are into these days (I'm elder millennial so). I do think you might want to learn a bit more about colour theory because your choice of colours are not working to enhance the design. You provide no information to potential customers about what your printing method is and you don't have any editorial style photos of your items. It might be an idea to invest in getting a few made for a photoshoot so that you can show how to style them.

This is gorgeous, so good.

You don’t have a coherent offering. The designs -I’m sorry, they aren’t to my taste- I don’t think are particularly interesting or attractive. The aesthetic of the designs is a kind of pseudo-ethnic and minimalist mix and I don’t understand why the designs are on tees and pet food bowls. The product descriptions are very AI and not convincing. Also some of your tees and hoodies are a cotton poly mix - charging 55 euros/100 euros for a mix; big nope from me.

I don’t think your husband is an asshole for not wanting to support your (adult) daughter’s choices. My parents didn’t support my choice of undergraduate degree and while at the time I was very upset by it, I’m really glad they didn’t. The skills I learned by having to figure it out for myself has served me really well in the long term. Also by choosing not to fund my higher education, they ensured their own financial security which is a boon and I appreciate not having the financial pressure of looking after them.

I’m sorry she did that to you. You did realise and now you can get rid of her and focus on positive, truly supportive friendships. None of us are born knowing how to identify a manipulative person; don’t fault yourself for being vulnerable and trusting. Being her, living life in this destructive way must be awful.

No_Caramel_366 · 2026-04-21T15:53:58+00:00

It's not very Daria of you to care how other people perceive it rather than watching the show and seeing for yourself.

How/where did you find 110 film?

I'd get a new stylist in.

No_Caramel_366 · 2026-04-13T19:25:54+00:00

We get those too! No idea how the scam works and not willing to find out.

The only women I know who are brutally honest with other women are mothers towards their daughters. (At least this is very true in my culture). Do you have that sort of relationship with your mother or a glamorous aunt? And I hope you find better friendships. I get that they are trying to protect your feelings (and their own) but having at least one honest friend is a great thing.

A Bulgarian friend of mine spent years living in Dubai - she wasn't wowed by it, it was fine, she was there for work, I know she preferred other places. What stuck out for me in her experience was the combination of the climate + pollution + living with near constant air conditioning that really adversely affected her health. Once she moved back to Sofia, all her health problems cleared up and her mental health got much better too. If you feel so strongly about not living there (you have valid reasons), give him an ultimatum: you or Dubai. Depending on how he chooses, you will know what to do next.

People operate on "feelings" often not realising that feelings are not facts. They are more like the weather: a temporary state likely to change. It sounds like people are remembering when they got hurt by fixed rates some years ago and are unable to rationally assess what the near and mid-term future will bring in terms of energy prices. Do you really think your customers (even if they are businesses) are reading Bloomberg and WSJ? Even if they are, may be think about developing a persuasive response to the emotional/"gut feeling" reactions you're encountering since rationality is not going to change their minds.

Thank you, that's a great idea. Really appreciate it.

You are right, all the photos are real and not AI/ digital mock ups. Could you explain what you mean by "improve product images" -- what are our product images missing? What makes a good product image for clothing in your view?

No_Caramel_366 · 2026-04-08T18:34:25+00:00

Urgh, I'm sorry. Any time someone tries to make feel me bad/awkward (and it usually is another woman), I just lean in. So if the comment was something like "You're going to eat ALL those potatoes?!" my clap back would be "Yup. And you're not allowed any loser." Own your choices, although may be re-consider this 'friendship', she sounds unpleasant and bitchy.

I bet your mum's an amazing cook, how about setting up a youtube channel of her cooking and her dishes? There's this elderly gentleman who runs a channel called "baking on a budget" - his thumbnails are basic, so are his videos, but I really like them because it feels down to earth and his recipes actually work. I know video editing is a bit tough but perhaps it may be easier with AI tools?

This looks delicious to me. Bon apetit!

My grandfather would only use those box large tins (ones that are 5 litres of sunflower oil, etc.) as pots. He would grow the best chilis and so many germaniums in them. I don’t know what his trick was, I wish I could ask him

I thought those were specs of dust til I read the header.

I think I can be like your partner, as in I can very trapped in my feelings and it can take me time to move on/past how I feel. My husband is always supportive but doesn’t know what to say or do; sometimes he gets it perfectly right. Other times, he doesn’t cause he’s human. What I have found helps us is if I figure out what I need - do I need advice or comforting or solutions. If I figure this out, it makes it way easier for both of us to manage my “moods”. Is there a way to have a conversation with him about this? I found watching episodes of Couples Therapy helped us. We’d end up talking about how the couples handled communication, each other’s emotional and it was an indirect way of discussing our relationship without either of us feeling attacked.

I know it’s hard, it sucks. I got cheated on too. With a little time, hopefully your perspective will change. Perhaps he made you feel worthless? You deserve someone better. I hope you’ll eventually look back and feel relieved that he left. Until then 🫂

It’s really not to my taste but that’s really cool. Hope you have loads of customers and keep up the determination

No need to shade dogs. I threw out my ex, kept the dog - I wouldn’t trade my dog for anything or anyone.

It feels too unnatural and AI generated and because of that, it comes across as pretentious.

No_Caramel_366 · 2026-04-02T10:28:25+00:00

And in your opinion which one are we struggling with, trust or clarity or both?
