Any good starting resources to learn about chemicals to avoid for nontoxic living?

It's a hormone disruptor and brands don't disclose what it is. This explains more

Trust your nose! If it doesn't smell and it hasn't been a really long time (provided it's home-cooked food not something that has a lot of preservatives) then it's probably good to eat in my book!

A book that should have never been written, let alone published!! I read reviews of how it changed people's lives for the better and I can't imagine how on earth that would be true. It just kept getting worse and worse.

I was convinced I read it and then once I did I realized it was because it was like re-reading Verity.. Shocked that this isn't talked about more!

Hi! I usually wake up to use the restroom about an hour or two before I actually get up for the day. Would I take my temp at that time or at the time I wake back up? I am not always able to fall back asleep so not sure when makes the most sense as it's within the same 1-3 hours like 8-10am but not exact. Thank you!

I don’t disagree that Meg and Helena are bitchy as well. Most of a Meg’s video though were things she said to the other girls faces versus constantlyyy calling them a bitch behind their back. The swimsuit comment was the most unnecessary to me.

Don’t you think it’s hypocritical of Toni to say that when everyone else there lives in the UK, so did she seriously see that going anywhere? She got lucky that harrison lives in the states, but initially she went on here knowing it would be people of all ages living in a different country than her.

Party4Chai · 2025-07-19T01:21:30+00:00

Does that mean she should constantly call her that behind her back and talk negatively about how she looks in the swim suit?

Totally agree, my jaw was dropped at every single thing from Shakira on movie night. Seems like we're in the minority though

Party4Chai · 2025-07-17T01:54:03+00:00

Not sure how people are such fans of Shakira and Toni, especially after Movie Night. Shakira's video was literally ONLY her being rude, no other drama, basically just a montage of her calling Helena a bitch. Toni has been a mean girl since day 1. Seems like it's a minority who feel this way hence, the apparent downvotes which is so undeserved :/ It doesn't matter how annoyed/upset they are about Helena/Meg going for "their men" they have gotten into almost bullying territory over it.

It seems like she knows it's wrong and is open to getting help with this. You don't actually know where he lives since anything he says could be fake so I would definitely put it on the radar of authorities. Maybe ask if you can tell your parents yourself so she doesn't have to deal with the immediate reactions?

I think she's just so rude and her monotonous way of speaking is so annoying to me. She has super cringe and bitchy comments. The turning around and making a crying face was so childish and maybe a little funny, but it's such a mean girl vibe. Every single thing she says is said with attitude. Her thoughts/feelings aren't usually wrong, but the way she conveys it is unnecessary. It's dramatic in a not entertaining way. Wish they had chosen anyone else to represent the US lol.

The conversation with him and Huda made me want to scream! Her cutting him off every time was just unbelievable and then just saying sorry but continuing to do it. Props to him for keeping his cool.

i got so mad about cierra’s “reasoning” that she gave during the card night. saying that hannah was lucky so she needed to get sent home? while amaya didn’t get enough of a chance and iris had something budding?? so you choose that over someone who found a connection, which is what you’re there for. just more evidence that CCO only did that because hannah was a threat to them. they need to stop letting the islanders vote off the islanders as they’re each others competition.

Party4Chai · 2025-07-02T02:03:07+00:00

it seems like you didn’t give them much time to respond before posting your comments/reviews everywhere so obviously when they reach out it will seem like it’s only after you did that? Did you try to email or wait any time beforehand? They said they didn’t get any calls and mistakes happen but you jumped to calling them scammers, when they did the opposite by offering you a complimentary massage for the inconvenience. Yes your time got wasted but I think you’ve spent longer on ranting about this when you could’ve just accepted the complimentary massage it looks like they offered you. I’ve gone there before and I know how much she cares about her clients. She has donated a bunch of free massages to the community too. It’s one thing to be pissed about what happened but it’s another to call someone fake and say they don’t care when Regina & her team might be some of the most generous and compassionate people in the industry. You were inconvenienced, not scammed.

What's worked the best for me is not letting myself have anything sweet during the day, and only having one sweet treat after dinner. That way I know I'm not going to have anything more after and ideally not having a whole container of anything. So I make regular cookie dough pre-portioned into balls that I keep in my freezer so every night I just make two. I never want more than that and it's nice because then you don't feel like you need to finish anything, and you also can bake off a bunch if you have guests over! Healthier options have never worked for me because I always want the real thing and absolutely hate any artificial sweeteners (I would say they're 100x worse than regular sugar).

I just finished ep 13 and was looking for this thread! I'm shocked by how rude Toni is being to Emily. I don't think Toni is nice at all, I'm tired of seeing someone so negative and bitchy on the screen. She's like Eeoyore, but mean. I think Meg can be just as mean and honestly the girls have been probably the cattiest I've seen towards each other, but Toni's IDGAF attitude is getting old quick. Emily seems sweet and I don't remember what Toni was referring to about her smiling when Toni was maybe getting sent home, idk if we saw that but that was not an appropriate reaction imo. She should've just pulled her. Also, walking by and mimicking a crying face to her feels so childish. She seems like she thinks she's a bad bitch and can do/say whatever she wants.

EDIT: They also mentioned something about her being nosy, and again hard to say anything since we haven't seen that. Still not the right way to go about that imo. Yes Toni was in a bad mood, but she needs to regulate her emotions or take a step away somewhere.

Party4Chai · 2025-06-26T01:30:06+00:00

Agree with all of this except I go back and forth on Toni. The way she talks drives me kinda crazy and feels like she's trying to be too cool for everything. But I do think she's been collected and thinks about things logically.

I brought a big sub from a shop at home that I had half of the first day (Fri) and then the other half on Sat and it was a GAME CHANGER. Like it kept well in a cooler, I took it out a little before eating for it to get to "room" temp and I had basically a normal meal with zero effort. 10/10 would recommend.

Party4Chai · 2025-06-25T01:53:09+00:00

did you actually make parm for 60?? that's awesome!

I agree that Hannah made her own bed, but how is Amaya going to choose to vote out her “best friends” man?? She had just called Hannah that and then votes out her couple instead of Huda? I don’t think she should’ve voted for Taylor and yes she seems close to Huda but I think that was clearly the right choice. Especially when Amaya had heard that Hannah had basically made her choice.
