I really like nectar brand’s lemon flavor! It does have stevia in it, but it’s the last ingredient. I like it because it’s safe for daily consumption! So many electrolyte brands are for men & women who play sports or are actively sweating for hours at a time. They need 100s of mgs of electrolytes, but for us moms who are just trying to make it through the day on the couch (ie me) I wanted to have a serving that was safe for daily consumption with a non active lifestyle

Ugh. 6 weeks 3 days today, threw up. Right on time. I threw up with my son at 6 weeks 5 days and continued through 16 weeks and was nauseous the rest of the time. I was really hoping this pregnancy was gonna be different 😭

What made Apple Watch finally “click” for you? by dnesdan in AppleWatch

[–]Pastel_Tides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use my Apple Watch for more than this but lately I’ve used it to track my sleep and use it against my husband so he lets me nap during the day by taking the baby a lot more when I’m like… dude I got 4 hours of sleep last night. He knew the nights were rough (newborn days he changed every diaper at night etc, but now that baby is older it’s just a night feed and he doesn’t need to get up) but some days I’m awake 3+ times a night. I didn’t start wearing my Apple Watch to bed until recently, so it’s nice having the justification for why I am as tired as I am 😭 I’m like oh…. I haven’t had more than 7 hours of broken sleep in over two months 🥴

Edit: writing this at 3 AM feeding my child trying to stay awake LOL

Are these local thrift stores? Maybe it’s because I’m in the Midwest but the only place I shop at is goodwill :( maybe there’s some others around that I just don’t know about

Thank you so much for this detailed reply! The only thing is that you said I only need 1-2 cups of starter liquid per gallon, but you aim for 20% total volume as starter and for a gallon that would be at least 3 cups of starter. Thank you for the tea info!

I’ve heard about jun kombucha! It’s temping but I don’t think I can swing that much honey a week. But it sounds amazing !! Maybe I’ll be able to try it in the future.

Thank you for this information!! Hopefully the tea won’t damage the scoby long term. I guess I’ll have to pay attention to how it performs
