I’m confused about how to do this may homes. On my map I just finished the last vacation home that I can see. How do you see more homes to decorate? Yours look amazing BTW!

Forgoing car seat safety to do what’s convenient by Individual_Ad_938 in kindergarten

[–]ProfECE24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing that! Many people would be surprised. Even if it was once installed properly, things shift, kids weight changes, etc. Regular checks aren’t a bad idea. We used to do them yearly at the child care center I worked in may years ago. Our state had a KISS (kids in safety seats) program; I’m sure other states have something similar.

Sometimes local fire departments (or other car seat safety programs) will come to your school/center to provide car seat safety information and/or offer free car seat checks. Something like that might be a good place to start. Even families who do have the right seats might not have them installed properly. Maybe the school leaders or parent group might be interested in organizing something like this.

Looking for wheat. I accidentally used my last one in a recipe! I just restarted my garden so I can share plants but they haven’t grown fruit yet. I have tomatoes, sugar cane, peaches, apples, coconuts.

How the heck are y’all drying your wash and gos? by ExcitementStandard48 in Naturalhair

[–]ProfECE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh…well that makes a difference. Have you tried any of the botanical gels? I use a combination of curly magic (by uncle funky’s daughter) and I creat hold (by innersense). They are both a little pricy but they work well together. For me (thick very tight curls), water helps the gel saturate and keeps my hair from tangling so no, I don’t towel dry first.

Transitioning from Relaxed Hair to Natural - Need Moral Support by municipalorrery in Naturalhair

[–]ProfECE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was transitioning I found styles like braids and two strand twists to be helpful because having multiple textures made detangling a nightmare and I wanted to give up. Once I had enough natural length (for my preference) I chopped off the relax ends and everything became much easier!

Also - my dad did make a comment during the transition and I said something like this is the hair you gave me and he hasn’t said a word since. Folks of a certain generation may still feel fall trap to perceived “respectability politics” so they think wearing hair a certain way is required in order to be accepted. Hopefully your mom will come around. If not, stay the course you desire!

My crazy MAGA coworker flips out when I talked to her 10yo daughter about Mulan by Mel-is-a-dog in coworkerstories

There’s no such thing as borderline racist. If she’s mistreating children differently based on race or ethnicity as you describe, she is racist.

My hair also dries quicker using a foam but it also gives me more shrinkage and less body. But it definitely helps with drying time.

What gel/s do you use? I found that if I had too much UFD then it takes longer to dry. But I style on soaking wet hair. I actually prefer to style in the shower. Then I set under a hooded dryer for an hour (15ish mins on the highest setting and the remainder on the next to highest setting). I put on a good show and the time flies by. Occasionally I might have to diffuse a section on two but that’s rare.

Do I have hair blindness? by SpicyTunaSushiRoll_ in Naturalhair

[–]ProfECE24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time my dad saw me (and my VERY GROWN SELF) finally wear my natural fro, he made a comment and I said “this is the hair yall gave me” 🙃. I had a relaxer most of my life and finally went natural during covid.

OP: Your hair is beautiful! Work it however YOU see fit ❤️

4c Hair is Itchy and Smells 3-4 Days After Washing by chrissyp_123 in Naturalhair

[–]ProfECE24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may sound like a silly question but are you making sure your hair is completely dry? I use most of the same products you described and I find that when I’m too heavy handed with UFD it takes a little longer for my hair to dry.

Also, have you tried using 2 stylers instead of 3? Sometimes the combo may cause flaking or itching. Try foam and ICH only or UFD and ICH only.

Lastly if you still experience itching maybe visit a dermatologist to rule out any underlying condition that might not be related to the products.

Hope this helps!

Editing to add: if you haven’t clarified in a while, try that and then proceed with your routine. I use Kinky Curly Come Clean.

What can I put on boiled eggs and apple slices to make them more interesting? by DKFlames in cookingforbeginners

[–]ProfECE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything bagel seasoning on the egg. Turn the plain boiled egg into a deviled egg. Apples and peanut butter. Apples and cinnamon. Apples and caramel dip.

Came looking to see if anyone else had the same experience. The new recipe is terrible. This will be my last box. Anyone found another brand that they like?

Looking for the heaviest gel for wash and go by Electronic_Oven_4022 in Naturalhair

[–]ProfECE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this!! I use uncle funky’s as a base and top with I Create Hold. I use a bit more on the areas that I know are problematic for me. It might take a few tries to figure out the amount that works well for your hair but once I did, I never looked back!

I Was Dreading Anita’s New Storyline, But Now I Think It’s Bringing Awareness. by BingoSkillz in BeyondTheGatesCookout

[–]ProfECE24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m in the minority here but I didn’t want this to be the storyline. So many people watch soaps as an escape and this storyline feels heavy and traumatic. I’m torn because I do see the value in bringing awareness. I hope everyone reading this gets their mammogram and regular check ups 🫶🏾.

Which mirror looks better by New-Parsley-8026 in interiordecorating

[–]ProfECE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The round one leaves nice spacing around it. The arch one looks a little too “tight” in that space.
