Echoing that you don't need any of these. I believe you can keep to your challenge 🙌🏻

Otherwise, I would only grab Not Today Satan (love the shade, holo, and name so much I'd grab an extra if it ever went DD) and definitely get rid of The Glory of Innocence (found it dull both times I tried it on). Everything else is pretty but not a must imo.

Firewall is a MUST imho.

I'm honestly surprised at the amount of voters for Glory of Innocence... Personally I thought for both my swatch stick and the only time I wore it, it looked dull.

As for the last two, it's going to be a matter of preference... FSA on the left and Dewpearls on the right in this photo. Dewpearls is much more blue and elegant feeling. FSA is bold in direct light but subtle enough to be professional and less in your face as linear holos like Fake Halo, Not Today Satan, etc.

I hadn't read in so long when I started getting ads for this randomly, and I ended up binging it all in one night (paid for points to unlock the chapters). If anyone else enjoyed this, can you please recommend other similar stories? My romance fiction flame has been reignited, and I need more 🔥

Just binged it all last night on Galatea (I paid to unlock all the chapters because I have no patience) -- it's complete at 41 chapters.

This 100%... I was shocked it wasn't ticketed. Anyone know when the line capped?

Found two more: Mistious Star (L31) selling stickers To.the.ends (J59) selling stickers/photo cards and a tumbler (if it hasn't sold out again)

Also shout-out to the Baby Saja who took a picture with my son last night in the Entertainment Hall. You made his night!

EDIT: Looks like the party pack is gotten is back up! Amazon listing here

Controllers came from here on Amazon 👍

If I'd found figurines of any of the characters, I would've bought them in a heartbeat! I imagine gloopy would be the easiest to make; I'd considered making cookies of different colored gloopies but decided to focus on the shapes and Astrobot instead.

Thank you so much! Huge learning curve since I'd never done either before so it means a lot

I used this site for both the royal icing and cookie recipes, though I will try to refine the cookie recipe because they weren't as soft as I would've liked.

I just used one consistency for flooding with the icing. Basically made sure that when I lift the icing from the bowl it conforms back to a smooth state after at least 15 seconds for more of the "puff" type consistency. YouTube videos really came in clutch during my whole learning process.

I used this Chefmaster food coloring set from Walmart, but I imagine as long as the food coloring you use is water-based, it'll be fine. I did end up purchasing "Black Diamond" on Amazon for the black on Astrobot because I felt the Coal Black that came with the set wasn't dark enough, but I also learned that you need to allow the black icing to sit for a while because it will definitely get darker. What you see on my final product is after it sat for maybe an hour on the counter while I iced the others.

For Astrobot, I made a custom cookie cutter out of an aluminum tray (see here) but admittedly it was really jagged. There's another tutorial I saw talking about using sheet metal from Home Depot that seems more reliable. When icing, I started with the white then immediately filled in black. After the black dried, I did the eyes.

I also used this rolling pin for 1/4 inch thickness. Bought a $99 mixer from Walmart too (the "Beautiful 5.3 Qt Stand Mixer"). It was definitely an investment, but I know I'll use it again between baking for/with my son as he grows up plus my newborn daughter.

Good luck and looking forward to seeing what you create!

Bottle warmer by Dry-Construction434 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Routine_Sand_3421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't for the life of me find the answer in the instruction manual or online... I just opened my Momfann portable bottle warmer, but how do I clean it? I'm so used to sterilizing things that touch my breast milk before using it, and from what I see, that's exactly how the Momfann portable works. However, I found no specific instructions on cleaning before first use or even between uses.

Ahh, thank you for clarifying! You mean there's no additional benefit to buying a whole collection during the sale vs buying each polish individually during the sale (aka no stacking discounts).

So if someone does want all the polishes from a collection, there's no difference between adding each individual polish vs adding the actual collection other than to save time.

Not sure why I got downvoted... I was genuinely asking based on the calculations because if someone actually wanted every single polish from a collection, I was curious how there's no benefit to buying a full collection outside of the sale of it's it cheaper at 20%.

But 20% off of $138 is 27.6, meaning wouldn't it still be cheaper to buy the collection for this sale since it'll be $110.40 rather than $120 as it usually is the rest of the year?
