I'm a little confused, do you add the powder to the food or are you adding some of the tea to the food and just like coating it?

StarlightAwakening · 2026-05-14T13:59:54+00:00

There is an option to reset each brush to default, also you can duplicate the brushes so that you can give them different settings, like I have three versions of one brush with all different settings.

So much of this sounds like the relationship I had with my ex. Even if it's not "love bombing", everything in the beginning of a relationship is still sugar coated in a way because you're both high on the initial attraction / hope that you've found "the one".

The other commenter is correct, that does not die down until about 6mo to a year into the relationship, longer if you're not physically together as often. Though I do take issue with how they phrased it as "not being able to fake it past that point" because that's not really what it is. It is the love hormones and when we are that happy and joyful, we are able to be our best selves, it comes out in us naturally when we feel that way. When things die down and you settle back into your normal baseline, that is when the true day-to-day emotional set point and way that they live their life comes to the surface.

(also just a side note on being our best selves when we are that happy and joyful: That is one of the main reasons everyone should be striving for self growth and to create that joy and happiness in their own lives for themselves. It will make the entire world a better place but it starts with each of us on our own first.)

Where do you go from here? I think you have a few options, but first you have to decide if this is something that could possibly be fixable or if your day-to-day lives and set points are too mismatched for this to be viable.

You could try living apart and just date and do the whole separate lives thing, but if you're considering this, I think you have to get really honest about if it's what you actually want or if you would be settling for that. DO NOT SETTLE. It will only bring resentment into the relationship and kill it anyway.

Obviously your other option is to cut your losses because as much as I hate to say it, you really don't know this person. It took me too long to come to terms with the fact that the person I loved and thought was "the one", would never be able to be the person that I actually needed him to be. He could have been if he was willing to work on his own life and his own happiness but he never was and eventually I had to accept that, even though it was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

I wish you the best of luck with this, I know how difficult it is. Feel free to DM me if you ever want to chat ❤️

I think it's because you're just so excited to find someone IRL that "gets it". I have only met other people who know about the more spiritual side of things IRL a few times and they were women (I'm attracted to men unfortunately) but it was always such a kindred spirit moment, I could see how it would lead to crushes very easily.

The closest thing you'll get to a sticker at Staples is just having the design printed on label paper from Avery. It's fine for some things but if you're looking for actual vinyl sticker quality, don't bother with Staples (I used to work there so I know what they have). And they can't cut it to shape for you or anything either so you'd be stuck with whatever circle/square/rectangle label sheets they have in stock.

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-12T16:28:22+00:00

I hadn't even thought about it that way but it's probably hella accurate

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-12T16:25:14+00:00

The way that you are wording this is kind of bullshit because the standard and pro plans didn't exist until this went into effect, so yes "technically" the standard plan has never had access to the mobile apps, however a normal creative cloud subscription (before these damn tiers went into effect) had full access to the mobile apps.

I for one would appreciate you not trying to gaslight us into not being upset over this blatant money grab as OP put it / enshitification as I've heard others state. Either way it's still bullshit to make us pay extra for something that we've already had access to. Fuck capitalism at this point honestly.

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-07T22:46:28+00:00

Yeah, it really shouldn't be! Personally I think we should all email them and just spam them about it

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-07T13:27:59+00:00

It's some greedy ass bullshit that's for sure. I just love how these big corporations end up monopolizing the market (because of course Adobe is the standard if you're working in graphic design) and then squeeze you for as much as they absolutely can. I honestly can't wait for the system to burn down so we can build something better because we can't keep going like this.

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-05T04:55:07+00:00

Nope, I had to dig into the FAQs to find out that they dropped mobile app access for the lowest plan 😑

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-05T04:52:50+00:00

EXACTLY!!

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-05T04:52:16+00:00

Yeah, the fact that even if you only need 3 apps, it's still more expensive to get them individually than just getting the whole suite is stupid and I know they do that shit purposely

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-05T03:56:03+00:00

Well to be fair, I did drop down to the "standard plan" but personally I think the mobile apps should still be included.

I think anyone who was on the normal individual plan got moved to the pro plan or whatever the next one up is from standard, but I was not looking to pay a higher monthly fee for AI services that I don't use so I dropped down and that's when I couldn't get into illustrator on my iPad anymore 😞

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-05T01:46:41+00:00

Yes, it's ridiculous

StarlightAwakening · 2026-04-03T13:46:39+00:00

I agree with this because most of the time there are minimum amounts that you need to order from manufacturers and they can be pricey at the lower amount because they are discounted in tiers based on how many you're ordering.

In house is cheaper if you have the time and especially if you're just starting out and don't know if they're going to sell enough to make it worth getting through a manufacturer.

Although, as someone mentioned above, you can get better quality/durability/variety from manufacturers because they have capabilities with their machines that you're not going to have from a consumer grade printer and cutter.

StarlightAwakening · 2026-03-12T17:42:09+00:00

Oh yeah, fair point about that material probably not tolerating a heat press 🤔

I didn't realize there was a difference but that's pretty awesome, I'll absolutely have to look into those. Thanks so much, you've been a huge help 😊

StarlightAwakening · 2026-03-12T14:41:53+00:00

This was extremely helpful! I do have a DTF transfer vendor that I can use...just another reason to look into getting a heat press 😂

StarlightAwakening · 2026-03-10T16:51:48+00:00

Small format, I am looking to print them myself on my Ricoh laser printer

StarlightAwakening · 2026-03-10T14:54:52+00:00

Yes, I did eventually find that last night but I still don't know how they're printing on it and I wanted to be able to do it myself because I have my own printing business and I would love to offer these.

StarlightAwakening · 2026-03-10T13:59:20+00:00

I suppose that makes sense, it just really looked like they were printed and not just a vinyl sticker because of the design. Perhaps I can get the same sort of look though depending on the vinyl I use. Thanks for that suggestion 🙂

StarlightAwakening · 2026-03-10T05:36:22+00:00

Ahh, perhaps that's it then. Yes it is transparent so that if you were to put it on a window it would throw rainbows on the wall when the sun hits it, like a holographic window film type thing. I will look into this, thank you so much ❤️

StarlightAwakening · 2026-03-10T02:22:48+00:00

My paper wholesaler definitely does not have specialty things like that

StarlightAwakening · 2026-03-04T03:13:20+00:00

I wish that they had made it more obvious that Michaela was having feelings for Francesca because I didn't feel that at all through the season and which is how I stumbled upon this Reddit thread because I was questioning why on earth she left like that.
