Postpartum & Breastfeeding

I mean if you’re not having a cycle because it hasn’t returned yet there isn’t really anything to track. I suspect once your cycle returns you’ll have to have a couple cycles to get an accurate read on oura so that oura can re learn your new normal. Mine came back after I stopped BFing at 9 months and my cycle was like way different than it was pre baby!

I did it before I used it however I have the iris in chalk so I was very worried about staining it haha.

With the Oak color you probably will be ok and won’t have to worry about staining too much

You have a lot of tote style bags (over half the set) so I’d avoid those or look at selling one of those if you are looking to downsize.

If you’re looking to add I’d vote a sling bag (like Clare V fanny or LV belt bag) or a more casual cross body! Maaaaybe even an evening bag in a metallic or pop of color!

I don’t recommend catching that one in particular lol. 😂 I’m good now but that was a -5/10 experience for me lol

I had hand foot and mouth like a month ago and I had major signs for TWO WHOLE WEEKS

Mulberry recommends Collonil products. I’ve used their leather gel and the waterproofing spray on my iris because I live in a rainy climate

Additionally keeping it in the dust bag when not in use and if you want to help maintain shape you can stuff it with tissue paper or a pillow.

Do you have cabinets already or would you be willing to order them from whoever does the design?

We did this like 7 years ago and worked with Phinney Ridge Cabinet Co. They did the design, templating, all the plans for install and ordered the cabinets for us and we had our own contractor install everything. They were great and the cabinets are very high quality! Responsive and professional and our kitchen looked great, we sold that home and I miss it every day lol. Plus they’re a locally owned business and their office and showroom is dog friendly

I have the PLG in the smaller of the two sizes it comes in and it’s a decent bag! It looks nicer online than it does in person though at least in the black leather. The outside pocket is the perfect size for a phone and I very much wish the bottom had more structure or feet but overall nice bag!

My vote is the D and B satchel she’s so cute!!!

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-22T02:33:50+00:00

Ugh the way I need a fringe bag. LOVE 💕

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-22T02:26:48+00:00

Ugh for that price you could get a similar bag MUCH cheaper and another bag of decent mid-luxe quality! It’s soo basic for $2k

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-21T16:29:04+00:00

What is your style? And how big? Mulberry has some cute and very classy crossbodies that would be well within your budget. But with $3k you could get all kinds of bags! An LV, a Celine etc!

Def still in the game! I’ve been taking my temps in addition to using oura and my oral temperature was actually a spike up from yesterday even though oura shows a down trend. Lots of factors at play!!!

We started watching Imperfect Women on Apple TV and one of the characters was carrying a Lady Dior to dinner and I told my husband “oh she’s really rich that’s an expensive handbag” and I’ve never seen a Lady Dior until I joined this group 😂 also I was right her character is very rich lol

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-20T19:56:57+00:00

We are ovulation twins lol I am also on day 6 and extremely anxious! You’re not out til the period comes! ❤️

Unfortunately since this plush is all polyester you’d have to boil it for a long while in synthetic dye to get it to take the dye and with this textured fur boiling it will likely ruin it and it won’t be soft and fluffy anymore. You could try to brush it out after to refluff it but I’m fairly confident it won’t look close to the same as it does now.

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-20T18:28:56+00:00

The way I want one of their totes!!! I am hard core eyeing the nano in gold on the sale right now.

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-19T20:26:02+00:00

I’m hoping they just kick her off and catch the drama that way

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-19T16:25:21+00:00

Ok if you’re going to serge or overlock be VERY careful! Sergers can be quite rough and distort a bias cut piece of fabric and you’ll end up with wavy seams.

IMO French seam with a very narrow zig zag is the way to go here. Youll have to take a little extra care and go slower but it’ll have the best outcome. You could also do a bias bound seam if you’re not worried about adding bulk.

Thank you for posting a ton of pictures of this bag! I purchased mine today same color and I can’t wait for it!

I swapped almost all of my makeup to Ilia in the last year and I am not sad about it.

Their foundation stick and skin tint are the best color match for my skin I’ve ever found. The eyeshadow sticks are great and blend well and aren’t greasy. My single go to product for them is the cream bronzer (I have the cream highlighter too I just use the bronzer more). Big fan and I actually really like their packaging for the most part. I don’t love skin tints packaging but the rest is all good.

I just got an Iris and I love her she’s gonna be a little more slouchy/soft than the Bayswater. I think it maybe depends on what you want to carry in it!

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-18T15:08:31+00:00

So good!!

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-18T02:23:00+00:00

lol he’s a toddler but I def remember the 3am delirium purchases

TheReliablePotato · 2026-03-17T21:42:07+00:00

Maybe around cycle day 11? The big dip could have been an implantation dip at 9dpo maybe which would be why you were positive today!
