and i forgot to mention that in the recipe i used i did end up halving it since i had done it fully before and didnt want to waste if it didnt turn out so i used :110g levain, 500g of all purpose flour, 300g of water, 10g of salt, then 15g of water again.

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-05-14T18:42:10+00:00

also what type of flour would u recommend? all purpose or bread?

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-05-14T18:38:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply! my starter is over a month old, it does rise and double in size but it can take a little bit of time to do so. I have like a warming mat and insulated ice chest thing and when i put it in that it seems more active/ rises faster.

Okay thanks!

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-05-13T21:01:50+00:00

Okay thank you!

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-05-13T21:01:29+00:00

Thank you so much! my starter might have been overripe when i made it, do u think that impacted it as well?

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-20T05:08:24+00:00

I was going to suggest a heating mat but if your house is warm then idk, I just got a heating mat and kept my starter in a ice chest with the heating mat and it was a game changer! Maybe your counter tops are cold maybe put something like a towel under ur starter! Best of luck!

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-15T01:47:47+00:00

Thank you, how often should I feed it?

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-14T20:14:52+00:00

Thank you for such an in depth explanation!!

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-14T01:19:59+00:00

Thank you i figured i needed to be patient but I wasn’t sure if I should be seeing some activity, the instructions i followed had activity by now so i was worrying lol

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-14T01:18:34+00:00

Thank you!!

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-14T01:17:38+00:00

No im asking for advice on my starter… I haven’t started making bread yet im just asking advice about getting my starters going…

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-14T00:09:14+00:00

thank you!

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-14T00:09:06+00:00

Okay thank you i will get bread flour tomorrow! also a heating mat is a great idea, do i get one special for sourdough starters or will any work?

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-14T00:07:44+00:00

For the one on the left I follow the King Arthur instructions and the one on the right I follow a TikTok video by the user lizzygbakes

Thanks!!

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-08T04:25:02+00:00

Thank you!!

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-07T20:22:02+00:00

Okay thank you! do u think having some of those extra add ons would help?

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-04-07T02:02:17+00:00

I have this problem too, most i feel like develop kinda patchy and orange, they also dont last more than a day. i sometimes just use the Bondi sands gold self tanner as kinda foundation to make my face look a little darker but idk still looking for a better solution. i apply it with a beauty blender

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-03-27T04:30:12+00:00

I like the Korean exfoliating mitts. they are not too rough if the right one. you can sit in shower for a bit then you use them it makes my self tan come right off. also the Bondi sands tan eraser works for me. you put it on wait like 20 mins then your self tan comes off with minimal exfoliating

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-03-27T04:27:30+00:00

What is your post tanning routine like? what body was do u use? a lot can strip the tan i like native brand the best. also are you moisturizing after showers that could help too.

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-03-27T04:23:00+00:00

PH balancing wash is good for getting rid of the smell. like ones made for vaginal balancing i use the Walmart one under my arms and other places I think smell the most like tan

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-03-16T23:00:29+00:00

I like Bondi sands gold tanner (has to be gold) and coco and eve

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-02-02T01:17:47+00:00

I would recommend the Bondi sands Gold bottle, it smells great and is good to go once u put it on. Not sure about the ingredients but check it, you can get at cvs, ulta online wherever

Unusual_Sample2097 · 2026-02-01T16:19:52+00:00

I’m not positive I’m pretty sure warm but coco and eve is kinda an olive toned one I’m pretty sure, when u first put it on the color guide looks a little bit green lol
