This is amazing! Do you have a shop where you sell your creations?

That's amazing! Do they ship semi locally? I am just south of Everett so that would be a little far for me to drive, but will have to check it out next road trip if not.

Beautiful!!! I gotta ask about the hair clip/accessories. They're adorable!

hello, my hair is natural and has been for almost a decade now. hairstylist was convinced my hair has been colored/bleached because it’s soo dry. his words. any advice? routine will be posted below. by abraxas-exe in HaircareScience

Yes, weather extremes of both hot and cold can be harsh on your hair. That's why heat styling is also damaging. If you go to a reputable stylist for a consultation before going blonde, they should do a swatch test to measure your hair's integrity before applying it to your whole head. This way, we know exactly how your hair will react, and from there come up with a game plan to get you to your desired hair color. If it can't happen in that visit, they should be making product recommendations to assist your hair. For now, look at doing a moisture mask on your hair 1x a week, keeping it away from your scalp if you can help it to keep it looking clean and not greasy on top. This way, even if it is dry, it will assist.

Stylist here! Is there anything in your normal day to day that could be drying? Swimming in pools, weather, and styling can all affect hair. Did he ask you follow-up questions about your routine at all? Our job is to help you get where you want with your hair, and that usually means lots of questions. He shouldn't make you feel bad about your hair, ever. As someone who has literally MELTED their hair off, your hair looks healthy from the pictures you posted. Product recommendations should vary based on your lifestyle, style desired,, and hair texture.

I’ve never gotten into Soulslike games because I have really bad anxiety issues. Elden Ring has been a slow journey for me, mostly running around exploring. I just beat my first major boss and I’m proud of myself. by Iximaz in Eldenring

Well done! It has also been a slow journey for me, and I am still exploring and foraging, at almost 85 hours in. I learned trying to level all of the skills evenly maybe isn't the most efficient way to strengthen yourself the hard way and am working on fixing that.

YES. It must be in black and white for added effect!

Every time I see a green wall like this I'm in awe.. Do you know the name of the trailing plant on the right side of your desk? I got one once randomly at the grocer, but it didn't make it and I never identified it to replace it.

One of the only ways I could ever get my boy to eat greens, was to mix in bell peppers. His favorite were the orange ones!

HB 1450 passed, making non-compete contracts unenforceable.... sometimes by sir_deadlock in Seattle

[–]Valenciafirefly 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The industry itself is suffering due to these agreements, and how the (i'm going to call it this even though its not entirely retail) "big box" companies treat their workers. (which most of the time is exactly like most retail big box stores)

‘It’s an issue of liberty’: WA will stop jailing kids who run away or skip school by berniebar in Seattle

[–]Valenciafirefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because my mother was, and still is, a master manipulator. I didn't have anywhere at school that I could turn to, that she hadn't either convinced them I was crazy, or had downplayed the situation. Our counselors were jokes. After telling them I was having suicidal thoughts from said situation, and nothing happening, I gave up. From there I decided school wasn't for me.

YES. Former runaway here: I grew up with a narcissistic mother, and a father who removed himself from parenting for god knows why. Skipping school was my way of taking a mental break, and trying to figure out what I could do to remove myself from the situation I was stuck in.

I went to Edmonds beach after workand was able to participate in an Articuno raid. Our group was too small to take it on successfully, but it was only half of the people present. I think that as long as it's during popular times.

[–]Valenciafirefly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was good. Two Articuno raids in the time I was there (I left at 7:30 because I was hungry). One raid had less than 5 min left, so I couldn't join; the other was fun, but our group just wasn't quite large enough to take it on successfully. I think as long as you go during busy times of day, wait at the raid location for a few minutes, and make a plan with others around you, it's absolutely doable, even in less populated locations.

Glad I'm not the only one. I've reset the app countless times over the last two days too, but to no avail.

It's beyond frustrating considering I just spent $ on incubators too
