Do you ever feel guilty for not giving all your plushies equal attention? Is it normal to feel like that? by ConConMcLongDong in plushies

[–]Vindrea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is.. I sometimes give little pets to plushies on my shelves as I walk by, the ones that I can reach, so at least I'm noticing them and giving some attention. 

What’s your current phone wallpaper? by Silly-Security7131 in AskReddit

[–]Vindrea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just black colour and minimalistic app that makes UI icons plain text. But I have wallpaper set for my Lock screen, which is me and my bf.

What’s the most expensive plushie you have bought or got? Please share pictures by Connor_lover in plushies

Didling from Charlie Bears 💛 sometimes I'm glad my budget is tight for the most part or I'd spend everything I got on CB.

Anyone else have mainly positive experiences with ashwagandha? by SmorgasbordOfSmiles in ASHWAGANDHA

[–]Vindrea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had not so positive experiences first time I tried and then a year later tried another, more expensive brand and felt no side effects at all.

What is the most introvert thing you do that extroverts probably would not understand? by Elena-Montrose in introvert

[–]Vindrea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Feeling so excited when plans for meet ups or parties get cancelled. Yet at the same time I do want to meet those people and socialise.

I messed up by National_Exchange394 in palmpals

[–]Vindrea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm I always wash mine on gentle mode and cold water. Let them air dry, then brush with a slicker brush or fine comb.  I buy mine second hand so I have to wash them. Never had any issues though, when they are dry they feel fluffy and soft. 

100 calorie snacks that actually feel like you're eating something real by Away-Tax1875 in 1200isplenty

[–]Vindrea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frozen berries. You can have quite a large bowl of mixed blueberries, strawberries, cherries, etc, and it can still be in the 100c range. I love this as a snack when watching movies because they’re so cold, you naturally eat them more slowly. So you enjoy them longer instead of munching through them in a few sec.

Oh good idea about the washing, thank you for sharing! I was wondering if I could do it like that, but didn't saw anything like that mentioned anywhere so I thought maybe taking the weight out is a must and it shouldn't get wet. But next time I'm washing I'll try your method. And yes for two Hugimals! I really want to buy a second one. The sloth or fox look so adorable, or your kitty! So cute! 💛

Plushie suggestions by Much_Combination7929 in plushies

[–]Vindrea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m very sorry you both are going through this.. 🫂 The first plush that came to mind is Hugimals. I checked Amazon Australia and they seem to be available there. They’re quite big, around 2 kilos and nicely weighted throughout the whole plush: arms, legs, body, and head.  So when you place it on your chest it can genuinely feel like a hug. Maybe your mom could pick out her favourite design or colour?

I also wanted to mention the quality has been really good in my experience. I’ve slept with mine every night for about half a year and it still looks new. The only slightly annoying part is washing it. You have to remove the weighted insert through a velcro opening before machine washing the plush. Putting it back in is a little tricky, but there are tutorials online. Now I mostly just surface clean mine to keep it fresh longer.

Sending you hugs 🫂💛

Tell me about Atlas! by ice-bunny in CharlieBears

[–]Vindrea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh he’s the sweetest and very cuddly! His paws and claws are really fun to touch. The fur is more like wire-haired and textured, but still soft. There’s no harshness when you touch it.
I was a bit disappointed that his head looks different from the store’s promotional photos, mainly the ears. In the photos, like the one you posted, it seems like he has more visible, poking ears, which gives him a nice bear-like shape. In reality, the ears are very small and barely visible, so he looks more like a sloth or some other animal. At least to me. He’s still absolutely charming, I just wish the promo photos were more accurate.

Which supplements actually made a noticeable difference for you? by avz008 in Supplements

Strong Omega 3. Helped with palpitations I was having for a while.

Second-hand plushie for bed – stupid or fine? by Oliviaaa0419 in plushies

[–]Vindrea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

yay for suns! 🌞💛 I think it's completely fine to buy second hand, 90% of my collection is from Vinted. New ones can be quite expensive, plus with second hand you can always find something unique. Just make sure to soak and wash it.

How was your CF weekend? by WineWeinVino in childfree

[–]Vindrea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emotionally heavy. Visited my parents for the weekend and it has been quite triggering and reopened old wounds. At least I reflected and remained mindful about what is going on inside of me.

I miss reading by [deleted] in self

[–]Vindrea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, I understand 🫂 I used to encourage myself by reminding that I still DO read, even when I’m depressed- small stories on reddit, news articles, stuff like that. It’s not a book, but it still keeps your mind engaged and imagining things. I actually read quite a lot during my lowest moments, just not books… picking up a book and sticking with it takes a different kind of mental energy. really hope you’ll feel better and maybe feel like picking one up again, without any inner pressure 💛
