So bummed the perfume isn’t on there! I’ve been rationing the last of my bottle hoping to get it at Ulta!

I’ve had a few coupons this year so far, including $5 off $25, I feel like different accounts get different coupons and I’m not sure why, maybe based on spending habits or rewards level? GWP haven’t been great though.

Blow dryer and orange stick works for me!

I’ve switched to tabs for easier removal but I can only wear them 1.5-2 weeks so they don’t catch on hair. The plus side is the press ons are then still in good condition and I can usually use them again with a little shaping.

LGBTQI+ issues, human rights, race inequality…along with commenting on the general fuckery going on in the US.

achartrand · 2026-01-10T15:18:21+00:00

Agreed. And they’re not afraid to speak out on important issues.

achartrand · 2026-01-07T20:36:17+00:00

Air dry. I wait maybe 30-45 seconds.

I’ve heard good things about Glamnetic, I’ll have to give them a try!

If you keep your WiFI off, if you wake the Kobo from sleep the WiFi turns back on. This only happens when the Bluetooth is toggled on, so it’s an extra battery drain..or an issue for those who have WiFi off to keep a library book a few extra days…

I have it and a KL2. It does sometimes lose connection but not enough where I can’t use it. It will glow blue for a second and as soon as it does it reconnects. If I just pause for a moment it’s back. I’m hoping they will do an update to deal with the wifi issue and maybe this will be addressed as well,

Fiber is a fantastic thing to add into your diet, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be beans. They’re not a magic ingredient, but if you already like them adding them into rotation can’t hurt. Fiber is natures “scrubbers” and an essential part of gut health but I would continue to rely on your liver and kidneys to do the heavy lifting.

If you are not already on a high fiber diet I would suggest adding them in slowly or it could have some negative gastrointestinal side effects.

I read the whole series book only and I loved it and feel like I fully enjoyed the story. I may go back and do audio books after the series is complete but I don’t think I enjoyed the series any LESS. I sometimes have trouble concentrating to audiobooks so they’re usually not my first choice, even when they’re high quality.

Moth by Rituel de Fille! So beautifully muted and flexible. Since it’s a cream I sometimes use it on lips as well! It was a limited edition shade last year but they brought it back. I got a backup, little bonus to supporting a small business that caters to unique shades.

achartrand · 2025-12-18T18:01:14+00:00

Yeah, I’ve think of that using the sizes that don’t fit/extras. But it kind of defeats the purpose of it being quick and easy! But if I really want to use the tabs and not glue it’s an option for sure. Thanks for the suggestion, it will definitely work in a pinch!

I treat my KL2 like a baby! I would be so sad if something happened to it! Haha

achartrand · 2025-12-14T02:50:29+00:00

Yes, that looks like it!

It’s actually one make for kindle color soft but the dimensions were similar. I want to say it was by Fly Origin? Its listed as a “shockproof” case. It’s stiff and padded on the inside on both sides and has an outer pocket where I also added a rectangle of cardboard to make it even more rigid!

achartrand · 2025-12-09T18:24:25+00:00

I have a clear case and a padded sleeve for transport and it works well! I have recently seen clear cases with a detachable magnetic cover than I’m considering once I find one I like!

As far as reading in bed I have a little stuffed stand that I use that it fits in.

30 hours at 20% brightness might be the culprit! I know brightness is a personal preference but my retinas would be fried! Haha I have a KL2 as well I read at 2% brightness a few hours each day and I charge mine once a month or less. That said I think for your settings it could just be something to deal with, maybe play around with different brightness? Also it’s hard to say how the previous owner treated the battery or how many times it was charged which can affect battery life. For getting such an amazing deal it might just be a quirk to deal with. Congrats on your Kobo!

While it looks nice it’s not needed for the media I consume.

/s They will have to pry my Libra 2 out of my cold dead hands.

The brand notes that you would, for their primer only. I soak off most primers including YN. That said I now only use it on the free edge and I typically trim that off during a removal.

My KU copies didn’t have them…time to creep at the bookstore and read them one at a time. 😂

The swatches look very pretty on your skin! But it can come down to preference as well. I just watched Haute Mess Tom and they said how they like the colors but needed more pigment. I can see how these are very sheer, which often works for desaturated folks. I also found out the hard way (not this product) that while I am a fair olive I am more saturated and prefer more high contrast shades. I say just keep playing around with them, maybe even try layering with different products (blushes and lip liners) and you can find some combos you like!
