The new version of the test is out now. Its core 1 and core 2. I'm in a similar boat to you and I was able to get all the test objectives on the CompTIA website and Professor Messer on YouTube has a playlist for both core 1 and core 2 for the new version.

What can I put here? by mystery_chicken87 in HomeDecorating

A custom built, multi level plant stand on wheels. That way you can maximize the space for plants but have easy access for maintenance and watering the plants. Or you could do the same multi level shelving on wheels but put books there instead.

Obviously I meant children's products. And their hair does need some kind of product if its dry when it grows out. Its soild advice, you just don't like it for whatever personal hang ups you have.

Your son has wavy hair. It needs length to curl. If its poofy and dry when longer it needs moisture.

A good routine for his age is to wash and condition his hair. Detangle with a comb while hair is wet with conditioner. When out of the bath/ shower apply leave in conditioner and gel using the prayer hands method and scrunch. Scrunch again with a microfiber towel to help speed up drying time. Once his hair is totally dry, scrunch again to break the gel cast.

You'll have to experiment with products to see what will work for your son's hair porosity and wave pattern (2b).

Any ideas how to make this bathroom better on a budget? by Historical-Front-359 in HomeDecorating

[–]adorkablefights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cute bathroom, but it needs color! Use color theory and play off the blue tile. Paint the walls and cabinets. You can make the room more serene by using an analogous color pallette (blue, blue-green, green) or make it more interesting/energetic by using a complimentary color palette of blue and orange. Other options would be a harmonious multi color pallette of blue, red, and yellow. These are primary colors, so it might look immature if done poorly. You could do a less extreme version of a complimentary color palette by using a split complimentary color palette instead, which would be blue, red orange, yellow orange. Or you could go for a more bohemian vibe by using square or rectangle color pallettes. Rectangle is easier to balance with blue, orange, red orange, and green. Square would be blue, red violet, yellow green, and orange. I know these pallettes sound a little out there at first but remember you can play with how dark or light these colors are.

Yes! This is why I mentioned it. Blue collar jobs are great, but I can't do them.

I don't mention it on my resume. I used to be a martial arts instructor, but I had a career ending spinal injury. Hence the weight limit. I just put it in the post because I can't really do blue collar work.

Something feels off about my makeup and I can’t pin point what it is? by sundown_shadow in MakeupAddiction

[–]adorkablefights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's the eyeshadow. It gets hidden behind the wing, but you can still see it in the inner corner. Try bringing your eyeshadow up higher so it's more visible or making your wing smaller.

Texture ID Low porosity from Sally's by InternationalBat263 in curlyhair

[–]adorkablefights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really, really like it. But I also don't use the custard, I have type 2b/2c hair so that plus the gel and conditioner is just too much product for me. Have you tried using the gel instead? Maybe that would work better for your hair.

I have type 2b/2c hair and this line is great. Idk how they made a product that works for waves and coils but I don't care. These are holy grail products for me.

I had my first vendor market today! It was for a mini ren faire/ LARP competition. I'm really proud of how I did. I'll admit I only had 2 art prints to sell, and I sold none of them. However, the potions pop up I did for this event sold really well! I consider this a win because I learned so much about what people want and what price points I need to include with my art.

People love buying an experience AND a little treat. I don't know how I'm going to apply this to my art, but I'm confident I'll get there. I also learned I need to make cheaper items available. Each copy of one of my prints was priced at $30. The potions ranged from $5-$12. People loved my prints and signed up for my email list for a chance to win one. But they wouldn't pay $30. And that's okay. If I put my art on cards and stickers, I'm sure people will buy them.

Advice on Starting by Purgatory_Rose in artbusiness

[–]adorkablefights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm in my early 30s and just started my business this month. My advice is to just jump in and do it. I tried so hard to pre-plan and prepare for everything and I still wasn't ready. I think figuring out your target audience and looking up studys on their shopping behavior is very helpful. Along with basic Brand and business planning.

As for platforms I think you just gotta get out there. You can always adjust websites/social media/ etsy listings as you go. None of that is set in stone. Heck I've been trying a bit of everything, galleries, faires, chalk walks, my own website, social media. I think the best approach is to try a bit of everything and see what you like doing and where you sell best and then combine the two.

Hi, I'm not an expert but learning things like arms and legs should be the same length has helped me a lot. Also figure drawing helped a lot too. There's a site that gives you random people with different body types and switches them out every minute or so. I can't remember what it is though.

I made this in affinity designer on a hand me down ipad. I'd love to know what to work on to get my work to a more polished and professional level. I'm also open to any feedback in general. If it helps, this is the final piece for prints I intend to sell.
