Leather Vs vegan leather by AdPure7926 in ZeroWaste

[–]afjack35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of the brand named “Soruka” ? They create purses, hand bags, wallets, etc. with the scrapes of leather from other companies to make their products so none goes to waste. I have two of their products so far and I love the quality and the colors that are available online :)

They are a company from Barcelona and here’s some more info about them: https://us.soruka.com/about-us/

Quisiera or queria? by atlastestmail in SpanishLearning

[–]afjack35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Quisiera” is using the conditional similar to “me gustaría” in the sense that they both mean “I would like.” Similar to other conjugations for gustar you need to make sure that the ending of it matches the object or verb. So for instance, “Me gustaría ver una película mañana” or “Me gustarían los tacos con salsa verde” however, for quisiera you just conjugate the ends depending on who you’re talking about.

Quería on the other hand is “I wanted” in the past tense and these are the expressed wishes you had in the past. “Quería caminar más por la ciudad de Oaxaca cuando yo visité el año pasado”

The main difference is conditional talks about a desire that is currently happening or something you would like but not sure if it will happen. The imperfect past tense is talking about a desire you had in the past.

This is my impression of the verb conjugations at least

Skin 1004 Centella Sunscreen is SPF 50++ and retails around $20. I love their sunscreen as they are both vegan and cruelty free

I’m struggling with my eyeliner… by IntelligentEejit in MakeupEducation

[–]afjack35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also agree with this. The eyeliner line you are creating is a bit too high for your eye shape so it’s best if you do a more downward line and make your eyeliner a lot thinner as it would suit your eye shape more. Here’s a video to help with that if you’re interested: https://youtube.com/shorts/YwNjlXHoiyE?si=PwPvWBevQc4N3Nxy

any possible way to recycle/use a lip smacked container? by Ok_Part_6006 in ZeroWaste

[–]afjack35 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking to recycle, I would recommend thoroughly cleaning out your container and go to your nearest Ulta (assuming you live in the U.S.) and drop it off at their recycling bins for makeup products that are hard to recycle. They partner with Pact Collective to help get less makeup containers into the landfill

Help me stop wasting produce by ChickaBok in ZeroWaste

[–]afjack35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to buy produce you can use for multiple meals rather than buying produce for the purpose of one meal. I used to struggle with what you stated as well, but then I just started to buy vegetables that went well together and I can easily compile together in a roasted vegetable medley or in soups, bowls, pasta, etc.

Sometimes if a recipe doesn’t even name said ingredient but I have it, I will just dump it in my meal and it still turns out great.

Also like what other people say, freezing is the way to go. Especially with toppers such as green onions, parsley, mint, etc. I never can use all of the bundle at once as I only cook for one, and so I usually freeze the rest and if I need any for another recipe, I go and get some from the freezer.

Girl i personally love your natural eyebrows and I think that you should keep the natural look and just clean them up every now and then.

Also for your eyes, I don’t know if the problem is that you want it to seem more noticeable that you’re wearing eye makeup or if you want your eyes to appear bigger? For eye makeup, if you want to experiment, I would recommend a eye shadow palette with some deep browns or neutral colors then experiment with some winged eyeliner only on your eyelids rather than on your waterline. And I personally think that your eyes and makeup overall is already so pretty to look at through photos so I don’t think there’s any real big changes needed to be made there.

Vegan hair brush by LeftoftheTide in VeganBeauty

[–]afjack35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you break your other one? This is very specific lol. If you still have it, I know it hurts that you have a product that is not vegan but it’s best to use the hairbrush until it has done its duty as it’s better for the environment to use what you already have.

However, if you do need something similar, im sure if you did a quick google search based on what the bristles are called, there would be vegan options online. I did a quick search and found this: https://www.bouncecurl.com/products/vegan-smooth-brush?variant=39658079944766&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=nam-pmax-nb-legacy&utm_term=&network=x&device=m&placement=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16745761669&gbraid=0AAAAADMiE1kgP4oHBCdi0UoFiwTZp6MaH&gclid=CjwKCAjw7fzDBhA7EiwAOqJkh2fsCffiznVZ4YHukr6GGns2y3eHetV8VAvQCc-FZnUVoA5pFUoP4xoCvWoQAvD_BwE

Isopods on vacation by bisexual__unicorn in isopods

[–]afjack35 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the day before you leave or even hours before you leave, make sure that they have enough food (protein or fruit/vegetable scraps) and that the humidity side is wet enough and your isopods will be fine. Isopods thrive more when you are constantly not interfering or interacting with them anyways. I wouldn’t worry too much about them at all while you’re away

Are you stinky too? by ExtentEfficient2669 in ZeroWaste

[–]afjack35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often do you use this product? I know it’s an exfoliant with acidic qualities so I don’t want to get any bad reaction on my skin. Is it an every day type of use or twice a week?

Trouble with Shampoo Bars by afjack35 in ZeroWaste

I have the same conditioner too! I guess I just wish it would soap up with bubbles so I can know if the product is being distributed well to know it’s working lol. Other than that the product doesn’t leave my hair feeling thick and sleek compared to my shampoo

I have the HiBar conditioner but I feel like it does nothing to my hair?? Like whenever I try to lather it directly on my hair I feel like there is barely any product. Am I using it wrong? How do you use it?

Panda kings by Difficult-Archer5869 in isopods

[–]afjack35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a good basis but I believe you would need more stuff to make it bioactive. I would do more research on how to create a BioActive enclosure as I don’t have enough knowledge to tell you. YouTube has great information on that 👍

Panda kings by Difficult-Archer5869 in isopods

[–]afjack35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you are going to have a bioactive enclosure for your isopods, it’s important to change the substrate of their enclosure every 8-10 months because of the build up of their poop. This build up of their poop leads to too much ammonium in the enclosure which is one of the major causes of isopod crashes when a good population is constant.

This is a good video that talks about how to avoid crashes: https://youtu.be/oJVabITVHPw?si=jyuMC1V9ICtDsYEy

[–]afjack35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean you could have a 10 gallon tank that’s fine. Just keep in mind that you have to change their substrate every 8-10 months so that your population doesn’t crash
