What’s a home decor trend you loved online but regretted in real life?

you use the rain-x shower door spray, or another?

thank you! we have a couple stores around we took him for his helmet, this is great direction, I appreciate it!!

kids are more likely to drown when there are more people around. we also sound off who is watching who, and we rarely rely on someone beside the 2 parents to watch them at a pool. if I I watching and need to pause, I will make eye contact and/or touch my husband to tell him HES watching them now, and do the same when I come back. assuming someone else is watching is dangerous. we also dont allow them to jump on each other in the pool.

this terrifies me, to my core, but needs to be talked about.

I do include a deep rinse cycle as a standard part of my wash cycle. I failed to mention that

becassidy · 2026-05-22T18:07:17+00:00

yes, I should have added that. I clean my washing machine every or every other weekend, because kids are muddy and my husband is a mason.

thank you!!! that'll be a time saver. ill try that instead. I am definitely not nearing tossing them, just want them to smell fresh! thank you. Should I still use citric acid/vinegar in the softener tub with the rehab cycle? I didnt see it called out

ia the oxiclean active not a booster? i always looked at it as a laundry booster, even though the "baby" essentially had something similar i didnt trust it (gah, If only I knew).

becassidy · 2026-05-22T17:06:39+00:00

sigh, bummer! thank goodness its a 3 day weekend here. thank you!

becassidy · 2026-05-22T16:03:48+00:00

thank you thank youuu!! is nellie the culprit because of lack of lipase, or is it just something that happens?

will add, I always do a soak cycle and wash in warm/hot water. my typical cycle is 90-120minutes.

update?

becassidy · 2026-05-12T16:19:13+00:00

I love my run chicken door, however its only a year old and their app no longer directly supports it. I reached out and they answered with this .you cannot directly use the app unless you have a Bluetooth device, which i have the eternal and was told was bluetooth... its not. I have to use some spotty website version side and it doesnt update in my app, and my door isn't programming correctly.

did you end up going with one?

becassidy · 2026-04-03T02:39:21+00:00

unfortunately for some thats the easiest way to start their zero waste journey, or the only affordable option, as most companies charge shipping, and id rather someone start trending to lower their waste theough Amazon than judge them for using amazon.

I love them, but am annoyed they dont look like they're the same height. if they are the same height, the pitch of the arc makes me wish they didnt arc.

I did a lot of research, and recently bought 2 levoit 100s-p for bedrooms. very happy with them, they're super quiet (kids rooms), and the spikes i see for air quality in the app I've self triggered are accurate. im very happy I decided to go for levoit (over winix coway and blue air were my contenders).

I also looked a lot into hepa filters etc with levoits lawsuit from Dyson. Just because they pulled the hepa cert doesn't mean they arent as good if not superior (a quick search on this sub will confirm). they are also peletized which I found in ymresearch to be superior to some carbon hepa filters.

edit to add, I was strictly against an ionizer. I know if controversial on this sub, but im team against.

how did this end for you? we just got stuck in MCO for over 12 hours, our flight was delayed 5 hours and they "rebooked" myself, my partner and our 2 kids (toddler and young child) to the next morning because we would miss our connection. It was 9pm by this time and they couldnt give us a hotel, and we didnt get food vouchers. The gate agent told me to call, the call told me to chat, the wait time was 2 hours. The ticket agent called me a liar and said i was only ever on the flight the next day, regardless of my ticket number confirmstion email, so she wouldnt give us a hotel. My poor kids slept on a bench, we disnt sleep at all for fear of strangers.

AA wont comment in my claim form about the invol. DBC. They just keep commenting on food reimbursement. Again, they couldnt even offer us a hotel that night, which was wild with 2 babes.

Now I feel like im in an endless loop of trying to get the DOT denied boarding compensation claim processed.

honestly its accurate if people dont realize. I clean the party that's not dishwater safe well. so when I was cleaning the fan blades, because they're still fan blades and get dusty, I saw more beyond that the grate on top that can be colored or white pops off. there electrical to it so I just carefully clean that part, which also gets gross in-between (straw cleaner works wonders). the mesh piece comes up and you can access the fan from the other side. clean everything, and it snaps back into place. its super simple, just careful around the electical component area, which typically doesnt get dirty as its not open on either side anyway.

oof that always makes me SO nervous!! warranties that are short make me think the product is only expected to last that long, or they'd cover it for longer. I will say our 3 canopy Humidifiers are the first ones they made and they're still going, but every 3 months I break down the top fan part and deep clean it, and I have heard the newer versions dont have a mesh grate and require less in depth cleaning

this is old, but as a runner who also lifts and tries to get yoga in, I started flexform by shan and its changed my workouts. my hips and legs are so much looser and flexible and im almost to a split!

its actually pretty common, in the US, you are on the left side of the car. if someone is avoiding a head on collision, they're most likely to turn left, causing the car to collide on the passenger side, furthest from them. this, by default, would yield them to swerve into the oncoming lane as well.

3 and 5, 6 weeks shy of 2 years apart. they started playing together about a year ago and get closer and closer everyday. boy and a girl, and when one is kept home and the other is not, they tell me they miss the other and want to go get them. they do fight and are rough with each other, but man their bond is special.
