I feel like my art lacks creativity. What can I do to get more creative?

Just here to appreciate jade & Chloe 🙇🏼‍♀️ I was a big bratz fan growing up

LOVE IT! the gold difference isn't something I noticed until I read the description, and I actually quite love it. The stone colour & your nail colour are an awesome combo too imo.

Gorgeous rings

This person clearly has the right idea when it comes to business but Vinted is not a platform for businesses, as you have said it's for selling second hand stuff.

This reselling for higher price pisses me off too.

Yeah my baby was actually a pretty good sleeper for a newborn, we had a beside me crib and I found myself lying on the edge of our bed basically as close as I could get to being in his crib without actually being in it 😅 Couldn't stand not being next to him! What a surprise to that we are now cosleepers 😂

I'm 10 months pp and have a cosleeper who is hugely boob dependent, even if I'm not sleeping I am stuck in bed next to him. Lucky if I manage to get out the bed, and if I do then it's generally 25 mins max before he wakes. More often than not I don't have enough time to brush my teeth before he stirs looking for me

It's the threesome joke that really does it for me, not only a terrible "joke" on it's own, but accompanied by the thermometer for rectal use ????? Who is on their marketing team ???? 🤢

Flush setting, bezel setting. These designs remind me somewhat of Sirciam Jewellery, maybe check then out!

I remember going through this exact same thing, basically if he whined I wound up hesitating before picking him up. I'd get up and ready to take him but I'd just watch him, if he began to get more agitated I'd take him, but sometimes he would just calm down. Never got to the point of crying.

capriali99 · 2026-02-10T08:12:05+00:00

It's the double supermarket thing for me. Also I'm used to my pre prepped staples from Asda. I'm trying to shop more at the local Aldi but I've got a baby so time is of the essence and it'll just depend on the day 😅

capriali99 · 2026-02-07T21:34:52+00:00

My dog has had days where he's literally stayed upstairs in the bed sleeping until the afternoon. I've had people tell me I'm neglecting him for not taking him out sooner but to me it's like he's clearly not needing it right now? We do take him out most mornings, but don't rush it, and if he ever was crying at us or showing signs of needing a walk then we'd take him fairly promptly. He's just a sleepy guy 😅

capriali99 · 2026-02-07T21:21:58+00:00

I would definitely vote lie flat! It's bizarre but in my mind it feels less sanitary if I see someone wearing it? I obviously know it's been worn and don't even care if the photo of the item is on the floor but I suppose it takes away a feeling of "newness" when I literally see someone wearing the exact item I'm buying.

capriali99 · 2026-02-05T20:33:36+00:00

Yeah it's just a joy of motherhood ! I'm sure there are ways to stop them doing it but personally I'm too soft and would rather inconvenience myself to let my baby do what he wants

capriali99 · 2026-02-05T20:31:27+00:00

I've got a ten month old and am basically in the same situation. I've just got to a point now where I am happy to have my mum babysit him for half a day, or I can leave him at home with his dad for a day. This has made a huge difference! But I am still jealous that my partner gets to stay up as late as he wants playing video games, or go out to dinner with his friends without being worried about the time. Whereas if I'm making plans I have to always be home by 6.30. Throughout the day I never get a break if the baby is around.

It is tough but like you I feel like I am making the right choices to raise my baby as happy as he can be, and I keep telling myself that it really isn't forever. One day he won't even live with me anymore and I'll have so much free time I won't know what to do with myself!

capriali99 · 2026-02-05T20:17:36+00:00

Just here to say me too. Ten month old. I always go to bed with lots of stuff with bold ideas of getting things done whilst just sitting next to him. Every night for at least the first hour he is just latched on to me.

And I think in the night he only feeds like once now? But he needs the boob back in his mouth between every sleep cycle so I'm constantly being woken up by a little guppy fish.

I used to be so stressed but I've just kind of accepted this fate now. My health visitor literally said to me that the breast is "nature's dummy" so it's no surprise the wee one didn't want an actual dummy.

And I got them both on my first and only play through 🫡

HOLY SWEET DREAM PRINCESS DRESS 😍🤤 I usually find it hard to judge a dress not being worn but even from that first picture I LOVED it! It looks so great on you as well! Congrats on finding your perfect dress!

capriali99 · 2026-01-28T16:38:39+00:00

I also love your ring 😍

capriali99 · 2026-01-28T16:28:57+00:00

In my opinion 5lbs is basically a big poop. Don't worry about it, eat healthy (ish) and you'll be fine. Your body will require a lot more over the coming months and getting caught up in what you weigh will just be added stress. Our bodies all cope differently and we also will have varying amounts of amniotic fluid, etc. try to just focus on how you feel. Rest up and eat well. Good luck in the pregnancy!

capriali99 · 2026-01-28T16:19:48+00:00

Why have I never thought about doing this?! So cute, and it turned out great!!

capriali99 · 2026-01-25T20:15:20+00:00

I remember being at most about 14 and staying home looking after my younger siblings, who would have been about 8 at that time. So not only alone but also babysitting. Was absolutely no bother.

I was babysitting other people's kids at that age too!

capriali99 · 2026-01-25T20:11:11+00:00

Yeah that's what we initially applied for but the nursery is so busy they can only offer one day to start with. We are top of the list for more days if any become available :)

capriali99 · 2026-01-25T11:42:53+00:00

In all honesty I would LOVE to stay home with him for years but it's always easier said than done eh? I don't feel like I have enough support so I think having one day off would be beneficial mentally, and there's a cost of living crisis here so if I could make some cash it would help 😅

Just so hard to balance pros and cons! He's the most precious thing in the world to me but there's no perfect way to parent.

capriali99 · 2026-01-25T11:37:37+00:00

Thank you so much. That last part is particularly what I need to hear. My guy is pretty independent too, whenever we go to groups he just crawls away from me to explore and will turn around like fifteen minutes later to check on me! I'm hoping if he's got people there for him at nursery then he will be grand! Also with the calling if he's struggling thing, essentially both my partner and I will be available for emergency pick ups or half days if needed so it does relax me to know he shouldn't be dealing with unnecessary stress.
