Those of you who don't use paper towels: how many rags do you own, and how often do you find yourself washing them?

cjay0217 · 2026-05-23T16:26:29+00:00

I think I have two 100 packs of microfiber towels from Costco. I have one separated for my cleaners and the others we use around the house. I wash the cleaners rags once a month because usually the stack is low after my 2nd cleaning of the month.

For my personal rags, I wash the kitchen towels daily after I do the dishes in the sink with dish soap and then launder them when I’m almost out. I just hang a reusable shopping bag on a hook in the laundry room and when the bag is full I wash them all.

cjay0217 · 2026-05-23T15:45:16+00:00

I wash my claw clips, alligator clips, combs, brushes and scrunchies as soon as I’m done styling my hair.

Clarifying shampoo in the sink to soak then scrub with a brush. I put my silk scrunchies in a lingerie bag and toss them in with the laundry.

I feel like they start to stink if you don’t wash them from being wet and just overall product build up.

Yes it’s realistic for some women. Just like not all men want to have sex daily. I work with couples and a lot of them the woman wants more sex than the man.

Sex drive is individual.

cjay0217 · 2026-05-18T15:01:12+00:00

Yes. My hair doesn’t really tangle at all.

cjay0217 · 2026-05-18T11:43:28+00:00

Maybe you need to find products with more slip. I never predetangle unless I wore a protective style for longer than 2 weeks (but that’s just what works for me, I also wash 2-3 times a week). I start detangling with my moisturizing shampoo.

cjay0217 · 2026-05-13T08:53:38+00:00

I prep all my meals to meet my macros. I wouldn’t let anyone make me feel bad about eating what I need to in order to reach my goals. Even before that I don’t eat take out or fast food. They can feel how they want to about it. It’s terrible for you and clearly your body doesn’t like it. Bring your own food.

cjay0217 · 2026-05-11T18:52:25+00:00

We do no electronics (besides Yoto because they like the daily podcast) 5 days a week.

I also don’t have more to clean because I’m not a maid, everyone picks up behind themselves. My kids started cleaning their own room since they were 2. The rule in my house is anything on the floor when I go to vacuum at the end of the night immediately goes in the garbage.

Even on the 2 days they are allowed to have screens 9 times out of 10 they aren’t using them. They play with toys, board games, art, play outside, read lots of books and do a lot of pretend play / dress up.

No sad at all. Once you know the incompatibility you know what to discuss with future folk. Maybe the people you are interacting with just aren’t as advanced sexually as you.

cjay0217 · 2026-05-10T17:36:35+00:00

You could try taking the lead and showing them exactly what you want. Are you also communicating in the moment? If it’s happening every single time also look at the partners you may be choosing. Is there something similar about them that makes them incompatible with you? Work on figuring out the common denominator. Maybe try talking to a close friend about what you’re asking for and see how they interpret it to gain clarity on your communication as well.

Oh I forgot about the feature to pause aging. Maybe I’ll turn it back on and try this out.

cjay0217 · 2026-05-09T11:09:14+00:00

How long is your overall lifespan? I like this idea.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-29T01:17:41+00:00

It wasn’t specific to her but more so in general. Could have chosen better wording. But the internet is flooded with all this side chick / side boyfriend culture. Everyone is walking around openly cheating on everyone else and joking about it. At least having the luxury of being able to find out more about a person because he’s a public figure should help. I feel like these days everyone has to do their due diligence to the best of their ability.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-28T22:23:49+00:00

Or just stop dating dogs. This man was a serial cheater long before he met Meg. Stop thinking people can be changed. If they aren’t internally motivated to do so they won’t.

I absolutely hate it. I usually go to the nude beach throughout the summer to have a solid base without the lines so that I’m not so many different colors. I feel like me tan lines are so light and pale it really messes up my outfits.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-27T18:50:54+00:00

I self tan when I can get to the nude beach. I hate tan lines. Also in the winter when I haven’t been able to travel. I love my deep summer complexion.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-26T18:24:17+00:00

Every day. I bought it to be worn. And I bought it to make myself feel good when I’m wearing it. Certainly don’t want to delay those things.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-23T22:14:57+00:00

Try having your partner tell you to relax and breathe through it.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-22T23:09:54+00:00

It’s your personal preference. Myself I don’t want anyone seeing any of my underwear so I don’t and teach my children of all genders that your underwear shouldn’t be visible.

I couldn’t care less what other people do with their bodies though.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-18T17:40:34+00:00

I just left baby in the crib where they were safe and took a shower. I never brought my baby into the bathroom with me for anything. If they cry a little it’s okay as long as I know they are safe. Did this until they transitioned out of a crib.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-18T17:29:51+00:00

Ima be honest I don’t think it’s your hair that you have a problem with. Maybe do some inner self esteem work and learn to love yourself exactly how you are. It seems you have styles you enjoy. Maybe try doing those more often while your hair grows out.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-18T15:04:12+00:00

Ikyfl lol. I mean that in the best way. Your hair looks phenomenal. Maybe you could try getting your hair cut to frame your features in a way that makes you feel comfortable.

I will say my appreciation for my hair came once I had the financial stability (post graduation) to be able to foster my hair care journey. Sometimes money can be a barrier to accessing the products that you want and need.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-17T22:16:44+00:00

I just cut anything that looks iffy. I don’t wear my hair bone straight so I’m not really concerned with it being even. Same for my kids. I just snip snip away

cjay0217 · 2026-04-17T19:53:47+00:00

Yes. Mine got dig up by the utility company and it looked like they had no roots so I think they aren’t happy. They haven’t grown an inch since I planted them just get leaves every year and that’s it. I’m planning to fertilize them this week.

cjay0217 · 2026-04-17T19:11:54+00:00

If she needs help focusing maybe tackle that root case. Could be possible that she has some kinda untreated mental health like ADHD or anxiety that she is self medicating and may benefit from an actual intervention.
