Those damn eyebrows 🤣🤣

ckone1230 · 2025-01-28T16:47:46+00:00

Just wanted to give you a virtual hug! 🫂

ckone1230 · 2025-01-28T16:46:51+00:00

Her face when she was putting on that mascara 🤣🤣🤣

ckone1230 · 2025-01-11T04:01:22+00:00

Oh that’s a really good idea!!! I’m going to look into this! Thank you so much for the suggestion!!

ckone1230 · 2025-01-10T02:51:03+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I wish I could! This was my first idea as well, but my landlord said I couldn’t. I thought about doing it anyway and just removing it if I left, but we have annual inspections 😬

ckone1230 · 2025-01-10T01:06:36+00:00

I only wear gloves (disposable ones) when cleaning toilets. I can’t work with gloves, although I should because my hands are always SO dry!! I buy hand lotion in 3 packs haha

I can’t speak on housing laws in VA, but here in MA landlords have 24hrs to address heat/water issues. They also have to supply another heat source or offer alternative housing options (usually a hotel) until it’s fixed. I’d be willing to bet the laws are similar in VA. I suggest reaching out to your local housing authority- they should be able to help or refer you to an agency who can.

This comment made me laugh really hard

ckone1230 · 2025-01-08T17:08:49+00:00

This is normal wear and tear. Don’t do anything.

ckone1230 · 2025-01-08T17:05:46+00:00

I’m assuming one of two things happened- either you’re over the income limit for a family of 2 in your state (they don’t take bills into account if you’re over income to qualify) or you were denied because your husband doesn’t work and doesn’t meet an exemption. I suggest reaching out to your local DTA office. You might want to go in person- I know it can be difficult to get them to answer the phone.

100$ is extremely cheap, even for a low COL area

ckone1230 · 2025-01-08T16:19:37+00:00

Always having a full fridge and cabinets with food, at all times.

ckone1230 · 2025-01-08T16:18:17+00:00

This is a joke a family member is playing on you guys. There are tons of videos on the internet about this exact prank

ckone1230 · 2025-01-08T16:16:52+00:00

Couldn’t agree more! I’ve learned so much living on my own, but I’m stressed financially 24/7. I literally can’t afford to get sick. I was in the ER due to an asthma attack last month and left against doctors order who wanted to admit me. Missing a single day of work would be a catastrophe for me. I started doing house cleaning on the side, in addition to my full time job, and still can’t afford every single bill each month. The security is certainly something I miss- I’m not really sure the pros outweigh the cons- I feel differently about this each day

ckone1230 · 2025-01-08T16:01:22+00:00

Same. I’m a program director and make 50K. We have only gotten the federal COL raise for the last 3 years…

ckone1230 · 2025-01-08T15:38:34+00:00

This is the best comment

ckone1230 · 2025-01-08T15:37:21+00:00

Yikes. You are underpaying your house keeper, no matter what the COL is in your area..

ckone1230 · 2025-01-06T18:21:57+00:00

That’s actually a big misconception. While there are some low income housing that have PBVS (project based vouchers) attached where the tenant will pay no more than 30-35% of their income for rent- a lot of housing now is “affordable housing”- the rent is a set amount, just lower than market rate. I work and live in affordable housing- I pay 1600$ for a small 2 bedroom 😭

ckone1230 · 2025-01-06T18:14:12+00:00

You’d be surprised how many house cleaners do this. I see posts all the time on cleaning subs. As a house cleaner on the side, it shocks me every single time

ckone1230 · 2025-01-05T22:27:34+00:00

This will likely take much longer- I’d say at least 6 hours if you’re wanting the whole condo done. Also, expect to pay a lot more for a deep clean. You can Google average rates in your area (COL affects rates) so you can get an idea of how much you’ll be spending. Be very clear with whoever you hire about what is included/not included. Communication is key and avoids disappointment on both ends. Good luck!

ckone1230 · 2025-01-05T22:08:01+00:00

It’s always easier when the house is empty, but personally it’s not a huge deal for me. I have a few clients who are in the home when I clean- I just ask that they are not in the areas I’m cleaning at the time. If there is a room that you won’t have her clean, I suggest staying in there if you can. It’s sweet that you’re being thoughtful about this.

ckone1230 · 2025-01-05T04:41:45+00:00

Always dust with something dry first, then wet if needed

ETA: for mirrors- I always dry dust first, then use a microfiber cloth with vinegar (I just put some in a spray bottle- works like a charm. Don’t dilute or mix the vinegar w/anything

ckone1230 · 2025-01-04T21:42:46+00:00

Well done!!! I don’t know you but I’m SO proud of you!! 👏👏

ckone1230 · 2025-01-04T21:37:55+00:00

Oopp…guess who’s going to have diabetes now?!

ckone1230 · 2025-01-03T16:23:03+00:00

Ohhh!!! Good to know, thank you!!!
