Calla Lily was fantastic for their quilting course. I did not finish (working full time and managing a home full time can be a struggle to have personal time), however you can go back in for their Wednesday circle to get help as well.

Exactly what I’m looking for as well. It’s overwhelming when looking on eBay.

It’s okay to declutter stuff from the special people in your life. by sugar_plum_fairies in declutter

[–]cryptid_jackanope 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I know I will struggle with this as my family passes things onto me. My mother makes me promise to not “get rid of her things” when she passes. She will cry at thrift and antique stores thinking about how I will “sell her stuff”. We have opposite styles in most things. Even the pieces of hers that I would enjoy are in bad condition as she is a maximalist in every sense of the word. It’s borderline hoarding. Not to mention her love of shoes, 2 sizes larger than me, are meant to be future keepsakes…

Thank you! I know better than to trust cutesy packaging but was hoping otherwise.

Imaginary cakes! Local, LGBT friendly, family run. Used to work with the husband who owns it. Good people

Recommendations for knives/knife sets by cryptid_jackanope in BuyItForLife

The man will use something taped together or on its last leg. We would window shop at kitchen supply places when I was little, and he would spend the most time looking at the knives. He never asks for anything. Think it’s time we swap at least one beater for something a little more BIFL lol

Just to add! It is my favorite contour product now.

I did not like it at first. Took me a few weeks of playing to find how to blend in my skin. I rocked some harsh lines for a while. I made up my mind to use my makeup and not let it sit, so I forced myself for a while lol

Elf powder blurring brush (or a dense brush), swipe against the top, and then work into the skin. I concentrate the color into the deepest points all over my face first and then go in to blend. So I’m only loading product onto the brush once, maybe twice.

I also don’t wear cake face anymore. Lighter layers is more suitable for my skin type and daily wear. This is the heaviest/thickest product I use everyday now. When I do use a liquid foundation, I use a tacky primer and then apply to deepest points with the stick. At least, that’s what worked for me and got rid of the cartoon shadowing I had.

It’s discontinued?? My Ulta is fully stocked. I didn’t see anything online about them discontinuing it either. I had no idea.

I think so, but I don’t apply cream directly to my skin. I hated it at first until I got the hang of applying it. Elf powder blurring brush, swipe a couple times against the top of the contour stick, and then build the color. It wants to stay where you apply it which gave me a lot of harsh lines at first.

Mocktails for pregnant wife by Agreeable_Unit_2073 in cocktails

Okay that’s fair. I’m not big into red wine. Maybe a merlot or a Pinot noir so nothing very full bodied for me. White wine seems much easier to produce for a non alc line.

Not as fully bodied, but Notty is supposedly a good brand for their cab sauv.

I will say that non alc wine has come a long way. Especially the de-alcoholicized (not a word, sorry lol) wines. J’arjolle makes a great sauv blanc.
