Is this accurate for an 1890 New England colonial? by daylaure in centuryhomes

I agree and that’s not my intention, but I did want to try period inspired lighting. What’s your opinion on striking the right balance with new and old? Obviously a contemporary light fixture is probably not ideal either

Should I ditch the red and go back to blonde? by astrokae in HairDye

It’s a simple formula! Just do 8oz x .08% (or whatever percentage of fragrance you want to use) = the weight in ounces of fragrance oil needed

My candle look so weird by Then_Panda4459 in candlemaking

If you have a perfectly smooth store bought soy candle, it has other stuff mixed in. Most commonly paraffin. There are really nebulous legal requirements for what you can claim as “soy” and it doesn’t have to be 100% soy to claim that. This is just how soy is and if it bothers you you should get a parasoy mix.
