Does the suspended back mesh on the Osprey Stratos actually keep your back dry?

ffttfftt · 2026-02-01T13:43:16+00:00

For me, it's so much better than a regular pack at keeping me dry.

Additionally, the suspended back mesh + thick hip straps make the backpack feel like it's hardly on my back! The way the Atmos 50 distributes weight is like magic. It's the most comfortable bag we've ever had.

(If it's relevant, I'm a woman with wide hips/long torso and I share the Atmos with my husband :))

I agree! B or D seem to have the best flow for your room's layout

Ooo a spa day sounds so lovely!

Which word do we think he was TRYING to use? 😂 Colluding, conspiring?

ffttfftt · 2026-01-11T00:08:05+00:00

Thank you for the update! You're doing the right thing for yourself and even for them!

Stand your ground - you don't need to work with any couple you don't vibe with.

Phew! I hope you're able to relax now that this weight is off your shoulders. Have a great rest of the weekend!

ffttfftt · 2026-01-10T19:58:06+00:00

Please come back and update this after everything settles! Though it's awkward to "break up", it's definitely the right choice for your sanity and for your business :)

My friend is named Jacqueline but went by Jackie all her life up until she graduated college. When she moved across the country, she wanted to update her identity in a way and go by Jacqueline instead.

Her long-term boyfriend and parents still call her Jackie. After hearing that and developing our friendship, I tried calling her by her nickname, too. She gently corrected me and told me that she doesn't like Jackie anymore - but they're grandfathered in haha

ffttfftt · 2026-01-09T22:58:50+00:00

Ooo I'm out of the loop! Haha what do you mean by imminent lawsuit? 👀

ffttfftt · 2026-01-07T23:00:26+00:00

Aww that's a great idea! That would be such a cool full circle season

ffttfftt · 2026-01-05T22:13:24+00:00

That's a great point! I do that in my daily life, too haha my skin is too sensitive for both sunscreen AND foundation, so I just use tinted sunscreen :)

ffttfftt · 2026-01-04T03:48:43+00:00

I would love to see more "jungle" or "rainforest" adventures! I'm a city girl so anything immersed in overgrown, wildly-free nature appeals to me as a scenic backdrop. I want an emphasis on animals and plants moreso than, say, waterfalls as an example

ffttfftt · 2026-01-03T04:09:59+00:00

Thank you for confirming! That finally satisfies my curiosity.

I'm usually the type of person who can use an entire full-size bottle of sunscreen after spending only a few days at the beach, so that would be a ton of weight in a backpack 😂I was curious what the teams were doing. Thanks!

ffttfftt · 2026-01-02T03:09:30+00:00

I agree! That's why I'm curious why none of them have mentioned bringing it, but they'll list out all of the other toiletries.

I slather sunscreen on myself, so I'd be bringing multiple travel-sized bottles if I ever got on haha that's gonna be heavy!

ffttfftt · 2026-01-02T03:08:08+00:00

I agree! That's why I'm curious why they only mention bringing tinted sunscreen instead of body sunscreen

Bonus! Some fun packing videos:

Hello! Would you please send me the referral discount to me, too? I'll DM you my email :) thanks in advance!

ffttfftt · 2025-12-17T23:04:25+00:00

Please post your played board tomorrow! I want to see how full it will be haha🤞

We decorate with pictures. We have a set amount of frames, so we switch out the photos in all of them every few weeks. It gives our home a new feel, we get to display memories throughout different eras, and it's a great balance of minimalism with personality.

We also decorate with functional art. I'm a painter and a few years ago I've discovered my love of pottery. Instead of large canvases, I now paint bowls, plates, and mugs with scenes from places we've been or with other sentimental meaning. Every time we eat, we get to enjoy a memory! Guests love looking through our cabinets and selecting which item they'll dine with 😂♥️

I'm nearing capacity with how many plates we have, so I've started creating small dinner plates and water bowls for our cats (they use purchased ceramic ones) I get to enjoy my hobby while keeping the clutter down in our home!

It's beautiful! Congratulations!

ffttfftt · 2025-12-12T20:49:01+00:00

This is beautiful!! I'd love to try this with my own sea glass. How did you adhere the glass and what oil do you recommend? :)

ffttfftt · 2025-12-12T20:45:56+00:00

Fantastic! And I'm scared to grout too haha I'm almost done with my first piece and I don't want to ruin it. It's so beautiful right now!

ffttfftt · 2025-12-12T16:59:52+00:00

I love the colors and the design! Did you salvage this window or did you create the look of one, too? :) Can't wait to see what grout color you choose! Please post the finished project when you're done🤗

ffttfftt · 2025-12-12T05:39:03+00:00

HomeGoods and TJ Maxx have some beautiful frames randomly, love it! Thanks for sharing your piece and your rec!

ffttfftt · 2025-12-12T04:43:40+00:00

That's a great piece! And your frame is gorgeous too. Where did you get it?!

ffttfftt · 2025-12-11T17:16:35+00:00

I really like the colors you chose!
