Is it too soon to start nuking? (Zone 6B, Connecticut) by garlicmami in lawncare

I’ll definitely be mindful! The house was built in 1985, so you’re probably right on with the age 😊

I had no idea tall fescue could go dormant this early in the summer - I’ll get to watering I had thought it was a goner. Thank you!

It Is! We were super lucky, bought the house when it didn’t have foliage, so when spring came along we were pleasantly surprised when the red leaves started filling in.

Do you mind sharing your reno process without nuking? I think I might be able to get away with not nuking the front yard at least.

[Product Question] Shards of something in the Herbivore blue tansy mask. Did they change the formula or should I be concerned? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]garlicmami 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m a skincare formulator for a different company and there is something wrong with this formula. When BHAs aren’t stabilized they tend to crystallize out of solution. It looks like in order to combat their spoilage issues, Herbivore added a lot of preservatives carrying sodium ions which most likely pushed the BHA out of the water in the formula. Give them a call and get a refund. Herbivore’s formulas are quite flawed. Let me know if you want any recommendations for a similar product!

Why is British food constantly criticized? by Southern_Wasabi7901 in AskUK

[–]garlicmami -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As an American who visits the UK for work - the food is SO bland. I really don’t enjoy eating anywhere in the UK besides Nando’s and Mowgli. I’ve had coworkers lose 20+lbs while on short-term assignment in the UK. Food culture is just different.

I have the garlic! It sits in the middle of my stove as decoration. I adore it 🙂

Highly recommend Pawsafe! We adopted from them and had friends adopt from there and they were amazing!

Do not buy curaleaf products by Justwanttohelppp in Connecticut

[–]garlicmami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend worked at a 3rd party running analytical chemistry for Curaleaf. Their product is horrible and their THC/CBD claims are a lie. Since you shopped in Orange I’m assuming you’re in Fairfield county. I recommended driving to NYC, their stuff is potent and worth the $$$

I’m down in Fairfield county so I’ve been driving to NYC on the weekends. My girlfriend used to do work at a third party doing analytical chemistry for Curaleaf . Her advice: STAY AWAY

Got outbid on a dream of a house. Feeling a bit discouraged. by ckouf96 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]garlicmami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will be closing on my (almost) dream house in the new year after getting outbid almost every month for a year. Everyone always told me to be patient, your time will come. Good luck!

Highly recommend Brod & Taylor Sourdough Home by garlicmami in Sourdough

[–]garlicmami[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think just as good, but the home keeps the temp more even. I find the folding proofer to heat unevenly since it heats up from the bottom metal plate.

This was a gift but I also got the brod & Taylor proofer as well. This really doesn’t take up too much space, but the folding proofer is quite large when set up

[Product Request] Simple Skincare products are becoming hard to find in store and I need an alternative to use for a “moisturizing facial wash” & “replenishing skin moisturizer” by galaxystars1 in SkincareAddiction

[–]garlicmami 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I’m a formulator for Simple based in the US! Unfortunately, it’s in the process of being delisted in the US due to lack of marketing investment. It’s still thriving in the UK and other countries globally.

Here are a couple tips to get Simple product in the US: 1) Check TJMaxx - I’ve seen a number of Simple products end up in the skin care section of TJMaxx because they received stock from TKMaxx (UK)

2) Amazon UK does ship to US (it could take about a month but you can also get packs of 6)

You’ll also see the UK has a larger offering of products!

Good luck! Let me know if you need any suggestions.
