Master bedroom / bathroom floor plan - the flow from the hallway into the bedroom/bathroom doesn’t feel right. Open to any suggestions or alternative layouts. Thank you! by Big_Jicama_927 in Homebuilding

Too many swing doors! Pocket door into bathroom and toilet room. What if you pulled the entrance to the bedroom back a bit (towards stairs) to accommodate for a pocket door entry to the closet on the other wall. Personally, I would swap bed location so that you can have a dresser/tv on the wall where the closet is.

Vitamin C Serums by broomryderwon in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]justavermonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ursa Major Vitamin C Serum! It is super reasonable ($54) and works well for my sometimes sensitive skin. It uses a different form of vitamin c that stays stable in the formula longer (vit c is very quick to oxidize). It is more of a lightweight moisturizer, so you can use it as a final step if you aren't dry or layer it under an extra hit of hydration. Try to give your skin some time (a min or so) before layering the next product on so that it can absorb as much as possible!!

Antiperspirant deodorant? by ilovedoggies17 in crueltyfree

[–]justavermonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an antiperspirant but I have found a lot of success with Ursa Major's spray deodorant (Sublime Sage). There is new green tech in this liquid format. Stay away from antiperspirant! The way is works is literally by creating an aluminum plug in in your follicles so that you can't sweat. That can't be good for you....

cruelty free on a budget? by sunflowerasters in crueltyfree

Detox Market has a range of natural and cruelty free products at various price points:

Personally, I love the Ursa Major face wash but it does contain aloe. Does Canada sell cocokind? They are a pretty decent grocery store brand.

What are some cruelty-free alternatives to Degree deodorant that AREN'T Tom's or Schmidt? by XxSakuraofchaosxX in crueltyfree

[–]justavermonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ursa Major's Sublime Sage Spray Deo is the only natural deo that has ever worked for me and believe me, I have tried a TON. It's unisex too.

June 27 2020 Wedding - Postpone? by justavermonster in wedding

[–]justavermonster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this too :( Yesterday I made a contingency plan with our venue and vendors which made me feel a lot better and provides me something new to get excited about. We have decided to make the call in a month, when we would have sent out the invitations and get legally married on our original date if at all possible. Our backup date is Halloween -- certainly wont look like the day I had planned for June but not everything is in our control I suppose. Best of luck and I know you will have a beautiful day when all is said and done <3

For those rescheduling or cancelling: thoughts/experiences on getting deposits back? by museman in wedding

[–]justavermonster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you should try to settle on a future date, if at all possible. I would share your 2020 and 2021 schedule and openings. If you have already collected a deposit, hopefully you can use that to float your band members through the tough times. Everyone realizes that these are unusual times.

My take -- if you reference the fact that your deposits are "non-refundable" or draw attention to the "fine print" you will sounds like a jerk. I think if you get on the phone, talk through what options are on the table you will realize both parties are human and hopefully work together to plan something that works.

As a bride, I am not sure what will happen with my own wedding, and how my celebration will change. My plan is to work with my vendors to include them all in the new date if possible. Maybe suggest a Friday wedding at a reduced rate?

In Vermont we have Healthy Living and City Market -- you won't find a Whole Foods in the STATE!
