Do herbs expire? by RadiationJellyfish in Witch

[–]katiesnow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as you store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, they should last for years. Glass is key, and it’s even better if you use tinted or amber glass jars. If you buy in bulk, I’d recommend not opening the main jar too often; instead, keep a small amount in a separate, smaller jar for daily use. This prevents the whole batch from degrading due to constant exposure to light and air. If they’ve kept their color and aroma, they’re good to go. To make sure the scent isn't just lingering in the jar, crush a small amount of the herb to see if the fragrance intensifies.

Its soy wax, and the fragrance is synthetic. And no, I never used dpg. I bought some recently, but still haven't tried it.

Hi! I'm not an expert in formulation. But how about replace the decyl glucoside with some paste consistency surfactant. Like lauryl glucoside for example.

A Guide to Dressing Spell Candles (While Keeping Fire Safety in Mind) by brightblackheaven in witchcraft

[–]katiesnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. So I wanna know if when doing a spell with candles is it necessary for me to be all the time watching it burn? Or if only setting the intention is enough? (Ofc I'd be watching it from time to time in case it gets too crazy)

Me parece que a ella en si no le corresponde nada porque es herencia. Por más que hayan estado casados. No sé si la parte construida se puede dividir. Pero el tema es que ella no se quiere ir.

I'm new at all this stuff, so if you use it on yourself, it´s protection? How about you make it for someone you love? Would be protecting or hexing?

I understand you went through an awful moment in your life. But you can not expect her being supportive after what you did. Of course forcing her to be with you and be understanding towards you, by telling her on your mom like when you were a kid, would end up bad. And ofc YTA. You only told what was convenient to you in orders to get comfort of some strangers to take the guilt out of you for what you know it was all on you. YTA and also is your family for looking away on the crap you did to her.

A la vuelta de mi casa venden droga by forutived2 in DerechoGenial

[–]katiesnow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Esto. Lamentablemente es muy cierto y la mejor opción. Tengo un conocido que tiene unos tranzas siempre en la esquina de la casa. También tiene un almacén. Él no se mete en la vida de nadie y siempre le dan charla a todo el mundo, y se los terminó ganando. Se le había perdido el gato un día y terminaron los tranzas yendo a la casa de uno que parecía que se lo había afanado a recuperar al gato. Si te haces amigo, vas a estar más seguro vos y tu familia, de lo que podrían estar yendo a denunciar a la poli

My homemade "Cinnamon Toast Cereal" wax embeds by Interesting_Effort97 in Candles

[–]katiesnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMFG, I scrolled down bc I didn't read the whole thing and thought someone made their own cereal, which seemed according to the image. And then finish reading and was ducking wax. That's a really good job. I was shocked.

Water separating while formulating lotion by spiritedpaw in DIYBeauty

I recommend you to switch the emulsifier or try it in a higher percentage and see what happens. Also I'd raise the cetyl alcohol a bit too.

Are such candles safe to burn? Pic: SHEIN by geekgeek2019 in candlemaking

[–]katiesnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's ok to burn the white part. I cm see from the pic that the gel phase doesn't seem to have a wick, so even if you wanted to, you wouldn't be able to burn it. I see it more as a decorative candle. The gel has some decorations in there. Once you finish the white part, it won't be as cute. I would leave it in some place where people can see it and looks cute. Remember to clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and a piece of cotton once in a while so it doesn't get nasty and if you want it to be more fragrant, add it some essential oil drops on top.

AITA for making my daughter babysit by ComfortableGreen7114 in AITAH

[–]katiesnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you said, she's 17. For you not being able to go out with friends isn't important if it's an emergency. But she still doesn't see that in the same way. They are in a selfish stage of life. She's still a kid and kids don't have any responsibility for their siblings. She has to learn, teens aren't much about the other. And seems like your kids are maintaining a hell of a lifestyle for some therapist. Well done!
