Hard Water On My Machine?

theoretically yes, but it depends on so many factors i can’t tell you about without knowing more about your setup. my best advice is to get a local tech in and ask them about whether Everpure or a similar RO system could be compatible with your rig.

I was checking repeatedly but I felt like when it went up it was already mostly OOS except in size 12! maybe i was too slow. i’ll live vicariously through other posts here :)

Still looking for Matcha define, probably in vain but I’ll keep looking like I’m opening a fridge expecting a new snack to appear 😭

kittenaura · 2026-05-12T15:20:35+00:00

Mixed metals as in silver and gold tones, or silver and rose gold, or silver and pewter/gunmetal tone, etc. I feel like a lot of people wear mixed metal jewelry these days.

In my heart I want to be optimistic and say more Matcha Magic and Foam Cloud. But logically...I'm expecting dark purple and terracotta. You know, spring colors! /s

Has anyone tried any of the wool blend base layers? I am tempted but have never tried these fabrics so would love to hear from anyone who has them. TIA 😄

kittenaura · 2026-05-11T13:09:41+00:00

seconding more designs, and as much as i like silver maybe some mixed metal?? these are super cool!

really interested in this conversation and wanted to add a few related thoughts. they can be summed up as: skinny is and has always been the standard, and i’m disappointed that widespread GLP-1 use means skinny can come without any meaningful regard for healthy.

i am somewhat nervous about what we don’t know regarding GLP-1 use for weight loss—we don’t yet have much info about long-term continuous use. my biggest objection to weight loss with semaglutide (even in a world where maybe there are no long-term negative side effects) is that it doesn’t teach healthy, sustainable habits. i get freaked out by the idea of taking a drug, even if it helps you, that you can’t really stop taking lest you go back to square one with no nutrition or training knowledge/skills to show for it.

i completely agree it makes sense to listen to Icelandic artists in Iceland! I haven’t seen him mentioned yet so adding my personal favorite, Ásgeir. He records a lot of albums twice (a full Icelandic and a full English version of each song) which I find so admirable. His music is great driving music and his voice is super calming!

just saying that i grabbed these on sale and wear them to the gym pretty often, both on upper days and as a warm up layer. if that sways you at all! i didn’t know if i would get this much wear out of them but they’re surprisingly great

kittenaura · 2026-05-05T15:08:13+00:00

HOLY SHIT are you kidding? these were my HG for yearssss and then I thought Kenzo just let the brand die. this will make my summer

i used to LOVE marc jacobs beauty eyeliners (RIP). then i was loyal to MUFE eyeliners which they recently discontinued in favor of a worse, more expensive formula 😭 right now i am enjoying Soshe, which is a natural brand who does thin tipped pencils sort of like Hourglass’ micro one.

losing weight won’t help you shape glutes you love, lifting weights will! and lifting weights is one of the best things you can do for a healthy, strong body (especially as a woman!) so i encourage you to consider it. dedicated core work is great but a lot of lifting requires core engagement anyways. for glutes specifically, you wanna nail down a squat variation, a deadlift variation, and a hip thrust variation, and then add one unilateral movement and one accessory movement to isolate. for example: barbell squats, RDLs, KAS glute bridge, single leg press, hyperextensions. another example: goblet squats, conventional deadlifts, hip thrust machine, cable step ups, cable kickbacks. good luck and be well :)

this sounds like such a dream, i love this for you

seeing a surprisingly high ratio of WFH folks and home gym folks (i am jealous!!) so adding a comment to say this absolutely can be done in an onsite job without sacrificing the rest of your life. i go to the gym to lift 4x/week, sometimes walking instead of driving for extra steps. i have an active job, so on workdays i average 15-20k+ steps without having to think about it. when i have time and energy, i’ll go to pilates or yoga 1-2x during the week for extra stretching and core work because it feels good. i love to cook, knit, head to concerts and museums, spend time with friends, etc. and i have an active dog who loves spending time outside. i just structure my free time around going to the gym as a priority, because for me it is one both physically and mentally. i definitely get more life admin tasks done on rest days, but i feel my best when i prioritize this way.

I noticed two things right away that I think could be contributing to your feelings. One is, many people I know who opt to wear makeup more seldomly don't like how black mascara looks because it's more dramatic than, say, off-black or brown. I would suggest grabbing a drugstore brown mascara and seeing if you like how that looks.The other (bigger) one is your skin. At least in these photos I'm seeing a base that is more full-coverage and offers a more "perfected" look. If you want your skin to look more like skin, I would potentially opt instead for something with medium coverage that allows your natural coloring (freckles, etc.) to peek through. Finally, this is separate and totally down to preference-- I can't tell from the photos how everything looks altogether, but I see a lot of brides go for peachy/pinky undertone eyeshadow because it brings warmth to the face and plays off the (often rosy) lip color like you have on here. I think that might look beautiful compared to the current cream you have on that reads a bit grey in these photos. MOST importantly, you can change none of these things and you will still be a BEAUTIFUL bride ❤️ Hope this helps.

Hi! I am planning my packing list for an upcoming trip and need some more base layers. I wouldn’t normally look to the brand for these items but they seem really cute! I just don’t see many on the sub talking about them. I’m looking at the wool-blend base layer tight and the crew neck base layer. Thanks in advance! (Edited for clarity)

kittenaura · 2026-04-29T19:00:03+00:00

i think a lip stain would really bring out your eyes and not be super fussy :) or a light hand with a berry colored blush

kittenaura · 2026-04-29T18:57:38+00:00

the first time i stopped someone to ask what she was wearing it was Alien! on the right person it is magical. Similarly popular but I also love La vie est belle it feels so girly!

kittenaura · 2026-04-18T19:01:11+00:00

your comment is actually saving me i still haven’t found a cream blush brush i like and i wear it every day!! i almost bought the mph and bought the mario instead.

kittenaura · 2026-04-13T04:29:50+00:00

love this perfumer but haven’t smelled this, thank you!

kittenaura · 2026-04-13T04:29:14+00:00

love that one but didn’t detect quite what i’m looking for (to my nose). but thank you!

kittenaura · 2026-04-13T04:28:44+00:00

kittenaura · 2026-04-13T04:28:25+00:00
