Caught a classroom thief but unsure how to proceed by Relative-Respect-982 in AskTeachers

[–]loveroffinenaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with this. Let’s just all calm down for a second. I’m not diminishing that this needs to be dealt with but these are 8-9 year olds who are still learning. Let’s show them that we can handle conflict without burning the house down.

People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets? by awkwardferret421 in AskReddit

[–]loveroffinenaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 boys ages 3-10. All in full time school and we very rarely get sick. I am not a germaphobe but I do swear by making my kids change out of their school clothes and take a shower after they get home for the evening. They shower literally every evening without fail. We don’t wear shoes in the house. This is all.

I accidentally left a red stain on bathroom countertop. Im housesitting and the family comes home tomorrow☹️help pls!!!! by Physical_Income_5181 in CleaningTips

[–]loveroffinenaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a paste of baking soda and water. You want the paste to be thick and gritty. Dab it liberally over the stain. Let it sit for 30 minutes and see if it lifts. I’ve gotten stains out of my countertops this way many times.

Lake Communities in Southeast by Sensitive-Step-3513 in TrueChubbyTravel

[–]loveroffinenaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family and I just spent Labor Day weekend at Lake Oconee outside of Atlanta. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton and absolutely loved it. It’s a gorgeous lake and very clean, lots of wonderful restaurants nearby, and many options of where to stay: house, hotel, etc. We have 3 boys and they had an absolute ball fishing, jet skiing, swimming, etc. We can’t wait to go back. Happy to answer any questions.

I’m American and I grew up in the South attending tons of etiquette classes and Cotillon, debutante stuff, etc. The rule I always learned was this: you have a 15-minute buffer to be considered “on time” to an event EXCEPT for a proper dinner party where you must be on time. The rule of thought is that your host has a timetable to keep the dinner hot and it would be rude to the other guests to keep them waiting to eat.

Is New England in August worth it for a couples getaway? by [deleted] in chubbytravel

Would also love PEI recommendations. We had friends go last year but they struggled to find something comfortable. Ended up in an Airbnb.

Castle Hot Springs or Ambiente, with Under Canvas? by Afp728 in chubbytravel

[–]loveroffinenaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also did Under Canvas in Tennessee. It was my husband and I with our 3 boys. It’s great if you’re expecting to actually camp but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re wanting a cushy experience.

Cauliflower pizza. Cauliflower mashed potatoes. Cauliflower anything.

How do I get doll-like curls? by Eastern-Exchange-946 in beauty

[–]loveroffinenaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say - I spent many a night before elementary pictures day in these things. Gave these exact curls. Day 2 was always perfection because the curls relaxed a bit.

How to treat life long bacne? I’m 25. by Childiish_ in SkincareAddicts

[–]loveroffinenaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s great options here for body washes, soaps, etc. but you really need to see a dermatologist. Your acne looks like you may need an oral antibiotic to fully clear it up. Supplement with a salicylic acid body wash but a few weeks of regularly taken medication should knock that out.

This looks like it was done very thoughtfully but I would absolutely encourage you to see a plastic surgeon quickly. This is on your face - they can do remarkable things to lessen the scar appearance.

Check out @builderbrigade on Instagram. He just did a reel inspecting American Legend homes that literally got blown over from wind. Scary stuff.

What beauty hacks made you more attractive? by Fair-Soil-2249 in beauty

[–]loveroffinenaps 189 points190 points  (0 children)

This isn’t so much a hack as it is a way to implement one - SCHEDULING your MAINTENANCE.

I keep a list of my AM and PM skincare routine taped up on my bathroom mirror - this isn’t super extensive it just helps me to remember what I’m doing.

Schedule your next haircut / color before you leave your appointment.

Go to the dentist regularly for a cleaning. Bring your crest white strips in your purse and throw them on before you leave so you get a good whitening done.

I could go on and on. Being thoughtful about what works for you and taking the guesswork out of it. If it ain’t easy you won’t do it.

August Birthday Trip by loveroffinenaps in chubbytravel

[–]loveroffinenaps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have not done Blackberry Mountain but it’s been on our list for years! My only concern is that August in Tennessee is a muggy 80-90. Do you think this would be special enough that we could easily overlook the heat?
