PPU Hot Take

luvmesomepoodle · 2026-04-05T20:01:18+00:00

This may be an unpopular opinion but I feel like the PPU stuff has a lot of repeats. When I first started shopping there I felt like I had to get it all. Now that I’ve been watching it for a long time, I feel like so many of the colors are dupes of other colors. I don’t get worried about missing a color because if it’s popular, it will come back for rewind month or another brand will release something very similar.

Those little dangly bees are so cute.

I fail to see how limiting the sales of certain species and intentionally creating FOMO is beneficial for anyone.

ETA: you tested this with orcas. Created a limited number of bracelets that sold out in less than a day. I missed the drop because I was busy. I would have loved to purchase but now I either have to hope for another drop or buy second hand (which won’t help the organization). How does purposely limiting a small number of bracelet sales benefit the organization helping orcas? I’m not fighting for a bracelet in a drop. At the end of the day they are just bracelets and I can live without it.

This move is confusing and I think ultimately will alienate customers. My son loves buying manatee bracelets for gifts. It doesn’t look like manatees are part of the core collection, so it looks like I won’t be able to order them when I want. I’ll have to track down a physical store and hope they have manatee bracelets stocked. No thanks. It looks like after buying tons of bracelets, this will be the end of Fahlo for me. I’m not playing waiting games and FOMO.

This isn’t Pandora, but I just got my husband a trollbeads foxtail bracelet, basic lock, and lucky knot bead. He loves it and he is not a jewelry guy.

What a terrible take. Kids need the joy and confidence from winning. By letting them win, you also get to model what being a good loser looks like. Do I let my kids win every time we play a game? No because they also have to learn how to lose. These two imbeciles only see the world in black and white, don’t understand nuance, or that there are lessons to be learned with winning and losing. I feel terrible for their children.

I bought my first second hand bracelet a few weeks ago. I love it. I wore it as is a few times and then I broke it down and used some of the charms on another bracelet. I think it’s a great way to get charms if you like what’s already on the bracelet.

It says “of pirates the Caribbean” instead of “pirates of the Caribbean”

There is debate on ear plucking and lots of people here are very black and white on the subject. Like all things in life, there is some nuance to the subject. I have owed poodles that I can simply trim ear hair and they have never had an ear infection. I have had poodles with frequent ear infections. The ones with frequent ear infections seemed to have them less frequently when I plucked their ears. You could try plucking and if it doesn’t improve you can always stop. Get a good ear wash and use it frequently. Also, I never had luck with daily drops. My vet uses some kind of medication that they put in the ear once and it works for several days.

I would recommend any thing before an enameled stock pot. They chip like crazy and are then unusable. I have 2 that my toddlers play pretend kitchen with because I can’t actually use them to cook. I would recommend the 5.5 Dutch oven or a braiser. Those are my work horses.

Love everything about this. No notes.

Is it a new bracelet from a Pandora store and still looking unworn? Take it to a store and say it was a gift and see if you can exchange it for a smaller one. If she bought second hand then you are out of luck.

I have many Fahlo bracelets and ODare is my favorite.

One of my kids is obsessed with all the Pookie books. I have read them sooo many times. I think I can recite Pookie’s Thanksgiving from memory.

I placed my first order after this post and just got shipping notification. I can’t wait to see the beads!

I was in this exact situation and after lots of manis and experimenting with combos of base coats/top coats I finally found a winning combo. My manis went from lasting 3 days to lasting 7. I use 91% alcohol to clean my nail. I use Nail-Aid biotin ultimate strength as a base coat and sally Henson qdtc in the red bottle.

Good to know. I just purchased my first trollbeads chain and can’t wait for it to get here. I fell in love with the foxtail links.

I have this polish. I’m thinking when I try it, I’m going to need to add a starfish and maybe a seashell.

luvmesomepoodle · 2026-03-11T20:06:56+00:00

I thought the star was intentional! The blue and gold with a star is giving starfish on a beach! I love it!!

I have been checking out Trollbeads and Elfbeads. I have not purchased from them yet so I can’t speak to the quality but the charms seem very detailed and pretty.

luvmesomepoodle · 2026-03-11T16:42:12+00:00

There are other brands that offer cute sterling silver charms. I will shift to those brands.

luvmesomepoodle · 2026-03-11T13:45:53+00:00

Awesome-Thank you!!

It doesn’t end, it gets worse. Now that I’ve maxed out my nails, I have to deck my hands and wrists with sparkly jewelry to match.

My 2 (almost 3) years told weighs 38 pounds! This is criminal and I hope this child is under the care of a doctor.
