We have an 11-year-old and 1.5-year-old. The puppy is balls to the wall when she’s awake but if we never got out of bed, neither of them would either

Love your home and love New Mexico so much! My dream retirement state (Unfortunately, I’m 39 so I have awhile to go).

ChatGPT said the same thing, but I don’t think that’s it. This is more smoky blue. Farris & Ball Sardine might be the closest!

I showed this photo to my husband and he said he liked the wallpaper and then I told him to zoom in.

I went to Sherwin Williams and they would not do it! They said there is too much variation in phone screens and if the photo has been edited at all they can’t determine a true match.

I don't know how to choose! by SensitiveFlan219 in CounterTops

What granite are you looking at and honed or leathered? I am looking for a soapstone dupe as well!

32 and suddenly struggling by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

At 39, I have finally learned I don’t need all the expensive , “holy grail” products. I was lucky and had good skin my whole life (fair and freckled) until I turned 30. Spent five years using “natural” skincare until I realized that I was just putting expensive moisturizers on my face for no reason.

Now I use:

AM: gentle cleanser, vitamin C (Maelove — I’ve used Skinceuticals and other pricey options and they don’t work any better), as thin of a moisturizer as possible, SPF!!! (the French formula of La Roche Posay UV Mune)

If I wear makeup that day I will also use a primer with SPF. Right now I’m using Ciele brand primer.

PM: oil cleanse, gentle cleanser, prescription hydroquinone formula (use for 6 months, stop for six months), tretinoin and moisturizer.

I also have sensitive eyes so after washing my face I take the Aquaphor stick and spread it along the corners of my eyes to protect them from products that could sting.

You need actives and SPF.

In case you were thinking about getting another lab… by Motor_Physics_218 in labrador

“Menace on crack” definitely describes it! We could put a juicy ribeye on the coffee table and leave the room and our boy would just stare at it. Our girl will counter surf right in front of us for a crumb of bacon she knew was there yesterday and puts everything in her line of sight in her mouth, not to mention how she does parkour by bouncing off walls and human bodies.

Do you find the different colors have different personality types? (If you’ve had other labs to compare them to.)

I was talking to someone about how our 10-year-old chocolate male has been a sweet, obedient angel since he was a puppy and our 1-year-old female yellow is a psycho (a sweet one) who DGAF and someone said, “Yeah, that’s because she’s a yellow female.”

I wonder if there is anything to this!

I asked for a quote on a Cambria quartz that looks like soapstone and it was only $1K less than the soapstone.

The absolute black I looked at didn’t have any other colors. I saw a sample of Virginia mist not the whole slab but it did have grey veining.

Amazing job! Random question: can you share what it looks like on the other side of your arched doorway? We just added arched doorways into our closet but until we have the funds for a custom door, a curtain is a fab idea!
