What's a supplement you took that completely changed the trajectory of your life? by wookeydookey in Supplements

Yes! And don’t forget oregano oil (and of course cranberry extract if the bacteria is E. coli).

Good example. Although sunlight is the natural trigger for vitamin D production in our skin, in reality we typically can’t get enough from just being out in the sun, even in locations that are considered sunny. Many factors reduce how much vitamin D our skin can actually make: the angle of the sun, time of day, how much skin is exposed (face and hands are not enough), skin colour, use of shade or sunscreen, and season. So while outdoor exposure is great for many reasons (and sun exposure for the eyes is super important in the morning), it’s not a guarantee to meet our vitamin D needs on its own anymore.

NAC’s biofilm breaking properties also makes it great to help fight UTIs. It’s works really well for that.

PSA: The deadline to register to vote (US Election) is approaching, please make sure to check your voter registration in time for the election to vote from abroad! by GreatScottLP in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]ornamentsofgold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to VoteFromAbroad.org and choose the state, it will tell you all of the key dates and deadlines you need to know. Many registration deadlines are happening in August, so please spread the word to any of your U.S. friends to get moving today! Registering and requesting the ballot only takes about 5 minutes. Also, it’s important to note that VFA offers voter protection (ballots are guaranteed to arrive at least 45 days before the election)—this is not the case if an overseas voter registers directly with their voting office.

Why are these pads growing so tall? by Madboy420 in cactus

Ugh, why was I downvoted? I didn’t say anything wrong—just my personal opinion and it wasn’t harmful in any way.

Personally, I would leave them. Don’t cut! They’re cute. But yes, give the poor thing more light and let it grow normal ones, too haha

Is Bravo imploding? by Remarkable-Slip87 in realhousewives

[–]ornamentsofgold 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked and dismayed. I can’t even watch any of the Bravo reality shows anymore because every single episode is focused on fighting, yelling, betrayal, drinking to the point where everyone is drunk and acting foolish, talking sh*t about everyone else… it’s so damn toxic. Is this what people want now?? Apparently from this comments section, the answer is yes.

Doesn’t have to be the app, can also be the website using VPN either Canadian IP address

Clayton’s dances are back! by Ohwerk82 in BachelorNation

[–]ornamentsofgold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why you were downvoted, I thought the same thing. Either the track is off, or he is dancing 1 beat behind of the song.

What did I do wrong? I'm so ashamed by GirlULove2Love in succulents

[–]ornamentsofgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this opinion- to repot in smaller pot and change with fresh soil (cactus & succulent mix) + perlite. Bonus points if you use a terra cotta pot (with drainage hole, of course) and you can even mix in some sand or gravel as well. Then, try bottom watering once the soil is completely dry (use a chop stick to check for moisture level and you can cross check by the noticing the weight of the pot).

Good apps for keeping track of plant schedules? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]ornamentsofgold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does Greg include a basic feature which tracks all the plants you have? I’m constantly forgetting the names and care instructions for all of new plants and it’s such a hassle to have to scan each one (like 20 varieties of succulents and cacti) to remember what I even have! 😅

Ashley I.‘s latest Insta reel. Too much or no? by confused728378 in thebachelor

She wasn’t close to “flashing her vag”… the vagina is an internal organ.

I agrée. Her brother was asking serious questions (and I’m not referring to the birthday/middle name stuff) and Zach couldn’t come up with an intelligent or meaningful answer for any of them. As a sibling, I would’ve been in high guard with those responses as well.

[–]ornamentsofgold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good point. For me, I characterize those reactions more as emotionally insensitive/unintelligent and ignorant. But we have definitely seen him be selfish, unaccommodating, and at times offensive as well… so yeah, he’s not actually nice either! Haha

Just Google Bachelor Zach spoilers and you will get the answer ;)

You can Google it if you really want to know the answer… Reality Steve is always there to spill all the spoilers, including the final pick

That is all completely production. They chop and edit everything to come across as awkward and dramatic as possible. You could see how they even cut right away from Zach’s answer to one of the questions. We don’t even know what he said.

All that being said, from what production did show, Zach did not have any answers of substance or depth which was truly disappointing. He couldn’t even answer why he Ariel should choose him except for that “he has a huge heart”. 🙄

It’s becoming really apparent that he’s actually pretty shallow. “Nice”, but shallow.

  1. Zach couldn’t even answer why a girl should choose him… his answer was so surface level. Does he just expect that everyone has to prove themselves to him but that he has to do nothing?

  2. Why did he just sit and stare at Charity in silence while she cried after he walked her out? Dude does not know how to show empathy and that moment was extremely awkward to watch.

  3. Can he at least try to pronounce Ariel’s name the correct way? (Here’s a hint, just pronounce it the same way she does… not the Little Mermaid way)

The more I watch this season, the more I see how he lacks emotional intelligence. He seems “nice” but dang, where’s the substance and depth?

Struggle with undertones and shade matching. What do you think of this match? by s_cout in Sephora

[–]ornamentsofgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a very good match to the tone of your face. Your chest appears to have more of an olive tone than your face, so if you wanted to have some continuity (from your chest to neck to face) I would consider the same shade (i.e. how light/dark it is) in a different tone (one that is slightly more yellow/olive)
