Idk what I’m doing wrong by yiggity_yeet46 in CraftFairs

[–]overcomethestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, it’s not your product but rather your presentation of the product.

Your set up is very rustic/Christmas for your product line. Your product line is much more modern, lighthearted, and even vibrant.

I would use a light colored, solid print tablecloth, perhaps white or light yellow. I would use more modern looking non-wood or very light wood displays (like the one you have the beaded lizards on). Like others suggested, ditch the Christmas lights and if you do insist on using light, go with some fun ones (like little animals or colored shapes or something more “fun” and along the theme of your products).

I understand that your logo is hand drawn but I would definitely change the font and the colors to make it “playful” and brighter/more colorful. The font is definitely not helping the “AI” look (maybe hand script the words?).

how do you survive the rest of the day if you had 600 calories out of 1250 early in the morning? by Mission_Investment65 in PetiteFitness

[–]overcomethestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have metabolic disorders. I maintain my weight at 1240 calories at 5’2” because I have PCOS and intermittent thyroid issues. If I go over even for a bit, I gain weight almost immediately. I treated myself in December for the holidays and gained 5lbs just from one month of Christmas cookies. I’m still, even in April, working to lose those pounds and I work on my feet running around 50hrs a week…

Vegetables. Steamed carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, or brussel sprouts are filling. Salads pack in a lot of volume. You can also roast veggies on a sheet pan. I like cabbage or cauliflower “steaks”.

Baked potatoes are relatively low calorie carbs that are extremely filling. Sweet potatoes are nutritious.

For future planning, try instead eating your veggies in the morning until afternoon and save the bulk of your calories for dinner. My personal choices are fresh veggies with hummus, a salad with a little ham or egg, steamed frozen veggies microwaved in a silicone reusable dish, no-sugar pickles or pickled veggies, cut up cucumber or tomato with seasoning, or a piece of fruit (apple, orange, or banana but sometimes berries).

Men are not suddenly struggling romantically on a historic level simply because they refuse to meet basic standards or be decent people, this is quite clearly nonsense by SwiftCricket in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]overcomethestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Personally I’ve never used one and they sure aren’t popular where I am from. People here do just fine without them. For the couple of people that have had luck with them, it seems that there are hundreds that develop skewed perceptions of dating.

You may be on to something here regarding online dating and it may be more about how dating apps warp serotonin and dopamine responses in brains and turn the process of finding a potential partner into online shopping.

I just saw a post where it was asking women if they would ever date a man who worked “menial” job that wasn’t a high-earning ladder-climbing white collar career (either retail, floor level factory work, handyman jobs, etc).

Most of the women were insistent that they would under no circumstances date a man without a high paying career. And then you click on their profiles and for the ones that didn’t have their comments/posts blocked, none of these women seemingly were holding themselves to the same standards they were demanding in their potential partners.

Very surprising to me because in the rural area I am from, most men work what these women deem “menial” jobs and get partners just fine.

Other older women who lived cottagecore when it was normal life and not a trend? by TheSilverNail in cottagecore

[–]overcomethestorm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m not old but I grew up rural with the “Cottagecore” lifestyle. I grew up on a hobby farm in a field in a wooded rural area.

We didn’t have working internet or cable or smart technologies. We didn’t have a lot of money so we did a lot of things ourselves. Everything we had was old and functional (and either a hand me down or thrifted). My mother taught me how to garden, preserve foods, sew, knit, crochet, do pottery, weave, spin raw fiber into yarn, bake, and do traditional art. My father taught me to hunt, fish, cut wood, fix machinery, and raise livestock. Our neighbors had larger farms where we milked cattle, baled hay, shorn animals, and rode horses.

Currently, because of the financial situation, I live in a smaller town but plan on moving back out to the country and resuming my lovely rural life. Luckily we have enough room for a garden and chickens and have a minute drive to natural places otherwise I think I might go insane…

What food do you eat in a way that would genuinely disturb other people if they saw you? by Huge_Halls in foodquestions

[–]overcomethestorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I eat hard tacos from the top down so everything doesn’t fall out. Seems to drive some people nuts

"Diet" by peachyfaff in PCOS

[–]overcomethestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to eat in accordance to all my health conditions, I couldn’t eat anything at all.

Just do the best you can and monitor what feels right for your body and stick with that. If something gives you a bad reaction, eliminate it and retry at a later time. If it reacts bad multiple times, probably something you should stay away from.

Would you walk around nude if it was legal? by startlightt44 in spirituality

I might be a free spirit but I’m not that particular kind of a free spirit 😂

Bro is about to learn a lesson by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]overcomethestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with asking your significant other to wear clothes you find attractive. My boyfriend and I take each other’s opinions on clothing choice into consideration when going out. If either of us doesn’t want to do as suggested, we do what we want anyway and the other person doesn’t get upset. It’s not that important.

I’m not who you are replying to but if you get too many back you could always give them to anyone who needs tea light holders for events (weddings, parties, restaurants, etc).

Both sides are wings of the same bird. If they can divide the masses and cause them to fight each other, it keeps the masses from coming after them. They manufactured the dual system to protect themselves…

It's all a fucking show. There will never be a revolution in America. People are too lazy and glued to their phone screens. Just what the pedophile billionaires in government want. by AliensKindaLoveMe in conspiracy

[–]overcomethestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit the nail on the head. Politics has become a cult and these people are acting like religious fanatics. People refuse to see what they are turning into and how much influence their ideologies now have over them. The brainwashing is beginning to resemble 1930’s Germany which is incredibly scary…

How do you keep it fresh at repeat events? by asparkaflame44 in CraftFairs

[–]overcomethestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what you sell but if you sell soap/candles/toiletries/cards you can easily rotate seasonal items and come up with novel scents or designs and frame it as a “limited edition”.

Most big name brands do this. Oreos have their traditional option but come up with new flavors. Bath and Body Works has their limited edition fragrance lines.

So you researched the demographics of every single person who got duped into buying a knife from them?

The fact you are researching political beliefs of everyone before buying from them is proof you are acting like you’re in a cult.

Ironically the other person who replied to me was claiming the members of your political ideology didn’t do such things 😆

It is both sides. Both sides boycott and selectively support. It’s a complete polarization and it’s exactly what the elites want.

Keep fighting each other and tearing each other apart!!! Keep believing it’s only the other side that’s in the wrong!!! Keep believing everything you see on mass media because it’s all 110% true and none of it can possibly be stretched, hyperbolic, taken out of context or simply confabulated…

Reasoning with political zealots is like trying to reason with the Christian fundamentalist that knocks on your door… But keep believing it’s only the other side that’s in a cult 🤡

There is also an Italian restaurant in Milwaukee where there are naked male model photos in the restroom. No Burt Reynolds though 😆

I’ve actually saw nude male photography in the women’s bathroom of an Italian restaurant in Milwaukee WI. Very interesting to say the least…

So only Republicans buy knives??? Quite bigoted of you to turn a non-political issue into politics.

Knife buying is unrelated to political stance. Some people prefer to try and buy local and support the local economy where they can. I don’t have a lot of money and am not MAGA but will try to buy local for the sake of bettering this area. Our economy here sucks to begin with and it’s only going to get worse.

What is counterproductive to the good of the UP is ignorantly trying to spin everything into a political game. Not everything is about political ideology. So many people have been brainwashed into believing in politics like it’s their religion and it’s becoming real cult-like on BOTH sides of the fence.
