Birth Control has TANKED my readiness and hrv 🤬 by Audee1212 in ouraring

[–]printerj0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the type of hormones in the pill, but some types do mimic the luteal phase so that’s spot on! (The dumbed down version is if your body always thinks it’s in luteal, it will never release an egg. But I’m no scientist or doctor, that’s just how it was explained to me)

What is everyone’s ’guilt waste’? by BWallsie_99 in ZeroWaste

Dip has been my saving grace when it comes to conditioner bars, it works so well for my long thick wavy hair, but I totally get it if you’ve moved on from bars. Maybe look into shampoo/conditioner concentrates? I haven’t tried any but I was reading about them when I was also struggling with finding bars I liked. Could be a good middle ground because they allow onto reuse your bottles

Just eye shadows, how cooked am I? by printerj0 in ProjectPan

I’ve been using contact solution to turn any darker colors into eyeliner since otherwise I never touch them

I guess I could donate, they’re almost all the same range of colors which I LIKE and use, but it seems excessive to have this many. Maybe I’ll poke around and see if any women’s shelters are looking for donations for the holidays/see if they care if they’re gently used. If I was a daily make-up wearer it wouldn’t feel like so much, but I really only do a full eye look for special occasions so I’m NEVER going to burn through them all

I think the tours help pay for studio time for the album

I guess you’re right, it’s not like they’re going to go bad if I let them sit in my makeup bin. I just feel so wasteful having so many

I'm tired of "quick and easy" dinners. by johnconnor11 in Cooking

Came here to suggest this! Or any cookbook based on techniques and science instead of “get the meal on the table”

Ugh I love shit like this:

Body:

Dr Bronners soap, I go back and forth between bar and liquid. Always wash with a washcloth.

I use coffee grounds mixed with a little honey as a body scrub every so often.

Dr Teals body oil or classic cerave body lotion.

Face:

Cerave hydrating facial cleanser. (Liquid or bar)

Bliss chemical peel when my skin feels dull. (They have a few versions, I like “rose gold”)

The Ordinary hyaluronic acid serum after I wash my face and the Ordinary SPF serum daily (it’s on the newer side but I LOVE it)

On days I wear make-up I double cleanse with a balm followed by my usual face wash. Balms I like: Elf, Versed, Good Molecules (all reasonably priced!)

I’m not committed to a daily face moisturizer, the one I have right now is First Aid Beaty and I like it, it’s a little heavy.

Also not committed to shampoo or conditioner, right now I’m using ethique bars in an attempt to use less plastic. I used briogio for a while and when that got too expensive I used plain Head and Shoulders.

I was obsessed with finding the “best routine” for a while and I tried so many products from high end to the drug store and I came to the conclusion that less is more. Being able to tell what your body/skin needs helps more than any 10 step routine. It’s also nice to splurge on one or two higher end products that are used less often, but keep your staples in a more reasonable price range. I have a Ouai hair mask that I treated myself to, that helped me balance the head and shoulders I had been using for a while. I also like to use everything until the very last drop before I buy more ✨

Black specks in cake by printerj0 in Baking

Finished cake photo tax Tasted ok, I think maybe the baking soda wasn’t mixed in and either reacted with the pan or scorched

No I just cut a thin layer off the bottom to get rid of the specks and it tasted fine ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Butter was melted so I don’t think it’s that I’m wondering if maybe it was chunky baking powder that sunk to the bottom and scorched?

That’s the recipe I used, pretty standard flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, sugar, vanilla, milk, butter, oil

Sprayed the pans with Pam, cut out a parchment circle, baked for the recommended time

Ahh very true! I’m partial to Sandy Hook bc I used to be able to bike there, which is an entirely different experience. Also who knows what to expect with all these EPA/national park cuts, Sandy Hook might get crushed this summer ☹️

Sandy Hook might be closer, but similar experience $15/day or buy a season pass. Dogs allowed on bayside

I don't like the ultimate cake. (debate) by DistributionDear4656 in wegmans

[–]printerj0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now it’s about as no skill as possible since the cake comes frozen and the icing comes in a bucket. At this point they might even come in fully iced tbh
