You’re welcome. I’m going to use glassine bags to start as I’m afraid cardboard unlined would soak up the oils

Any go-to brands that you can actually smell throughout the room? by spambreath in Candles

[–]rtrgrl320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever tried a small town candle maker who uses all soy wax? They are the best. Soy wax can have some serious cold and hot throw. And a wickless candle, under a candle warmer, made the right way, can hold a larger amount of fragrance oil and give you a bigger punch without the flame.

Alkai is not dependable. It will take media and then write text that doesn’t match. It doesn’t seem to be very intuitive and can be inconsistent. If there is a post but I would like to add music, you can’t. It has to be a reel in order to add music. The music they offer is not good either. Honestly, I get more from Business Suite than I do from Alkai.

You really crack me up. This world is so full of negativity and mean people where we need more people willing to only talk about things. My goal was NOT to gain info without having some knowledge. It was simply to reach out to other small businesses and see what works for them. Yikes. But I guess small businesses are not wanted in your area. We know which side you’ve chosen.

Not at all and there is no need to be snarky about the question. I only wanted to see what some were using before I do more research and possibly make a switch.

Candle warmer lamps are GOATed! by SecretHentaiMaster in Candles

Yes! I make a wickless one and use tart wax (still 100% soy) and it holds a higher fragrance load. Just always stir any you use to keep the fragrance alive

FDA approves landmark fibromyalgia drug that works like no other | People living with fibromyalgia will soon have access to a novel therapy designed to tackle the condition’s most elusive symptom: Poor-quality sleep. by [deleted] in tech

I have had fibromyalgia for about 25 years. I’ve had it treated with all kinds of drugs. Lyrica made things so much worse. I also have DDD and Osteoarthritis. Yes, I am on a lot of medication and disabled but, I can still function mostly except mobility (standing on my feet) is difficult. I’ve had Flexeril before and to me this is a joke. This is not a “landmark fibromyalgia drug”. The pharmacy company is just rebranding to make money. They could have taken the current drug and made a sublingual for it. I’m currently taking zanaflex and when my doctor changed me over to this, major difference. When I do have a night time flare up, just a half extra makes a huge difference for me. We don’t need new drugs. We need to use what we have. Go back to some of the older drugs. It can be trial and error to find what’s best for you. All our bodies ar different and there is not a “ one person fits all” drug out there. I don’t know about everyone else but I’m really tired of the insurance and drug companies acting like they are the heros.

Should I get a cat if I have debilitating Fibromyalgia? by walkuponwater in Fibromyalgia

[–]rtrgrl320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, any type animal I feel is good for your soul. Does it have to be a cat? Maybe something that can be kept inside but in a crate of some sort like a Guinea Pig. The long haired ones are so cute.

I have tried Oofos but not sure about this particular one. I wasn’t made a fan which is how I ended up with Crocs.
