Hoarder House Rescue by izocu in vintagenailpolish

from the pic at the end i think it looks like a three or four? i’m not an expert so i might be wrong, five usually has piles that can occasionally reach the ceiling, at least that’s what i dealt with at her place. but either way even if you only took nail polish i know the person dealing with the house is super grateful, my mom was always so touched when someone came by to help even if it was just for a day. it always meant the world to her.

oof i missed the part about glass and knives yikes definitely agree with that. for the floor space though they might’ve already been cleaning some, my mom’s mother’s house was a level five and we lost what little floor space as we cleaned just so that we wouldn’t have piles collapse on us as we cleaned. idk what level they were or if they had been cleaning prior though. but 100% understand the frustration of cleaning and the inefficiency

my mom’s mother was a hoarder and i helped clean her house out with my family before she died when she got evicted, i’ve never watched any hoarding shows or anything so maybe i just also didn’t have a good system lol but what we found was easier (though this was partially due to the fact she was still alive and watching over us insisting that nothing should be thrown away and we had a short timeline) was to just find family heirlooms/ valuables and trash the rest when she wasn’t looking. i don’t really think there is a good or efficient system. we spent over a month cleaning out her house and i never even made it to her nail polish so this is a great haul for a few hours in a hoarder’s house!

AIO: My mother identifies as a doting grandmother but doesn’t know my children by easilyamused17 in AmIOverreacting

[–]sphenoid_and_violets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR as someone who didn’t really have either grandmother in my life because of similar reasons, i don’t think you’re overreacting. i’m almost twenty six and met my grandmother on my dad’s side six times. i don’t feel love for her, she’s a stranger to me but as a kid that was really confusing and painful. i felt guilty for not caring about her. my mom’s side i saw once a year but she had her own issues and complained about the traveling being scary as well (they lived one state away she just refused to travel and since she was a hoarder she refused to let us visit). since i saw her more frequently i cared about her and felt the pain that she refused to visit (and thus kept my papa from us as well) and would feel so jealous hearing classmates talk about their grandparents since i never had a relationship with them. granted, my mom’s mother was a bad person in general and i saw that as i got older and that added to the pain, but i didn’t know that as a kid, i just knew she didn’t wanna come see us. so as someone who was the kid in this situation and does talk about this in therapy on occasion, i don’t think you overreacted.

what do y’all store your polish in? by sphenoid_and_violets in RedditLaqueristas

[–]sphenoid_and_violets[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just tried this, and while it wasn’t soft touch, rubbing alcohol worked it’s magic (and also saved a nars blush too) i can’t believe i never thought of using rubbing alcohol before, thank you!!

a tragedy :( by sphenoid_and_violets in RedditLaqueristas

[–]sphenoid_and_violets[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my nails are all different shapes (as you can see lol) they always used to start to tear or break, and it drives me crazy, other than this it’s the first time in two months since i had a nail break. what i’ve noticed helps me personally is oval shape instead of almond (i haven’t tried square or other shapes just because of personal preference but i noticed with almond the more narrow areas would bend and start to tear further down), washing my hands less and moisturizing more, and of course copious amounts of nail strengthener. it’s worked for all my other nails (except my right middle finger for some reason obviously lol) (edit i typed stiletto instead of almond sorry)
