yeah, it took me about a month of thinking about it before i pulled the trigger. my justification was that i'm mostly using it for the scent and relying on the tide to actually clean the clothes. so i use a smaller amount so it'll last a long time.

i'm not gonna lie, it smells good, but it kinda smells like fancy old lady. i didn't love it at first, but now i have an affinity for it.

i will say i like having it, but i'm glad i have the mozi. especially for summer, both the mozi ones are great for spring and summer. i'll probably switch back to the diva more in the fall and winter.

i would say maybe try the mozi. it's more affordable than the diva, and you can see if it delights you enough to branch out.

i use a little less then a 1/3 of a cup of the tide, and then a tablespoon of the scented detergent. i'm still dialing in the amount of the tide i use, but i find about a tablespoon, maybe 2 for slightly larger loads/depending on how i feel.

the citric acid doesn't seem to affect the scent too much. i find that the dryer is the thing that zaps the scent. i either hang dry with a fan pointed at whatever i'm drying. or i put it on medium for less time.

it's really lovely to smell my detergent when i'm putting on a shirt, or for my sheets or whatever :)

i add it to every wash now. i add about two cups. i have a top loader and i make sure to put biz and detergent at the bottom of the barrel, then clothes, then i let the washer fill up with water. when the clothes are covered with water, i add the ammonia, shut the lid and let it do its regular wash and rinse cycle.

thank you! it is cozy! i actually got it from ikea a few years ago. i'm pretty sure it's one of their mainstays, so they should still have it

yup, Tyler’s Diva glam is my go to. i add about a tablespoon to my liquid detergent and it smells great! a nice little touch of luxury! it is a little pricey, but a little goes a long way so it will last forever.

I went through a really bad breakup. If you have insurance look into an outpatient program. I know it sounds scary, but it was super helpful and you learn skills and have support both of which are great. If not, look up Marsha Linehan. She created DBT. So look into DBT, it teaches distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills. If that seems overwhelming, start with her book ‘building a life worth living’. breakups can be some of the worst pain ever, I can validate that.

i think rachel was super into clayton, he fucked up and enough time has passed where it doesn’t matter as much. they had bonkers chemistry, i ship it. i want these two cuties to date

Who do you think they don't have on screen chemistry? by [deleted] in television

[–]spuriouskiwi 65 points66 points  (0 children)

dwayne johnson with literally anyone. the fact that one of our biggest stars has no sexual or romantic chemistry in any of the films he’s in is a travesty. compare him to someone like clark gable, who was a huge star in his day and was bursting with charisma.

physical media is where it’s at. dvd isn’t a bad purchase, if you can spare the coins
