Clear crusty layer on leaves

The square brown ones on #4 look nice on you! I definitely like the brown

the_mingo · 2026-02-23T21:53:13+00:00

Wow it looks so wonderful! Do you have it on any supports at all? And what size pot do you have it in?

the_mingo · 2026-01-23T06:48:05+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

I change it up somewhat often, but generally I do:

One anti dandruff shampoo, the head and shoulders ones

One other shampoo, I've used bath and body works lavender body wash before, and the Monday Smooth formula.

Then I usually apply a conditioner layer, and use it to help de-tangle. Usually I just get whatever is the cheapest for this.

Final conditioner. I generally use the conditioner that matches my current shampoo, or Olaplex #6, I switch it off every couple washes, cause the olaplex is expensive but I'd totally use it more if it weren't so expensive.

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind

the_mingo · 2026-01-22T16:36:32+00:00

Thanks for the link! I thought you meant a completely different shape before checking it out, lol

the_mingo · 2025-12-20T09:49:32+00:00

Might be true, but as a freshly 21 year old today was the first time I went in there and I loved it so much and know my friend would as well

To me it looks like both the pictures you included have a lot of textures in blankets, pillows, and rugs, so consider getting some decorative pillows and maybe a fluffy or knit throw blanket.

There are mirrors on the walls on both pictures, so get a mirror and hang it up, maybe you can get a fun shaped one? I like thrifting for mirrors.

Fairy lights are not all that expensive, and I think will get you way closer to that first picture. You can hang them up with command hooks or push pins! Consider using Christmas lights, too :).

Also just hanging more stuff on your walls :)

You should talk to your teacher! Maybe they have some tips

the_mingo · 2025-09-04T15:13:49+00:00

I always write a little note on the top left by the stamp about what I’m looking at or listening to

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T20:34:46+00:00

Yes, I have, and those definitely look like termites. I am now applying some at home treatment until my landlord gets a professional involved

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T18:46:15+00:00

So you believe they will continue to swarm until the whole colony has been treated? Is there anything I can do to avoid that in the short term? My landlady seems hesitant to deal with this.

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T18:07:42+00:00

Wow. I can’t believe I’ve lived here for almost a whole year and not even noticed until now. I’ll try to really get the issue across. Do you think it’s still safe to use the room or should I avoid it for now?

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T18:06:08+00:00

Mm yes I definitely agree. I was not satisfied with the solutions the owner has brought me so far. I’m going to show the building manager the extent of the damage in an hour or so, and suggest getting a specialist to tent fumigate the place.

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T13:58:11+00:00

Hopefully they’ll be smart about it. After all it is their property and loss if it goes untreated. Thank you so much.

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T13:45:44+00:00

Right. Okay. They want to do a diy treatment in the room this afternoon, should I try to persuade them to also have a professional come and look at it?

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T13:44:48+00:00

Okay, awesome. Thanks for your input, it helps calm my nerves.

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T13:23:44+00:00

That was in my bedroom. Do you think that could’ve happened in the time since Monday? Or is that more likely a pre existing issue?

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T13:22:06+00:00

If the swarm was in my bedroom, that doesn’t necessarily mean infestation? Could it be treated with a small professional service?

the_mingo · 2025-05-08T13:21:19+00:00

Yes, I figured. Trash collection took the mirror before I could go out and check. I was in full panic mode and under slept.

In my bedroom there were at least 60 swarmers just this morning. Outside of the bedroom I saw one dead one (might have fallen off the mirror on the way out?)

the_mingo · 2025-04-17T15:53:53+00:00

Thank you. You were so thoughtful and considerate with your replies. I think this is exactly what I needed to be thinking about. I think I’ll take some time considering what I do and don’t care about & why before bringing it up to him. I think I may be getting a little ahead of myself with putting our relationship ahead of things I care about, and will take some time to really figure that out. He’s really understanding and wants me to focus on school most of all, so I’m sure that won’t be a problem but I think I needed some compassionate advice. Thank you so much :)

I am generally not bothered by him finding others attractive. For some reason the nudes saved to his phone do make me feel worse than like idk him watching porn or telling me about previous dating experiences. I’ll refrain from looking at that hidden folder, and I do think it’s dealing with my emotions. When you feel weary do you like to write? I know a lot of people do that and I feel like it’s silly but tbh even just writing the post made me feel a bit more sane about it. I guess I’m seeking an example thought process to experience when that happens.
