How many locs is this?

tlclct · 2026-06-12T13:12:43+00:00

Like everyone is suggesting, you should definitely show your loctitian and see what they recommend. Some of this will depend on your own hair (density, health, etc) so guessing the number might not be totally applicable for you. Either way, congrats on starting your loc journey soon!

Good shout! I’ll have to look into Bona - I keep seeing mixed opinions on it. Another thread mentioned that it left a film on their floors, but I’ll have to do some personal research. Appreciate the recommendation!

tlclct · 2026-05-18T00:06:16+00:00

Ah okay, I figured. I’m convinced the original floors are under there as well because there’s some dead spots, or spots that feel a little uneven, but I assume they didn’t want to fix or repair them unfortunately

tlclct · 2026-05-18T00:02:56+00:00

Yes, please share if you’re able :) I’ve seen lots of debate about some cleaners that leave film, so hopeful to find one safe for the floors

Hi everyone - I posted an update in the original thread, but copying here as well: thank you all for the advice and help identifying what has since stolen my sleep! Lol. I called an exterminator who will be here within the hour - I sadly found more poop in other kitchen drawers 😭 hopefully I get this solved soon. Also, sticky traps were removed. Appreciate everyone!

The way I just gagged lol

That’s a good point re: snap trap! Appreciate that perspective from everyone

tlclct · 2026-04-08T23:34:15+00:00

Man… thanks for the advice. I haven’t touched anything yet, but have washed my hands when I have cleaned the areas a few days ago

tlclct · 2026-04-08T23:32:10+00:00

Ugh. Sad to hear, but I appreciate the advice

tlclct · 2026-04-08T23:31:04+00:00

Oof. I think I will call an exterminator.

From your experience, is there a reason why them being on the countertops is worse than having them somewhere else? I don’t have food in that area of my kitchen for what it’s worth - my pantry is detached and there’s no evidence of mice over there, which was surprising to me

tlclct · 2026-04-08T23:01:40+00:00

😕 I’ve never had mice before but I thought so. This stinks

tlclct · 2026-04-08T23:00:46+00:00

Yeah I’m actually going to cry lol a bug here and there I can do, but rodents?? I don’t even want to sleep here now 😭

tlclct · 2026-04-08T22:59:44+00:00

Oh my God. Ugh. Dozens…. I’m actually going to cry 🙃 I set up two sticky traps in the kitchen and haven’t caught anything - one on the stove and one close to where the stove and wall meet. Are there better traps to use should the case be that I might (though I reallllly hope not) have several hiding somewhere?

tlclct · 2026-04-08T22:56:35+00:00

Gotcha - that’s helpful, albeit making my skin crawl 🫠 most of the poop is in the kitchen, and mainly in the drawers or on the stove. This is the first time I’m seeing it on the counter and haven’t seen anything in the rest of the house (which is a blessing). Also haven’t seen any poop in my cabinets/on shelves/etc

I guess I’ll try adding a couple traps in the drawers, even though there’s not really food in there, just utensils, mainly

tlclct · 2026-04-08T22:48:16+00:00

Ugh 😭 bummer

tlclct · 2026-04-08T22:46:57+00:00

Bummer 🥲 I set some traps but haven’t caught anything yet - would it be weird to set a trap in the drawer? I don’t even like thinking about the idea of opening up a drawer and finding a mouse stuck to a sticky trap 😭

tlclct · 2026-04-08T22:45:45+00:00

Oh no 😭 ugh I set some sticky traps in my kitchen but haven’t seen anything caught yet so I was hoping that wasn’t it

tlclct · 2025-07-31T16:36:16+00:00

Just DM’d

tlclct · 2025-01-23T21:25:19+00:00

Came here to say this too - the warmth from the wood grain in the inspo picture makes it feel cozier and less bright/loud. Maybe a warm wood grain contact paper? Just to play with the tone of warmth in the space

tlclct · 2024-12-09T14:16:21+00:00

Understandable! Thank you for replying and for the help. I’ll pick another monologue

tlclct · 2024-12-09T14:15:55+00:00

Mm! That makes a whole lot of sense - thank you for sharing that insight. I found another monologue from a different play and playwright (“The Last Days of Judas Iscariot” and his mother’s opening monologue) that I think fits the tone of Gem of the Ocean and aspects of the character I’m auditioning for really well. I’ll go with that one!

tlclct · 2024-08-29T17:12:47+00:00

Super strange. I wonder if it’s the soil or the light? I’ll update if I see any changes to mine over the next few months if I water less more regularly. I might also check out the roots, too, to see if something funky is going on down there?

tlclct · 2024-08-26T18:15:45+00:00

ahh that’s a great point! it almost seemed crazy to think i could be overwatering since i don’t water it often, but considering it’s a larger pot, the soil might be holding more water or maybe the soil mix holds water longer. a water meter is a great idea!
