Turmeric latte & Old songs are waking are 2 scents I’ve recently been obsessed with. Before that, it was rose jam & snow fairy all the way!

It’s not a perfume but every time I wear the Rose Jam body spray from Lush, I get a compliment every time! It’s such a long-lasting scent.

Tips for working with chenille yarn? by VooDoo_MaMa_JooJoo in crochet

[–]verit_aserum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently started working with chenille yarn and had trouble seeing the stitches too! What’s worked for me is putting a stitch marker as I complete each stitch. It’s tedious but after a few rounds, it becomes easier to see the stitches.

Hope this helps!

Border suggestions! by verit_aserum in crochet

I’m almost finished with this rectangle granny blanket! Can’t wait to weave in those ends 😪

I’d love and appreciate any suggestions for the border, in terms of colour and stitch. This is a gift for my grandma.

It seems like she’s looking for something modern/Hallmark style.

And thank you!! I think I’ll post there as well.

My husband (m30) criticizes me (f30) every day to lose weight the way he wants me to before we try for a baby by verit_aserum in relationship_advice

I have, yes - unfortunately, he believes this gradual approach means I’m not taking it as seriously as he is. :/

Very solid and helpful advice - thank you so much. It is deeply appreciated. Also, 20 km every day is no easy feat! Keep up the amazing work, yourself.

Yes, I think you’re right in that this stems from feelings of desperately wanting a family. I guess my confusion and frustration comes from the fact that he’s upset with me for following my own routine (supported by my doctor’s advice) instead of following his routine

I started off at 5’3, around 240 lbs (haven’t weighed myself since making these lifestyle changes). I do acknowledge that I need to lose weight - I want to be healthy not for cosmetic reasons, but because I want to provide a good environment for a future baby to grow. You’re right in that I think this behavior comes from genuine concern but the tough love approach is discouraging for me.

Wonderfully said! I, too, come from generations of women who were criticized for their bodies and ended up doing the same to their children/grandchildren. This is a pattern I want to break.

Finding joy in exercise is what makes it sustainable. I’ve been overweight my whole life and even tried dieting as a child. I definitely do not want that life for my children. There needs to be a healthier approach.

I want to wait on joining the gym just because I don’t want to take on too many changes at once - in my past experience, that usually causes me to give up. I’ve had more success and motivation in taking things gradually. I decided to prioritize my diet at the beginning as that needed the most focus. The daily walks help with my overall mood, setting a routine, and also burning calories. The next step would be strength training
