Found 2 carpet beetles last week, deep cleaned and just found a larva casing on my hung up towel. What do I do

As the title says…. I found on in our main living space crawling near the couch, I took everything apart and deep cleaned. Didn’t see any more. Went upstairs later and saw one crawling on my kids play couch. Did a deep clean of that room and didn’t see any more beetles or larvae. That was about a week ago. Went to take a shower tonight and see this casing on my towel. The towel is freshly washed & was hung on the hook. Wtf?!!!! 😭😭 what do I do about this. Where are they coming from and am I screwed lol.

Air purifier filters being “clean” when it’s time to change them

I have a large home and run air purifiers somewhat constantly. There’s one in the main living space that I move around every so often (different rooms on main level), as well as one in each bedroom upstairs. They’re all different brands (not sure why, lol). Anyway, whenever it’s time to change the filter on them, the filter is almost spotless looking? No dust, no buildup… but it’s been in there working for weeks/months. This has happened for as long as I’ve had the filters, so about a year or two.

And yes, I still have more dust in my home than I know what to do with despite having air purifiers everywhere. All of the filters are H13/14 true hepa filters. What is the best course of action here. I need help with my dust problem

I got laser hair removal done 10 years ago on my full legs. It worked great and only now have I seen some regrowth (which is amazing considering I’ve had multiple pregnancies in that time!). I was waxing the few hairs that were appearing, but I’ve been wanting to go in and get touch up laser treatments. Unfortunately laser is MUCH more expensive now than it was ten years ago 🥲 then I got a really good deal on a brand new Braun Silk Pro 5. I was so excited!! I have done two sessions on my legs and have seen results already. Then I got the bright idea to try it on my upper lip too. I’m middle eastern and have to wax every other week, and pluck in between waxes. I thought this would be amazing to get rid of my mustache more permanently. I’ve used it three times on my mustache and am already experiencing decreased growth. This week I learned about paradoxical hypertrichosis and now I’m panicking. It seems way more common than they say it is. I’m going to stop using IPL for my upper lip now and pray for the best. Someone please tell me a successful upper lip IPL story so I can stop panicking for the next few weeks while I wait for my beard to grow in.

Also, I did do an IPL session on my armpits. Am I at risk for PH if I continue to use it in that area??
