Not one flowering bud but two

Not one flowering bud but two

So how long does the Venus fly trap flower and bloom? And do I need to cut it off when it’s a stalk to propagate it or let it grow into a flower and harvest the seeds? I mean I’m still trying to navigate taking care of a Venus fly trap. But it’s pretty cool.

I feed it a fly since I saw an open mouth.

Flowering bud on my VFT?

Could this be a flowering bud on my Venus fly trap? Or maybe it might be new leaves growing. Sometimes I wonder how I’m taking care of this thing but it’s been an interesting journey so far I also had a massive fly problem in my house so I managed to feed it flies.

A Terrible Price

Bee’s Knees Lacquer - A Terrible Price

I just got it in the mail today. So long story I was trying to search for a dupe for Sinful colors, Daisy the Pig and was recommended this shade. I did see it was out of stock before but when I searched it again it was in stock but only 40 left. So I was tempted and bought one.

The other one I thought to get was Zoya, Selene and at the time I didn’t know which one to get.

Welp it’s still a beautiful teal great nonetheless it’s kind of bright with a blue to olive green shift to it.

So is this a good dupe for a Daisy the pig or what other shades do you recommend?

Venus fly traps are endangered?

Was stumbling across this video only to find out they’re endangered me feel a bit guilty owning one. Since I bought mine at a grocery store which they don’t sell anymore.

I know they’re native to North Carolina but I didn’t think they’re a endangered species 🥺

Just feeling bored and nothing gives me joy anymore

Just like the title says. I’m currently on my bed with nothing to do. And I don’t even feel I want to do anything not even wanting to do my hobbies like painting nails or playing Stardew valley. I’m not even into pottery like I once was before. I just wake up go home and lay in bed on my phone. Is there any hope in life at this age(35)? I’m just mentally exhausted and haven’t taken my vacation yet nor a day off. I can’t even find an excuse to. It’s like nothing matters to me anymore. I even have to censor my posts or else it’s going to be taken down. I’m so fed up right now.

First Venus fly trap

I bought it at lidl on Sunday. We’ll see how I do. But I’m open for suggestions. Since this is me being a first time carnivorous plant mom.

It’s fascinating how carnivorous plants have a whole different set of rules compared to regular plants.

Friendship is a myth

I’m (35) not saying my gender because I don’t want to. Just like the title says friendship is a myth where most friendships are one sided and no one cares about me. Sometimes I just feel a sadness that I can’t open to anyone anymore and nothing works and I’m just on my phone all the time. I don’t know if things will get better and I know I’m not the most social person and I can’t socialize to save my life like I used to and sometimes I don’t know how I feel when people are super friendly I feel like they have an agenda and will pressure into to things you don’t want to do. I guess I’ve always been like this where I can’t open up to anyone like I used to. I always felt alone all my life like I have no one to relate to. And I can’t even think positive like I used to. I don’t even date or look for friendships anymore. There’s no hope anymore.

Can we all agree Lindsay Lohan’s nails were iconic in the 2010s

And I don’t mean the obscenity on the manicure

Eggplant Parmesan

I did make it but not from the book but it inspired me to try to make Parmesan I have a fear of deep frying things in the pan. Did you always follow the recipe from the book or do you modify it more to your liking? And how much do you modify it?

Frog Nails 🐸

I’ve seen the algae reflection pool nails going around and I was somewhat inspired for this 4th of July. So I painted frog nails which I had on my mind for a while.

Polishes:
Pop arazzi: Mint for more, retro remix
Sally Hansen Insta Dri: Black on Black
Sally Hansen xtreme wear: white on
Olive and June: Jam Please
MC speed demon top coat
OPI natural nail base coat

Yes I’m aware there’s a bit of a smudge when I applied the top coat I’m not happy about it but I’ll live.

Lucky Lunch 🌟

Second recipe made in the cookbook. I did forget avocados but it was still good. It was challenging to cut the star shape tortilla but still a fun dish to do. I even made an imperfect star instill I wanted to make a stencil to make the star. The onions were challenging to cut. What other recipes have you all try to make?

Stars toppers with magnetic polish

Mooncat, 404 Soul Not Found and Pop arazzi, Reach for the stars. I just painted now.

Wanting to try both the glass bead technique and then topping it with glitter starry polish. Might be a bit too excessive.

It’s kind of hard to see the gold on top of the magnetic polish.

The star glitters were interesting to place which I placed with a toothpick.

I hate this

I’ve felt angry since last night. And I wanted to go for a walk and get pads. Then my mom wanted me to help her cook but it’s with all the criticizing and saying I never learn I can’t do anything right I never work. Yet I worked hard at my job and she doesn’t consider that as work. It’s like she’s doesn’t acknowledge that and when I try to help. It’s like what’s the point of doing anything. I can’t even calm down yet I contain most of my anger. I am really having the urge of wanting to move out and wanting to living on my own. And I know my mom will discourage me to do that like she has discourage me on a lot of things. And she wonders why I’m so angry all the time even though I’m not an angry person. I’m shaking and I know I have to deal with work today too. I don’t even know anymore. I’m just done. I’m sick of being everyone’s punching bag. I hate it so much.

I don’t fucking care anymore

I don’t care anymore. I’m done. I don’t think my life matters. I’m just gonna have to go through the same old crap tomorrow. I have to deal with this all myself, and I don’t have anyone to really talk to about it nor you know they wanna talk about it because it’s so goddamn busy. I don’t know if there’s like a God or fate is out there just show me a sign to keep moving because I know people don’t care about what I go through and I don’t have anyone to talk about my problems too, and I don’t even know about therapy and I’m just sick of going through this whole cycle of being Done. This is why I feel like I wanna quit, but I feel like if I quit then I’m gonna be jobless and unemployed and therefore will be in a more miserable position. No one understands what that’s like. I’m just there. I’m just sitting duck. I don’t know. I can’t even take people venting to me anymore like I’m even starting to lose it. I don’t even know if I’m gonna last long maybe in this life I’m just I’m just done. I’m so done. I have a freaking headache. I feel like I wanna scream and people don’t even know what the hell I go through. I don’t even know if I can keep going and I think it’s the dynamic like what kind of dynamic is this unless if I just somehow managed to like pull through or like be resilient and maybe for a time I used to be pretty resilient but nowadays it’s like bombarding and it’s like one thing after the other that I have to freaking take care of and I’m like what the hell is this? What is this like I hate this entitlement of people I don’t know. I wish there was a way. I could just not be angry today just everything sucked and also I think I’ve been burnt out for a while now since last year I mean even this year just a lot of crap just happened and it’s like I don’t even know if anyone’s OK or not yet I just feel like I don’t really care anymore. I don’t fucking care.
