Living in bedroom, need help organizing space

Living in bedroom, need help organizing space

So my boyfriend and I live with his family and we're fairly contained to our bedroom. I'm having trouble organizing this space right here because we have our food related appliances here and they all take up a lot of space. Short of buying a new desk/surface with better storage, can y'all think of any way to better organize this space?

The main items are the microwave, keurig, warm water dispenser (for bottles), the honest box holds clean bottles, and then the blue bag has utensils and napkins and the trader Joe's box holds our pantry type food items like granola bars and sugar. We also have a hot water boiler that id like to put up but it's not entirely necessary since we have the keurig.

I thought of possibly putting shelves where the tapestry is (and relocating tapestry) but it would be somewhat high up and I wasnt sure I liked that. Another option was move the microwave to the shoe rack on the right but we use it for other things right now, like dishes/other that need to go downstairs. I could also move the mini fridge out from under the desk to put the microwave on, but then we'd lose the storage racks i have on both sides of mini fridge and I don't have a good solution for those condiment type items. I've scoured Amazon for random organization options but it mostly recommends the same common items and I dont like those. Any recommendations for any of the above would be super helpful! Thank you for reading :)

Detailed chart reading service?

I want to get a detailed chart reading done and i'm willing to pay for a service if it's got good reviews but i'm not sure where to look? I want it to be as detailed as possible and not just include what a sign means, but also how they interact with each other. For example, my sun is leo and my Venus is in cancer and I want detailed info on how those two interact and shape who I am. I want that for the whole chart. Does anyone have any good chart reading services that you recommend?? Real reviews preferred.

First mother's day and I got the worst gift

It's my first mother's day as a mom, my son was born 7 weeks ago and I just caught my boyfriend cheating. I don't even know what to do. He's a great father, genuinely. In every way, he blows it out of the park when it comes to our son. Pretty much takes care of all menial labor and will watch him all night while I sleep in addition to going to work while im on maternity leave. Shitty boyfriend, obviously lol

I think i'm in shock

New to CG routine need advice

I'm still waiting on products in the mail but I did a partial CG routine today and need advice.

Partial routine today:

• love beauty and planet shampoo blue bottle wash out

• CG approved tresemme boutanique conditoner wash out

• brushed wet hair no conditioner but fully soaked

• CG approved curls blueberry bliss leave in condioner applied thoroughly and then scrunched up towards scalp with cotton t shirt

• air dry but fans blowing due to hot room

When the leave in conditioner was applied, my curls looked like 3a curls however after drying, my hair looks 2a. I have mixed porosity (high lower half of head and low top half) and medium texture and density. I ordered noughty detox dynamo clarifying shampoo, Pacifica pineapple swirl curl cream and Maui hibiscus water shampoo. First two come tomorrow and the Maui comes monday. I plan to do a full CG routine tomorrow since I'll use noughty for the first shampoo. Can anyone share any tips or advice? I can see the potential in my hair, I just need help bringing out the curls. Thank you!

EDIT to ask: do i apply leave in conditioner before or after curl cream? I read the whole guide but I was slightly confused on that part

What exactly does it mean to be "evolved"

I see people mention how "evolved" or "unevolved" signs are different. What does that mean?

Ex. "I love an evolved leo" or "I like Sagittarius but they're terrible when unevolved"

I was perusing the help reddits and noticed that on the request a reddit sub, they will occasionally post lists of available subreddits that currently dont have active mods. I wanted to check and see if there were any that interested me but today when I went to look, I cannot find any posts on that sub offering communities. Did I imagine that post or do they actually have available subs? Where do I find them?

Throughout the whole show we hear the vampires talk about flipping the switch on their humanity. Almost every recurring vampire we see ends up flipping their switch at some point and we see real change when it's on versus when it's off. However, when we meet Rose she says that it's not real. There is no humanity switch and you realize that the older you are. Which lines up with all the older vampires we see since we don't see any vampires that are older than 300 years ever mention flipping their humanity switch. So is the humanity switch even real? If it is real, does it stop being an option the older you are?

I'm having trouble finding a night dress that is actually functional and sexy. I bought this one on Amazon and I like the way it fits my body, the sheer aspect and the feel of the fabric but it just does not hold my boobs. They spill out the sides or slip underneath the band and it just isn't working well. I looked at other options on Amazon but there's not any that have reviews proving they work for big bust. I'm a 40DDD (i'm 7 weeks post partum so this could be inaccurate) in American sizes and typically an xl and I'd prefer to not have to size up just to fit my bust. If anyone has any recommendations please send them my way!

Hello! I am having a hard time finding simple night dresses for those of us with large busts. I like a mix of functional and sexy so I can actually wear it to bed. I checked Amazon and it would seem I cannot find any cute pieces that are for the big breasted. I bought this piece and I like how it fits my body, the sheer aspect and the feel of the fabric but my boobs just don't fit. They spill out the sides or slip underneath the band and it just doesn't work.

I am a 40DDD (though I am post partum so they could be a little bigger right now) and right now I'm usually an xl (220lbs) and I like the fitted look, so I'd prefer to not have to size up to find a night dress that fits. If anyone has any proven big bust friendly night dresses, please send them my way! I'm also interested in theoretical (none proven) options, though less enthusiastic about those. I don't have a set price limit as I imagine they shouldn't be too expensive but I suppose $60 is the top of what I'd consider reasonable. I'm hoping to get a couple different options, if I can find them! Thank you!

I'm a Leo sun, Gemini moon and Scorpio rising and my partner is Sagittarius sun, Pisces moon and Scorpio rising. How compatible are we as a couple according to astrology? Is there anything major about this pairing that I should be wary about? Both of our charts are attached if there's anything y'all can tell me from that!

Also, we just had a son together. He's a Pisces sun, Capricorn moon and Aquarius rising - is there anything anyone can tell me about that?? I also attached his birth chart, it's the last one. Thank you!!

I think it has to be a million or close to a million. That would be 1,000 kills a year or 3 (2.7) a day which is more than realistic for him. There's several scenes of him killing multiple people on screen as well as many stories of him killing off screen. I'm sure in the first few years after becoming a vampire he killed much more than 3 a day. When he was first introduced, Rose said Elijah was much less scary than Klaus and we know Elijah has a high kill count as well. Also, Klaus himself said he has killed "thousands of innocent people" and that's just the innocent. We hear stories of multiple villages/towns that were massacred in the wake or the originals. I feel like it's obvious that it's in the ballpark of a million.

Spoilers

They tell us early in the show that Elena being a doppelganger is possible because she's Katherine's descendant, she's part of the Petrova bloodline. This is possible because Katherine had a baby before she was turned. We do meet Katherine's daughter and while she is a vampire and doesn't mention having kids, it is never confirmed that she didn't have kids. However, Amara became immortal with Silas. They also don't confirm whether or not Amara had kids but given the story we have about her and Silas, it's safe to assume she didn't have kids, right? How can the doppelganger be connected to bloodlines if both Amara and Nadia likely never had kids? Also, Silas didn't have kids either. So how do Stefan and Tom exist, if no bloodline exists?

I'm a first time mom and when my son was born (🥧 day) I honestly had no fear of SIDS. I knew what it was and that it could happen but I didn't think about it too much. Since being on maternity leave, i've dived into reddit in a way I never have and accidentally stumbled across a post of a mom who lost her child to SIDS. Since then, I cannot get it off my mind no matter what I do. It's hard for me to even walk away for a few minutes to use the bathroom or grab some water. I check on him constantly, I genuinely fear looking away. I prefer him to sleep on my chest so I know he's okay since I can feel him. Sometimes when I see him, visuals aren't enough and I need to actually check his breathing despite him looking fine and even having just moved moments earlier.

This morning, my fear was confirmed. I went to the bathroom for maybe ten minutes, my son was asleep in his bassinet and my partner was asleep on the bed. I came out of the bathroom and sat on the bed and had been out of the bathroom for maybe 2 minutes when my son started quietly choking in his own spit. I jumped into action and he was okay, thank God. Unfortunately now I feel 10x more paranoid and I don't know what to do. When my partner works and I'm the only one home, I don't want to leave his side for even a second. I never want to take my eyes off him. I don't want him out of my arms. How do I work through this fear? Is there anything I can do to reassure myself that he is/will be okay without physically holding him? Are there ways to prevent SIDS for a 6 week old?

Spoilers for season 6!

After Kai merged with Luke, he took on some of Luke's traits and developed some empathy. Not just pointless empathy, he actually was trying to make up for his mistakes and do better. We see him acting as a decent human and trying to right his wrongs with multiple people, although subtly and he wasn't very good at it. However, despite helping them, Bonnie still left him in the prison world because she was convinced he couldn't change. Even though he was changed against his will and didn't do any work himself, I still think the change was real and that he should have been given the chance to be a better person. I mean, there are so many other characters in the show that do bad things and they're forgiven. Why was Kai one of the only people who was treated as though it was impossible for him to change even though he was changed by magic?

This is so confusing. Growing up, my mother matched about 75% of narcissistic traits. I have siblings, but due to our circumstances I was pretty much raised like an only child so I am both my mothers golden child and her scapegoat child. Until the last 3ish months, she has treated me as she did when I was a kid. It was very hard to talk to her even on the phone. We live in different states now that I'm an adult so we would go weeks without talking but when we did, we would end up having a disagreement over the phone more than half the time.

Well I ended up getting pregnant and I don't know why, but it would seem like this drastically changed her. About a month before I gave birth, we had a long heart to heart on the phone and she didn't mention anything specific, but she actually apologized for how she treated me growing up. She has since apologized two more times, again not mentioning any specific events but a generalization about how she wish she had treated me better. I was shocked. I didn't know what to say. This woman has never acknowledged anything she's done wrong existed before, let alone apologize for it. It's polarizing because on the one hand I'm so happy to have the mom who I can talk to and will listen to me and she gets it but also I'm still so mad at her for how she treated me growing up and I feel like the other shoe will drop any second but it's been three months and she's still this person.

I just don't know what to do. I'm throwing all my chips in and trying to forgive her or at least forget what she did and attempting to have a closer relationship but I feel like this is a mistake and I need to be careful. What's gonna happen when the floor drops out from under me and I turn into that little girl who was so sad all the time? I just had my first kid and I'm so vulnerable right now and I've always wanted my mom to be like this. I guess I just want someone to tell me if it's real or not. I don't want to get my hopes up and invest in nothing if this is temporary. I want so badly for her to actually have changed but is it even possible for a narcissist to change?

[Trigger Warning]

Unfortunately, my first ever snake passed away today. His name was Momiji but we called him Miji and he was a great snake. He was a banana pie and from day 1 he was tolerant of handling. He was the snake that made me fall in love with snakes and I will always love him. My favorite thing was when he'd just chill in my lap under a blanket, seemingly content. I'm really going to miss him.

Now the question I have is how to lay him to rest in the best way? I considered preserving him but honestly I just don't want to. I can't bury him in the yard because it's rocks and hard dirt, no place to really be able to dig. So how can I lay him to rest in a respectful way? He deserves nothing but the best.
