My cruise is on Monday (we’re actually doing side by sides that total a week long) but I haven’t started packing yet. I have some piles, printed packing list from cruise critic and a rough idea in my head of what I’m bringing but would you consider this last minute packing? How far in advance do you start packing for a cruise?

I read that somewhere and just wanted to ask here to see if it’s true. I know some of you have been on many NCL cruises and would know. Thanks!
(I tried to search this but the search is pulling every reference to Prima instead of Prime 🤪)

The title says it all. Wondering what you all recommend especially to stand up to the salt water and blazing heat in the Bahamas. Thanks!

Edited to add- I do have sun clothing, looking for sunscreen recs for the parts not covered by the clothes.

My daughter has noticed that her Milani Make It Last spray isn’t really melting her powder and makeup together like she would want. She is a teen who works at Culver’s so she doesn’t have a high end budget to buy One Size etc. Is anyone having luck with a drugstore option I could recommend to her?

I typically buy my birds in store because I want to make sure the tail feathers aren’t wonky or the fabric isn’t messily glued in a haphazard fashion. The only ones I have ordered online are pride birds of course. I was just wondering if any of you have been unhappy with the quality of the birds you order online because waiting and buying in store is always a gamble but because I have 3 Targets I usually manage to find everyone I’m looking for, just a bit of a hassle.

I have an OL machine that I received at Christmas and only use a couple times a week (some weeks not at all.) Since I use the machine much less frequently than most users how often would I need to descale the machine? Any advice is appreciated.

Has anyone been to the new location that has opened up? I’ve seen some posts from before the official opening but I’m wondering if anyone has been in the past weeks and what the wait is like.

I have the cicapair color correcting balm and use that occasionally under my foundation. I’m interested in using a primer like Milk hydrogrip (or the ELF equivalent) because going into SW Florida summer I’m facing 100°+ days and serious humidity. I’m just not sure if I apply the primer after the cicapair or before since the cicapair is technically like skincare?

I have seen luxury brand blankets like Minky Couture but really can’t afford an expensive one for my teenager. Does anyone know of ones that feel amazingly soft like that which don’t break the bank? My daughter just can’t have enough comfy blankets.
