Blow dryer with diffuser attachment needed

I’m looking at Conair, Revlon, or Hot Tools on Amazon because I want to keep the price under $75.

I don’t remember when I last owned a blow dryer that came with a diffuser. I’ve tried a couple from thrift stores that came with a concentrator nozzle. I bought a sock diffuser, a collapsible diffuser, & a so-called universal type, but they never fit right. I wasn’t going to buy dozens more of aftermarket diffusers to try & find any that fit. So I’ve air-dried since then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Routine:

I wash my hair whenever it’s oily at the roots. I don’t know how often that it is. I use Kirkland Moisture Shampoo. It doesn’t have sulfates. Sometimes I use the Bed Head Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo if I don’t want to walk around with a wet head. About once a month I use JOICO Defy Damage Detox Shampoo & Protective Conditioner.

If my hair feels dry, I condition with Biolage Hydra Source detangling solution after a shampoo. I also have AVEDA nutri plenish leave-in conditioner & Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Leave-In Conditioner I sometimes use.

For styling, I sometimes use either Deva Curl Ultra Defining Gel or Camille Rose Curl Maker Marshmallow & Agave Leaf Extract that I have travel bottles of. I recently decided to try Kitsch Air Dry Cream. And other times I might use Catwalk Texturizing Salt Spray. I’ve been thinking of repurchasing Noodle Head Curling Cream. My hair loved it. I might use an anti-humidity hair spray such as CHI Enviro 54 Hair Spray Hold Level 3, which I have a travel can of. I try to buy small, to not be so wasteful because I usually don’t like anything in my hair. But I made a mistake of buying a giant can of Paul Mitchell Flexible Hold Sculpting Foam. I already had Cake Beauty Whipped Curl Defining & Volumizing Mousse. I should donate one, but can’t decide which.

I do the upward scrunch & sometimes I plop. Usually the microfiber towel falls off my head or I get too hot & remove it. After it air dries I hate the ramen noodle look & feel, & then the yuck on my hands after scrunching the crunch.

I don’t protect my hair while sleeping other than sometimes using Living Proof Perfect Hair Day night cap. Satin pillowcases & bonnets make me hot & the bonnets don’t stay on my head. Silk cases are much too expensive. I’m thinking of buying an adjustable bonnet I saw advertised on social media. I used to wear my hair in a pineapple when it was longer & fuller. But my hair is thinner & short now. I can only do a baby paintbrush. I’ve given away most of my elastics & claws.

If I refresh the morning bed head, it’s with water, or AVEDA rinseless refresh, or Mane ‘n Tail Curls Day Curl Refresher Spray, or Paul Mitchell Taming Spray Kids Detangler.

I don’t use Discord. So I’m asking here if anyone has tried these pencils.

I’ve been window shopping on Amazon for another inexpensive supposedly all metal body mechanical pencil and saw these.

The Mechanical Pencils Sub says I need to post this question to Discord. I don’t use Discord. So, I wondered if anyone here has bought & used one or some I have listed. I value your review than most of what I see on Amazon.

Thanks!

Turning a candle punched tin Revere lantern like the one in the photo (not mine) into electric

From research I know I need:

• a candelabra E12 base
• a 6-7 ft cord with inline switch for tabletop or shelf display
• 18 gauge SPT-1 or SPT-2 cord with a 15-25 watt maximum rating
• to drill a hole in the base or back to pass the cord through
• to use a low-wattage (i.e., 3-watt LED) flame effect or Edison bulb to prevent overheating

One site said they painted the inside black to stop diffusion back to the bulb. I’m guessing that was for incandescent only to prevent overheating. 🤷‍♀️ I forgot & I lost the site.

I think if I drill a hole through the bottom, I’m going to need to add feet to raise the base off the cord.

Is there anything else you might suggest?

(I might hang it later & don’t know if that would entail a different wiring configuration.)

Thanks!

Bought what I thought was a lantern

After a Google Lens search resulted in nothing, I turned the search to finding out what a 25 watt G type bulb was. It’s a warmer bulb! So, did I buy a warmer missing its top, thinking it was a laser cut lantern?! 😫

Is it a Scentsy?

Refills for Pentel EnerGel BL407 in …

Bronze or copper?

Gold?

Silver?

A web search says they’re available, yet when I go to the stores, these colors aren’t there. Not even in Zebra Sarasa Clip. Not even in Uni-ball UMR 83, 85, or 87.

I’ve been to Amazon, Jet Pens, Pentel, Uni-ball, eBay, Blick, & I forget where else.

I’m just striking out.

I’m also looking for a Gunmetal-like black/gray.

HELP!

Please & thanks!

Ref one of my maxi skirt that I’m going to wear “shorts” under

I wear the sh** out of it. I have yet to wear the others. It’s my favorite because of length & pattern.

But it rides up all the way to my ribs when I sit. I’m constantly having to pull it back down when I stand up. It’s as if it wants to be a tube top dress! 😫

Is this normal for these things? Or do I really have no waist? Maybe it’s too big? 🤔

EDITED TO ADD:

  1. If I can fit into the others in my closet, I’ll try them out to see if it happens with them.

  2. I found these reasons and how to solve the situation.

Under-skirt things to prevent chafing, rubbing, the thigh skin catching?

I had a wedding to go to. I didn’t want to wear support pantyhose. And after many minutes of trying to get Spanx “shorts” in my size up to my belly, but unable to get them past, I got so upset I tore them off & threw them in the corner. So I put on the thigh bands I bought just in case. They didn’t work so well. They started to roll. So, I’m getting rid of them, too.

Do you prefer silky pantaloons? Or stretchy yoga-style? Or what? What brand? What length? What style?

I just ordered both. Length: almost to the knees. But I’m open to other suggestions.

I’m just worried about the stretchy yoga-style rolling up or getting baggy & working upwards, & the waist rolling down.

I like my maxis. I can wear my “rubber slippers” instead of heals because of swelling that began many years after pregnancy. Even wides won’t fit at times. I figured I can also forgo the support pantyhose. It’s all about comfort. I grew up a Tomboy fighting against skirts & dresses, pantyhose & tights, & heels. Give me jeans, Bermudas, & capris, Crocs & flip-flops! lol

EDITED TO ADD: Because of spinal stenosis, I have to wear incontinence liner pads. Can I stick such to the shorts or should I just keep to wearing them in underwear under shorts?

Thanks!
