bread bags that don't have chemicals and made from food safe material?

I am interested in looking for a bread bag recc's that do not have chemicals and things that could leach into the bread. I am wondering what kind of material the bread bag is made out of am looking for a bread bag that I can use to store and reheat bread without worrying about chemicals leaching into the food. There are so many different materials available, including plastic, silicone, cotton, and linen, but I am not sure which options are safest when exposed to heat. I would prefer something reusable that can withstand oven temperatures without releasing unwanted chemicals or affecting the taste of the bread.

Salon decor

I am looking to upgrade the decor in our salon and was wondering about wholesale suppliers that I could purchase from online that are reliable and not very expensive. I am specifically looking for items like vases, decorative objects, wall decor and candle holders and also trays. I have been browsing through a few domestic websites and was thinking that I could possibly find something that might cater to businesses but the quality of the items will still be high like regular home decor. Any recc's will be helpful!

Has anyone used AI to figure out the cheapest landed cost for nail products?

I am interested in figuring out the most economical amount in total for landed cost from a supplier when I am purchasing bulk nail supplies from a wholesale supplier. I realize that it is not just the lowest price that will help to determine what the cheapest price will be in total for landed cost when it comes order wholesale items when you are running a business. I need to keep track of all the other stuff, like shipping, MOQ, international frieght, customs duty, brokerage and labeling and maybe even some money loss for products that get damaged in transit.

Looking for nail salon suppliers who can provide good discounts on bulk orders?

I own a nail salon and I am at a point now where I wan to start cutting down sourcing costs. It is becoming really expensive to source stuff. Previously I have sourced from alibaba and amazon business but was looking to explore other sites now. Costs have gone up, maybe there are other asian based suppliers that could provide a lower unit cost or less shipping cost without compromising on quality of wholesale items. I mainly source things like nail tips, buffers, cuticle tools, charms, gels and other everyday supplies. For others who have sourced items, which marketplaces give you the best discounts for smaller orders?

Does anyone know if its worth it to buy insurance for bulk purchases vs just vetting vendors better?

I was wondering if anyone has thought about whether it is worth it or not to get added insurance when making bulk or wholesale purchases from the platforms they order from. We are in our second year of business and doing pretty well but want to cut costs when it comes to shipping and logistics.

I know that platforms that sell bulk quantities of supplies offer trade assurance like with alibaba or with amazon business I think its a A to Z Guarantee or something. I think that might be free and comes with the purchase, not sure. I just want to know if I want to make bulk purchases if I should be looking for something like this, or is it better I just spend more time and vet the suppliers and vendors instead of wasting my money?

What’s a realistic budget for a robot vacuum that handles cat hair?

What’s a realistic budget for a robot vacuum that handles cat hair? I need to start chalking out a budget for a robo vacuum cleaner and floor care for an apartment that has cat hair all over it. I have a cat that sheds a lot and I can't be vaccuming all day. Its too much after coming home from work, I am so tired and I just feel so defeated because I clean up everyday and every day I come home and there is hair everywhere.

Youtube videos to watch for beginners who are using resistance bands for the first time?

I am looking for some advice on what youtube trainer videos to watch when it comes to using resistance bands specifically for tightening my thigh muscles and was wondering how to improve leg strength and stability. I was initially going to purchase a thigh trainer or excerciser but found that these bands actually are easier to use and cost a lot less money, I just need some video guidance and some recc's on what youtube channels to follow so I can learn how to do this properly.

I want to protect my back and make sure I don't injure myself, I am a 50+ women who has had back issues so its important that I do this the right way and not end up creating a bigger problem for myself. I just really want to strengthen my leg muscles and see a difference when I am wearing tight pants. I also want some recc's of websites where I can go to purchase these bands as I don't really have enough time after work to buy them in person. I would rather just purchase online but want to make sure that there are reliable and not purchased from a third party website like alibaba or amazon. I need a specific brand name, so recommending amazon or aliexpress would not make sense, I need either a specific brand name or online site.

Band resistance for building thigh and glute muscles?

How much weight should I be using to build thigh and glue muscles? I want to start but a little lost about how to go about it, but I do know that bands have different resistances so I need to figure out what to start with. But I also do not want to get something so easy that it doesnt make a difference. I was initially going to purchase a thigh trainer or exerciser but realized that I need something that I should do this myself without contraptions like this because i have a weak back. Any word on what resistance I should start with would be great? Also recc's on what online sites I can visit to figure out where I can purchase stuff like this from, besides amazon or online sites that purchase from places like alibaba, aliexpress etc.

thigh excercising machine to strengthen thighs

I am a woman above 50 and interested in working on my leg strength specifically my muscle tone without having to go to the gym. I was considering buying one of those thigh trainers or thigh excercisers that can work out. my upper thighs because I feel they are really flabby and not very strong. I was wondering what kind of machine would be best for this part of the body and for a woman my age who does not work out, who does not get any sort of excercise anyways.

So I really want to make sure I dont strain my back or any other part of my body which would make it hard to get to work or do stuff around the house, as I live alone.

Decorative jars or vases for a salon in bulk, minimalistic feel

I am looking at different urns and jars for a nail salon I manage because we want to spruce up the space for summer clients without spending a bunch of money. A lot of people are suggesting I look at vintage shops or speciality shops on eBay but we have a big space and I want to be able to cover the maximum amount of area with just one order. So I was wondering if there are some wholesale sites that sell decor items that are like curated and maybe available in sets so that I can just purchase a few whole sets where I can mix and match and put a few together and just spread it around the whole salon.

We have a minimalistic look so black or white would work really well, any recc's on wholesale decor sites that would sell stuff like this would be great or maybe a vendor that is legit on a site like amazon or alibaba. Also what kind of material would protect against damage or breakage, like what would be the best material because I know porcelain is really delicate and I dont want something that might break especially if I am purchasing a bunch of them.

CBD vaporizer and drug testing?

My daughter is thinking of trying CBD vaporizer for stress and anxiety because she knows someone who has tried it and it really helped them. The thing she is a nurse and even though they dont do regualr drug testing they coudl do random and she might fail the drug test, does anyone know about this and how long it takes for the THC to leave their blood stream? How does this work exactly, I just know someone on reddit mentioned that it could cause you to fail a drug test.

Apparently some CBD products contain trace amounts of THC and that can be a big problem. Would it depend on where you buy the vaporizer from, or maybe whatever you put in it. She found a bunch of reasonbly priced ones on amazon and alibaba becaues she was just randomly researching different kinds. She doesn't know a specific brand so she just wanted to search through different ones to see how much they cost. Any insights or input on what she should do? I really don't want her to lose her job.

CBD vaporizer information, explain it to me like I am 5 years old.

My 29 year old daughter wants to purchase a CBD vaporizer because she says she feels stressed out and anxious a lot. She told me that her friend uses one and it has been life changing. I told her that there are a lot of other things you can do to reduce stress like excercise, and yoga, and deep breathing etc. She told me that is true but this is really a no brainer becasue you just turn it on and it releases cannabis vapours that calm the mind and soul.

To me this just sounds like she wants to get high all the time and I am not sure if that is a good idea. I just want to know how safe it these are and if they are being used by the mainstream wellness market, because I frankly have never heard of them or know anyone who has been using them. My daughter had a drinking problem so I am kind of worried, she told me there arent that expensive and she found a few online on sites like amazon and alibaba, and that I should buy one myself since I am always down her throat about everything lol.

Cleaning rags that wash easily when it comes to spilt nail polish?

I run a nail salon and was wondering what kind of fabric would work best when it comes to washing nail polish off? Thought maybe some cleaners who work at salons might be able to answer this question in this sub?

I am throwing a lot of cleaning rags away because the nail polish just won't wash off. I was thinking of ordering in bulk knitted rib rags from wholesalers on alibaba or amazon, but then I thought it would be better if we just maybe purchase either a cleaning agent that can wash out nail polish, instead of looking for a specific kind of fabric.

Tell me are there specific kinds of materials that will wash out better, or is it really the cleaning agent I should be look for? The other alternative is to just order disposable which I know is not good for the planet, but maybe it will never come out and I just need to purchase disposable and throw it away after we use it.

dryer fire hazards?

I was wondering how others wash rags and knitted rib cloth that have been used to wipe clean nail polish remover or other chemicals like acetone, when they wash them and then put them in the dryer, and that could be a fire hazard? I was just wondering how others deal with this issue, apparently this has happened. We have been using disposable actually and now we are thinking of purchasing wholesale amounts that we can be washed and resused because its better for the planet and its also cheaper.

I just want to make sure chemical soaked fabrics are not a fire hazard, are there any other ways that people use to wash these kinds of cleaning rags? I am going to purcahse wholesale amounts from an online site like amazon or alibaba and they are washing machine and dryer friendly I just don't know if ribbed knitted rags soak up the chemicals more than lets say a microfiber cloth? Any perspective on what kind of cloth I should be looking for?

Knitted ribbed fabric for use as rags to clean up?

I have a nail salon and I need to source knitted ribbed rags for everyday and we go through a lot of rags and so I was wondering if I could buy themse in bulk for like the entire year instead of running to the market every other day to get them. We mostly need them to clean up nail polish spills and and for general salon use.

We go through a crazy amount of them, including cleaning stations and wiping up spills. I think it will be cheaper to buy in bulk. I am confused about the variations in quality and was wondering what I should be looking for when I am shortlisting vendors online from sites like amazon or alibaba. I know some suppliers say 100% cotton but others say it is blended fabric and I dont want them to be super thin.
