I was excited to find the Primals Boar Bristle Electric Toothbrush - an electric toothbrush with no plastic exposure! I used it once and so far no complaints. Other than the fact it was preorder and shipped 3 weeks past the expected shipping date. But they sweeten the deal with throwing in some products for a discount, so I got the body wash and lotion. Ah consumerism :/ Haven't opened the lotion yet because I have some other mositurizers to finish off.

But the body wash... supposedly the only scent is from honey suckle essential oil but let me tell you this smells like axe body wash lol. I am so confused. I work a lot with herbs/essential oils and am pretty sensitive to fragrance. This has me scratching my head. Is this a straight up scam? Does anyone know anything about this company? Any advice on what to ask them to maybe get more info/transparency about their products / ingredients? 3rd party testing on ingredients or something?

I take pure encapsulations OptiFerin C, and the new bottle I got, the powder in the capsule has a light greyish color. Never seen them that color. Has anyone else come across this? Are they still effective?

Looking to go hike along a river in nature, somewhere I can plop down along the trail and take a dip in the river! The more quiet and secluded the better (I get the irony of asking this on Reddit- lol you can message me if you want!). I am looking at Interstate Park (Taylor Falls), Willow River State Park or Jay Cooke state park. Any specific trail you know of at these parks that is good for this? Open to suggestions for other destinations as well, including quiet secluded lake hiking. \*Keeping it close enough for a day trip from the twin cities.\*

I just posted debating whether to get a litter robot or furniture enclosure. I currently have a stainless steel pan in a plastic covered dome w/ door.

I’ve just about fully transitioned from worlds best (sooo dusty) to tofu litter. Seems better so far but won’t know til we’re totally off worlds best.

Should I get a litter genie? Right now I just use a tiny lidded trash can lined with a plastic grocery bag.

I have a super basic air purifier. What is the BEST affordable air purifier to keep by a litter box?

Odor/dust/tracking control tips… What else??

My cat likes to throw litter aggressively. Stainless steel pan with plastic cover & door has worked okay but there are some gaps where litter gets about a bit. In addition to litter tracking, other complaints are smell, aesthetic & scooping.

Cute litter enclosure with a little “hallway” to get to the box checks aesthetic & might reduce litter tracking? Idk about smell.

I am intrigued by reduced scooping & smell with litter robot but it seems like even more of a chore to maintenance clean? Automatic litter boxes also scare me a bit but LR seems to be safe- can that be guaranteed? Also scattered litter might still be an issue?

Looking for help deciding which option to go with!

I was quoted $350 for face only… I am new to these kinds of treatments and get the idea med spas might be more costly than individual providers/doctors… I saw someone post about getting MN for face & neck plus an in house healing serum for $200 so I know it’s out there.

Wanted to post on the off chance someone might have a referral for affordable (ideally under $200) microneedling without sacrificing quality equipment/practice in the Twin Cities MN area.
