I was browsing the ai slop that is Pinterest today and saw the most gorgeous lingerie set with a long line bra that I am desperate to see on my body but that brand is NOT made for my 30L Polish bra needing boobs. Because my roots are so narrow it’s been hard sourcing underwire and it got me thinking of alternative materials. Like could I use something like a stiff foam cut into shape? Victoria secret used to make this bra with a jelly underwire? I know people use zip ties for corset boning. But wouldn’t it be rad if underwire was soft and plushy? Since finding my holy grail bra I don’t really deal with underwire PAIN really. But a hard wire on the ribs all day isn’t stellar you know?

ETA: I’m really just trying to play around and experiment. I understand a softer material might not provide support in the way certain styles might need. I’m not trying to replace every bra I own with some alternative. Just trying to think outside of the box. Innovation and growth doesn’t happen if you always do the same thing every time.

I stopped really following beauty YouTubers after Dramgedon and covid pushing me harder into skin care. Then I moved on to other hobbies. I want to get back into make up and am hoping to find some good YouTubers. I’d like to avoid the Laura Lee’s and Jaclyn Hills. Pretty much anyone involved in dramagedon is a no for me hahah. I love RachLoves but she is really the only person I know of right now.

I am open to all shapes, ages, genders, etc. BUT I am a white woman in her 30’s so obviously it is preferable to have someone like that to watch since things like foundation and techniques can vary widely with different ages, genders, ethnicities etc.

Really though, I just want some education. I want some goofy content. I want to hear reviews and see wear tests. Maybe I’m just missing the 2016 life

TLDR because the details aren't relevant. I'm co-parenting (kid is ~12) with a narcissist. I'm looking for recommendations of books (audiobooks are ideal) on how to communicate with this type of person, strategies around co-parenting with a narcissist, dealing with PTSD after being married to such a person, etc....Nothing religious based. Bonus points for material written by mental health professionals.

Then, if you are feeling extra fancy, let me know what is at the top of your overall MUST read list because I love all books and always need something to sink my brain into and definitely need a pallet cleanser between these other books.

I want to get into corsetry and bra making (specifically) because I have a really small rib cage and a mug larger cup size. This world was not made for my proportions. And because of that, patterns aren’t either. As most patterns are drafted for a d cup. I’ve got almost a 9 inch difference between my high bust and full bust. Doing FBAs on a regular pattern is a nightmare in itself but something as so form fitting and also body modifying such as corsetry has been hell. I haven’t been able to figure it out on my own. Every video I’ve seen on YouTube just uses a standard pattern with minimal modifications to it. Does anyone know of anyone who teaches these skills? Obviously free is key! Buuuut I’m happy to pay if there is a good course online or something. I’ve spent some money on classes before for fitting and design, but these classes all are catered towards industry standard and doing tiny modifications.

Long time user of the LR3. We just got the 5 and it has been amazing!!!! I was gifted a box of tidy cats litter robot formula and had that on hand so we used it. I actually liked it fine. However, I forgot to change my auto ship so now I have a bag of boxiecat lightweight coming which is the only litter that was light weight enough to not trigger an error sensor on my old dying beast. These formulas are completely different. Anyone have experience with changing litter types? Should I mix the litters, wait until the old one is as low as it can be? Dump the whole thing and waste the litter? I just dumped the final remnants of the tidy cats into the bot. Trying to NOT turn this brand new beautiful machine into a yucky poop smear mess 😬
