Candles & Cats
To preface, I know candles aren’t good for us but I can’t replicate some smells with a simmer pot 🥲
When we first adopted our cat, Cleo, she was having coughing/wheezing fits. Despite X-ray and various tests, the vets said to keep an eye on it and limit scents in our surroundings. So, I completely stopped using candles, changed to even more pet friendly cleaning products, & began vacuuming more frequently. We also changed all the filters in our house, including our air purifier.
Cleo is now almost 1 and has been fit free for 9+ months. Is there a way I can use candles or some sort of artificial smell that won’t trigger these fits. I’ve had family members suggest a wax warmer, but is that safe?
I’m okay with not using extra scents at all, but I missed my pumpkin/christmas scents and now that spring is here I really want to smell something nice without having to open my windows & letting pollen in.
Waxers, please help!
I have consistently waxed my face and underarms for 6+ years with little to no problems. I’ve recently started doing my own brazilian/bikini line and have noticed that I am getting a lot of ingrown hairs. When I notice this, I tweeze them and make sure I get the root. I use an african net sponge for my physical exfoliation & glycolic acid for chemical exfoliation. Is there sometbing else I am doing wrong? Do I need a stronger exfoliant?
Frizzy, Wavy Hair Products?
Hi everyone! I just joined & needing a little bit of helping finding a good routine that will hold my waves without weighing them down. I’ve added pictures of my hair both dry and wet. My hair always ends up drying super frizzy regardless of whichever combination of products I have down below. I don’t use all the products at once but I’ve been doing different combinations with 1 hour of plopping then air drying. I use Aussie Shampoo & conditioner.

Wide Legged Pants?
Where are we finding cute wide legged linen pants for this summer? I’d like something cool, flowy, but a stiffer material that can hide my belly. (doesn’t haven’t to be linen pants but that style) Looking for Size XXL, 2X. I’m on a tight budget but willing to spend up to $30-40 but if you have any cheaper recommendations, please comment!
Frizzy Wavy Hair After Applying Products
This is my hair after 1 hour of plopping & air dried with Not Your Mothers Refresh Foam. After a lot of trial and error with products, this is the best results I’ve had (wave/definition wise) but my hair still contains a lot of frizz. I’ve tried different combinations of L’oréal Leave-in, Odele air dry styler, Aussie mousse, & Garnier Spray Gel. I’ve liked the outcomes of some of these trial and errors but I cannot get any results without major frizz. A moisture issue? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I typically use Aussie products with OGX Argan oil without using any of the other products listed.
Last two pictures are wet before plopping, after scrunching

Everything except Fancy Feast & stuff in grey bin. None expired!! I thought it was a scam at first but it was an older lady whose cats didn’t like it. Hopefully my cats do 🤞🤞
i was thinking of throwing them into the dryer to fluff up the inside but i’m a bit nervous to do that in case it shrinks
Feeling upset
Husband & I went to Charleston over the weekend where he took this picture. I thought my outfit was really cute but looking at the picture I feel frumpy and insecure. I’m trying to branch out with my outfits this summer, I really love how the shirt fits but I’m thinking now it looks unflattering ESPECIALLY on my arms. :/ I think I’ll try rolling the waistband of my pants up a bit…
edit: thank you guys so much for the kind words & advice. it really means alot to me as i’ve started embracing, not hiding my body <3
Has anyone used these before? I’m starting to embrace my thick, frizzy 2A hair, but I have already spent a pretty penny on different products that have not worked at all. Any advice is appreciated!
This is my first summer I’ve been really into outdoor tanning. I’m pale and burn easily with sensitive skin. Are there any lightweight sunscreens I can use on my entire body that ensures I don’t burn but also don’t break out (especially on my face)?
