I broke my left hand at the start of June. Finally had my cast taken off and was able to give myself a manicure!! It felt soooo good! 😌💅 My nails are super healthy after the long break!
Manchineel Tree from Mooncat is also just a stunning shade, can't stop staring 😍 This is 3 coats + MC Speed Demon TC
I fell yesterday and broke my hand. Unfortunately I needed to have my wedding and engagement rings cut off. I'm a newlywed so that was honestly the most painful part, but at least I still have all my fingers.
I'm looking for a jeweler rec, either in the city or on the peninsula. The rings were very ornate and beautiful so ideally someone who can do detailed work.
Thanks so much in advance 🙏
I am not a trailer owner yet, but doing research as I hope to become one someday! My main use case is festival camping, where I'd be off-grid for ~2 weeks at a time. I currently haul out and build a heavy and complicated shelter structure for myself every year, and am very envious of my trailer-owning friends.
My other big reason for wanting a trailer is that I really want my own private toilet. I get mild altitude sickness at this festival, and always spend the first two days miserable and constantly walking back and forth to the portapotties with an upset stomach.
Unfortunately I'm pretty squeamish about emptying a black tank, and would prefer to avoid the need to visit designated dump sites. I've looked at composting toilets, incinerating toilets, cassette toilets, etc. as potential alternatives but would love to hear opinions from the community about any trade-offs I might be neglecting or any other options I may have missed.
My main wants are:
- Can be dumped without visiting an RV dump site, or at least minimizing the visits to those sites. A separating toilet appeals to me because I can dump the liquid in a porto as often as needed, and can wait a lot longer to empty the solid waste (I currently use a pee jug in my tent already and am not squeamish about dumping pee)
- Has enough capacity to not need to dump solids for 2ish weeks (assuming I'm the only person using it)
- Easy and relatively hygienic to empty. I'm a medium sized woman and not particularly strong. Competent with my own two hands, but sometimes lacking in coordination.
- Doesn't smell inside the trailer AND doesn't make the area outside my trailer smell bad either. We set up in close proximity to our neighbours and I would feel bad for venting my poop smells too close to where someone else is trying to chill. An occasional mild waft of stink is fine, I just don't want to be the source of constant stink.
- I like the idea of incinerating toilets but don't love their power consumption. Bringing and storing additional fuel for a generator is a PITA at festivals, so I would want to limit my total power consumption over those ~2 weeks to 1-2 mounted propane tanks. My current setup is all solar and keeps my fans running and my electronics charged. I understand a fridge will probably use propane. I can avoid microwave and AC use if it means negating the need to travel with a separate generator and fuel. If an incinerating toilet uses more power than what my solar setup or a couple of propane tanks can provide, that would be a bummer.
It seems like composting is probably my best bet as long as I can figure out how to not make it stink outside the trailer. Am I missing any important factors or problems to consider? I've also heard a little bit about Laveo dry flush toilets, they might be a good option but they don't seem to be that popular. Does anyone here have a positive or negative opinion on those and would be willing to share? Thanks in advance for any insight!
