FYI you shouldn't have to replace potting soil (if it's good quality) unless it's infested with an insect or a fungus. Otherwise, you should only need to use potting soil if they needed repotted if it's outgrown the current pot. You shouldn't have your plants relying on fertilizer from a potting soil, you should water with a liquid fertilizer.

[@DaAngyBean]

For succulents you should repot them every 2 ish years.

[@thriftthick]

oh really?? I'll have to give a liquid fertilizer a chance, I had no idea that was a thing... thank you! :)

Yea, your hands do tremble in nearly every video. It’s just your hands I guess?

[@thriftthick]

I honestly don't notice it at all!! So strange.... 🤔

[@ashleyrosearc]

@@thriftthick I notice typically when you’re holding something up, like a foundation on your finger to show consistency or color, or holding products up. You probably arent stressed, but it’s not a big deal. Some people’s hands are just that way. Just like some people’s eyes twitch/shake putting on eye shadow etc.

the problem with the silicone mats is that after awhile they break down (?) and make *everything* you cook/bake on them taste like plastic 🤢 also- the regular Aquaphor (not the one for lips!) is 100% better for dry lips. Makes no sense but it's the truth !

[@dindaire]

I used to use aquaphor religiously for years and it really helped last year when I still worked at a hospital when I would wear my N95 when going into a pt's room because my lips would get so dry if I didnt put anything on them. But I found recently I was getting these bumps on my lips and I think it was from that. I use the Eucerin original healing cream on my lips and its honestly saved them! Its this thick white paste essentially but my lips are always so soft in the mornings when I use this.

Confessions of a Shopaholic...this a very good playlist. Memoirs of a Geisha Movie you need to re-watch it and really pay close attention (BECAUSE THE MAN DIDN'T KNOW THE 9 YEAR OLD AND HE WASN'T KEEPING AN EYE ON HER HE HAD NO IDEA WHO SHE WAS UNTIL HE SAW HER AGAIN WHEN SHE WAS 16 OR 17 AND SHE BECAME A GEISHA AND BY NO MEANS DID HE PARTICIPATE IN BECOMING HER DONOR OR COMMANDER. SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM AT 9 BUT HE HAD NO IDEA UNTIL SHE RETELLS THE STORY LATER ALONG THE MOVIE ABOUT HER BEING A YOUNG GIRL AND MEETING THIS CHAIRMAN AND THAT'S WHEN THE CHAIRMAN REALIZED WHO SHE WAS. THE RULES ARE OF A GEISHA THAT BY NO MEANS ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE MARRIED OR HAVE A HUSBAND, OR FEEL LOVE OR BE IN LOVE BUT SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH THE CHAIRMAN SINCE SHE WAS 9 AND AT THE END OF THE MOVIE HE ALSO CONFESSES THAT HE WANTED HER FORGIVENESS FOR NOT BEING THE MAN SHE ALWAYS WANTED HIM TO BE FOR HER AFTER EVERYTHING SHE HAD BEEN THROUGH AS A LITTLE GIRL ALL THE WAY TO BECOMING A GEISHA AND A WOMAN. SO A DREAM CAME TRUE FOR HER AS A GEISHA THAT SHE FOUND A MAN THAT HAD ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH HER AND WANTED TO BE WITH HER AS MORE THAN JUST COMPANY FOR THE NIGHT. SHE FOUND LOVE.
