    Me and my husband are remodeling our spare bathroom. All by ourselves. Except for updating the electrical outlets and adding the fans. Neither one of us know a dang thing about electricity and that stuff is too dangerous to play around with. Other than that, my husband reworked the plumbing converting from a tub to shower. We’re installing a Tile Redi shower pan, waterproof backer boards, the flash, tile, flooring, paint, etc. We already knocked into our wall a few inches and made a deep niche of shelves that go from the top to bottom. ( we used some space from an adjacent closet.) Its tiring doing it yourselves and you have to pace yourself but it’s a lot cheaper and I know that it will be beautiful once it’s done.

      Hats off to you! That is a big project and I'm sure it's also rewarding seeing what you can do yourselves. There was a brief time when I thought it would be cool to be a carpenter and build things. I have several friends that are plumbers, electricians and a contractor so I phone a friend 🤣

    I so agree if we are not buying something we are buying something else! i need to get some new walking shoes. My doctor actually recommended them to me. March has definitely been a mixture but I’m so hopeful for April! I’m so hoping I can get somewhere with a new pain management dr, and figure out what is going on with my back. I’m hoping I can get the approval to join a Silver Sneakers walking program and maybe try some yoga?! My goal is strengthening and better balance!!❤ Thank you for asking because it sure feels great to share that!!

      I hope you get approval for Silver Sneakers too! I'm rooting for you. I absolutely love yoga. I became a certified instructor because I love it so much....so why don't I do it everyday? Because I fell out of the habit and it takes so much effort and momentum to get me back into walking and yoga. Saying it out loud motivates me. I will go to Yoga on Sunday. How is that? I put it out there and now I need to make it happen. Yoga is great for strength, balance, joints. I love stretching. I have to go to a studio and do it otherwise I won't do it. I know myself. I need the external accountability.
      Thank you for sharing. I believe in putting it out in the world and taking action to make it happen. Let's check in again next month.

      @@kathylafayette3765 thank you! I have tried pt several times but the last time, I couldn’t lye down on the table, she said I needed to go back to my dr and push for the MRI .. That has not happened… such a long story, but it’s insurance related as well as the dr ‘s staff not documenting my chart correctly, and much more!!
      I have recently been able to change drs and am actually getting my MRI’s this week! My insurance has changed as well so I’m hoping that will speed up everything as well.
      I have looked on YT for yoga and I have done a few. Primarily for the stretching.! One of my concern is I wanna make sure I’m doing things correctly because I don’t need to cause an injury. My phones are very brittle so I’m extremely cautious. Would you mind sharing with me some of your favorites on UA-cam? Thank you again for your input, I appreciate it very much.!💜

    I feel like i dont empty enough for what I have but I did fnish 73 for the month no clue on other numbers. Ive had lower months and higher months. Im happy with it since 3 were loaves, 11 were brittles and rest souffles, shapes, bars and clamshells and samples. Also I didnt melt anything for 2 days.
    I dont put much wax into my warmers. Im just not one who loads them up. I think i figure it will clean up easier and faster.
    I still need to do work on my scoops but i did put in some Hayden Rowe Street Donut and put some RG Strawberry Jelly Donut scoop on top of each today. I was gifted the scoop over a year ago and i have warmed it a few times. Its a really large wide container. I know its older but still throwing. 😊❤

      That's fantastic Angela. I don't know why I don't reach for scoops as much as I do other types of wax. I only warmed one scoop last month. Luckily I don't have a ton of them but I still need to try a little harder. Finishing 3 loaves is quite an accomplishment. Thanks for sharing I enjoy hearing how you did.

      I've finished 4 scoops in 4 years 😔
      I need to get on them. Just a pain to clean if you some mix harder and scoop it does clean up easier. I just don't have more then 1 or bakery in scoops though. Its other types of blends. I went scoop crazy before I learned they aren't my favorite form.
      I need to try to do one a month honestly to start some progress, some are partially used. Some never.
      It wasn't all start to finish last month but all was finished ,some several times till gone, some was once or twice.
      Thank you I appreciate that. I could do way more but I just can't put alot in my warmers when they don't need it. To me that would be a waste. Plus im home alot. I do stop all wax but my bedroom by 7 pm though. I usually do each room 1x a day except bedroom twice most days.
      One was a SGA out of the breadbox loaf which I loved , I cant hoard it though and I found 2 brittles in destash so I can use my back up loaf. I just which I had couple more cause it's one of my SGA favorites along with Green Machine and a few others. Hopefully she will be back and better then ever soon enough.

    I broke my no buy on March 20. I made a small Super Tarts order ( and no regrets really, I haven’t ordered from ST since Wax Wednesday in November). So I was shooting for a six month ban , but only made it a little over halfway. I dont feel too bad though, well, heck, I don’t feel bad at all really b/c I’ve been using up a lot of my Super Tarts and have made a reasonable dent in my stash so I didn’t feel any ounce of guilt in replenishing my stash. #confessional101

I like to push it out as far as I can for the same reason, to revisit and to see what I don't have to club for a bit while they are offered in the catalog.
