the way house of leaves has been revived for a cult following is so funny. it's completely backwards! it was a music industry book. the singer poe, who made waves with her debut for having a few tracks produced by j dilla and then if i remember correctly doing a 500+ show tour, essentially tanked her career to promote the book (written by her brother)
not like on purpose but it was supposed to be a paired project and there was a remix with a book excerpt read by mark (the kyrie bmw sex scene) and like, i don't know, a tie-in website -- but then her label got sold or merged or acquired and the project was eventually cancelled after languishing in limbo for a few years. there's also an aspect of this where like, a texas oil executive posed as a friend of her late father (possibly true) in order to manipulate legal proceedings (?) to ultimately own her writing and recording copyrights post-acquisition (dubious allegation, which also relies on her having signed away both types of copyright to her label in the first place, arguably a larger problem spanning the whole industry, even today, still coming up in legal proceedings from kesha and taylor swift and so on)
anyway the album (haunted) and the book were both inspired by the same event (death of their father, tad danielewsky -- as an aside, a professor of theater at brigham young university). the album features samples from a box of cassette tape recordings of his voice. and also some fake samples from a couple of guys pretending to be tad danielewski with an obviously ridiculous accent and a couple of kids pretending to be her as a kid. and it takes place inside the house. the growl is there and everything i swear
it really was one of the top tier 90s concept albums (it was released in 2000 actually) but it is usually FAR too much to handle for casual listening and a lot of it comes across difficult for being so sincere and so unfocused (it is a love letter to her dead father where one of the songs is a list of places she's gotten fucked, because, uh, this is a conversation she wanted to have with him. shrug). and yet it's hard not to take it as it is because it's so consistently well produced
so i know nobody's computer comes with a cd player anymore but to read the book without listening to the paired album implicitly packed in the back of the book jacket is kind of like missing the whole point. there's a whole second act of rashomon you guys are missing. and a third act hello the etsy teleplays. ANYWAY the point i wanted to make is that there are a couple of things about the album sticking to the roof of my mouth as being somehow prescient. there's a distorted "why (are you) so serious" sample that would have come across VERY differently post-joker, but there's also "tell me something dangerous and true," a far more interesting variation on the theme currently circulating. and i'm speaking to an empty room here because it's only the celibate 60% of this website who is reading the book because it allows them a patina of literary validity and several nested unreliable narrators to distance themselves from the sex scenes, but haunted is very authentically, directly and exclusively written in first person and to be honest it fucks too hard for you guys. i'm sorry

Alastor - Historical Trivia And Headcanons
Alastor was a mixed-race Creole man living in New Orleans, and was in his 30's/40's when he died in 1933. We don't know much else about him, but historical context can provide us with possible additional details:
The population of New Orleans in 1930 was 458,762, more than it is now. 27.2% of the people were black, 3.1% were foreign-born, and roughly half of America's bipoc population was unemployed thanks to the Great Depression. New Orleans' original Francophonication was still strong, and it was common to run into locals who only spoke French dialects (Cajun French, Louisiana Creole). The city has had a huge Chinatown, a small Little Italy, and multiple other districts known for their immigrant African/colonized French cultures.
The Jim Crow laws were heavily enforced, as was the 'One Drop' rule. If Alastor was a mixed race black man, he would not have been able to attend a white school, use the same public transport, and would have shopped at black-local stores and restaurants under threat of violence. If he was mixed with any other race, some Jim Crow laws didn't apply, but state or city laws might specify differently.
Just because Alastor wears a suit, it doesn't mean he was rich in life. Radio personalities often didn't earn a fortune. Unless he owned his own broadcast, he was paid by a private company for long shifts of hosting music, news, and radio plays. In 1930, 40% of households owned at least one radio, which means that a popular radio host would have been easily recognized.
If he was in his late 30's in 1933, he might have fought in WW1, so long as he was over the age of 21. Some cities gave veterans small benefits, or encouraged the community to give them jobs. This often did not include veterans of color.
New Orleans was famous for being one of the least Christian cities in America, thanks to its unique immigrant and slave population. Haitian-based faiths and practices (such as voudo), indigenous cultures, Asian Buddhism, and atheism were common. But Christianity was still the official, law-enforced religion. Schooling involved reading the Bible, laws were sworn to Jesus, etc.

Alastor's outfit in Hazbin Hotel isn't very accurate to real-life American men's fashions of the time. Back then, deviating from the norm with the smallest detail would have stuck out like a sore thumb - like his white-lined lapels. Men always wore a hat. They were allowed to go without a waistcoat, but not a jacket. Belts were becoming more popular than suspenders. The silhouette was bulkier than the slimmer, Italian cuts of our modern times, especially the pants. Hair was kept short, and oiled down in a side part. Americans preferred the clean shaven look. Ties were essential unless you were a blue-collar laborer. Colors were almost universally muted neutral tones for everyday wear. The most colorful textiles for men were sporting outfits, like a tennis jacket.
If Alastor was a middle-class single man, he likely would have lived in an inner-city apartment, in an ethnic neighborhood. He probably didn't own a car, and took public transit like the streetcars. If he owned a house, it would likely have been an inheritance, and even the more opulent houses of the time would have looked small and plain to our eyes.
Because of the Great Depression, unmarried men were becoming the norm, rather than the exception. Men of the community who were sought after but remained single were suspect to gossip, but less ire than you might think; in the '30s, American queer culture was going through a very sharp revival, escaping the rigid Victorian era and before the puritan 40's/50's. But as a mixed-race man, it may have been illegal for a white woman to marry him, as the Jim Crow laws forbade the marriage of white people and Black/Asian people.
A middle class city household would have had electricity, gas heating, indoor plumbing, but may not have had running taps or a gas stove. Even with decent means, Alastor might have been using a potbelly woodburning stove, a dry sink/washbasin, wooden bathtub, and did his own laundry instead of sending it to the neighborhood laundresses. He may or may not have bothered with an icebox. Fresh groceries needed to be cooked and eaten soon, as things like pasteurized milk or store refrigeration wasn't a thing.
If he had enough money, then he almost certainly hired maids or other servants. Whether the maid came over just once a week, or did the shopping and laundry every other day, hired help was much more common back then, especially if he had no wife.
The most popular musicians in 1933 were Bing Crosby, George Olsen, and Leo Reisman. As you might have noticed, it was trendy for the lead singer to be backed by an orchestra, not a 'band' of just four other people like today. The most popular radio shows were Dick Tracy, Sherlock Holmes, and Doc Savage. They were recordings the radio station would buy and then broadcast, or sometimes the actors were live on the air. The radio host was usually not the journalist - the production team was responsible for writing his script.

personal canon loredump don’t mind me lol
my canon is very divergent from show canon so there’s that too
also these are copy+pasted from discord
(might have a special tag for this maybe idk-)
i think ive figured out my canon maybe kinda
of course a lot of bad stuff happened but not to the extremes the show got to
the company, jcjenson, were behind a lot more events since in my canon the solver isn’t sentient or anything. idk how it “found” me but it integrated itself into my code and i figured it out, learned how it worked
maybe i was purposely exposed to it, maybe it was random chance. like i said idk
im incredibly grateful that tessa found me and not some company grunts because she gave me a proper name (she wasn’t too creative at naming tho lol) and fixed me up
hell, she liked me so much she gave me hair styled after her own hairstyle (i was secretly the favorite amongst us all, although j was found first and is therefore the “oldest”)
when i first actually used the solver accidentally, n was there and we learned about it together. v eventually got curious enough but j wanted none of it ofc
but tessa found out and thats how jcjenson became involved
i can understand her thinking; “one of my drones is exhibiting strange behaviors and has weird robot magic stuff that i can’t fully understand even with my technical expertise” and she didn’t know that the company would capture me that night at the gala, so i cant blame her but if she had simply asked i could’ve given her everything she wanted to know
but yeah, jcjenson were the ones who turned my “siblings” into disassembly drones, with my (very much non-consensual) help
see, i dont overheat and need to consume oil since i can handle the solver just fine
n, v and j can’t. jcjenson basically copied the solvers code and put it into them, before modifying them to be oil-extraction machines essentially
then theres copper-9, blablabla thats kinda all the same but it was tessa and i who went there together
our job was to remove the solver code from those three, but copper-9 (and cabin fever especially) was an entire can of worms we weren’t prepared for
and, fun bonus:
one good thing is that i have disassembly drone wings and tail because it automatically makes any drone look cool and im cool
plus also flying is fun
time for non-discord message stuff
in terms of who is more “stable” with the solver, it goes like this;
n, v, j & nori are/were the least stable; they all had the solver put into their code while still alive (ill explain myself later) and thus can’t handle the power/demands of it, leading to overheating
yeva and uzi surprisingly enough are somewhat similar; while yeva also had the solver put into her code, the patch she received nerfed the solver, thus giving her the abilities of the solver without much problem. uzi is different; because nori never got the patch, the version of the solver uzi got was kinda nerfed but not fully
next is doll; due to yeva receiving the patch, doll has the most nerfed solver version. she can’t overheat but she also can’t heal either
as for myself; the solver essentially revived me and became part of my own code, kinda changing it to properly fit the solver. i don’t overheat but i can heal

– Mechanical Bird – | Prologue
Back to the Future.
Summer 1999.
On the device serving as a clock, the date 05.07 was illuminated with red light bulbs. Because of a colossal catastrophe that occurred 27 years ago due to critical oversights by scientists, after which the country still had not recovered, it seemed like it had just happened.
After nuclear accidents at power plants, flooded oil rigs, collapses of laboratories, and various epidemics in major cities, people decided to completely abandon and prohibit most technologies so that such horrors would never happen again.
Well, the government made another mistake, and this time it's the last one that will undo all the achievements of science and technology. They shut off electricity across the country, silly, right? Definitely. They gave some speech about "ecology," but really, the higher-ups just left their offices running on backup power, claiming it was necessary to monitor the situation.
But it seems like no one was planning to improve the situation, not at all.
Over time, those who realized the hopelessness of their situation fled to neighboring countries, where there were restrictions, but not as severe. The first few hundred stayed across the border, getting used to different laws and thanking their lucky stars for being saved. But after crossing into foreign territory once too often, it became inconvenient for governments to keep so many refugees and soon special military patrols were sent to the borders, sending everyone back.
The last hope of living a peaceful life in comfort and convenience had now been cut off, so people had no choice but to... accept it.
The city began slowly but irreversibly turning into ruins, giving way to nature. At first, the population tried to "revive" the architecture and technology, but nothing improved. Buildings and some non-essential factories, without maintenance, became overgrown with moss and gradually fell apart. Only residential houses looked more well-kept and suitable for living.
Predictably, after such widespread devastation, looters appeared, roaming the abandoned and sometimes inhabited houses in search of goods, medicine, and food just to survive.
Money no longer made sense, as banks had ceased to function, replaced by weapons, food, valuable items, and psychoactive substances. Even behind a locked door of an apartment building, you could never be sure of your safety.
Many staged rebellions and futile attempts to break through the concrete walls of the main administration, but what good were they when even the phones and televisions didn't work? Even the lowest echelons of society already understood that the government was concerned and would only ever be concerned about its own ministers.
Over several decades, the criminal world, as in the 60s and early 70s, was reaching dangerous levels of activity again. Those heading there were not only escapees from malfunctioning prisons but also regular civilians. No technologies can obscure the animal instinct. In such a situation, the desire to survive only intensifies.
Some formed groups, competing with others for a place in the sun and a chance to prolong their existence for another day. This often led to muffled sounds of gunfire, rifle-butts striking, someone's shouts, and swearing heard at night.
If you listened closely to the nighttime silence, which never brought peace or safety, you could make out faint knocks, the hum of an engine from a suspicious black van with tinted windows driving by, the creaking of window shutters, and the cries of birds.
Eyes had grown used to the darkness of dusk, when the sun sets behind the tall buildings on the horizon, and ears had grown used to the absence of the once familiar sound of the air conditioner and the brief signals from the power meter.

Reviving the Beast: Essential Tips for Porsche Engine Repair and Maintenance

The engine services and the maintenance are given high priority not only in the Porsche cars. Porsche being such special luxury cars have engine that generate a lot of power. Imagine if the engine of the Porsche car gets some issues in which it would be unable to show its better performance, then it would be quite odd for the people who have driven Porsche regularly. If the engine would not work properly, then the looks, the styling of the car would not have that much effective to impress others. Hence if you have a Porsche and you want it to perform well for long, then this article can be very much useful for you. Here you will know about the tips for the engine maintenance and service in Porsche.
The Porsche engines and need for its regular maintenance
The Porsche cars are specially known for their power, their speed and the handling, that is the overall excellence in the performance that it shows. The reason for their high amount of output power is their engine. These excellently well performing engines make the running quite impressive. The cars run very smoothly even at such high speeds that provide comfort at any time to the driver. Due to such powerful engines, these cars act just like beasts when they run on roads.
The reasons behind such power in their engines is the best quality components that are used. Such components make the car to run very well but can wear and tear quickly if not maintained. To make the car run like newer car for long, you have to maintain it and get it serviced, you have to fix the problems whenever you get to know about its symptoms. But just by the regular maintenance, you can simply reduce the chances of having the engine problems. By the regular maintenance, you can be able to drive your car with speed for long and still the engine would not show any issues. Just you have to be alerted and not to ignore any signs of issues.
Engine repair and maintenance tips
If you own a Porsche, the first thing you have to keep in mind is that you have to take care of the engine well always. Better the engine would get maintained, better will be its performance and longer will be its life. For better performance, you have to follow some important tips which are given as follows.
Check your oil regularly. Use the dipstick to get to know about the updates on the oil level and the color. Low oil level can lead to lack of lubrication in engine and then make the engine to wear. The oil or contaminated oil has also similar effects on the engine, even it can become worse. If the oil color is darker, then you have to replace it. Top up the oil if the level is low. To make it easy, better you change the engine oil from your car once in every 7500 miles.
Check the air filters if it is clogged or not. The air filters are very useful as they make the air cleaner before it enters into the engine. This useful component can be that much of harmful when it gets clogged by the dirt it traps from the air. More the dirt it traps, more it becomes clogged and more it gets clogged, lesser will the flow of air into the engine. Hence check the filter well and replace it. Basically, it takes between 20000 - 30000 miles to make the filter clogged.
Check your tires too well. Because your tires can affect your engine performance and also the stability of your car. Flat tires or uneven wear can make the tires to rotate roughly, making it harder for the drivetrain to rotate it and this can stress the transmission and the engine. By the help of a pressure gauge, you can measure the tire pressure and inflate the tire. If there is uneven wear, then you may have to replace it.
Check the coolant and the other fluids like the transmission fluid, power steering fluid, etc. If these fluids would not be there in proper levels, then there would be severe damage to the engine and lead to overheating and frequent wearing of its essential parts.
Check the spark plugs and the ignition coils. They may not work properly if they are covered with carbon deposits, you have to clean out this carbon to make them work normally.
There can be other problems as well like the fuel filter clogged, fuel leaks, vacuum leaks, sensor problems which can malfunction the engine. They may need some complex method of diagnosis. You have to take the help of some professionals.
Conclusion
Get your engine maintained regularly and get the engine problems fixed in time. You can also refer your manual to take know many things regarding the fixes in your car. For any damages, the replacement would be required which can be done at the Porsche repair centers.

How Trump could use sanctions in negotiations with Russia

In the run-up to his departure from the White House, President Joe Biden has slapped a number of major new sanctions on Russia’s financial systems and energy sector.
The U.S. originally threatened Russia with “the mother of all sanctions” as Moscow prepared to invade Ukraine in February 2022. Since then, Washington and its allies have gone after tens of thousands of Russian citizens and companies in a bid to eat away Russia’s economy and stifle its war machine.
The effects of the sanctions have taken time to kick in while Russia has managed to circumvent the bans, particularly on its energy sector. But proponents of sanctions say they are a crucial tool in the economic war with Moscow and point to Russia’s stuttering economy as an example.
They have also gotten under the skin of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He tried to get grain and fertilizer sanctions lifted by offering to revive the failed Black Sea grain deal in September 2023, to no avail.

In less than a week, President-elect Donald Trump will take over from Biden, casting uncertainty over the future of the sanctions. Trump has not yet indicated what he will do with the sanctions. He could lift certain sanctions, impose more, or simply leave everything as it is.
Experts agree, however, that Trump will follow the proposal of Keith Kellog, Trump’s Ukraine envoy who has suggested offering Russia sanctions relief as part of potential peace agreements. Trump’s advisors are currently preparing a sanctions strategy to pressure Moscow toward a peace deal, Bloomberg reported on Jan. 16. But any change in the sanctions regime by Washington without proper coordination with allies like the U.K. and EU could undermine their efforts to contain Russia and wind up strengthening Moscow, experts say.
“If some major energy sanctions are lifted, Russia gains revenues and improves its financial situation and starts accumulating money again to produce missiles and weapons,” said Yuliya Pavytska, the manager of the sanctions program at the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE).
Trump’s Options
Trump will not be able to wipe away all the sanctions imposed on Russia on his first day in office. The Russian sanctions fall into two camps: executive, which the president has the power to impose or repeal on his own, and statutory, which requires going through Congress.
The easiest sanctions for Trump to lift will be those implemented under Biden’s executive order, says Yuliya Ziskina, a senior legal fellow at Razom for Ukraine, a nonprofit. These include travel bans, asset freezes, the oil price cap, bans on new investments in Russia, as well as bans on imports and exports of non-essential Russian goods like vodka and seafood.
“(Trump) could also lift technology export controls, which would be a pretty big deal because a lot of (U.S.) microchips find their way into Russian missiles,” Ziskina added.
“(Trump) could also lift technology export controls, which would be a pretty big deal because a lot of (U.S.) microchips find their way into Russian missiles.”
The statutory orders require a back-and-forth between Trump and Congress. Trump would have to make determinations to Congress to get approval followed by a review period where Congress can issue a joint disapproval if they want the sanctions to remain which in turn can be vetoed by Trump. But Trump’s veto could be overruled by Congress with a two-thirds majority.
Congressional approval will be needed if Trump wants to lift the REPO Act, which greenlights the confiscation of the roughly $4-5 billion in frozen Russian assets in the U.S, as well as sanctions imposed under the 2017 Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
Negotiations
Trump’s main goal will be to negotiate from a position of strength, said Steven Moore, a former chief of staff in the U.S. House of Representatives and founder of Ukraine Freedom Project, an NGO. He thinks Trump could tighten up sanctions and step up enforcement to plug the loopholes.
“Trump would be better served focusing on sanctions enforcement in the first year of his term to create some pain to which Vladimir Putin might be receptive to ending,” he said.
One of the glaring issues is Russia’s shadow fleet which negates oil and gas sanctions through a network of hundreds of tankers. Biden cracked down on the fleet last week, imposing sanctions on 183 tankers, two dodgy insurance companies, and major oil producers Gazprom Neft, which is a subsidiary of state-energy giant Gazprom, and Surgutneftegas.

Both companies produce over 1 million barrels of oil a day and make an estimated $23 billion a year, according to the U.S. Treasury.
Biden’s recent actions also include sanctions on Gazprom Bank and 50 other banks in November 2024. Most recently on Jan. 15, he imposed sanctions and secondary sanctions on 150 Russian and non-Russian financial institutions, energy companies, enterprises supporting the Russian military, and entities involved in sanctions evasion, particularly in China.
These actions could be part of the outgoing administration’s plan to “amass bargaining chips” for the next administration when Trump takes over, said Taisa Markus, adjunct professor at the University of Illinois College of Law and visiting professor at Kyiv Mohyla Faculty of Law.
“Some of these new sanctions can be lifted unilaterally by a president. Others require going to Congress perhaps revealing some desire on the part of the Biden administration to ensure the incoming administration keeps up pressure on Russia,” she said.
“Or if Putin doesn't do what Trump wants, Trump can sanction more. Under existing authority, there is a lot more a President can do in terms of imposing sanctions or enforcement without going to Congress,” Markus added. Trump’s team has shared differing views on sanctions, which could impact his decision-making. Vice President-elect JD Vance brushed off the Russian sanctions, saying they have “gone off like a wet firecracker” and objected to the Repo Act believing it limits the president’s political power. Marco Rubio, Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, backed the idea of using sanctions as leverage over Russia. “(Sanctions) will have to be part of this conversation in terms of bringing about a peaceful resolution,” he said, CNN reported on Jan 15.
Frozen Russian assets face uncertain future under Trump
There are some $4-5 billion of frozen Russian assets in the U.S. and it will be up to President-elect Donald Trump to decide what to do with them when he takes office in January 2025. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Western nations froze around $300 billion of
The Kyiv IndependentDominic Culverwell

Trump’s advisors are in the early stages of preparing a sanctions strategy, Bloomberg reported, citing sources close to the matter. This could include some relief for sanctioned oil producers if a peace deal looks likely or expanding sanctions to bolster Washington’s position.
Sanctions are only one tool in the West’s economic war, said Moore. He thinks Trump will ramp up energy production in the U.S. and increase liquified natural gas (LNG) sales to Europe to relinquish Russia’s grip on Europe’s LNG market and drive down Russian prices.
Trump could also broker a deal with Saudi Arabia to bring down the price of oil following Riyad’s decision to hike production last October which would further hinder Russia’s economy. The fossil fuel is Russia’s lifeline and it earned 12.4 billion euros ($12.6 billion) from oil exports in December alone, according to the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).
“Anything that can increase economic pressure is something that may keep Russia from being able to fight. That's what we're looking for,” Moore said.
Fall out
Lifting sanctions does not appeal to everyone, particularly in Ukraine, largely due to distrust of Putin to keep his word. In Congress, opinions are split with pro-Ukrainian politicians less likely to back lifting sanctions.
“There's a very strong argument for keeping the sanctions in place long after a peace agreement to ensure compliance,” Markus said.
“There's a very strong argument for keeping the sanctions in place long after a peace agreement to ensure compliance.”
Lifting sanctions means that Russia will be able to expand its revenue streams again. If Putin agrees to a ceasefire, he could bolster Russia’s economy and war machine and attack again if there are no security guarantees in place for Ukraine, like NATO membership.
“There has to be something very big from Putin's side, like fully getting out of Ukraine. (Lifting sanctions) is definitely not worth a ceasefire, as Putin won’t follow it,” said KSE’s Pavytska.

The consequences could be dire if Trump doesn’t act in coordination with other partners, particularly Europe. Since the sanctions are designed to work in tandem with each other, lifting U.S. sanctions would undermine European efforts and alleviate the economic burden on Russia.
This could force the EU and U.K. to bear greater responsibility and step up on their own, said Pavytska. Or it could erode unity between Ukraine’s allies.
“ If the U.S. is seen as regaining access to Russia's market while Europeans keep their sanctions in place and their companies don't get access to that market, they're at a competitive edge,” said Ziskina.
This may aggravate tension within Europe and embolden anti-Ukrainian factions within the EU like Hungary and Slovakia to push for sanction relief, she added.
In general, Congress looks at sanctions favorably as they are perceived as costing the U.S. “nothing,” Ziskina said. Trump’s administration will look at sanctions through the eyes of U.S. interests and what’s best for them.
“It's not necessarily about helping Ukraine,” she said.
“There’s more support for sanctions within Congress than there is for allocating a budget to Ukraine’s defense,” she added.
Trump sending ‘non-public messages’ on war, he must force Putin to diplomacy, Zelensky says
“These are his (Trump’s) messages, both public and non-public. And he is a capable leader to put pressure on Russia,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

5 Easy DIY Decor Ideas to Transform Your Living Space on a Budget
Revamping your living space doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. A little creativity, time, and effort can go a long way in transforming your home into a stylish, comfortable sanctuary. With DIY projects, you not only save money but also add a personal touch that reflects your taste and personality. Here are five easy DIY décor ideas to elevate your living space while keeping costs low.

1. Revive Walls with DIY Artwork
Blank walls can make a room feel lifeless, but filling them with art doesn’t have to break the bank. Creating your own artwork is a fun and cost-effective way to breathe life into your space.
Start by gathering materials you might already have, such as canvas, paints, or even old picture frames. For a minimalist aesthetic, you can paint abstract designs using neutral or monochromatic colours. If you’re feeling adventurous, try creating a gallery wall by combining your artwork with framed family photos or prints from thrift stores.
Alternatively, experiment with materials like fabric or wallpaper remnants. Stretch a piece of bold, patterned fabric over a wooden frame for instant wall art. Another option is to create geometric patterns using washi tape directly on your walls. It’s easy to apply, removable, and perfect for renters who want to avoid permanent changes.
This DIY approach not only adds visual interest but also gives you a sense of accomplishment every time you walk into the room.
2. Upcycle Old Furniture for a Fresh Look
Old furniture doesn’t have to end up in the landfill. With a bit of imagination and elbow grease, you can turn outdated or worn pieces into stunning focal points. For instance, a shabby wooden coffee table can be sanded down and repainted in a bold colour or finished with a wood stain for a rustic look.
Chairs, dressers, or even bed frames can be transformed with simple updates. Changing drawer handles, for example, can make a piece look entirely new. Handles in modern designs are affordable and widely available at hardware stores.
Another popular upcycling project is creating a feature piece using decoupage. Select decorative paper, such as old maps, vintage prints, or even magazine clippings, and adhere them to furniture surfaces using decoupage glue. This technique works particularly well for side tables or cabinet doors, adding a unique and artistic flair.
By upcycling, you not only save money but also reduce waste, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
3. Create Cosy Ambiance with DIY Lighting
Lighting plays a crucial role in the mood and functionality of a room. Adding unique, handmade lighting can elevate your décor while staying within budget.
One easy project is to create a DIY pendant light using items like wire baskets, mason jars, or even paper lanterns. For example, wrap fairy lights around a wire basket to create a soft, industrial-style chandelier. Mason jar lights are another versatile option, requiring only jars, bulbs, and a little wiring (easily done with online tutorials).
Candles are also a fantastic way to add warmth and ambiance. You can make your own candles using inexpensive kits or by repurposing old jars and filling them with wax. Add essential oils for a touch of fragrance and a more personalised vibe.
For a truly unique lighting feature, try a shadowbox light. Fill a shallow frame with a decorative cut-out or photo, then place LED strip lights behind it. When illuminated, the shadowbox creates a soft glow and doubles as a piece of artwork.
4. Spruce Up Your Space with Indoor Plants and DIY Planters
Nothing brings life into a space quite like greenery. Indoor plants not only improve air quality but also add a sense of tranquillity to any room. However, buying decorative planters can be costly, so why not make your own?
Repurpose everyday items as planters, such as tin cans, teacups, or glass jars. A coat of spray paint can instantly turn these items into chic plant holders. For a more rustic look, wrap your containers in twine or burlap.
You can also build a small vertical garden using wooden pallets or an old ladder. Attach small pots to the structure and fill them with low-maintenance plants like succulents or herbs. Vertical gardens are particularly effective in small spaces, as they maximise greenery without taking up floor space.
For those who prefer a modern aesthetic, try creating concrete planters. All you need is a bag of quick-dry cement, some moulds (such as plastic cups), and a bit of patience. These sleek planters provide a contemporary contrast to lush greenery.
Plants are an affordable way to refresh your space, and making your own planters adds a personal touch to the display.
5. Transform Textiles for a Fresh, Customised Look
Textiles are often overlooked, but they have the power to completely transform a room’s aesthetic. Creating your own cushion covers, curtains, or throws is an easy way to update your décor without spending much.
Start with old or plain fabric that you already own. Using fabric paint or dyes, create custom patterns like stripes, polka dots, or even tie-dye effects. Stencils are another option for creating intricate designs on cushions or tablecloths.
No-sew projects are great for beginners. For example, make a throw blanket by cutting fleece fabric to your desired size and fringing the edges. Simply tie the fringes together for a cosy, handmade finish.
Another idea is to layer your space with rugs for added texture and warmth. Instead of buying new ones, try making a rag rug using old T-shirts or scraps of fabric braided together. It’s an eco-friendly way to add character to your floors while reducing waste.
Customised textiles not only brighten your space but also make it uniquely yours.

Conclusion
Transforming your living space doesn’t have to cost a fortune. With a little creativity and effort, you can use DIY projects to make your home feel fresh, inviting, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s creating custom artwork, upcycling furniture, or crafting planters and textiles, these budget-friendly ideas allow you to add personal touches that truly make a house feel like a home.
By taking on these DIY projects, you’ll not only save money but also enjoy the satisfaction of having created something beautiful and meaningful for your living space. So, gather your materials, let your imagination run wild, and start transforming your home today!

Are you someone who loves to use extra-virgin olive oil for your cooking, baking, and salad dressings? Wanderfull choice! As per a report, “ as more and more people are choosing a healthy diet, people started incorporating olive oil in their diet for their neumarous health benefits, and about 50% of U.S. households now use olive oil.”
Extra virgin olive oils have been used for cooking in the house for decades, but did you know it’s also a multitasking superstar outside the kitchen? That bottle of extra virgin olive oil sitting in your pantry can do so much more than add flavor to your food.
In this blog, we will explain different types of olive oil and also explore seven creative and practical ways to incorporate this versatile oil into your daily life—beyond just cooking!
Types of Olive Oils
Before you learn how to use this versatile ingredient in various ways, let’s explore different types of olive oils available in the market these days. Each has its own unique qualities and uses.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO): This is the finest quality olive oil, made from the first pressing of olives. It’s rich in antioxidants, contains the purest flavor, and is packed with nutrients.
Virgin Olive Oil: The second-best available quality in this segment, made from the second pressing of olive. It has slightly lower quality than EVOO but is still natural and unrefined.
Pure or Regular Olive Oil: It is a blend of cold-pressed and processed oils suitable for high-heat cooking.
Light or Extra Light Olive Oil: This highly processed version has a milder flavor and is often used in baking or frying.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Surprising Uses
A Natural Makeup Remover
EVOO is an excellent makeup remover. It can gently break down the toughest, even waterproof makeup without stripping your skin’s natural oils. Just dab a small amount onto a cotton pad and wipe away your makeup.
2. Skin Moisturizer
Say goodbye to expensive lotions! Extra virgin olive oil is packed with antioxidants and healthy fats that hydrate and heal dry skin. Mix a few drops with your favorite essential oil and create a DIY moisturizer. This natural solution gives your skin a youthful glow, even if you have sensitive skin.
3. Pet Lotion
Is your furry friend suffering from cracked paws or dry patches? Just rub a little on your pet’s dry spots to moisturize and soothe their skin. It’s safe, natural, and effective.
4. A Luxurious Hair Mask
Revive your locks with an olive oil hair mask. Warm about ¼ cup of olive oil, then massage it into your scalp and through the ends of your hair. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes before washing it out. The monounsaturated fats in EVOO deeply hydrate your strands, nourish your scalp, and keep your hair soft and shiny.
5. Cuticle Softener
Dry, rough cuticles can ruin the look of even the best manicure. A drop of EVOO can fix that! Gently rub a tiny amount onto your cuticles to soften and moisturize them.
6. Leather Reviver
Precious leather goods like bags, jackets, or pairs of shoes are tens to look dull if not in use for long time. Extra virgin olive oil can restore its shine and suppleness. Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of oil, then buff it out to make your leather items look as good as new for a long time.
7. Diaper Rash Soother
Diaper rashes can irritate your baby’s soft skin! But EVOO’s contain natural anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the irritation and gradually minimize the rashes. It’s a safe, natural alternative to commercial diaper rash creams.
Conclusion
Extra virgin olive oil is more than just a kitchen staple—it’s a versatile, all-natural solution with a variety of uses beyond cooking. From enhancing your culinary experience with rich flavors to nourishing your skin and hair, this multipurpose oil is packed with benefits. It also helps maintain the quality of leather goods and provides gentle relief for diaper rashes, making it a must-have in every household.

Embrace the Essence of Nature with Natural Perfume in India
In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards more sustainable and eco-friendly choices in all aspects of life, including personal care products. Among these, natural perfume in India has emerged as a popular choice for those who wish to indulge in luxurious fragrances without compromising on their commitment to a greener lifestyle. These natural perfumes, crafted from pure and organic ingredients, offer a unique and authentic scent experience that is both gentle on the skin and kind to the environment.
The Rise of Natural Perfumes in India
India has a rich history of using natural ingredients for beauty and wellness. From the ancient Ayurvedic practices to the use of essential oils in rituals and ceremonies, the Indian tradition of natural scents is deeply rooted in its culture. In recent years, this tradition has been revived in the form of natural perfumes that are free from synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, and harmful preservatives.
These natural perfumes are made using plant-based ingredients such as essential oils, floral extracts, and spices, which are blended to create a wide range of captivating scents. The growing awareness about the potential health risks associated with synthetic fragrances has further fueled the demand for natural alternatives in India.
Why Choose Natural Perfume in India?
Opting for a natural perfume comes with numerous benefits that go beyond just smelling good. Here are some compelling reasons to make the switch:
Chemical-Free Fragrance:
Natural perfumes are free from synthetic chemicals, phthalates, and parabens, making them a safer choice for your skin and overall health. These perfumes rely on the pure essence of flowers, herbs, and spices to create their unique scents.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable:
The ingredients used in natural perfumes are often sourced from sustainable and organic farms, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. Additionally, many natural perfume brands in India use eco-friendly packaging, further reducing their carbon footprint.
Gentle on the Skin:
Natural perfumes are less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, as they do not contain harsh chemicals or artificial additives. This makes them suitable for people with sensitive skin or those prone to allergies.
Long-Lasting Scents:
Despite being made from natural ingredients, these perfumes often have a long-lasting fragrance. The natural oils used in their formulation have a slower evaporation rate, allowing the scent to linger throughout the day.
Unique and Personalized Scents:
Natural perfumes offer a more personalized scent experience, as the fragrance can interact with your body chemistry to create a unique aroma that is entirely your own.
Popular Natural Perfume Brands in India
Several Indian brands have embraced the trend of natural perfumes, offering a range of luxurious and eco-friendly options. Here are a few popular names to consider:
Forest Essentials:
Known for its Ayurvedic roots, Forest Essentials offers a collection of natural perfumes made from pure essential oils and botanical extracts. Their fragrances are inspired by ancient Indian rituals and are designed to balance the mind, body, and spirit.
Kama Ayurveda:
Kama Ayurveda is another brand that draws inspiration from traditional Ayurvedic practices. Their natural perfumes are crafted using 100% natural ingredients, including rare herbs and flowers, to create exquisite and timeless scents.
Auroville:
Auroville is a community in Tamil Nadu known for its commitment to sustainable living. Their perfume line features a range of natural scents made from locally sourced ingredients, reflecting the essence of the region.
Vaadi Herbals:
Vaadi Herbals offers an affordable range of natural perfumes that are free from synthetic additives. Their fragrances are created using essential oils and herbal extracts, providing a refreshing and invigorating scent.
Soulflower:
Soulflower specializes in handcrafted natural products, including a selection of natural perfumes. Their fragrances are made from cold-pressed oils and steam-distilled essential oils, ensuring the purity and potency of the scent.
How to Choose the Right Natural Perfume
Selecting the perfect natural perfume can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Here are some tips to help you find the right scent:
Understand Your Preferences:
Consider the types of fragrances you are drawn to, whether they are floral, woody, citrusy, or spicy. This will help you narrow down your options and choose a scent that resonates with your personal style.
Test the Fragrance:
Whenever possible, test the perfume on your skin before making a purchase. Natural perfumes can react differently with your body chemistry, so it's essential to see how the scent evolves over time.
Consider the Ingredients:
Look for perfumes made with high-quality, organic ingredients. Check the label for a list of essential oils, botanical extracts, and other natural components used in the formulation.
Think About the Occasion:
Choose a perfume that suits the occasion or time of day. Lighter, fresher scents are ideal for daytime wear, while deeper, more intense fragrances are perfect for evening events.
Support Ethical Brands:
Opt for brands that prioritize ethical sourcing and sustainable practices. By supporting these brands, you contribute to a more eco-friendly and responsible beauty industry.
Conclusion
Olga The trend towards natural perfumes in India is a reflection of a broader shift towards more conscious and sustainable living. By choosing natural fragrances, you not only indulge in luxurious scents but also make a positive impact on your health and the environment. Whether you’re new to natural perfumes or a seasoned enthusiast, there’s a world of exquisite fragrances waiting to be explored.

Revitalize Your Curls: The Magic of Oil for Natural Hair
Introduction
Natural hair, characterized by its unique and beautiful curls, coils, and kinks, has been gaining recognition and celebration in recent years. Many individuals are embracing their natural hair textures, and in doing so, they are discovering the importance of proper care and maintenance. Natural hair is diverse and can range from loose waves to tight coils, each with its own set of challenges and requirements. One of the most potent tools in revitalizing and maintaining natural hair health is the use of oils. These oils, packed with essential nutrients and moisture, possess the magic to transform dull, dry hair into vibrant, luscious curls. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the world of oils for natural hair, helping you unlock the secrets to reviving and nourishing your curls, without endorsing any specific brands or products.
Understanding the Beauty of Natural Hair:
Natural hair, often referred to as afro-textured or textured hair, is a celebration of diversity and individuality. It defies the conventional beauty standards and represents a connection to heritage and culture. Understanding the uniqueness of natural hair is the first step in embracing and caring for it.
Challenges Faced by Natural Hair:
Natural hair comes with its own set of challenges that individuals must address to keep their curls healthy and vibrant:
Dryness: Natural hair has a tendency to be dry due to its structure, which hinders the even distribution of natural oils along the hair shaft.
Shrinkage: Natural hair can experience significant shrinkage, meaning that it appears shorter than it actually is when dry. This can be frustrating for those who desire length.
Tangles and Breakage: The curl pattern of natural hair can lead to tangles and knots, increasing the risk of breakage during detangling.
Scalp Health: Maintaining a healthy scalp is crucial for overall hair health. Issues like dryness, dandruff, and inflammation can affect natural hair.
The Magic of Oils for Natural Hair:
Oils have long been recognized as essential components of natural hair care routines. They offer a range of benefits that cater to the unique needs of textured hair:
Moisturization: Oils are excellent at moisturizing natural hair, providing essential hydration to combat dryness and prevent breakage.
Frizz Control: Oils help control frizz and add shine to natural curls, enhancing their overall appearance.
Detangling Aid: Some oils provide slip, making it easier to detangle natural hair and reduce the risk of breakage.
Strengthening: Certain oils can strengthen hair strands, promoting resilience and reducing breakage.
Popular Oils for Natural Hair:
A variety of oils are well-suited for natural hair, each with its unique properties and benefits. Here are some popular options:
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is a beloved choice for natural hair due to its ability to penetrate the hair shaft and provide deep moisture. It also helps in reducing protein loss and promoting hair health.
Olive Oil: Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, making it effective in moisturizing and softening natural hair. It also adds shine and manages frizz.
Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil closely resembles the natural oils produced by the scalp. It is an excellent choice for maintaining moisture balance and promoting scalp health.
Argan Oil: Argan oil is known for its ability to reduce frizz, add shine, and repair damaged hair. It is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E.
Castor Oil: Castor oil is famous for its potential to promote hair growth and reduce hair breakage. It is particularly beneficial for strengthening natural hair.
Shea Butter: Shea butter is a natural emollient that provides deep moisture and is often used as a sealant to lock in moisture for natural hair.
Methods of Applying Oils for Natural Hair:
Incorporating oils into your natural hair care routine is straightforward and can be done in various ways:
Pre-Poo Treatment: Apply oil to your hair before shampooing as a pre-poo treatment. This helps protect your hair from the drying effects of shampoo.
Scalp Massages: Gently massage oil into your scalp using your fingertips to promote blood circulation and support a healthy scalp.
Hot Oil Treatment: Warm the oil slightly and apply it to your hair and scalp. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave the oil on for about 30 minutes before shampooing.
Leave-In Conditioner: Some oils can be used as leave-in conditioners. Apply a small amount to your hair to keep it moisturized throughout the day.
Sealant: After applying a water-based leave-in conditioner, seal in the moisture with an oil to prevent it from evaporating and keep your curls hydrated.
Tips for Effective Use of Oils for Natural Hair:
Choose the Right Oil: Select an oil that aligns with your hair's needs and characteristics. Experimenting with different oils can help you discover the most suitable one for your hair.
Consistency is Key: To see significant results, consistency in using oils for natural hair is essential. Make it a regular part of your hair care routine.
Moderation: While oils are beneficial, using excessive amounts can lead to buildup. Use them in moderation to avoid heavy, greasy hair.
Heat Protection: When using heated styling tools, apply a heat protectant product to your hair to shield it from damage.
Scalp Health: Pay attention to scalp health by keeping it clean and moisturized. A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair.
Conclusion:
The magic of oil for natural hair lies in their ability to rejuvenate, moisturize, and enhance the beauty of your curls. Embrace your natural hair journey with pride and confidence, knowing that you have the power to unlock the secrets to revitalized and luscious locks. By choosing the right oils, applying them effectively, and maintaining a consistent routine, you can transform your natural hair into a stunning expression of your identity and individuality. Celebrate the beauty of your curls, and watch them thrive and flourish.

4 Ways to Maintain Clear, Healthy-Looking Skin This Summer
From the beach to the backyard, you and your family love making the most of summer. Of course, the sun and high temperatures can influence the look and feel of your skin. But not to worry! There are plenty of ways you can keep your skin looking its best all summer long, starting with a gentle zinc sunscreen. Give your skin an advantage this summer with these four tips.

Choose Mineral Sun Protection
The importance of sun protection can’t be overstated. It may be the number one way to maintain clear, healthy-looking skin, especially during the summer. Mineral sun protection, like a broad spectrum zinc sunscreen, can help keep the sun’s UVA and UVB rays at bay. Look for one with a formula full of plant-based ingredients that avoids potentially harsh ingredients.
While not all zinc sunscreens are created equal, you can trust a high-quality, EWG Verified™ product to protect your skin in the heat of summer. A gentle formula is essential. It can ensure everyone can use sunscreen, even those who may have more sensitive skin. It can be one less thing you and your family have to worry about! You can apply sunscreen and then get out there and do what you love, whether it’s visiting the local pool, hiking, or simply enjoying a summer backyard barbecue!
Use Lightweight Facial Sunscreen
Sunscreen can be just as important for your face as it is for the rest of your exposed skin. However, some people may shy away from facial sunscreen because they worry it’ll be too heavy or they’re concerned about how it may impact their skin. So look for lightweight formulas that take these concerns into consideration, particularly during the summer. Some facial tinted sunscreen options can be highly effective while being lightweight and gentle for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Plus, some of the best come in a small, travel-friendly size perfect for upcoming trips.
Wash Away Buildup with Body Wash
There’s nothing quite like washing away the day with a lightly aromatic body wash. Over the course of a summer day, your skin can go through a lot. It’s exposed to sun, dirt, and other impurities. At the same time, you may work up a sweat! This can all build up, which can lead to dull, tired-looking skin. So give your skin an advantage with a eucalyptus body wash. As you restore your skin with plant-based ingredients like shea butter and calendula, you can revive your senses with the refreshing scent of eucalyptus oil.
Moisturize Your Face and Body
Another great way to maintain clear, healthy-looking skin all summer long is to focus on hydration and moisturization. As you spend time enjoying the summer, the sun and warm air can pull moisture from your skin. It doesn’t take long before the skin can start to look dry and tired. But when you moisturize your skin before heading out, you can change that. You can find lightweight SPF moisturizers, dedicated moisturizing creams, and body lotions. When you get into the habit of applying a moisturizer before enjoying a summer day, you can give your skin a hydrated advantage throughout the summer and beyond.
About Babo Botanicals
Skin, hair, body, and sun care products look and feel different with Babo Botanicals. They’re gentle, effective, and great for you, your partner, and your kids. The family-owned brand fosters a love for and a connection to nature using plant-based ingredients and nourishing formulas.
