Elf eye putty12/31/2023 Yes! I love how this primer softens my skin and creates a lovely, satiny, smooth finish for my skin before I start my glow-up makeup routine! It’s super moisturizing (especially for the price point), so if your skin is really oily, I wouldn’t recommend this product. The Elf Poreless Putty Primer is currently the number 1 best-selling primer in America, but it is also sold by distributors worldwide, where it remains a popular option for those after a high-quality product without a brand premium, but is it worth it? Do I Recommend ELF Poreless Putty Primer? ELF is a proud cruelty-free American brand and the maker of many successful dupes that rank high on makeup lists. Everyone who likes makeup has heard of ELF and has either used it or will soon. The brand never stops amazing high-end and drugstore fans alike. How to Find the Best Setting Powder for Dark Skin - September 17, 2023ĮLF is the queen of drugstore makeup.Best Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Alternatives - September 26, 2023.NYX Total Control Drop Foundation Review: What I Really Think - October 7, 2023.Try it for yourself!" - arica kayĮlizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Coating Hair Treatment: $7.15 at Amazon. I’m a real human and I’m not paid for this. I am genuinely shocked and highly recommend you guys try this. I added NO PRODUCT and my hair was soft, not frizzy, shiny, and just so easy to work with. All I did after my shower was brush my hair. My hair didn’t look this good after my last Olaplex treatment and blowout. My hair looks like I spent all day at the salon. Promising review: "Better than Olaplex. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article. I just add some of this to my conditioner when I wash my hair and it always comes out looking great! The smell is really nice too, and what a lovely price!" - Amy W. My hair is soft and shiny and my curls are bouncy with no frizz. Promising review: "This is a miracle product. Reviewers with all hair types (straight to curl types including 4C) and bleached and color-treated hair all love this! Btw, this is the same brand that makes the Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask so many people swear by. Hanacure All-in-One Set: $110 at Hanacure (enough for four masks). Skin1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks: $21.72 at Amazon (for eight masks). Bottom line, this is better than Hanacure both price and results wise." - Dana Dane A lot of the reviews mention a bad smell which I was worried about but I didn't notice a smell and I'm so sensitive to smell I can't used scented lotions, lip balms etc. T his Zombie mask is every bit as magical with better results in my opinion. Hanacure who?!? don't get me wrong, the Hanacure mask is amazing and magical too but it's expensive and impossible to maintain the twice weekly mask schedule recommended. I've never noticed a difference like this. I didn't notice any changes to my skin immediately but a few hours later when I looked in the mirror I was shocked at how wonderful my skin looked. I heard SO many wonderful things about the skin 1004 zombie mask and at about $2.50 a pop, why not?! Let me tell you, this mask is just straight up magic. Promising review: "I was gifted the Hanacure masks and loved them but they're just way too pricey. Just wait 15 minutes and rinse to reveal your glowiest glow yet, thanks to the albumin (aka egg white) and aloe formula.

Squirrel proof bird feeder cage12/31/2023 With the Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper, your backyard birds will enjoy dinner and a show. Lid may not be as secure as other designs Type: Tube | Material: Metal | Dimensions: 4.13 x 4.13 x 12.38 inches | Weight: 1 pound | Feed Capacity: 0.98 pounds | Number of Ports: 4 All in all, you’re getting a secure feeder that will attract a variety of birds while keeping furry wildlife away. The metal construction also ensures this feeder lasts several seasons if you properly wash it and ensure the feed doesn’t become overly saturated from rain or winter weather. The wire mesh grid is also much smaller compared to other feeder designs that still allow squirrel paws to grab seeds. Similar to our best overall pick, this feeder also has weight-activated perches that close the ports when a heavy pest lands on them. We also think this bird feeder has a smart design to attract both perching and clinging birds thanks to four metal perches and a cage surrounding the feeder. While this feeder’s capacity is the smallest on our list (just 0.98 pounds of feed), we think it’s a great compromise compared to the larger bird feeders on our list that may require more frequent cleanings. If your yard doesn’t typically attract a large amount of birds or you’ve never owned a bird feeder before, we recommend the Squirrel Buster Mini Squirrel-Proof Feeder. Type: Tube | Material: Polycarbonate | Dimensions: 6 x 6 x 23 inches | Weight: 2.1 pounds | Feed Capacity: 5.1 pounds | Number of Ports: 6 However, we still love the thoughtful design of this feeder and think it will easily attract a variety of songbirds to your yard. A clinging bird can perch on a tree upright and even upside down, so they prefer bird feeders that have a wire cage surrounding them rather than just perches. Our only minor complaint is this feeder is not designed for all birds, such as woodpeckers and nuthatches, that prefer to cling while they eat. We also love that you can buy a baffle ring-to further deter squirrels-if you do plan to use this feeder on a pole. This feeder comes ready to hang, but you can also purchase it with a pole-mount adaptor if you don’t want to hang it directly on a tree. In addition to having six perches around the bottom of this feeder, it also comes with a cardinal ring, which is designed to make feeding easier since they cannot turn their heads as easily as other birds. This feeder has weight-activated perches that will close the seed openings when a heavier pest like a squirrel or crow tries to land on it. The Brome Squirrel Buster Plus Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder is one of the most versatile bird feeders on the market, making it our top choice on our list. Here are the best squirrel-proof bird feeders on the market to attract a variety of birds and deter pests. While picking products, we evaluated them based on their durability, mounting options, seed capacity, and target species. The excellent news is birdseed will inevitably spill, and many larger birds can usually gain some access to what has spilled on the ground below."īased on Witko’s advice, we’ve spent several hours researching the best squirrel-proof bird feeders on the market. While many larger species, such as our jays or larger woodpeckers, won't be able to enter the feeder, the feeders are readily usable for our smaller species, such as chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, and several species of finch. "Bird feeders that deter squirrels through something like a cage are much more small bird-friendly. According to Chad Witko, an outreach biologist for Audubon’s Migratory Bird Initiative, when searching for a feeder, look for one with features designed for the types of bird species you want to attract to your yard. The various shapes and perches offered on bird feeders will also affect the type of birds you attract. You can find these bird feeders in a variety of styles, including hanging, platforms, and pole-mounted. Unlike standard bird feeders that have large wire mesh openings that allow squirrels to easily grab seeds, squirrel-proof bird feeders have mechanisms that activate when a squirrel lands on the bird perch or tray. The Spruce Home Improvement Review BoardĪ squirrel-proof bird feeder provides nourishment for your feathered friends and keeps mischievous squirrels out of their food.

Microsoft pinball12/30/2023 Like some sort of black magic, nobody in our office could pull off that trick from that point forward. The ball almost seemed to pull away when we tried to send it back up the chute. This all worked fine until the pattern mysteriously stopped working one day. We'd reach millions of points doing nothing but maintaining that back-and-forth, and everyone in the office seemed to pick up the rhythm instantly. With this discovery, the friendly competition devolved into a test of keeping that pattern going for as long as possible. The ball would fuel, drop-down, and we'd send it back up the chute. After a bit of friendly competition, we discovered a pattern that let us keep the ball cycling between the left flipper and the chute that "refuels" your ball (above the black hole, left-side of the board). Downvote to remove | v0.2Ībout a year ago our office rediscovered Space Cadet Pinball on an old machine. The control pad had a total of ten digital fire buttons: six buttons controlled with the right thumb (named ABC XYZ), two shoulder buttons (one left, one right), and two buttons controlled with the left thumb, one named start, the other marked with a shift key symbol (as the SideWinder software allowed to use this button to shift controls for the ABC XYZ buttons - on the driver side, it was just an action button like the others). The left side of the controller features an eight-direction d-pad which function varies depending on which mode the controller is on. Games such as Motocross Madness (which was bundled with and designed for the controller) profited from this physical interaction. This reaction on movement is quite similar to some of the features of the Sony PlayStation 3 SIXAXIS. The Freestyle Pro, released in 1998, was a unique gamepad, as the up-down-left-right directions in analogue mode were controlled by the physical movement of the controller, more precisely by the absolute pitch and roll position of the pad. I know the cd was mostly white, it advertised "100+ games" and it even had a few pics of games and a Mortal Kombat logo even though it didn't have it. The stranger one was a cd-rom with hundreds of games belonging to so many consoles, I can remember a few of them like weird Atari games, a demo with the first stage of Megaman X, and some games that would seem to be some pc games but those I cannot remember well but there they side scrollers mostly. It covered the story from Raditz to Frieza's return to Earth. It had an odd selection of music like the Sonic the Hedgehog theme song and Eiffel 65's Blue. It used artwork made in Paint but the sprites came from Super Mario World, Dragon Ball Z : Hyper Dimension, & Dragon Ball Z : Legend of the Super Saiyan. We found a floppy disc that had a really weird Dragon Ball Z game. I had a run in with a couple of strange things like that. It was 2 cds that had these, a casino game where you could pawn off your belongings for more money, Mahjongg with different kinds of tiles like countries that spoke different languages, and Earthworm Jim.

Queen of hearts alice and wonderland12/30/2023 The Duchess also has a baby and a cat (the Cheshire Cat). The footman enjoys staring at the sky for days on end, oblivious to most people in or out of the house. She employs a footman, whom Alice thinks resembles a frog, and a Cook, who is addicted to pepper and who throws crockery and kitchen utensils over her shoulder with no concern for those who might be hit. The Duchess lives in Wonderland in a small house just outside the Caterpillar's forest. The painting, however, was done 200 years after her death. It has been said that the painting is a portrait of Margaret, Countess of Tyrol, who had the reputation of being the ugliest woman who ever existed. In her first appearance, the Duchess seems nearly as unpleasant as the Queen herself, but later on treats Alice with friendliness and respect.Īccording to Martin Gardner in The Annotated Alice, John Tenniel's drawings of the Duchess were inspired by Quentin Matsys's The Ugly Duchess (c. The Duchess is an antagonist of The Queen of Hearts. Carroll does not describe her physically in much detail, although as stated in Chapter 9, "Alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the Duchess was very ugly and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon Alice’s shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin." Her hideous appearance and short stature is strongly established in the popular imagination thanks to John Tenniel's illustrations and from context it is clear that Alice finds her quite unattractive. The Duchess is a character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865. Alice and the Duchess, 1865 illustration by John Tenniel |
