Hello, I have a question about snap-in/blank keychains. I'm thinking of buying them and personally assemble each keychain myself, but I'm not sure how they would fare in comparison to company bought charms (e.g. Vograce). They are generally lighter and are limited with one shape (a rectangle), in comparison to the usual acrylic charms where the actual shape of it follows that of the design.For New Regressors
Hi! My name’s Jamie, and I was recently in the same boat as you. I know little space is a little (ha) weird, and it takes some getting used to. Its ok. Take a deep breath.
Some things that you’re gonna need to know for headspace that no one told me:
- Its weird. Its a weird transition, especially if you’re not used to it. Its ok for it to feel like a big change, and to not understand everything about it yet. You’ll learn with time. Its ok.
- Your emotions are going to increase tenfold. With becoming younger, your emotional control decreases. But don’t be afraid to feel. This is all natural.
- Tired is an emotion!! Especially for Depressed regressors, we get tired really easy. And when we get tired, we get cranky. Take care of yourself and sleep when you need to.
- Neflix Kids is gonna save ur life.
- Animations and readings of kids books are online/on youtube if you don’t own anymore.
- If you don’t have any money or are too anxious to buy kid stuff (pacis, etc) its ok. These are nice to have, but not necessary. I don’t have any pacis yet, and that’s ok. Buy them when you have time/money. Don’t stress about it.
- Don’t forget breathing exercises. I know that sounds weird but if you have anxiety and are also in littlespace, taking a minute to take deep breaths is integral to feeling ok.
- Caregivers are wonderful. However, it’s ok to not have a caregiver. I’ve been regressing for a long time but only recently learned what a CG was. I don’t have one. I don’t know that I will have one. That’s ok, as long as you remember to take care of yourself.
This is something in your life that you’re definitely going to have to get used to. And that doesn’t mean it will impact your every day school or work life, if you manage it well. For involuntary regressors like me, work on minimizing the effects of being little when you’re somewhere where you can’t be until you get home. I know it’s a big change to adjust to. But it’s part of you and that’s ok.
Kiriska: Custom printed acrylic charms will generally give a higher sense of quality and “worth” compared snap-in charms with a paper insert, but if the latter are priced accordingly, then they may fare well as a budget option for customers.
Pros of snap-in charms:
- Easier to produce
- Easier to small-batch (produce small quantities per design)
- Faster to produce (& easier to last-minute)
- More suitable for designs with backgrounds
- More durable than single board acrylic charms w/o epoxy coat
Cons of snap-in charms:
- More time-consuming to produce
- More manual labour (may vary)
- Lower perceived quality
- Lower average sell price
- Limited shape options
WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO HE GOD FREAKING SCENTED? MAYBE SOME OF US HATE STRONG SMELLS AND WANT TO DEAL WITH THEIR DRY SKIN BY USING SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T MAKE THEM WANT TO CHOKE???? I DON’T WANT LIME CUCUMBER OR FREAKING LAVENDER. I WANT TO BREATH NORMALLY! PEOPLE ALWAYS BUY ME “PEONY LAVENDER” SHAMPOO OR WHATEVER AND NOW I WANT TO DIE!

🌿 Rosemary Mint Shampoo Bar with Neem & Shea Butter
olive oil, coconut oil, rosemary, castor oil, virgin cold pressed neem, peppermint tea, peppermint oil, essential oil, bentonite clay, organic shea butter, organic sustainable palm oil, organic neem oil, sodium hydroxide
Rosemary essential oil has been used extensively in hair shampoos and conditioners for its many wonderful benefits. It stimulates the follicles, nourishes the scalp, encourages longer, stronger hair and helps alleviate dry, flaky scalp. Peppermint has many of the same benefits as rosemary as well as helping to balance the scalp’s oil production, making the hair look vibrant and full. The cooling sensation of these essential oils also helps to relieve itchy scalp.
Neem oil is excellent for hair and scalp. The neem tree is an evergreen which has been used for centuries in India for various skin treatments. When used in a shampoo bar, neem oil promotes healthy scalp and shiny hair. It has anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.
Bentonite clay is added to help remove oils and impurities to leave the hair feeling super clean. Unrefined shea butter lightly conditions the hair and benefits dry, flaky scalp.
Shampooing typically increases pH factor. Human hair is acidic, with a pH factor of 4 to 6. Apple cider vinegar has a pH factor of about 4. Using ACV helps restore your hair’s natural pH balance, which also helps maintain your hair’s protective layer. Our shampoo bars typically measure at 7.5 - 8 instead of the 8 - 10 most natural shampoos boast. Apple cider vinegar eliminates nasty chemicals and dead cells from your scalp. This allows the skin to breathe naturally and opens the pores in the skin. A healthy scalp prevents dandruff build-up and flaky scalp. ACV also has anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities that can eliminate any itchiness.
Canola oil has some great qualities for hair soap. It won’t leave behind a lot of oils or residues that are going to weigh down or slick up your hair.
Castor oil is famous for skin & hair repair and is a wonderful nourishing oil. It is the only oil that contains Ricinoleic acid which is also a conditioning acid.
Coconut oil is a great cleanser. It removes excess oil from your skin/hair when saponified. It makes super bubbles, I love it. It also makes the bars harder.
Shea butters ingredients lead to the improvement of the scalp structure. Shea butter improves existing hair and gives birth to new hair.
Sunflower oil is rich in vitamins like A, B, C and E and minerals like iron, potassium and calcium. The content of essential nutrients, antioxidants and fatty acids in sunflower oil make it highly beneficial for hair health. Sunflower oil is known to have high levels of Oleic Acid, which is an Omega 9 acid. This Omega 9 acid is known to be one of the essential acids that are needed to be a part of your diet to stimulate natural hair growth. This Omega 9 acid is also responsible in preventing brittle hair and hair loss.
Jojoba oil is very high in monounsaturated fatty acids (98% of total fatty acids); also rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E (very rich in), Myristic Acid (a saturated fatty acid), Plant Wax (similar to sebum). Which means it is readily accepted by the scalp and does not mess with the scalp’s natural balance. It works well as an agent for reducing hygral fatigue (the swelling and shrinking of hair as it it gets wet and dries that can weaken the hair fiber over time). As a conditioner jojoba helps to add shine, elasticity and softness to hair. Jojoba is an emollient – it fills in cracks that are on the surface of the hair cuticle, i.e. it helps to repair hair damaged by heat and styling.
Neem Oil is an all around skin healer and is called natures pharmacy for a reason. As it is anti fungal it can really help with dandruff or issues that cause dandruff. Anti bacterial and anti microbial, it can improve the health of your scalp.Now we get to the infusion. Grapeseed oil is a lightweight oil which we use to infuse our hair-centric herbal blend.
* Neem Leaf Powder
* Nettle Leaf
* Rosemary
* Horsetail
* Birchbark

The Saw Palmetto, Nettle and Rosemary are natural DHT blockers! (Actually the Rosemary oil is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) Neem leaf powder helps to fight skin ailments like fungus, bacteria and microbes that can harm your scalp and cause itchy patches and dandruff. anonymous said:
hello! i'm currently looking into the process of plastisol heat transferring and i was wondering if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing or other forms of transferring. i'm mainly concerned about cost but it seems like this could be more profitable in the long run than outsourcing all my apparelKiriska: No experience here. Any followers have advice? I highly recommend looking in communities more specifically geared towards apparel small businesses, or even asking around local shirt shops to see how they do things.
Generally speaking (as I know exactly nothing about heat transfer apparel), and without considering the cost of your own time or labour, it will always be most profitable in the long run to not have to outsource, but how long the “long run” is will vary, and it may be a while before it’s clear the investment in materials and/or machinery is worth it.
Outsourcing may be better if you find that your time is better spent elsewhere, or if you don’t have space for a complicated setup.
The cost-benefit analysis for outsourcing VS not outsourcing is different for everyone, so you just have to weigh the pros/cons of your own situation. A good place to start is to consider how many shirts (or whatever) you have to sell before you can pay off whatever initial costs are of setting up your own apparel printing rig.
