The before and after of my Monica Geller hoarder room....
If anyone was following my 'cleaning out my Monica Geller horder room' journey from earlier this year I did actually finish the room at the end of June. Everything has since been taken to the dump or donated. I've been meaning to post this for a while and just kept forgetting to.
Not gonna lie, I'm a little embarrassed to post this, but I'm gonna do it anyway 😬😬😬. Maybe it'll keep me from letting it get that bad again...
Before:
This picture is about 2 years old, I forgot to take a recent 'before' pic and found this one in my gallery. I had worked in there a couple times since taking it so it wasn't actually that bad when I started on it this time, but it was still bad!
After:
The stuff on the left is what's staying and the stuff on the right is more of what's being donated (except the backpack on the doorknob, that's staying).
~~
The majority of what's being donated (minus the stepper that you can only see the handlebars of).
8 bags of crap that have already made it to the dump. Along with an un-pictured broken oscillating fan and a stroller I played with as a kid that my Dad randomly brought over from his storage sometime last year.
~~
Now that's it's (mostly) cleaned out I eventually want to get a pull out sofa bed so if I ever want/need to have someone stay over there will be a place for them to sleep other than the couch in the living room.

Fair Trade
By going beyond accreditation practices, consumers and companies can reach those at the bottom of the global social production ladder. Nonetheless, these efforts require purchasers to take personal responsibility for their impact, rather than relying solely on certifications. Simply by being more thoughtful and ethical in our sourcing practices, we have a huge opportunity to create brighter futures for all people and their families throughout the supply chain.
https://borgenproject.org/fair-trade-product-markets/
Despite many well-intentioned consumer attitudes, fair trade product markets frequently feature marketing strategies that conjure up imperialistic images [...]
[...] In products marked as fair trade, the certification might only apply to the product’s raw materials, rather than the full process of production. [...] A 2014 study theorizes that these practices are somewhat effective, “although on a comparatively modest scale relative to the size of national economies"
Social Media conversations about Fair Trade Practices:
[From user seriousxdelirium] - Like almost all other labels for coffee, it's absolutely useless. It only applies to growers large enough to afford the fees, and is not regulated well enough to make meaningful impact on the industry. If you really care about this sort of thing, do some research and develop an understanding of what you think a fair price is for farmers, and ask roasters what they paid for that coffee. Most good roasters are willing to be transparent about that sort of thing, and even publish transparency reports where you get a breakdown of the entire transaction.
From user Ramakrishna Surathu:
[...] Here are some reasons why fair trade may not always be as fair as it seems [...]
1. Market Access and Power Imbalances: Fair trade initiatives often focus on small-scale producers in developing countries, who may face challenges in accessing global markets and negotiating fair prices. Power imbalances within supply chains, influenced by factors such as geography, politics, and market dynamics, can limit the ability of producers to fully benefit from fair trade practices.
2. Certification Costs and Barriers: Obtaining fair trade certification can be costly and time-consuming for producers, particularly small-scale farmers and artisans with limited resources. Certification fees, auditing expenses, and compliance with standards may pose financial barriers and administrative burdens, leading some producers to forego certification altogether.
3. Limited Impact on Poverty Alleviation: While fair trade aims to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods, its impact may be limited by systemic barriers and structural inequalities. Addressing poverty requires broader social, economic, and political interventions beyond the scope of fair trade alone, such as access to education, healthcare, land rights, and infrastructure.
4. Market Volatility and Price Instability: Fair trade prices are often based on predetermined minimums, which may not fully reflect fluctuations in global market prices. Producers may be exposed to market volatility and fluctuations in demand, which can impact their income and livelihoods, particularly in commodity markets subject to price instability.
5. Complexity of Supply Chains: Fair trade supply chains can be complex and challenging to navigate, especially in regions with limited infrastructure and logistical challenges. Ensuring compliance with fair trade standards, maintaining transparency, and traceability throughout the supply chain can require significant investment in monitoring and management systems.
[...] Some manufacturers also use tricks. For example, some products do not explain exactly which part of a product was produced fairly. Another trick is to increase the percentage of "fair" ingredients by subtracting out the water content. The credibility is of course "fair watered".
[...] The statement here should not be that fair trade is useless, but one should always question things or understand them better and not just be blindly guided by seals in the purchase decision. Since this works so well, manufacturers like to use such seals or make one up themselves.
[...] rather than cutting out the middle man, and offering farmers a more direct compensation for their work, Fair Trade still facilitates a level of bureaucracy that supports an uneven distribution of revenue.
[...] The price point that separates Fair Trade produce from the rest of the market is often significant enough that lower-income households cannot afford to budget for it. This means that Fair Trade cannot reach mass markets in a way that would really effect wide-scale change, and instead serves as a token gesture to alleviate the guilt of middle-class consumers.
[...] [premium pricing coffee] is a worthy move if the coffee is of a high quality, but if it is not of sufficient quality to merit this price tag, then it risks turning consumers away from Fair Trade produce, and further impeding its reach to mass markets [...]
Fair Trade is a concept worth embracing, but first it must prioritize effective and transparent processes of production and distribution. What Fair Trade aims to achieve is admirable, but what it could potentially achieve is far greater [...]

5 Questions to Ask While Visiting a Mattress Shop
One of the most significant decisions you'll make for your home is selecting a new mattress, and it's more difficult than ever. There is a perfect mattress type for almost every body type and sleeping preference, and new mattress kinds are always being released at your neighborhood mattress shop.
Making the best decision for long-term sleep comfort may benefit from professional advice. A trip to a mattress retailer is a fantastic opportunity to speak with professionals who can help you find the perfect fit. Here are six queries you must ask a mattress retailer before making a purchase.
Which Mattress Size Do I Need?
While choosing a mattress size, your body type and the people who will be sleeping with you should be taken into account. If you're shopping in person, the first one will be obvious, but be sure to tell the salesperson helping you about your living arrangement so they can direct you to the appropriate mattress.
Should I Go Firm or Soft?
Sleeping on a mattress with the improper firmness can be uncomfortable. The ideal fit for you will rely on a number of elements, chiefly how you sleep. The needs of back, side, and stomach sleepers vary. Typically, back sleepers choose the firmest mattress with some give for comfort and back support. Sleepers on their stomachs will desire a little more.
May I try it out?
The main advantage that visiting mattress stores may provide is in this regard. Many mattress retailers offer in-store mattress testers so you may feel the mattress before buying. Nevertheless, trying it out in the store is not the same as really sleeping on it.
Do You Provide Any Discounts?
While looking for the greatest mattress at the best price, it can be beneficial to be prepared to haggle. Mattresses can be pricey. If there are any discounts available, check the website of the retailer as well as the websites of any brands you might be interested in. Even if there aren't any evident savings, don't be afraid to inquire whether the specialist is aware of any.
How Can I Get My Mattress Financed?
A mattress is a significant investment, but even if you can't currently afford it in full, a good night's sleep is priceless. Furniture stores are frequently more accommodating with payment plans than online sellers or big box stores since they are aware that not everyone can afford the entire price right away.
Before making a purchase, enquire about any special payment options or financing options with the employee or management. Be sure you have all the extras you could need, such as warranties, insurance policies, and other possible hidden charges.
A Direct Link to Your Household Keep an eye on pets, kids, and guests with a 110° wide-angle lens, 1080p HD video, and enhanced night vision. 2-way communication makes it easy to talk with your household when you're away; all from Cove convenient app.
