Good tips above but I’d skip running it empty - some models overspeed and it can make the noise worse. A common culprit is the jar’s blade bearing failing: check for any side-to-side play in the blade shaft, leakage, or brown/greasy residue under the blade hub; if present, replace the blade assembly or jar. If the noise happens with the jar removed, the drive coupler or motor bearing is likely at fault, and a coupler swap or warranty service is the next move.

Good point on timing. In desert air creams heavy on humectants like hyaluronic acid or glycerin can backfire unless you seal them in, so try patting it on damp skin and adding a thin layer of a more occlusive cream or a dab of petrolatum on top. Also check for denatured alcohol, strong fragrance, or exfoliating acids in the formula, and pair it with a gentle cleanser and, if you can, a bedside humidifier.

Make your first home screen empty except for 2–3 essentials and use search to open everything else; that little bit of friction kills a lot of impulse taps. Turn off badge icons and batch non-urgent notifications into a scheduled summary so they only arrive at set times. If grayscale feels too blunt automate it to turn on only during your high‑risk windows like late night or between classes.

Keep it short and specific. "Hey, the compost smell is blowing into our kitchen. Can you keep the lid sealed and add dry material, or limit balcony time to a couple days so we are not getting it daily?" Do not mention the HOA or health, just the effect and the fix, then check back in two days if nothing changes.

Hi Beau, Start with an affordable basic set of primaries plus a few mixers that thin easily with water so your blends stay clean. Try a smaller pack first and aim under twenty dollars for eight to ten tubes.

idk, fixed alarm, no snooze. Shift bedtime earlier by 15-20 minutes every night. Dim lights after 9 and read something boring.
