8 Benefits of Blackout Curtains that You Can Bring into Your Home
When it comes to custom blackout curtains, these seem to be hidden gems that so many people don't know about. While curtains are often known for hiding light, they either filter it or all they do is just darken the room but not black it out. As humans, you need to keep a close eye on your circadian rhythm, and the light coming from outside is going to impact that. In fact, even the noise outside is going to impact, which is why more people are looking towards blackout noise reduction curtains.
But what exactly are the benefits of blackout curtains? Are they just another curtain for your home in the name of aesthetics? While these curtains add plenty of elegance to the home, they're a complete lifesaver too. So, here are some benefits of blackout curtains that you can bring right into your home!
Protect home from UV rays
Sun bleaching is awful, and it has a way of making furniture look terrible and wooden floors curl up. While shades can usually protect the home from this, sometimes it's not enough, or maybe
it's just not your style. Fortunately, you can use blackout curtains to help you out. they can protect your furnishings from exposure to harmful UV rays, making your home more energy efficient. UV rays are not only bad for your interior, but they're not good for your skin either. So you'll be doing yourself and the interior of your home a major favor by doing this.
Energy efficient
While blackout soundproof curtains can offer noise reduction for your home, did you know that it's an energy-efficient way to insulate your home? In winter, you can insulate your windows by using blackout curtains, often times; these are also paired with thermal curtains though you can purchase a two-in-one-set too. These insulated window treatments reduce heat loss from your home by up to 25 percent. In general, if you want to cut down hot in the colder months and take a more eco-friendly approach to warm your home, this is the perfect option!
What about the warmer months? Well, they can help during those months too! During the summer months, the airflow in the doors, windows, and even the sun's heat against the window bleeds into the interior. It's far from ideal, and it makes the home feel very stuffy. Thanks to the thick material that blackout curtains provide, it's able to withstand the heat from the windows, and it can hold back the airflow that's coming in. This means that it's going to take a lot less power to cool off your home, leaving you to save money in the long run.
Easy to clean
Even though there are common mistakes when it comes to the installation of blackout curtains, you won't have to worry about the clean-up! There are a lot of curtains out there that can be challenging to clean. While some require to be steamed, dry cleaned, or wiped with solution, blackout curtains have a reputation for being easier.
While it all depends on the material and the blackout curtains' layers, you can expect it to be easy and not stressful. Just make sure you check the label to see how they need to be washed and dried. Most back tab blackout curtains will only need a gentle cycle in the washer, while others just need to go to the dry cleaners. Make sure you know exactly how to clean yours so you can avoid any damage.
Reduce noise pollution
Blackout curtains are not only fashionable, but they also help to keep noise from coming through windows. If you've never had blackout noise reduction curtains in your room, then you've never had the best sleep of your life. Some types of blackout curtains are also made of soundproof materials. The best curtains will be able to help you get a good night's sleep and reduce the noise in your home. There are a variety of styles to choose from, from heavy velour to modern fabric. It's really up to your preference, but the material and the layering can make a difference.
Enhance sleep
If you want to improve the quality of your sleep, it is important to block out the light. Just think about it, those pesky lights outside make it hard to sleep, and the sunlight doesn't make it any easier either. The best way to do this is with blackout soundproof curtains.
The benefits of using blackout curtains for you and your family include reduced noise from the outside world and total darkness for a better night's sleep! Blackout curtains are a great way to block out light and prevent natural light from waking up. You can also use them to help you get into the habit of sleeping in a dark room.
Ideal for newborns
In addition to blocking out the lights, these curtains can help maintain a recommended temperature for nurseries. Newborns require a consistent temperature in order to get enough sleep. This is because they have difficulty regulating their bodies. Keeping temperatures between 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit will help them get the rest they need. Thanks to their insulation power, you can count on black-out curtains to offer this. Plus, this is needed for nurseries as you can rest assured that no light is getting to wake up your baby.
Preventing passers-by from seeing into your home
If you live in a city or even a suburb, you know that you get slightly less privacy compared to someone living in a rural area. With that said, it can be fairly irritating being able to see shadows or have someone pass by you that looks into your home. While there are light-filtering curtains that are great for filtering out light and giving that subtle hint of privacy, sometimes it's not enough.
Fortunately, black out curtains will do just the trick. While yes, they do block out light, you can at least feel comfortable knowing that no one will be able to see your silhouette (regardless of
time) in your home. So if you want as much privacy as possible, you must pay attention to this!

i really like the book of proverbs because on one hand you've got your poetic musings on god and wisdom and on the other hand you've got the very practical advice of "if you loudly greet your neighbor early in the morning, he will think of it as a curse"

"Remember that you are a dust and unto dust you shall return—and you shall return with some pretty boy."
Happy Wip Ash Wednesday Ash <3

"People say it out loud all the time." Andrew says with a roll of his eyes. If he had a nickel for every time he'd heard someone talk about Neil's attractiveness he'd have enough for a second Maserati.
Neil flinches.
"Does that make you uncomfortable?" he asks.
"I guess I just didn't realize people would talk about it around you." Neil says as Andrew pulls into a spot. Andrew looks at him.
"It is bold of them." Andrew agrees.

Word Count: 595
---------
“Jimmy, are you aware that you’re molting?” Tango asks bluntly.
“What?” He looks at them, confusion in his eyes. “I’m– I’m not a bird? I’m not even a hybrid, I’m just human!”
“Yeah? Well…” Fae points to the trail of bright, pretty-looking, golden feathers leading from the bed to the kitchen. “Explain that.”
Jimmy blinks, turning away from the pan in front of him as he simply stares.
Beside him, Tango leans against the counter. They seem to take him in, at least more than usual, but this time under an almost anxiety inducing glare.
Then, as Jimmy moves, the netherborn seems to wince. It’s an echo of pain as Jimmy rubs his shoulder, groaning slightly like he got hit by something.
“Jim, sit down for a bit, I can handle the pancakes and you can…” He twists his hand, leading back to the trail. “Clean up those, carefully.”
“Yeah, I’ll- I’ll do that…”
It doesn’t take long for the food to be finished, takes even less time for Jimmy to start picking up the feathers before he soon stops. Pain seeming to overcome the younger man, leaving him curled up in bed.
“Do you have chronic pain?” Tango asks simply.
“No? I’m just– I don’t know why, but it hurts a lot.”
Tango sighs before putting the plates to the side, they can worry about eating later when his soulmate isn’t in nearly as much pain.
That and after they’ve found out why this is all happening.
“Get on the bed and take off your shirt.”
“What?” Jimmy yelps.
The netherborn laughs. “Just– listen, I need to check something.”
He can’t help but find the dusting of pink, almost red, over Jimmy’s cheeks and ears at least a little adorable. But he does as told, shedding the fabric as–
His upper back is practically covered in feathers. Messy and uneven, looking like they’re never been preened a day in their life. Further upon this, some look to have small drops of blood on them, staining the gold underneath.
Jimmy lays on the bed with a groan, laying on his stomach as he hides his face in a pillow.
Once fae’re next to the bed, right beside Jimmy, fae hover a hand but… he’s in too much pain, likely wincing even at the smallest of touches.
“Did you know about this…?” He asks quietly.
JImmy remains silent, trying to hide even more.
“Did you– When did this happen? How long–”
“It wasn’t this bad last time!” Jimmy complains.
“‘This bad’? What do–”
“With– with every death, I’ve grown these feathers… it started on my second to last life last time, just a few, but– after we fell, and we respawned, there were more and–”
“You still should have–” Tango stops himself, fire crackling in his own ear.
They take a slow breath, evening out into some semblance of calm. At least by his usual standards.
“Sorry, you just– you worried me, Jimmy. Sorry…”
Tango places a hand onto their partner’s lower back, rubbing a gentle circle until he feels Jimmy melt into the touch.
“Do you want me to help with them? Some of the pain might be coming from unclean feathers and, according to Skizz, those tend to hurt a lot.”
“Please?” Jimmy whimpers, and if it hadn’t been for his partner’s obvious pain, or how worry is spinning in every single thought, he’d probably be getting other ideas.
“Alright, just stay still, can’t promise that this won’t hurt you.”
Jimmy stays quiet, but turns his head to smile up at Tango. “Thank you…”

I'm all about ship and let ship, interpret what you want how you want but can someone please explain how anyone watched Wonka and came away with a romantic interpretation of Noodle and Wonka's relationship?
Like at the most basic level they're friends, but at the most intimate they're brother and sister. There is no romantic or sexual tension or chemistry between them (or between Calah Lane and Timothee Chalamet).
Like the dancing scene, people thought they would kiss... the scene is about a whimsical man bringing some joy into this girl's life and she basically finally has a friend who makes her feel a bit optimistic. There's love, but it's certainly not romantic love.
#also like... calah lane and i assume Noodle too are 14. so probably more like 13 when filming.#timothee is 28 27 when filming.#wonka I'd assume is meant to be around 20-24.#ally rambling#wonka 2023#noodle wonka#willy wonka#timothee chalamet#I'm not sure if some people saying it are joking. i hope they are. cos like. calah and noodle are whole ass children.#calah even referred to him as her big brother in her birthday post.#not to be parasocial but I feel slightly bad for TC that people are interpreting his performance that way.
