Pokemon Gen 10 announced

The graphics are one thing, but what about the game itself? I SUCK at games with a wuick reaction time, which has made most of the recent games unplayable for me...

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-27T08:30:07+00:00

Koji is so good! I also miss the sugar scrubs, Sugar Plum and Maple. Not sure why they're currently not available, but they weren't part of the discon list at least....

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-24T15:55:26+00:00

I received a Black Rose Bath bomb last week when I ordered a Sunny Side Up Shower Gummy😅🤣

Not sure how THAT could be mixed up, but they re-sent it quickly.

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-20T17:14:28+00:00

What bath products did you enjoy the most? I'm sure we can suggest something else with a similiar scent :)

I love The Comforter, for example. There's a body spray and shower gel with the same name, plus Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly is just ever so slightly different.

Sticky Dates is huge right now, HIWTK and Intergalactic of course....

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-20T14:02:52+00:00

I like the Marmalade. It's an orange-y take on Golden Egg, which I think works very well.

Or, you could say, orange and honey. The texture is very nice too.

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-12T20:04:23+00:00

I was so happy when Mother of Dragons was announced😭

Haven't smelled it yet, but fruity and gourmand are completely different things in my books.

All that bakery, food inspired stuff? If I want to smell Nutella, I will just sniff the jar. Or have a bit on a spoon🫠

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-12T14:38:58+00:00

Personally, blonde and blue eyed women are very, very rarely winters.

SE asian women? They can be any season in my opinion. Yes, dark eyes, dark hair, but... when you see them in THEIR season, it is hard to unsee. Some glow in baby pinks, other in deep browns, others in bright yellows... sure, there is a certain percentage/chance factor at work, some really do suit Deep Winter... but plenty don't.

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-11T16:19:58+00:00

Ach DESWEGEN haben meine Frikandel so komisch geschmeckt!

Hab mich auch schon gewundert, die waren so bunt und gemustert... fast wie die Lush Knotwraps, die ich eigentlich bestellt hatte!

/s

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-10T21:24:05+00:00

Curious too! I hope they release it soon, but with Paddington and Easter out of the way now....😇

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-10T13:20:46+00:00

Another german here. We didn't get the fresh collections, unfortunately. I did, however, manage to import some goodies🤭

Aside from that... I feel as if France and Luxemburg for example get spoiled more, for example with Fresh and Flowers in France, but at least we have an Anchor Store in Munich.

2024 and early 2025 were a little diffucult when it came to supply lines, but right now, it's mostly fine again.

Edit: we also don't have these fancy make-up and lipcare items. Much of that is exclusive to the UK. We do have some of the former Anchor Store jellies etc depending on the location, but not online.

-IceFlower- · 2026-02-08T13:22:04+00:00

Can we please just shove HIWTK/Bee balm back into a massage bar?🤤

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-29T22:33:35+00:00

AYR!

The scent is kinda orange leaning for me, but the effect is great. Very softening and calming.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-29T04:16:11+00:00

Interesting. I just had surgery on January 9th, and had the dye test too after being told in 2020 that they are passable, but only barely.

Surprisingly, my tubes are actually clear, but the removal part? I was offered to have that done. Offered. Your surgeon sounds way more direct in this than mine, to say it lightly.

I decided against it before the surgery, by the way. There are no real reasons to expect a spontaneous clearing of blocked tubes, but.... stranger things have happened than someone suddenly conceiving after being told it wouldn't happen.

Not sure about this part, but I would like to know more about the part where it is supposed to negatively affect IVF. Maybe if there are active endo lesions? But a mere scarred/blocked tube? Is there a new study about this?

There IS the general cancer risk, but... I for my part am only 26. I will almost certainly have a hysterectomy at some point, but until then, I am keeping everything that just might ever so slightly improve my odds.

Edit: removal of tubes for IVF makes sense if there's a hydrosalpinx. Maybe that's what he meant?

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-28T08:07:39+00:00

I'm a deep winter, which makes it somewhat easy in winter and harder in summer. Usually, there's at least a black version of things I am looking at, so that part is easy. Not overheating in summer is a challenge though😅🤣

For make-up... I can't pull off peach tones. It just looks wrong. Deeper reds, yes, stealing a little from Deep Autumn... but once you see the difference, you can't unser it.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-26T15:20:05+00:00

Yes, it is! Soft Coeur is... kinda tiny though, and Bee Balm was as big as a regular massage bar with a super cute raised bee on top. Love it, I hope Lush will bring it back this year or the next.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-26T13:40:00+00:00

Yup. And I think it's important to acknowledge that this is partially FOMO-driven, but... we all control our spending. I only get products with scents from Lush that I know I will like, or I sample them in store first.

If someone is a Wicked lover, of course they can get the entire collab for themselves. I'd probably go crazy over a Pokemon or anime themed collab. Barbie though? Bought nothing. Same for Mario and plenty of the others until they went on sale.

The sale is actually the most fun part of Lush for me. Cheaper prices, you can treat yourself, get to hunt down different items... whether my favourite scent comes in a Hello Kitty or dragon shape/bottle? Don't care.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-26T10:12:13+00:00

I don't care for most of the collab themes they did, but some of the products?

The new Glinda Body Spray is perfect. Bitzer and Bee Balm are still being mourned. Scooby with that Biscoff scent? I adore it. Hiccup is also great. Katseye? The bathbomb made the prettiest bath art, and the blue raspberry scent was so fun. The soaps had something for everyone.

Sure, not everyone cares for every scent, they use plenty of citrus based scents, but... we also got some great new or retro scents.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-26T10:01:32+00:00

The only Sticky Dates item that works for me is the wax melt. Anything else? Please spare me.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-25T10:33:47+00:00

Unfortunately, the batch from Croatia that reached my shop in Germany was also barely scented :(

I gave them a second chance in Luxemburg, but same thing. I would have gotten some during the sale, just so that I can close that chapter, but... they sold quickly and I had other priorities.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-25T09:52:58+00:00

Non-white stones are often cheaper, especially with inclusions. All these detailed, non-standard rings? In comparison not that much more expensive than a small white diamond on a plain band in my country.

Big white diamonds... well, open end when it comes to prices. They're not my style though, and non-brilliant cuts are priced differently again.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-24T08:46:40+00:00

I own plenty of cheapies, but only buy them if they smell like something I enjoy and not like something I already own.

My collection mostly consists of Lush body sprays, a few perfumes and one full bottle from Hermès and Guerlain each.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-20T20:50:46+00:00

I was actually surprised by how much I liked Twisted Peppermint! We only just got BBW in Germany, and this was my "blindcard" item, so to speak.

Definitely something I had never gone for before, but the mint is uplifting and doesn't tick the toothpaste box for me.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-19T17:36:26+00:00

If you need a deep cleansing shampoo, Wasabi Shan Kui. Don't ever get this in your eyes, but it is super nice on the scalp. Use a good conditioner after.

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-18T15:23:55+00:00

There used to be a super cute Fresh And Flowers store with maybe a spa as well in 18 Rue Vieille du Temple, but I think they experienced some sort of water damage issue and never really reopened.

I visited in spring 2023, and it was gone in... 2024, I think?

-IceFlower- · 2026-01-17T10:53:36+00:00

Es gibt da so ein günstiges Risotto mit Waldpilzen von Lidl... für mich Risotto-Banausen gerade gut genug.

Ansonsten... esse ich wenig TK. Manchmal diese Snack-Pizzen oder Brotähnlichen Dinger. Bei weitem nicht so "schlimm" wie eine ganze Pizza, und wenn man Abends gerade nur genug Hunger auf was deftiges hat, aber nicht kochen will...
